Plus there is all the extra effects that have been added in over the past few months of further development to come that weren't even announced back then. In beta dx10 was available as an option but was disabled such as for the preview weekend as can be read here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26349063 In beta the options were there too and some people reported a difference however it was just a check box really for most part.
I'm not quite sure what you are talking about here regarding beta and DX10 but I can tell you that DX10 was NOT in beta in ANY shape or form. All they did was add DX10 check box in options to get people hyped up thinking DX10 is coming but that option didn't do ANYTHING.
People who chose the option "DX10" and said there was a difference were blind idiots. FC themselves later said this option does nothing.
No FC statment was that the difference, at that time, was negligable and that was the rason they removed it to add more indepth effects to the game. If you notice, some of what DX10 added to the game in the early stages is now supported by DX9 which is evident when you play the game on max settings.

Now there is an idea!
However, did you see that "* Resource items will now have a chance of dropping in PvP. These will be PvP Resource items (a new mechanic introduced in Update 1.04). More info to follow..." from which one the dev's said "These resources will be found in one of the border kingdoms"
Also looking forward to these 3 new area's, especially the 2 new level 80 ones
Cradle of Decay - Level 43 group instance, accessed through Field of the Dead
* Xibaluku - Level 80 group instance
* The Slaughterhouse Cellar - Level 80 single player instance
* Players can now desocket/delete gems in their items by opening the info view of the item and using the shift-rightclick menu on a gem. Desocketing will require a potion crafted by an alchemist. The recipe for this item drops in Xibaluku.
This patch won't be out before january or so. the patch notes are a tease of what is coming hopefully next week to test live servers
Playing: Battlefield - Bad company (Xbox360) Arma2, DFO (PC) On my radar: TSW, MO MMO's played: SWG (pre cu/cu), WoW, AoC, WAR, DFO, Planetside MMO's that I have tested: Lotro, L2, Aion, Ryzom
pfft, not worth coming back. if it was so difficult to optimize the game for DX10 then why Funcom had the nerve to say before launch and print on the game box that DX10 was in the game? No thanks, I will never buy a game from them.

yeah I didn't read that much about the reasource thing, it sounds like what I was asking for on the forums a couple of years back (dunno if you remember me as banok from forums). I'd like to know more, but if this is done well it could revive pvp from is vegative kheshetta zerg state.
am definatley going to come back at some point, I waiting for server merges and them to make minigames share servers (less probable?).

I remember mate I find it curious that a dev said in "One" of the border kingdoms. It looks like that are branching it out more, if "PVP resources only drop in this one area then and they turn out important then it's surely a good thing. I like to PvP and I like to craft The crafting needs a little bit more loving for my tastes but the new craft guy looks to have a good plan.

Not saying I agree or disagree with you, but do you have a link for that statement? I wouldn't think FC would be that outright as to mention the feature did absolutley nothing to improve graphics.
If only SW:TOR could be this epic...
AmazingAveryAge of Conan AdvocateMemberUncommonPosts: 7,188
There was not a DX10 exe in beta. DX10 requires Shader model 4, which was not in CB either.
Not long to go now and it will be in even better than intended something which the haters will be hard pressed to disagree with.

There is no link anymore. It's gone. And you needed to be "special" to get that information in the first place.
Holy sheit, the new patch rock. How can it be fcking bigger than last one.lol...lol...lol... My god. ANother midrange level dungeon. 2 more lvl 80 dungeons. DX10, more performance increases, and a ton of new content in general. Ohhhh man, I am looking forward to when this hits live server.

For me this new patch offers nothing interesting. More PvP content is needed and bad. Everything else is just fluff.
Oh, and it might take as long as 2 months before this patch goes to live server. They haven't even set any dates yet so it'll probably go to testlive sometime next year.

Actually they have set dates, It will hit test live this week and they plan for it to go to live servers in January.
Plus as part of this patch you can queue all to the minigames which will make them pop faster on top of the server merges. I don't think they need more pvp content they just need to get more people into the pvp content that already exists.

In addition there will be PvP resource drops available in one of the Border Kingdoms that is PvP content, developing what is already there. This will draw people from Kesh (along with a few other suprises) There is plenty of PvP goodness in this patch. Patch 2 and 3 spent about a month on test server there is no reason to think that the majority of this will come after end of January at this point in time.

What are you smoking? AoC have been heavy PvP centric over the last months updates. The game don't need more PvP stuff. FC should just keep filling in with new playfield areas and more.
