Friday we’re doing a Q&A stream on Twitch and with lead designer Oscar and yours truly.
Please submit your questions in this thread. Nothing is off-limits. On Friday morning I’ll lock the thread and choose a decent chunk that we can answer during the stream. Please keep your questions polite, straight and to the point. We will, of course, still take questions and comments from the chat as needed, but the main bulk of questions will be selected from this thread.
Time and place are the same as before: Twitch and Mixer at 5pm CEST/11am EDT/8am PDT on Friday, September 28th.
I would like a discussion about making it easier for Clan Leaders to join people to their clan. The main problem I have just joining anybody is the fact that I can’t trust them. Just like in other games, you don’t want to join someone into the guild/clan only to find their sole intention for joining was to rifle the guild/clan bank. So if you could implement some sort of locking system on doors/hatches ( and/or gates/drawbridges.) but especially on containers/chests/vaults with a passkey system controlled at the very least by the clan leader, then I think that would solve the problem of people leaving the game cause they are lonely and nobody will join them into a clan.
I’ve probably beaten this one into the ground by now, BUT:
Are we ever going to get more appropriate face options for some of the races? For example I tend to play a Khitan and it would be nice to have more than one face to choose from if I want my exile to actually look like they’re from Khitai.
Are you aware of the problem of thralls generally not aggroing other players, and is there planned fix?
Would it be possible for devs to document certain features, such as purge, especially for Admins? Currently manually spawning purge seems completely random wether it will work or not. For that matter, automatic purge also seems very random if it will trigger at all, even when all conditions are met by all players on a server.
Are there any plans to implement more/better tools for admins? For instance real-time tracking of players on the map, free camera movement and loading of building pieces with the ViewPlayer command etc.
It would also be super cool if admins had the ability to inhabit/puppet non-human characters, undead, frost giants etc for RP purposes. I understand giants etc have super limited animations, but all the undead types have all normal human animations, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be possible for an admin to “skin” his character to look like undead for instance.
Many official servers have a low population, if the numbers do not pick up after the pet update are there any plans to rationalise the total number of servers?
And if yes and servers are closed/removed would current characters be moved to another server?
A great deal of frustration results when official servers go offline for extended periods of time, especially during the raid and purge window. The current system for reporting and resolving offline servers is unsatisfactory to many. Any plans to improve this system? Or explain why it can’t be improved?
Hi funcom, thank you for giving use this opportunity!
So, here’s some questions I have:
There are certain thralls that have very low chance to spawn. Some don’t even have a spawn or a thrall. Is this going to be addressed? (Talking about no Zingarian Armorer, Lizard Armorer not in game)
Have you considered adding a Light/Medium/Heavy armor set for all the current factions? This would alleviate the frustration of having only specific armor sets for the desired stat bonus. (I would also love to see a medium and heavy set of the Darfari with bones/skulls and armor)
Is it possible to implement new mechanics to the purge system? If one doesn’t witness the message on screen, they won’t notice they’re being purged (Not everyone opens the map all the time). A simple icon next to the hunger/thirst flashing red (With maybe a countdown) would be really helpful.
Currently, dungeons are worthless. They’re a one time thing and never seen again. Will this be addressed with the upcoming and older dungeons?
There’s a lot of decorations in game that are not available to us. Is this something that will change in the future, or will we eventually get them? (Or maybe we haven’t found all the recipe locations yet?)
Will we see any new weapons implemented in the game? (2h Axe, Dual Wield, Crossbow, Fist Weapons, etc)
The world is quite big, yet there’s not much reason in exploring it fully. Can this be addressed? Having some new recipes, exclusive items, lore items and what not would be quite nice.
There are many cool mods for this game, would it be possible to implement some of their features into the main game? The fashionista mod for instance, would solve a common complaint people have when wanting to look “cool”.
That’s all I can think of at the moment.
Thanks again for giving us time to ask you questions about the game that would otherwise not be considered.
Hopefully these are mostly quick to answer, so having multiple questions is not an issue.
Building:
As the space is sometimes limited and 5 pet pens are HUGE, why not have single pet pens too? Just like there is singular thrall wheel of pain?
Could vertical rules of decoration placement loosened, especially when it comes to decoration on decoration? You might want to place a pillow slightly inside of couch for instance to make it look and not float.
Decoration: I noted your team loves cooking (so many different pots, vases in the game). Sure we can have more, but could we have more of new types especially to hang on our walls and roofs. Maybe we there could be sort of gargoyles/faces/decorative pieces of different cultures that would fit exterior wall too? Also maybe have weapon rack that allows you to put two swords crossed.
Exploration
I think most people love exploring the world. In the past you’ve said no plans to expand the map, but I am sure you get asked it a lot. Any room for you to reconsider?
Dungeons. We know there are several new one at works, are they going to be of length or very short ones like Witch Queen? Any plans to enchant the existing ones?
Conan
As you co-own Conan IP are you free to use anything from the movies, comics etc? Wheel of Pain for instance is very movie like.
Server:
Is it possible to add new death rules to servers? Such as only loosing your inventory on death, but not hotbar or equipment you are wearing. Would give option for death to sting a little, but not too much.
Bug:
Fix for avatar + camera shaking while standing still with the walking mode on coming up soon? It feels like its just the matter of camera being too close.
Hi,
Are there any plans for future content to expand the story? Or even remove the bracelet(I know you can do this technically atm) and explore new lands?
Do you guys have any plans of adding an official server without avatars? Avatars are pretty much the only reason why me and my friends quit playing. After 170 hours played we took a day off to celebrate norwegian national day, and came back to nothing. Unofficial servers won’t do the job for us either, so what are your thoughts? Just emphasazing that my question is about official servers without avatars, not how to improve avatar system.
I would like to see dungeon bosses in conan exiles somewhat buffed, mainly being the well of skelos boss
also a better rewards system for killing dungeon bosses, for example unique trophies, recipes or ingredients, otherwise killing them is pointless if you can run in and learn the tablet on walls for recipes
world bosses are just a damage sponges, killing them isn’t as enjoyable or challenging just tedious
an idea I had to encourage people to complete the game after getting all the artifacts instead of making a new character with no benefits why not make it not only do they have to level again but they gain a bonus 5+ levels for doing so, but cap it off so no one can abuse it, also maybe offer a unique recipe for gear where people can say they got that from completing the game
also I’d say avatars should be rebuffed to how a “God avatar” should be, a very powerful being but make them harder to get maybe instead of 500 zeal and an arch priest add more things that are challenging to retrieve for example add a unique artifact that you get for defeating a hard boss etc or more zeal
Thanks for taking your time reading this if you have, see you guys on stream hopefully.
-A happy player
Добрый день!
Вы делаете огромную ошибку выпуская длц и дополнения за место того что бы оптимизировать саму игру!
Всё очень печально - по пингу серверов вы не сделали обсалютно не чего как был плохой пинг так и остался - про оптимизацию игры тоже всё плохо - в отдельных местах жутко просаживается фпс и растёт пинг и это всё вы так и не исправили за полтора года!
Вас много раз просили сделать скрипт или программу для очистки базы данных - так как через месяц сервер ужастно загаживается и весит более 100мб при этом начинает тупить и тормазить.
Так же можно было сделать кастомизированый интерфейс чата иконок добавления мини карты и так далее и тому подобное - но вы даже этого не сделали - за всё это долгое время вы так толко нечего не сделали с игрой а только клипали дополнения и длц - займитесь наконец оптимизацией самой игры и сетевова кода!
Bonjour funcom j’ai plusieurs questions je suis français je voudrais savoir si le jeu va être en 4k hdr sur ps4 pro via un patch ? Ajouterai vous des nouvelles créatures mythologique ? Les montures arrivent quand s’il vous plaît c très utile pour se déplacer ? Les bases détruite laisse des esclave inutiles il a t il un patch pour ça merci
I have a question related to thralls behaviour. Have you considered the possibility of adding a button to change his temperament between agressive and passive?
It’s very annoying when thralls attack/not attack independently what you want to do.
keep up the good work!
