AC Turbine Weekly Update 1/22/07 : AC News

Hi there and welcome to the January 22nd edition of the weekly update!

Crowley has finally returned to us today, after his trip to the west coast. He reports that things were fun and he enjoyed the chance to meet with folks at the AC dinner. From all reports the dinner was a success and fun was had by all. Thanks to everyone who attended and those who set things up. Next time it will hopefully be our turn to get things set up. We are hopeful to have more information about another ACPL in the coming weeks.


Over the past week with Crowley out, there were not a lot of decisions made about what was going into the game. We had a few discussions about the direction we should go with the next story arc. A big part of those talks were based directly off feedback we got from folks here on the forums and in the game.


Please remember that the scheduled Live Ops begin this week. Make sure you are ready for it when it is time for your server. You can view the full schedule here. Just as a friendly reminder, here are some tips to help your live event experience go smoother.

1. Make sure if you have any question about what your PC can handle, turn down your graphics ahead of time. This will save you the hassle of doing it in the middle of the event due to performance issues.

2. Some sound cards can draw from system resources. If you are one of the people who runs the game on a lower end machine, turning off the sounds of the game can sometimes help increase overall performance.

3. No matter what level you are please feel free to participate in the event. If you do not know where to go when the event starts, do not be afraid to ask for directions in general chat. The chat is there for a reason.

4. The person or persons running the events will be in character while the event is going on. That means they will not be answering your question about the variances on weapon damage. If you want to ask them about something related to the event, please feel free.

5. It is recommended that you do not send tells to the person running the Live event. They may get the message, but you have a better chance of getting an answer if you ask in local chat.


Last but not least we are happy to let you know that we have some new pets coming soon. Players have been asking for some time now, for pets to be more useful. So coming soon will be some craft buffing pets. These pets will be able to give you temporary buffs to your crafting skill while out. As of right now these pets will buff only one skill per pet and they will buff the four basic crafting skills of Alchemy, Cooking, Fletching, and Lockpick.

We will of course have more information about these pets as we get closer to their release in to the world. Right now we are aiming for them to be a part of the February event, but as always this can change.


That’s about it for now. Everyone have a great week and see you all in Dereth!
