Monthly Development Update: May 2015

[Slith]

Considering the release date was 5/22, I'd expect sometime this week, possibly next week.

release anniversary conent done after the anniversary date would be weird.

I would expect it will be like The Dead Man's Hand but bigger.

Yes, ten times yes, Dead Man's Hand was a very good solo content with a main story and very good side quests very nicely writtens. Ofc it's hard to beat pirate-themed content but i think dev should aim what they did when designing Dead Man's Hand : an open-world map with various thing to explore.

Never thought that DMH could be a very entertaining pvp map if you remove mobs ? There's jungle, village, crater, beachs, swamp... and ofc the sea is full of sharks so pvpers wouldn't even rage about people going in the water to escape ! And it would be only reuse of the existing assets providing a new map for open-world fights as pvpers requested.

But if you removed the mobs, there would be no sharks.

Sharks aren't mobs they're environemental debuff.

Well, if they plan to release the new content by the 22nd, one would expect to see a notice in the launcher by now, so ppl can plan around the patch time.

It's funcom though haha

I'd rather have them put out good anniversary offers by the 22nd, and postpone the content by a week or two if that makes for a better, less buggy experience to be honest. This content isn't being tested on the PTR after all.

If FC does in fact reduce its membership fees then I will def come back. At the moment I cannot justify the money since I already burned through the majority of the content years ago and just to stay on to play with friends.

The servers will come down for Update 4.6 on May 20th at 12:30 GMT / 8:30am EDT / 5:30am PDT

A few months ago --> "Looking forward Update 4.6 will contain the new crafting system." - http://www.ageofconan.com/news/game_..._february_2015. So what happened to the craft revamp this time?
