Conan Exiles is slowly fading into history. It’s becoming unsustainable. The Age of War concept didn’t quite match up to reality. They hyped up a grand war, complete with sieges, soldiers, knights, trebuchets, and war cries. Then in the Test Live phase, they introduced this base-spawning camp that spawns soldiers who mindlessly charge in a single-file formation towards a player’s treasure vault. This can be called many things, but “war” isn’t one of them. I’m genuinely curious about the original concept that didn’t manage to materialize before the deadline, and that will likely never see completion due to Funcom’s policy of not fixing or improving what’s already been released. Adding new features, even on top of broken ones, seems to give them more room for advertising and monetization.
