No AoE grinding for you!
The Age of Conan patch notes for today, while delayed, have hit and Tempest of Set and Necromancers are both seeing some pretty good nerfs. The changes mostly seem to be aimed at stopping the massive AoE grinding these classes were capable of, allowing them to level up quicker than other classes. This move would have made more sense to me if quest content was a bit more filled out than it is now. I suppose we'll have to be patient until that point.
Massive PvP
* Player city keeps now contain a vendor that sells siege weapons.
* Players will now get teleported out of the zone before the battle starts.
* Traders that would not spawn at the Battlekeep Tradeposts will now spawn. Traders will now be available at Battlekeeps.
* Ballista NPCs will no longer spawn at an unbuilt tower.
* The Boarder Kingdoms has had its environments adjusted. This should reduce draw-distance in those playfields and contribute to a performance-increase.
