The wind of change

Age of Conan is in a tough spot right now. On one hand there are sooooooooooo many good things on the horizon, but on another hand veterans are currently starving for any content and I am not only talking about PVP. Obviously I am posting less assassin related news and guides because I think I have covered most details about this class. Worry not, however, I still have a few guides lined up. The blog itself, I think, reflects the current state of the game: I am stretching to post something, anything to keep you reading. Or perhaps I am trying too hard and ultimately posting things that most of you are not interested in? I have decided to gather up all my "episodic" posts in one place to ask you which things are you really interested in seeing more on Assassin's Hideout:

  1. Slith's cheesy exploration guide (tag: exploration) - interesting places in Hyboria that were not ment to be explored.
  2. The workbench (tag: crafting) - my progression and experience with crafting (when the revamp comes)
  3. [Guides] (tag: guides) - guides on all things assassin and things that can help to develop your character
  4. Dagger and a bowl of rice (tag: PVE) - my progression in Khitai (the episodes are finished but can be resumed)
  5. Assassin's Hideout Podcast (tag: podcast) - podcast about AOC done in my car on a way to work.
  6. PvP (tag: PvP) - my experiences and progression in PvP
  7. PvE (tag: PvE) - reviews and experiences on new PVE content.
  8. Rants (tag: rants) - me going bat-shit insane on things sorta Age of Conan related (aka nerd rage)
  9. Lorewhore (tag: lore) - bringing you interesting bits of Conan lore with quotes from REH's books.
Please let me know in the comments what makes you come back to Assassin's Hideout and what makes you lose interest in it.

Thank you!

hi Slith...
i am a new player here in conan (from summer '11) and i have an assassin. i found ur post very interesting for me. even i dont play pvp ( i done it only 6 times and i didnt try again cause i pushed my self in pve), i read all ur achievments. ur guides are like the "Bible". i was reading many other blogs for sins, but i realize that during time, many of them stopped playing the game, so stopped writing. M8 keep on writing...and let me keep on reading u...

Slith,
I know my people who are interested in all things Assassin are sent your way from my guild website. I know you are prmarily pvp, but a lil pve spec builds and number crunching is always good for readerhsip.

Hope to see your returns on crafting when the patch comes out.

Rants are hilarious even though we love the game, a little nerd rage goes a long ways lol.

Lore is cool

I do like the exploration guide, if only to try something new for getting to those hard to reach places, so keep it up when you find new places.

Damned thats pretty much everything aint it? Keep it up dude, there are so few AoC bloggers left and I still love a good read.

Your Guides are the best around and certainly what keeps me coming back. I read your guides when I'm in my sin playing mode and I still read your guides when I'm not playing my sin so much. (Know your enemy).

If only there were others out their with half as much enthusiasm doing what you do. I'd kill to have a Guardian boff! Which leads me to.......Plz Mr Slith, roll a Guard so I have lots more to read about! :)

One can dream!

This is a great blog because you write what you are passionate about. Parts of your blog cover things I don't personally tend to play (PVP for example) but still make for great reading all the same, because of the enthusiasm of your writing. And I also get to learn about something I don't experience to much first hand.

I'd vote that you keep it all, and write about the things you are most passionate about at the time.

Hi Slith!

Dispite taking a sort of vacation from AoC after playing since release (SW:TOR takes my gaming time now) I nevertheless enjoy reading your blog ever since I discovered it.

What I really would be interested as a possible topic would be your insights and opinions concering other classes. Since I must be one of the most experianced assassin-players concerning pvp I think it would be fantastic to read your stategies, tactics and so on for taking on different classes.

Anyway - thanks for still writing - I enjoy reading every post.

I like all of your posts, but Slith's cheesy exploration guide is my favourite part :)

Please, add some new ways and places.

I'm still waiting for it.

Have a good day! :D
