Its easy to be misunderstood when you are initially replying to a stranger, which is why I tend to keep my replies to myself. Firstly, yeah the javelin’s light attack is a melee attack it is only the heavy attack that throws the javelin, and it can be stacked up to 10 in a bundle so yeah it can be an issue to retrieve the item, but it can be a fun weapon. Definitely not a weapon to place on a thrall though as they just waste them. imho… and we were talking about fun playstyle, not about being meta.
I am definitely not a DEV, but hey thanks for the compliment. I’m just a fellow gamer with a decent amount of time in game. Couple thousand hours that I will admit to. My point which seemed to have been missed, was simply that you are enjoying yourself, so very SPECIFICALLY, you are NOT wasting your time. and That that is a great place from which to be starting.
Regarding weapons choices depending on the time and version you started to play Conan Exiles, there have existed several different META Builds depending upon your preferences and your use of THRALLS… Sorcery 3.0 has rewritten the rules and although arguments can be made for various weapon choices and combinations especially specializing against certain bosses. Various members of this Forum have taken tremendous amount of time to analyze the armour value of certain Bosses and monsters. Some stack buffs, use of alcohol, (sorry lotus potions), and/or go through the effort to prepare and coat their weapons with poisons. None of it is wrong. Some is more effective against other players, some is more effective in groups. Lots of opinions.
None of it is wrong. I always start a conversation good naturedly, like I am talking to a friend, this is often taken as overconfidence, brattish perhaps, neither was my intent… I only commented because my friend Stelagel had already said “hey”. This Game has undergone substantial changes, and I have only been playing for the last three and a bit years of it, and am only a recent member to the forums, I always got my info online from other players. When you start a conversation it can be dizzying how much information this game contains.
The reason I suggested the “Save the Katana Thread” was specifically because I thought as a newer player, 1000 hours is great, lots of folks have played for much longer, and have played in clan, which has a decidedly different learning curve, in each of the 3 game modes. Again I don’t really have a pony in this race, but I read the Forums quite a bit now, and The reason I suggested the “Save the Katana” thread was specifically because it deals with various points of view regarding melee styles, You get some ideas about different attribute allocations, and it is a active thread, and an instant introduction to some of the community, and points of view to the most recent version of the game. But for now I will go back to being a fly on the wall.
Enjoy the game bud, it’s a hell of a ride.
