Background:
In the past, players have complained that DLC armors were in some cases superior to normal armor. They are not supposed to be, as they are cosmetic. This is explicitly stated on steam and also noted here: Downloadable Content - Official Conan Exiles Wiki
The change with Update 38 seems to have been noted down incorrectly in the patch notes. What happened is that the normal armors were ‘buffed’ to dlc armor. See the following links for more details:
This thread is related to these ongoing discussions:
dlc is not nerfed as i can see… the free armours r buffed to be on par
so tbh i see no nerfing on what i paid for. i am glad that normal armours r on par with the dlc ones! it was anyways clarified from the beggining that the dlc is not intended to give any advantages , but to be cosmetic stuff
Thank you for your awesome explaination, in details!
No I mean the latest patch.
I found out that I had a bug, this happened 2 days in a row now.
I have flawless aquilonian, when going for Black Ice in frost temple, I normally go with “light warming” up food, the last 2 days I will die of frostbite which wasn’t the case before, unless I don’t use “light warming” food for warming up.
I don’t know why, but I just reinstalled the game (initialized Playstation) and I don’t have the problem anymore.
I was shoocked in the first place, thank you all for the explaination and thinking with me here, I’m glad this is over for me.
