I’ve tested both of these features with multiple base locations. Offline raiding and trolling is bad enough but adding these features in pvp is a mistake.
Built a base at the docks with 15 layers of anti climb. I was able to make a ice bridge from multiple sides and get right to the front door. I built a base at west watch keep and it was the same thing. Why are we promoting easy raiding? It’s already hard enough to be on everyday for raid and live within the tos. In no way is it fair to bypass layers and layer of anti climb with a cheap spell. Same can be said for the bat that ignores carry weight. Fly up to the roof of a base when defender isn’t on and drop down with hundreds of bombs… please fix these features in pvp as it will kill pvp
I get that according to everyone this is primarily a pve game but the option for pvp is there. I don’t get how these features make any sense the way they are currently. Do any devs care about pvp at all?
I think answer for that should be 2h daily raid window, no offline raiding + few servers with weekend only raid let’s say 4h window wouldn’t hurt - that way NO OFFLINE RAIDING, no need to be online 5h / day, chance to actively defend (which is a lot fun and its not that hard)
Why do you all use this argument of this nebulous unnamed force of PVPers who just attack attack attack all the time that you have zero defense against?
They will fly into our base and blow it up. They will icebridge into our base and blow it up. They will raid us during the five hours of PVP. They will attack in this way. They will attack in that way. They will raid.
Why is it always this unnamed bogeyman that is always on the offensive? Why can’t you all raid instead? Why can’t you all be the they instead? Why can’t you all go on the offensive? Why can’t you all raid during the raid hours? Why can’t you all attack and bomb, and all the things you say you can’t defend against?
If you can’t defend for whatever reason, guess what? Neither can They. The best defense has always been and always will be a good offense. Raid before being raided.
This is how PVPers play. They attack before they can be attacked.
PVEer’s sit in their dollhouses waiting to have their dignity taken from them.
I do care about issues. The problem is, right now they are being speculated to be an issue but I havent seen any proof that pvp has been turned upside down yet (primarily because its all theory based on an unreleased version).
Thats is what people do and what people want. But what people do not want is to loose their whole base everyday because its made out of paper. This game is not made for building a new base every day. And that is the problem. You need a lot of items to craft and workstations and thralls on a daily basis to make pvp work properly. And for that you need space and a place where you can store that items. Would Conan be a game where you loot and craft on the go, it wouldn´t be a problem. But nobody is able to rebuild an entire base + workstations + thralls + farm + craft every day. This turns into a second fulltime job that nobody has the time nor the nervs for. Its not about making bases unraidable. Its about balancing base damage to a volume that makes sense.
You are running your buttibutt off the whole day just to end up with nothing in the end. Because you can´t fortify properly anymore or make decoy buildings or litteral anything worth to protect your base from crumbeling apart. And to top that people are able to fly to your base now and bypass cranalations.
Whoever Dev thinks this is good for pvp hasn´t understand pvp and in my eyes should be punished, to play Conan Exiles PVP nonstop for a month. Just to get a taste of its own medicine.
This is the point of test live to work out the issues. So unless they change what I’ve already tested then what is even the point of building a base? What’s the point of walls and anti climb? What’s the point of wet noodles for thralls? The defender was already at a disadvantage and now it’s ALOT worse
I can see how you have this take, but for me and a lot of people I know this simply isn’t realistic.
“The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.” or “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
Any PvP server that does not have Anchor players will neither be popular nor exist for too long as a high-level server. Therefore, key players must maintain a presence and if possible a stiff upper lip. Speaking as one, over time, our defenses have eroded – this is simply the actual pinnacle. These two things let you overtop any base.
I’m not complaining. I’ll adapt. But please hear me now and believe me later: watching a server 24/7 is simply not possible for one player, nor should it be. It creates the kind of turtle culture that stagnates the entire experience.
In this 24/7 period ANY lifeless Klingon body vault can come alive and prepare to pickle your pecker. Irrespective of transfers, vaults are the rub. Legit players, they can be dealt with. And if they came on, leveled and caught me napping for that long, they deserve my goodies.
Yup pvp is impossible to survive anymore. During the bomb dupe the clans made thousands of bombs and the only way to survive is to join a big clan. Now ice bridges let u over the walls and flying mounts let you in. The game is only getting worse. I know one Official server thats dominated by just 1 clan, nobody else plays it. Funcom needs to stop offline raiding that will allow other players to atleast survive the game by just logging off before pvp. Also Funcom needs to give a better way to survive pvp like anything. So no matter what anybody says whats the point for Funcom to have a Official pvp server that only one clan plays because they wipe you out a week after playing. What`s the point Funcom.
Darth answered, yesterday had also one guy in testlive who moaned about lags and bad gameplay , in TESTLIVE, that is not even released and even started to swear and went ‘‘singleplayer’’ because i am C and N word because yep, said that this is like tester server … and u guys all are talking like this game is released And there should not be bugs in test servers, like nobody ever played on tests :D…
Basically i mean the same that darth said… u all are making theories based on unreleased content that need to be tested + u placed it under forums that is under section of already released content not like testlive…
Exactly why it’s being tested and I am bringing it up… by your logic we shouldn’t test things out and bring up concerns? It’s a pvp breaking feature that should be addressed for the reasons I’ve already stated and I’m not alone in thinking this.
+ u placed it under forums that is under section of already released content not like testlive…
