PLEASE, remove Spiked Walls Damage in PVE

Kapoteeni · 2022-08-22T09:20:35.021Z

I love the aesthetics of walls and crenellations in my buildings. And as I’m a Single-Player, it’s I who is the idiot constantly running into their own spikes. My buildings tend to be complicated, so sometimes the easiest way to a particular room would be to climb if I hadn’t walled myself out of the house. And picking up and replacing a piece of railing would feel wrong.

Of course, Funcom could teach Purge attackers to climb, so the defensive features would have a function outside of PvP.

If NPCs have the ability to climb, this mechanic would be justified.
However, how do I know if the devs actually see this thread ?

I mean, will they come and say “ok, we read this” or we just have to hope and live in ignorance, until the day we have this feature fixed ?

Is there a way to let them know there is a thread that requires their attention ? Do I have to use the Support to notify the problem ?

I use the fences and crenallations for the look they give. I also use them to keep non clan members out of the main base area. I can’t tell you how many times we walk out the gate and find players logged out on the grounds.

I just re-built a few buildings, and having a non clan player’s body in the way in annoying. There is nothing in the main area anyone else needs. The map is outside the wall. There’s a fountain. Inside the base is ours. Build your own.

They don’t usually comment on threads or mark them as read, because people would take that as indication that their suggestion is going to happen. It would also lead into people competing for dev attention.

But the developers do read the feedback forum, and Community managers also pick interesting and viable suggestions for the developers. Depending on how popular a suggestion is, and how difficult it is to program, they either will or won’t put it into the game.

Horses and riding was one suggestion the devs had already decided to be “too difficult to make properly”, but it was such a popular request that they found a way eventually.

Bug reports are a different matter. Funcom staff will often ask for additional information, and also mark the reports as received. But that is not a proper channel for forwarding requests that are not specifically bugs.

JohnnyWylder · 2022-08-26T15:14:50.824Z

Sooo … we just have to keep this post up and not let it get closed until, someday, we’ll found out the devs have patched this feature ?

Ok, I can do this.

They did already, didn’t they?

Ah, very cool

Akomo · 2022-08-26T19:59:18.107Z

Nope- they are a deterrent to players running mobs into my base causing trouble when im not there.

I don’t think people are asking Funcom to remove fences. I think they’re asking Funcom to remove the damage that the fences receive from players’ attempts to climb them and/or the damage they deal to players attempting to climb them.

Akomo · 2022-08-26T20:15:56.092Z

Well there has to be a penalty for trying to climb someone’s base when you really shouldnt be. Also from the players base perspective, ill know if someone attempted it when the fences are damaged. Otherwise i wont know if there was an attempt or not.

For PVE i usually wouldnt care, but when i log in and half my base is destroyed, and it was because someone dropped a convergence trap nearby and then ran to my base , well thats an issue that deserves a penalty.

CodeMage · 2022-08-26T20:17:47.025Z

I still don’t understand why you think people shouldn’t climb your base in PVE(-C). It’s not like people can’t grief you with the purge-pulling from a convergence trap if they can’t climb. Griefers gonna grief.

sestus2009 · 2022-08-26T20:35:12.866Z

I want damage to players climbing across my crenelations and fences. We have a open to the public map room. Pve official. We don’t want people kiting our neighbor Mr. Rotbranch over our walls using our thralls and pets to kill him. And you know it is done.

Akomo · 2022-08-26T20:40:27.853Z

Well they can climb all they want- theres a penalty for that currently. The OP is asking to remove damage to fences. Like cmon , its not even an issue. I like knowing if someone is poking around. If i decide i want to PvP id want to know.

Yes, the @ Community informs those in question. But you likely still will not receive confirmation. We don’t know if they view it as a feature and not an issue. We don’t know if it’s actually even possible to set up like you’re suggesting - I would presume it would be a huge PITA for almost no actual benefit. And, even if someone who reads it agrees with you, by the time it’s bounced around the discussion table it’s likely too much to ask them to find the thread again and explain things - especially given the fact that questions like these (and yes, this actual question) are asked over and over and over again in these forums - not to mention all the other media sites FC maintains.

I do it all the time - it’s awesome! But I only do it if I’m pretty sure the player’s thralls are capable without causing any thrall deaths.

Xevyr · 2022-08-26T21:25:51.948Z

Hmm… maybe for the same reason that if I went outside irl to someone climbing my house I’d smack’em on the back with a shovel so they climb down and gtfo my property Idk lol

Edit: on second thought… maybe that would be crossing the border into PvP?

LostBrythunian · 2022-08-26T21:42:53.784Z

As long as there is only personal violence, and no property damage, that’s PvE-C.

Altho the Gravedigger isn’t the best weapon for knocking an annoying interloper off the awning.
We also must keep in mind that some nations have very particular concepts of property use by the general public.
For the Norwegian example, check out Allemannsrett

I don’t, actually. I never found a way to kite any mob over anyone’s walls. I thought mobs couldn’t climb in Conan Exiles.

Am I going to learn another new thing here?

stelagel · 2022-08-27T12:01:29.343Z

I will farm for you some locusts to fix Queen sandreaper! If you place 2 Queens to this open the mob will fall down like a fly!
Or you can place 2 berserkers, one with mace and one with great sword, it will work faster

Maybe… The Big Guys can step over fences and low walls that would normally be enough to stop the smaller or human sized NPCs.

sestus2009 · 2022-08-27T18:43:35.090Z

Yes the Rotbranch can do damage over a three Fondation wall and depending on his attack in several Fondations. In reality if he was to break into the base area we have plenty of Berserkers to put him down. We just don’t want our base used as a way to defeat this guy. With the way the wall is set up they can swim around the ends health up and go back to fighting just keeps our thralls out of it. How big a deal is it to repair some fences or crenelated fences. Leave things as they are. Fix your fences as needed. Happy Trails
