Discussion Thread: Age of Heroes

I’m totally cool with focus on PVE content since PVP is 95% PVE. I love dungeon running, finding new things and having new experiences. Makes PVP versatile and spicy! Herbed? I’m sick today so I might have a limit on intelligent words LOL

Shake it up, make the world more interesting. I could definitely think of unlimited ways to make everything more engaging.

Key is not screw-ing it all up and I agree with @Hansel:

Yes, the issue of unrequestet/unwanted changes has unfortunately already occurred in the past. There has also always been unfinished and immature new content. But I hope that these things will now be a thing of the past.

And yes, despite all the negative experiences that occurred back then: I am looking forward to the new age - but probably only because I can internally project so much into the term “Age of Heroes”. :see_no_evil:

Undeniable dominate brought sorcery…
Sorcery brought wars…
Wars created heroes :woman_shrugging:t4:.
Whatever comes as long as they have the time to prepare each update and for God’s sake fix a lot game breaking issues.
New age you are very welcome and hopes for better season!

I don’t know where to take this one since 3.0 gave rise to new attributes and created the new paradigm in the game of our character was the hero vs the game we played earlier which was glorified pokemon.

I mean the attributes are mostly in a good place now (minus a few meta stuff that could just be tweaked to perfection for balance sake)

I do agree that finishing the corrupted trees may be the option but the corrupted attributes don’t give me the “hero” vibe.

Religions, as they are now, are in the same boat as not “hero” vibes but changing them to be more of a positive position maybe the path here and then give us the bumps in these.

One thing that this definitely avoids, IMHO, is any closure to the pet project (which is basically closure in itself due to the age of the open project) so I have given up any hope this will every be addressed .

This could be a complete overhaul of the legendary gear as heroes of legend are typically defined by the gear they were bestowed by the PTB (Powers That Be).

Just too early to know what direction they will go and too little leaked.

Bah.

What we really need here is The Age of Coming to Jesus on the Situation with the Ignored and Spurned Player Community and the Overwhelming, Game-Breaking Bugs.

Well that’s one way to mansplain @Kikigirl post :wink:

Jesus cannot be placed in Hyborian Age - he appeared much later -, so this comment is completely obsolete. :nerd_face:

Wonder woman comming ?! :face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears::face_holding_back_tears::face_with_peeking_eye:

Fair. A Come to Yog age, then. :stuck_out_tongue:

No Conan is Marvel…or at least was. I think he went to Dark Horse.

Soo… no religion overhaul again? =(
rip age of gods

oh one thing that could be coming with this age is a way to “free slaves” or free sacrifices from other players or NPCs (maybe from the WoP at Sepermeru and add a WoP at the Sytgian Siege) and they then follow you.

I won’t let the hope die. It’ll happen one day. It’s not impossible for them to sneak it in, with the “heroic” aspect being boons from the gods

I’d rather they don’t. Religion needs its own dedicated Age, not be a mere supplement to an arbitrary Age.

At this point I’d settle for a chapter, better than nothing

I won’t. If they only give us a chapter, it is torch and pitchfork time.

Honestly, this one has no idea what the content will be.
No, that’s not true exactly. This one can imagine several grandiose outfits that will be added to the Bazaar. Lots of cloaks and bling. That is considered content. Obviously not what is being asked about.

What is a Hero?
Especially in context of the source material…
Howardian heroes are deep individuals who either stand alone or in the company of true companions. They scorn the conivances of the politicians and priests who rule over the weak slaves who hide behind walls. They speak truth before power, and when power tries to squash them for it, they smite the head from those whose power comes from laws and rules that fly in the face of honour.

The only fragment of a clue that this one can imagine is a comment they dragged Andy off vacation to make some weeks ago, something about new ways of interacting with existing content.

That causes this one to think that actual new content will be thin (especially in light of the extra chapter followed by doubling of chapter length). This isn’t necessarily a complaint if they make significant progress on bugs and the new content is well implemented.
This one will take a handful of diamonds over an equal value of lead ingots any day.

How can existing content be modified to make it “Heroic”.
If we discard the Howardian concept of Hero in favour of a more gamist approach, we may be seeing “Heroic” versions of dungeons. When entering one of these locations, one may have an option to go without a thrall or at a higher level of difficulty (probably by receiving a specific debuff upon entering, because having multiple versions of the same dungeon doesn’t work with the current architecture of the game), ect… In exchange for some bonus at the end when one leaves the dungeon (because, again, change the actual content to something instance based is a complete reinvention of the system) via a specific method (not dying or just walking back out the entrance). But that seems clunky and just bad honestly.

A level cap up, or post level 60 “Heroic” levels might be a thing. Altho what would that be useful for?

Or will they just add more named characters from Conan lore who will give out quests for specific loot?
In that the player gets to be the gopher for established Heroes?

Ultimately, this one has few ideas and even less enthusiasm. Perhaps this will change in a week, but this one knows what features and modifications they want, and that doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would fit in what this one imagines to be the dev team’s concept of “Hero”.

Well, good point: This might change in a week, LostBrythunian. :sweat_smile: Hopefully we’ll all know more by next Thursday at the latest.

Personally, I admit that I am actually full of positive expectations. Maybe we will see each other again in the Twitch chat. :wave: I’m now saying goodbye to the forum for a few days - with that in mind: May the gods be with you!
