So, this isn’t the answer you want to hear, but, when I played on a public server I found unpalatable, I gifted my base and resources to a newer play and left, found a decent PVE public server, and have been there ever since.
Document and report issues, understand some folks play the game to be bullies, and move forward. If you play on a server inhabited by bullies, the options are outlast them, out asshat them, or move on. There is no one in this game that is worth my angst and ire. I play as a decompression from my corporate gig and this game has been awesome for me.
Yep. That’s why I said that using TestLive for actual testing is a step in the right direction. There have been plenty of updates before that broke a whole lot of stuff due to inadequate testing. This, right now, is much better.
I just went and read in the testlive threads for the upcoming followers II and indeed testing it there before release is a good idea. If I understood correctly what I read, right now the patch turned everything aggressive, even the turtles in newbie river. Imagine the patch being released and doing things like that XD
Except when they didn’t. Which happened every time they had to meet a deadline and skipping TestLive enabled them to do so. Which ended up breaking a lot of things in the game on those occasions.
Mainly because for a while they would put out updates onto testlive only a couple days before they would release them onto the live servers. They would not have the time to actually fix any of the issues that were discovered in the testlive servers and would then toss those very same already discovered bugs onto the live server knowing full well that they existed. That was why people would yell at Funcom to use TestLive. It wasn’t always that way mind you, it was only for a relatively short time. For some reason they got a little paranoid that everything in their new updates would get spoiled before release but, it’s better to have it release functional.
I fully agree with you there. More people should jump onto TestLive. But, such servers are not for everyone.
Well, what I meant was more that not everyone is into bug hunting and the like. Not that they have to join specific servers. I should have been more clear but yes you are correct that people can do solo/co-op in TestLive and that might appeal to people who might not have known they could do so before.
When I read people suggesting going to private servers, what I understand is that people thinks it’s better to me to trust a random admin than to trust Funcom itself. Can you understand how bad is it?
What an official server means is that You can TRUST this server, because it’s official. When Funcom sign a server as official, they make it clear that if you wnat to play the game with the better experience, you must go to it. What the sense of offer official servers and keep them abandoned? It gives the impression that the game is abandoned at all.
Private servers must exist, but they must be an option. When you have to escape to private servers because a company can not offer a good experience in their own servers, it’s because something is very wrong.
I would love to have a testlive server on Xbox … my clan would certainly play and give feedback from a pvp side… other games have done it And I agree with @Shadoza too… funcom have never said they would police officials … but I do also know they are very helpful if you approach the right people down the right avenues …I know people on Xbox that have been banned…
Sadly meshing is the norm now … I always encourage players to dm a dev with proof … hopefully this way they get sick of hearing about it and block it up
o_O
What was your “complain about that clan”? That you dont like their name? Because its COVID?
And here you have exactly a reason, why Funcom doesnt have the “human-power” todo it.
People complain about EVERYTHING. Like “covid name” and Funcom does not have enough people,
to sort out such complains, which arent worth of even reading and about real complains, like cheaters, exploiters.
That’s what “official” is supposed to mean, conventionally. Sadly, that’s not Funcom’s definition of “official”. The only thing “official” means in Conan Exiles is “Funcom paid for it”. They should have called them “free” or “public” instead of “official”.
Think about it, if they had called them “free public servers”, it would’ve instantly rung a whole bunch of alarm bells. Which is probably why they didn’t call them that
Yeah, no. A complaint like that is easily dismissed without spending any time on it, especially if they set down some ground rules about what constitutes a punishable offense.
And I agree with
