BIG EVENT in Conan on MAY 23 [Title edit Drest]

[sugarspice]

It starts on the 5th year anniversary (US release). I do apologize on behalf of the team who chose to release the game and didn't consider that in 5 years the anniversary would fall on a slightly inconvenient day for you.

It will run for 5 days.

Now that's funny!

Two questions appeared here (could we concatinate them with topic?)

OoOOoooh! A real anniversary event!!!

I am really glad that AoC seems to be going in ALL the right directions since Joel took over.

If we lived in Hyboria, I would have rented the man several whores for his decisions.

"Aye, we are surrounded and outnumbered..."

"What now my lord?"

"Now we sound the bells of war. We should call upon every strong arm and sharp sword to fight. We will bring them to their knees and see them crushed by the fury of our kingdom."

Any plans of removing Conan intro speech? It makes people think the game has in fact a resemblance with Hyboria.

Any plans in changing the game's name to not confuse Conan fans?

I know I reacted the same way when I watched the video the first time... I even wrote a long email about it, internally!

But I don't get the name change thing...no other game/movie that I know of is as true to the source material. Any examples to give?

What's wrong with the video ? That speech seems to refeers to the nemedian invasion coming from east (wild lands of zelata background), pictish one (from west, thunder river background) and stygian (from south, Thot-Amon questline). Not counting the internal wars and treachery in Aquilonia.

I'm still smiling when i see that melee being wtfpwned by caster, so 2008 !

Were there any pixels in Hyboria?

I read in someone's blog that rogues should be removed from AoC, that they were useless in bosses fighting dinamics, and for that Tainted Weapons / Finely Honed were introduced to make them not fall into oblivion.

The sad thing is the blogger was right.

So removing barbarians in a game about Conan is just an example of what I tried to say.
