Major revisions in Age of Conan crafting revealed N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Major revisions in Age of Conan crafting revealed Massively: "Okay, Funcom, we get it. You're deadly serious about fixing Age of Conan. First the beginnings of the PvP patch went live, 'Patch 2', giving players PvP XP and gear. Then we got to see the reworked notoriety system on Testlive, along with shady camps and six pages of patchnotes. And now we get a lengthy document about coming changes to the crafting system on the Testlive server. Good heavens, anyone would think that Craig Morrison bloke actually knew what he was doing.

Age of Conan crafting had been lacklustre. The new changes, which are scheduled to go live as part of Update 3 - the very same update that will polish off the PvP changes - add much more depth and complexity to the tradeskills. Weapons and armor will now have recipes that drop for city, base and culture versions, depending on whether they require a guild city or not. The 'base' pieces can be worn, and also used up in crafting to produce new pieces."

'Shady camps' and more in latest Age of Conan Testlive patch N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - 'Shady camps' and more in latest Age of Conan Testlive patch Just as players' patience was starting to fray again, 'Patch 3' has arrived on the Age of Conan testlive server, and it is a chunky one - Massively counted at least 594 meg. Feel like browsing the patch notes? Make a nice cup of something, put your feet up, take your time... there are six pages to wade through.

Obviously Massively can't detail all of them here, but they range from the silly-but-desired 'Party people rejoice - proper drunkenness has been implemented!' to the necessary 'Fixed several causes of crashes and assert errors' to the trivial 'For decency's sake, Old Finn now has pants!'

Age of Conan PvP gear list N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Age of Conan PvP gear list It took a while getting there, but PvP gear finally made it to Age of Conan. Was it worth the wait? Apparently, yes. The PvP patch has caused a marked increase in enthusiasm for the game, and players are killing each other like never before in their haste to earn PvP levels. Unfortunately, the AoC PvP notoriety patch didn't go live yet, so nobody is being branded as a murderer or criminal no matter how many lower level passers-by they ambush and massacre.

Martuk at Ten Ton Hammer has put together the first part of an exhaustive catalog of all the PvP gear that's made it into the game so far, complete with requirements and bonuses.

Don't expect any "more" Adult Content N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Don't expect any "more" Adult Content New game director Craig Morrison, who has taken on the role following the resignation of Guate Godager, has addressed the players directly on the game's (missing) mature content.

Craig confirms that AoC was never going to be 'adults only', just as senior dialog writer Aaron Dembski-Bowden stated several months ago, but that 'the themes that come out through the quests and dialog that the team have written is very adult and does tackle some mature subjects really well'. This is how it's going to continue, and there is no question of Age of Conan 'toning down' its approach.

Massively: Age of Conan players get to grips with new PvP mechanics N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Massively: Age of Conan players get to grips with new PvP mechanics By a startling coincidence that probably has something to do with a planetary alignment in Capricorn or some such, the first big PvP patch went to the Age of Conan servers at about the same time a certain other game was gearing up for final launch. Massively has no idea how or why this could possibly have happened, and are frankly amazed at the synchronicity.

At any rate, the players have been getting busy killing each other; there are even reports that some servers are now 'booming'. We're seeing quotes like 'This is the most fun I have ever had on AoC.' Of course, we're also seeing posts that report tumbleweeds and lone and level sands stretching far away.
