Truth to be told, from my PvE eyes, the PvP in Conan Exiles does feel wrong, both in the way you and the others describe it on this forum, and in the way it is displayed through streams (Twitch, Youtube…).

If I roughly summarize the pieces of information I gathered by listening to PvP players, in Conan Exiles you:

  • use spears
  • Super Mario jump
  • maximise your encumbrance
  • fast travel with potions

I’m not even speaking of the cheats like flying/undermesh bases… Even in a world without cheaters, most of the players look to be fighting the same -censored- way with the same -censored- spears in the streams. It doesn’t look like PvP with stats the individuals spent time to work on. Nor does it look like a PvP game in which all weapons are balanced and you have to choose your favourite one to fight off the enemy. It looks like a game in which the players have NO OTHER CHOICE but to choose the spears, Mario Jumps and so on, to not fall too far behind the other players. A pack of sheeps following each others, it’s what PvP in Conan looks like in the eyes of an outsider like me.

Horse feathers. I cannot agree more with the way you described it.
