New Content Coming To Vanguard 45
Allakhazam spoke with Salim Grant, lead designer for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, about a variety of new content coming to the fantasy MMO. Grant says that the update will be free, and it will include two new dungeons, a revamp of the buff system, and balance changes.
"Both of these dungeons are going to have a group component and a raid component that you unlock. As we get closer to releasing these dungeons we will be releasing new features like AA, item enhancement, and increasing our level cap. ... We will also be merging as many buffs as we can into a single buff with one icon to help make going through your buffs a little easier. These buffs will be upgrades to their previous buffs as well. Some classes like Dread Knight will be getting something kind of different that plays off of their DC ability and we have a cool ability planned for rogues. Necros and druids will see upgrades to their pets as well. We are also using this chance to hopefully fix some of the power issues we have with our game. The way some of our formulas work is not very expansive and we are looking to fix some of these things while making some of our stat mods a little more valuable."

I don't mean to offend those who are genuinely interested in this game, but is this story really worthy of being on the front page? Sorry for trolling, but I just don't understand it. Slow news day perhaps.

If there is room on the front page for eighty thousand articles about World of Warcraft, or Apple or Google, then there's room for the occasional article about something else.

Yes. Vanguard is a MMORPG, and playing MMOs is a typical nerd pasttime, and with Slashdot being "news for nerds"...
Yeah, you could argue that only the most popular one deserves to hit the news, but if so, then Slashdot shouldn't post stories about things other than WoW, Windows, Java, and politics in China.
