Age of Heroes: October 17

Greetings Exiles!

The wait is almost over! We’re excited to announce that the Age of Heroes will arrive on October 17!

This is the dawn of a new age, and the team has worked hard to make sure this update feels like it. Soon, you will accompany fully voiced heroes as their legend is made, eventually recruiting them as companions to your cause. The unique perks they acquire will depend on your actions in these epic quests.

Living Settlements, the second major feature in Age of Heroes, will breathe life into your base thanks to worker thralls now existing in the world, reacting to their surroundings and living their life.

All of this will come with bug fixes and multiple smaller changes. We can’t wait for you to embark on this new adventure in the Exiled Lands. Only a week to go!


Bounty Hunting Ends October 16

Satisfied with their collection efforts, the mysterious bounty hunter caravans prepare to slink back into the shadows on October 16th.

Hang on to your well-earned coins and craniums, however - the headhunters shall return.

We don’t know what they fixed yet. Although the working patch notes document has still been left untouched.

I didn’t lose my time. This was a choice I made, no one forced me. It answered questions I posed for myself and it allowed opening up the dialogue for players to know what to expect as well as what needs to be done.

We’ll see what happens.

Absolutely not, but you’re insanely dedicated to kill those bugs and I’m pretty sure everyone here greatly appreciates it. :heart:

Do undead bosses (and many other mobs) still try to fight you with bare hands instead of their weapon, or animals just run up to you aggressively but don’t actually attack?

Because if that’s not fixed, I don’t care what new content has been added, there’s no point in me playing the game. :confused:

Finally.

Unless it has been fixed since reports filed during Beta, both are still bugs.

I hadn’t put in a report but shalebacks often aggro and stare.

dont you have a deja vu feeling with this line you wrote?

thats one way to put it, but still we are getting a broken update despite your effort to provide feedback and reports,. they still got a malfunctioning Beta program, and ZERO knowledge how to properly have QA. that has not changed a bit. and i do expect the same when this hits. same as the other updates from Age of war. i expect a plethora of bugs added with no real player benefit. messing around with system that was working well.

should i remind everyone the quite significant list of bugs of the inventory system? or tavern? or the dreaded fall thru foundations bug? or the still (to a lesser degree) the battle eye disconnects.? the performance issues found on official server? i could go on and on and on …

i mean i wonder with what kind of “professionals” are we dealing with ? who is calling the shots of this upcoming shitshow that is comming? how do i know this? based on previous experiences with the new “content”. it has happened every single time with age of war… and guess what, IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE with age of heroes. why? read below!?

you cant expect a different outcome when they are doing the same exact shiiit as previous major “content” launches… so expect the same results…

i think its AI problem, (performance issue) sometimes (now more rare ) they will put out their weapons, i have seen followers do the same and attack with fist when they have a weapon. and it is still a problem found in both beta and live servers. (it also affects the grey ones, and others humanoid critters)

sadly i do wish to be surprised,. but i know i am not going to… we will bring this chat after october 20. and see where we are. but i know better. i know whats coming, and i know how people will react. when they start getting their hard to find crafter killed

did you guys noticed that they AGAIN!!! choose to launch this on a thursday? just before the weekened? even when it was said and requested to launch big updates on tuesday so there is time to address major problems? nope, they do NOT listen! they are simply ■■■■■■■■ where they eat eversingle time!

Not interested. Y’all can keep the Age of Heroes to yourselves, just give me the Golden Age of CE in the form of a pre-Sorcery patch roll back option in the beta tab on Steam and a couple official “legacy” servers. Thanks!!!

My guess is that they will have fixed very little, and potentially nothing while likely adding more issues and bugs.

My dude, you and I know how we feel but I’d still like to give the benefit of the doubt to be proven wrong.

I completely agree that the Beta process must change. There’s much to be said here.

if i could see some changes with previous age, and chapters, i swear i would give the benefit of doubt, but sadly nothing has changed.

even the promise of not launching before a weekend is broken, i mean my toilet paper is worth more than funcom promises and their word. communication? absent. QA, who knows where it is. (i think there is none, or it is highly disfunctional) a better beta process? we got exactly the same…)

same things as in the past, how can we expect a different outcome when they are doing the same mistakes they did in the past? how can i give the benefit of doubt when i see NO CHANGE in their behaviour?

Love Conan and excited about the update. Do appreciate the fixing of bugs. A lot companies seem to only focus on the new. Quick and happy to throw my money at you - hope to encourage you guys to work on new maps, decorations, etc.
