Vanguard - Image 1The third Game Update for SOE's Vanguard: Saga of Heroes has its players excited for some raiding action. Surely, lots of areas in Telon are going to be experiencing some overhauls, especially with regards to the quests that'll become available. They'll be accessible to Level 11 players, but they're actually built for Level 16. If you haven't gone that far, then there's no hurt in trying.

What you guys might want to be aware of is the struggle between the Ksaravi and Khal. See, while the Ksaravi are plotting to wipe out the Khal with the use of alchemic poisons, you'll be needing the help of the White Coronaria priests to drive them back.

With the magic of the priests, you take your stand on Ksavari Gulch. If all else fails, there's Captain Venir Isthir to send some aid… i.e. wyverns. Hellsyeah. Ksavari Gulch will temporarily give you access to a wyvern mount. More treasures await you once Game Update 3 kicks in, but for now, at least the second update still has us busy with all the Resting going on.

Vanguard's Riftway System to get revamped

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Image 1

Traveling across the lands of Telon have certainly been made easier with the introduction of the Riftway System in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. SOE isn't done with the whole system, though, as plans to make it even more user friendly are under way.

Here's what Vanguard producer Thom Terrazas said in a recent interview with Ten Ton Hammer:

We actually plan on revamping the riftway system a bit to make it a little more user friendly. Right now it can be sort of confusing (especially if you don t have a riftway map handy) and there are regions of the world that don t have proper riftway access. We plan on addressing that in our next update we can give more details as we get a little closer to it.

It seems that SOE also has plans to add a few more Riftway Stones to Telon. Class specific ports and gates are also being looked into. You can check out the whole interview, which is actually just the first of a four-part series, by clicking on the Via link below.
