Vanguard: game update 4 patch notes

We’re letter the Vanguard MMORPG”s denizens know that the patch notes for game update 4 are now available for viewing. This latest game patch will include several new tweaks, including the inclusion of two flying mounts. More details on the patch are in the full article.

About a day ago, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) sent out word that they would be temporarily shutting down all their MMORPGs to accommodate several big updates. Now, if you’re wondering just what sort of tweaks this may mean for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, here’s a heads-up. The MMORPG’s official site has recently posted a complete listing of its share of updates from SOE’s widespread maintenance.

Several new features have been added to the game’s realms, including the arrival of its much-awaited permanent flying mounts: Griffons and Wyverns. The Griffon quest will require you to head for Southwatch, while the Wyvern quest will take you to Ancient Port Warehouse.

We’ve posted part of the official changelog below to give you an idea of what’s new. Those interested in getting the full details on this Vanguard‘s fourth update will want to visit the official site, via the source link.
