This is the problem I kept repeating all the time
- the game was perfectly balanced before Age of Sorcery, all we needed was more content not remaking the game.
Just add things and leave old stuff alone. I am so upset about the purge.
You don’t like the game then go back to Sims or your sister’s Barbie instead of moaning whole day here and on reddit that the game is too hard for you.
Maybe it’s your skills not the game…
Why do you always seem to bring anything female into these discussions and paint them in a bad light?
There’s shit tons of female players in Conan and shit tons of male Barbie players.
Your misogyny is very apparent and not welcome.

True!
I don’t believe consoles will ever be so fast in pvp even if the speed is changed. You and your buddies have taken pvp fights in this game to a whole different lvl, my god, now it seems almost terrifying 
.
I believe that the compliments can easily go both sides, either to the dedicated players in this game, either to devs. You may not see it the way i do and i respect that, but your hard work and persistence in this game payed off.
Another point that’s really important to be noticed is the silly war between private servers and official. Out there the good servers are framed only from good players and not official or private.
When i see a player die and laugh, then i know that his quality is the one that i would love to play with.
G portal must upgrade, because the speed needs are obviously greater.
Closing and i won’t bother you more master, although i really enjoyed this chat, i believe that no matter how weapons will end up, you and these persons you play with or against, will find the way to make it shine nonetheless. All of you have my admiration. I wish people could understand and follow your example, because that’s the way this game should be played, with friends and “friendly” opponents under a healthy competition and in the end of the day, laughs, no broken pcs ir keyboards. Gaming should be fun and you know how to have fun, Congratulations!

Yeah…there are sooo many players that do the brutal Barbie in this game. Nothing wrong with it.
NO IT WASN’T! The game has NEVER been balanced. From my first coming onto the forums back in 2019 to now there have ALWAYS been complaints over Meta and FC not understanding PVP and this update killed this and that update over-boosted that.
There was a period of a full year of FC updates to the PVP of this game was just watching a pendulum affect because they truly tried at one point to take the PVP feedback and implement it. It was during that time when the old schoolers started leaving because they couldn’t keep up and the win-at-all-costs players took over because they just adjusted to the next thing. The only thing that is consistent is that any advantage a casual player gets in an update, the pushback and pressure on FC is severe from the vet pvpers so that it gets removed. And then everyone gets to complain about how empty official PVP servers are.

I hope you saw the friendly scene where his clanmate disconnected and the enemy stopped attacking, because of the disconnect in the stream VOD.

All of it man, the whole thing is healthy and admirable. You pvp and you crate a freaking chaos, yet you do it like flowing water and like athletes, not stubborn haters. I was watching ESPN league of legends tournaments in the beginning of this game just for this reason, to see players from both sides giving all their energy to make wonders while fighting. You are almost there, you have the skill and the mentality to play this way and people who watch to say wow!!!
I am still thrilled, congratulations!

The irony of that event is that the reason we saw the changes we did in Age of War was because Dennis and a few developers devoted time every day for a period of two months to PVPing with each other.
Players told the devs to play PVP and make changes based on that. They listened and did.
Careful what you all wish for.
Well the thing is that the devs literal job is to create a game that has mass appeal, not to create a PVP masterpiece which drives casual players away.
What’s appealing about the current state of play? Like is not having weapon hyper more fun for PvE encounters? It doesn’t seem to compliment boss fights at all. Any boss that can be knocked down just gets obliterated by mace spam because they can’t hyper through attacks, whereas bosses that can’t be stunned just end up elongating the fight by constantly breaking up the hyperless movesets of players.
The Pre-Age of Sorcery and the Age of Sorcery metas were both pretty solid. I’d even say that Age of Sorcery brought a lot of good changes to the game and made more weapons viable in PvP than ever before.
The reason official PvP servers are empty is because the core PvP gameplay loop of Conan Exiles sucks. Most raids are offline raids done by no-lives with the luxury of waiting until rival players log off for work, school, or otherwise touching grass. You spend days farming up the materials and gear necessary to compete and it’s usually gone by the time you log in again.
It’s literally Ark with more ways to build that exploit the map, and fewer players to build coalitions against abusive Alpha clans.

I sincerely hope Chapter 4 will be the last time they touch combat.
It suffered enough.
Once Age of War ends mod creators and private servers will fix Funcom’s mess via combat mods.
That sort of mentality sounds like it would be better served with an uninstallion.
If you honestly believe that they taint everything they touch, then the moment they declared variables in 2015-2016 it was screwed from the get go and the game was never going to be good, was never good, and was a terrible product from the get go. For you the game never got bad, but was bad from its inception and should simply be deleted and forgotten.
So delete and forget about it already.
Add on the overbearing enforcement of the ToC, hacking and exploits beyond building.

I welcome every other addition outside of combat.
AoW could be great if they simply expanded the previous system and fixed some issues with perks. Tavern and new pve activities may be good if they keep expanding them and won’t throw it away half-baked like sorcery.
Instead of doing some fine little fixes here and there and maintaining a working system, they decided to throw it all away and degrade it into what we have now.
So instead of expanding of current system and adding new ones a good chunk of their time will be spent on fixing a mess they created.
So for now I stay on private servers with custom combat changes and mods that provide vastly better combat than what the current vanilla system has. Who knows, maybe vanilla combat will be good again…in a year or so.
Tho I wonder what keeps you going? You didn’t quit when they borked archery and didn’t quit after your pve server died. Good for you I guess.
Weapon metas/buffs/nerfs are one thing but the major issue this game has for PvP is the bases.
Sky bases/undermesh bases/ out of bounds greenwall bases are just insane. I saw a clip from my enemie’s video compilation where he has a massive umdermesh floatung base with 100+ vaults that no one can raid. The clip was sent to zendesk and guess what? No action taken.
On the flip side if you play legit and build a base that someone decides to report you run the risk of being dev wiped and banned even if you follow the community guidelines. It really doesnt matter, funcom WILL dev wipe bases that arent blocking resources or abusing malicious landclaim methods even if those bases are under 2k pieces.
Theres no hope for this game for the near future. An entire chapter themed about War you would think it would really have a lot more to offer PvP players…nope. 3 chapters of mostly PvE content…including a tavern system. Nothing embodies the theme of War more than…taverns?
I have no problem with the system itself its whatever , congrats to the RP crowd, more content for you but an age based on war and funcom doesnt even address bases that violate the ToS.
At this point i have to assume they are too incompotent to figure out the issue that allows build pieces not to lose stability while floating.
Conan is a PvE game now. RiP
I was able to fix archery to work how I wanted it too, but that was short lived because not long after they fixed it and even went beyond my own fixes. And I’ve never owned a PVE server. I’ve admined and played on a number of PVP servers, and one short stint on a PVE server. I’m currently enjoying just playing the game and not helping admin.
As I said, good for you.
I too was able to fix the combat and make it work how I wanted and have some fun playing on the servers with those changes.
I don’t enjoy the current combat but who knows maybe they adjust the combat into something I will like and my need to use mods to still enjoy combat will just go away just like your archery fix.
All they needed to do was make it so spear didn’t stagger, then other weapons would have a chance to trade with it.
As it is now, you are at a disadvantage not using spear/bow at the highest competitive level. Spear outreaches and gets to the opponent faster.
What’s the point of other weapons then? Hyperarmor at least introduces balance.
Either spear needs nerfed, or other weapons shouldn’t be staggered by it
