After some thought, I finally decided to change the Steam rating for Conan Exiles to negative. I entered “The Age of Sorcery” with hope for a bright future, unfortunately, all parts of “Age of War” upon release feel like nails in a coffin. One by one. Broken thralls-bearers, authorization errors, lie about the Battle Pass “improvement” towards “live in the game or donate”, the inability to use things purchased for donation even in a solo game (since Fancom servers are lying and cannot confirm whether the item was purchased from you or not), Inability to share items fron BP and Bazaar with friends or trade, UI that was “improved but backwards” cause me feel depresed, sad and longing. Every Funcom patch something crazy happens - the most annoying thing is that bugs pop up that were “fixed” a long time ago. It’s like I’m playing not Conan Exiles, but some typical “slavic early acess survival”.
From all presentations and news about chapter 4 I wasn’t expecting nothing special, but for sure I wasn’t expected SUCH. I’m not even angry, I’m fking disapointed. From now one, I’ll try not to donate and buy nothing from Bazaar - I’m saying “try” cause I’m weakwilling person and sometimes there are pretty nice sets, over priced but nice, moreover there are still some amount of crommcoins on my account.
It feels that players survey, that was implemented resently, was made not because devs desided change course and to listen to playerbase feedback (playerbase that creates online and bring you money, btw), but with only purpose - damage control. Just to give players opportunity to put their steam and anger away.
Additional 3 monthes, that was taken to polish game and end everything that wasn’t implemented in chapter 3 - was spent to some bullshit.
I deeply respect everybody who works on Conan exiles, but I wanna say that something goes wrong. Maybe Funcome need to change those people, who are in charge of development. I’m not saying “fire everyone” - just fresh blood for 1 Age. To let current head devs restore. Some people who are burning with love to Conan univerce. Who like to play this game. Just to try. We have seen that devs were totaly unready to dev livestream. Maybe it’s because to new Dune game, maybe because of Tencent, I dunno.
I’m very, very sorry if I’m incorrect. I understand that live is live and sometimes something goes wrong. But it’s like 4 chapters when something goes wrong. A year.
As I told, I’m a bit depressed and disapointed - soon I will howl to the moon cause of sadness, like wolfes near New Asagarth. Seems that I’ll break with game for a while…till better times.
