Game Updates April 18,2007
Vanguard Build 1809 Patch Notes 4/18/2007
Ever wondered what kinds of things the developers of Vanguard have in store for the game? Wonder no more! With the In the Works webpage, we will be giving a quick glimpse of the projects we’re currently working on. The page will show both short term and long-term goals, as well as provide a top 10 bug list. You can find the page here.
GAMEPLAY NOTES
- Players can now obtain unicorn and shadowhound mounts.
- Hitting escape will no longer immediately drop you out of PVP combat so you won't be able to hit out of combat abilities repeatedly.
- Many abilities intended to get a damage bonus undead and procs on undead were working against anything. This has been fixed and they now only work on undead enemies.
- Large heals are no longer as likely to be interrupted. The cast time is no longer restarted for these abilities but follows rules much more similar to normal interruption. The time added to the cast from a partial interrupt is slightly larger than other abilities. This will make large heals easier to cast when being hit and when being hit by multiple enemies. However, they are still intended to be a challenge to cast in bad situations and players are encourage to use their quick heals at those times.
- Players can now use their mounts in outdoor areas all throughout New Targonor. Indoor and covered areas, however, are still mount-restricted. Bet you didn’t know your horse was claustrophobic did you.
- PVP - Paladin PVP ranged damage has been reduced slightly.
- PVP - Ranger PVP melee damage has been reduced slightly.

DIPLOMACY NOTES
- The Diplomacy Experience Curve has changed to place it more in line with the Adventuring and Crafting progressions and the overall Vanguard Experience. In general, gaining skill in Diplomacy will be much swifter at the lower skill range. As you reach the middle 200s, the progression is only slightly faster. It speeds up a bit more in comparison with the old system in the 300s. At the high 400s it speeds up one last time. This new curve is now much smoother and more logical as you gain skill. Special note: Diplomacy experience given by quests has NOT been changed. This means each quest, which before granted 1/3 of a skill point on completion, now grants slightly more than that at all skill ranges.

- Added a proviso to the Kojan tier 2 horse quest where you can have another copy of Ravela’s poem if you previously completed her sidequest and are doing the horsequest for a second time (or did it while the quest was broken and deleted her poem after you finished her sidequest.)
- Those who have been locked out of Bordinar’s Cleft writs should now be able to receive them from the Petitioners once again.
- A series of interlocking quests are now available on Qalia for all diplomats of 40 skill or higher. They begin in Khal with Mina Zeya, Hathor Zhi with Scion Aik’Tagi, Mekalia with Egata Reburleby, and Lomshir with Qarouk Telourshed. Complete all four of the questlines to assemble a full tier 1 suit with multiple presence types attached to it.
