Fellow Exiles, this suggestion goes out to the grim and bloodthirsty among us, and the kill counters alike. For that reason I feel that this may be well received by the PvP community. While we can take a head from animals, and a weathered skull from the undead when we kill them, there is still nothing we can collect as a trophy from defeated humans. We could argue a severed arm or leg, but those are unreliable and only stack at 1 per tile, I know some PvPers have taken to collecting waterskins and helmets, but this presents the same problem.
So thus I would like to propose that human opponents, NPC and player alike drop a âtrophyâ when we kill them. I am open to suggestion as to what it could be; an ear, a finger, a generic âfresh headâ. The possibilities all sound equally beautiful to me! Ater all, what better way to revel at our many conquests and show off our bragging rights than by showing others our many stacks of 1000 fingers, ears, fresh heads, [insert item], etc we have at our homes.
I support this great idea!
I was thinking about the heads. If it could be possible, the face, hair and any head pieces the human enemy was wearing should be featured in our âhead trophyâ. Likely, the head armor piece could be more annoying to code in order to show up, plus I was wondering how the devs would have to make a huge amount of head trophy models, for each skin color and each existent head armor piece around. It could be more of an hassle for them honestly lol.
But if it was possible to replicate the dead humanâs head, that could be awesome. Otherwise, a randomly generated head trophy would still be pretty cool. Making also sure their face expression would make us giggle.
Maybe the other body parts youâve mentioned as trophies could be in as well, anyone you would kill would drop one of their body parts randomly. And maybe head trophies drops an uncommon or rare drop.
Adding new placeables to the game with this stuff - a pedestal or sticks for the heads, plates for fingers, display racks for other body parts.
Forgiving this idea comes from the Predator franchise and the fact I personally loathe PvP braggarts. A polished skull craftable under the taxidermy feat would be fitting. You kill an Npc or player then using a tool you recieve a human head. You then place it in artisan bench to craft the polished skull trophy that has an editable name plate. You then place on the wall and chage name plate to name of the victim.
Severed player head that can be temporarily worn on your belt or carried in your offhand until it decays would suffice. Conan has done it to Thulsa Doom in the '82 movie, Artemesia carried several in the 300 sequel. Once it decays, it becomes a regular human skull, which can already be displayed in a variety of ways.
Absolutely! We cant have people cheating on a trophy count. It is like a man mounting the two antlers from the same deer separately to claim he has shot two of them. Why such behaviour would be downright shameful!
If you want a truly gruesome trophy, could try asking for a blood eagle display of the last person you killed. Hang that out the front of your base to scare the locals. Crafting requirements - knives, axes, wood, antlers, twine, salt and a body
If we can all agree to be honest about our respective body counts
All we need to do is keep a box of weathered skulls hanging around and we can already do thisâŚ
Yeah they have this in atlas you can chop off other players heads and put them on the walls and the players names even show. I would love to see this in conan but let us put the heads on a spike
Sounds great to me Lucidique! I could have two rows of them forming a long guard of honour along the pathway to the main entrance to my base. What a fitting welcome home!
You know I used to do this exact same thing back in my first year of play, and enjoyed it immensely! I would have the weathered skull from each named T4 character I killed, with a name plaque below each, just like you do there. Unfortunately, when I made the move from my T1 to my current T3 base I had to abandon the project. Well either that or carry them one skull at a time so that they wouldnt get mixed up. And given I had dozens of them, the task just seemed too tedious. But I still have all of their weathered skulls in a chest at home. I stopped adding them when their drop changed to the undead.
But if we were given a trophy drop from humans again, I would take my macabre hobby back up in heartbeat!
EDIT: oh and speaking of which, I would also love to be able to use hearts as placeables.
Now this has always bothered me a little. The world of conan should be more brutal and bloodthirsty than the world of Atlas. It is a world filled with ritual sacrifice, rampant slavery, and bloody battles with brutal barbarians. It is no hello kitty. Yet there seems to be precious few options for the player to exhibit this in their bases. Couple this eith the very âcivilizedâ looking T3 building pieces, and it feels like we are stuck in a good, caring barbarian who offered his thralls a better life narrative. I just want to be able to decorate my home like a bloodthirsty barbarian conquerer. And given the nature of the aforementioned nature of the Conan lore, I do not feel that this is an unreasonable request. If anything there should already be numerous options for this.
Oh me too Funbags!! I think that we originally could in EA (see image), but it was later changed or removed. Either way, here are sone tasty and tantalising possibilities!
Tsk⌠blood eagle?
Tsk, Iâd say let me crucify the lesser ones (on a inverted cross of course) so the path to my base became the Golgotha itself ^^
and the stronger ones could be skinned and their skin would become a dress or a mask, as the aztec way!
Maybe building a tzompantli skull wall should help the yoggers older gods worshipper here.
What is a blood eagle? The offendant gets down on his knees and his back is opened with knives and then with axes. His ribs are chopped away from his spine and then his lungs are pulled out of these huge bleeding wounds and laid upon his shoulders, so they look like the folded wings of a great eagle, and he must stay like that, suffering, until he dies.
I am sorry, I don´t like this idea at all. The Pvp community is very toxic and small. New people to Conan Exiles already often stand no chance against zergin clans that hack and slay their way through the lands mercingless which leads to people quiting faster then they joined because they are having no fun at all in the game. Now imagine what happens, if people can collect trophies? Trust me when I say, its not good to give people even more reasons to camp spots permanently.
I canât even imagine server lag to copy pasted head and name tags. XD
Iâd be up for ear and finger necklaces, And multi tier upgrades of it. Or maybe A Tombstone/Trophy housing item, when click lists last people you killed.
For that reason I feel that this may be well received by the PvP community. While we can take a head from animals, and a weathered skull from the undead when we kill them, there is still nothing we can collect as a trophy from defeated humans. We could argue a severed arm or leg, but those are unreliable and only stack at 1 per tile, I know some PvPers have taken to collecting waterskins and helmets, but this presents the same problem.
What a fitting welcome home!
