That’s a cool idea! I’d like to see that.

PC is more “Trying out stuff and fixing it!” friendly. See this like FF14 Restart that turned into the one we know. They first made the PC Client nice and stable, then they gone made the Console Clients.
in a way, the PC Clients are the better Alpha-Testers

I played some more and I’d like to do some appreciation/critique.
I usually play offline solo, and I often boost the server in some way (notably by reducing crafting time by 50%, thrall conversion rate by 90%, and having resource gathering multiplied by 10) in order to actually progress in an acceptable timeframe. This time, I started a game with only halved crafting times and 3x boost to resources.
Currently, the early game rewards exploration and camp raiding a lot more than resource gathering. Sure, by gathering you are making a ton of XP, especially if you early gather Brimstone and Black Ice. However, raiding a camp rewards you with 1) resources such as leather and steel 2) Supply Material crates and gravedigging loot 3) High-quality weapons and armor. Instead of hiding in your hole and gathering strength until you are ready to face what’s outside, going out and engaging in camp raiding is dangerous but HIGHLY rewarding. Also, gathering thralls is much more enjoyable: before lvl30, converting a T3 thrall is a chore, so having the possibility of instantly converting a thrall simply by killing an enemy is a massive plus.
I really like this new early game: it is more ferocious and aggressive, and you do not feel like a scared puppy that needs to hide.
One thing I absolutely DO NOT like, however, is the prerequisite to gravedigging. In my run, I found 2 broken Gravediggers inside a Supply Crate, and suddenly I was able to gather extra loot. I personally find this current state of affairs quite stupid: I should not require a shovel made of frigging Star Metal in order to dig a hole and a broken one at that. If I may propose an alternative, I would personally change it like you can craft shovels at the Blacksmith’s Bench that unlock with Iron, Steel, and Hardened Steel Tools, such as
Iron Shovel = 50 Iron Bar, 10 Wood. Can dig 5 graves.
Steel Shovel = 50 Steel Bar, 10 Shaped Wood. Can dig 10 graves.
Hardened Steel Shovel = 50 Hardened Steel Bar, 10 Shaped Wood. Can dig 15 graves.
If the shovel is broken, you cannot dig.
EDIT: Obviously ignore the numbers, it’s the mechanic that counts.
Maybe you’ve already tried this, but I personally think it might be an improvement instead of gatekeeping the possibility of digging graves in the early game through RNG, which is never fair.

The Accursed Citadel is the large NPC camp north of the Dark Tower in the center of the map on the Isle of Siptah.
Excellent! I just made a set of Dragonbone armor (yesterday) and was mildly curious why no dragon bones were needed. I was glad, as I’d yet to find a dragon to harvest bones from, but good to have it proper now.
Thank you so much for the noisy bug fix! It WAS the singular most annoying sound in all of Conan’s adventures.
What is it that y’all did exactly? The games been dead more then ever before … PvP is controlled by horses and thralls still … people keep on exploiting cause it’s so easy it blows my mind? All you re doing is pve stuff that pvers even them selves get bored after 1 week of playing like come on where is the PvP over haul my goodness how hard is it for you guys? It’s been 2 years and you’ve only managed to make the game worse and worse it’s mind boggling how long this game takes just to make it good it seriously doesn’t take much you guys think anyone will play dune if you can’t finish conan?

I am upset all of the new recipes have been removed from the Exiled Lands. While I could understand removing the Voidforged weapons for obvious reason, to also remove fast elevators, all the deco, and the new armor just seems a kick in the teeth for players who prefer EL over Siptah, especially since for many Siptah still feels like too small a map to play enjoyable compared to EL.

Why can’t we just learn the Silent Legion armors along with the heavy armor in Black Keep?
edit: Dragonbone Armor should be teached along with the Dragonbone Weapons. Splitting things up that belong together is really weird. 
The Exiled Lands and Siptah should have their own unique weapons and armor to keep players motivated to travel between maps. However, Silent Legion and Dragonbone have been part of the base game for a very long time, so it makes more sense to include this armors there as well. For Siptah one could easily have devised other concepts with their own names. For example elderbone armor or something like that.
Definitely! Khari belongs to the Wine Cellar dungeon. just don’t name the armor khari if you want to drop it on the other side of the world.
Wait, hold on, why? The Khari Empire wasn’t that city underneath Sepermeru. It’s kinda like saying “you can’t call this item Darfari unless you get it from the Summoning Place” or “you can’t call this architecture Stygian if you’ve placed it anywhere outside Sepermeru”…

In my opinion, it’s a game design thing not to complicate things unnecessarily. Players will likely wonder why they learn the Silent Legion heavy armor in a dungeon, but the medium and light variant is hidden behind an RNG Lottery on another Map. I completely excluded the lore of the game world. Although in your example the Darfari armor is really only dropped by Darfari NPCs. You will hardly find them in the Cimmerians of the Mounts of the Dead. In this respect, Conan Exiles already follows a certain logic, why should you change it now?
I agree that this does seem very confusing if you’re trying to square it with the game’s lore. Most players probably don’t care about that (it doesn’t really bother me much either) but I always do appreciate a game when it manages to be consistent with it’s own internal rules.
