Fatalities. From annoying to amazing in one single step!

I absolutely want to poke someone in the face with Derketo’s Kiss.

What would be a change that would make fatalities probably less annoying is to put them as a organic finisher from a combo of hits in one enemy.

Meaning: If you are using a weapon, and in a sequence of 2 or 3 hits that enemy is the one and only one you are hitting, the fatality trigger as the next move in sequence should that kill the enemy or the last move before it would.

You avoid the eventuality of triggering a fatality among dozens of enemies that both make fatalities counter productive and defeat the purpose of enjoying seeing it clearly, and it wont be requiring a whole lot of “thinking” to execute it, because it organically integrates with the flow of combat.

It can even allow modders to integrate their own fatalities as easy as you can integrate combo moves for custom weapons.

Could even argue that in a group, should the last hit of a combo be the killing blow in a group, but only one will be remaining to hit, it could also apply.

As it is though, it works, it sometimes can be fun, but in many cases, it is counter productive. Nothing you “build up” using the same flow will change that problem.

It should simply be optional with a dedicated key and a option to turn it off if a player doesnt want fatalities during gameplay on any type of server.

From offcial to solo single player.

Yep, completely disabled it should be an option too.

With their tendency to sacrifice utility for console players comfort, I wonder what mess would be made to make room for a dedicated key to fatalities.

Would not suggest dedicated keys to a “consolization addict” dev team and expect good results.

You really have a problem with our console community huh?

Did you miss the memo that Funcom plans to open up consoles to mods?

If they do there’s probably going to be a limit and the distaste of your comments could be remembered.

This.

In my current playthrough I loathe fighting NPCs. Because the damn fatalities bug out so often. I could be fighting 2 or more and the stupid dazed animation starts on 1 and the second+ NPCs are wailing on me but I can’t fight because it keeps trying to trigger the fatality. I stand there jerking around unable to swing my weapon.

So I have to back away from the dazed NPC to even fight the rest.

I certainly did. :pleading_face:

Doing good! Barely playing these days though, I’m officially on a break. Elden ring DLC is coming soon. Also my friends stopped playing (Mostly due to bugs of Chapter 4 launch and the usual - cheaters).
I guess I’m the only one who still has any kind of hope for this game. Dunno what it tells about me - am I am idiot or am I on copium? Up to you :[

I’ll be brutally honest with you. People mostly hate consoles because of the limitations put on games that are created both for consoles and PCs. The main complaint in case of current discussion is the hotkey limitation. Only 8 hotkeys for a game that has just as many types tools is just sad.
For the same reason you can’t have kick on every weapon - there are just not enough buttons on the controllers.
If the game was designed strictly with PCs in mind, it would be so much better. Or… if consoles finally figure out how to use keyboard and mouse. They’re already just scuffed PCs anyway.

Nobody hates the console community though. In fact I wish we had cross platform. Would help with population shortage!

I agree that consoles do put limitations but that says more about the dev than it does about the community, right? They’re still our Conan brethren.

Keep in mind I wasn’t replying to you but someone who has consistently stated that they do not care about anything console, official server or PVP related.

This type of mentality is what creates the divides that segregate us and forces infighting instead of uniting for better.

Dunno. I admit, I’m actually considering taking a peek into the public servers for the first time in my life, partly inspired by your videos and partly by @stelagel’s crazy challenges. Maybe, if the next Age isn’t a disaster at launch, and I can find a server that isn’t entirely dead (no point in multiplayer if there aren’t multiple players) I’ll start my own little role-playing challenge.

It’s not the game someone should place hopes on, but the people who play it.
Games are games always were always will be.
This week me and LostBrythunian played with
@everybodyvsME and
@UNfun.
Yesterday i had the privilege to play with @Cannipals finally, because this was the original goal in this server :rofl:.
I consider Cannipals my lucky star, period! The crappy server he plays that underperformed every single day gave me this weekend the experience i am looking for years now in this forum . Of course my fellow exiles are MAGNIFICENT people, MAGNIFICENT!!!
So who cares if the game lags, underperformed and all these bull… I don’t.
Would it be better if it was in better shape? Hell yea!
But online you play with people with just one goal, fun.
And all these people above gave me the best weekend i had years now playing this game. That’s all that counts for me when i go online, nothing else.

Side note! Guys if you’re exited to meet the AMAZING LostBrythunian, wait to see sestus2009 too. Prepare to laugh with tears, our big brother is just as amazing as LostBrythunian.
That’s my privilege my friend Kapoteeni in this game, that’s my upper goal, nothing else.

Haha yes it was fun! :smiley:
I’ll try tweaking the coffer location to get the purge working. Otherwise I’ll try the other recommended location :+1:

Great meeting you @stelagel :partying_face:

Was amazing mate! And @LostBrythunian has not only the most interesting way to express himself, he also has a very smooth voice!

I will always hear that voice now when i read his posts!
New job is awesome btw, and of course i hope we can continue wrecking the game soon!
Now that i don’t have to work on weekends anymore it should be easier to get the gang together. :blush::heart_hands:

I guess questioning your own believes is a healthy thing and not walking away from something you love because others hate it, isnt wrong either.

I do ask myself this question too.But when i logged in today to keep my base i noticed you can request help directly from the menu now.

This game isnt dead, pvp is under siege by cheaters.Activision got a conviction earlier.I do believe its only a matter of time before cheaters get a literal fine in the mail.

Because its starting to get a bit out of control with cheaters in all games.

Not to mention the private pvp servers who make you pay to get cheated on…

Anyways, hope you find new stories to make about conan exiles because i love your videos. :slight_smile:

This one’s junior high (in other places perhaps called middle school) music teacher referee to their voice as soundly reminiscent of a dying vulture in heat.
While this one is flattered, it is definitely something in the digital translation that make the voice anything other than a braying screech.
This one will work on other voices between now and next time to prevent nitemares and further trauma.
