It’s the same on the Xbox platforms. The game is not even remotely playable on the Xbox One, hasn’t been for at least 12 months to be honest. It should really be changed to Series X/S only at this point. Just as it should be PS5 only over on that platform.

Oh boy I am sorry to hear that. Many months ago I tried to bring it up in a peaceful (so I thought) way and it blew up into ganging up, plus an enormous disagreement. There are some people who really don’t think the game should still be supported on our consoles, and I think that’s dead wrong.

I think the real issue is when updates come out there is hope among pvp community they will finally add a new wrinkle that has a balancing effect, and when it doesn’t, people think the new mechanic broke pvp. But you can"t break what has been “broken” for a few years now.

This one would disagree.
Your earlier post was not too critical.
If was entirely valid.
Your commitment to a civil and balanced presentation of valid points is laudable.
You typed in irritation and anger. Perfectly understandable considering the circumstances. However, not a thing typed was false. The tone was not up to the standards you have internally but that is tone, not veracity.
Also, it is obvious that at least a few people somewhere in the eponymous they are having understanding issues.
What compounds the issue for this one is that the monetization seems aimed mostly at Console players.
It’s all about cosmetics, and Console players are the captive audience for that. PC players can get cosmetics from mods.
Only PC players on officials are restricted in such a way… And Funcom has already clarified their opinion regarding officials.
If it weren’t a good and beloved game (under the bugs), none of us would care when things go badly

At the moment I am happy with the new stairs. But when I think of the stairs from the mods that have been around for years… Why should I buy the new ones?
With the shop I also lost hope that there will be mods on console in the future. I can imagine that the financiers will say that mods for PC must also be taken out.

I’m a PC player, but I’m hesitant to use cosmetic mods that add items to the game, because there’s always the chance that a future official update causes a database conflict with the modded item IDs and the game gets sucked into a black hole or something.
But I’m also hesitant to buy Bazaar cosmetics because, at any time, the connection to Funcom Live Services or whichever DRM system controls the “entitlement” could break, and the stuff ends up in a limbo. There’ve been enough connectivity issues with the Battle Pass and Bazaar systems even though the game itself has been running fine.
The clucked if you do, clucked if you don’t situation is unfortunate.
That does not change the fact that there are options open to some players not open to others.
If a console players wants new cosmetics, it is only official offerings.
If a PC player wants new cosmetics, the option of going for a (or making one’s own) mod is available. There may be pros and cons to that, but the option exists.
Mind you, in this case, that’s fine.
Playing on PC comes with mod options. That’s true on many games.
The counter balance is that consoles are supposed to have stronger quality control.
But from a marketing stance, who is the real target? The person who could get something similar for free or at more modest cost, or the person with literally no other choices?
That’s also a double-edged sword. PC gets releases sooner, even if they’re half-baked. Console players complain that they get their releases later, even if it means they get their product in a better shape.
On PC, I rarely actually play a new game immediately upon release. It’s better to wait for a few weeks rather than get upset over game-breaking bugs. Let the less patient people get upset over the bugs and give the company time to fix them, and then enjoy the game. This applies to Conan Exiles updates too. All updates will probably break the mods I use at least a little, as well as parts of the official game.

fixing the inventory space for the arcane thing but not the buggy animation and the bug that you cant close it with e when you have it open. Climbing is worse than before and when the sever is laggy you can die because of teleporting when climbing. and what we get from funcom? nothing not a single word

Its mostly faded now… Day 1 patches on Consoles, being larger then base install.
I mostly buy console, cause you “use” to be able to just put disc in and Jam on.
PC was mostly install, set setting, tweak some more… google why there screen tearing, or odd shadows…
wait for patches and then next day your playing. XD
If I know mods will be good, or major part of game… i’ll try and get PC. \
My Other hate, is games Update, Mods break… most of Mods get updated. And sometimes your left giving up on a save entirely cause of a major mod not updating.
This applys so many ways…LOL
I tend find I buy a game once on consoles… and there ends up being cool mods on PC, and I rebuy game. But never finish it on PC side.

I would suggest that was the old model.
The new model is realease the game across all platforms, and if it breaks on consoles what are they gonna do about it? If console players want a working version they can do extensive testing for us, console players can submit Bug Reports and if it is something simple we will fix it time permitting, if not we already have their money, just keep making chargeable placables, cabinets, armour skins, and the like.
That was the past, just release a terms of service that forces digital signature stating Game is now sold as Service, and make the new guy answer the Forums.

I think before they do that though 
- cuz they should do something like that if they want to keep it available for PS4 - but before they do that… I think they should get a team of their better programmers together and compile a giant list of “thing’s we’re gonna fix asap” along with some optimizations… and then they should assign that team on full Conan Exiles duty for at least a week. It won’t get everything sorted, but the result would be something that runs much better on ALL platforms.
I am generally not anti-developer and I’m trying to be realistic and often jump in when I see people just complaining in an unreasonable fashion, however lately I’ve been a bit disappointed as I am pretty sure for example that the last update we got days ago was thrown together by a single developer at most in 1-3 work hours… depending on the complexity of the building exploit fix since that’s the only wildcard. And I must emphasize that I really don’t like making these types of assumptions, since I know full well that things aren’t always as “easy” or “simple” as they look from the outside.
What this suggests to me though is that there is currently no active developer team assigned to Exiles, like… none… zero people… and they occasionally jump back from other projects when they have the time to do quick fixes here and there for a couple of hours a lot of which will actually be eaten up by just building the game after the changes.
So the devs aren’t lazy… they ARE working, in fact quite possibly doing overtime as well… just not on THIS particular game

I can tell you without a doubt that they do have a team working on Conan Exiles. From what I can tell its more or less the same people that have been around since at least 2.4 that I can tell, and probably slightly before 2.0 (Siptah).
I would hazard a guess that throwing more people into the project probably won’t make things go faster. Unless the bottleneck is art assets. Which I don’t think it is and that would be irrelevant to most bug fixes anyway.
Now what I am going to say is simply a hunch just from what I’ve been able to observe across all the methods they use to communicate with players (forums is only one part of many). Is things have been a bit quiet in the last couple of weeks. Usually when this happens is when they’re busy working on a bigger update. So I think we’ll see something a bit more substantial coming down. I hope that its not 3.1. Cause admittedly I don’t think all the major issues in 3.0 are ironed out yet.
Of course it won’t fix everyone’s issues. Which is kind of the rub. Everyone things their particular issue should have priority. Whether it be a bug they have that irks them or a balance issue.
What is your source?
I am wondering because while I am speculating and I could be obviously wrong, I am not basing this on the amount of communication they’re doing with the players… I am basing this on the actual work needed to change the things they changed for the last patch, which is not a lot… Even that giant bookcase “fix” is editing a single number in the datatable, while they forgot other single number edits, like the legendary armor kit, which would also be editing a single number in the datatable… (since they mistakenly used the ID of the master repair kits).
Now that would be completely fine as a patch what we got, had we gotten it 1-2 days after the last one. however I don’t understand the giant gap in between.
I will rephrase though cuz if your source is accurate then I know what might be going on… So… I don’t think anyone in particular is working on the CURRENT version of CE, cuz yes there might be people working on future content updates, the next Age or artists on the next set of Bazaar items, but ofc that’s not what I meant in my post 
As for “more people”, I only meant more than the zero who are actively working on the current version, I didn’t necessarily mean “different” people.
A handful of discord channels. I think one or two you’re apart of as well (I do know you’re in the modding discord at least, of which I’m appreciative of your contributions, even if you ask like a hundred questions a day 
). As well as Beta testing a few major patches, including 3.0.
I would say that whatever is coming in the near future is something I have no clue about, which is why I said it was a hunch. I’ve seen a past track record and so I base my assumptions there. But that isn’t any special set of knowledge. Anyone who’s been playing CE for the last few years could probably make that determination too.
But like I said, I hope it is some bug fixes down the pipeline and not simply a content update like 3.1 would likely be.
Oh, I thought you chatted about it with one of the devs or something
I do not ask a hundred questions a day… in fact I don’t even ask one a day… I typically ask a few when I’m working on something specific and I know it’s rather a waste of time for me to try and “guess” Conan specific stuff that you can’t even google when there are people there who have the answer since they’ve been working with the conan devkit for much longer, which I believe is the main purpose of that discord server. I also tend to try and help and answer questions if I can.
Yea, I hope too!
Relax I was joking
I’m just aknowledging that I saw the questions and appreciating the content of them. I’m sure I’ve asked more and definitely not as good as yours.
