Update Notes for Update 2.06
Age of Conan : Unrated
**These notes do not necessarily reflect the final version that will be deployed on Live**
Here is a brief overview of some of the exciting things in this update!
New Dungeons
* The Forgotten City - level 40-80 solo dungeon
* The Breach - level 40-80 solo dungeon
These can be found north in Gateway to Khitai. See waypoints on the map. You can obtain quests for these new areas from NPCs in Gateway to Khitai. See Akana and Jiuling for Forgotten City quests, and speak to Menudsjin to obtain quests for The Breach.
Khitai dungeon balancing
We have reworked the normal modes of the Khitai dungeons to offer a more balanced option and hopefully make them more interesting and rewarding for people to attempt. The earlier instances have also been made more accessible for those arriving in Khitai for the first time, and will not require any AA investment to be worthwhile options.
Vanity Armor
This update includes the new vanity armor tab, which allows players to wear items for vanity / social purposes over their stat granting armor. The equipment window is now split between "Power" and "Vanity" items. Currently you use any item you meet the requirement for as vanity armor.
Free-to-Play Hybrid
This version contains the new free-to-play hybrid changes. All players on Testlive will be considered Premium Players. What is most important for us to get feedback on:
* You should not be restricted in any way as a premium player.
The new Item Shop is also included in this build, but it is not yet open for use. The button to access the shop is next to the inventory button in the standard UI. You can also press the comma key (,) to open the shop. The shop will be open next week for you to browse the goodies.
See : Free and Premium Content Overview for more information.
Blood and Glory PVP server
Detailed information will be posted soon. This server will be available on Testlive soon!
PvP
* When you kill someone in PvP that is worth PvP xp, your target now has a chance of generating loot.
* Added a new option for team vs team mini-game matches through a new queue option. This queue is designed to let organized teams pit their wits against other organized teams for bragging rights.
MASSIVE PVP
* Existing Battlekeep rewards have been redesigned. The complete list of new rewards are: Health, Natural Regens for Mana and Stamina, CC Resistances, and PvP XP modifier.
KNOWN ISSUES
* Dx10 – if you change resolution your client will crash.
* The Alternate Advancement, Faction, and Guild Management windows may sometimes become unresponsive. Right clicking the window fixes this issue.
GENERAL
* Significantly reduced Vendor Gold prices for all Epic faction related items in Khitai, including Pets and Mounts.
* Pet : Kitten and Pet : Puppy Companions are now designated as Rare loot, instead of Mundane.
* Corrected many instances of armor appearing with black textures, or causing parts of your character to become transparent.
* Boosted the drop chance of Epic items in Districts Hardmodes.
* Tweaked overall shield placement on the backs of male and female characters to reduce clipping issues.
* Some movement/idle-animations for male and female characters tweaked to reduce shield-clipping issues. Additional fixes for individual animations and/or shields models to come.
* Cavern of Malice, Enigmata of Yag, Pillars of Heaven, and Celestial Necropolis have had lobbys added.
* Ai District now has a map.
* Some Khitan merchants will now sell books to teach you new ranks of spells or combos for Rare Trophies.
* You are no longer required to finish the quest Xibaluku to gain access to the Xibaluku instance.
* You are no longer required to finish the quest The Immortal Hand to gain access to Thoth-Amon's Stronghold.
* Nectargold is now a stamina consumable as originally intended.
ANIMATION
* Fixed a bug that caused male characters jogging backwards in combat mode and with no weapons equipped to slide across the ground.
CLASSES
Necromancer
* The Frozen Hatred spell will no longer be removed by Overwhelming Shout.
* The Frozen Hatred spell will no longer get removed when you do a feat reset.
COMBAT
* Procs should no longer affect friendly/hostile targets if the spell is not intended to hit these types of targets.
FACTION
* Jiang Shi quest "Wonders of the Wasteland" now gives slightly more faction reward as intended.
* Spreading Strife/Discontent: Yi of the Scarlet Circle demands that you help her with "Legions on the Loose" before you are allowed to spread strife and discontent on her behalf.
* Shadows of Jade, quest Leading the Way: Xiao-mei is less likely to despawn when you want to take her to Jhongshun. Setting her free will now yield less faction points than taking her to captivity.
GUI
* The AA Window should have working icons again, and text should no longer read "undefined".
* The fall damage reduction stat should now display percentages correctly.
* The error message when attempting to unbind an items that are currently equipped is now localized.
* There is a new Playfield Access ui, accessible via the new button on the top left of your gui. This button will allow free players to reach several locations that they have access to. This option has a cooldown once used. In addition, teleport scrolls for additional locations will be purchasable from the item shop.
PVP
Minigames
* Adjusted the values of the objectives slightly. Lowered the value of the Shrine of Jhebbal slightly, while buffing the value of the rest of the objectives. This should speed up the minigame slightly.
TESTLIVE ONLY
* Guild city decorations should now function correctly again.
Most Significant
