Dear PVP community,
I’ve noticed an increased number of daily posts in frustration considering the current state of Conan Exiles. It seems to have picked up quite a bit concerning the removal of the fence foundation stacking method. In addition, the banning of clans/players in order to win wars on PvP servers.
Even as a PvE-er, I watch @Ceronesthes videos and enjoy them very much. Like some of you, I was very disappointed in the result of his latest series. Not at him, personally, but disappointed in how reporting and banning won the day, not the skill of the players.
I can not speak for other PvE-ers, but I will speak for me. The amount of rant posts put up throughout the day each day are making it very difficult to listen to your concerns and understand your point of view. I totally understand the frustrations you’re experiencing, but the manner in which the posts/comments are written are very off-putting to read sometimes.
That being said, I do believe that PvP needs some dire attention from the devs. I would even go as far as suggesting perhaps an entire patch be dedicated to addressing concerns from the PvP community. Who knows what 2.9 or even 3.0 has to offer, for all we know changes are right around the corner and we have no idea. If not, I believe the PvP community needs to enlist the help of PvE-ers to seek the necessary changes.
When I first joined this forum, I saw similar rant posts and verbal jabs at PvE-ers and thought “That’s just how they are, I guess”. However, after some time I was proven wrong by a few kind PvP commenters who showed that not all PvP-ers behave the way I’ve often seen. Those PvP-ers set a high example by clearly explaining their issues with the current state of PvP and, when I had questions, were happy to explain to me to better help me understand their opinions or even how PvP is played.
I’ve recently seen well-meaning posts hoping to open discussions about solutions to issues PvP has, and too many times the post gets de-railed or becomes a textual battleground- almost as if they were fighting someone in the game.
If you’ve read this far, this is most important part of what I have to say: Some PvE-ers will not be willing to accept/advocate for changes to the game if they think it will also be applied to PvE. I think if we work together and agree that Funcom should treat these two play styles separately, then we might have a chance at seeing both play styles succeed.
I want PvP-ers to enjoy this game as much as I do, I really do. I enjoyed the last patch, and thrall emotes were on my list for RP implementation for a long while- I finally got it. It’s definitely PvP’s time for attention! I just don’t want to have to fight Red Mother for an hour solo because PvP rebalances were implemented on PvE
Sincerely,
some PvE (insert degrading name-call because of my playstyle)
