I have been playing Conan Exiles for three years now. I have seen many updates but this most recent one has been the worst of them all. I could count on this game for the consistency in how the game worked with building ( I remember when you had to craft your pieces first and then place them) and when they changed that- THAT was a great change.
As for the inventory control update and the sprint it has been stressful. This game already has its challenges and stresses with combat. I have lost two thralls and their bodies disappeared immediately, therefore I lost everything that was on them. I generally don’t have major complaints in regards to updates but this is SO BAD that I HAVE to say something. Please put it back the way it was. I did not complain once about inventory before but now I have to do EXTRA to go dye something and do more work regarding that. One thing I can appreciate about the inventory update is seeing an estimation number of items I can craft. However, this has been a quite the backfire of an update for Conan Exiles in my opinion.
I do not understand why the necessity to change inventory and controls. I had very little issues before and honestly I couldn’t figure a better way aside from giving us an estimated crafting number for items to improve inventory or controls.
I have also been experiencing phasing through floors, beds, and through foundations.
As for the change in how we adjust follower behavior is OKAY. I’m not a huge fan of that or the layout but it is a little more specific.
As for the new event, I hope it’s reoccurring because I can’t be ambushed enough or farm Champions enough to get anything worth while. Too little fang out out for so little time.
I would really just appreciate having what we already had that wasn’t so buggy and broken back. I just want to have a reliable and consistent game that I can trust to jump into to enjoy. I do love the events, challenges, battle passes, etc that have been happening but messing with controls and inventory and nerfing thralls and buffing enemies AGAIN is just too much!
With the buff of enemies, I haven’t bothered fighting any deep in the volcano near the obsidian furnace because they hit far too hard and it’s not gotten any better. I have stuck to killing volcano dwellers on the outskirts and just dismantling their weapons for obsidian bars using the improved dismantling bench.
With so many enemy buffs and the continual nerfing of our thralls- it really keeps taking the wind out of my sails. If this is an attempt to make the game more challenging, well , you have really over done it. I don’t even bother with Al-Meyrah anymore because those NPCs hit so hard and respawn so fast. Not to mention how far out enemies agro now. They chase too far in my opinion. Also, thralls don’t evade like they should or follow command. These are more crit issues that should be focused on instead of changing controls and inventory.
I think that summarizes everything that has been of the biggest issues lately. This is the first update I’ve gone through that has practically made the game nearly unplayable.
