Conan Exiles is SUPPOSED to be a SURVIVAL CRAFTING game.
Go back to your Youtube channel from when You announced Conan Exiles and watch every video during Early Access development. Go back and read all of your Early Access and shortly after release news posts. Give particular attention especially to the DLC release news posts as well.
You’ll find that the game has kind of lost it’s way and ran in the opposite direction of your vision. That Conan Exiles is supposed to be a savage and difficult SURVIVAL CRAFTING Game.
I agree with you m8, instead of a proper game what we got is a game that is now a dumpster on fire, unnecessary stuff left and right, things that the game doesn’t really need are being added in (not talking about the tavern stuff, that is kinda nice). Important mechanics removed or changed/altered in ways noone asked for.
Age of Sorcery was I guess the better Conan Exiles. This Age of War so far had one thing nice that new tavern thing. Other than that Age of War is bad. Since it dropped I experience horrific npc rubberbanding outside single player/co op. Every server I tried out had the same rubberbanding, didnt matter if the average ping was through the roof or as low as possible. Doeasnt matter which server from which host, (self made/gportal/official gportal server/ any other server from any other hosting service) have this rubberbanding and through the help of a few friends I got to the conclusion its not exactly an issue on my side, its more like a game side issue. But Funcom refuses to fix something like this, its more important for them to mess up the combat system or mess up something else that noone is asking for.
I agree about the bugs and issues with rubberbanding, was fighting the crocodile boss and the komodo dragon boss in the dregs a week ago on my own home server and I was being hit by the bite attack despite having clearly dodged out of the way. So it’s definitely not a ping issue but something that got screwed up in the coding from one of the Age of War updates.
I’d also like to say Funcom needs to also go back and rewatch all of their old Livestreams they did during Early Access if they have them archived somewhere. Those were where Joel Bylos explicitely stated things like the Bazaar and Battlepasses would NEVER be introduced into Conan Exiles and that monetization would ALWAYS be done through DLCs…but conveniently you can no longer pull those up on Twitch.
