Everyone Has a Favorite
By Dalmarus

It's
been a while since we've had a poll for the week and what better time
than now is there to have one with Vanguard: saga of Heroes' release of
Game Update #6? There were quite a few changes and additions in this
massive patch, which just also happened to be the game's
largest to date. With all the cool things that have been added
(or re-added) to the game this week's question is pretty easy... or is
it?
What's your favorite thing about Game Update #6?
The Isle of Dawn
This is probably the
broadest general answer I've ever put into a poll, but at this point, I
don't want to split it up into a bunch of different items. Aside from
the fact that the Isle offers a very streamlined experience for new
players, it's also a lot of fun for old players as well. New items, new
adventures, and let's not forget the stand alone version that acts as a
14-day free trial for Vanguard as well.

Character Customization
It's back! It's been a very long wait and while most of us have
technically remained calm on the exterior, it's almost killed a lot of
people to be this patient. They've been gone from the world for far too
long, but they're back with a passion. Tweak your characters features
to your heart's content and look the way you always envisioned.
New Character Models
The new character models, or New Models 2.0, have been met with almost
equal amounts of love and hate from the community. They're definitely
more heroic in stature, but sometimes it comes at the price of having
too few options to tone their huskiness down. This has improved
recently and as time goes on, players are getting more accustomed to
the change.
Class Changes
There were a lot of them, but the ones that have gathered the most
noise are the Disciple revamp, the Sorcerer DPS boost, and the Monk DPS
"changes". Similar to the new character models, the class changes have
gotten people talking, but on both sides of the fence. Some think
they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, while others are out
rolling alternate characters.
Bug Fixes
They may not all be obvious, but this Update reportedly had over 1500
bug fixes. That's a lot of roach killing no matter how you look at it.
Some may say it all should have been taken care of before now, but you
have to keep a dose of reality in mind when thinking of the team's size
and resources. We won't even mention the state of things when SOE got
the game, so this was a positive achievement in my book.
Other
Per my normal routine with the polls, I've added the "Other" category.
You've heard it a million times before, but I'll state it again. If you
choose this option, you are morally obligated to post what you feel
should have been here instead.
Now it's your turn
to let us know what you think!
