General Discussion

The folks at Funcom have published a new dev journal which gives players a look at some of the new culturally themed armor in Age of Conan.

Developer Dave Williams provides us with a couple of nice screenshots as well as background information about some of the new Culture Armors which will be introduced to Age of Conan very soon.

From A Treatise on Niello

Long before the rise of countries which today are scattered across the continent, there was commerce between the ancient nations of Stygia and Acheron. Trade brought discovery, as goods traveled the span of the known world – and elements native to the far-flung reaches of the civilized kingdoms were first mingled in forges and workshops to form hybrid metals that exhibited the best properties of each ingredient.

Many such alloys were forged by the master sages of that era, who deduced the specific proportions necessary, and likewise the methods of construction. Niello, that black metal described centuries later as the Scales of Set, was purportedly used in the secret rites and rituals of the Dark Lord's many adherents in this age and the last. I cannot attest to the veracity of this notion, but I will remind the reader that in every legend lies some thread that can be traced back to its birth, and ultimately to some hidden truth.

Right where Funcom should have focused at first...

PvE is strong in AoC compared to say...WAR, etc...and they should have made sure to had a strong showing out the gate before flubbing around with PvP.

This is an awesome idea, and can't wait to be buying these or making them...

Sonds really interesting. Hope to see it soon in the game.

Yet another thing that was brought up DURING BETA that should have been in release.

Funcom is a joke.  Warrhammer is kicking their ass and they don't know what to do.

Because PvE rocks

And the game keeps peoples interest

Stay on topic. And the game kicking AoCs ass is Wow FOI, and it will probably kick WARs ass too when the expansion comes.

Besides WAR got a few promised things we havn't seen yet too, like 4 citys.

It is good that they are getting things together, the cultural armours I seen looks awesome.

as opposed to the posts from focused losers that we have here.

/chuckle

I'm wiling to bet I am more successful in my life than you can dream to be.  Regardless of that, War just hit 750,000 registered accounts.

We'll see where that is in a month, however, we both know AoC will still be far, far below.  Enjoy your niche game -- you and the 10 other people.
