I have been gaming for over 16 years and I genuinely cannot remember another company pulling something like this.
A group of us joined a new server. For two full days we did nothing but farm. Thousands upon thousands of materials. Stone, wood, iron, shaped wood, hardened brick, steel reinforcements – the whole grind. We spent hours after work and most of our free time building up resources so we could finally put down a proper base.
Last night we finally got there.
We spent hours building. Foundations, walls, crafting stations, storage, defenses. The base was mostly finished and we were excited to finally move on from farming and actually start playing the game.
We log in today and it is all gone.
Rolled back.
Not an hour. Not a few minutes.
Two entire days.
No warning. No announcement. No message telling players not to build. No indication that server progress was at risk. Nothing.
Do the people making these decisions have any understanding of how much time players invest into this game? We are not talking about losing a few items. We are talking about losing days of real-world time that people can never get back.
What makes this even worse is that players continued farming and building because there was absolutely no communication from Funcom. If a rollback was being considered, why were players not informed immediately? Why were people allowed to continue investing time into a server that was potentially going to be reverted?
At some point this stops being a technical issue and becomes a complete failure of communication and player respect.
I have defended Conan Exiles for years because when it works, it is one of the best survival games ever made. But situations like this make it incredibly difficult to recommend the game to anyone.
How can players be expected to commit to official servers when entire days of progress can simply disappear without warning?
Honestly, what were you thinking?
Now we have another issue.
Across multiple servers, players are reporting storage chests randomly disappearing.
The pattern seems to be that chests stacked on top of other chests are particularly vulnerable, but at this point nobody even knows what is safe anymore.
I am genuinely afraid to log in and check my base.
Think about how absurd that sounds.
In a survival game built around gathering resources and storing them, players are now worried that simply logging in will reveal that entire sections of their storage have vanished.
Some of us have thousands of hours invested in official servers. We are talking about legendary weapons, rare materials, crafting resources collected over months, thralls, armor sets and everything else that players accumulate through hundreds of hours of gameplay.
And now we are hearing reports of storage containers simply disappearing.
No raid.
No decay.
No enemy attack.
Just gone.
How does something this serious make it into a live environment?
What is particularly frustrating is that players are left trying to figure out the rules themselves because there is so little clear communication. Is it only stacked chests? Is it specific storage types? Is it related to server lag? Is it connected to the recent patches?
Nobody knows.
The fact that the community has to conduct its own investigation into bugs this severe is ridiculous.
Between server rollbacks and disappearing storage, player confidence is being absolutely destroyed. People are becoming afraid to build, afraid to farm and afraid to store valuable items because there is no certainty that anything will still be there tomorrow.
These are not minor visual bugs.
These are game-breaking issues that directly affect hundreds of hours of player progress.
The community deserves answers, a clear explanation of what is happening, and most importantly a fix before even more players lose even more time.
