<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/funcom">Funcom</a> has been planning <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> Patch 1.0.6 for a while now, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/30/january-age-of-conan-director-letter-details-the-road-ahead/">recently gave us a look</a> into what they have planned for this patch and beyond.<br />
<br />
The patch went live today, and the full patch notes were presented with links to full explanations of each major new feature, as well as the Thoth-Amon's Stronghold, the new Tier Three raid instance. The much-discussed Guild Renown system was added with this patch, as was the Assassin revamp, raid loot token system, and changes to the crowd control system.<br />
<br />
Quite a few smaller changes and bug fixes were added, and most classes received a few changes. The <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/age-of-conan"><em>Age of Conan</em></a> team took a look at PvP as well, making a few minor changes to mechanics, particularly in minigames.<br />
<br />
The patch notes can be seen <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=212383">on the official forums</a>, and be sure to take a look at the links included in the notes for further explanation.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/02/04/age-of-conan-releases-1-06-patch-notes/">Age of Conan releases 1.06 patch notes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:00:00 EST.

All those <em><a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com">Warhammer Online</a></em> players who where playing along with the Heavy Metal event in November will be happy to know that today <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=477">the fruits of their labor has arrived</a>. That's right: Today, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Mythic/">Mythic</a> brings us Black Guards and Knights of the Blazing Sun! For those who didn't finish <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/heavy-metal/">the full Heavy Metal event</a>, don't worry, the classes will become available to everyone next week. Servers are going down at 3:30AM PST / 6:30AM EST for North American players with Oceanic servers following at 9:00AM EST. No specific time-frame was given for the updating process, so we'll just have to sit tight and wait it out.<br /><br />New classes aren't the only thing found in this patch, however. There's a ton of general game updates, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/27/warhammer-online-rvr-performance-and-stability-improvements-fort/">performance updates</a>, bug fixes and class tweaks coming with the 1.0.6 patch, too. In fact, there are so many class tweaks that Bright Wizards, Chosen, Engineers, Ironbreakers, Maguses (Magi?), Shadow Warriors, Sorcerers, Squig Herders and Swordmasters are all getting their mastery points refunded. Combat also seems to be a big focus, with a ton of improvements to auto-attack animations, ability responsiveness, morale responsiveness and root responsiveness.<br /><br />All in all, we're pretty impressed with Mythic on this patch, as it delivers some substantial changes that many players have been waiting to see.<hr />
