Megalith and Renown 10

Last night we reached renown level 10!

Thanks to everyone who donated, spent time gathering renown, and of course thanks to everyone for showing up for the building of the megalith!

Everyone in the guild is great and I know I personally am proud to be part of such a great guild. We have been advancing as a guild, and still retain our (insane) but friendly mood.

I encourage all of the newer members to check out the guild city. There are a LOT of things added to the city now with our guild renown. Currently only 3 or 4 guilds on the whole server have access to all the stuff we do.
Social Pets, Guild city quests, Unique mounts, Social clothes, and special potions are just a few of these.

Again thanks to everyone in the guild for helping make Ravens the most fun guild ever!

Ahazu Zagam Down

Tonight we downed Ahazu, AND Incubus/Succubus. I would like to thank everyone for sticking it out over the past month or two. It can be difficult learning a boss. The end result was worth it however.

Everyone did an awesome job, and we hope to be killing this boss more in the very near future!

As always, we had fun, and kicked ass. Thank you Ravens!

Guild Renown

Congrats! Our guild came in 4th overall on guild renown for the ENTIRE server!

Thanks to everyone who helped out!

In addition, we had a lot of people donate a LOT of mats. We now have Tier 3 guid city gates, as well as a couple of armored raven statues outside the main city gates!
Stop by and check them out!

Community Update, December 11, 2009

The first iteration of Update 1.06 has arrived on the Testlive servers yesterday for you to check out and test. The Guild Renown System, new Tier 3 Raid instance and a new Raid Loot Token System are the main additions but there are many other tweaks and improvements to check out too. You find an overview including links to more detailled articles about the main new features on the forums here.

Beginning of this week, we held an exclusive live presentation of the 'Rise of the Godslayer' expansion on XFire. If you missed it, you can check out the video of the complete demo which is available on XFire.

There were also numerous articles and interviews published on various websites this week covering both information about Update 1.06 as well as impressions of the Rise of the Godslayer presentation:

Update 1.05.7.4 which was deployed this week to the live servers fixed some of the latency issues many of you have been experiencing. We are however aware that some are still having these issues. Our technicians are hard at work to find a solution for this and we expect to have another maintenance downtime next week. As always, we will announce it as soon as we have all the details ready.

And 'fresh from the press' so to speak: there is an exclusive "Rise of the Godslayer" Developer Diary video available on Incgamer today. In this video Communications Director Erling Ellingsen, Game Director Craig Morrison and Lead Designer Joel Bylos talk about the "Rise of the Godslayer" expansion. You can find the video on Incgamers.com.

Update 1.06 Overview ON TESTLIVE NOW

::: TWO ADDITIONAL ARTICLES ARE POSTED BELOW THIS - SEE THE AOC FORUMS FOR THE ORIGINAL THREADS :::

Update 1.06 Overview

The first iteration of Update 1.06 is now available on the Testlive servers for our players to check out and test. You will find instructions here on how to access the Testlive servers and the separate Testlive forums where you can discuss the update and give your input.

Together with various changes and improvements, Update 1.06 also introduces new features and content to Age of Conan. The following overview highlights the most important ones and also includes links to articles which describe them in a bit more detail:

Guild Renown

Guild Renown is a new leveling and reward system for guilds in Age of Conan. Members of guilds can experience their epic adventures as they normally do today while contributing to their guild’s Renown simply by playing the game. There are three types of Renown; Valor (PvE), Glory (PvP), and Artistry (Crafting), which broadly describe three different play styles. As players progress in game, they will be able to progress their Guild Renown for the entire guild and unlock awesome rewards to be shared with each member of their guild. Guild Renown has a maximum of 20 levels to be achieved by the entire guild.

Every week, Age of Conan will rank the top-earning guilds, not only in total points earned (of any kind), but also in the total Valor, Glory, and Artistry earned for that week.

This article here provides further details about the rankings and rewards for each of the 20 Guild Renown levels.

New Tier 3 Raid Instance: "Toth-Amon's Stronghold"

Thoth-Amon’s Stronghold is our new Tier 3 raid instance. It has seven boss encounters, including Thoth-Amon himself. In addition players will encounter some of Thoth-Amon’s most powerful allies, both new ones and some they might have met, or at least heard of, before - like Hathor-Ka.

Toth-Amon's Stronghold can be accessed by talking to the Raidmaster to get attuned for Tier 3 and afterwards entering Toth-Amon’s castle located in the city of Kheshatta.

Read this article to learn more about this new raid instance.

Raid Loot Token System

Update 1.06 also adds something the players have been requesting for a long time – a token system for raid loot. The token system is added to Tier 1 and Tier 2 as well as Tier 3 raids. Hopefully this will help alleviate some of the randomness (or perceived lack thereof) in the loot drops.
