Testlive Patch Notes (22.02.2019): VOIP changes and other things

I hadn’t considered this interpretation. Definitely needs clarification for sure.

What I THINK they meant is “if no member of a clan, to which the Thrall is a part of said clan as a whole, logs in for two weeks then it’s life will be terminated.”

Forgive me if I’m mistaken, but once you join a clan, don’t all Thralls transfer into the clan? And everybody can access and use each others Thralls? Because if that’s the case, then my interpretation I believe would be correct.

I also interpreted it as if NO member of a clan logs in for two weeks.

The current hunger system in fact DOES NOT work. I know plenty of areas where the entire base has decayed and disappeared yet there are still dozens of thralls standing on the ground or floating in the air still alive for weeks after the base completely disappeared because they were loaded up with food. This is a big problem in PvE where players cannot kill the thralls.

I would like to see this updated system also applied to pets.

I kind of assumed they also meant pets, but further clarification would certainly help.

To clarify:
Both pets and thralls use a similar system to the decay system now. There is no additional hunger system for upkeep. Like with buildings, in a clan, only one member is necessary to check in on the pets or thralls to refresh their decay timer.

Thanks for all your input so far everyone. Please remember to use the focus threads for feedback and bugs. Especially feedback about the new npc camps, difficulty or anything else regarding npcs and fighting them should go into the balancing feedback :slight_smile:

Tascha, could you tell us if this update will be included in the next update which goes to Live?

Also - love Unnamed City revamp although I can not find a place to trade Fragments of Power :smiley:

It depends on how many bugs we find and need to fix. Theoretically it would be possible.

However, I would say most likely not. What will most probably happen is that the older TestLive build, that is ready to go to Live (besides the building issues we have to fix), will go to Live as planned and this current build you guys and girls are testing now, will need a bit more testing and adjustments.

The good thing is though that we gain a bit of time with testing this build already while we finalize the one going to Live next :slight_smile:

The reward system from NPCs and camp is improved i like it, and NPCs are not 100% of the time stunlocked but still quite easy to fight them. Overall i like what i see.

I ran into a low level starter river T2 fighter with a shield. That girl knew how to use her shield. Kept blocking my attacks and I honestly was wondering if one of the devs was there messing with me. Never encountered an NPC with that much desire to live.

Already loved it when it was described in the stream. Hopefully the items wont be too OP?

Interesting.
But how often do thralls eat now… or is only the decrease of health negated?

uhh nice!

Thank you!
“Hidden” Maprooms were nice, but not in trade for unknown vaults…

Interesting Change!

Reintroducing endless climbing again? (You know, climber gear with those plus any light armor for head, chest and leg piece with those kits.)
I do like this. It creates a lot more proper hiding places… (humming it’s raining men…! (from trees, cliffs and so on during nighttime))

Thank you!

Now I am curious!

Small one, like it though!

ohh… when to check these out… too many possibilites… aww.

I was attacked by some random named npc with full medium armor roaming around down at the noob river while leveling and that was really cool. More of that please, she had that new flashy healthbar. A nice surprise :slight_smile:

Seems like the US3 PVE TESTLIVE server was wiped?

I logged in on Wednesday and did some improvements to my two bases. Tamed a couple thralls. Made sure there was food. That was three days ago.

When I tried to log in this morning all it gives me is the character select.

Thank you very much for taking the time to test the changes and share your thoughts. Please remember to post your feedback in the focused sticky threads. :slight_smile:

Testlive servers will be wiped periodically as they are meant to be used by us as needed. In this case there are balance and progression changes that made us wipe characters so we can get input on leveling progression. We always do let you know if that happens. Make sure to keep an eye on the News and Announcement section of the forum. :slight_smile:

Bug
EU
Singleplayer
->
No information on the area being a no build zone. (In starting desert at the spawnpoint. Yes, I was lazy.)


Bug …or feature?
EU
Singleplayer
->
“Lying bastard sword” behaves like a onehanded axe but neighter allows throwing axes nor shields in offhand. Claims to be from the city.
May be a feature instead of a bug, I am posting anyway.
It neither can be reduced to materials in the new recycling bench.


I used up the last half hour to get a grip of the bosses locations.
You were lazy, but in a good way, as the red dragon seem to have become a mini boss now. I do like it. I was super unlucky as only one single legendary dropped. I do wonder about these heart and what to do with these fragments of power, but… well…
Edit: Just ate one of the hearts… It erases all corruption. Neat :stuck_out_tongue:

Bug
EU
Singleplayer

Is this supposed to be real? A one handed mace having a weight of 15?!


May be due to this:

Someone MUST have seen how these fragments of power are used?
Please tell me. <3

WOW, just threw one of them into the recycler…


Another edit:

Bug
EU
Singleplayer

Those minibosses can easily spawn doubled or possible even multiple on the same place?


General feedback on droprate:
I know it’s only been those few 12-14 kills, but still. Two pieces on armor and a single weapon were all I got. The stream sounded like a guarantueed weapon plus a chance on some armor piece…
Though I actually prefer it this way with lower drop chances. (I still wonder wether the fragments of power are only to be recycled.)
Also the sword of crom seems to be a tiny tad overpowered with it’s 121 damage…
Regarding the rescaled loot on named thralls… I like it! Getting hardened steel picks from some seperemu t4 fighters… Also I love how the armor pieces of the relic hunter armor can drop now from NPCs and chests in Seperemu.

Nice!!!Yes and that the game needs random things happening wartime, new creatures make the most of every map, there are many empty places that can have many dangerous creatures, it’s time to conan exiles resurrect

I do think what they actually crave for is bugreports. They just put some nice juicy worm on a hook and lure people in that way.

I would say yes, if you have the time and are willing, single player/co-op testing would be good too.

DERKETO DANCER OUTFIT - Confusion/Feedback
Ok I spawned the item in from admin mode, and found only an outfit that anyone could put together, it is a set priest top, zamorian dancer skirt, with derketo jewelry and mask? Am I right? I have put these together on vanilla servers in the past, I was hoping for a unique item set for Derketo/Lemurian Dancers? Too much to ask for? Also … am not very clear how one would get this item unless it’s off a Lemurian dancer or a Lemurian Armorer? Never really went looking for this before now.

Fragment’s of Power can be “used” in the “Archives”

Go to the same place you learn the map room. In the undead city. And look at the scrolls on the wall, press “E” to interact.

This gives you a scroll that you can use to learn a recipe.

Of note. There are 4 shelves of scrolls around the room. Only one set of the 4 gives the recipes. Located behind the “Archivist” on his left, or your right if you are facing him.

This appears to be where we learn the new weapon recipes/kiln/statues.
