[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I will only list the newest changes. The link has them all. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2356431 Achievements A new feat of strength with an associated title, "the Camel-Hoarder", has been added for players that have bested Dormus and obtained the Reins of the Grey Riding Camel -- because there must always be a Camel-Hoarder. PvP Rated Battlegrounds The achievements to win 100 rated Battlegrounds have been renamed to "Veteran of the Alliance" and "Veteran of the Horde", and now award those titles. Achievements to win 300 rated Battlegrounds have been added, awarding the "Warbound" and "Warbringer" titles to the Alliance and Horde respectively. Arathi Basin The achievement "We Had It All Along cough" now requires the player to win Arathi Basin by 50 points or less, up from 10 points or less. The Battle for Gilneas The achievement "Jugger Not" now requires the player to win The Battle for Gilneas by 100 points or less, up from 10 points or less. The achievement "Out of the Fog" requires the player to defend 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3. The achievement "One Two Three You Don't Know About Me" requires the player to assault 2 bases in a single battle, down from 3. The achievement "Not Your Average PUG'er" now requires 10 total flag defenses, down from 50. The achievement "Battle for Gilneas All-Star" now requires a single flag assault and flag defense in a battle, down from 2. _______ DK Unholy Desecration no longer triggers when an applicable strike hits a snare-immune target. This is primarily to avoid unnecessary spell effect clutter during boss encounters. Mages Frostbolt damage has been increased by 10%. Fingers of Frost bonus damage applied to Ice Lance has been increased to 25%, up from 15%. Holy Pally Illuminated Healing has been increased to provide 1.5% effect per mastery, up from 1.25%. enhancement Shammy Enhancement Improved Fire Nova has been redesigned and replaced by a talent called Seasoned Winds. When an enemy spell cast is successfully prevented with Wind Shear, the shaman gains magical resistance (in an amount equal to what a protection totem/aura would grant, stacking with such buffs) to the spell school(s) of the interrupted spell (except for Holy spells), lasting 10 seconds. Dire Maul North The Gordok Courtyard Key in Fengus's Chest is now replenished after several seconds. The Mechanar The Cache of the Legion now unlocks when Gatewatcher Gyro-kill is gyro-killed. Stratholme Postboxes no longer require keys to open, because really, who locks their postboxes anymore when they're all undead? It's just people sending coupons for brains anyway. The Postmaster now spawns when 3 of any postbox are opened. Uldaman The Staff of Prehistoria is no longer required to open the door in the Map Room. Baelog's chest has been given new loot. If it's grey it's good, right? Zul'Farrak Troll Cages no longer require the Executioner's Ke Guilds Two new custom guild tabards have been added as Guild Rewards. The tabards are account bound and offer a bonus to gaining guild reputation. The amount of guild experience rewarded for rated Battleground guild group wins has been dramatically increased. Players are now rewarded guild experience for Honorable Kills in the field. Players are now rewarded guild experience for Battleground wins in Battleground brackets up to level 80. Arena teams are now awarded guild experience for wins. The entire team must be members of the same guild to earn this experience. Items All trade goods available for purchase with Honor or Justice Points from the associated commodities vendors have had their prices reduced by 50%. Maelstrom Crystals are now available for purchase with Honor or Justice Points from the associated commodities vendors. PvP Arenas The Ring of Valor has returned! It should now be playable again in the Arena map rotation. New starting areas have been added for Ring of Valor. Players will no longer enter the Arena on the elevator. It's been removed. Instead players will start in a room at opposite ends of the Arena. Quests & Creatures A handful of quests have been added to Northern Barrens to provide more level 18-20 content. Look for new quests at Nozzlepot's Outpost and Darsok's Outpost. Loot from the creatures Garr, Julak-Doom, Mobus, and Poseidus has been adjusted to be commensurate to their rarity and invested effort. User Interface The Guild Finder has been implemented! While we are continuing to add final polish to this feature, we welcome all focused testers to give it a go. Feedback can be provided here. -----signature----- I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore /north /north You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]! /cast sheild sheild spell unavailable /csat shield csat: unknown command [Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]

	And lol at the holy pally change. We don't take mastery AT ALL and that certainly isn't incentive enough to start stacking it. -----signature----- I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore /north /north You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]! /cast sheild sheild spell unavailable /csat shield csat: unknown command [Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]

	When they change it to "Players are now rewarded Arena Points for Honorable Kills in the field." it will be a step in the right direction. -----signature----- Guttersludge People just can't handle the truth.

But why just to level 80 that makes absolutely no sense? For the exact reason I stated, WoW PvP is retarded and people aren't doing it anymore, so in order to show their bosses that they are cool and the PvP is alive and well, they need to add rewards that the PvE crowd likes. Hopefully the sheep will see guild xp and start doing lower brackets again. -----signature----- SWTOR, Maybe in a year. Back to WoW for now. With a lil f2p CoH.

	That's not exactly fair, guilds aren't strictly PvE content. I'll give credit where it's due, this is a good change, not Blizzard playing damage control. Besides, it's such a minor change, it's not likely to keep anyone that's thinking of leaving or bring anybody back. -----signature----- "When the government scares people into thinking it must take their liberties away, and the people let the Government do it.

	Really? Why only til level 80 then? What reason could they have for not having HKs generate guild xp past lvl 80? This will just lead to more HK farming in the middle. -----signature----- SWTOR, Maybe in a year. Back to WoW for now. With a lil f2p CoH.
