Age of Conan: Friday Update: Postcards from Beta #2

Age of Conan's Friday update has been released. This time, it's "Postcards from Beta #2":

In this installment, I got some levels behind me and set about exploring the world as a rough, tough, confident man in a silly mask as opposed to a fresh-off-the-beach nooblet in a silly mask.



I must admit, I’m not much of an explorer type—my Bartle usually buries the needle somewhere in ‘Killer’ with ‘Killer’ as my secondary—but I keep finding interesting things just around the corner.



First, the ruins.



While striking a dramatic pose is cool, what’s even cooler is that the towering ruins in the back aren’t just a snazzy backdrop. You can actually make your way there and climb up them, assuming, of course, that the angry Picts you’re intruding on don’t take exception to that (or assuming you’re strong enough to kill them). It’s not an especially easy climb, but it can be done, assuming swarming hordes of cannibals don’t cause you any trouble.

Read the whole thing here.

    The tech 'SpeedTree' they use for some of the environment is really impressive. The old temple looks great, and the monster things are pretty detailed. Can't wait for Pharamond to ditch the funny mask and buy a nice helmet though :P

    yep, the screen shots were awesome

    So, any idea when Funcom will be shutting down for the holidays?  I think they take like a six week winter break and that should be happening over the next month.  Hopefully we can get some substantial updates before the break.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    I WISH!!!

    6 weeks of winter holiday :D.....

    No..Don't worry In norway we do have a winter holiday, but it's barely a week.

    xmas holiday is pretty short too..

    and I suspect that FunCom is not going to take many breaks until this beast is out  the door :D

    That last screen was quite impressive I thought.
