Oh yes, I predicted all this crap.
But Funcom is not listening. They just continue their roadmap like stubborn kids.
Balance? Pfff, need to get the store ready first, so we can grab money. Prices so high, I’d rather spend this money on chocolate and get fat.
Meanwhile in Rust:
Silencer was OP because 20% damage amp was too much.
Guess what, got patched within 24 hours.
Funcom:
“GNAAHHUUGHHHGUGUGUGUG, Bugs?!!? We have have armor sets on the bazaar with visual glitches, lul”
Just retested. There was no hotfix.
Elaborate then, otherwise you’re being unhelpful to this thread.
Also, I attempted to take a look at the devkit thing to at least see your perspective and turns out that’s only possible through Epic Games Store launcher. No thanks. Not installing that launcher anywhere near my machines.
Yup. Facepunch has a really good track record of balancing and updating their game. Funcom not so much… it casts doubt on the new Dune survival game.
Naa, as long as they put full nudity in, they will catch all the Conan players 
Are you serious ? Storm spell + bat spell combo is the most unbalanced and game breaking feature ever realesed. its basicaly flying naked bombing with infinite bombs lol
Learn how to use and counter them and poof! Magically they become “balanced”! Sit in ignorance and judge them outside the full contextual abilities in 3.0 and you can think any and every ability or mechanic in the game is “unbalanced”!. But that’s all 100% on you.
nobody is saying that there is no counter to it. The way to is basicaly have someone sitting at base with a staff, witch is probably not even intended. Also tell me how solo’s should deal with that ? They have to be half corrupted and stuck in their base spamming counter spells while the ennemies is bombing at the same time.
Elaborate. Also which PVP server are you playing on and where is your base?
I’m on server #666 at location W-39 LOL
Come and get me copper! 
LS is the perfect tool for a solo troll that lives below a bridge 
LS is a cheaper, easier and more stealthy version of avatars/gods.
A response from @den about the lightning storm would be nice.
Either nerfing it’s damage and radius or just having god bubble protect against it.
Any kind of response from the devs about this would go a long way.
Well the path is clear now, have your 3x3 rat hole somewhere, push sorcery, craft leather pouches and go with the abyss armor and start wiping bases with the storm
Whilst the storm is doing it’s thing, kill some NPCs to feed your armor.
300% troll mode
Make it channeled for the full duration. Just like an avatar. You can’t stop it, you are commited to the storm. Lock the people into an animation. That seems to be the newest fashion atm.
Kill the sorcerer to interrupt the spell.
People won’t like that because they’ll die doing the full channel.
Simplest solution is to just have god bubbles protect against it.
I think having bubbles protect against LS is a good idea. Why not?
agree, not need to make explosives or gods for raids, raids with using storms close to free. Need to turn off dmg for buildings, otherwise there will be no point to building something
they will continue to do building damage, but we can adjust the frequency they target buildings. we’re investigating exactly how much damage they’re doing per strike - anecdotally people say they’re doing more than an explosive jar and “one shotting” t3, but the numbers internally suggest they should be a fraction as powerful and large as an explosive jar.
tl:dr - we’re looking into it
Thanks for the response.
I believe some strikes do little damage but some do insane damage. Had a heat efficient furnace and a garrison armourer bench get 1 shot.
Exploring the devkit can be rewarding if you’re seeking a particular exploit, too. When I was part of Exploit Hunters it really came in handy to figure out what the goobers were doing, rather than just grinding away.
However, I’ve always been with your way principally: we are here (if we’re willing) to test the application. Something is aggregating the bolts, clearly to induce as much damage as is depicted and repeatable.
some are doing over 200k damage (2 or 3 by ls), youtube is full of video showing it, all bases on official are wiped by ls, in a way gods were not able to do. and LS is so easy to farm. and use…
look at 2:20 to see when hit doing 200k damage and blow t3.Don't Build Pillar Bases Anymore In Update 3.0 Conan Exiles : New Raiding System With Magic - YouTube
Excellent news to know that the T3 one-shots and 100k damage shots on Vaults are not intended. Without those one-shots, LS is balanced because while it does 1-5k damage (seemingly) to most building pieces it really only means large chests can be vulnerable but it’s not a spectacularly OP base-killer and is more of a tool to push defenders out of their base unless they take the 20 grit perk (cap dmg at 25% of hp) and turtle all day while repairing and building. Also, said people can use the same spell to push raiders away from the base. All in all it could be a fantastic spell in many scenarios if the bug is fixed.
There is a ton of footage to prove that those T3 shots are happening, posted in the thread. The first post of thread has links to those posts among others.
I realize this, but there is no way I am installing any EGS product on my machines after several security issues I suffered from them. I got my account GDPR deleted as soon as I was able to. Done with that company.
Well not sure, even if low damage 5k, of what I experienced LS focus on placeables, which mean chests , so even if low damage it will in priority destroy your hidden chest with your loot, that if hidden behind foundation, will despawn.
the focus on placeables seem crazy for me, as it means that LS is simply a very quick and efficient way to really wipe a player (having assurance to make him lost all, base + loot, hidden or not), which in the old siege system was nearly impossible to achieve for an experienced player. i mean i have been raided hundred of time, saw all gods used, tons of c4, tons of arrow, but what LS destroyed in past week, was never achieved by all other raid in the past three years. it why i say actual state of game make it impossible to play with a base, and in fact you don’t need if u just need to farm LS. you can live naked with one chest, and wipe all.
