Purge is going on for me, maybe a bit too much though 
(private PVP server)

Ahhh yeah, that was so good!!
Private server, PVP, 20 slots, 2 weeks with no actual purges. Clanmates have seen the purge warnings, then the purge defeated messages, but no purge.

I hope not, I am just not ready yet, I hope they can balance it more for players depending on more things like level, tier level, clan, total thralls owned, etc .
Ok so I see this is a very widespread issue. I wonder if devs will show up here to confirm they are aware of it, or maybe not but a fix is in the works, because I see only a very few have it working as intended, while many have had false purge alarms since the release two weeks ago, clearly showing purge mechanic is pretty broken.
Can keep waiting for a fix, if one is hopefuly coming, otherwise pve lost big part of its appeal for me! If they fix it “soon” it will be great! but if it starts working once we are t3 / after playing a month and not since start, its already a lost opportunity, so that’s what I thought we should begin reporting this issue the best we can, who knows, maybe they have no idea about this bug yet xD
thanks for answers!
Thanks again Joel Bylos for your answer, it looks like “The Purge Guy” is looking into it XDD

Haven’t had one on the private server I run either, not since release. Pve - c server, Purge amount per day set at 24, trigger value is low ish at 3000, (lowered to try to get it to work, but no change).

I had a weak purge come at my starter base like a week ago, it actually started attacking a nearby shack that someone else built nearby lol but I was able to solo all of the NPCs no sweat.

PC/SP here. There are MANY problems with the purge, many of which also come from general bugginess
-
When I stop playing in SP, by definition I “stop the server”. The Conan world is not 100 persistent, when I restart it, many things are reset, like camps, resources, and the Purge meter.
-
Once I had it the purge announcement, but since I was going to bed I didn’t want to spend another 30 minutes playing. Of course after starting the game the next day, the purge was no more.
-
Since then, with default settings, I never got the purge meter reach the purge launching status.
-
I’ve tried starting many purges from the console. None of them ever finished normally. There is always at least one mob that sinks through the ground, and keeps walking there out of reach of swords and explosives, so the wave, sometimes the second, sometimes even the first, cannot be finished, so the purge times out after the allotted time in purge settings.
-
FFS, it’s been asked a zillion times, can someone @Funcom finally answer whether it’s the base location or the purge level settings that take precedence when defining the max purge level?
Here it comes my funny update XD
After playing since release day, without experiencing a single purge (but many “failpurges” where I only got warnings)…
I did yesterday experience my first Purge!
It was a wave of black gorillas, which got the 10 minutes warning (despite it told me grey gorillas came xD) and effectively started 10 minutes after the warning (by first time ever!)
Once defeated, I got a message like “gorillas are now regrouping” and then no more waves. So yeah, I can absolutely confirm it can trigger, my base is accessible, but its still bugged, as it didn’t trigger the following waves, but just one, and also didn’t reset / empty my Purge meter…
What is your purge duration setting?
G-Portal private Server. PS4 - 10 Slots - 4 Players at the Moment - 1 Clan
We´ve build 2 Bases yet, both are runned by 2 People. Purge is working as it should i guess. When the Meter is Full we get the 10 Minute Warning. Then we have to defend one of our Bases for 30 Minutes. In that time we have to deal with several waves of enemies. Some stronger some weaker. After the last Wave we get the message that we´ve won or lost the purge. We lost it ones, cause a bloody sandstorm came during the purge…
Greetings
thanks for your answer, the problem is, afaik, ps4 still has a previous patch, so maybe you are experiencing the working purge patch that released with game xD
We can safely assume “the purge guy” wasn’t looking into it at all before this tweet.
So I hereby proclaim the 23 of May the “official” “Purge fixing” start date on Funcom’s side.
Let us wait and see how long would it take to “fix” something, that was “tested” for months before the official release and was advertised as full game feature available on release .

It worked for me post release. A bunch of imps attacked my starter base. Private server with default settings.
Works fine on my dedicated server. Had a Purge last night.
When you get up the message that it’s starting you need to open up your map and see where it is indicated to take place. There will be a red crossed swords icon.
If you have several locations with buildings it may attack there.
for the first two it was not working at all seems like after the patch they did on Friday it fixed it.
they release purge patch juste befor official release, so purge was not tested (by community)
