Open content for Pandemonium:
We spoke a long, long time ago about adding more open challenging content to Pandemonium. We are working on (actually making...right now) a new "Open" boss experience for the area for larger groups to tackle.
all u have done is to make the game easier and easier u dont need a raid for pande anymore u just need 5 chars and u can do it all easy and fast
and that goes for all stuff in game, u less teamates u have u bettre it is and faster u can do it .
u doing a grate job making a game that was made to need alot of players to do stuff being a game that u should do stuff solo and use exploits as much as u can grate job funcom
The game is 10 years old. If they want to keep the players excited about new stuff coming out, new gear and nanos have to be more ubar than the old ones, because if they weren't, people would complain that the new stuff is nerf. Similarly, new raids and encounters have to be harder than the old ones to keep them challenging. In the meantime, old content like Pande somewhat lose their shine, since it becomes easier to do with all the new stuff, so smaller groups can do the raid - in fact, this is part of the reason for instancing Pande in the first place. I'm expecting the new open content to be targeted at larger groups (ie. harder than the old one).
Btw. Great post, Means! Looks like the MP doc won't be the last after all :P I'm excited for the new shinies, and it's good to hear that all the Great Things To Come (startup/engine/rebalance) are making progress.

if vhab makes the that character selection possible i'll love him forever
now if only my client would stop freezing for 20-30 seconds everytime i log into the game... maybe it wouldnt be so exasperating :P

yes the game are 10 years old and they have made some things bettre but all new stuff like dustbrigade quest and dungeans and xan they have put in the game have been a real fail ,they was hard at first but now its just silly .
they say that it will be hard to do them but its so dam easy to do them and its easy to get stuff BUT the mobs and stuff dont get same update as hte characters do .
and i think that the new boss they work on in pande will be easy like hell to there arent any challange left in this game
when will they update the rest of the game , like all mobs and evrything else
That's part of the whole reason for the balance work. To make the game more challenging and enjoyable all around.

The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

That Dreamworld patch to AoC drove 1/2 my org over there from comfortable playing capability to nearly back to the stoneage - this with PC's sporting hardware that came onto the market in 2009 and 2010. If the engine arrived in it's current form to AO, we'd have to have a lot of our ppl run their 2010 rigs on the old client to play at all. Sil mentioned a patch next week, then another in a couple of months to address graphics issues. They have a lot of work to do.

Not even I shall troll you today!
Now, one of the reasons we’ve spent the last month arguing about the debt ceiling is that half of the "teabag" Congress signed a vow to never raise taxes. Someone just handed them something and it wasn’t a gun, a crucifix or a fetus — so they signed it. Why? "Because we’re rugged individuals who love freedom. Now excuse us while we sign this document swearing to do as we’re told." --Bill Maher
Well I tried to go about my weekend sans trolling satisfaction but a commitment is a commitment! So digging deep within the nether regions of my troll bag I managed to produce the following admittedly feeble yet well penned barb:
First of all, if you are linking to images that mutate form (i.e. mouse-over, gif, etc) please do us the courtesy of informing us that you are using devil-infused voodoo encrusted magic images. At first glance I was amazingly underwhelmed and branded the new work as so much garbage. Then magic time, the image changes and to my horror I found myself forming the words "this looks pretty nice".
So I can carry on now, knowing that I found something, however minuscule, to bitch about. So close to a flawless victory FC! Better luck next week.
