Are there wheels on this compass?
A compass is a cup of water, a piece of wood, and a metal rod; needle.
YOU don’t need it.
What I find aggravating is, this is just a compass, you don’t have to use it, yet you are going to gripe about it being in game for other people because YOU don’t need it?
And I’m the one that can’t see the game though others eyes?
I’ve been requesting a compass since the game dropped.
Back in my day… In early EverQuest there were no maps or compass and if you wanted to maybe know which way you were headed you had to repeatedly mash the Sense Heading key for days to build up the skill.
Shakes cane at the sky. Uphill in the snow both ways, barefoot!
Unless it is tied into some other game play element it will be useful for few.
I personally don’t think it is added value 
A compass sounds awesome. I’m not sure why it’s a complaint. (maybe they’ll let you toggle it on and off? /shrug)
I mean, in a sense, we already have a really crappy compass. Any time you open the map it shows you what direction you’re facing.
But a compass is far less annoying than flipping the map open and close all the time.
We’re adding a compass! Unlock the Wayfinder knowledge to learn how to never get lost again. Once crafted, simply keep it in your inventory and you’ll see a new heading indicator next to your temperature.
There’s really no reason for anyone to complain. The compass’s existence can be ignored if you don’t like it. 
Since it’s an item you have to craft just don’t craft it.
Exactly. As I said in another thread - I don’t care about it, and wouldn’t have cared if it wasn’t added. But so long as it’s optional (and it clearly is), I see no problem with it being added.
If there was some argument that it was a really complex bit of programming and therefore it had taken meaningful time away from something else, I might see a complaint - but it clearly isn’t complex and wasn’t majorly time consuming to create, so it likely didn’t cost much in terms of other things that could have been done with the time.
I do see that there is an argument that its addition speaks to the further reduction in ‘survival’ elements - but that seems to be a train that long since left the station.
You still have to open the map regardless. Why ? Because a compass just shows direction you are going nothing else. Welcome to why you are a teardrop on the map. The game is graph grid based not directional.
I would disagree as someone who has funded this game for years via purchases and the battlepasses. It’s a waste of resources and the money they conned the community out of.
Phew, yes. Imagine what the developers could have done with all the work that went into compass. An upgrade to Unreal Engine 5, perhaps, or a completely new map! It’s a real shame about the thousands of lost hours of work. 
What fascinates me is you actually think everyone isn’t already well aware of this. I know it all seems new to some one your age, but those of us old enough to play Conan exiles are well aware of this.
Amazing.
For one, not meaning to down play modders efforts, and I expect to be corrected if wrong, but it seems a compass would be a modder 101 thing.
The question is why did funcom drag their feet on it for so long?
Oh, yes, let me simplify, Bob got the compass done during lunch and never set his sandwich down. So little to no drain on resources.
I agree. On the other hand, Bob’s lunchbreaks may be the only time, Conan Exiles will get attention from Funcom devs, making one of such lunch breaks a relatively big portion of the resources available.
Like to argue with that but it seems like Conan has become a garage game and the devs have day jobs.
I almost hate to say this; but real people like that … are doomed.
Seriously, they’re supposed to be focused on fixing the game…
so how did they let some goofball throw that in there.
Besides, if I absolutely just couldn’t live with out it and simply just had to have it …
1 silver for the casing. 1 iron (totally wasted) for the needle), 1 glass (also wasted) for the cover … filled with water.
I can almost imagine how this damned thing is going to work too, in spite of the current environment (which was thrown out of whack in the first place).
All the more reason to have North pointing somewhere other than up.
In fact, maybe the devs should make it so that you’re also be required to shoot an azimuth from time to time. 
I swear some people just have to have a reason to gripe and complain, no matter how trivial.
I’m of the opinion if a funcom rep said they were changing the slaver outfirt’s tattered cloth from red to blue, there’d be people on here threatening to quit the game.
OH MY GOD FUNCOM"S PUTTING IN A COMPASS IT"S THE END OF THE GAME.
Honestly, I think we’d be better off without a map.
I had this same conversation on stream this morning.
I loved learning that bringing a two handed weapon into the jungle at night was an unwise choice.
So we have a magic orb of light around us but the changes and level locked the eye system for "realism. "
Age of War+ has been one crap sandwich after another with so few bright spots like seeing and setting thrall behavior in their inventory screen and the action based swan dive emote.
March 25 is a Tuesday. This means, with any luck, the unfound bugs introduced during this process may be able to be addressed prior to having, another, weekend Age of Authentication.
That is it?
Well that is crap. Looks like a worthless waste of iron.
But hey, that is why funcom is a verb “they sure funcomed that”.
