Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is just a short two and a half weeks away and Ten Ton Hammer's Border Kingdom Cryer is covering it every step of the way. This week we continue the Cryer countdown to launch, and to add to the excitement, AoC has reached open beta. As of this issue we stand at 19 days to launch and 16 days if you're on the head start countdown. The launch date is lingering around the corner either way, and discussion is raging on the official forum as players everywhere are anxiously waiting for the gates of Hyboria to open. The gag order from the NDA on journalist has been lifted and you can expect a flood of information to be coming out of the AoC Ten Ton Hammer site. With all the discussion and chatter it can be difficult to find those great pieces of discussion and those ever so rare nuggets of info as you sift through an endless sea of dramatic posts and flaming rants. Let Ten Ton Hammer do it for you. Join us as we take a look at some of the best discussions and save you the trauma of reading through the drama. Open beta is here, AoC Ten Ton Hammer releases loads of class information, Open Beta talk, Lost in Hyboria returns, all this and more in this week's Border Kingdom Cryer.

(Note: If you don't understand something I have said or abbreviated get caught up on the terminology here.)

Official AoC Forums

Thread 4 Everyone Using Ign Beta Event .501 Client Still Getting Authentication Error

What's beta without a few bugs eh? This thread was started to address an issue with some of the open beta clients. You can go here and see if maybe there are some tech suggestions that might aid you. You can also twitch as you anxiously await to get in. Cry, flame, complain, and moan. I'll be over in hyboria while you do that so let me know how it turns out. ~Laughs maniacally~

Am i the only positive one? ==first impressions==

This was a creative post from Tersidre. it was nice to see some positive reviews after reading all the bleeding rants from those who either can't log in or those that can't play. I think i can explain that guys. Might have something to do with everyone trying to log in all at once and killing the server. Which is actually good. That's part of the reason they brought all the new folks in. While frustrating it will help the game get ready for launch. Hopefully it will stabilize and you can all play soon. until then. Join this thread for some decent discussion. A little less on the ranting end you'll get in some of the others.

The official forums post will be cut short today. Even I can't sift through the current sea of dramatic rants at the moment. We now return you to happy hour at the hammer.

 

AoC Ten Ton Hammer Threads of the Week

Lost In Hyboria - "The Jungle is Lonely"

This week's comic has generated a good bit of Haha from all of you people who joined JoBildo in having a laugh at ol' Tuk's expense. The comic centers around some of my misfortune and has generated some light hearted discussion. Go ahead, get your shots in...while you can. ~Runs back to evil lair.~

Open Beta

What server do you plan to play on during open beta? Axis wants to know. Join this discussion on the latest open beta gossip and general twitching of anxiety. Somehow, Axis also managed to reignite the RP-PvE server debate. This is sure to be an interesting thread.

What do you love about AoC 1-13?

Sir Robin graces the AoC Ten Ton hammer forums with his presence and wants to know what you, the masses, like about the first 13 levels of Age of Conan. Personally, I'm with Robin on this one. The music and ambient sounds are excellently done. Of course I have to agree with JoBildo about the excellent combat. I could go on and on, but that's enough babble. I'll do it in the thread. Come join us.

Clan Interview and Showcase - MEH

Clan Soup's first interview is up. You can discuss the first interview with the guild MEH in this thread. Share your thoughts and if you think we didn't ask something that we should have, add it and we will note it for the future.

 

New Feature - Ask the Devs

Ask the Devs

You have questions and we have answers. With the cooperation of Funcom and developer Jason "Athelan" Stone Ten Ton Hammer has arranged a nice new venue for players to ask their questions for developers at Funcom about Age of Conan. This week Jason "Athelan" Stone has been very busy answering many questions. You can read and discuss them in our answered questions forum here. Have a question you would like to ask? You can do so here. Just be sure to read the guidelines first as the questions will be moderated to keep out things that have already been answered elsewhere and silly questions to make it easy for Athelan to answer things as quickly as possible without unnecessary clutter. However if you have a good question, by all means post it and we will try our best to get it answered.
