Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Preview

Okratas has released an updated preview of Sigil's Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, based on what is known of the game so far. Here's a little something about equipment:
Many past MMOs have made use of armor that boosts certain stats. Fire resistance, magical resistance, etc. However, Vanguard plans on taking this to the next level. Players will be able to have multiple suits of armor, that will have certain levels of usefulness based on what you are fighting.

This, to me, would seem like a throw-back to many older MUDs and even Dungeons & Dragons and that is not a bad thing. If you are fighting a dragon who breathes acid, you wouldn't wear armor that protects against fire. It would be useless. Instead, you would wear gear that protects you against acid-based attacks. This only makes sense, right?
