Week One: A Quest of Clarity
Cody Hargreaves
Age of Conan’s Rise of the Godslayer expansion has opened the floodgates for a healthy amount discussion in the few short weeks since its release on May 11th. You see, in short, it’s harder. Much harder—actually—than we level 80 players were expecting, as it introduced with it a number of new concepts and features that we’d never really seen before. To start, the level cap of 80 remained the same, forcing players to discover a new form of advancement; a new world, Khitai, was added, and brought with it 5 new play fields, 13 new dungeons including a Tier 4 Raid Instance; and 12 convoluted factions were added, some opposed and some allied, and all offering new upgrades and equipment tailored specifically to individual classes and playstyles.
Chief Product Officer at Funcom Scott Junior speaks on the task of bringing Dune Awakening - a stunning and technically advanced game - over to weaker hardware.
Not surprised that gimped console is holding back multiplatform releases this late in the generation. It was bad enough earlier on before the engines became more demanding and capable. That parity clause is bonkers at this point.
and another speaks about the S being a challenge.
cant blame sony for this, but im sure some will twist it that way ha.
