Age of War: Chapter 3 Known/Hot Issues

Typical Funcom. They cause major issues with every update. Then it takes ages to get these fixed. While modders are much faster and have already updated their stuff.

Mid-January is not a hotfix. Its a slap! Funcom should be called out in public for this. It means essentially again like many times before that servers cannot properly work or use all functions for more than an month.

It Will be fixed sure , next year. !

I made a tichet to Zendesk with the ban appeal. I get a response in 1 min with an automated reply to provide the same information I already submited in the tichet. I wrote the same information in the mail reply, and got hit with another automated message to provide said information again.
So, what now?

At least disable decay timers. I don’t see this ban issue being resolved until january.
Cleanest way to resolve this, is to rollback the update and relaunch in january.

What I am noticing you DON’T talk about here is any planned compensation for the players this company has screwed over. A weekend of increased harvest rates on official servers is not going to cut it.

I’m still banned. I did the ticket as required and I’ve not had a response.

Since I pay over $60.00 a month to host a private server Funcom is literally costing me money for a game I can’t even play.

Let’s talk about the ā€œcombat changes.ā€ You’re telling me this was ON PURPOSE. And that it needed to be done in order to COMBAT ANOTHER ONE OF THE GAME’S BUGS. You know, instead of fixing the bug. And you offer a janky ā€œworkaroundā€ that is still completely gimped compared to what we had before. And the part that’s REALLY killing me here is that you, Andy, act like this is surprising news to you that this was even done. Maybe that’s because Funcom snuck it in without ever bothering to mention it? Because they sure didn’t tell players about it anywhere. And Funcom absolutely KNEW that players didn’t like it. They definitely got that feedback from test live. And not only did nothing but kept the whole thing quiet. I guess they just hoped no one would really notice or would be so addicted to their game that they’d keep playing even with being forced to be entirely gimped against the AI in combat. Honestly my friend, this bothers me maybe even more than the ban and the OUTRIGHT THEFT of my remaining Crom Coins.

But let’s talk about that for a minute anyway. As things stand, Funcom is quite literally stealing from me and everyone else who has been banned. They’ve stolen from me the game I’ve paid for, including Isle of Siptah and the things I’ve bought in your infernal cash shop. They’re stealing from me the money I’m paying for a server I cannot access. I’m not a fan of thieves, you know, outside of Conan himself.

The camel mounts not working was also not something Funcom didn’t know. They just didn’t care to fix it because hey it’s just a small thing they can kick down the road a bit.

And you can’t tell me that Demolishers dealing more damage than intended to foundations was something they didn’t discover during test live either. So they’ve released a completely broken core game mechanic that’s very likely to result in many players losing their bases on official servers. And people wonder why I’ve never once played on an official server and wouldn’t if you paid me.

What this smacks of to me is that Funcom has an utter inability to meet the update deadlines imposed on it by their overlords (and we all know who I’m talking about) which is, even to me, an insane production schedule. You don’t massively change a game every 3 months. You do it, at most, once a year. Not because players don’t want new content… but because that kind of rushed production BREAKS GAMES. It encourages shoddy workmanship and cutting corners. It stresses out good staff members and encourages them to seek employment elsewhere. In short, it’s a really really bad idea.

And now we get to the ā€œbestā€ part of all this. Funcom is just going to F off FOR A MONTH and leave this steaming pile of garbage running as is and then START to fix it when they get back.

Seriously Funcom, revert all the changes. Delay this game breaking and customer trust breaking ā€œupdateā€ til later, whenever later may be. Do whatever it takes to restore everyone’s banned accounts. And then actually COMPENSATE YOUR PLAYERS IN A MEANINGFUL WAY. And start with a sincere apology.

I work in IT support company, and if there any ā€œfireā€ situation, workers must even back from their vacation for time of resolve major problem or must work remote from home to extinguish the fire.

Just wait a few days, forum will really IGNITE when people start losing bases on officials due to decay if they can’t login thanks to bans.

in the past funcom never cared for people wich lost something, remembe the FTL bug wich prevented people who buyed the game from playing cuz theyr OS was to old for the new implemented Anti Cheat stuff…

or do u remember as they launched the launcher and lost 50% of the players wich were after that no longer be able to join any server…

do u remember the ID Lost Bug as the second age came out…

now iam totaly pissed off, cuz i got Banned by a stupid automatism wich again messed up with the customer IDs and cant count in the right way… do u think funcom will give allt he players wich suffered the extra coins no…

all i expect is that this is installed by the lead designer wich hate the modder scene cuz they do better work then he, and now is punishing people wich dont play on the lame offical servers with stuff like that…

nothing that came out in the ages kicked my eye nothing of the improvements made the last year was needed… nobody needs npc raids… well some single player people meigth do but those are only a few…

funcom only listens to some pvp kids on theyr test server and has no ear to people wich buyed the game early and loved it since over 6000+ hours…

and now they kill the player base with bans, like this again…

behind funcom is Tencent and tencent want to see one time the money invest comming back, thats why all this bazare age and challange crap was implemented in the game, nobody needs that, the people need more Lore more conan then wich is in the game and thats only 3% scratsching on the surface of what the conan world in the books provide…

what the lead desiner up to today not realize is what they have created, how forward and promising this is, a whatuseeiswhatuget Game, build as plattform hooked up with DLCs and Modderstuff, to change the hoel expiriance in something different, then the actal intent to milk money…

the people want new maps more lore, and lesser Punishments through TERRABITE big bugged updates… while old bugs are not fixed or reinvented in new stuff… like the stormglassfoundations were grass grows through and snow and rain falls through the glass roofs…

no iam atm in a mood i could smash the door at funcom headquarter,
banning without reason, cuz of a stupid update is like breaking in my home and stealing my PC preventing me from Playing stuff i have Payed real money for…

just think about it as u brought on the thing with money… do u trust ur money to a bank that tomorro has forgotten who u are, and how much u have deposit to them…

and if a developer looses Trust of the people the game is otw to the grave…
regardles how good it ist, and i know alot scammer companys on steam wich have 100% the intention to milk money and not deliver… Funcom is on a good way to it, cuz all those other companys were located in asia wich do exactly that and now think again over Tencent wich is the main ruler of asia games…

a guy wich offical hates the modder scene cuz the think things more through fix bugs and do better work talks about reason … ROTFL…

Funcom up to today havent realiced what they did created…
a fluid game that offers everyone to change it in the Expirance they want over DLC and Modders, thats the great accomplish thats what had led Conan Exiles surfived over 8 years not the lame play on the vanilla ramless laag Servers, were u got hunted by hordes of stupid npcs…

there are other games like H1Z1 wich did that and were better in it…

this here is a great thing and it only lives cuz the Modders are that good, nobody needs new bugs, nobody needs old fixed bugs reinvented in new implemented stuff… and nobody wants to see the game change towards chinese Games to milk money from Grind…

the people want more of the conan world lore wich is only implemented by 3% they want more DLCs more maps , not old bugs new bugs and npc crap nobody needs… just the realisation of howards World Vision in Game… thats all…

funcom in the past has never compensated anything, they not even have cared about all the players lost on the base, remember the launcher invention, were 50% of the players wer cut off forever, or the FTL Bug, and Later the Anticheat OS to old Problem and conan exiles had massive loose of players in the past whats left has only survived cuz of the good work from the modder scene, and that is hated by the lead designer, if u go to the official page and want to report ur problem u see u have to enter ur official server number, which u dont have if ur on a unoffical modded server, thats the way the lead designer punishes the modder scene by constant firing up cannons in that direction and if they continue this game will shurly die…
cuz without the modder players and lovers this game will finaly empty…
nobody ever played on a good friendly balanced
modded server has ever returned back to vanilla.

This :100: :point_up_2:

Why is this put on the players?
Some may not even know the amount of crom coins they had or lost and some may be absent for reasons, what happens to them when they return to the game in perhaps weeks or months?

There is no way to see your transaction history like with a bank account, how are people supposed know if they have the right amount of crom coins?
So many questions without satisfying answers!

its the way funcom every year works put a broken update out and go on vaccation, i can forcast that after that vaccaton when lots of players come back from hollyday and notice they are banned, cant go on theyr server and theyr stuff is crushed to a rubble of poles, the Money they invested in the game is stolen and the remaining amount is missing, i wond wonder if that wont have Legal Actions in RL for the company, atm Funcom is following a Path most Asina Studios go milk money and dissapear, wich is calles Scam… and please funcom do me one Vavor delet the Fun from the name this constant Terrabite big bug updates are no fun they are a annoyance for everyone that has a limited amount of traffic ant this game is eating that up, ich is also a form of thiefery… puting out so poor patches… not rendering things to small , plus not having a team after 8 years knowing that big updates like this fail still hosting it up and close the door behind… if u want to know what ignorance about paying customers is thats described in the world Funcom, they have fun when u come and notice everything is gone…

… somehow appears 2 reports from before in zendesk… OK i though i am unbanned…

Today joining to conan :

I got damn second ban now??

No… No… Just NO!

I am sorry to hear that Americans have such poor work rights, but trying to project such to countries that have rights to holidays is just sad to see, also it could bring Funcom in a ton of trouble legally in Norway.

I am not Norwegian, but I am from Denmark and we have many similarities in many aspects of life.
The right to vacation is something that we have fought for through many years, no one outside should ever dictate how and when we should take vacations… It is a game, not a life threatening situation.
Someone in Funcom made a bad decision, don’t take it out on the workers who just follow orders!

Exactly.

And this is one of the reasons why attacking individuals at Funcom for this is wrong and - to be frank - stupid. Maybe dev X knew about an issue, reported that to his or her superior, and got instructed to publish the update anyhow. What is he or she supposed to do? Go on strike?

We’re all just working with the tools, the time, the people, the skills were are given by whatever circumstances.

Funcom as a whole can and should be blamed. Some or even most of the issues are pretty obvious and/or were reported during beta.

But who at Funcom made what decision and why, we don’t know. So blame the company, not the people.

nobody is against work rights, and holidays, :smiley:

but a company like funcom repeating the same xmas eve joke every year should be able to learn, doing such updates earlyer or after that vaccation times were theyr batterys are recharged .

conan exiles is now 8 and shortly will be 9 years old and its every year eve the same crap that happens, when the people have time to play …whats not working conan Exiles… …

its nothing new, its a repeated ignorance over paying customers… and thats i call bad behavior that dosent infuse trust in the people …

just imagine what will happen if all the others not playing the game or just took a short off, for log in back so theyr stuff is not decaying, will do, the forum will shurly explode like every xmas eve bad funcom joke, since 8 years in repeating row…

iam personaly offende every year by this behavior plus from a company wich calls itself funcom, when i get kicked in the legs like this and fun is only ment to laugh about people wich had spend money …

but be brave in 4 weeks the patch will be out, that wount recue ur castle and stuff, but hey, thats called customersupport… and u can call urself lucky the Vikings of today dont set fire everytime they put theyr update longships out…

At this point even the CEO of funcom couldn’t convince me they aren’t purposely tanking this game.

There is no other explanation for this sort of consistent, predictable, major breakage of the game. Every update loses more players because of game stopping bugs, then come back for the new content.

And every update just adds insult to injury, like banning people for 0 reason and expecting them to go through some length ticket report system in hopes of getting back in the game before everything they own decays.

Just how many people flat out just quit the game when they got the ban message? I mean we know what apx 10% of players are doing, griping here. What about the other 90%?

And just how is funcom going to make up for this absurd ineptitude? Some placation bonus % in the battle pass.

funcom, you have test servers why do you not use them properly? ALL of this could have been sorted on the beta servers.

ā€œSo blame the company, not the people.ā€

That’s exactly what I’m doing. I actually really like a lot of the Funcom folks and I always feel bad for poor Andy here when he’s thrown in the stocks and has to try to placate a bunch of (rightfully) pissed off people with no tools to actually make anything better. They really better be paying him a lot.
