And what do you mean by ragnarok, because to me that sounds like a wipe of servers :face_with_monocle:.

Ragnarok is the cataclysmic destruction of the cosmos and everything in it ā€“ even the gods

No, itā€™s a bunch of bad things happening, the world flooding, and a bunch of gods dying. The world goes on after it. Some gods survive, and some human survivors repopulate the world.

Yeah, kind of like what i am doing on my private serverā€¦ I am wiping everything except your level and recipes. Start anew for most.

74

That would be great! I know you got your hands full with all this stuff, and Iā€™m sure people donā€™t make it easy, but that would help out alot! Thanks for the feedback though @Ignasi and keep us updated when you can!

@Ignasi Thanks for the clarifications.
So fence foundations inside actual foundation blocks will be destroyed.

Iā€™m on PS4 so canā€™t check the test live server

What about fence foundations in between foundation blocks?

Say I have a 4 base foundation blocks in a 2x2 grid. Then between the base foundation blocks are a total of 4 fence foundations. Not inside a specific foundation block but between each pair of two different foundation blocks. Ultimately forming a + between the 4 blocks. So a total of 4 blocks and 4 fence foundations. Legal or illegal?

76

Should be fine

ETA: Checked for you. It is fine.

I made the grid without foundation pieces in it so itā€™s easy to visualize:

and with foundation pieces:

This is all done on the TestLive client, ie with the new building placement rules. And I believe that anything you can build from new on TestLive should also survive whatever will happen on Monday (though obviously Iā€™m in no position to guarantee any of that).

My questions are these:

  1. Iā€™m still new to Conan but not new that Iā€™m a low lvl.; can I summon more than one god at once from two different shrines?

  2. Will coins collected before this new patch for Monday for Godā€™s be deleted? Or will they remain in inventory?

  3. I heard someone say there is a time restriction after a god summon. Like 24hr waiting period?

78
  1. You cannot summon them at the same time. But you can craft the tokens simultaneously. Summoning is actually using the token, which can only be done 1 at a time for the entire server.
  2. From what most responses from @Ignasi , no, they will not be deleted.
  3. There was some discussing in forms on ideas, but as of now, Summoning god can happen 1 after the other. The 24 hours was just being thrown around by a few posters as an idea to change the use of Gods. never been mentioned by Funcom though.

overlapping building pieces

One of my signature structures are these round cheese slice buildings on rock peaks. It clearly overlaps the main building.

So Monday all my stacked structures will all implode?

Iā€™d call that a game breaker for sure

Not really , ujless you have some fence foundations splitting some of those other foundations, this is more of ā€œtrueā€ build in that you use stability correctly, and done have have founds everywhere.

What do you mean by the tower overlapping the main building? We canā€™t see the supporting structure of the towerā€™s foundations from this angle, but nothing looks amiss from this view.

Is it possible youā€™ve taken the word ā€œoverlappingā€ to mean ā€œoverhangingā€?

The AI sees in 2D, so it is stacked a top each other 6 stories deep.
We will see

Uh, dude, things get calculated for placements in 3 dimensions. Anything in this game will have x,y,z coordinates. Overhanging stuff is not the issue, itā€™s objects taking up the exact same space. Thereā€™s been plenty of examples given about what they mean when they say ā€˜overlapping.ā€™

86

Idrc about much of the changes to be honestā€¦except those arrowsā€¦ They need scrapped and reworked just a popular opinion i have also seen on YouTube as well. You bring those arrows out ā€¦youā€™ll break the game

That is not an overlapping structure. This is:

overlapp
overlapp1251Ɨ905 181 KB

Please note that thereā€™s more than one piece in that ceiling. This is what youā€™d get on normal circumstances:
overlapp2
overlapp21235Ɨ945 283 KB

As @Mikey pointed out, thatā€™s legal. This would be the illegal version tackled with the patch:

crossing
crossing919Ɨ502 96.6 KB

In this case, the fence foundations that are going through the normal foundations will be nuked. Stability shouldnā€™t be affected in most cases since the stability would rely on the remaining pieces.

Weā€™re discussing it right now, and itā€™s most likely going to be deployed tomorrow on PC and during the week on consoles. Certification is still undergoing in both console platforms, so we most likely will use this opportunity to add in a couple extra fixes into the PC patch and make it go through a few extra QA passes to ensure it releases in tip-top shape

and I waiting today for the gods to attack and nothing

Itā€™s official.
Weā€™ve rescheduled the patch to go out during this week. 48h activation buffer also confirmed for avatar summoning, meaning you will have a couple of days to get your defenses up once the patch hits your platform.
You can read about it in the official announcement here:
