AOC-Craig Morrison's latest AoC letter talks about guild functions in Update
Posted by topmmolivegold topmmolivegold on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
As September is arriving to a near, Age of Conan's action director Todd Morrison has weighed in with his letter to the team for the 1 month. The greatest conversation factor now is a new 'Guild Renown' system that will be presented with the next important material spot, Update 6. This system will allow associates of a guild to contribute to its reputation on two individual machines. A guild's Famous Level will be improved by associates generating Valor factors (from PvE actions like questing and eliminating NPCs), Wonder factors (PvP) and Artist factors (crafting). Greater Famous Levels will mean entry to better guild city providers and other additional bonuses -- even a product new developing type that Morrison does not elaborate on in this letter.
The other range that guilds will be calculated on is their Famous Ranking. Famous Positions compare guilds to each other in a competitive manner. Basically, they display which guilds are generating the most Valor, Wonder and Artist factors over a interval of time; currently the technique is to totally recast the rankings weekly, but it may change. To make sure that smaller guilds have a chance, only the top 'X' members from each guild will depend towards the Famous Positions -- the extensive range of members hasn't been nailed down yet. The advantages for having the best Famous Positions will include mainly of aesthetic boasting privileges, like a Gold, Gold or brown marking on a guild tag.
Morrison also used the letter to thank those who took up AoC's latest re-evaluation offer and to crack the information that veteran advantages are arriving a while soon. Special providers will offer Funcom's most loyal customers entry to factors like public position items and encounter items. His next characters will go into a bit of details about some other Update 6 material, like new zones (Thoth-Amon's Stronghold and House of Crom) and new Tower-based PvP objectives in the Border Kingdoms.
