Thread: Game Director's Letter - September 2013

    Funcom Game Director's Letter - September 2013

    September has been a ridiculously busy month for Age of Conan, with many of the long term plans starting to fall into place. Today I am going to talk about Tradeskills, Halloween events, Unchained dungeons and, of course, the largest server merge the company has ever done.

    You can read the full Game Director's Letter - September 2013" on the Age of Conan website.

    Sounds good, like the direction and am sure i will love the new event, will you be able to voice this event or is there to much text to do that?

    "Over 6 million characters were merged and re-sequenced. At an average time of 1 second per character merge, this operation could potentially have taken 70 days. Thanks to clever scripting the majority of active characters were merged within the 24hr period and any inactive character which is loaded will take less than a second to load."

    24x60x60= 86400 Active Characters.

    The server merge was totally worth the hassle as Crom is buzzing.
    A bocor creates a zombie by walking to his victim's house backward. He sucks out the person's soul through an opening in the door, then quickly blows it in a bottle which is then sealed. Without a soul, the victim wastes away and dies and after burial, the bocur digs up the body and casts a spell over it.

    stands to ask if with tradskill revamp :

    .will you finaly make the shrines of bori sacrifice material body parts droped by players?

    .what exactly will be the pvp crafted items you are planing and where could they be used given your planing on making unchained minigames only type of minigame?

    .will the current quest based w3&t3 crafted encounters be ingame with adjustment to items needed to start quest and correspondent quest reward weapons?

    .what happens to battlekeeps given you need current ingame materials to reconstruct them?

    .any plans to revamp the whole battlekeep/border kingdoms due to tradeskill revamp?

    any answear will be appreciated if if i hate answear.

    If only there were an incentive to go to testlive and beta test for you guys.

    Anyone remember when the Sag mini map went on TL? TL got flooded because funcom offered an incentive. But perhaps they HAD to offer an incentive for that one since getting 24 people on TL at same time is next to impossible if left to chance.

    Glad to hear that the tradeskill system is progressing.

    Joel, you probably know this question has popped us elsewhere, but given that some GUI work has to be done, will you also be making any changes to the trader window, so we can search for crafted items (e.g. search by item stat or by crafter etc.)?

    This might be a worthwhile capacity to tuck in, while finishing the new tradeskill elements.

    Thanks for the update.

    Now I have to buy pants for my Stygian toons. Don't want them to freeze their nuggs off in Conarch village this Halloween.

    Also, crit crafting recipes let me choose the item's looks!? That's pretty boss.

    the merger, considering the scale of it, went super smooth.

    Is crafting revamp hitting live servers in 2013 ?
