According to the NPD Group Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is topping the sales charts surpassing World of Warcraft in their recent sales charts. This quite a feat to say the least as it also topped the chart in the number one slot while the Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures Collector's Edition took the number three slot. It probably missed the number two slot due to the fact they sold out. This week we continue the Cryer post launch coverage as we take a look at some of the top discussions and great content for the Age of Conan community. Ten Ton Hammer has been pumping out game related goodies and guide content and you can expect that flood of information to continue. The discussion has been raging across the forums since launch as the community settles in and the battle for the Border Kingdoms begin.

 

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

Griefers beware. The prison looms.

Official AoC Forums

Frustration in Tina's bedroom :)

This week an official forums local named Volleyjeff brought a comical little comic he created from some Age of Conan screenshots and captions regarding a comical encounter with Tina at the Thirsty Dog Inn. The comic shows off the many temptations met with disappointment for some players in the world of Hyboria. Add your thoughts and discussion to this thread and have a good launch at Volleyjeff's expense.

Real Heroes of Genius - AoC Style

Anyone that enjoyed the old "Real Men of Genius" commercials will probably have a good laugh at this thread that Sigtric began. It converts that comical commercial lingo into a community joined thread of comical MMORPG adaptation parodies. Judging by the participation the community seems to be having a good time poking and prodding at each other with their own versions. Read on and have a laugh or make your own for this comical little stereotypical discussion of laughable parodies. Try saying that five times real fast.

Massively Jail System Excerpt

A recent article by Massively has set some new discussion into motion over the new PvP jail system that is coming to Age of Conan. The subject has been one of much debate since it was originally announced, but Massively touches on the system with a few words from LordOrion. Gankers and Griefers beware!

Small Update - Things on the Way

Glen "Famine" Swan posted this new thread to give players a preview of things that may be in the next update coming out of the Funcom workshop. Possibly one of the most anticipated is the fix for socketed items. Crafters of the world rejoice. Perhaps we can reap the fruits of our labors now.

Why I disagree with AoC's mentality on gear importance...

There are several views on how gear should play a part in Age of Conan and not everyone agrees with any one view. BahamutDF began this discussion to express and debate his views in a well thought out post (even if you disagree with it) on his views on the matter. Several members have chimed in with their own constructive posts on the matter making for some good discussion and debate. However, as with all good threads there must be a troll and this one is no different. Add your opinion to this great topic and for god sakes don't feed the trolls.

 

AoC Ten Ton Hammer Threads of the Week

PVP vs. PVE

Curious to know what the difference between a PvP and PvE server is? This is a good place to gather some community opinions on how the two differ. Some crave the never ending hunt of PvP while others prefer the more peaceful hunt of the pvP server free of gankers. Both sides get some good representation here and offer up some good discussion. Until you reach page two and then some of the trolling starts. Move along people, nothing to see here.

The Feedback and Bug Thread

We have collected our first round of bugs and feedbacks given by you our loyal community to help Funcom make this game the greatest it can be. This thread 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 collected a fair amount of information we will throw it together in our second update for Funcom and send it off.

How do you open up on multiple foes?

Necromancers, how do you open up on multiple enemies? Falrinth wants to know. This thread is based around how players engage multiple enemies as a necromancer. What is your strategy? Discuss it here. You might even be able to learn a few tricks from some of our members.

Uncle Machail scores an interview on player bannings.

An Interview with Funcom About Recent Player Bans

Ten Ton Hammer's AoC Site Lead Machail (or as I call him Uncle Machail (no relation)) recently scored an interview with Funcom about the wave of player bans that swept through the servers over the last few weeks. In the interview Funcom explains the actions taken and the need for a swift dealing with some of the problems that led to the bannings.

 

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 )

Oh if only my job centered around pointing out people who cause themselves physical harm for my amusement was a reality I would never run out of work. This week I dip into the archives to bring out one of my favorite unfortunate individuals that have only themselves to blame for me laughing at their misfortune.
