I would not mind some officials at the current difficulty and some at barbaric. This way there is a more relaxed and or forgiving place for those who do not want to play at that level or who are new, but also a harder difficulty for those who frankly want it. I see no problem with more options like this (since the options are already in the base game anyway).
Finally.
Finally.
Come on guys, I need more signatures here, please, please, please, please.
YES.
It’s been almost 3 years here begging for this, @shepherd404, thanks for bringing it up .
Barbaric difficulty must exist for many reasons. The most important is the challenge. Most of the players playing this game are the old ones, veterans . Even if I had to pay for an official barbaric server I would definitely do it, I don’t care,
Please Funcom, bring it on.
I would be interested in officials having different settings overall not just the barbaric one. I know I already commented it on another post but I will fight for my cause even though it probably doesn’t matter lmao.
Sorry for double posting, I just find a break here to add something I missed, but very important.
IT IS THE BALANCE!!!
Every game I play, every single title I always grind to death until I finish it to the hardest mode of it. Playing games to the hardest mode you always understand and appreciate every single item of the game, you understand the reason of existence on everything. Playing barbaric mode you will use every single weapon the game provides because it is counter to a mob, or a boss. You will use different combos in each weapon, yet prepare to die a lot , bedrolls are your most precious items in this mode.
But I will go back to balance…
Playing especially survival games, they focus on hunger and thirst to make your experience difficult, which making this situation annoying.
Devs in Conan exiles have balanced the game beautiful, way better than any other survival game I played so far, you feel the challenge, you know that you can do it, just with caution. If you just rant in to it you are so dead, I am telling you it’s perfect.
On single player however you miss spawns and it is very annoying, plus all the official players, do not play there because it is free, but because of the absence of the admin. That’s why I beg for this all this time.
@SirDaveWolf
On pc…
YES…
Make me cry once more…
In any case, it would be really thoughtful from you, but i believe that people here want the official option for obvious reasons, at least I can speak for @Zeb for sure. We want official so our efforts will be valid, without doubt. I have it because I did it, nobody give it to me and even if someone did the gift is great because it demanded effort to gain it and gift it.
One small example…
One of the best players on 3728 @Lordgangsta29 once lagged in the sinchole obelisk, then the server crushed. So he lost all his inventory, since the server restored an hour later, so he was ready to rage quit and never come back. I jumped in the soonest possible, I had a delay since I am Greece and he is Canada, he was posting at the time I was in my deapest sleep . I farmed almost everything he lost the soonest possible, because in these servers the players are family and the restore of the loot demands team effort so this makes it feel like home. One for all and all for one, this is why official servers.
I feel like they may be able to minimize server mergers by giving some officials per region, per mode/map. Pve pvc and PvP. I appreciate the feedback. I miss d the polling option after this discussion closes I’ll work on that
I am sorry my friend I don’t quite understand your question. Forgive my poor English, can you be more specific.
Yet if I understand, probably not, lvl 60 in barbaric mode is like all the modes, you hit the same but npcs and mobs fell less and hurt more, piece of cake .
Just, no matter the build, make sure Arena champion won’t land a heavy attack on you .
I remember when in 2017 I enjoyed killing hordes of NPCs and testing my solo skills. The game has changed a lot, a lone player wouldn’t want extreme difficulties. Use the private server. If the weight wouldn’t have affected the character’s movement, I would have told you “okay” but this is a game loved by soloists too. And no one would like to pass for the “nabbo” who plays normal, when everyone goes to barbaric difficulty. I play alone, and I have to rely on thralls to get by in the fight in 2022.
