Official AoC Forums

[Official] Herald of Xotli Bug/Issues

Wayne 'Yakomo' Soong, Funcom's US Community Coordinator continues his bug collection threads this week as he begins a new one for bugs and feedback on the Herald of Xotli. This thread will be aimed at collecting bugs and feedback for this class and Yakomo will be adding a list of known issues and keeping them up to date for players until Funcom patches in a fix or adjustment. Yakomo has already compiled a nice list of known issues, so if this is your class you may want to read the list and see what might be affecting you. Feel free to toss in any feedback of your own as these threads are aimed at improving the class.

Dragon Con!

Ten Ton Hammer scored a lot of screenshots and a video preview of new content from Leipzig.

Funcom will be attending this year's DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia. Hype has already began for the event and Funcom will have a booth set up for attendees to pay a visit. There will also be a presentation of Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures and contest for free swag. You can read more about DragonCon here.

[Official] PvP Update Discussion

Funcom's US Community Manager Glen "Famine" Swan opened this thread a few weeks ago to discuss the upcoming Player vs Player (PvP) update. The thread has remained pretty active and there are mixed feelings on the update as some like what it could do for PvP combat while others are less optimistic. Give it a look and tell us your thoughts. Just keep it constructive. Good feedback can help change the game for the better.

Armorsmithing Spreadsheet

EKStickland posted this thread with some useful information for aspiring armorsmiths. The thread contains a link to a spreadsheet with several armorsmith recipes laid out by levels. The spreadsheet can be viewed here.

AoC Ten Ton Hammer Threads of the Week

AoC State of the Game Interview with Erling Ellingsen and Thorbjørn Olsen

This is perhaps the hottest topic on the AoC Ten Ton Hammer forums. Many of our forums personalities are clashing in this thread as some like what they hear and others are less than happy about it. The thread is based off of a Ten Ton hammer interview with Thorbjørn Olsen, Producer; and Erling Ellingsen, Product Manager from the Leipzig convention. If you haven't watched the interview "State of the Game" give it a look and tell us what you think.

AoC Closed Booth Presentation from GC Leipzig '08

Another popular item of interest was posted recently by Ten Ton Hammer Executive Editor Jeff "Ethec" Woleslagle. This closed booth presentation showed off some of the upcoming new content areas for AoC. View the video here and tell us what you think.

Weekly Funny With The Tuk

(The Weekly Funny is not reflective of the views of Ten Ton Hammer. They are however of mine.)

Since Youtube made its way to the World Wide Web I have seen many stupid things. I have seen things that I thought were the pinacle of the lowest level of stupidity imaginable, and just when I think I have seen the bottom, someone will come along and show me how deep the rabbit hole really goes. Such is the case with this week's rocket scientist. When you approach a gate or something that requires you to stop your car, get out, activate something to make it open, and return to your car to drive through, most people understand that the way to do this is by putting your car in park. Well this week's super soldier figured he could let his vehicle keep going while he mad dashes for the switch. How did that work out you ask? Spatula please...

Faster than a speeding bullet...I don't think so...
