Casual Review of a Returner to Conan

I will be honest, I didn’t even Conan existed for the Longest time. I was mostly into ARK, that fulfilled my Survival Game needs mostly. After having a falling out with ARK I looked for a new Survival Game, Found Conan Exiles. I do not remember exactly when I first started playing. I remember something about you were able to buy a Camel but couldn’t raise it into a mount or something. I played for about a month or so, Lost Interest.

Things I like in Conan,
Climbing and sliding down walls and terrain
Fighting system (it actually has one unlike ARK) not perfect (Server Lag and JANK) it is ok for the most part.
I like the Exile Lands, I wish there was more, theres a whole 1/4 of the map that is blank (north east part)
the building system is ok, what I find annoying while building and something ARK and other game do better. I can never get things lined up correctly. while the green outline looks near perfect or perfect after it is placed I find it off somehow. moving side to side is inconsistant. sometimes you move a foot over… sometimes a meter. (on PC) Maybe having Crafting stations and such have snap points would be less annoying with a option to disable snapping.

Things I out right hate. Battle Pass and all the DLC Bullshit. who the hell actually likes that shit? Coming in (bought Conan on Sale) and seeing all the Cosmetic DLC plus a Battle Pass kinda soured me. Usually that stuff if for ■■■■■■ Free To Play games… But Conan is not Free to Play. I didn’t mind paying for the Isle of Siptah cause that was a actual DLC.

I feel as though the Thralls are stupider? was something done to the Thrall AI? they miss 90-95% of their first attack. It is just annoying when you have a Authority/Exterise Build. Enemies run passed your Thrall (they Miss their Attack) then run straight for me with my 200 Health Pool.

I have seen some stuff about the Age of Heroes, that is what brought me back before it starts. It almost feels like Conan is adding in Colony Sim elements. but just Cosmetic Colony Sim elements. your Workers will walk around do stuff or something. While your Fighters are still basically Mannequins standing there forever until you move them… or they die cause you stopped playing and they strave cause someone else rendered your base.
I wish Conan would go more Colony Sim. Not half heartly. I played a game called ASKA that was a Survival/Colony Sim. You would have to provide for your workers and fighters. Food, Shelter etc. Meaning you had to make them House, Place to Sleep (bed in the shelter) Food, you had to hunt or farm, you either had to cook the resources you hunted or farmed OR you had a cook that made everyone food. it was a cool concept. You could make a self sustaining village.
How is related to Conan?? It would be cool if you had to fulfil the needs of your Thralls. Nothing super Micro managing. BUT it would be Cool if you could free your Thralls and have them join the community you made. Not just slaves. be a breaker of chains of sorts. OR be a complete ■■■■■■■ and treat your Thralls like crap and rule them with Fear and brutality.
I don’t know it would be cool if you had that choice. Also a reason to make better bases, to decorate. like adds to a comfort level of thralls. or intimate Thralls to stay under your rule.
just some ideas I had.

The dungeons for Conan Exiles are all situated in the north east section of the map, hence why it’s blank.
