It could be that I have 170+ hours post-launch and my frequency is high enough, who knows. We don’t need to be in opposition here, as I said earlier it needs to be repaired.
“Recent Activity 242.2 hours past 2 weeks”
This is for Conan Exiles alone. Should this not be enough play time to get at least one purge?
I don’t think we’re entirely in opposition, I’m just trying to point out that this system is completely broken for a lot of people and I doubt I’m the only one that considers it to be game breaking. But maybe I am.
purge not working on Server: Official server #1125 PvP - g-portal.com
purge is anounced and defeated message within seconds, full purge meter for days. I expected a hotfix this friday, I still cross my fingers.
My server is not getting Purge either.
New patch and no news of Purge Fix.
Just survived a purge on my neighbours house. Nothing but archers. Was easy enough to defend with 4 or 5 of us. The poor clanless dude by himself was struggling.
But it lasted 2 hours and the update was the only thing that stopped it just now.
There was loot bags the size of a rocknose with 500 stacks in them.
I hope its over when we can log back in.
Well looks like they are working on many fixes! This is from today’s update:
" "Tascha Community Director
"In this case, for the hotfixes, our next focus after stability will be server performance and anti-harassment game mechanics.
As a first approach, we are looking at mechanics/functionality that will address the issue of players using placeable objects for griefing purpose or to claim wide areas of land easily."
So I am sure we will get purge fix soon! I also want it working “today” or “on release” but since that’s not possible, lets just hope for the best! 
Sounds like fun!
It was.
There were bodies and blood everywhere.
So many the lag was terrible.
1 swipe with derketos kiss broke the blade and netted me 60 slivers.
Dude who was purged went from level 27 to 41.
I’ve been purged once since launch…my meter is at the second bar and not moving anymore…I’ve seen in global people talking about the purge starting and no npc’s showing up…then getting the message of it being defeated… official server 1517
Yep, I do have 3 big bases now, in different biomes, and now im not even getting fail purges (warnings only with no mobs). My meter just doesnt unfill, or no purge happens at all xD.
Its not like everybody else in the server is suffering purges non stop, so I really doubt those daily 25 purges are really happening.
at this point I guess once purges are somewhat fixed it people will be dissapointed because the thralls will not be able to craft the armor they suppose to craft plus purge difficulty settings on officials will make it impossible to obtain the thralls people are looking for I guess. I also think that the community “conclusion” that specific Thralls only can be optained by capturing during purge is not a feature but a bug. They are just not spawing as they suppose to.
No haventheard and sen anything about a purge in my official server.
typing out of my ■■■■ here,… I think that all the noobs will ragequit once purge is working because they are ill equipped to defeat the purge (after the buff) and they will simply lose their base. This may be one of the reasons FC is not “fixing” one of the main launch features they want to keep the noobs happy. I do understand …
Yes fitst they have to fix the thralls so you have somthing to defend whit when the purge finaly come.
Makes some sense, as I have been preparing like crazy well defended bases for purge, t1 base in river, t2 base in swamp, t2-t3 base in savannah…after meeting one or two half working purges, I can see many many bases getting wiped by it if it worked 100% since release xD.
And only because of one thing: the boss wave. Bosses are not very well balanced for small groups or single players (the skull key dropping ones, or dungeon ones) and the same happens for purge bosses.
I can make a very well defended base (I play lots of tower defense games and make crazy bottlenecks, wall layers, place dozens of thralls etc) and it will rape all the mob waves, but the boss will one hit everything. Same if I try to defend it solo.
So maybe they are fine tunning this. By now im split between the “I need purges to enhance my gampeplay after almost 1 month of playing pve non stop” and “but I dont want my base to be wiped by an unbalanced purge while im at work” xD.
you are confirming my point with your experience. this would help with server performance I guess XD less buildings, … less players, … better performance XD
On my PS4 server I’ve managed to have the Purge happen once and it was a complete joke.
Besides the fact that it’s the little Imps for the first desert zone (which couldn’t hurt a fly) they attack the first structure you make, meaning that if you built a house way out somewhere the Purge happens there and not where you are currently at.
No purge siince go-live on our private server. Purge meter’s been maxed out the entire tiime.
i got 2 purge !
Omg yes 
i think purge is bugged like journey step wear ligth armor, depend on server localisation
Purges do generally work in my single player game, but they frequently glitch in one way or another, which maybe depends on the layout and location of the outpost that is targeted by the purge, and the fact that npc’s can choose an attack path that keeps them to far away from your outpost, and/or get lost or stuck somewhere.
Aside from those problems, these settings sort of work for me:
To get the purge meeter to fill quickly,
put Purge Trigger at a low value (e.g. 100)
put Purge Update Frequency at a low value (e.g. 10)
- works opposite of what the tooltip says, it is actually update interval.
Then to have a large chance of actually getting a purge,
put Purges Per Day at a high value (e.g. 24)
- optional: manually edit “PurgePeriodicity” in \conansandbox\config\DefaultServerSetting.ini (I tried 60 which seems to make the purge system go haywire, resulting in multiple purges at the same time)
