I am not bitter about the game allowing other people their fun as long as I can still have mine. To me it is still the same survival oriented it always were. People can change it if they want, I dont, and still can play the same I used to. The beauty of sandbox. If they forced survival hardcore, I would not mind, but it would be themeparking all the same.
You’ve had more of a deep dive into these mechanics than I have, but isn’t it roughly T1 and T2 Thralls using the basic, and T3 (maybe not) and T4 using the Advanced tables? Or is there a few outliers?
My memory on the combo tables is probably bad, I haven’t looked at them in a few months.
For the most part yea, lower tier ones had limited basic combos and higher tier ones had more full ones.
However there were outliers depending on faction, some T4s still only used basic combos etc. so it’s not really set in stone.
I think they have been changed with the new update though and I haven’t checked yet to see in what way, I just saw a bunch of people saying that now low tier exiles seem to be doing full combos too, which implies that they’ve been changed.
As far as I understood KorgFoehammer, his point was not about the survival aspect, but the sandbox aspect. And that has not gone anywhere.
I wonder if people who complain about the lack of content remember playing in an actual, physical sandbox as kids. Or if they even had a chance to do so as kids.
I remember. We spent hours upon hours at that sandbox. Sometimes with plastic soldiers, sometimes with toy cars, but often with nothing but a little shovel and a little bucket.
The only content, whether early-game, mid-game or late-game, in that sandbox was sand. (And very occasionally dog poop, which I guess serves as a metaphor for glitches.) The only things necessary for endless hours of fun was that sand, and a child’s imagination.
To continue this metaphor, Conan Exiles is sand (and some dog poop). If you’re not having fun with it, you know what you’re missing.
I’m glad I kept mine.
