You stopped for an hour Some might stop for a few days, some for a few weeks, some might stop until the game is fixed.
But when you stop and wait for the game to be fixedâŠyou loose the entire time you have spend until that point, why? Because of the decay timer. NowâŠwhen they finally fix the major issues that arise with each updateâŠthe servers are back to a 2/40 4/40 population. Game is âfixedâ but also lost all itâs âhypedâ playersâŠwhich are not coming back if they lost their âbelongingsâ.
Letâs keep being mediocre and greedy. HellâŠthey could not even bring a freaking cash shop that is working properly⊠Says a lotâŠ
My first reply on this forums when i camed back with 3.0 was:
Funcom launched the bait, fish got caught, reeled in and instead of being cooked, the fish went to the refrigerator.
This is the thing, being addicted to the game does not make it a âFUNâ game to play.
Iâll tell you a little story and maybe you understand why i am how i amâŠI play mostly Siptah, because it offers the âless wasted timeâ vs fun.
I camed to 3.0 Testlive just after my vacation ended. Got hooked and decided to âprolongâ my vacation with a couple days to play Age of Sorcery. As i already had a 60 on EU testlive, was easier to get into 3.0. But guess whatâŠafter the 2nd day of me playing testliveâŠserver goes offline for 12 daysâŠSo i change to US testlive and start anew. Took some time until i had some thralls, until i farmed some eldarium and got to delve my armors Warchief/Frostgarb.
When 3.0 released i saidâŠâCome start fresh on a different official server and enjoy the playthroughâ. Said and doneâŠI rushed leveled to 60 by killing lizzards early on and then moved the Pools of the Grey Ones area. I only rushed leveling because i had planned to start Surging/Purging asap. I do not do lesser thralls or zombies, so i went and killed the mother a couple times until i got enough essences to do a surge. I go to the leyshrine in order to do my first surge and get some crafters/fighters, but guess what! The surge it wonât start, the tentacle wonât go away and you could not get a surge going. Ofc i have farmed essences enough for 3 Surges, so next day after restart and seeing that the tentacle is not up in the sky anymoreâŠso now was the time. I go there, put everything inside and pull the lever. IT WORKED!!! Only to notice that the npcâs were falling exactly in the middle of the Leyshrine, on 3rd wave one of the platforms had only 1 npc on it, rest were invisible/undermesh/inside structures. I go to a different Leyshrine and do my 3rd Surge(with the last 10 remaining essences), surprisingly i finish it, but guess what :))) Was one of those rng Surges that award you mostly nothing else then a Fighter thrall.
So i was meh, âcome letâs get some eldarium and get the thralls i got some better armorâ. How u do that? Well, due the Delving Bench. I go do all 14 vaults(for obvious reasons, sigils) and have enough eldarium to delve after a decent amount of recipes. I was mainly after Warchief and Frostgarb. I go to the delving bench put my aesir armors inside and to my surprise i was getting âSpiced Fishâ instead of any recipes. As most know, not each delve you made was previously successfulâŠSo i thought that the fish i am getting was a better result then ânothingâ and probably i have to delve more until i get what i want(Keep in mind that the delving bench worked normally on Testlive). I went and got more eldarium and did a couple more Aesir SurgesâŠonly to come back to the delving bench and get âSpiced Fishâ. At some point i started grinding materials for building my base, as the other 2 activities were more of a failure and wasted timeâŠI spec in full Expertise so i can carry everything and go for a world tour. When i come back i was missing space, i was missing quite a few storage boxes, so i used my crafting benches for temporary storage.
I go to the delve bench and put inside a bunch of plant fiberâŠas i have used my entire eldarium previously on delving, the delving bench had a couple of aesir armor pieces left inside, but no eldariumâŠin the second i put the first stack of plant fiber inside i see the Delving process starting and the results were letâs say âInterestingâ.
You see StelagelâŠthose 2 features in Conan Exiles: SiptahâŠwere what made me an addict, plus the figurine gathering and pools boss fights. When none of these work and i am prevent from having fun while i throw thousands of hours in this gameâŠThen i stop.
BUT! decay timer prevents me from stopping and come back when those things that i enjoy doing in the game work again. It is just a chore of logging into the game each 6th dayâŠ
I would link you a video from a guy that puts in perspective the goods and the bads in this game, but i cannotâŠIâve been âsilencedâ, maybe better this way as i am here on their forums.
Funcom should disable decay timers, at least on PvE and PvE-C server, when they pull out a mess like this.
