Trial Island/GU 6 announcement

Get Ready for Game Update 6!
As early as next week, Game Update 6 will be hitting the Live server! The final changes have been made in response to the valued player feedback, and we're just about ready to release GU6 which will include thousands of bug fixes, the long awaited character model revamp, and our highly anticipated trial version of Vanguard, Isle of Dawn !
Isle of Dawn
We're introducing a brand new starting area which will showcase all the best that Vanguard has to offer. New players will be able to experience the world of Telon on a trial basis while exploring the Isle of Dawn. Existing players can choose to start their new characters in their selected Race's standard starting area, or begin their adventures on the Isle of Dawn and enjoy new content up to level 10!
The Isle of Dawn was separated from the continent of Kojan during the cataclysm. A village of battle hardened humans and a band of zealot hobgoblins have warred against each other for centuries on the Isle. Their mutual hatred for one another runs deep and even now they are locked in an ongoing struggle. Recently though, increasing numbers of ulvari have begun to surface on the island – much to the dismay of both the humans and the hobgoblins.
Weakened by their perpetual war, the humans aren't able to capably defend themselves. Even now, their villages burn as they frantically seek aid. The isle is in desperate need of heroes.
Thousands of Bug Fixes!
Putting polish on the game is an ongoing effort! Although we've always been dedicated to making Vanguard play as smoothly as possible, this Game Update you can expect to see a great number of bug fixes – over a dozen pages of patch notes, to be exact!
Character Model Revamp
We've given Vanguard's character models a makeover, beefing up the men while enhancing the feminine features of our females. Not only have their bodies been given a revamp, but most of the facial customization that was available at launch has returned! You'll now have dozens of ways to make your character unique in appearance, all while increasing performance!
Players will also have more options when it comes to armor. Each race now comes equipped with their own unique undergarments, which will be an optional replacement to the traditional clothing that currently covers the bare models.
I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

This is my fall back game, when all gets boring on a new game I head back to VG, good game if you like Old Eq1 style
yay trial island.. played at the end of the open beta and it was simply awful.. lets see what they have done in a year or is it 2.. I forget now =D
Bragging about 1000's of bug fixes in a patch when the game has been out for almost 2 years is amusing. 1000's huh? Good, thanks for finally getting around to fixing those 1000's of bugs. Do the PR guys even know how embarrassed they should be?
Of course, this is the reason I have been waiting for GU6 to go live before I even install my copy of VG.
even if gameplay is improved.
the toon models are too ugly for me.
March on! - Lets Invade Pekopon
The trial island (Isle of Dawn) is really a masterpiece of quest design, both adventure and diplo quests. Also IMO the models now are quite ok. No killers, but definitely good. If any of the hyped MMos like WAR, WOW or whatever arent your piece of pie, you might wanna try this game now.
There is no PR. The person who wrote the text is probably the same person who painted a few textures
VG is running on an very small dev team. Its not bragging, the devs are quite realistic. They just try to get the best out of it.
Been on test and liked the isle so far.

Correct me if im wrong but aren't the new character models coming with GU6?

They are the same models with revamped bones and a bit more athletic appearance. The biggest win is the reduced lag in crowded (PC and NPC) camps.

I think the character customization is a bit more than that. I think of it as:
- Bringing back facial customization back to what it was before GU2 I think everyone was satisfied with these options. I am still waiting on the female facial customization results which I think will be important and where not so hot when the test version first came out. The net result is that helms now work and there is some FPS imporvement since release.
- Enhanced body customization. Supposedly better than ever before.
- Enhanced appearance armor. (not sure how much)
FISHING!!
To lil to late , and get rid of the F$^$&ing ridiculous Neofreakin Pet mounts they implemented in GU5.
HAHA...I quit Vanguard cause my main was a Sorc. and was planning on comeing back when GU6 hit with all the updates they promised from what they messed up with gu5 update.....and i swear to you they just used the same same sorc update no changes (sames bugs in test as they had during Gu5 testing same stupid ideas that are not helpful at all), but i guess that what you get when you have no class lead cause the devs ran him off......so much for listening to the valid points from the community.
So lets solve the problem SoE style Sorcs = Useless
Lets Give them more useless shit+Nerf the DPS classes=Sorcs are awsome now right?
but hey atleast i can make my char. look sexy now with all the options i have to change his apperance
even if gameplay is improved.

Yet you're playing EvE and L2... funny stuff.
1) Will the character revamp in GU6 include additional haircuts, or will we still have only 4 hairstyles to choose from?
2) Are they planning on hiring an "Animator" in the near future in order to revamp the character animations (including NPCs) as it was done for EQ2 a few years ago?
Play other games and be happy.
1) I know nothing about additional haircuts. Which is very sad.
2) That can only SoE answer. Nothing so far about additional personal.
There are no new haircuts, according to Silias as of a month or two ago or with what is currently on test.
They are planning to redo the animations but most likely this will not be done before the end of the year.

Dont be stupid its things like misspelled names or graphical glitches , small things that most people dont even notice
I havent ran into a bug in vanguard in so long i cant even remember what it was think it was ther group loot bug and i caused it myself by hitting the exit button unstead of the 3 options ,need , greed and pass same thing that happens when other people get it, someone fucked up thier roll but guess its easier for people to blame vanguard than admit they screwed up

Dakkar, the Gloom Blade is still bugged. The Tsangs Riftway is still bugged. The Legend of Grakkor is still bugged. Skawlra Rock is still buggy as hell. Still can not completely disable combat music. Still have to /flush regularly
. Quest Acceptance still gets bugged where you have to close and reopen window(and sometimes the quest isnt reoffered) .
I could go on, but i will not. Please dont try to claim there are NO bugs.

"Hey guys and gals,
We are aware that there are animations within our game that is not up to par. It will be addressed, but is a separate pass than "PC phase 2". The animation pass is a pretty big task and we did not want to delay the release of the new PC models.

"New animations are not considered phase 3 as there is no phase 3. It is a process we are looking into and we will eventually address as Christian said. I would not expect it by the end of the year as the task is daunting."

Did i say theres no bugs, doh. Guess am lucky ive been playing sence day 1 and ive never seen most of the bugs i see people listing. In fact i just ran 2 alts in a row through Skawlra rock i never encountered any thing i would consider a bug. I do get that quest acceptance one but thats new i just started getting it recently, big deal it happenns once a week at the most.Some quests are bugged in the game, like i care when the quest giver has 25 other quests i can do.If its a major quest line you can petion a GM and they will help you anyway they can, but ive got 8 alts and ive never had that happen to me
Honestly for me vanguard is no more buggy than any MMO ive ever played

Cool, Thanks Orphes. an "animation pass" doesnt suggest "new animations" though, maybe some minor tweaking and it sounds like its not on anyones list for anytime soon.
