Omg now i triple want to play this game

Nice update.
Is the new PVP system with consequences they were talking about now already in game?
Still being tested but due very soon, GUI things are coming into place too.
More can be read here if you have access: http://forums-tl.ageofconan.com/forumdisplay.php?f=239
I also noticed:
"All quests for Oasis of Zaara, Imirian Ravines, and Frost Swamp (available at levels 40 and 60) should now be repeatable and functional"
Maybe they are spreading itemisation more out now?
The gem dupe was also fixed in this patch.

Ah.... I can still login but I don't have access to the forum anymore.
Thanks for the info, I will definitely resub as soon as dx10 and the new pvp system are in place.
This was the final nail in coffin for me. They fixed it but no mention of it.
and all the people running around with duped gear don't get punished

Damed if they do, damed if they don't. There was no way to track it, and in a few months, it wont matter anyway. Just like every other exploit in a game that the items were left in. Most likely they will remove all the like item ID numbers in the database.
Who cares, its fixed now.

You telling me that after 3 months of patches the best they can do is still just class balance patch after patch. Thats what like 12 or so class balance attempts for the Necromancer now?
What did they lay off everyone but the class balance Dev? LOL What a joke.
Ahh - so they can "punish" buyers but all the funds gained by selling exploit gear/items are left untouched.
Endless doubt and accusations againt "mounted" T3 guilds with battlekeeps

World of warcraft is still balancing classes. What’s your point again? Patching and tweaks are part of MMO's. There are also a lot more than just class tweaks in there.
You people are reaching with "teh Hat3".

I'm not a fanboi.
Sure, lots of things to fix, but some things take longer than others, and MMO's are not made by one guy in a room, working on one issue at a time. They are made by teams that work on different systems at the same time, so once one fix is finished, it gets pushed.
One day, I hope people will realize that the Voice actors are not the same people working on the guild bank features.
Working on one item, does not mean all other items stop getting worked on, and visa verca.
Next.

So they fixed the gem dupe.
Made the PvP sieges a lot better
Working on Class Balance - from feedback the #1 thing that needed attention - so with this update is one of the biggest in this area.
They added in over 40 more voice quests - something else people wanted to see.
Began more itemization across levels in repeatable area's.
So have to start somewhere and this update is pretty good in that regard.
But I guess some people just don't want parts fixed because lots of their hate arguments will be history.
I would take a look at the very active test live forums if you have access.
Definitely some good updates in there. The DT fixes are pretty dissapointing (still) but some of the other classes got some much needed loving.
So can an attacking team actually take over a battlekeep now? If they haven't actually worked that bug out all the updates to "Massive" Sieges doesn't mean squat.

Clas balance is an important issue but when they constantly gloss over important core game problems to balance a class week after week rubs people the wrong way. If they would have just worked on the memory leaks and lag spike issues that would have went a long way to help keep people happy.
Instead they nerf a class one patch buff it the next patch rinse and repeat patch after patch. Meanwhile some classes were unbearable to play because alot of their skills didnt even work.
Look at how many weeks it took to get the Arena quest fixed and some people still cant get in the arena still. Although it only took 2 months to fix the enter the pyramid quest so I guess they get points for that one.
looks like the game might be ready for release in six or seven months so I better not throw my disks out just yet
I miss DAoC
I was hoping for sure we'd get the pvp patch this time. I am more than a little disappointed.
In my opinion they didn't do near enough to actually balance the classes either. I mean come on...do something about the damn guardian.
Oh well maybe we'll see the pvp penalties and stuff around this time next year. WTG Funcom.
Can you destroy a keep now?
Gamer Plus+
Because the inflation happening in game now, with all the exploiting and duping of items ofcourse..
