I wanna talk about how bad things are going right now for pvp in Conan. First of all there are public videos on youtube with people discovering glitches that ruin the game and still don’t fixed. Hackers are roaming around. Funcom is banning people for landclaim excessively, i got banned 2 times for it and in none of the bans there was a reason to get banned. The new armor from the summoning circle and weapons are way too overpowered and if u eliminate someone who has them u’ll basically get no loot for it since it deletes on death. The new zombies, they got a lot more hp than the thralls, that’s not necesarilly a bad thing but you can have 3-4 zombies at the same time following you ( idk if 3 or 4) so thralls are useless compared to them. The update arrived 3 weeks late for xbox game pass on pc. Duping problems and the vaults under the ice that can only be destroyed with gods. I also wanna say that in the rules it only says that if u overclaim u’ll only get your foundations remove, never get perma banned like some of my mates did. Please tell me your opinions about these.
I think it’s only perma ban if the account has already been temporary banned(suspended) a few times prior.
Perma bans shouldnt even be a thing unless youre caught cheating/ hacking i.e; floating sky bases, duping, meshing.
No bans should occur for landclaim abuse, dev wipe is punishment enough. 2 week bans is absured too, how authoritarian. Im no fan of laggy servers with landclaim abuse but good lord the ToS is horrible at explaining its vague and subjective rules. You can even grt bannex for building in certain locations that have always allowed building. FC needs to update the ToS with a list of locations they deem unacceptable. I guess that would require a moderate amount of care for youre player base’ time and effort. Make sure you buy that battlepass tho…
and the hackers dont even get banned instantly , only at the server restart so they have more time to destroy
I think 10 Cents cut Conan Exiles’ server resources to be honest. After the “Trim” of low pop servers all my characters suddenly began experiencing horrific server-side lag issues where there was never any lag before. The lag is almost non-existent on the empty PvP servers, but on the swamped PvE-C servers the game is pretty much unplayable, it takes the server about 5 minutes to load my inventory sometimes. Never, ever happened before the “Trim”. Then players with gigantic bases start getting banned. I will say no more about that. I really don’t know the answer. I just wish the game played like it did in 2021 and before.
As for PvP in general, Exiles tries to sell you on the idea you can build and defend your base, but in reality your bases are all made of straw like the “Three little Pigs” fable and players will only Raid bases while the owner is Offline now because it is so much easier. Success is virtually guaranteed if the owner is offline. What is really happening is Conan Exiles PvP is made for the easy raiding feature and not the the ability to build a defendable base. base defense is nullified by the ability to raid while the owner is Offline. Your base is really only useful for non-PvP hours protection. Soon as PvP hits it will be gutted and everything stolen. That’s the way it is Live.
I wonder if the Devs test the game assuming raiding will only be done while the base owners are Offline, or is the testing always done with a base defending team and an attacker team? There is this truth that game developers make a game with their concept of how it will be played and then the players show them how it is actually played.
I honestly dont think the devs really care about pvp really at all. All i really ever see are fluff twitter notifications for pve/ rp build events to promote a false sense of the game. Try building some of those empire like builds on official pvp and see if someone doesnt report you to mama zendesk.
After 3 years of babysitting my home server, i finally have a clan of 10 that actually stand a chance of wiping my base just from sheer numbers and ability to farm on 4x.
If this happens ill be partially bummed, but mostly i will be totally relieved. Having a home server is such a burden and pain to babysit. No rral point in javing a base now that lightning and bats can negate most of the effort i put into making my pillar base. Literally been dealing with a tribe of naked trolls spamming sandstone distracton bases all around map while im at work while they gather blood for lightning pouches. I thought thrall porking was annoying , feroxic dagger/goblin helm too but this meta is a close contender.
Eventually these guys come from an OP Clan and wipe the server like the Zardoz guys.
Yea. I am afraid to even play on officials that i like he most cause i got banned few times already and now i got 1 month ban. All for landclaim abuse that my base didnt have. So the next time will be perma ban? So now im not even playing on that account and i hope funcom stop banning legit players one day so i can start playing officials witout fear.
lol you think testing happens
Its normally 3, but 4 if you have the war party perk.
If you have the 4th corrupted authority perk, demon lord (note that you cannot have war party in such a case), you can randomly spawn demon thralls while you do damage yourself. I think its up to 3, at least the most Ive gotten is 3 greater demons at once. These demons however are uncontrolled and may attack you or your other thralls also.
Im starting to think that demon lord is a waste of a perk.
EDIT: demon lord is the worst. Its super annoying. I think its stupid that if I accidentally hit my horse with a pick while mining iron, two demons spawn and attack me. Funcom needs to change the perk so that demons only spawn from your WEAPON attacks at the very least. The demons are also very short-lived (mixed blessing) and generally not even worth the war party minion.
I mean for the landclaim thing is the easiest solution to limit the building pieces you can place per clan/player on officials if they don’t want big buildings.
But seems funcom admins like to delete normal builded bases a lot more.
The deep cave undermesh bases they of course don’t delete from my experience.
Exploiting and unpolished features on the other hand was always a big problem in conan since early access, I don’t think they are able to handle that. You need to hope that you find a server with mostly fair playing players.
Yeah alky, they just don’t think when they ban dude
The devs, FC, just want to make money, totally understand that. They just don’t know how. I don’t know who they get their ideas from or if they’re just trying to copy what is working for other developers but something isn’t working. This game is going downhill fast. Agreed, pvp is bad. I’ve been watching peoples old clips recently from like a year to 2 years ago( coz the game is just too boring to play anymore) but you can clearly see how good and addicting the pvp used to be in this game, even for the people who weren’t good at it they had so much inspiration to get better at it. But now there’s just no point. It’s not even a fun game anymore from my perspective, it’s just a coin grab. Hard to believe that the same people who brought me CE and the Exiled Lands is the same people who made Siptah and Age of Sorcery. Almost wish console supported lateral servers where I could go back and play an older version.
Actually I know they do. But they dont know enough how to balance it. Their problem when releasing updates is that they do everything at the same time. They try to implement stuff for PVP and also try to balance it for PVE. They need to change tactic. If they implemented a new feature they need to change the values towards PVE and PVP at the same time. Now if feels like they balance it for PVE for example and hopes it works for PVP aswell.
And also they try to touch a many parts of the game. With 3.0 they f#ck#ed up the jars. When they really didnt had to change anything at all with jars.
And if they wanted to change something with them they could just have released a single patch for them.
they know enough to balance it, they don’t care as long if they don’t even reply to your ban appeals
This game and Funcom’s actions are ridiculous. PvP has been destroyed with flyng bats and other harrypotter stuff. I just found the elixir of rebirth, now it doesn’t even matter what perks your follower gats, you can just reroll them to get better ones. With all the other spells there’s no need to do anything yourself anymore, if you die just summon the corpse and stuff back. No need to go and get them across the world. Idiotic, there’s no sense in this game anymore.
They gotta fix the performance issues, and the lightning those are the only real problems besides that the update is actually really good. No more one shot lance and bs like that like before
Actually, the summoned bat demon is straight from Robert E. Howard, specifically from The Scarlet Citadel.
