Funcom has partnered with Gamespot to open up the Age of Conan beta for a PvP weekend from Friday April 18th to Sunday April 20th. They'll be accepting 15,000 players for the event, and you can sign-up for it with your GameSpot registration. |
Another interesting combat feature is that you can double tap a movement key for a brief special effect, such as a chance to stun with the forward key, or a chance to dodge with the backward key. Sound like a lot of button-mashing? |
On saturday 28th of June 2008 On the EU PvP Server Soulstorm we managed to succcesfully put together a 24 man raidgroup consisting of totally random people． Our goal was to defeat Vistrix the dragon． |
According to Solberg, The Black Ring Citadel is a so-called raid dungeon intended for adventuring parties as strong as twenty-four men and women． |
Setting character creation in the bowels of a slave ship and following soon after with a cutscene in which players are told they must kill for their freedom quickly fosters an uncommon single-player feeling． The boundaries between classes seem well defined． |
I searched through at least two pages of macbook unboxing videos and couldn't find it． I remembered that the guy sounded orgasmic so I gave the keywords "Macbook unboxing orgasmic" a shot and there we go! |
The map is textured as an old scroll like thing． Only textured though since its completely flat． The whole Hyboria is printed on the map so the map doesn't represent only the game area, which at this point is a really small part of the whole hyboria (Lots of room for expansions at least． ^^), but the whole world the game is based on． |
The special ring is called "The Ring of Acheron"． It will increase your xp gain by 2' and your stamina by 3'． On the forum there is word going around that the ring is only usable until level 40． |
Funcom is currently in the last stages of development on Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, and is just readying the game for its scheduled October release. |
They haven't mentioned a specific time as to when these changes will take effect, but you'll definitely want to be prepared for it. Grow stronger and more skillful as you progress through the game, because when PvP Mayhem comes to Hyboria, you definitely don't want to end up on the wrong end of the sword. |
