Pour les anglophobes, un résumé des points importants :
- Ne pas oublier d'installer la dernière version de directx rapidement, car d'ici la fin de semaine ce sera obligatoire
- La zone de Martok est maintenant ouverte, c'est la première zone du 3ème continent ouverte au public
- Les orcs et les goblins sont maintenant possibles d'être choisis comme races à la création de personnage
- On peut maintenant spécifier soi-même un texte pour les emotes, par exemple "/dance say dances like a rock star." (à noter le paramètre "say")
- A partir de maintenant, lorsqu'une personne ou un groupe effectue en premier une certaine quantité de dommage à un mob (actuellement fixé à 5% de la vie du mob), le kill lui revient ainsi que les récompenses, fini le kill steal
- Les aptitudes du druide ont été refaites, il faut les racheter (les anciennes ont été bien sûr remboursées
- Pour le craft on peut maintenant raffiner des composants déjà craftés en objets raffinés, par exemple une dague en cuivre peut maintenant être utilisée pour fabriquer un lingot de cuivre
- Désormais seuls les buffs ayant un effet concret sont affichés sur les cibles, par exemple si un buff a tous ses effets inférieurs à un ou plusieurs autres buffs actifs il n'est plus affiché

Vanguard Build 01543 Patch Notes 11/6/2006
GAMEPLAY
- Martok is now open for mayhem, destruction and carnage. Lollipops and sunshine not included in this patch.
- Orcs and Goblins are now available at character create.
- Recent vehicle changes made it necessary to change vehicle databases, so any ships you currently own will need to be named again the first time you try to spawn them.
- You can now specify your own text for socials (/dance, etc.). Example: "/dance say dances like a rock star." (note the "say" parameter)
- Added mob tagging. Ownership of an NPC is established when a player or group inflicts a certain percentage of damage to an NPC's total life points. Players who do not own the NPC will see the life point bar grayed out in their offensive target window. Players who do not own the mob may still contribute to damaging the NPC. However, only the owner (either a solo player or group) will receive kill credit. As we evaluate this tuning knob it is set such that the first group or player to do 5% of the targets hit points will receive kill credit
- There is a new formula for energy pool size. You will now get a bigger bonus from +wisdom items and the high end (good items and buffs) pool sizes have been significantly increased.
- NPC Immunity Sets should now correctly affect effects applied by bard songs.
- Not to Split should now properly split, not split, and drop.
ADVENTURING
- Druid - Your revamp is now live. All of your abilities will be stripped. You should receive reimbursement that is to be used to purchase new spells. Probably not a bad idea to do that before battling the forces of evil.
CRAFTING
- The Dull Tools complications now display the correct action point cost penalty.
- Ragged Metal and Mangled Ladle complications now show percents for their action point cost penalty.
- Drake hide Tool belt now affects the wearer's attributes.
- Dull Tools, Ragged Metal, and Mangled ladle remedy options that say they raise quality should actually raise quality now. Ladle still mangled though.
- Tool belt of Security now affects the wearer's attributes.
- You are now able to refine crafted components into refined items. For example a copper dagger blade can now be used to make a copper ingot.
DIPLOMACY
- Nillia Janeth should once again be willing to parley for the Mordebi diplomacy quest, "A City Divided."
- Renegade Aneesha is now level 40 to account for TLC bug.
- Sergeants Rygga and Auhmurt have gotten tired of the smell of horses and have moved out onto the street for fresher air. Hopefully Rygga will now be amicable to parleying with everyone.
- Hapu Abar should once again be handing out "Return the Contract" to Qaliathari players.
GUI
- Only buffs that are applying some sort of effect are now displayed in the attached abilities window. If the effects of a buff are completely overridden by the effects of one or more other buffs, it is no longer displayed.
