Vanguard: April Jones talkes to mmorpg.com
|
April Jones of Sigil Games talks about diplomacy, group-oriented gameplay and more.
"Adventurers are going to need diplomats," explained Jones, citing an example where a group finds a dungeon that is simply too well defended to enter by brute force.
This ties into a theme of interdependencies in Vanguard. It opens up a range of new ideas that require players to work together to achieve goals. Adventurers may find they need a diplomat to get into the dungeon, then a crafter to fully harvest the rewards at the bottom.
"[Non combat classes are] a lot more integrated with what players need and use than other games I've played," said Jones.
