Are you guys interested in repairing the “Smart NPC” bugs or are you scrapping that project? Because I was looking forward to that update. it would have been a game changer if we could have real time responses with our thralls, especially for solo players – and as the community seems to dwindle on xbox to just a few active official servers (for pvp) it becomes incredibly boring and lonely game to play without anyone to talk to or even “train” with in physical combat and tactical warfare. the applications could have been boundless, so if you haven’t given up I urge you guys to keep working at it. i heard it worked for the PC version for a period of time, which tells me that your hangup is probably in having a GPT server running sequentially with each unique game server shard. You could do this with with a modern virtual server setup pretty easily if you have a decent system, and that’s for private use – commercial grade hardware should be able to handle it no problem. Is the hang up with the implementation probably coming from including the GPT server to launch simultaneously with the game server on console version?
i forgot to mention, i would be interested in playing an imperfect beta version of this game as it progresses on console if you were to sink your teeth back into production. I know you guys are busy with dune, but Conan is too strong of a title to just let go. too much content that has gone unappreciated by gamers. Each day I learn new things about the game, whether its from other players, the wiki, or the staff updates – the lack of clear guides within the game I feel turn away a lot of new players before they actually give the more advanced mechanics a chance. There is so much potential for end-game economy with the new purge system and stuff. people could PVP diplomatically instead of thoughtlessly. it would be amazing!
