In Conan Exiles, “excessive land claim” refers to players building structures that cover an area larger than the intended space for a base, potentially impacting other players and the server’s performance. This can lead to issues like lag, blocked paths, and a generally negative experience for other players, especially on official servers. [1, 2]
Here’s a more detailed explanation: [1, 2]
What constitutes excessive land claim?
A build is considered excessive if it: [1, 2]
- Blocks paths or natural features: Structures that obstruct player movement or access to resources are problematic. [1, 2]
- Creates a large, sprawling base: Extremely large bases can strain server resources and negatively impact other players’ frame rates. [1, 2]
- Uses a high number of foundations: Excessive foundations can lead to performance issues, especially on servers with lower-end hardware. [1, 2]
- Uses a high number of decorations: A large number of decorations can cause lag for other players. [2]
Why is it an issue?
Excessive land claim can: [1, 2]
- Reduce server performance: Large builds can cause lag and instability for other players. [1, 2]
- Disrupt gameplay: Blocking paths and resources can create a negative experience for other players. [1, 2]
- Lead to reports and potential actions: Excessive builds can lead to reports to the game developers (Funcom) and potentially result in base removal or other penalties. [1, 3]
How to avoid excessive land claim: [1, 2]
- Build strategically: Plan your base size and location to avoid blocking paths or essential features. [1, 2]
- Use foundations sparingly: Consider using fewer foundations and focusing on vertical construction to maximize space efficiency. [1, 2]
- Be mindful of decorations: Limit the number of decorations to minimize performance impact. [2]
How to report excessive land claim: [3]
- File a report: If you encounter a build that you believe violates the land claim rules, you can file a report to Funcom with screenshots, details of the violation, and the location of the build. [3]
Important note:
The rules and enforcement of land claim violations can vary between server types (official, private, etc.) and server settings. [1, 2]
