Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures has officially launched and the story everywhere is that the launch is one of the most successful in MMORPG history. This week we continue the Cryer post launch coverage. Ten Ton Hammer has been pumping out game related goodies and guide content and you can expect that flood of information to continue. This week we have released over 16 new content items for Age of Conan. The community has been heavily discussing AoC since launch and with all the discussion, chatter, and excitement 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 of the week and save you the trauma of reading through the drama. Funcom lays the smackdown on exploiters, clarification on the emotes bugs, Tuk's Weekly Funny, Lost in Hyboria names the damsel, and AoC Ten Ton Hammer releases a ton of new content, 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.)

Funcom sends out the mercenaries to deal with exploiters.

Official AoC Forums

Complain for GM banned Contact CS support

You may have noticed that little message on the patcher as you are logging in from Gaute Godager about Funcom laying the smackdown on a bunch of people who made use of game exploits for personal benefit. Like most other waves of bannings this has caused a bit of an uproar from some people claiming they or a member of their guild were banned for no good reason. While I am sure there is a chance some of the bannings/suspensions may have been in error, I have a hard time believing it was as many as we often see complaining. Its kind people who commit a crime and get caught. they are all innocent, kind of like this guy. Therefore Kjin has had enough and created this little thread to show people where they can report their problems rather than spamming the forums.

Armorsmith Guide

Baque beat me to it but I have one in the works too. An armorsmith crafting guide of sorts and a good overview of things to come in the armorsmith crafting profession. Anyone looking to dabble in the fine art of gear making might want to give this a peak.

BUG: Do not respec your feats, you'll loose all your gathering & crafting skills!

Nostarion was nice enough to start this thread to warn people of a crafting bug that they need to be aware of. If your into crafting you should give this a read and make sure you don't make the same mistake. With any luck things will work out for old Nostarion, but we would like to thank him for pointing this out. (Especially since I was about to do it.)

[OFFICIAL] Response to emotes and censorship

There seems to be some confusion with a few players regarding emotes. Some believed that the emotes had been censored by Funcom, but that isn't the case. Due to a recent patch, some of the emotes were broken. This will be resolved in an upcoming update, so put down the torches and pitchforks.

Great Moments in MMOs

Nastalgia for the win. This is one of those threads that will make you think back to the good old days, if you were around for them. There are many moments a lot of us can think back on as comical or fun in our favorite MMORPGs of the past such as the Everquest "Train to Zone" screams or in my case the first time I got caught running through Kithicor as the sun went down. I'm sure you have stories of your own and this is a great thread to share them. Be warned...You will get nastalgic reactions.

"Beauty and the Geeks" explores one of Martuk's life long fascinations.

Lost In Hyboria - "Beauty and the Geeks"

You can discuss this week's comic in this thread. With JoBildo on vacation this week's comic was a little shorter than usual, but still contains that witty humor that only JoBildo can deliver.

The Feedback and Bug Thread

To help Funcom make this game the greatest it can be Ten Ton Hammer has begun a Bug and Feedback thread. This will allow you (the players) to offer feedback and post bugs that need fixing for us to report to Funcom. Please read the threads original post before posting and be sure not to add exploits. That is also covered in the OP. Once we have a fair amount of information we will throw it together for Funcom and send it off.

Best Solo (PvE) class?

Enquiring minds want to know. The opinions vary on who the best PvE class is for soloing. Chime in and add your thoughts and explain why. Many have already done so like Stanton who makes some good points about the guardian and points out the workings of several other classes. Some classes will naturally be better at soloing than others, but the opinions to which vary from person to person. This thread is a good indication of that.

nudity?

This thread was made to discuss such topics as Boobage (My word tm), and no I don't mean JoBildo. The topic is more along the lines of discussing how much nudity is in the game. The original poster displays something rarely seen in the media world when it comes to violent video games and/or nudity such as we see in Age of Conan, and that is...~gasp~ responsibility. The community responded with some light hearted jests and some useful information on the topic, but like all games the rating on the box contains the useful infoz. What are your thoughts? Let us know.

I left this screenshot in just because of the awesome sauce.

 

Friday Funny with The Tuk

(Note: Friday's Funny is an opinionated comedy piece not reflective of the view of Ten Ton Hammer. However, it is of mine. =p )

Do you ever see some people that are so incredibly stupid that you haven't figured out how they managed to keep breathing? Well this week our Friday Funny is about one of those people. If you set something on fire, and then doused your pants in gasoline, and then ran through said fire, what would you get? I only ask because if you know the answer you probably know the ending.

Gas+Idiot+fire=This week's Funny

 

Ten Ton Comics

Lost In Hyboria - "The Invasion"

This week our heroes realize they are no longer along on the island as an army of newby invaders encroach on the island. Will the newbies survive the trials of the island? Will Gibbles end up making a snack out of one of them, and will Martuk manage not to screw something up? All good questions, but I think we all know the answers.
