Discussion Thread: Age of Heroes

Let us see if we can refrain from trying to reinvent the wheel and fixing what is not broken in this age. And instead place focus rectifying some of the enduring issues, and reverting unpopular changes which detract from enjoyment of the game. That said, I am looking forward to seeing what they will be unveiling for the new Age. Hopefully some more Crom items.

For CROM!! :mountain_snow: :metal:

I think it will be very bad update - making crafter thralls active followers and recruitable through tavern, which means they will take precious spot in clan limit.

Titan Comics has had the license for Conan since 2022. Marvel dropped Conan in 2021

Age of Roblox

What if Age of Heroes means we get to summon npc “heroes” like Conan/Valeria in a dungeon, like Dark Souls style? and maybe we have to unlock them first

Age of bundles :rofl:

Age of Heroes? No capes!

Oh definitely capes…and Spandex.

And chaps and codpieces…

Wouldn’t that be nice?

Exactly.

Remember a month+ ago when they promised a better job at communications?

Well heres my old post…

2mo ago

""That spike was Age of Sorcery… best times of CE

AoW feels more meh… like devs couldn’t come up with smth major and cool (lack of budget, time, manpower, ideas?)

Chapter 4 proved this, it was the small effort way to fill the game for another 3 ± month (6 month?) without actually making new major content update…

So here is the formula…

IF next Age gonna be smth real and big (comparable with AoS, we need complete overhaul, ideally, of religion (last part of the game still untouched)) - the game has a chance

vs

IF we gonna get another update + changes and additions no1 wants - we can safely say sadly the game is on maintenance mode""

I really want AoH be good, but i still I can’t imagine what global can they offer in the terms of new mechanics, content and changes? To save the game from its downfall.
That update should be really smth, really big and game changing. IMHO.

Age of What the Hell is Even That!

Age of Heroes:

In Tower of the Elephant, Conan is about 15.

In Hour of the Dragon, Conan is in his mid-40s.

In Howard’s stories, the hero ages. (Yes, the first published story is chronologically one of the last ones, but you know what I mean. and I guess one can question whether Conan can be called a “hero” at all.)

yah, heroism is certainly open to interpretation and can mean different things to people. i just looked up the world on wikipedia and i like this:
" A hero (feminine: heroine) is a real person or a main fictional character who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, or strength. The original hero type of classical epics did such things for the sake of glory and honor. "
a hero doesnt have to be save the world or be ‘the good guy.’ a hero can be someone whose exploits and deeds are worthy of song and praise in the mead hall. speaking of songs, the icon for the musician thrall has been in the devkit for years, and gone unused. could be that we will be able to hire a bard through the tavern to sing generic songs of a hero who has done great deeds in the exiled lands, and we assume they are singing about us. obviously funcom isnt going to customize the songs for an individual player character.
someone else suggested we could hire conan or valeria, i hope that’s not the case. the player needs to be the hero.

guys, make sure you bring those important topics on their stream, i believe we need answers. and if there is something else you want to ask, that you feel is important and not in the list, i could add more items.

Personally, I’m going to be watching the stream to see the new content they’re adding. Fixes should be an unstated expectation; they won’t waste a dev stream showing fixes, that’s just terrible marketing.

I think they will ignore all the important questions about game breaking stuff… as usual.

But hey! Buy this overpriced toilet paper with CC printed on them, and feel like a real hero when taking a dump on the new broken porcelain throne !!! :poop::crazy_face::joy:

if we keep asking,m people will notice they are ignoring it, and that alone is a response to it. there is too many people stressed with funcom latest actions or should i say the lack of.

if i were them i would have done a stream early next week to handle the current issue, because there is no way they will be able to get away with just promoting the new age with how things are right now.
