I bought Ark on sale last week. I have settled on a new official pvp server and having a blast.
Conan exiles mega fix not here after months of talk and based on quality of updates may be a myth. Until they fix the lag, sound, combat issue on the ps4/pro I’m playing Ark.
Ark has its fair share of bugs too, but imo they did well ironing out most of the major problem for me. The most glaring issue I had with Ark when playing it actively was the dinoes sinking through buildings, and their eggs as well, but they did quite a good job in fixing it, even though it’s still there but only for select few dinoes especially the new ones like Roll Rat, Drake, Karkinos, etc. Maybe because they still used old procedure when adding new dinoes.
Something that I found very funny after they fixed eggs falling through foundations/ceilings was some of those eggs sometimes can be found sticking out of the dinoes’ butt lol. It feels kinda weird picking up eggs that stuck ‘there’ lol.
Like this?!
And that spike from week ago was because friend streamed boss fights… Playtime from 2-3 days ago was in purpose of recording stutters and microfreezes.
If I understood correctly, why would funcom be scared of my post? They already took our money.
In the end, they can always compare numbers of active players, including peak numbers and it will not take that long before average numbers go back to around 2k players.
@Shadoza to amplify: It’s just like Gordon Ramsay says about food customers: they won’t tell you anything, they’ll just stop coming. You get too many bugs in your chow, you stop swallowing it. Eventually you don’t even care enough to talk about it.
Funcom don’t care about anything but the money they’re making. They don’t give a shìt about this game, if they did it would be fixed by now.
The only thing they want from this game is to continue milking money through DLCs that people will buy because they’re impulsive and stupid.
Thats your opinion, i dont agree.
I hope for a fullblood exp pack, more levels, more items and 1 new biome.
I would gladly pay 30euro more for this, as i havent had any of your problems.
Game runs fine, and after 500h i dont see any major problems playing and having fun, in fact i think its one of the best survival games out there.
But then again, dinos and lazerweapons arent really my cup of tea, so thats really a question of taste.
Maybe you are an PvE player… On Official PvP servers, nothing runs fine. There are so many gamebreaking balancing issues and funcom dont care.
Yep its normal that the player count clam down but not like this. Actually we have the summer sale and conan is in the sale but the player peak is 13,5k. Thats a sad joke. PvP is not playable in this full released game. Balancing is completly broken.
Umm…What??? You did not ACTUALLY type that and read it again right?
That is Vault Spamming 101.
I was watching a raid video last night. The explosions and the epicness of defending a castle was really exciting. But watching the player vs player combat was a complete and utter joke.
They need to allow players and npcs to attack while moving. Any moving target is almost entirely safe from attack. You are only vulnerable when you choose to engage.
Animations and attack speed need to be reworked. Too easy to avoid attacks and get stuck in animations.
100% true but this is one of the smaller problems.
yup, plus there hasn’t been any balance changes or many bug fixes on PS4. No cross server transfers in this type of game? So if your server died or are getting ran off your server you have to start all over again? I’m guessing this game was only meant to last a couple of months and the game is pretty much just over now and they don’t want it to last very long. The devs also lied about the DLC being cosmetic only, those doors have 70K hit points, so that’s a little on the P2W side.
I hope for that as well, but current state of this game, I just don’t see it happening. Every day more people say enough is enough, and Funcom is more concerned with shelling out DLCs than they are fixing what’s been broken since long before launch.
Some of these issues have been problems for months before launch even occurred. And they’re still not fixed, but they can release a DLC pack a month after and prime us for a 2nd with the aqilonian pack.
That speaks volumes about Funcom’a priorities.
I will tell you one though. I am able to siphon some enjoyment out of this game still. Building has always been something that draws me. I do love the options to build in Conan. But eventually that will fade here as well, and if Funcom doesn’t get its act together, and fast… I will never buy or play another Funcom game in the future. Also I’ll steer friends family and followers away as well.
And while this one post might not ‘scare’ Funcom, the sheer volume of similar posts on these forums saying pretty much the exact same thing should. They’re essentially committing industry suìcide on this game.
No, you would recycle the vault when spamming it for exp. That’s just vault spamming.
That’s one of the most common and annoying things that people does just to bother and troll other players, there are no benefits in doing that. This is on a pvp server but vaults are virtually indestructibles, since it takes around 106 jar each.
I hope that they will introduce a cap on the numbers of vaults a single player or a clan can build and place.
This. Stated absolutely perfectly. Same here. Actually my private server is already put away. Finally hit uninstall last night after playing a little SP. Does Funcom care? Probably not but they should.
I like this type of game, especially the engine used, combine the genre and the game engine, there are only two games that fall in this category, Ark:SE and ConanExiles. Or does anyone know of other game ? I know there is Dark and Light but I don’t like it.
When it comes to Pvp and raiding… What I do see is that too many players even on 10x harvesting/exp servers lose their minds and then quit. Example… Its a pvp server… thats private that has rules. Instead of finding out what the rules are… or learning about proper base design. They build a crappy t1 base in the north. Get raided and then abandon the server. I don’t see many players who can handle raiding or pvp and are willing to understand that Conan is designed around the constant yin and yang of build raid fight… get wiped and rebuild. Instead players get raided … they rage and leave and don’t come back.
I’ll be honest and tell you this, I won’t even attempt PVP in this game given the state that it is in. There’s just too much bug, glitch exploit cheat bullshìt for me to want to try. I can handle getting killed or raided, even wiped on a level play g field. But dying because enemies didn’t load up (invisible). Being wiped because “insert bullshìt bug/glotch/exploit”, and so on… That I won’t do. I can handle dying because I got outplayed, out skilled, ect… I dont do dying because these guys can’t get their shìt together.
I can deal with it on PVE and sp because npcs are predictable, humans however are a whole other level and dealing with the extra joy of the game not working right half the time. No thanks.
And honestly, if this game is centered around build > raid > get wiped > rebuild… Then it’s grind is way too heavy, and it’s no wonder people get raided and give up.
The People get raided from clans with unraidabale or exploiter bases under the map. They only need to farm explosives and could raid everyone away. No " normal" player clan will have a chance cause the normal players need much more time to build a good and safe base. I have 4 lvl 60 charakters on different servers. On every server the clans with these exploiter bases cleaned the server… They built on big black towers or under the map. Caves are nearly unraidable too cause 1 player is enough to defend the cave…
