Vanguard Devs Answer Questions from Players

The Vanguard developers recently answered some questions from players in place of the regular community news segment on the Web site. The questions were all submitted to the team last month.

According to the post, there are no plans to revamp Karax and Varking and the team doesn't have the resources to manage a class lead system at this time, nor do they want to "deal with the issues the last class lead system caused." It's possible you may eventually know how much experience you need to reach the next level, but it's not high on their list of priorities.

Each class does have a single, class-only weapon from completing Pantheon, and more content will come after Pantheon. Also, the team currently doesn't have the resources to focus on implementing guild quests or goals. You can read the full Q&A after the jump.

Will you consider to revamp Karax and Varking since no one is killing them? Maybe make them both lvl 55 targets? 

No plans to revamp them as of yet. We have made an adjustment to Varkings add casting that should make him a little more possible.

Are you considering implementing another Class Lead system, or a different way of improving class balancing and fixes? 

Do not have the resources to manage a class lead system and we do not want to deal with the issues the last class lead system caused. 

Will we ever know how much our total XP is w/out requiring a UI mod and how much XP is needed until next level? Like 43176/64823xp? 

Possibly but not really high on the list. 

Will Rogues get new or improved poison recipes with the new levels? 
Not planned currently. 

With the release of Pantheon dungeon and the level 55 level increase, how will the rest of the game being addressed? Given that Pantheon is the only line of content that's noted for level 55, for those who reach level 55, will they be restricted to just Pantheon while everything else is under level or is there more content coming out with Pantheon? 

More content will come out after Pantheon. 

Does each class have a specific, single class only weapon from completing Pantheon (at level 55 standard) that is equivalent to what EQ players would refer to as their 'epic' weapon? 

Yes. 

Are you looking in to fixing the Psionicist Mindspy group buffs by any chance? 

Not something we are looking into ATM. 

Can guilds look forward to guild quests or other goals a guild could obtain in the near future? (such as Guild Ranks, Guild Tasks or quests, etc with some form of benefit for the guild as a whole or guild hall/headquarters) 

Don't have the resources ATM to spend time on something like this. 

What's the process that happens when we submit a /bug inside the game - ie, where does the bug go, who reads it, what happens next, and so on? 

Bug reports are read by our QA team and if the bug is reproduced it is entered into our bug database.
