Update 6 to Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures wil have to tide you over ātil the expansion, Rise of the Godslayer, comes out next year. Luckily, theyāve got Conanās number one nemesis to do the job.
In addition to a Guild Renown leveling system for guilds, inc Gamers reveals that Update 6 will introduce Thoth-Amonās stronghold as Tier three raid content. The big bad guy himself lies at the center of the dungeon surrounded by his allies ā many of whom most players havenāt seen before.
āAs far as the encounters go we donāt really want to give away too much. But who knows: perhaps someone will have to pay the ultimate price, having the Mark of Acheron reapplied, and maybe washing up on a beach near Tortage, again? Ok, so maybe we wonāt do that. We do hope the encounters will prove a fun and interesting challenge for everybody. Iād dare say the foundation weāre building our raid encounters on has improved radically since Wing 3 was released, and I think that will be reflected in the encounters.ā
Update 6 also lets you fight along side Conan himself in a plot-related quest that ties up a major story arc. But details on that are more closely guarded than the secrets of Thoth-Amonās stronghold.
The only thing Iād like better than that is a Thulsa Doom dungeon modeled after the one in the film, Conan the Barbarian. I know, I know ā Thulsa Doom is a Krull baddie by canon, not a Conan villain. But James Earl Jones was awesome in that movie and the snake orgy scene would be a great player versus player environment.
