Hi, I recently started playing connan exiles and noticed this game.
So I wanted to ask since it’s an MMO:
(I would write more but I can’t right now, also, I am using my phone right now which makes writing a pain in the a##)
What were the solo dungeons?? I remember something like that being mentioned s few times by my friends.
I have to add my opinion on number 4: framerate drops significantly the more players or npcs are on screen with names, details and levels over them (3d font) and with all particles on. For big pvp fights and pve raids, you have to limit particles to myself only and, if you disable names, details and levels over players (healthbars don’t really affect fps), you will get better fps too. I’m talking fps dropping under 20 if you don’t perform these adjustments.
Also, the game will crash often when run in fullscreen mode (bb gsync), but I rarely get any crashes in borderless / windowed fullscreen.
I run fullscreen, never crashed once. It might be so if you have all settings on ultra.
I’ve never noticed any difference in terms of framerate whether I have everything on Low or High (or maxed out). The biggest difference is what I mentioned in the other post. But maybe you are right and some settings do trigger the crashes.
Dead Man’s Hand, Isle of Iron Statues, The Breach, The forgotten City and The Refuge of the Apostate and basically the whole Vanaheim expansion are solo dungeons where you can get daily rare trophies for epic khitai gear (Amount depends on wether you beat the HM version or not).
There are some more like the Villas but they are used for leveling.
There is an in game store, but as others have said you don’t really need to use it. I’ve never had to.
Having a sub will give you extra XP and the extra AA point each time you level up. Neither are really deal breakers as F2p / Premium players can build up ‘little points’ via kills to earn AA points too. In addittion everyone gets AA points via the daily log in bonus. In case you don’t know AA points allow you some customization over your characters strengths and attacks. Yes the VIP player will gain more, but not such that F2p players can’t compete.
There is 1 expansion: Rise of the Godslayer a lvl 80+ zone, and there are 3 Adventure packs; Turan a lvl 50-55 zone that is very nice as an alt leveling area for those levels, Vanhiem a not so good pack but it levels with you starting at lvl 20 and some have used it to level to 80 without even entering the rest of the game, and Dragonspine a lvl 80+ zone.
I’ve made it to lvl 80 multiple times 99.9% soloing. I’ve grouped in the starter zone to kill one of the bosses and to do an escort mission but those were more convenience, not mandatory as I could (and have) done them solo, and I’ve done 1 or 2 group dragons in the 70-80 range. You can solo what you want all the way up to lvl 80 but you will miss most dungeons. One of the nice things about dungeons is they have 2 settings, you can do them on level or later one above level. Oh there are two ‘mandatory’ quest that has to be done grouped. One was originally the lead in / intro to the Godslayer Expansion. You don’t have to do it, but most do and it’s probably one of the easier one’s to get a group for. The other is given by Conan to kill a Dragon and that one comes up quite often too as everyone does it.
With my older computer I had to keep the graphics at med to get acceptable FPS to play, now that it’s more up to date I’m still running on Med just because it seems to be smoother for me. Lag and Rubber Banding still exist in the game so I think everyone gets to enjoy those from time to time.
PvE is where the bulk of the pop is at, but as an older game the pop tends to be heavier on the high level side. The starter island’s pop varies from empty to decent, just depends.
There are raids and players can convert dungeon groups into raids. Generally you can’t solo them even as a lvl 80, but there are solo dungeons; Slaughter House is one, some guys house in Old Tant is another.
** Once in game you can open a quick travel panel and one of the sub-set’s lists all the solo dungeons. (Garrus-N7 - here’s your answer too).
Another solo dungeon for 80’s (not rare trophies tho) is Slaughterhouse cellar… Everyone forgets about that place lol.
As I said, there are others like the Villas (Attillius’ Villa for example) but other than getting trash loot to sell (obsidian eggs) from there they are kind of… useless on level 80.
