Dalla game director letter di Age of Conan veniamo a conoscenza che finalmente dopo TROPPI anni verrà introdotto il crafting system!
Un altra grossa novità sarà l’Achievement System che verrà rivisto sia per il pvp che per il pve.
Mi fa piacere vedere che Age of Conan sia ancora in fase di crescita.
Il crafting vi riporterà su AOC?
Let’s take a quick look at what early 2015 holds.
The first thing you will see in the 2015 is the new Achievement System. We’re aiming to patch that as a part of Update 4.5 in late January or early February. The first rollout of the achievement system will include Trials (awarded for dungeon run speeds) and include general achievements for PvE and PvP activities.
A part of the achievement system rollout is a new notification system, which we will be taking advantage of later in the year to create a smoother tutorial and introduction for the game.
For more experienced players, the new notification system will provide useful information about available content, challenges or events, for example, providing a notification that a World Boss event is under way.
After update 4.5, our next major focus will be pushing the long-awaited Crafting system out the door. We’re hoping to have that in place during early 2015. The itemization of our content releases will rely, to some extent, on the crafting system so it is a major priority to get this finished.
Speaking of content, I recently spoke about the PvP arena. As mentioned on the forums, the design document was mostly discussing things in terms of solo PvP, but with a fair amount of feedback being posted on the forums, we took a look at the design and expanded the scope to include expanded team sizes. The one feature that would drive the expense through the roof would be matchmaking, so teams for the arena will need to be self-organized.
Beyond the Achievement system and Crafting system, we are still nailing down our production schedule for the year. You can expect to hear more about the status of Palace of Cetriss and The Slithering Chaos in an upcoming letter.
Thanks for listening and supporting the game – I hope it will be a productive and expansive year in Hyboria!
