| [Vanguard] New group content, raid mobs Also, PVP is coming on PvE servers Ikik posted: I don't know if it's posted somewhere already or not, but we are going to get pvp on pve servers sometime soon. I don't know the specifics, but there will be somewhere on telon where you can pvp sometime soon. Today's Patch Notes GENERAL Shores of Darkness The KDQ wants you. An elite group within the organization known as Kamelott, Inc. has discovered an artifact believed to belong to an ancient race. The organization is now recruiting all adventurers to assist them in collecting information on the artifact and recover some property they lost on the way. The KDQ is offering all adventurers a spot within their ranks and this spot comes with a full benefits package. So if you are brave enough, join the KDQ at Kamelott’s Landing in the Shores of Darkness. * Help the KDQ investigate the strange artifact discovered on the forgotten battlefield. * Become an agent of the KDQ rising up the ranks as you gain faction and accomplish tasks unlocking new reward potential along the way. * A new camp where players can meet, group up, craft, browse the market, or store items in their bank. * Repeat the quests daily gaining faction and more chances at rewards. * Over 700 new equip-able items are available for those who help the KDQ. * A variety of new expendable potions. * A diplomacy slot item similar to the Isle of Dawn bracelet. * A new never released mount. * Some other rare and unique items. * New recipes. * The introduction of new item mods. * Healing Effectiveness * Healing Crit Chance * Healing Crit Amount * Flurry Resistance * Rage Resistance * Another chapter in the story of the Xennumet. RAIDS Lost Canyon * Karax Woefather awaits any adventurers who want wish to challenge him. Be wary when travelling in the Lost Canyon. Ruin Falls * Another one of Torkald’s brothers, Varking the Accursed has risen up challenging any who are brave enough to find him in Ruin Falls. Zossyr Hakrel * The Jharru of Zossyr Hakrel need help stopping the force known as Guar the Earthen Destroyer Blighted Lands * Si'Imr-Li the Harbinger stands at the gate of the nexus guarding the door to the ulvari homeland. Can you defeat him and find out more about this strange threat to Telon? Fengrot Reitemized * Fengrot’s loot table has been revamped. His old loot has been moved to a bonus loot table split between him and Varking. A variety of all new items have been added to a separate table. These new items should better match the difficulty of the encounter. APW * The Core Processor will drop the dungeon specific loot like the Exalted (ores, gems, molds, dusts, etc.), plus he has his own unique loot now. * Much to the dismay of the Thestran Watch, some happy haunts have assembled a small party outside of New Targonor to celebrate the Festival of the Grim Harvest, despite Sartok’s recent activities in Telon. Interested parties should hurry, as there’s no telling how long they’ll be gathered. ADVENTURING * Some NPCs will now be able to land critical hits. To maintain balance, this has been restricted to new content and certain high-end encounters. * Fixed the riftway map, not displaying after clicking on the riftway. * Fixed a bug for when dead NPCs were not being removed from your antigroup list * Fixed a bug for when dead NPCs were sometimes not being put into a death state * Changed messages for critical heals * Group leader will now see invited characters in group when the leader was previously in a disbanded raid subgroup higher than 1 CRAFTING * Kavos the Dyer, an exotic crafting goods merchant, has set up shop in New Targono * The crafter's rented horse should now properly grant the rented-mount effec * The quests to learn other crafting styles can now not be taken at the same time.

+107 Internets | I knew it would be quick, but the very first reply. Impressive. That being said, I'm fairly surprised they're even still doing shit with this game. I wonder what the current active population is. Is anyone here still playing it? |

| Too bad they can't patch in a population. PvP on PvE servers does spark my interest a little, considering the PvP server is dead.

| So how much raiding is there yet? 1 week worth? 2? 3? I want to play this, but not for a month only. I will wait 10 years if i have too. Is the total amount of raiding in Vanguard already greater then the amount of raiding in WoW a few weeks after launch? (Molten core+ onyxia+ white dragon ? ) |

APW is a single raid dungeon but it's much, much larger than MC. Eventually, people could do MC in a night. This will never be possible with APW. At least until they raise the level cap that is. I can't remember how many encounters there are in apw, but it's a lot more than MC+ony. Plus there are about a dozen overland raid mobs. Oh, plus there is one, possible two (or even maybe three) raid dungeons coming out before the end of the year. Pantheon of ancients will have group and raid content, which may be related to Nexus (another upcoming raid dungeon) or may be separate. I also seem to recall the devs saying stiirhad would come out around december but I could be wrong on that (and if I'm not, the devs themselves were probably wrong). But the point is that they have a lot of new content in the pipe and now that they've finally released the trial island they can start putting it in.

| The area they put this content at is HUGE. lol They have the Kamelott camp and a hole in the mountain where you enter the area. There is monsters coming out trying to attack the camp, but they have Sniper Gnomes with laser guns fending them off. haha.
