FUNCOM YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THIS & TAKE ACTION! 📢

Conan Exiles General Discussion Feedback
83

You are going up against several issues:

Giving Funcom more money, assuming the game will ever be sufficiently ported to the PlayStation. This one does not consider the PlayStation port of Conan Exiles to be sufficient. Given how well they care for this game and community, no thank you.

Then there is the concept of the game.
This one has as little affinity for drug dealers as this one does slavers. And that’s the entire concept behind the game, become the biggest drug kingpin of psychic cocaine. Whereas slaves is only one aspect of Conan Exiles and the story is about freeing oneself of slavery to a sorcerer…
Dune Awakening is about the Spice.
Full stop.

Getting invested in another game by Funcom. Even if it were free, the way their previous (and current) product are handled, this one doesn’t want to tie their enjoyment of play experience to Funcom’s demonstrable care and attention to detail. Furthermore, it’s an always online PvP focus game. This one has played two games that featured PvP from Funcom. Following the trend set, this one expects an easily exploitable system on insufficient servers, constantly being adjusted by people who don’t give a fig how it impacts flow of gameplay. Then there is the magnificent moderation of servers we have seen.

Also, this one prefers Sword and Sorcery to Sci-Fantasy.

Lastly, it’s a sandbox. Literally.
This one does not enjoy desert biomes unless it is Dark Sun.

Poke this one when it’s Athas, rather than Arakis, online.

I‘m a 100% with you on this!
The sole reason why we are still around in CE is the time and effirt we already spend, and the fact that they got it to work pretty well…
… BEFORE that whole ages crap and broken bazaar.

Even IF i was intrested in the dune franchise, i would NEVER EVER buy another FC - product unless they fix CE.
Why should i force myself through the same shÂĄt again?!

They managed to fool us again with the statements they will improve the quality and communication, and of course we thought they might learned a lesson… finaly

But nah, the game is just as broken as before.
Bullcrap from the bazaar is still broken and buggy, just like the new stuff they sell.

I hope we find something else to play together, because i really like the people i met here.
Especially LostBrythunian , stelagel, sestus2009 and Croms_Faithful .
But of course there are many more like Kikigirl , CodeMage , DanQuixote and a bunch of other people wich play on different platforms, but i would be happy to hang out with at some Point! :blush:

However, that’s another dilemma right there, i‘m not sure if i want to keep my private server… someone is always frustrated with CE and doesn’t feel like playing :sweat_smile:

If I keep it it’s only for the people.

(Space marine2 has cross platforming btw! :smiley:)

Anyways… more and more people leave because it’s frustrating.
@Wak4863 is the biggest content creator for CE atm, but even he said in one of his most recent videos; “he doesn’t report bugs anymore because he feels like it’s pointless”

What does it tell you if the guy with the most views, the guy who propably did the most advertisement and was more loyal than most other people… states something like that?!

Some of you might noticed i didn’t comment or take part in discussions lateley, i read a lot and left some likes but that was it.

Just like many other franchises, (star wars, lord of the rings, terminator, alien, the mcu etc)
CE passed the state where people get upset and angry (for the most part).

Most people simply don’t care anymore… that’s where we at now… where i‘m at now.

… you need to get Monster Hunter world guys! I would happily play through it again for a 4th time with you guys! :sweat_smile::rofl:

:metal:

That’s the way of things even in games that aren’t overly buggy. Eventually you get tired of it, whatever feelings you had about it fade away and you no longer care. Next game plz, k, thks, bye.

I agree with your point to some degree, but just for clarity: Wak has critized Funcom quite often and quite loudly, especially bugs on the test live version he (and others) reported not being fixed.
If I remember correctly, he had a spat with them because they first claimed that talking about bugs in a video isn’t an official bug report and thereby doesn’t get acted upon (so… Funcom doesn’t watch his videos). After he filed a bunch of bug reports in the forum, Funcom still didn’t react, so… the frustration uttered in this video is pretty understandable.
If Funcom doesn’t even react to bug reports by one of the last content creators, they seem to either have given up on quality or lack the ability to produce quality or only listen to sources that are not the forum, not content creators, not… well, to be frank, good sources.

Personally, I believe they lack the ability, but to prevent another discussion about the meaing, importance and courteousness of the term “incompetence”, I retract that point and claim that they just want to see it all burn. :wink:

Of course i don’t think they watch his videos, or the videos of other content creators.
But the fact that they gift bazaar sh¡t to content creators for reviews, tells me at least that they‘re aware of their channels popularity.

And as a side note on that, @Eradicati0n always does a great job when it comes to his in depth analysis. And he points it out when it‘s overpriced or buggy, but FC also doesn’t care about that feedback.
(He saved me and many others lots of money i could imagine, shouldn’t that be something FC is concerned about?… they could sell much more if it wasn‘t buggy and overpriced… anyways…)

The fact that FC is aware of these channels is why we would assume they care if some of them report bugs and exploits.
They are the best way to attract new players, but nope…
FC doesn’t seem to understand that nobody wants to join a disapointed community and their broken mess of a theoretical game.

The sheer number of threads @Croms_Faithful found of people, reporting they can’t play the theoretical game at all (including this very thread) is remarkable.

Is anyone able to give me a status of the game from all three platforms? As far as playability, percent completedness, or any other metric you choose.

Also, as I am considering my options lately, is it safe to say the Xbox platform is relatively safe on Official Servers? Am I still able to do the Xbox Game Pass workaround so that I could play “safely” from my PC?

Many thanks in advance. I am carving out some time to evaluate @Croms_Faithful’s quite comprehensive list of issues, and wish to maximize my efforts.

I only play on PC and not so much lately so can’t speak to most of that. I haven’t even begun either quest for Freya/Lui Fe. Otherwise things are good overall. I’ve lost one thrall to dying for apparently no reason though may have been a nearby rocknose, hasn’t happened again since I blocked his spawn point, and had one thrall disappear into the ether but using the rescue option brought them back.

Lost some thralls and inventory to some ranger but nothing I haven’t already replaced though that could have been a lot worse to be sure. Whether that sort of thing is still possible I can’t say. No patch so I would assume that it is.

Well, Conan Exiles is no longer on Xbox Game Pass. Xbox is also lacking the hot fix that PC and PlayStation received not long after AoH released. It’s stable and I’ve had no issues with it since I turned off Living Settlements in my SP game. Officials on Xbox are safe from Power Ranger wannabes, Living Settlements is on so crafters might go MIA on Officials afaik

Today marks a very ‘special’ anniversary for me. What is this significant milestone you ask? As of today it has now been 21 days since I was last able to play Conan Exiles. Oh and also 3 weeks since I requested assistance on the issue from Customer Support, which remain unanswered. Still I am not even among the worse affected. Other poor members such as @Varehma are probably well in excess of one month now. And I am going to try my best to reply to you and other members as soon as I can, but real life has been insufferably busy as of late.

This is utterly unacceptable, I should be able to put the disc in my ps5 and play the game. And it ahould not be on wonderful people like @Barnes to try and solve the problem while Funcom ignores us!

PS- thankyou so much Barnes.

Hello; I don’t know if you tried it. But you should try.

The game’s starting cinematic may be a problem. remove it.

Find the file in the right place. location varies by platform.

DefaultGame.ini

bWaitForMoviesToComplete=False
bMoviesAreSkippable=True
-StartupMovies=
-StartupMovies=StartupUE4
-StartupMovies=StartupNvidia
-StartupMovies=CinematicIntroV2

Not an option for any of the many console users suffering from this issue - see the opening post of the thread

Is there an option to add a startup command for the console? Adding a startup command is available on Steam PC, maybe on the console as well.

99

Consoles don’t work very much different today then they did 40 years ago. Its effectively put the game in and click play. You get what you get. The only thing modern consoles can do is download games and updates. But the player only gets to click play.

To do anything more requires altering the system but Sony and Microsoft consider that forbidden and don’t like to let altered consoles go online.

sorry to say this @AndyB because you are a great guy,

but we kinda need more action and more involvement, there are SEVERAL important issues that you guys seems to ignore. like ALL the time. what can we do in order to get more involvement? something we can see …

i undertand dune is important, but the company you work at should not abandon this game, at least without notice.
