New Funcom Survey

I might take a plushy of Telith’s Ghost. If it can talk.

DeaconElie:

CodeMage:

Are they still asking those weirdly intrusive questions?

marketing research.

I know what they’re for. It doesn’t make them any less intrusive.

darthphysicist:

If you maximize profits, you have by definition achieved the best possible financial result.

darthphysicist:

If there was any doubt whatsoever and it was just guesswork noise

The first reply is based on not understanding that @RavenS117 was talking about maximizing short-term profits. The second is based on something @DanQuixote didn’t claim (i.e. that it’s all “just guesswork noise”).

It’s almost as if there was a pattern in these replies.

darthphysicist:

A brief list of things that shut down a thread:

And the thread @Dakhma is talking about doesn’t really tick any of those boxes enough to warrant closing. There was enough on-topic discussion and it involved Conan Exiles.

darthphysicist:

main thing is, any thread not on the topic of CE had better be something light hearted and humorous and in creative corner, or its gonna go away

It will also go away if enough forum users abuse the moderation system.

darthphysicist:

I’ll hazard a guess and say this one is edging pretty close to closed.

“Nice thread you got here. Shame if it got closed.”

I thought it was pretty obvious…

Croms_Faithful:

Is there an activity you would like to do less or automate?

Yes, yes there is. An automated way to distribute foodstuffs to our followers would be very nice. The good news is that there is already a way to do so in the game now! They just need to fix them. Jokes to the side this is genuinely the only thing I feel the need to automate at this time.

My answer was not much different. I’d like to be able to properly use my inventory again without horrendous workarounds to be able to do what I used to do without even thinking about it.

I really like the survey. Lots of great questions. I felt I was clearly able to express my opinion/wants/desires. Just one thing. I was VERY close to selecting bugs as something for you to work on. But to me it is not game bugs as much as game stability. The game crashes on average once per hour. I am retired so I play 4 to 8 hours a day at times. This is a lot of crashes for me. When the game crashes I have lost thralls, end up somewhere else on the map etc.

The worst part is the game crashes and I can CTRL ALT DEL and get the blue screen but if I click the task master My screen goes black. I have to EVERY time select power restart. I use the AMD temp utilization window and maxed had a 52% GPU usage and at peak heat 55 degrees C for heat. I do not have this issue with any other game.

I can not use the Windows key it causes the game to crash with the same results. I can only access the web through Steam without crashing. So if I accidently hit the Windows key when playing I have to reboot.

I bought one DLC for the building designs, but I would spend more if I was not constantly wasting time every time in game when I recover from a crash. At times I just quit in frustration.

Basically I would REALY want is you looking into making the game more stable.

ToBeDetermined · 2024-06-04T04:06:46.463Z

You should report under the bug section. People may be able to help and staff may request certain information. Make sure to use the following link, as it is the bug repory template. They get cranky if not used…lol

NEW Bug Report Template PC Bug Reports

Bug Reporting Template We’re testing out a new forum component that allows for drop down menus and forms. While this is not a perfect solution for bug report forms, the goal is to make bug reporting easier and smoother. This is far from a final version and is subject to change or even be scrapped. Thank you! Once you fill out the form, the information prints in a box at the bottom of this post. Please scroll down so you can copy and paste for your own bug report. Basic Info Please fill out…

EpicRivers · 2024-06-04T06:14:51.434Z

In the options tab of Task Manager, theres an “always on top” option that you should check. This might help in some games when you open task manager to a black screened game. I hope you resolve the issue soon, it’s pretty odd what’s happening to you. Have you tried playing full screen windowed, if you are playing full screen?

demonado · 2024-06-04T07:22:58.328Z

I used to have the same “bug”, until I updated my graphic card driver.

prologue1337 · 2024-06-04T09:23:16.163Z

New map/land dungeons… actual content.

I want less nerfs, I want gear from dungeons to be viable again… if not the best option. Cause lets be honest… who’s gonna do the dungeons if the reward is worse than hardened steel…

I also want rights to repair back and the permanent max durability loss to be removed entirely… it should’ve never ever seen the light of day.

Tired of running around with 2 of the same weapon because the other weapon is near broken…
Its either bin that one… or run around with a spare. And the constant re apply of skins on them.

I hate it when I use tools, repair them and eventually I can harvest 2 stones because the durability is low.

There’s so much still wrong with Age of War… and I lost all hope on them reverting back to a more stable balance and QOL.

Also the combat is boring… stamina is drains too fast… regenerates too quick when its dry and almost every mob has so few health you oneshot everything. Its one shot > stamina drained. I can’t even call this combat anymore.

Strom:

That isn’t normal. I can play all day and not crash unless the server actually does.
I’d recommend starting your own thread and give your PC specs, sounds like it is really struggling to run Conan. Note the listed minimum PC specs are way out of date.

prologue1337:

New map/land dungeons… actual content.

I think your definition of content must really be off if you think only new maps are content.

prologue1337:

who’s gonna do the dungeons if the reward is worse than hardened steel…

Most people. Now they may not farm the dungeon.

prologue1337:

Quite using repair kits.

I can agree the game seems to keep getting further and further from actually being balanced every time they try to balance it.

prologue1337 · 2024-06-04T11:51:55.787Z

DeaconElie:

I think your definition of content must really be off if you think only new maps are content.

Not my point, only my wishes.
Fiddling with the old is not new content, at least not to me.

Their argument they used still ■■■■■■ me off: they changed the balance so people engage more in already existing content.

They added new content like the treasures and castle, however… we already had purge, new system is better though.

DeaconElie:

Most people. Now they may not farm the dungeon.

No, it isn’t worth it anymore.
More work, barely rewarding or worse take for example the Telith’s Sorrow, Black Ice… to name a few. Out of balance, not worth, obsolete.

DeaconElie:

Quite using repair kits.

I don’t use them anymore, every repair still damages the durability so eventually you get the same annoying problem.

Bathory · 2024-06-04T12:06:36.920Z

prologue1337:

New map/land dungeons… actual content.

That and actually some new mechanics, new things to do in game, like fishing with a fishing rod and such things.
I am all tired of chopping down trees etc…

There has to be some endgame too. Building is not the endgame.

If they turned around and went towards “Conan the Survival Game” then there is lots of fun things they could have added.

DeaconElie · 2024-06-04T12:18:37.098Z

prologue1337:

Fiddling with the old is not new content, at least not to me.

Oh I think the explanation for that will certainly kick off a discord.

prologue1337:

Last I knew repairing at the bench is supposed to not cause that. Supposedly that is the reason to do it at the bench. Sounds like a bug.

Bathory:

like fishing with a fishing rod and such things.

As much as I’d like fishing in game, I’d rather not test the devs with it.

HonkyLips · 2024-06-04T12:52:01.820Z

My response to the question about the bazaar.

I have purchased every dlc made. When comparing the cost and content of the bazaar to the old dlc system, I will not spend money in the bazaar. The equivalent of 1200 Crom bucks used to get a full build set, 3 armor sets, full weapon set & decorations. I don’t expect prices to remain the same, but i expect that a set of any of these types of items should never cost more that 1200 Crom bucks. In fact the price should still be under. You would get more engagement with the bazaar and less negativity.

Hansel · 2024-06-04T13:15:26.472Z

Looks like your PC has issues. Game crashing is one thibg what you describe is not normal. And it seems you have issues to solve.

A faulty componente such a ram module or hard drive could be the cumprit

bedwin · 2024-06-04T19:02:45.085Z

Merging all survey related forum feedback posts into one forum topic is just another way to ignore and dismiss our feedback.

This is why we are where we are still at.

LostBrythunian · 2024-06-04T19:34:54.042Z

That pretends that Funcom gives a cluck about their Forums.

This one is quite satisfied without the pretense, it keeps expectations realistic.

DanQuixote · 2024-06-04T19:50:53.813Z

Heck, even when this latest survey asks ‘where do you go for information about Conan Exiles?’, the CE forums are not listed as a possible answer…
(but then, neither are YouTube or the wiki, so make of that what you will…)

Dakhma · 2024-06-04T19:52:10.009Z

I might be wrong but that’s because only a few people browse the forums, and Conan exiles youtube presence is not as high as other games, is there we got some cool youtubers but its not Minecraft level.

DeaconElie · 2024-06-04T20:15:12.054Z

DanQuixote:

that is why I selected other.

The interesting thing is the people most active here are probably least active where funcom makes most of their announcements. Twitter.
