Floralis a Gaudium should be server KoS as they spawn camp the pads not only the people that are on their KoS list but also no guilded people. Killing people is one thing, getting level 70’s and killing level 50s when they are on 2%hp over and over is just wrong.

Ciel and Yori are just to name a few

 
Please provide proof of such deeds. Any killing of members not on our KOS list is dealt with harshly.
 
These people aren’t griefers, they were crusading through the snowy mountains place last night (don’t remember the name, eiglophean somthing) killing 71 Murder Herd that were trying to gank lowbies. One of the gankers was called “Jester” which tried to kill a few us of in the settlement of Dinog, he was a Guardian though so he couldn’t kill much.

These guys aren’t griefers, post some proof of someone actually ganking outside of white sands, and not you ganking and camping them. If you do have proof though, I’m sure that if you contacted the guild leader with proof of these people ganking and spawn camping, they would be dealt with accordingly.

 
Jester? … *laughs* … I’d suggest you get a bit closer to hear the /say next time. 1. Jester is RP; 2. Jester can’t kill a wet noodle; 3. if Jester was in a lowbie* area, they were running an extortion … *cough* … er um … “protection” racket on the merchants/PC’s in the area

I don’t often get a chance to play with Jester since he’s on Brit time and I’m not, but he’s very prone to the above actions and very opposed to what you accuse him of.

* lowbie as defined as substantially lower than the person in question.

 
I wish this was WoW is a rival guild full of scum and villainy. We hunted them down like the dogs they are and drove them off the server, much like we will do with the rest of the guilds on our KOS list.
 
I was in the E.Mountains to help a fellow herder get so leather for there crafting, I didn’t attack anybody lower level than me while there except one caster who was ganking someone near me. You have any proof of me griefing anyone who didn’t deserve it please post it up. Only time attack people gray to me is if there guild has done it to me in the past, Oh and learn your classes muppet I am a dark templar.

As for those 2 FaG’s they were spawn camping everyone on the res pads, never mind what level they were, everyone knows they spawn camp and grief low levels more than any other guild on the server, which is an amazing feat with such a small guild. I do hava a fraps of these 2 res pad camping in the E.Mountains, I’ll up load it to you tube and post it in a bit.

 
 
It’s been a topic for awhile. Guilds on every server including Derketo reset raid instances to farm certain bosses on a regular basis. I know it’s happening but what’s your opinion on this as a person or member and what’s the rule for your guild?

Deephallow Brewers has specific policies in place for well over a year now that do not condone this type behavior. You will be given a warning depending on severity and summarily dismissed from our guild. Personally I login to and play to have fun and enjoy myself and part of that is making sure members enjoy themselves. We are a community of individuals brought together to enjoy the games we play with each other’s company. Why do we take this stance? It’s simple picture yourself with a shiny new game and a cheat code for god mode. You use this cheat code the first time you play. Where is the fun at? Is it morally wrong? Some can argue it is and I don’t care if other guilds do it I won’t since it’s my dime not theirs.

Who should be Conan in the next movie?

Yes, one is being planned now. Arnold is almost certainly too old unless they’re going to pump him full of roids and use a LOT of CGI on him.

So who would make a GOOD conan?

The Rock? Thomas Jane? Karl Urban? Jason Statham?

(All of the above massively bulked up of course)

Kevin Sorbo?
I mean, he’s like the only real big muscular guy, who has experience playing that kind of ass kicking role.
I’d have to agree. I’d rather see someone who resembles and portrays the character as close to the Robert E. Howard books very well, than a big name star who doesn’t even approximate the description in the books.
The Rock did the Scorpion King, which was a far better performance than Sorbo in Kull. Plus, Sorbo’s way past his prime, no? Dwayne Johnson is still the only person that I think could pull it off. He’s actually got wit and screen presence, too
Of the above….. Karl is the closest, Thomas J is an awesome, but Conan…. no way. Conan was a brawler not a Jackie Chan… for that I pick TJ, but the physique of Conan is unmistakable… Karl doesnt have it…. The Rock… who is smoking that crack pipe??? And Sorbo…rotflmao !!!!

Remember the young fella who played Colossus in X-Men ? I would pick him Daniel Cudmore. Yoy can teach him the attitude I am sure.

Many of the later Conan writers have hinted that Conan is the reincarnation of Kull, so that would actually make Kevin Sorbo a better, not worse, fit for the role.

Certainly in a literary sense it’s true, the original Conan story was an unpublished Kull story rewritten for a new era.

Don’t care what people say Dwayne Johnson is a good actor. Go watch Southland Tales. Awesome flick.

He’d make an awesome Conan but said he never would because he’s already played a barbarian type of character.

Voice Acting Missing

I made an alt recently, and as I was working my way through Tortage, I noticed something different.

I was hearing no voices! Upon further investigation I found that the NPCs were in fact speaking, but that the voices were SO faint and muffled (it sounded as if they were speaking from 4-5 rooms over) that upon first hearing you’d assume they were making no noise. In noisy areas you cannot hear them at all, their faint voices are completely lost.

In addition to the NPCs voices, during character creation when you select your voice I am having the same problem. Is this a well known problem? My sound and video drivers are completely up to date.

 
I am having the same problem, not sure about voices in background, sometimes hear muffled garble.
 
Check the ingame settings - make sure the audio reflects your actual speaker arrangement AND ALSO check the windows setting in the control panel (two places)

The most common cause of this is that you’ve been set to surround without having surround sound, so the audio (which usually goes to a center speaker) is going nowhere.

 
have you updated your soundcard drivers recently?
 
 

looking for a bank mod

I’m trying to find a bank mod that will basically create a text file of all of the items in my inventory, bank, guild bank.
currently I’m running 5 bank alts for the guild because the guild bank size is, for lack of a better word, insufficient. It would be nice if there was a mod around that will compile all of said items into a text file that I could upload onto the guild website. Its just becoming tedious each day going through 80-100 new items and updating stack sizes of various resources using pen-paper and transferring it manually heh
thanks in advance
Melech
 
o if anyone has the technical knowhow to create such a mod, one would be MUCH appreciated =)

also… this is nothing more than a shameless bump in hopes that someone who can help me will find this heh

 
I know this is not what you are asking for, but a spreadsheet vs pan and paper might help a little bit
 
I could be mistaken, but I don’t think the mod community has the info from funcom to be able to do this yet.

As it stands, they’re pretty much limited to moving things around in the hud and changing graphics.

 
 

ill agree to Dye IF and ONLY IF the colour theme is fitting to the lore. make it so alchemist can mix up some wolf blood to create some semi-permanent blood red dye… or mix up some plants to make dark green dye…. or something else to make black… or even yellowish….

…but dont get started on blue, or violet, or orange, or worse… pink…

 

YES TO DYES! Personally I think it also makes it easier to pick people out in pvp, except of course when everyone is wearing black dye…
Yes, Dyes please!! So many recent games don’t have dyes and it really limits the customization of a toon.
It would not surprise me in the least.
Yes for dyes, a believe it would help a lot with making the game more versatile as far as character appearance and identity.
For everyone who made post somewhat in this vein.

A lot of the endgame sets already ARE pink, violet and blue.

Edit: if devs can do it, hooray but I think it’ll be too much work

1. Dyes. Color tints on the textures of any kind of craftable armor, would definitely be something that puts AoC ahead of MMO’s that don’t allow unique customization, such as WoW.

2. Let the Armorsmith pick the 3d model of armor. Example: Let’s say I’m crafting a L70 Waxed Leather Tunic. The first option is that crappy brown potato sack we all know and hate. Second option is a cooler version with a fur hanging around the collar. Third option is sleeveless and torn, like ragged barbaric leather. And so on, but have these extra aesthetic options cost yet another rare material (Grained Leather, Aurichalcum, etc.) This would make armor much more diverse, and people would request the appearance they like most from their Armorsmith of choice, adding a rare and valued commodity to the economy.

3. Perhaps also grant stat options. Not everybody wants +max health on their armor, perhaps some casters want +max mana on their Light Armor instead, and etc. Again, offer customization with an increased material price. More timesink = more money for Funcom, but also equals more customization and happiness for players. So do it.

PvP guild of DOOMâ„¢

That’s right! YOU have the opportunity to join one of the most awesomestâ„¢ guilds not only on Doomsayer, but the entire universe! Sick of the slavedrivers in other guilds?

We’ve won regional*, national*, global*, and even galactic* championships* in everything from Britney’s Dance Beat* to Myst* to Team Fortress 2! Plus, we have a cooler flash intro.

We run the gamut of different people, with a star cast that includes students, parents, musicians (we have our very own guld song!) and all-around cool people.

These are some of our vital stats:

Requirements:
- Must be chill
- Must have a sense of humor
- We do not like drama. No douchebags, high-strung, or otherwise annoying people.

Q: What kind of crafting is available in Age of Conan?
A:
Everything you would expect! There are weaponsmiths who make weapons; armorsmiths who make armor; gemcutters who make gems to enhance equipment; alchemists who make all sorts of consumables; and architects who make buildings and siege engines (like catapults).

Q: How do you craft?

You can craft anywhere, as long as you have the correct resources.

There are six tiers of crafting. To reach the next tier, you must perform a series of crafting-related quests provided by a NPC master crafter.
 
Q: Is crafted equipment better than other items found in the world?
A:
No better, no worse, but different. The crafted items are unique in the way that you can insert gems to increase and customize their stats. You cannot do that with other items.
