Age of Conan - Tradeskill fixes in the works

Greetings, fellow craftsmen and -women! I know many of you are concerned about what is happening to the Tradeskills/RnB (resource and building) - I am writing this to inform you more about what we are doing and what is happening to tradeskills soon. I am also writing this in order to explain what has happened to the alchemy crash since todays patch. Let me start with the bad stuff first. First off - if you are an Alchemist, opening the tradeskill book by any means will crash your client since ...

Massive PvP

• Player city keeps now contain a vendor that sells siege weapons.
• Players will now get teleported out of the zone before the battle starts.
• Traders that would not spawn at the Battlekeep Tradeposts will now spawn. Traders will now be available at Battlekeeps.
• Ballista NPCs will no longer spawn at an unbuilt tower.
• The Boarder Kingdoms has had its environments adjusted. This should reduce draw-distance in those playfields and contribute to a performance-increase.

Greetings, The login server is experiencing some technical difficulties. We are also experiencing some difficulties with the chat server on the dimensions that are still online. We will be performing a rolling restart on those chat servers to resolve the issue. So you may experience chat connectivity issues for a short duration until it has fully been restarted. The operations team is also on the reports with the login server. More information will be provided as it comes available. Thanks, ___...

Greetings again my fellow Hyborian Adventurers! Over the past few weeks theres' been tons and tons of feedback coming in about our Mounts and Mounted Combat. Many improvements have already been patched out to the Live servers based on this feedback, and there is more to come! We've discussed a lot of different approaches to several issues lately, and I wanted to take the time to make a post here and share a few details about upcoming changes and, hopefully, in the process answer a lot of question...

Thank you for heading over here to the boards to continue the discussion. We are very serious about our Massive Siege PvP system and we became more aggressive on fixing several issues appearing in that regard. The bulk of the feedback can be summarized within two categories: a) Client performance and b) Content and collision. I would like to say that most of you ? our players ? most likely have some time to go before you reach the stage where Siege Battles become a daily activity. It is unfortu...

Player Characters


Archetype

• New buff counters were added to a number of mage and soldier effects.
• All gathering feats should now have the correct proficiency suffix in their name (e.g. 'You need Woodcutting Novice to perform this action' messages).
• The Goad ability can be trained and used on a NPC that does not have aggro on you. You must be in combat to use this ability.
• The buffs from rogue general feats Concealment, Distraction and Mountaineer will now be removed

...

Here are some of the features and content that you can expect to see implemented into the game within the next few weeks.


Evolved player vs. player system ? great things to come!

PVP Hyboria is a lawless place, and we even encourage players going at each other, at least on the numerous PvP servers. That?s what?s good in life, right? Still, unfair and unmotivated aggression should have consequences, and that?s why we?re now introducing the so-called fugitive sy...

Greetings, We will not open the Buddy keys until we have sufficient server capacity. Most likely we will open this in stages, starting with the 555,000 buddy keys found in the Collector's Edition. There will be no separation between US and Euro keys, so they will open at the same time. We are currently evaluating our server capacity, and guests will be able to start playing in the not too distant future. As soon as we are ready we will notify everyone directly via email (the one you have registe...

Mounts

• The Killer Rhino and War Mammoth have received a minor increase to their trot and gallop speeds. The trot (default movement speed) should now be slightly faster than a jogging player, while the gallop should only be slightly slower than a sprinting player.
• The Standard Horse has received a moderate increase to it's canter and gallop speeds. The canter (default movement speed) should now be equal to a sprinting player, while the gallop should be slightly faster than twice the speed of
