Why do ladders use up stamina? I mean, if that’s the case, why have them when I can just climb?
Why do thralls provide such lousy defense when acting as guards? The range as well as agro of archers is far too short. The same goes for fighter thralls. When are guard. (IE: guarding your bases or other locations)
Why in the world do my “palace guards” just stand there and let people snoop around, loot and gather intel in and around my base just because it isn’t “raid time”? Guarding thralls should defend your base and property AT ALL TIMES. I know I’m not alone in this confusion.
*Why is horse stamina so low? IRL horses can run for quite some time before they need to slow down.
*Why do I take damage when my horse jumps from apparent trivial heights?
Why would you even create a “quick-look” feature? I mean, you shouldn’t be able to see THROUGH a locked chest…Maybe a furnace or something but chest and vaults should not be quick look(able).
Why is there no animation or punishment for searching a corpse? I mean, how in the world should anyone be able to take 100+ items from a body in a split second? There should be either an animation of a body being scavenged or a delay based on the amount of slots filled on a character. Also…No quick-look.
These are just a few of the “WTF?” features I have with regards to Conan in general. What would you add to this list?
I can answer the guards thing, im probably partially responsible for it…
If you can fight them outside of raid times, our first goal is to scout a base with good gear, stone dagger the thralls to death and loot some decent gear… then they ended that
This is the only that I agree, it should be rewarding that you fixed a ladder! At least when I stop climbing my ladder to get my stamina back .
On all the others I have no issues and quick loot of your corpse plus the arrangement of auto equip is the best feature.
Yeah, I doubt you’re the reason for this however, even if you did do something like that, my point is, 50 plus thralls should make minced meat out of someone getting anywhere near a base or worse, into a base. Hell, 5 v 1 should be unwinnable for a player character. If you get caught in a base, loaded with thralls. It should be game over. Without this, it’s almost pointless to HAVE thralls at all except to accompany you on NPC battles and dungeons. Otherwise, they’re pretty useless and cannon fodder.
I agree with auto equip. That IS a good feature. I’m talking about quick loot of someone else’s corpse. That should take some time. A search animation or something. Picking up your own stuff is a not the same.
I agree, although its mostly due to the ai not functioning. Not sure if they are working on it or not. I hope thralls get alot smarter, and when we could fight thralls outside pvp times, the loaded ones wed sit there and snipe a good section off before pvp time started
Agreed. They need to be smarter. If not anywhere else, when they’re guarding a base. If you’re fighting them in a camp, they’ll come down from perches and around gates etc. However, once they’re a thrall they get…lazy? LOL.
In keeping with the defensive idea of thralls (which is what they SHOULD be doing…defending) If someone were to hit them with arrows, thralls (where able) should chase after and attack those players. They DO do this to some extent but again, they need to be smarter. This is why we rarely have thralls INSIDE our base. That’s just stupid. You’re just asking to get blocked in your base by your own thralls. Or worse, they clog a doorway, and they can’t get out to fight.
I can’t tell you how many raids we’ve been on that should NEVER have been as easy as they were because the thralls were trapped and all we had to do was sit there and pike them or gas them to death without any fear of them being able to get to us. THAT should NEVER happen unless a base is without thralls.

Almost every day m8, ladders and scaffolds it’s half of my real life . However you can really rest stopping on a step and continue. You’ll tell me this is reality and it doesn’t actually have to be on game too, on this I agree .
Decoration. With a ladder, you don’t look like some Hyborian version of Spiderman.
Have you adjusted their aggro range via the radial menu?
Because this is a game. Realism takes second place to gameplay balance.
Damn, dude. I once rode a horse on perfectly level ground and I hurt like hell afterwards. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have to jump from what is basically a bit over one meter of height (which is what I guesstimate the minimum height for damage is).
You’re right, this should probably not work for (some) locked containers, but it should still work when they’re unlocked.
Again, it’s a game. Gameplay trumps realism.
Why should there be? Realism? Or do you have some explanation about how it would actually improve the gameplay for most people?
Walls are hackable. I thought that is what you meant at first. Modern day games throw up a guardian signal to stop players from putting their head through a chest, wall, etc.
Oh dont get me wrong, I think climbing with a ladder should be easier than a cliff face. I just know the last time I climbed a ladder (it was a welded steel ladder, very thin rungs, straight up, no angle) my whole body hurt after.

Dude, we eat 10 pork feasts per day and we stay fit. Before the healing change we were eating an elephant per day and still didn’t took a grammar, even Ovelix would envy us .
The thing I love the most is the sound of bones breaking each time we fall from a bit high and still we run (Forest, run).
It’s cool only in gaming , real life sucks sometimes.
Well when i was that fit irl, it was nothing to run up a latter, i once did a rock wall just with arms, i agree it should be nothing for a fit barbarian to climb a latter… but in game what purpose would that serve? Your not really in danger climbing your own latters in the saftey of base i would think
EDIT: Id like to add, now that im a bit overwieght running up a ladder isnt exactly taxing but it doesnt feel like a cakewalk either… it should probably go by weight if were gonna change it
I have seen nothing to suggest they will be weak as twigs. They may not be god mode, but not weak as twigs. Then again, stick and stones can break your bones.
Yes but what we eat in real life shouldn’t effect what we do in the game.
Quick Loot. QoL. And happy for it… that days of clicking body and trying cycle thru menu are days best left gone…
If your playing hard core survival game, and your character bends down and preforms a search, fine.
In a more action paced game… it can go the way of dodo.
In general you can look at someone… and have idea.
I don’t think there will ever be a balance way of doing it.
Guards is abit funny… I’d love it if the game kept list of people who pass thru your base. Cause guards ratted you out. XD
As for list, always found it odd how some of npc move… about there day.
