In the long ago of the last Age of War cluster on summer, 2024, Funcom promised their work and communication would be better around the Conan sandbox game.
In their defense, they never said when this would start.
Now, since I have a low and suspicious mind, I conclude the whole thing was just a bandage over a truly horrible Age that has been followed by an even worse one, because all the bugs introduced and reintroduced are still active and now we have a system that, at best, adds almost nothing to the game while requiring bigger bases, which then can be reported and players banned for violating the November 2021 ToS.
Hey, at least we can still spend money in the bazaar!
Tbf, I havenât been falling through bases lately⊠though thatâs like one thing they fixed. The rest is either trivial fixes or worse bugs. Theyâve also been suspiciously quiet given all the chaos around here (thralls dying mysteriously, admin level hacks on PC pve servers, and one guy airing out his dirty laundry about some lawsuit). Itâs been a weird and frustrating start to the current Age. The question is, when are @den , @AndyB , or @Dana gonna make official statements about these (minus the last one, I donât wanna know about that)?
Once again - we are merely asking for your engagement. Please. Give us a post. Tell us whatâs going on. Catch us up on the platform update issues. Catch us up on the Living Settlement corrections and fixes. Catch us up on the companion quest bug fixes and improvements.
I still fall through bases on private and official servers. Many times it is on logon, but it happens at random spots as well.
I am glad it is not happening to you but I am not even frustrated by the lack of communication any longer. It is standard operating procedure, as are bug filled (and reintroduced) releases.
It would take so little to get the majority of the community on their side.
Weekly communication (even just a no reply announcement)
A list of bugs being tracked with status
Sadly, this appears to be beyond the will of the production and support teams.
Let this one help.
Dune is coming, Conan is irrelevant.
Even if the dev left to it has ambition, the company is not committing resources.
Itâs not just the Forums they donât respond on.
Itâs any Conan tm social media.
Meanwhile, create an account on the Dune discord and enjoy the open conversations.
Itâs truly disappointing to see things handled in this manner. Products should hold significance to its creators.
One canât help but wonder - what if, in the future, Dune finds itself in the same position as Conan Exiles is today? In such a scenario, the Dune community could be met with the same silence weâre experiencing now.
The thought is unsettling, a reminder of how easily communities can feel abandoned
Itâll never be too late for the people who are still playing this game (and more importantly buying from the Bazaar) despite failure, after failure, after failure, after failure, after failure. They know this and also know they can just tell people âweâll do better in the futureâ and people will believe it.
SURELY THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT.
Funcom has been around for 30 years now, their reputation is well known. Itâs just sad to see them take a steaming crap on the game that saved their company. They must really be confident Dune is going to be successful.
God forbid people work like everyone else, right.
Almost all real problems we have now are solutions for the phantom problems people keep talking about.
Except, of course, that they arenât âphantom problemsâ and you are just doing your usual tactic of dismissing every bug in the game that doesnât directly affect you as being âthe faultâ of the people experiencing the bug. And you wonder why no one had any sympathy for you when you finally experienced a bug yourself.
