Beta client rolled back to AoS ch2

Why?

ya that big update to the beta servers was actually a roll back AoS chapter 2.
Why on earth was the beta server rolled back 2 years?

Well we’ll never know, we’re just here to hand funcom money.

I kinda giggled knowing it was wrong to giggle :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Please note: this is only speculation on my part to possibly explain why.

The Beta Servers were not only rolled back, they were locked as well. None of the Beta Servers can be played, not even my own Private Server. From memory they are all showing as full.
Out of curiosity I tried playing SP (just as a trip down memory lane). After a few minutes of play - ‘Fatal Error’. After 3 attempts I gave up.

I have seen this roll back happen before. On the last occassion, after a few days another ‘update’ came through with all new game material.
Hopefully Funcom have shut down the ‘Test Servers’ so they can test intended fixes/changes before ‘Official Release’ to the Live version.

As I said above only speculation.

You want to know why? Someone put the wrong program in the updater?

As a wise man once said: “To ere is human, but to really screw up you need a computer.”

They revert to age of sorcery because they know they didn’t do sorcery justice. Funcom will add new combat spells that are actually practical and make sense. :joy:

I like your wise mans thoughts, but as I said above, this has happened before.
If it was c…k up, why just the Test Servers. If it was supposed to be Servers elsewhere, and then implemented to the correct Servers, we would know about it by now (ie through the player base, not Funcom).
I have all my digits crossed in the forlorn hope that CE will be restored to its former glory.

Whether Sorcery was good or bad is purely personal taste.

Funcom have said officially no more updates until all the bugs are fixed.
That of course doesn’t mean that testing of new intended game structure won’t continue.
The closure of the Beta Servers could be a portent of things to come. Good or bad, time will tell.

To make @Macdallan happy!!!

Test it whenever you can and give your feedback!

Let us all not forget that Funcom is a business entity, whose only goal is to make a profit for the shareholders. They are no different from any other retailer.
Every decision made is to increase profit, nothing else. They know that every change in a game is going to p**s someone off, so they have to weigh up the gains and losses for each change they make.
As long as the gains outway the losses they are happy and making a profit. You can’t make every customer happy. If you did you would run at loss and collapse.

Let us also not forget that Funcom, as a major business entity of its size, suffers the same problems as all other major businesses ie: Exteme poor customer relations.
This critism is not aimed at the CS individuals, but at the company supervisors/departmental heads above them.

Rodney W. Harper, Project Director, Conan Exiles says: “That said, we will continue to listen to you on all our channels and we’d like to hear your opinions.”

You have heard our opinions, how about you replying. The ‘Hot Fix’ on Jan 30th was cold custard.
Please, can someone tell us what is happening.

I had been away from the game for a few days and finally got on the public beta last night. I was on Siptah. Everything from AoS and AoW was gone except sorcerers. There was no eclipse, tables for sorcery or headhunters that I could find. My character was in her latest gear set and pets and thralls that I had leveled up in Dec. 24 were still there.

I have 2 bases there and one had crafters standing around by tables that you could level up but not place at a table. The other one had only pets and some guards but not a single crafter. I had some stashed in a chest and those I could place at tables and they would work but they were just garbage thralls and not who I wanted at the tables.

Combat was pretty much the same as the last time I played but as an archer I didn’t get into melee much. The attributes were the latest settings and all my construction was still there as well as lights from temples and an old school purge meter. To be honest, I was so confused I just quit playing and came looking for some answers here.

Anyone else have any news about what is happening?

All the Beta servers are showing full and invalid. I can’t join my own private server but I can play in SP. I’s fun playing the game as it was before.
It is also nice to see the old Purge system again.

That won’t make me happy. Pre-sorcery or bust. :smiley:
