I know there are a lot of honest, fair-minded people out there playing Conan, but the cheaters have won as far I’m concerned. I have been playing Conan for 2 years now, I have a little over 5,000 hours in. I have had lots of fun, fair battles on many servers. But the cheaters run us off time and time again. So now the game is ruined. Ruined by cheaters, but also by Funcom, because they have removed the only way we could tell who was online. Why did they do that? What possible reason could they have for hiding the names of players? One of the best games I have ever played is now a sour taste in the mouth. I think I will never buy a game from Funcom again.
That is why they remove player list that we cant report cheater direct to steam.I know how Battleye work and that is the worst protection for games now.Many games leave battleye and got new protection.
Feel ya Toad, played on many servers with ya from time to time, but it seems the same group of hackers/cheaters/exploiters whatever you want to call them have been running the show and Funcom doesn’t have the BALLS to do anything other than half measures and fixes that dont work. I’m currently on 1588 and the crap in the images below is happening.
We have an issue with this on server 1808 with the most infamous if the all AiA his crew is currently DDOSing the server to walk into people’s bases or to clip run in fights. Almost killed a dude and all of a sudden server hit 1020 ping and hit 2 frames and all of a sudden stuffs getting pulled out of our benchs without a single bomb being used
One of the many reasons for the vocal visibility in player list is that some people use it to dox and harrass in real life people who actually play fair.
Funcom in this moment is doom if they did, damn if they didn’t.
Wait…wait. So you take a players in game name, their steam name and that’s enough info to dox a person? How big of pussie do you need to be to do that to someone? Poor excuse
Well, you can get social infos, like facebook, twitter, reddit and the like. People actually do this things, there was couple of forum posts from people getting harrassed on facebook from an enemy clan.
I understand what you say, and I totally agree. I was actually stream sniped and threatened (succesfully) to not stream from official servers, I was followed over several servers and some more. It went along the lines “you stop streaming from official servers or will come and wipe you whereever you go”, but that has much less to do with player list since you can see the server name when in the menù.
You are correct, stream sniping has little to do with the player list and EVERYTHING to do with you voluntarily putting yourself in the public eye and streaming while doing things like opening inventory and showing your server. I know a lot of streamers that play fair that are not being chased from server to server in this and other survival games.
Last year sometime It was suggested by a friend that I check out a female streamer that plays Conan who was constantly whining about being stream sniped because she is a female. I tuned in a few times (couldn’t take more) and almost laughed out loud thinking ‘of course you think you are being followed and harassed because you are female, it couldn’t possibly be because of your constant antagonizing behavior or obnoxious attitude on stream that I couldn’t take more than ten minutes of at a time’. Every complainer in Conan is a true ‘victim’ of course.

Are you parroting or you know how this is actually supposedly accomplished? I am fairly certain I know the answer so no need to reply.
The people getting harassed on Facebook are those likely sharing too much information on stream, in discord and with others that led to someone finding their social media. Happens all the time and it is not happening because someone can see their in-game character name and click on it. If this were the case, people could just use the steam recent game player list and use their steam profile to grab that info so removing the player list wouldn’t help even if this were (and it isn’t) a valid issue.

I call BS on people getting IPs from just the player server list to ‘dox’ and harass people that ‘play fair’ in real life. No, if it is happening, they are likely getting the IP from voice chatting in steam or skype or clicking on links after adding someone they shouldn’t have to their steam friend list ect and it is much more likely they are harassed for actions other than simply ‘playing fair’.
Over all I feel the first step is disabling family share. The vast majority of cheaters are playing on dummy acounts under a VPN so when they get ban they just make a new dummy account and move forward. Doing this will start costing money to the cheater as they will have to actually buy a new copy of the game. The second thing funcom need to do is have a better report system and more public form of punishing these cheaters (I suggest a weekly stream of it) to show both the players and the cheaters that funcom is doing something because as it stands neither believe funcom will do anything and if they do it minimal at best.
Yea Official #1650 has been plagued by hackers for almost a week now running around invisible and speed hacking killing people in and out of their bases, looting everything. First his name was Mo Farahh, Next it was Admin Panel, now it’s just Blank as in this. " [ ] ".
Funcom doesn’t actually monitor their “Official” servers, not even the occasional random check. Apparently they longer care about their game since they are being bought by Tencent.
My suggestion is for anyone playing Officials until Funcom wishes to Prove “US” the player base wrong, is to move onto another game that is maintained by Company that cares more about the people (players) who pay their salaries. As without players there would not be a Funcom.
This is solely my opinion, if you agree with it feel free to give it a like before they lock the topic or delete it.
