Why are console players being ignored?

Cyber Punk was unplayable day 1.
Conan was playable until an update patch in the last 6 months???

Big difference. Many players played 1000s of hours. CP was immediate, and was known to not work on consoles on release. They hid it from investors. CE was an attempt to change some core mechanics that went sideways. So again different scenarios all together.

The main difference, as i see it, was the choices made by the two companies. FC hid the ‘incomplete’ state of their game from its consumers. CDPRO hid its ‘incomplete’ state from its investors.

FC released their game incomplete, let it ride!
CDPRO released their game incomplete, apologizing and refunding!

I understand EULA terms, but that is, and has always been a choice also. FC wrote their own policies and EULA. They are not beholden to it by some law or regulation. They chose to write their EULA as it is, to protect FC from any responsibilities.

I dunno where you all are getting this idea the game was released incomplete. I played it in Early Access. It was a complete game then (when I purchased it). A much simpler game than we have now, but complete.

With that said, they have added many systems to the game. MANY systems that were not there before. Many of these systems are not complete and are still being fleshed out. Many have been completed and added a ton of depth to the game that was not there.

One thing I will say however. Is I believe the console version of Conan Exiles should be the game prior to the Jungle or possibly the North being added. All the newer areas, new systems, and assets are too much for those systems to handle. The game as it is requires at a minimum a PS5 to play. So its either revert the game to an earlier state, or drop Xbox and PS4 support. Probably likely the latter (giving xbox users a copy on Steam or PS5).

The EULA for CE on XB. It literally states there that the game is sold, as is, and in an uncompleted state. FC called it uncompleted in their own, lawyer written EULA

I agree, I thought about switching to a computer, but I really don’t want to do it, I like the gameplay on the console …

Playable is… a… opinion term.

CE at release was “play-able-ish” It crashed enough times, and had broken hit boxes, magic moving enemies and assorted other issues. That they said they would fix.
besides… its Conan and it worked well enough.

Its also a PC game… I know going into it, It wasn’t gonna be a top tier release.

Funcom didnt really hide anything. CDPR, gonna did what it could to play off its ps4(console) crowd till release and we got a “Oh suprise!!, here your burning dumpster fire!”

Cyberpunk was on my must have list… till those early copies got out and I was like Oh GOD… this is nothing like it was shown. XD

CE on other hand was pretty much exactly what they showed. I’m happy with purchase.
Thou unhappy with many of unasked changes… and unfuxed issues, and being several months behind in updates. Still happy with my purchase.

Cyberpunk on other hand… Thankfully they took refunds. I await the day I get a decent PC. Or find ps5… and they patch the hell out of it.

Yeah, you might want to rephrase that.

I’m a console player, I’m still having fun, and I’m looking forward to the (well communicated) issues with XBox being sorted so we can get back to looking forward to patches, updates & Siptah.

Console should be happy they haven’t gotten any post siptah updates.

New benches are terrible. New healing is terrible, and until siptah gets it’s rework that map is a dumpster fire.

If you’re not farming the storm for ??? you’re farming vaults for eldarium to delve recipes. doing anything else feels like a waste of time.

As a PS4 player I’m just glad it runs well with my ssd. I’m not a fan of many of the new changes. Especially any of the “Balance Reworks” they sound like they make the game stiffer than it already is.

Please just make the game work. I appreciate what they’re trying to do with Siptah though I do think that they aren’t going about it the right way.

Just make it fun please.

You don’t have to use new benches, some of us pvp’ers would like healing changes, Siptah is not an update and we all knew it wouldn’t be on console until full release.

And you forgot the exploit fixes pc got.

Just to be clear I have no interest, nor do I believe I’m entitled to a refund. The game is still playable now, and still fun, it just needs work. Exploit fixes and bug fixes are what I made the post about. I don’t even care much for the Siptah map yet. Just looking for base game repairs and some of the nicer updates eg follower distance that PC has received. Not trying to paint the company as a whole in a bad light cause they do some awesome work, more so directed squarely at the communication or lack there of and of course the lack of action on the console side. Didn’t mean for this thread to go down the path of refunds or dropping support for consoles. I’m outspoken and frustrated lol not looking to stir up a lynch mob.

yes you need to use the new benches btw.

You get stuff 33% cheaper in the Garrison bench compared to Improved bench.

Yes, that is good, but you don’t need it.

Also makes no sense to claim they are terrible and claim you need them. If you think you need them, they aren’t terrible.

And if it’s a size thing, make a sh!tty sandstone hut to craft in outside raid hours.

I don’t like their size but I’m 100% sure I could live without them inside my base. When I play solo I already don’t have half of the (old) benches inside my base.

Mobs are started when ppl of like opinion reach a boiling point, simultaneously. It takes very little to motivate fustrated ppl to speak up.

May 2020 was last update.

FC received loads of money from Sony when they offered CE as free download. Later ten cent bought FC. Millions more $.

Seems they don’t care to fix anything except their wallets.

Btw that’s our thrawl stuck in mesh trying to fight rhino boss.

Consoles also got update 41 in August, it just doesn’t say in the client main menu (on PS4 at least).

But yeah, still tons of PC updates ago.

Hello everyone,

We are working on the parity update and we hope to have more news to share soon. Please keep following new posts on the Forums and on the Conan Exiles Social Media channels.

Thanks for your support and patience.

Why are the FC devs working on parity? XB is broke AF…but that is the FC way, just keep adding more to something that barely works as is…another excellent decision. It can only make things better right? Adding more lines to code that is already broken…

Mayra there’s been no official announcements since January 6th. The devs need to get busy. Septah has been out for pc for half a year so there is no excuse for blowing us offlike that.
