Hello there guys, I am new to the game, I have been playing for about a week. Met a feel people in a clan and we play and chat inside discord, raid ppl, build… We have a blast…
Yesterday, after the last patch, my friends noticed that the strafe / roll mechanics were nerfed heavily with the light armor. Also, the acceleration from a dead stop to running is WAY WAY WAY too slow.
Due to these 2 facts, my whole clan quit the game and left me alone :’(.
They went to play a different game, arc or something, they invited me to go but I haven’t done my research yet.
I just wanted to let you know why 17 people quit yesterday out of the blue in case more players quit for the same reason.
Just tell your friends that these new changes are not set in stone yet, this has a good change to be tweaked imo, as i also keep reading people hate these new changes too on the official server i’m on.
I’m sure Funcom wants to please the majority. it will just take a little time for them to get a good idea of the general feeling about all of this.
In the meanwhile i wish you and your friends to have fun with your new game.
Yes there are other issues as well like the constant crashes with the new dlc which could lead to a class action suit against Funcom. They new these issues before hand from reports during the testing phase and chose to ignore the testers.
I read these posts about people quitting because of the movement and can’t help but think if this was all it took to make you quit the game you may have been due for a break anyway. It just sounds too dramatic and whiny. For the record I don’t care for the new movement speed either.
That being said don’t let it ruin your experience. There is so much to do and I don’t even really get into building much myself and I’ve been sinking in the hours on single player alone. Just have fun and enjoy the discovery and remember the forums are always here if you need any help or advice
I don’t want to play a new game… I dont like rust, which they mentioned, something something tarkov havent seen yet, and ark gotta check on that…
I really liked this game… I gave it 10 out of 10… Playing with a supporting clan teaching you everything OMG what a game…
Now the game is unplayable imo. The roll mechanic I guess could be worked on, but the acceleration is complete trash. It’s just my opinion though…
I mean, if this game doesn’t get fixed, I will just go back to starcraft 2 lol… Been playing starcraft for decades, can probably play for another decade i guess…
You have to remember there are literally dozens of other reasons for a player to quit Conan Exiles.
One being dying for stupid reasons. Like getting stuck in a Rhino Head.
People might also rage quit after they “need a break” and don’t log in for a single week. And ALL of the 3-8 months of work vanishes for literally no reason.
Decay system is reason enough to quit this game, it’s one of the most self defeating aspects a game in this genre can maintain as a feature.
Purge, which should replace completely the decay system… does not function properly.
Right… buuuut he said they quit because of the dodging and movement.
I think we’re making the same point here but I didn’t word it the greatest. A change to movement as you’ve mentioned probably isn’t the only contributing factor to why they quit. Instead it was the final straw for them so my point is they were probably not far from moving on anyway. You aren’t gonna play the same game forever.
I just didn’t want to see op discouraged with the game thinking this change is game breaking due to his clan mates quitting. The game has a nice chunk of content in my opinion but I’m a single player guy so take it for what it’s worth
For what it’s worth, I’m sad to hear that. I know what it’s like to be in a clan and then everyone else stops playing.
As others have already suggested, tell your friends that the changes are not necessarily permanent and that Funcom might tweak them.
If they’re definitely not coming back, don’t hold yourself back from looking for new clan members or merging clans with someone else or even hopping onto a new server – starting from scratch can sometimes be a lot of fun.
Heck, if you’re playing on US servers and like PVE-C, stop by the server 1823, where I play It’s not the worst server out there
Its definitely not the only reason to quit lol!! Its farcking lag city with the new update! In the patch notes I saw that they did something to help render in bases? well, it did the opposite. The game slams to a halt anytime i go near a bench or box, and my base is invisible as i run up too it.
and wtf is up with the greatsword update? Just leave it alone!
And now the menus cut off the characters heads?! and you cant unequip thralls gear?!
To be honest, the movement momentum thing is sharty, but it’s definitely not the reason I shut the game off! this last update was a disaster.
Disclaimer: I like the dodge update. The issue I have and I’m thinking everyone else is having is that we had a good game two days ago and now its buggy and slow and ugly and my dude runs like he has rocks in his pockets (even when he doesn’t lol)
on the other hand, my clothes look sick blowing around in the wind… so thats cool… I could keep playing to watch that… and the new sleeping poses are neat…
Hahaha SWG isn’t a survival game such as these but a sandbox. The best crafting and housing system ever. I should know after all I am Starbuck1771 who had been permabanned on the forums there several times just to have each ban reversed. I made plenty of friends on the SOE Dev teams.
People leave one day after a patch? Amusing.
Well the new dodge/roll is different, but you can get used to it, in terms of PvP this was needed.
If you like Conan, stay, its normal after a patch like this that some people are overreacting.
Also the momentum thing will prob be tweeked. They ask for feedback for a reason. Have 0 problem with it myself, but can understand why some would have. But the new dodge is perfect, its now a dodge and not an escape button, as it should be.
For my clan of 10 it was because of the animation change for the weapons. I switched from ark to play this game because of all the cool things like emotes and the cool weapon animations but then they destroy the one weapon i like being the pike light attack animation just makes me sad.
So when you were new crettles and whomp rats did not eat you alive like the rest of us. It was the beginning of the survival craze.
5 of us set up the Antarian Rangers on Kettlemoor from day one. I was last to leave.
At the 2006 con they said rangers were only 2% pf the population.
Yet we fed the galaxy.
What kilt SWG was SOE trying to make a WoW buster, well they went bust.
“stay on target”…
I have no problem with the new movement. What I do have a problem with is a further stamina drain.
I have had the same build for over a year now. Today on my rounds found I can not run as far Or swim as far. I have an underwater entrance to on of our outposts.
I have been swimming since the great rock showers. It takes 1/4 on my stamina to make that run.
Today for the first time it took almost half. Rolls are more costly. I can no longer do a double roll.
Just like the NGE, we start over again, learning how to play. OR LEAVE
It’s not the worst server out there
