stelagel:

Your style reminds me of @Barnes, or @droch-aon, i play pvp but you’ll have to give me a reason to crash you. I really like what i see, it’s true, not fabricated even if it looks like directed (what a talent, i salute this greatness).

You are offending my very, very virtuous friend @droch-aon with that comparison but I’ll accept the compliment.

Truthfully, I have tried to back the underdog until I butted up vs some Alphas. Playing as Agitator was very fruitful and extremely interesting in the long run. I like what @Kilix is saying: Conan Exiles lets you stretch yourself while improving your experience.

It’s a gentleman thing! I am proud and honored meeting you both in here. You are both my teachers!

very, very virtuous friend

I don’t feel very virtuous. I fact I feel quite the opposite.
But thank you for the kind word.

This is a very interesting view into life on a PvP server. You can see all aspects, from people who attempt to retain a semblance of socially acceptable behavior, to your classic schoolyard bullies. The brutality of a no-rules environment, to underdogs sticking together.

And a surprising variety in fighting styles, too, despite the constant complaints about something being “the meta”. I find Pale Spider’s use of the much-maligned one-handed sword especially refreshing - I’ve always found it a good weapon against human targets.

And I can respect documenting your humiliating losses, too. All too often we see people tell only of their victories, probably often embellished more than a little, too. Seeing PvP battles at length, rather than those usual second-and-a-half clips edited together, is also interesting.

And I can appreciate the fact that even though you’re obviously not the worst villain on the server, you’re not trying to portray yourself as any kind of a hero either. You do what you feel needs to be done in an environment where everyone’s (potentially) out to get you.

All in all, a very nice view into how an official PvP environment works. Much appreciated by someone who doesn’t play with other people. Looking forward to the next episode.

Glad you enjoy this I was greatly inspired by Ceronesthes’ and Oldcraig’s videos in narrative sense. Picking only victories and discarding losses and failures takes away the sense of uncertainty and wonder from the story. That’s why I find it so important to keep the bad things in. Even bad endings… as long as they’re interesting, that is.
One of the main goals in my storytelling is to retain the feelings that I experienced during capturing of the footage. Surely I didn’t use all of it. There were many minor conflicts within this playthrough that didn’t really go anywhere or were too dull to show.

Episode 5!

Cannipals · 2023-02-03T13:52:34.934Z

I’m hooked @Kilix!

Just watched the trailer. Awesome! Great music.

And I love the artwork. The grinch smile is perfect!

I’ve been watching Ceronesthes‘ stuff and it is so enjoyable. I’ve almost finished his videos so I’m glad I have your content to enjoy next

I’m a pure PvEr and seeing PvP stuff just floors me. It’s a totally different game.

Kilix · 2023-02-03T15:20:24.729Z

Thank you ^^
I invite you to check all other Conan exiles related videos in my channel then. Except maybe “Tress on Siptah” series. It’s not as entertaining as the rest.
And make sure to check Oldcraig’s channel too. His CE series is amazing and still on-going

Cannipals · 2023-02-03T16:06:35.523Z

You bet! I subscribed and watched a couple early ones this morning already

And then I’ll find Oldcraig too

Cannipals · 2023-02-03T16:33:20.959Z

@Kilix I LOLed at the “that’s a rock. Are you an idiot?”

Kilix · 2023-02-03T16:34:30.180Z

Spider isn’t very bright XD

Barnes · 2023-02-03T17:26:38.329Z

You may not value it because it’s just beneath the superhero armour you wear under your street clothes, but your great sense of good gameplay is an overarching monument. It has humbled me, and informs every project I undertake, and the ways I describe said undertaking.

I met this gent on a TestLive server, and he has always been a most trusted and valued friend on Official Servers. Believe it or not, an unclanned two-man History can easily unsettle even a 5-man team. They can see it in Global, he and I could read where to go and what to press, simply by our “overheard” convo.

But more importantly the Official course is a hard one to navigate, Droch’s a powerful rudder, and kept me from wilding on more than one occasion. Just a morsel of PvP Official.

Kilix:

Episode 6
Sunday

Cool .
What i like the most so far is that you know how and where to capm too for spawn killing and looting gold from dead bodies.
So far i didn’t see you doing it and i really wish i won’t until the end. I won’t blame you if you will, but i really like that you didn’t use this option so far!

just beneath the superhero armour

Apologies for the thread divergence

Kilix · 2023-02-05T08:07:49.337Z

1 to go!

speedice · 2023-02-06T18:14:00.062Z

You are seriously not aware that decay timers will not leave 0:00 as long as there is an active player in the sector? Can’t tell the number of times we’ve tried to blow a base, but somebody was in the sector in their base.

Kilix · 2023-02-06T19:04:44.834Z

Nope. Never knew that until this time

Cannipals · 2023-02-06T21:03:49.062Z

Oh I thought it was just a refresh issue!

I’ve gone back and forth like going beyond draw distance and back. Or map rooming away and then back.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

And what’s a sector? Like that grid space?
And if any other player regardless of clan is in that area it won’t change from decay 0:00 to actual decayed?

speedice · 2023-02-07T14:26:37.440Z

It’s the grid space. I had this very problem last night. This foundation spammer had built an elevator on the edge of the cliff behind my base. It decayed last night, but a noob had built down in the canyon, and he was actively playing. I had to get him to leave the grid so the timer would advance from 0:00.

It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as they are in the game. Bodies don’t count.

Crompox · 2023-02-07T14:37:24.446Z

This was very entertaining to watch, thank you for posting them up!

Thought you put up a good fight in episode 2, was rootin’ for ya.

3 vs 1 chasing you all across the map… ridiculous.

Maybe you didn’t season the feasts well enough for their tastes! No wait, that’s a different play-through…
