Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Like the Changes to Stack Splitting?

Update: I logged in to try and tinker with the UI / take time to fiddle with it. It’s doable. I was shocked when I’d seen it’d been messed with and frustrated by the changes. As I got to messing with it though, learning it there are elements that I actually like and are in some instances an improvement. I think it was a mistake to remove the shift button function for specific stack removal.

the worst of all this is that there is a community representative called Andy who simply doesn’t know how to play Conan Exiles, haha, he did a totally chaotic live streaming and showed that he is just a funcom puppet, the man doesn’t criticize, no he makes arguments about mechanics or what could affect the quality of the game, for him everything is always wonderful with a smile on his face, Andy does not represent the Conan community but represents the Tencent/Funcom community, and wait for us to have another one on Dune representative of the fake community doing live streaming to convey the image that the game is wonderful…

Also, if you were to get rid of right clicking to use things, make double click work. It works for armor, but it doesn’t for consumables. Something that used to be one click, is now literally two completely different actions: select and use. This is not the definition of streamlined.

P.S.: You guys don’t get how removal of shift+drag is an innovation… instead of going with the rest of the genre, they do a complete 180 and go backwards. No other game and especially in the survival genre ever thought of that! Genius!

Shift dragging items is gone? With no alternative?
No more crom coins for me then. This is ridiculous.
I think I’m reaching the point where the frustration outweighs the fun of the game.

This is just so stupid I can’t find words. Questioned alot of things they do to this game, but this is probably one of the worst so far, atleast top 5. Great job! :slight_smile:

It is such a basic functionality that i can’t imagine the thought proces that went into taking it out.

Head empty. No thoughts.

Not only the stack splitting - no longer right click to use an item, can’t use the mouse on the radial menu - all horrible changes

most DEFINITELY not alone. its taking me forever to get a certain number of a particular item down to a specific quantity now where as I used to be able to hold shift down, move it to another box and just put in the exact number I want.

Exactly.

This is a downgrade on console as well, I would much rather transfer an exact number. Why not keep the old way of clicking an item then clicking the destination to bring up the number slider, as well as the split button?

speed. Accuracy is great and getting that precise amount so you don’t have to collect leftovers is a nice feeling but if you look at the amount of time you are doing that compared to just splitting the stack…it’s ridiculous amount of wasted time. Especially now that quick stack back into storage reduces the time back. While you are doing your thing of precision qty pull, I have already dropped and let the crafter work. I typically need 10 seeds to get my full stack of gruel for my companion thrall or wheel or whatever…I used to just get 10 and that took significantly more time than pulling the 16 that is coming off with the new method.

To be honest, this change was a revelation to me on how much effort and time I was playing WH manager and ensure proper inventory pulls were happening and what not. It’s a pain to still use due to the years of muscle memory but once I’m in the zone, it’s significantly faster to maneuver on the console.

Apparently, they are planning on hotfixing it back in…

Full disclosure here. I play on PS5, so I have no mods.

My use and select buttons have always been different.

Shift drag is not a thing. Triangle button to drop.

I absolutely hate that I can’t precise stack anymore, but I can get used to it. I have already been learning ways around it.

I am not a fan of the Custom sort going away. I store goods in specific ways. Again, I have to get used to it.

I have limited ability to re-map the buttons on the controller. Take All was R1, it’s now L2. I have to get used to that, because it isn’t an option I can change.

I can’t rotate armor when I dye it. I can have the dye in my personal inventory instead of the bench.

That “horrible” change to combat that was complained about? It’s been like that since the beginning on PS4.

Yes sir. I can confirm 100% of this. I used to play with a guy who referred to the game when he returns to base as Conan Inventory Management.

The biggest issue for me is that I love this game. I will adapt to the changes. Everyone will disagree on many changes. But, if you are coming to the forum to let everyone know that the developers are idiots and you will delete the game unless they change it back to the way you want it, good luck. Perhaps they will revert a thing or two. Perhaps they won’t. Play, or don’t.

TL/DR - is there any option to split stack to get specific amount or only half/half/half?

How i am suppose to give a player 1234 logs now? How do i give one player 5391 fiber? how the hell i am supposed to give another player 345 of my custom currency without clusterefff*** my whole inventory with a puzzle of stacks until i got the right amount? Whoever thought this is a genius idea xD…??

The answer is, you can’t - not until the next hotfix.
EDIT: Or if some modder fixes it first.

Nothing.

This is, yet another time, Funcom has developed a solution and applied it to a problem that did not exist.

Because, reasons.
