There is a huge problem that no one seems to know about currently with Funcom… Funcom dang near went out of business before the drop of conan exiles. Thus the reason for the rushed release. So when several million copies sold the money would not have gone back to the game to make it even better it went to solve their financial problems leaving very little money to go back to the game. (It is very likely since they were so dangerously close to going out. That they had to lay off a lot of people adding to the issues we are currently having with slow content release.) Not only that but it makes bug patching slow and so on. This dlc was one of two things, Them trying to make money to pull their butt out of the fire again or them trying to make money to continue to manage to pay their employees and try to hire more on board to increase the production rate of content. As it currently sits i’ve seen the patch notes for the current test live version. Unless there are about 350 different things that have been patched they are only going to release about 150 total meaning this whole deal about 500 patches coming out for us is a line of crap. Don’t get me wrong i didn’t go off topic this still relates back to the dlc which is the choice of the devs to try again get more money to keep their game running so that they can patch it. The DLC itself should have released gear that would be relevant to both late and early game. However star metal while you unlock it at level 55 is not late game gear. It is out done by both dragon bone and obsidian gear which i feel that the late game weapons should have been based off dragon bone. But that is just me. Still we cannot expect to much going forward considering how their financial problems played such a huge part in the game to this point.
Still LMAO about them being consistent and never releasing anything for this game without ■■■■■■■■ it up.- been watching it now and experiencing it for almost two years. There is no way in hell someone did not see this backlash coming.
Why is this company so tone deaf and lacking common sense when it comes to customer retention and community building?
Krieg is right about the cash flow problem but they did not treat the EA players any better even though that group pulled their chestnuts out of the fire for them. - beginning to wonder if this is a cultural thing at Funcom.
In 3 months maybe 4 we will be back to 4k players in total playing again: - ah the good old days of disinterest.

Funcom be Lucy and we be Charlie in this pic since they keep moving the ball on us.
absolutely agree with people saying this is not a pay to win… but anyway totally upset because after only 2 month from release you ask money to players for a very bugged game…there are people on console that buy the game and they can t play it…c’mon in very unfair. yes…this game is near the death but not for this dlc…this game is near the death and I m very sad for this… the armor and weapons tiers have no sense because there is many of them that duplicate their stats and the choice is only cosmetic. there is legendary stuff not able to repair,bugs every where,no real contents … the boss are easy, dungeon are easy and short, no repeateable contents like daily quests for taking stuffs ,no arena for combat in a pve servers that will make very interesting experience for player who don’t like world PvP. really…NO CONTENTS AND NOTHING TO DO IN THIS GAME AFTER 2 MONTHS FROM RELEASE… I play alone on PC , 3 hours/day ,and from launch I have end all and I have nothing to do. the servers are empty…you notice that? people are quitting.
Your exactly right on all of this it is quite horrible. Unfortunately the same problem exists on a totally different game called ark. However yes there is a lot to do there which helps keep the game alive. (All be it super buggy and a lot of undermaping going on.) I know of entire mega tribes that attempted to migrate to this game and were highly disappointed and quite a month after playing the game. I’ve been level 60 since week 2 and basically playing pve on a pvp server. Its utterly pointless. Thats not the only issue this game is going to have now as of the E3 announcments! There is a Triple A survival game coming out in November! I want to see this game work i love the concept but at this rate come November that will be the final nail in the coffin that is if the game even survives that long. The price to keep these servers up has got to be draining company resources that are not coming back up. So if they do not do something soon this DLC which isn’t quite cosmetic as i just recently checked it is the only cold protection armor with encumberence which makes it wonderful for grinding in the snow. Will have all been for nothing and people will have wasted money on this game that is rapidly dying and decaying!
I’m glad the midsummer events in Sweden had me busy so I wasn’t in game, buying the DLC like I planned. I was exited about the DLC and even remade and leveled up my character as Khitan.
Now I’ll just hold off on getting the DLC until I hear I can use it without gimping myself.
As it has been stated. cosmetic is equal.
If you want this gear to be on par, first of all you have to have exceptional versions.
i don’t understand why it is not equivalente to existing item as they say many time :
So do you love this game or p2w?
as they did not speak yet, maybe it’s just bug on value.
But we need to wait and see what they gonna say.
stay tuned
Nice … you ignored every other item in this DLC and how numbers are skewed the other way there! Because that doesn’t align with your P2W cries!? What sane person would fork out 10$ for a single door!?
hmm… so there are no t3 dlc doors in this game, ok
I think if we are talking about cosmetic DLC it should be skins that you can aply to any given armor or weapon and have got original stats but different look. That’s all.
here in cold Russia it cost 299 rouble - less than $5, so we are change all entrance doors to the new ones
Or you could also read what some other nice people have said… without assuming that everoyone here forked out 10$ for a single ****ing door (beautiful door)! Also not everyone plays PvP on official servers or PvP period!
… and what’s your problem in that case??! You got your shiny new armors and weapons - i got my new p2w doors -) for $5 ;D
I thought I noticed the dlc gear had been nerfed from the stats advertised in the pre-dlc-patch… didn’t take too close a look though. For the people crying about p2w, it was never p2w as preexisting gear was already better, ie obsidian, dragonbone, and telith, silent legion (all rather easy to get). Also, I can craft khitan gear and hand it over to someone who did not purchased the dlc. It also took more extravagant materials to make (gold dust). Certainly looks cool, but probably wont use the Khitan stuffat level cap, which is a bummer.
That’s my problem though… i didn’t get my new shining armor or weapons… i got gear that is below advertised tier!
Cosmetic DLC doesn’t have to be material waste gear… it can be aesthetically pleasing and still be functional/viable/useable without being overpowered (or as many cry P2W).
Our official PVE-C server has been down and broken since the DLC. 3 days it’s been so unstable it does not stay up longer than a few hrs then locks up. At what point do we realize all the effort made talking about the DLC minor issues while the MAJOR issues like not even being able to play are happening right now??? With so many bugs, this dlc has made the bugs even worse so that a person cannot even log onto the server to play now… I wish I could even make some of the DLC. But no one can even get on the official server long enough to craft it???
When do we fix the engine in the car, before talking about the paint job?
Or is the plan to keep baiting the customer into this type of conversation while we ignore the fact that the game barely functions properly on a good day. Seem like politics in a nutshell… Just pay money for nothing and keep hoping for something.
Well the dlc means nothing if the purges don’t work, the combat systems are laggy, you can raid with a clan because of hard disconnects. Thralls on follow fatal error… and on and on. And now we are talking about cosmetics? Ugh priorities folks.
Also valid concern (I also have posted a few nice screenshots after the latest PS4 hotfix in appropriate thread) but off-topic here though. DLC already happened… people have paid money for it… and are expressing their concerns with that here.
But that’s the thing not everyone is experiencing all those issues… I play on PS4… on a private server… we have purges (sadly nude only purges though… clan mate likes his nude thrall collection though 
)… server is stable (only two crashes in a month and half)… rarely experience combat lag (after June updates).
It’s not off topic because the paid dlc made the game unplayable for some of us. So it’s part of the issue. And when I say unplayable I’m serious, many servers are now stuck in connection loops and people have had full days of not being able to connect… unfortunately it’s not off topic for people that paid for the dlc and cannot even get online to make it. Thanks for your time😆. And I appreciate this thread. Again it comes down to adding problems on top of problems before dealing with original problems. It’s all the same monster. Anyone who runs a business understands that’s like not paying taxes… eventually the tax man comes and shuts the company down for not keeping proper paperwork. Same thing here. Need to get the original problems fixed or they will never ever have it right for anything they do after.
Ok… with that i agree… when you frame it like that!
