Age of Conan

PC Gamer offers exclusive AoC item

In the July issue of PC Gamer you can get an exclusive Age of Conan item that teleport you back to your home city every 24 hour.

What's your thoughts on Funcom giving out items like this? I will get myself a copy of the July issue, that's for sure, but, do you think it's a good thing to put nice and useful items like these to only be obtainable by buying a magazine? Hmm..

    I never seen the game or played it. Does that mean you normally have to do more intensive walking than in World of Warcraft unless you buy this magazine?

    This seals the deal for me that AoC is an immature product produced and managed by a company that have a short-term view on their product. This would be the equivalent to WoW's Hearthstone and to give something like this out through a gddamn magazine code is just plain out laughable and a slap in the face of all paying customers.

    Time to hit delete on this game for me.

    Pathetic.

    HAHAHAHAHA, idiot.

    To have Frost/Flame Tabard, mount and other in Game items. You Must spend a lot of real money buying Cards to have the Codics.

    To participate in the tormenments you must pay about 20 euros?

    Haha, know your facts before judging.

    This is hardly a stability-effecting item. Quite useful for those willing to buy it, yes, but there is already a half-hour hearthstone-equivalent in Path of Asura--which everyone knows upon creating a character. All this offers is letting you set your Path to the zone you're in instead of your home city for a quick way back to town, which is also only necessary if you need to get to the bank/AH/mail NPC's.

    To put it short, if you were planning on buying the magazine anyway, it's a nice little bonus. If not, it's not something that you'll miss while not spending a few bucks on a magazine you won't read.

    I dont mind such marketing tricks as long as they carefully plan what they offer through other channels.

    It is a smart teaser which wont affect player skill. It will make some ppls lifes easier in terms of time.

    I wouldnt buy PC Gamer to get this. But i also dont care if other ppl shall have this treasure of imbaness ^^

    lol the game already has a hearthstone like thing but probably you are too ignorant or too obsesed with wow to know.

    Guys, it's something called Path of Asura. This is in fact EXCACTLY the same as a heartstone in WoW, so this only gives you a SECOND heartstone-like thing, which has a longer cooldown and can only take you to your homeland.

    This is nothing uber, it will just make you able to teleport to 2 different places (Since you already got the path of Asura)

    Silfver: Maybe you should play the game, before commenting. Because clearly you haven't played it, since you dind't even know you had the path of Asura...

    Silfver your an idiot! First you cannot delete what you do not have. Second a second port is a very nice touch and great public relations. A very very nice touch.

    Got my copy today.

    The description on the code state:
    Khemi for Stygian, Old Tarantia for Aquilonian, and Old Conarch for Cimerian.

    While once every 24h, it's a nice to have, not imbalancing the game.
