With the letter from the producer, we were told AoS will have only 3 chapters, with a new Age following it. What do you think we’ll have? I was joking with a friend that it will be Age of Gunpowder Imagine Conan, but with GUNS hahahahahaha
While personally I hope it will be an Age of the Gods, which will encompass an often sought after religion overhaul, I am thinking not this coming one. When considering the outlined Pet rework, I suspect it will be an Age of Beasts. While I would prefer the prior, if the latter were to contain Camel and Elephant mounts, some new Pets, skins and accessories, I would be so in for it! After all I am kind of an animal lover at heart.
I don’t know what it “will” be, but I do know what it “should” be: something to do with Purges, AI pathing, thrall behaviors – its all long overdue for an overhaul. One of the best, most loved systems in Conan Exiles desperately needs some love.
I would love to see a “rescue” system instead of forced slavery as an alternative, but I don’t know if we’ll see that or not. They started to do something like that with caged thralls on the Isle of Siptah, but because it was part of a paid expansion, no modder can get access to gameplay. So, unless a modder wants to create something like that from scratch, we can’t be “anti-slavers” to get thralls for our bases. We can’t “rescue” anyone. We can’t be the hero like Conan was – we have to be a competing slaver.
Think?
This one has no idea, but this one will instead share two hopes.
The Age of War.
New siege engines both offense and defense.
New beast options focused for sieges.
Expanded Purges that appear with those siege tools and can be repelled with them.
Continued update for pets and thralls.
Finish fleshing out tiers for Claws/Punch Daggers, Double Axe/Sword weapons.
Armour adjustments (this one personally finds heavy armour to not really be in a good place right now, PvP or PvE, your mileage may vary)
The Age of Civilization, Ancient and Wicked.
Revamp of Food/Drink recipes and bonuses.
Tinkering with/expansion of the sated, sheltered and entertained statuses.
Dress up with the worker thralls.
Applying dye to build pieces.
Revamp of Religion system to perhaps incorporate a benefit for having a temple in a fortress and something other than the bubble and feast for long term blessings.
Neither are realistic, but his one can dream.
In general this one hopes thrall cages are added to Exiled lands so we can have rescue options.
We do have a rescue system for the Isle of Siptah in the form of slaying jailors and freeing captives from hardened steel cages. The Exiled Lands (EL) however has yet to see a rescue system implemented. As it would happen Bodin I have been sitting on a suggestion for a rescue system for the EL for a little while now. And I think it may fit the narrative you cinceptualised in your post well.
I’m so with you on this one. Imagine seeing some filthy purgers slowly wheeling a battering ram up to your gate or hurling boulders at your walls. Somewhat competent AI attacking and defending your base? That would be amazing.
