Do Funcom care for PVP community?

[E.y]

Fighting, no matter if pve or pvp should feel smooth not clunky. The whole change to stamina was wrong to begin with. Other devs have worked for years to give Conan Exiles a decent combat system and you went ahead and destroyed their work within 3 Ages of nonsense updates.

Combat now is in a stage where it feels you are playing an EA 2 dollar garage sale not a game that is on the market and developed since almost 7 years. And you are having the ego to be proud of it and calling those bs update progression? By all means, not even the pve players are happy with the current combat changes. But hey go a head and tell yourself you know what you are doing while your community suffers and stops active playing because your great combat changes leads to nothing but frustation and unplayability.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Everything is going to be ok Winthor

I do not speak for the rest of the PvE community, afterall, to each their own affinity of combat, but as a PvE player myself, I did not mind the change in stamina.
I liked fighting with the bow and hammer a lot before the change, sometimes the daggers too for a boss with a high stack of PV, and I was using a one hand weapon when I was riding a horse or at night (to hold the torch in the other hand).
If anything, the damage dealt by the folks in the volcano is considerably noticable in PvE, but the stamina change? Not so much.
Does the new system of stamina bites for the PvP players? It looks that way. Is it because the PvP servers use spears more compared to the PvE servers in which the use of weapons is more diverse and the use of rolls less important? Maybe. Old stamina, new stamina, I would go with either honestly.

Purge has not seen any major updates. They are bugged, they are stupid and you and I know it will stay this way.

Just this, I will have to disagree. The fact that you can both select the time when you are having the purge and choose the level of purge you want to get regardless of the biome you built your base in… ARE major updates.

We are talking about players getting to choose how they use their game time without having to endure imposed setting sequences just because their real life agenda does not match the agenda set by the server.

The fact that you finally have an enemy camp in front of your base with chests as rewards and NPCs to save and recruit ARE major updates too.

We are talking about the “reward” notion for your efforts. When you fight any other boss on the map, you get that special reward (key, chest…), not just the loot of the dead minions. Why was it that for a purge, which lasted 45min, no reward was planned and nobody even cared about it? We were only farming the purges for their thralls, being blind to how bland that was. The new purge introduces the notion of item “reward” (how useful that reward is to you is debatable, but it is still a mechanic which belongs to this kind of event).
As for the recruitement without the use of the wheel of pain, I will not explain why it is a crucial feature, threads have been made for it alone.

Let us be honest, had it been reversed… with the camp system from the start, and all of sudden you were introduced with the old system of purge for Age of War, who would not complain? The NPCs popping out of nowhere and destroying your whole base rather than just focusing on how to access your riches? That is what I call “bs”. The old purge was only “fun” because we knew no better.

I agree with the fact that the new system of purge needs its bugs fixed. But honestly? The new purge is fun. Minus the bugs, the way it is conceived looks more like what a finished game would give to its players than what we had previously for years.
