well i can say i spend thousends of hours playing conan exiles…
but i never was that dissapointet then now from how the game direction wents…
decaying items wich cant be repaired again focus on stupid 1 to 1 fighting…
conan exiles is a great platform to hock up mods wich do what funcom aint capable of to do… insert lore and fun to the game… honestly the game is called conan exiles, but it has to do with the lore noting in comon then the name and the npc in the tavern… and well that npc aint be anything impressiv as conans life and story was…
looking back on the age of sorcery what do i see, i see overpriced bazaar items, i see incomplete building sets, i see lots of old bugs not fixed then years… a magic system wich is mostly garbage to use, take way to long to cast, looks nice but to slow…
well 2 spells are nice to have, but the rest is just garbage not usefull in any point…
now i see age of war and i laugh… Honestly…
why? i can tell u, i played games in the past wich had war, wich felt like war, games like LineageII were u together with 400 other players storm a castle with the same amount of enemys and pull huge maschines of war to tear down the walls… fire from the walls rain of arrows… the Funcom way is war on a epic 1-20 player realm… wooooohhhh…
i feel so backward but honestly funcoms server cant deal with more people cuz the code was never written to deal with many items and players… the Moment u have add deco on ur base the game starts lagging, the moment u have to many players the server cant deal with the game is lagging…
yes yes i saw the video were funcom was putting lametta on theyr heads but speaking the truth.
why did conan exiles need that much memory its becaus shadow and lighting its becausause of regions so bad u dont want to play ther… and most of all cuz of lazy painters, wich dont waste a thought on rendering graphics down… if a flower takes gigabytes on memory u can imagine what happens if u enter a flower field, or bases wich use alot of deco items…
over years grass is growing through the foundations like the treefoundation, if u add more treefoundatins together u gain gaps so big u can pass through the walls cuz they no longer interconnect with eachother, all those new fance building parts dont fit well together with the old ones…
the desiners lamettaed on them no longer grass throught the foundation and no rain through the roff, and now now u have rain snow sand even comming new stormgalss bazzar items, cuz, again work is not thought trught not delivered well not polished only put in fast to pull out money…
since years we wait for the rest of arena building parts, what did we get, stormglass if u buy siptah and u have to buy it again cuz it was incomplete to… some buildingparts up today miss parts to build it right, some miss the squares some the triangles some have no roof and some still have very bad connection points…
for me the hole age system was a big annoyance, because i put to much stress on those people wich add all the fun to the game wich hold me personaly in the game, honestly vanilla conan is lame, noi story no conan lore no nithing only a plattform for that, to add,
and everytime i see the devs putting lametta on little things and picture them as great they have no glimps of whats possible if u have a decent modder wich thought things through more deeply…
instead of using the power of the modder scene funcom does everything to destroy this scene, this constant age updates and hotfixes for bugs added with the ages… put alot stress on the modder scene, so since age of sorcery alot have given up and let theyr projekts die they supported with love for many years…
honestly if my most important modders give up, i will leave this game like hundets of playrs in the past to, cuz vanilla conan ist for me nothing then an platform were u add things on wich make the game realy great, cuz the vision is so opposite to the devs Game Vision…
and please PLEASE stop delivering us Bugs and sell them as cool…
like the chainwall wich is destroying thralls if they are added to it…
i can understand why u dont make banners selfediding, cuz i know that some people will add alot adult stuff on them, but honestly dont sell thist game of blood and gore were u hack limps away as childgame, so in this point i cant understand the twisted thinking of the devs…
for me the banners are al bigh laugh… sorry to say graphics on them are childisch as painted by a child the hole eddidign and stuff part is… like a computerpainter goes back into te early 80 first computergraphics… banners are nothing new and i have seen beautyfull ones in the modder scene, what funcome put out is just primitive laugh compared to them… sorry to say…
i dont need steady updates in warefare, i need most of all stability and this is gone since the ages system… as the designer says we dont wipe servers because that the main point people turn theyr back and go…
let me tell u one thing, i havent found this scecret disscord conan exiles channel the lead designer was dreaming about… cuz there is none, not u can find ofer a discord search…
stop listening on forums to players wich dont play the game, people wich spend hours in forums dont play and dont love the game, do it like other good games do it, ask the people in game, give them in game direct access to talk about bugs they see, give them a system were they feel listened to…
in all this years i allways see funcom does the complete opposide of what the players want and do…
yes yes we wanted magic, but not like this, look at the modder scene who thy did magic thats usefull thats beautyfull, funcoms way of sorcery is not usefull in fight, golems diashow around stuck on every stone, and put alot of laag to a server… all this moving parts and fancy lights put laaag to the server…
this time see a battle pass that holds only 1 interesting item, and for that the hole battle pass ist garbage for the money… the bazaar items are still to expencive, and feel like a betrayals if u have to buy item XY in parts like oh we have forgotten those and now we add it to gain more money for it, i was fine with the DLC System, but i was expecting maps to be improved, simptah as example is still missing the fire and ice regions… and has way to much dark places and bad weather, i would love to see this map get cheaper so more people could play on it, cuz i love that map, well i loved the old map were npcs fell from the sky i dont like the new form after changing everything, so a state wich is just pure grind now…
yeah chests riches a room of gold … and i can do what with that stuff, nice to see i have alot of money but what can i do with it, after walking a felt hour back to home i noticed the unique chest i had to carry, didnt add to the chestroom. cuz i couldnt place it, only let it fall and then its just a random item that decays away… great job…
i wish conan exiles would get more of the conan lore, actualy its only scratsching the surface, 96% of its lore aint even in the game, or in the storys… or have any relation to it…
i saw a lot of lametta on the devs head cuz of this new age, but honestly it gave me absolutly nothing,
i never in the past had that feeling that is stuff nobody wants…
and most annoying part ist decaying items u cant repair nobody wants that,
its just a mad mans dream how to rob peoples fun …
i as example love range fight, and i love pve , i was never a brainless honk wich put himself into a horde and waiting to get slaughtert… so all this new fighing stuff is completly uninteresting for me
so next time u have great ideas about the game ask the people wich love it to play, those people u can find playing it, but they are not on the official vanilla servers anymore, most play on modded servers, were the fun is…
conan exiles has a very good comunity and very honest loving modders, it pain me to the heart, see funcom walz all the years over those people and completly ignoring them. but allways say they would listen they would pay attention but then do the opposite…
good games ask the people wich love it, and thos people play the game they dont run into fourms, people only run in forums if they have problems dont like stuff or just want to cry around… those wich love the game play it, so ask the playing people not allready dead players wich have given up on the game… good games do that, they ask people in game and they put feedback systems in game were u can deliver bugs on a silverplate for the devs… here in conan exiles u allways have the feeling the devs only talk about communication but completly ignore the comunity…
nothing has changed since funcom left steam and killed half of the playerbase with the FTL Bug with the to old OS bug, with the anticheat bug, with the launcher bug, with the ping bug, and and and,
u guys remember why steam was created, cuz u dont have all this bugs… steam was made to make it possible to hover abouve this problems…
i will never understand why i have to download the game overe and over and over with every stupid update, good games use Veryfy and only change whats changed saving bits and bytes saving time and stripp stress from servers… funcom needs gigabytes to load only to change a + to - … somewere in code… an all this pictures way to big not rendered down, wich cost so much traffic…
in linageII u got big Chapters that rendered the hole world, but u could laod it in a few min u never had to relaod the hole game again resinstall check it for bugs, and reinstall it again and again…
u can say alot about NCSoft but those people know how to deal with people… funcom on the other side, shows they dont care… and dont listen… and if u read the ocmments on steam on every update and post from funcom it feels so different from what funcom tells…
