Thank you community for your continued support and your feedback and suggestions. Most of these changes and additions stem directly from your input! And as always, all this new content is free and available to everyone that owns the main game!

Fight your way through the secrets within the Sunken City, where a Great Old One is about to tear through the membrane of reality and unleash a new age of horror upon the known world. If saving the world isn’t your thing, there’s also new loot and recipes worthy of the Deep Ones!

Complete revamp of major capitals
Sepermeru, New Asagarth, The Summoning Place and the Volcano have been re-worked and re-populated adding new NPCs and bosses, along new rewards and loot for those brave enough to challenge these new locations.

Separate TestLive Product on Steam

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

I heard from someone on my server that Dual Wielding Axes was mentioned on the livestream, but there are no notes covering this in the patchnotes. Can you please add the specifics for this feature?

Also, with the new content being Persian themed, I think you missed a classic opportunity to have dual wielded Scimitars! (And we should be able to Dual Wielding any one-handed weapon anyway!)

Thank you!

Overall, I have a positive impression about the patch. Thank you for continuing to work!
I am very disappointed with the decision on the potion of Set.
I believe that it should remove the bleeding. This is the logic. Serpentine poison coagulates blood -> stop bleeding. Without this it would be impossible to fight in pvp. Daggers will be as effective as possible, because bleeding can reach up to 20 pieces. The duration of the bleeding is very great, the impossibility of stopping -> death.
I think you should think better about this point. I am very disappointed with this.

I am disappointed that you post passing judgement about it with being completely ignorant to the fact that the violet curealls are supposed to be the potions to do it.

Also where are the fixes to Jebbal Sag and the spear changes? thoses are the most needed right now.

I think some things are being left out to not be total spoilers. Live stream did have some info, but there are people who liked to be surprised. some things need to be in the notes, ie, fixes and over all idea of patch. but specifics like every new item, beast and thrall are spoilers to some.

Violet Curail is easier to mine now with the unnamed city drops. and i believe it still stops bleed.

If someone doesn’t want spoilers, they don’t need to read the patch notes.

Unless it’s a specific item, I don’t see information on a new feature as a spoiler. The thing is, this is a big change to combat, and details on it should be pretty open and transparent so the player base can wrap their head around the new meta.

Will this be a specific item that is used as “Dual Wielded Axes”? Or will we be able to use any one handed axe for dual wielding? If this is the case, how does the damage from the second Axe get normalized in comparison to other one handed weapons that do not get dual wielding? How does this dual wielding compare to daggers? What are the ups and downs of each type? Are there plans for other one-handed weapons to become dual wielded? Will you be able to mix and match?

There are a lot of questions that arise with this kind of change to combat mechanics and I’m just looking for more information in order to make a better informed decision on what direction to take my characters. And also what to expect while out in the general world as well.

So i can’t see if they fixed a bug I may have reported??? It is on test live, spoilers will leak if you look hard enough. The info you want will be in those threads. Listing every single new item is overkill.

It is not a new thing, it is basically just daggers with an axe skin with the exact same moveset.

I’ve heard about a Mod that does this, but the server I play on doesn’t have it. If this is the case, it’s not a big deal for me to worry about, but I’d still like to know exactly what it is and have confirmation one way or another.

Thanks.

Im using them in game right now, standard damage dagger moveset. Its pretty much just like the mod

I’m not asking for EVERY ITEM to be listed like a database or Wiki page… I’m asking for basic information on a new feature. Something like this has the potential to change combat in drastic ways. A little information to clarify is all i’m asking for.

It’s axes in dual dagger form. A legendary weapon. There was also a pair of swords that did the same or similar on stream. It’s not a new class of weapon, just a new legendary weapon.

It’s probably the same method that Lexa used in Exile Lands Improved mod, as well as what I and Lexa did for the Javelin Improved mod.

Thank you. That answers a lot of questions I had about it. Not what I was hoping for, content-wise, but it’s something at least.

Yamatai foundation and stair railling still not fix on this patch ?
