First off some things that you can do to help prevent this:
#1 Shut your Doors that allow access to your land claim.
#2 Don’t leave your thralls outside in the open anymore. All of your thralls need to be behind a wall.
#3 Your thralls need to be set to passive non aggressive stance. If an enemy NPC walks by your thrall shouldn’t be shooting their bow.
#4 Put Coffers in the corners of your build. Even if you don’t use them. Cover them if you need to and or have them accessible as part of your base. They help expand your base radius. Which in turn prevents Asshats from using purge pathing against you.
Outsmart the Asshat!
#5 Use those trees, plants etc to your advantage to help increase your land claim outside of your base. Gives you a reason to build an aesthetically pleasing garden ! You’re on a PvE server after all. All of my bases have exterior Gardens for a multitude of reasons.
#6 Build near your neighbors!
#7 Use the landscape to your advantage. Wide open areas are no longer ideal. All of my builds are either near my friends or in a inaccessible area that is hard for purging.
Outsmart the Asshat!
#8 Planning!! If you’re building a new base, do some preliminary building in Single Player. I do this for all of my new builds. Find a new spot on an Official Server and claim your spot. Then go into Single Player and build your base. While in SP test out the purging pathing. Is it easy for purges to start at this location? Then go back on the Official and implement your build.
#9 Use the landscape to your advantage! I seriously love building into a rock wall. I absolutely love having a rock wall in my base. Love how lighting looks against a wall. Use this tactic to build a Purge proof Aesthetically Pleasing base.
Outsmart the Asshat!
#10 Utilize the water. Yes the water. Ever build a Waterbase? The uncharted territory of Conan Exiles. My new build on my official is out in the middle of the ocean on IoS. Under my base on the ocean floor I have 20 Vaults and above the water is going to be a castle. Only accessible by TP of course! Ever build a pirate ship? Live in the water on your very own Pirate Ship!!
Purges require pathing to your base. You need to build defensively and keep the pathing in mind.
It’s really not that big of a deal.
Players with destruction on their mind don’t last long on a server if they don’t have anything to destroy.
Tons and Tons of places to build in CE now, especially with Teleports available. You can literally build your base in the far reaches of the map only accessible by a TP.
This is legit and indeed works. I put extras in between walls, under stairs and under the floor.
Instead of building with foundations, use ceiling tiles, pillars and walls. You can then utilize the inside of your “foundation” as storage or in this case to hide a coffer.
I now understand what you said, so funcom has already said that everything that is done with the intention of a person taking advantage of a failure using abusive mechanics and violating the rule, yes, but there is a problem, this is done with fake accounts so probably there will be no effect.
I’m a very experienced player, I’ve played PVP but today I’m only in PVE and I know many defensive forms, in fact against me this ■■■■■■ player only destroyed a few blocks because my construction is blind, now against a friend he managed to destroy his on a large scale construction, my point is, new players will join the server and when they have enough resources the enemy will attack them with purge, so that’s the question, I believe that funcom should bring together some players to become server Grand Masters to take charge, this Grand Master would not have the power of ADMIN, it would just be an easier path for investigations against players like this, presenting the fun with all the evidence with cautious work done, thus catching the foul counts and the real ones who are involved in the attacks to innocent people on the server.
