Dear Funcom Team (@Community) , is there any hope that we will get a roadmap for Age of Heroes like we got for Age of War? An overview of what we can expect in the coming months is probably not too much to ask. It would be a real shame if roadmaps of this kind were not continued. It would be a start to improving the communication that so many in the community want.

āAbandon all hope, ye who enter hereā.
Certainty seems to be with funcom.
Is usually part of the introductory post by new community managers before they ghost us.

If I had given up hope that the situation could change for the better, I would no longer be here.

You can at least attempt to be constructive hereā¦
What @Dark_Overlord is asking for isnāt unreasonable, or even unprecedented.
However, if you go to Funcomās webesiteā¦it still says AGE OF WAR ffs.
And the ālatest newsā is almost a month out of dateā¦and is about Yogtoberā¦
You have to really keep scrolling down for any information about the Age of Heroes.

Sorry, went with sarcasm.
Completely agree.
Itās something that Iāve asked for as well and part of the Allies group Iām with.
It would so help to keep us apprised on what we can expect even if it is only surface level, thatās ok!

Why? Nothing ever comes of it. The community team continues to ignore absolutely everything. Funcom shows nothing but contempt for the playerbase in general and the forums in particular. Deacon and I have butted heads plenty, and probably will again, but expecting anything to change as a result of āpolite requestsā is a proven course to nothing. Why shouldnāt we reveal our contempt for a company that shows nothing but contempt for us? At least that way newcomers to the forums, or those smart enough to research the company before putting money into one of their products, might at least get a balanced view of the way we get treated once they have our money.

For start, it would be nice if they at least reveale whatās up with the small 3 month update thatās coming soon. That wouldnāt be too much of a spoiler, but it would keep us interested. I find this renewed secrecy about upcoming content really disturbing. I thought with the roadmap for Age of War, we had put that behind us.
Iām not used to this kind of nonsense from other games. The Devs of Enshrouded, for example, are so wonderfully transparent about their plans.
Can we not move in that direction, please.

I entirely approve of, and agree with, what you are requesting. I just no longer believe weāre ever going to get it.

Iām just running with the assumption that Age of Heroes is the final one. I put it down to two things - the age of the game and Funcom bumping up the length of each chapter to 6 months. As they had also mentioned that they planned to make each age 4 chapters, Age of Heroes would be 2 bloody years.

I am hoping for a sorcery rework during or after this āageā thing.
It really, really needs a looking at. It provides absolutely zero justification for sacrificing 50% of your maximum hp/stamina.
The spells are nigh-useless, the fun ones kill you or can hurt you or your allies, and the summonable stuff is neat but the timer is too short. The zombies you can MAKE decay after a couple days, so thereās no point in finding strong thralls to convert into zombies to do anything fun with.
Sorcery really, really needs a rework.

There have been too many unpleasant surprises in the form of programmer errors. The Funcom community managers have driven āwe donāt want to spoil itā into a meaningless annoyance. They believe they can āspoilā something by informing players with basic information that players need to know. The community managers are displaying extreme incompetence but they believe it is not that. They are delusional and reprobate.

The Funcom community managers are being paid to ignore the community and to lie. What the Funcom community managers are doing is deceptive business practice which can be reported to the FTC.

Complaining about Funcom not communicating when itās the weekend will most likely accomplish nothing. Try after the weekend. Iād also recommend not spamming that FTC stuff in multiple threads.

The only plans (regarding this game, Joel went on about Dune at length and even Solomon Kane) that were mentioned in the last interview about the future of the game were more Companions.
So this one expects the road map will be Bazaar updates every month or two and a new Companion every half year until Dune is released.
Then the game either goes into full maintenance mode, or they get some resources to actually support development.
This one hopes for the latter, but expects the former.

And be just as broke and buggy as if they did it in 6 months.
You thinking you can do this proves youāve never tried.
Like that will make the slightest difference.
That is what Iām expecting, a couple new companions every chapter.
List of things Iād like to see/have in game, special companions is not on it.
You want to see where Conan is going check any of the funcom games shown on the login page.
Zombie games. Up and running with players, but not in any sort of active maintenance.

I doubt it. I think they realized they were putting too many restrictions on themselves with the tight release schedule already. Giving away plans doesnāt really benefit Funcom in any way, and only gives them yet another path to failure and community upset.
Apparently a revamp of The Dregs is planned for Age of Heroes - Chapter 2, but that is all I know.
I do not think work on Conan Exiles will cease until Conan Exiles 2 is ready to release, and it is fairly reasonable to expect Conan Exiles to continue to get updates for at least two years following the announcement of Conan Exiles 2.
Since, as far as we know, Conan Exiles 2 hasnāt even started development yet, it seems likely that we still have several years left before updates stop coming for Conan Exiles.
Joel is on Dune now. He probably knows little more about future Conan development than we do.
Heās no longer the chief creative director for Funcom as a whole?
Very strange that he would be the one to answer an interview explicitly about the future of Conan Exiles if he is no longer a part of it.
Of course he is focused on Dune right now. The whole company except for what, 1d4+2 people are. And, that is why this one noted that after Dune launches, Conan will either have more resources to actually get some polish on the updates, or the need to continue active development will come to a close.
