I used to play on PS4 quite a lot before Isle of Siptah’s release. I recently came back to the game on PC. Once I started dealing with NPCs, it seemed like a rather noticeable difference. I have heard about a stagger bug, not sure if that is still a thing or if it was supposedly fixed. It surely doesn’t seem fixed. Combat feels like garbage now. I get out to Lookout Point where I grind for iron in the early game. I get my Lesser Wheel, Truncheon, some bindings to go after some of the NPCs at the camp above this. For now, I am just going after solo targets. Only, I cannot seem to stagger them at all. They are 100% ignoring my attacks, and instead simply launching their own at the same time as mine. So we are both taking damage, and it feels like a battle to simply out-health your enemy. I’ve tried to dodge when an enemy starts a combo. But he will always spin instantly in place so the second attack is aimed directly at me. I can’t get around to attack his flank or rear at all. Which makes me feel like, what is the point of using a dodge roll to begin with, if the enemy has that sort of tracking to instantly alter the direction of their attacks. Is this stuff supposed to be addressed in 3.0? Or is it simply a case of “you’re screwed, deal with it” ? I haven’t been keeping up with Conan’s patches or update info, and haven’t been able to find anything online about the stagger, other than some issues from 2.5 and 2.1.2. Making me think the current status of the game is intended, and not something that is being addressed. Which I hope it is, because it just feels really disheartening, like the game is trying to emulate a Soulslike, which I don’t find all that fun.

I’d like to do away with auto lock for more competitive fighting. I’m happy with potions to heal as it doesn’t drag fights out to long compared to the haunch and tea days. Other combat issues I have are hopefully being addressed in 3.0. Conan exiles does an excellent job at making pvp very fun and skill based. (Other than daggers which are 0 skill)

I’m referring to pvp. I don’t see how lag has anything to do with it. If you are on ps5 you shouldn’t be lagging unless your sever is over built

I visited your sever so your lag issues are not surprising.

Marcospt: Which one of them? 3049? That’s not the worse, by far! You have seen nothing! Ok… so you aren’t surprised either glad we got that out of the way. As for lock on. I’m not just referring to daggers but the whole lock ability all together. Not everyone will agree it’s ok. I think FC mentioned they were tweaking the lock on so we will see what that brings.

[image] Target lock for NPC and beasts only Feedback TLDR; Please create a server setting to allow target lock for NPCs/monsters and Players seperately! A discussion has been had in our server community for quite a long time. One part on the subject argues that target lock is easily exploitable in PVP and makes it unbalanced, encouraging one form of meta - while another part argues that disabling target lock to avoid exploiting, in turn encourages a different meta. Honestly - it’s irrelevant what argued meta belongs to which, and wether or not…

[image] Pugilist: I can’t afford to take a hit or two if I want to swap out my thrall’s weapon for a truncheon. That’s why I use the Spare Named addon. Stick a truncheon and weapon in their inventory. They automatically KO T4/named and kill T1-T3. Though I’d like to be able to set them to knock out any T1, T2, T3, T4 combination. However, I didn’t need Journal or Emote mapped to my D-Pad Left or Down, so I set D-Pad Left as (kill the npc) and D-Pad Down as (KO the NPC), as long as I’m on them with the reticle I can make my thrall switch to the truncheon or weapon easily. Not perfect, but helps a lot. My current status is that I’ve picked up a T4 Shieldwright, so I’ve been remaking my armor with buffed stats. Gotten Ionna the Seductress to dance for me, plus I have Bragi the Bold, Cannibal Brute, Conchaka, and Eina sitting in a chest so I can get them leveled when I have time. Managed to get Hyena gear to craft, which is treating me nicely, especially from all the hyena fur I got while leveling Sully using them. Plus I’m at 50 now. Contemplating the pains of packing up all my Improved stations and throwing my thralls into Sully to make the trek west. While leaving the low tier stations at the Dustdevil Ridge camp.

I havent personally ever used autolock. But i dont like that you can see hp bars in it… and the fact that i think theres still an option to turn on hp bars without it, you can see everything around you through walls or in complete darkness. Not necessary for a pvp game

I wish they’d remove the fu***** hostiles in Sepermeru already. Or at least change it so they don’t cause everyone in the bloody city to become hostile, just because you freaking walk past their building. Had this happen to me just now. Bunch of Set worshippers standing guard, I was just walking along the street and they rush to attack me. Then all the normal NPCs nearby start attacking me as well. I would have thought this would have been adjusted by now, because it makes no sense at all.

I can probably handle it. Sully is 20 now, and he got the +10 STR perk as well. So he has a 32% boost to STR melee. I’ll get him some decent armor now that I have a shieldwright to boost it. At the moment I’m just west of Shattered Springs farming and working on laying out a base.

Combat....seriously wtf happened?
