The next <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/vanguard"><em>Vanguard</em></a> content patch, Game Update 4, has now had it's features listed. Headlining the <a href="http://vgplayers.station.sony.com/newsArchive.vm?id=447&amp;section=News">preview over at VGPlayers</a> is the addition of flying mounts, and we get to see what they look like (that spiffy griffon pictured above, if you didn't guess). Also mention in the preview is the introduction of visible helmets -- while it's nice to see them in the game at last, it's hard to be too thrilled with visible helmets being a big feature in a patch for a game that's been out this long. GU4 will bring Veteran Rewards for older accounts to <em>Vanguard</em> as well, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/10/eq2-4-year-veteran-rewards-revealed/">similar to what we have already</a> in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/everquest-ii/"><em>EverQuest II</em></a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/posts/list.m?topic_id=27917">Over at the forums</a>, there is an extensive list of the other things that GU4 will bring. Notable among these is a new overland raid target, Fengrot Foulbreath (designed for 18 well-geared high level players) and updates to the Druid, Necromancer, Shaman and Dread Knight classes. If you want to try out all the updates, the whole lot is already in place on the Test Server, so you can take to the skies with your fancy new helmet right now. We have the full list of changes for the patch posted after the break for your perusing. <br /><br /><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/22/vanguard-game-update-4-preview-shows-new-flying-mounts/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Vanguard Game Update 4 preview shows new flying mounts</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/22/vanguard-game-update-4-preview-shows-new-flying-mounts/">Vanguard Game Update 4 preview shows new flying mounts</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 22 Feb 2008 07:00:00 EST.
