I really have no idea where Funcom want to go with this. I liked the new stuff in Age of Sorcery, but the new purge is a major “uninstall-reason” for me and my clan.
We have a 10 man server running for some years now and the “randomness” of purges was the fun thing.
We have 3-5 bases on the map, we don’t use too many thralls and pets (lol pets) and try to defend those bases. The new system is like being spoon-fed. There is no purge when you not beg for it by clicking a npc.
That’s the total opposite of the story of Conan Exiles.
First time we stopped playing after resetting the server for a new playthrough.
