Title: Re: Age of Conan "State of the Game" - Leipzig 2008 (Video) Post by: schild on August 21, 2008, 09:28:46 AM I'm not stalking you, I promise. You just happen to be making wonk thread. TTH nicely summed up what you'll be waiting for:
Quote The Funcom team has a lot planned, including DX10 support, PvP updates, armor, and adding new content to fill the level gaps. Find out what's in store for Age of Conan with plans on criminal and murderer status, bounty-hunter rewards, an expansion and more in Ten Ton Hammer's exclusive "State of the Game" interview. PLANS, PLANS, PLANS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND... ... no action. Title: Re: Age of Conan "State of the Game" - Leipzig 2008 (Video) Post by: Murgos on August 21, 2008, 06:37:09 PM To be fair, they do have really cool plans.
It's just that you're a fool if you pay them while you wait to see if they ever deliver on them. Title: Re: Age of Conan "State of the Game" - Leipzig 2008 (Video) Post by: Mrbloodworth on August 22, 2008, 10:38:12 AM In the true FC fashion little details were revealed, of course, but here's the basics:
- The game was shown with DX10, but FC refused to date the patch it will be coming in - Two new areas will be added soonish: Ymir's Pass and Common District in Tarantia. Both areas sound very interesting, the second one even more so: Quote This mid-level slum area allows players to pick a side in a gang war between street bandits and the rulers of the rooftops. Questing will include thieving, exploration and stealth gameplay as well as combat, and complex storylines with moral choices. - A full revamp for Black Castle, making it a 'sophisticated' group instance.Quote Attention then moved on to the Black Castle dungeon, which is being extensively revamped. Originally a basic dungeon aimed at solo players, it will soon be a more sophisticated group dungeon featuring traps and puzzles reminiscent of the Legend of Zelda - shooting an eye with an arrow to kill a giant snake, or standing on pressure pads to allow your team-mates to pass flame-throwers. Tongue-in-cheek tributes to Indiana Jones and Frankenstein had players fleeing from a boulder and piecing together a monster from body parts. - Improvements to boss fights throughtout the game, as well to loot, both epic and other variety.Quote There's also an attempt to give boss fights more personality (Ellingsen mentioned World of Warcraft's strength in this area), an epic feel, and superior loot drops. Ellingsen says Funcom is conscious that it needs to improve the quality of loot throughout the game, and is overhauling its entire loot distribution table. - Two more level 80 dungeons are in development, another one in Thunder River and House of Crom, a 'huge' social [read - Main System like] Cimmerian instance.PvP update Quote On the anticipated update to the game's player-versus-player systems - originally expected some weeks ago - Ellingsen would only say that it was expected "relatively" soon. (In fact, he said "very soon", and then corrected himself.)

They already did that a month ago, the body part quest was bugged as far as our group could tell, but all the rest is already in there.
