Gods are returning without important details

Conan Exiles General Discussion
23

When I read the patch notes fully and he didn’t. When he made such a huge stink over a first iteration of a testlive. When he used his platform as a means to attack the developers instead of provide actual feedback. When he used extreme hyperbole to accuse the devs of being lazy. When he has very clearly biased opinions. When this is far from the first time he’s blatantly sent his followers to flood the forums with hate to further his personal agenda.

To his credit, at least he didn’t directly link the thread and tell people exactly what to say. This time.

Firespark lost his SPARK a long time ago :slight_smile:

Ah, I see you are one of these people… Making a blatant statement like this when you have no clue how many times this guy read the patch notes, he could have read them three times. It appears you are making assumptions based on him not mentioning every single change in his video which he never once promised or claimed to do? In fact, in the beginning of the video, he mentions the three major changes he will be going over and not once does he suggest it will be all-inclusive. :confused:

You seem to have a biased agenda here as the guy simply shared some of the changes outlined by Funcom in the testive patch notes, shared his personal testing SO FAR, stated he needed to do more testing, actually mentioned that this was the first iteration (coincidence you used one of his exact words and tried to twist it?) and that he is not certain how many more are planned and made it very clear that he was sharing his personal opinions SO FAR on what was listed SO FAR in the testive patch notes and his experience SO FAR in testive.

Here you go again. The video was filled with data from his testing (did you even look at the thrall segment?) and he provided plenty of constructive feedback. I didn’t feel he was attacking anyone and I am sure there are plenty (myself included) that shared his level of disappointment in what we were not seeing in the testive patch notes. Hopefully more changes will surface or clarification on how duped Gods will be prevented from being used will be provided before this rolls out as speculation is not fun.

I certainly did not see any ’ extreme’ hyperbole in the video and to be honest, I have played this game since day one and ‘I’ think the devs have been EXTREMELY lax on getting to glitches/bugs/exploits in this game, some of which have been around for years. Whether it is laziness, lack of skill, lack of motivation, lack of tools, lack of authority to work on something…no clue but something sure has not been right with the lack of ‘fixes’ and all of the incompetent content that has been released (and eventually fixed) over the years.

To have Gods out of the game for almost a year and see two minor changes listed also confuses ME. There has to be details we are missing and we need a clear understanding of how all the duped gods sitting on official servers will be handled. We can speculate all we want but Funcom should be held accountable for answering this extremely important topic BEFORE Gods are released as we have had far too many messy God releases already, we do not need another.

Unlike you. :wink:

Although I have not seen a ton of his videos, Firesparks has always come across to me as a big promoter of this game. One of the reasons I like his videos is that he gives details/data on his testing and appears to really enjoy the game but keeps it real where he tells the good and bad. Now, some people just will not accept anything other than whiteknighting videos but some of us like the realistic stuff. To each his own I guess…

Wow, impossible for me to take you serious at this point as you have managed to twist almost every point this guy made including this which is opposite of what he did in that video. In fact, here are a few of his ending remarks some of which I shall quote here verbatim:

'This is on testlive right now so go test it out and give your feedback on the forums because I am telling you people, it is so important, they are making use of testlive, so it is so important that if you are playing on pc to jump over there and check it out. They have test live servers up, jump over there- test them out. Check out single player, spawn stuff in, test things out and the report stuff on the official forums. Give them feedback on the official forums, DON"T JUST WATCH THIS VIDEO AND GO GIVE FEEDBACK, download the testlive version of the game and go check it out, report bugs and give legit feedback on the forums."

For those that want to look the video up and see for themselves, it is titled " Gods Are Back, A Massive Nerf To Thralls + More Conan Exiles - Testlive Update"

The video does not claim to go over ALL notes as firesparks basically starts by saying there are three major changes and goes over some of the points and his experience testing, his opinions on what he is seeing and what is and isn’t stated in the notes so far.

If you are already a hater or biased to the point of really not liking the guy, his phrasing, his voice inflection and excitement ect to see actual valid points, just save yourself the anguish.

Then he willfully omitted much of them. All of which is moot anyways since there’s a new testlive that’s addressed literally all your concerns.

I am admittedly not a fan, given his previous track record with the community it’s plain to see why.

Isn’t this basically redundant since you’re the one who made this whole thread based on a so far? Which as of today is already obsolete?

Bias.

Regretfully, yes.

Demanding people be fired isn’t constructive.

So devs aren’t people? Threatening their job security isn’t an attack?

Bro the patch notes I keep saying he omitted are literally the notes that cover how they won’t be used. Please, go read them for yourself.

And it should be confusing because that’s incorrect; either because firespark can’t read before he rants, or is downright a liar.

He used to be. Now all his content is him armchair developing and sending people like you to the forums to megaphone his opinions for him, because he knows he has the power to do so by abusing his platform.

Shall we bring up the launcher video where he directly linked the thread and explicitly told people what to say? Should I quote the literal 100 posts saying word for word what he told them to say from brand new accounts? I can’t take you seriously either since you clearly don’t know about the situation and are choosing to pretend he’s a saint.

He doesn’t even go over all the notes relevant to those three things. He cherrypicks what he wants to make his video look good to people who didn’t read the full notes

Oh good, call me a hater. That’ll invalidate every criticism I have to say. I never once went after his voice or anything personal about the guy, I just expressed my frustration from him making a slanted hitpiece and you falling for it headfirst.

As a closing statement, today’s testlive adds more changes to gods so please take the time to read it yourself instead of waiting for his next video, it’ll save us both the anguish of this continuing.

They should just leave gods off if they can’t be sure its fixed properly. Recently we have had a bunch of returning players to the server I play on who claim to have 100’s of gods ready to wipe everybody out once the gods get turned back on. You know it will happen to and there is no way to contact anybody in this game to stop it. Then after the fact they will say they are turning gods back off but by then the damage is done

30

That’s the point of a testlive. The testlive makes sure it is fixed. We’re on v0.2 of this test, so be patient. We’re seeing more revisions to gods as they go

31

I don’t think the changes made to gods are a reflection of not enough done, but on trying to work out how to avoid exploits as thoroughly as possible, and a determination not to add them back in until they belive they’ve really got it right.

@Jimbo You literally twist just about everything you have addressed spinning what I say and what was said in the video to the point that it is almost humorous. Well, would be humorous if you didn’t mingle outright false statements throughout all the spinning. Due to this, I am not going to go over all of the untruths and spins in your last post as it just is not a productive use of my time. People like you feed off of this and it always results in threads becoming chaotic and spinning out of control with the back and forth attempts at correcting the twists and untruths.

With that said, I will address one of your untruths as I already stated why I created this thread and you continue to spin that as well.

First, your spew:

He is not sending people like me anywhere. As previously stated ‘I’ read the patch notes and did not see near what I expected to see concerning the God changes with them being out of the game for almost a year now. I then did some searches both on this forum and through Google and ran across Firespark’s video where he goes over some of the changes listed in Funcom’s testlive patch notes. His opinion on what he was and wasn’t seeing mimicked MINE, not the other way around as I formed my opinion that we needed more details than what we were seeing BEFORE I even found his video. MY concern on the lack of details on Gods is what led me to his video. (reread until you get it)

Your condescending closing statement about me taking the time to read notes rather than waiting for his next video, shows your lack of ability in comprehending anything I have said to you and/or shows your biased agenda in continuing to troll this thread.

If there were not untruths and twists in just about every one of your comments, I would address more but at this point, it just feels like feeding a troll.

Happy gaming

33

The most impressive part of this thread is you think it was your idea, and not him putting the words into your mouth for you.

34

Oh, one more thing… The 'me, 'me, ‘me’ victim twisting made me laugh out-loud:

I was very clear on who this was addressed to - ‘For those that want to look the video up and see for themselves’ AND this obviously is not you as you claimed to have already viewed the video even though it is difficult to tell by your comments on the content. :smirk:

NOW, I will wish you happy gaming. Thanks for the laughs

35

You don’t get to decide who has the last laugh, friend.

You’ve still accomplished nothing but praise a youtuber who spreads misinformation without backing up your defense, and the initial point of your whole thread is already moot because they’ve already put out another update about it. I would advise you let it go now.

36

Hey…thats exactly what you did, when posting on my thread b4 it got pulled for being unflattering to fumcom. Remember, you posted hateful, spiteful comments, in a tone that made it sound like you didnt read or comprehend the msg…but still felt it required your skewed opinion…try a indica next time, its the more relaxing strain…

38

the guy who’s now made 3 locked threads complaining about being banned is now telling me I’m the bad guy here

:joy::joy::joy:

39

Not bad, just uniformed, my entire point was that i was banned for a INCORRECT amount of time, like i told you twice…but for whatever reason, you cannot grasp the content in the msg…3x goofy smile emote here

40

Hey, and whyd you hide my post about you being a funcom employee?

41

Does anyone else find it odd that so many of the trolls are so very confrontational towards posters that say negative things about funcom, yet at the same time seems to praise funcom? Are they playing a different game than the rest of us? I guess they have never had a single bad experience with this game…why does the game work so well for such abrasive ppl?..

42

I believe a person’s attitude, tone, and choice of wording when discussing a subject affects the way the subject is handled. I don’t find it odd at all.

43

Then what about all of the other testlive patches Jimbo? Many of them were ricocheted off testlive and into our laps and needed countless fixes afterwards. So is this a problem with devs not getting everything buttoned up the first time? Is it the lack of the testlive community actually TESTING everything? Is it a problem with the 1 youtuber that at least shares an opinion and isn’t just showing the entire community how and where the best undermesh locations are? You have been slinging that x, y and z are all bias, but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about FS81 that is making you throw judgement in every direction. Firespark is my last resort for information about the game, but it doesn’t mean I don’t think the guys content is worth a look. More to the point, you say “That’s the point of a testlive”. As a PS4 player since launch, I can say that it’s kind of annoying that we are left to rely on a handful of likely, as you say, "biased’ players testing out only what they feel needs testing. Where myself and another streamer at least try to find the important stuff afterwards. How many patch notes have I endured that say "Fixed countless undermesh locations"Then literally just last night, I found a MASSIVE base under the sinkhole area, that has been complained about, glorified on Youtube and reddit, and yet still remains un-patched. Why? Cause testlive isn’t being used quite thoroughly. But also, the devs either need to clearly state every little facet of the what they expect to fix, or at least start skimming the forums or better yet, some of the clearly detailed messages they get sent by myself and others that look for major flaws, and work on implementing those fixes. I could not care less if gods are back or not, but I do care if they’re back and some clan can just hide everything they raid under the ground after they raid someone with one. What’s more important?

44

If you’re insinuating something, you’re not doing a great job at it. I am not employed by, or affiliated with funcom. I just enjoy their game; which it seems like a lot of the people here don’t. If you don’t, kindly go troll some other game’s forums.

45

Also, stop DMing me. You were banned for a reason, and you can’t act like the victim if you deserved it.
