You know you can play in single player and grant admin rights to you so you can test it and spawn it quickly, don’t you? unless you are of course, speaking from a singleplayer perspective, in that case i don’t really know how to save server progress but i think you can make different copies and back up files to not risk loosing your base.
Maybe you can do that whit alot off work but the toos is far beather and works for everyone even the new players.
And also as he told in the film just caoue it worked the first time it did not when he did it live. So even if you go privat server and test it its no garantes its work when you go live so thats also a reason to get the tool in-game.
I agree. But…
This is stupid. Having the purge just teleport to where ever it wants to go is lazy programming. Pure and simple.
Especially if it happens when you are offline. It’s well known that thralls will stand there like vegetables if no human player is around. At that point the game might as well have a meteor shower rain down upon your base and punch holes in it.

Yes wher a puge can spawn and how big chans its spawn ther needs to be more clear. Ir rather they shud not spawn on a clamed area, unless its no contact whit walkebla ground.
I don’t want to sound caustic, but no serious clan ever attack you, sorry m8 but this is the truth. As it comes to base spawn purge it’s been going on about 8 months now and maybe more. If this is your first time all I have to say is welcome to Conan exiles. I remember in my last Cimmerian purge I broke an axe of yog trying to kill this frenzy purge. The worst part is that all my thrall were having truncheons so I have to kill them all my self. I wanted to take purge thrall and this made the purge very catastrophic and laggy at the same time from the unconscious npcs. It was a nightmare, but it was my fault, I was so confident and I lost, this is the truth. Still it was the best purge ever, a wonderful experience and I thank funcom for this experience.
Bugs, yes
Lags, yes
Fun, maximum.
All I wish is this game to hold and grow so one day it will be the best, still on the road

But its also good to lock up and se how thralls aggro, ex a some whit a bow dont agro if its more them 2 blocks abow and stuff like that.
well , at least on official offline purge isn’t really a thing , unless you tried to cheese the purge by logging out as you received the 10 minutes notification ! the setting is set to have at least one clan member online for your clan to be purge elligible by the server !

Yes thats quite a new change so not many know that change, spec if you havent sean the pod when they told the change.
Yeah. Seems it clear this is a design choice for PvP servers. Want to build a base that no enemy player can get into? Enjoy the purge inside your base.
I would like to see Funcom at some point allow human NPCs to climb, especially human thralls used for base defense. It is easy to strategically blow throw someone’s base, stand in certain spots, and then their thralls can never reach you. So it isn’t just a purge issue. But that is a whole other topic.
Is this a relatively new thing? Because I swear I’ve come upon other people’s purges attacking their base, while they were offline.
I literally have purge thralls I have captured that way.
not so new : PC Patch (08.10.2019) - The Wine Cellar, new animations, Debaucheries of Derketo and more!
look at the purge fixes of this patch ( and it is a fix of the system already been implemented so it has been earlier implemented but it was the first i found to link a date ) also to be noted this fix was to prevent purge if player quit the game before even having the 10 min notice and getting purged not the if you leave in between having the 10 min marker and the purge start wich is normal behaviour since you are aware of the purge comming !
It is a design choice as in a dev stream they made it that way in order to insure that all players could be purged. If a player builds a pillars base the players won’t be hard to deal with but the purge will be harder to defend against as they said in a dev stream which it’s that way so it is intended but ai in some cases is a bit wonky

@Masmassu, The video actually shows how UNCOMPLICATED the purge is and the basic ways to stop it from spawning in your base. The bottom line is that this is not a bug, this is working as intended.
In som way but when he try to redo a thing it dont work and also whats links and not is not an easy thing to know. He had quire a trubble to make it as he was planing to do.
So you are wrong!
And also this is not totaly clear even if you sean the film, then how imposeble it is to know when you are new or as soloplayer seldom get a chanse to get a purege.
An no its not a bug, jsust a weard system whit lack of ingame info. A well bug or bug, its a bug when its spawn inside the a bace even if its build on a flat ground it is a bug. just inside the outer walls. they had plenty off space to atack the outer wall as it supose to do!
Or get a lv6 in t1 or t2 area, and end up with 3skull bosses who 1-2shot every building piece.
No amount of thralls, pets, players, can stop a Boss from spawning in someone base, and breaking everything in a few swings.
Sure the Thrall can solo 3 skull boss, but everything in its hit zone… ya, its break and going bye bye. XD
One of these was the scorp boss walking up hill into front door. XD No teleport needed.
I’ve lost major section of base cause of stuff like this… which is why I make anti"purge Bases" To keep my main home safe. =p
In general thats how being a newbie works. Figuring it out, getting stomped a few times and going… You know, this isnt working.
Theres a few npc who discuss purge and journay entry has abit of info on it. The teleport… I guess abit of hey, my base is in a tree or on island and there popping inside.
I kinda figured it out at Altar of Bat, (I had built a base on broken bridge end), and undead just popped up inside or down path way.
Kinda figured out that hey… if they can’t walk there, they will teleport. That was pretty much my 1st or 2nd purge.
Have you played dark souls it here’s where you’re going have fun but wait push and fall. 10 seconds in and dear mother as the wild coyote puts on his sign
Nailed it.
And watching the video, it was explained in detail that same way.
So you have to ask yourself, if I had built this base on a piece of flatland, would it have happened the same way? Obviously it would if your defenses are weak, and your overconfidence is high because you built in an “inaccessible” spot.
The trick with purges is they always seem to go after the weak links first. If you have some outlying T1 towers near your base, that’s where they go first. Build smart, layer your defenses, and outplay the purge.
