Age of Conan wants to learn from WoW bosses
September 3rd, 2008 |
Leipzig GC is over, and it’s time to look back at some of the information we got from Funcom about the development of Age of Conan.
More interesting bosses
One of the things Erling Ellingson said, was that Age of Conan will be borrowing and learning from World of Warcraft boss encounters. So far bosses have been quite static, and the differences between the bosses had been animations, looks and hitpoints. Bosses in World of Warcraft have always been challenging for a different reason, they require tactics. Hopefully AoC will incorporate more challenging bosses, allowing us a more interesting end-game.
DirectX 10 Screenshots
Over at TenTonHammer you can see screenshots from the new DirectX 10 build for Age of Conan. I have to agree with one of the commenters that better graphics should not be the primary focus of Funcom, but I guess this has been in the work chain for a long time. You see the screenshots here.
Age of Conan PvP Patch
The PvP patch for Age of Conan is one again delayed, and is now planned for release on September 10. You can however check it out on the testlive server. From what we have found, there will only be one tier of PvP equipment at the launch, available from PvP level 2.
