Dune Spice Mechanic for Conan?

Conan Exiles General Discussion
1

So the Dune Spice mechanic enhances your damage output, awareness, movement speed, and has a withdrawal / addiction feature to it as well.

I think that having such a mechanic would not be completely alien to the Conan universe because there are examples of drug use in the source material.

I wouldn’t mind accessing the drug concoction to be tedious (bloodcrystal+ash+black lotus+hero’s heart for example), and time gated.

Having a Dune Spice mechanic might be a nice alternative to the fairly one dimensional sorcerer corruption mechanic where hybrid play is not particularly practical (IMO).

What do you you all think?

no, no and no - please don’t put any more mechanics into the game, you’re already not very good at it and it just makes it work less and less…

This one thinks the implementation might be tricky

We already have combat drugs, the lotus potions.
They give buffs, they have side effects.

However, some years ago, they “flattened” buffs, so now we have a potion buff and a food buff only.
No more magical body paint. No more drunkeness bonuses, ect…
Furthermore, the lotus potions with their nasty side effects are not better than the “clean” potions.

Of course, this was all buffs of a banal variety, bonuses to str or later melee damage ect.

Putting mechanics in that change responsiveness may be too much to ask, especially considering the issue we already have just figuring out stamina restoration.

But as for combat drugs…
Black Lotus potion is right there.

That said, they are weak and boring.

Speaking personally, at this point I would much prefer to see existing mechanics such as the game’s religion system be made relevant and useful again.

Or here is yet another idea; get the Mummy of the Ring finally finished and implemented into the game.

Yep - rather than adding new mechanics based on ideas from a different game (no matter how lore-supported they might seem), it would be nice if they just finished some of the ideas from this game. (Or even just fixed the ideas they’ve so far ‘completed’ - Age of Bug Fixes still has a long way to go before I want to see any new additions.)

Hater!!! :grinning_face: :wink:
In my opinion,Dune looks pretty well,you can build,there is a lot of…well,just sand and rocks to run through,i´ve seen at least a few very cool designed places…i don´t like that thing about extracting blood and corporal fluids,but it´s Dune,is that way…single player info gives you a cool smile and makes you to want to test it,multiplayer looks very interesting,i don´t know clearly what means multiplayer battles or have lost some info…so,MP server will allow you to enjoy many players fighting but a reduced number if you are not in a battle,something as Red Dead Redemption 2…RDR2 is quite cool at multiplayer…by now videos showing gameplay are cool,always in my opnion…let´s see how it goes.
