At least there’s still a select few who see the potential in the game but know the game is getting worse and worse. Also I put close to 10k hours into pvp but stopped a few updates ago and I can say you nailed it with this assessment
I was very happy with the sorcery. It was very in line with the lore and didn’t change the game at a fundamental level. I was really worried that there would be Skyrim type of fireball-spells. It would be like including machine guns in the game. What we got was a dark and sinister sorcery used for local defence, to gather resources - or for raiding. The bat did really good things for the PvP scene. That being said, Funcom is spectacularly good at failing with their updates!
This is the go to channel for depressing conan content. U want people to keep playing, id stick to tips and tricks. U want negativity, u got it. U really bring the community together😒
We cannot deny this game has improved over the years, but I think the problem is how long it took to get to how it is today , I personally think they arent involved at all with the community, since most peoples reactions to updates are confusion or disappointment, rarely have funcom made a update that was good or wanted , and if a update was good there was still some game breaking bug that arrived with it so it killed the excitement on release . I still to this day think that funcom do not know what game they are trying to make , its supposed to be a MMO RPG , but with every update it feels more like a SP game with a pinch of multiplayer. Overall I stopped playing this game a few months ago , and I've never felt better , no more stress over incompetent devs or game breaking updates 😂
I agree that the updates are lackluster. Especially since Tencent bought them... I think right now since they are focused on Dune most of their staff is working on that... I'm pretty sure they are thinking that they are going to make a lot of money with it... I don't necessarily think the hype is there, but who knows I could be wrong.
Started playing the game a year ago now. I have been having a lot of fun in pvp but i see the point you are making. A lot of the updates and changes just don't make much sense
Yeah I stop supporting funcon but love to support TH-cam Contant creators that still make contact about Conan and I am not surprised on how things are going with the game I mean chapter 3 came out and they couldn’t even get the third mount to work correctly and told people see you mid January we’re on holiday break seriously that’s why I’m done good to see you are still doing videos and hanging in there hope he gets better
I still remember when the devs said features couldn't be added to the game, and people pointed to mods that did what they said was impossible to do. That cracks me up to this day. Now the bugs and crashing that comes with new updates just shows that the updates can't have been tested properly before implemented. Now some coding can create problems with other code lines when updated, but it shouldn't completely break features or make the game unplayable. In theory you should have people working on the bugs that have a general understanding of how the features was implemented, or at the very least that it's documented properly. The update should not become a crime scene where a wood chipper was involved in gore for the game itself, and you need to bring in a Viscera Cleanup Detail team after every update. There has to be a better way to handle it than that. And as we depart, the angry comment will be posted: REEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Cheers.
So I've watched the entire post.. I can see where you're coming from I've been playing on Xbox since it came out on here I love the game we are running our own server and have basically 3 small villages on here lol and we don't have much lag on here even with 2 barkeeps. So could this expansion be better oh yeah 100% but its not bad for what it is.. The Bazaar is a huge money pit the yes I have bought some things for building bigger better bases, I look forward to the next chapter and hope for better. As far as magic.. I'm the sorcerer in our group and to be honest I think they kept it true to how magic worked in the movies.. It wasn't a I say a few words and it cast.. It was chanting around a fire building the spell so based on the back story of Conan it's true to form
U really should come bro, there' everything u enjoyed, strong pvp players, "no age of war shi***, farm is x10 and we give stater kits to clans that start late. And the pvp events I organize are next lvl! I'm working on the video atm but u'll ee it's fun and creative! Give it a try!@@Mahazioth
I have come to terms that the success of Conan pvp wasn't anything about the game but a time filler of COVID lockdown. I mean almost every PvPer complains at each update and hot fix. Hell you are monetized by creating this echo chamber of disgruntled players. But the truth is, this dream of old was because many of us had too much time on our hands and a need to escape. Now that I'm back in the office, pvp is a time sink and full of toxicity. That just won't change regardless of the did everything you all want. As for updates, what, specifically, is worthy of free content? The bugs? Yeah that's sheet and why I love to watch your feedback because your big feedback is spot on. The rest....you are trying to bring back a time that can't exist anymore. We don't have the free time to play pvp anymore and the cheaters and others that simply are jerks dominate since the game doesn't wipe officials. There aren't enough good honorable players anymore to make pvp something to come back to.
It is really simple. If they dedicate their time to fixing the code or what ever it is that causes 0-20 players to not jank out the game... but 20+ and it all starts to fall apart online.... this game would see 100x the players flock to the game. Period.
Also I've been playing since very early beta... Before combat, before the highlands. Have almost 10k hours between a few accounts. I agree with much of what you said but I still enjoy the game and the misadventures I've had with friends and enemies 😆
Since the recent update I decided to log back in to SP(4k hours ex-pvper). In that time I built 4 bases, full sized bases. Volcano, 2 in the rainforest and one on ironbreaker. 4 of 4 time I started with a check and triggered the purge FIRST. 4 of 4 times once I finished building something worth defending there would be no reachable positions. The last purge I could spawn had the final wave spawn on the tent roof and failed to complete I'm an unreal dev, survival games as well and I just logged off. I know the API's they are using and it boggles my mind that they didn't do the purge mechanics PROPERLY. I even send them a plan as to exactly ow they should do it. The Purge should build a FOB near your base out of buildparts. They treb\god you. What we got was hilariously stupid. The AI's can only navigate through doorways because they use the default navmesh. So they had to give the demolishers one shot ability on the doors otherwise us 'experienced PVP'ers would just give them a hundred doors to get through that would never work. Funcom know SO little about how PVP'ers raid that they don't even know how to simulate a proper raid. No bombs. No gas arrows. GIGANTIC unclimbable undestroyable actors spawned in that hardly fits anywhere. AI's can't climb. Admittedly this would be 'harder' with no navmesh but not super hard. Just make the AI's peel off and obstructions with arrows then just go straight up. Easy, just play the climbing animation until the mantling animation at the top. Have a purge that lands via bat or something bigger if there player builds somewhere hard. Have the purge start cast zombie spells or lightening as part of the attack. When the purge steals things it should be your GEAR as well, which is then stored in a defended 'vault' in the FOB which you can couter-raid to get your gear back. The treasure chest was never needed it was done that way because the devs needed to do something achievable. Why are the dev's all juniors now? Because Funcom must no be PAYING for talent. I can do everything above and I'm only an indie dev with a day job. (I won't go in to the details, but I have already build out the code for some parts I mentioned above in my own game). I just shake my head.
I have a video in the works discussing the purge system and a lot of what you just said is what I have encountered. I had one door and they could not spawn, I placed the coffer outside, they spawned and attacked the building. That's when I knew I needed to explore this more and make a video.
I don't hold to one game, nor do I play more than one game at a time, I cycle through my favorites and once I've lost interest I move to the next in line cycling back at a later date, as far as this new privacy tab, I think it's a bunch of BS, clicking in that box is not going to happen and I'm annoyed that it's in my face every time I access the settings panel. It just seems weird that all of a sudden game producers are creating and or making changes to the way they want us to play weather than just leaving them alone and the changes are one sided. Bethesda is another that's making unwanted changes to their games.
Have almost 10k hours gameplay and have been on since it first launched pre-1.0 as sandbox - gods, that was a messy batch of fun :). Stuck with private and modded community since realising that most official servers were just meaningless (for my gameplay interests) PIPPI's Joshtech is a God! Funcom never paid for his stuff so have not incorperated. Without PIPPI, the game is silly. Listening to rants and nonsense re the offical servers is tedious for me. The game is hugely complicated and, in my opinion, should never have bothered offering non-PC gameplay as I don't think that the game is/was/will be suited to all platforms. Joel moved from Conan to Dune a long while back and Dennis is a good fit for driving new content in - but with all the various platforms? Yikes! I have private servers that have had consistent players from the moment of creation. Many Admin mates have also had same since having private servers was a thing. I am looking forward toteh fixes and the next Chapter's content. I think it will be a lot of fun. My core players still have fun in the game all these years on. The 'rage-quitters'? Meh. Besides, there are other great games out there that also need players.
Every player who's been around for at least a couple of years in Conan knows that this video is 110% true. The sad thing is Funcom's focused on short-term money-grabbing at the expense of those who've been along for the ride for years. That's a surefire way to lose your game/business/wtv in record time. Imagine... actively going against what your loyal customer base ASKS for and expecting not to go under. Clowns. At the end of the day we'll move on to some other game whilst they'll be looking for another job.
Yeaaa… sorcery is not really useful besides a few things, but at least that chapter did not destroy core mechanics. Age of war ruined so much stuff, all i do is building now. And before i do that i play other games. Age of war was like “we want the player to be the hero” and one update later “we nerfed stamina” cant even swing full combos by default anymore. And “we reduced the aggro range of thralls in camps but make them Hit harder so players can focus on the fight” and then rework purge where you get stunned non stop by like 50 thralls at same time… Tavern stuff is optically a cool thing, but it lags the hell outta bases and the good thralls are very rare, so just ended up removing the tavern again. But i think and hope the false ban issue woke up a lot people. 🙈
Ever since they listen to the "please nerf the thralks" jackasses the game went down hill. I told them thr guys dying to thralls don't belong in pvp anyways, they clearly suck if a buggy AI poorly coded thrall can kill them. When bosses had lots of hp thr game was like dark souks, you use to have to prepare to fight a boss
Yep same with the specialized thrall hunt you had to do to get geared up well… removing that made thrall hunting useless n boring for me. They were a good reason to raid someone. But no too difficult 🙄
So I have been playing for more than 4k hours, A lot of your points are viable, but you do way too much rent, and it takes away from your points; things like: "You can't be mad or happy cause you haven't played enough", "casual players aren't the one who play much" no my dude, that's just salt, I'm 100% a casual player and I still come to this game every month. But still, there are plenty of good points. first, There are plenty of things I like about Conan, i enjoy the game, but it is very true that these updates have basically added barely anything and have simply been focused on putting out bazaar items, it's really where all their time goes; making money. As a role-player, I do enjoy these new assets, and I do buy them, but the content they are putting out is just so badly done and not well thought out: The magic system is so bare-boned, the Stygian raid is made exceedingly inefficiently, and laggy, the purges are barely worth it and the pathing is awful, and the tavern stuff barely has any utility. Look I love the tavern idea, it's not something mods have done, and trust me I've played a lot of mods, but to only put that out after months?! Not even fix their nonsense and then put out more shit to buy as if that's supposed to be the content. No, that's fucking awful.
Surprised you didint talk about the changes to the pvp specifically with the q lock and how you can't turn your character while attacking anymore, but yeah us OG conan players just expect disappointment now and it does break my heart. It really does have the potential to be the best survival and no other game is anything like it. But they need to care about the pvp more specifically official servers and try and address the problems ruining it for the player base examples being hackers running rampant and buying new accounts, like why doesn't the entire clan get banned if a player in the clan is hacking? Not only banned but dev wiped like they do for land claim, undermesh and skybase fixes too. And like maybe some base guides for land claim and setting more solid rules of what is okay and what is not okay as far as base size. But it is what it is.
I thought about touching on it but said meh. Anyone with experience knew they would continue to ruin combat. Everytime they mention it in a livestream, I know what's coming. I'm still bitter for being banned while living on land but a skybase that was reported by numerous people never got wiped and the clan never banned.
they want more players how about they listen to the community instead of just doing what they want to do...............stop catering to casual players, i dint put in 13k hours because everything was being handed to me, i liked the struggle.
Disagreeing with any of your points is portrayed as defending Funcom so Ill just enjoy that you said you wouldnt make more of these vids like a year ago and i said youd be back and here you are. Nice. Eventually you will get to where the rest of the community is with it, just keep at it brother. lol
@@Mahazioth its all just wasted energy man.. they will never change. How can you make a corporation raise their QOL and customer satisfaction who have never sought public approval more that a couple times? Its nearly impossible with FC.
I have worked in insurance for over 30 years so massive F**ck-ups from companies is not new to me!!!! (my qualification LOL ) For an individual who played console first for (2) years and NOW PC (1) year, I must say you are right. Prime example is the MODDERS coming up with a fix for the game in 24 hours when Funcom said mid January. It is truly laughable. Oblivion mod has the bartender and other game mechanics for about a year and Exiles Armory with its buy sell mechanics for longer than that (an many others). I have one question though, which MOD do you feel has the best magic mechanics, I would like to try it!?!
Playstation player with 3k hours on official PVE-Conflict servers. No mods available for Playstation players. Latest update is half baked. Funcom's resources are probably focused on Dune. Seriously frustrating for Playstation players. Conan Exiles is not the same since Funcom partnered with that other company...
its just a game ... many millions of players have also played this since day one, but most of us are aware any new game will last for a few months or 1 year and thats it. True the game was fine and had potential but constant grow brings so many new issues. Still anyway love your rants they are so silly and entertaining just keep up the good work bro, still think you should make another video with more detailed information about your feelings toward Funcom develop and support team oh and please talk more about how pvp players are getting abused and exploited by funcom
Will do and will also look into those things you mentioned. Is there anything specific going on? Or are we just talking about Funcoms lack of response to patch things their update broke until the new year rolls around?
I have 2500hrs, more than some less than others, I been playing since pre 3.0 update with the old building system. I first played conan in 2021 for maybe 10hrs then uninstalled it because it was a mess, gameranx did a "before you buy" on it go and watch it. I give the devs credit for what they done with the game overall since then, conan today is not the same game as conan 2021 and I absolutely love this game now, that said the game almost in the same state it was when I uninstalled it back then. The community? yeah let's rather talk about content creators who DO NOT say a bad word about fu(ck)ncom because they get free shit from the bazaar.
started playing on console put some 700 hours in when i upgraded my pc on 2019 i started playing it there i have around 5k hours on pc now all of the on pvp or training servers , the game is trying to keep the pve crowd to keep buying the stuff from the bazaar or the battle pass to keep the money rolling like u said m8, they even put the pve castle that is raidable now so a pve'er can experience what us savages are doing on a day by day basis, cause they are bored off their minds in their fully build laggy servers.
@@Mahazioth i mean even they are complaining that the new update is trash, i won't name names but even pve youtubers who were the 1st to jump in the defence of every new update and call each update the best there is are either toning it down or outright calling funcom out on it, like huh u don't say the update is bad u people were bootlicking so far u r part of the problem
I can't wait for Unshourded to drop next year and kill consn exiles once and for all. I have 5k hours and honestly I only play the game because "build a kingdom simulator" once I find another game that does that I'm out. I've have not liked a single update since 2.7. Game is buggy lazy poop now.
@@Mahazioth exactly. They missed a great opportunity to really make sorcery something awesome. I would have rather had more combat use than the bat for raiding. Although the bat is useful for those pesky sky bases. We raid them all the time
@@steezwts9093 While I do agree the staff itself should be a weapon (melee, it has a blade underneath), I think they went on the right direction with the spells. Sorcery isn't big in the Conan Lore. It was mostly rituals, summoning and necromancy and was never shown to be used for combat. So despite being a lackluster system compared to other games, at least they have an excuse where it does fit the lore of the story. Unfortunately, for utility, the spells are also niche, with the Wisps, Invisibility Self, and Call of Nergal being the only spells worth casting, and Call of Nergal does more harm than good to the game as it renders so many things obsolete.
@@Mahazioth Yeah! The package had a more "complete" aspect, and allways fells for me a worth purchase... ...a pretty hood deal if you ask me. In the Conan universe, even make sence and allways have a good stetics. But this "Battle Pass" is just looks like mobile crap to me.
And every new pass is worse than the last. Yet bazaar prices keep going on for all that placeable nonsense. Sure some of it looks neat but the prices are INSANE.
@12,926 hours I have to say the patches have been heading in a very negative direction. From the battle pass being both a rip off and an affront to private servers and modders alike. BUT I hae sucked up alot of BS from funcom in tht time. This patch .. felt and tasted like plain and simple fruad. They sold us a patch that broke the product we already paid for. and then .. have the unmitigated gaul to say and merry christmas we aint fixing shit til middle of jaunary, fuck your new year! Ya know.. in the land where mastercard, visa, amex and pay pal are corporately headquartered and therefore control their flow of income.. to sell a product that you market as working and function to then sell it knowing it dont work.. that it will break the game.. is the defniition of fruad by deceit. How are they not under grand jury investigations if not indictments? thats my question.
You are right the updates they present are so mediocre and shallow. It's laughable it took them months to come up with these so called "chapters". I was initially excited for the barkeep but as soon as I unlocked it, I found out how "basic" it was and useless to be honest. I want to love the game because of it's potential but it seems to me the devs don't have the players best interest at heart. The disconnect between players and devs grows with every "chapter" they release. Don't get me started on their laziness to fix their broken update and ruining every players Christmas break. hahahahaha
They always hype these updates and make them sound lavish. You then get to try it out and it's like oh. That's it. Took months for that? Okay. They spend more time making items for the battle pass. In the latest pass you can now get actual placeable rubble. Good stuff.
The only reason why , the veterans from day one are still playing this game is because you have mods. If there was no mods half of you wouldn’t even be covering this game. I’ve played for a couple of years and this game has always been easy😂 Just face it , this game is just a building simulator, with ZERO survival of any kind (Apart from the cheats of course).
allmost 5k hours in conan, and game is getting worse and worse, i can not adapt to new combat changes, worst update ever, cheaters and bugs multiplay to unbearable, i gues it is time to stop playing
![[UNCUT] The Loyal Pin ปิ่นภักดิ์ EP.7 (1/4)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2rPGOyKs0VE/mqdefault.jpg)
It’s been over 5 years should be having absolutely amazing updates by now
At least there’s still a select few who see the potential in the game but know the game is getting worse and worse. Also I put close to 10k hours into pvp but stopped a few updates ago and I can say you nailed it with this assessment
Right on the money
Always a little hope in my heart for Conan Exiles, though it be dwindling.
I was very happy with the sorcery. It was very in line with the lore and didn’t change the game at a fundamental level. I was really worried that there would be Skyrim type of fireball-spells.

I love the bat for finding sky bases. I should not need a bat to find sky bases if they were competent devs.
This is the go to channel for depressing conan content. U want people to keep playing, id stick to tips and tricks. U want negativity, u got it. U really bring the community together😒
We cannot deny this game has improved over the years, but I think the problem is how long it took to get to how it is today , I personally think they arent involved at all with the community, since most peoples reactions to updates are confusion or disappointment, rarely have funcom made a update that was good or wanted , and if a update was good there was still some game breaking bug that arrived with it so it killed the excitement on release .
I still to this day think that funcom do not know what game they are trying to make , its supposed to be a MMO RPG , but with every update it feels more like a SP game with a pinch of multiplayer.
Overall I stopped playing this game a few months ago , and I've never felt better , no more stress over incompetent devs or game breaking updates 😂
They lost sight of their vision board.
every new content in chapter 3 is bugged. some of the modders fixed all of them. Lazy greedy developers
A lot of these issues would not exist if proper testing was in play... But what do we know.
The update was free
I agree that the updates are lackluster. Especially since Tencent bought them... I think right now since they are focused on Dune most of their staff is working on that... I'm pretty sure they are thinking that they are going to make a lot of money with it... I don't necessarily think the hype is there, but who knows I could be wrong.
I can't wait to experience Dune... Can't wait...
Started playing the game a year ago now. I have been having a lot of fun in pvp but i see the point you are making. A lot of the updates and changes just don't make much sense
Yeah I stop supporting funcon but love to support TH-cam Contant creators that still make contact about Conan and I am not surprised on how things are going with the game I mean chapter 3 came out and they couldn’t even get the third mount to work correctly and told people see you mid January we’re on holiday break seriously that’s why I’m done good to see you are still doing videos and hanging in there hope he gets better
Appreciate the support!
I still remember when the devs said features couldn't be added to the game, and people pointed to mods that did what they said was impossible to do. That cracks me up to this day.
Now the bugs and crashing that comes with new updates just shows that the updates can't have been tested properly before implemented. Now some coding can create problems with other code lines when updated, but it shouldn't completely break features or make the game unplayable. In theory you should have people working on the bugs that have a general understanding of how the features was implemented, or at the very least that it's documented properly. The update should not become a crime scene where a wood chipper was involved in gore for the game itself, and you need to bring in a Viscera Cleanup Detail team after every update. There has to be a better way to handle it than that.

How is pulling out a staff and going through a menu true to it's form?
Lol well said. Why do I get so much out of listening to you trash these developers? Keep em coming.
We opened a server on Age of Sorcery, it's EU, but if u wanna come fight there's lots of action!
And actual stamina management! 😂
I have had the itch to play but my conscious reminds me it's a bad idea.
Let's go bro get your clan on blacks server.
U really should come bro, there' everything u enjoyed, strong pvp players, "no age of war shi***, farm is x10 and we give stater kits to clans that start late.
And the pvp events I organize are next lvl!
I'm working on the video atm but u'll ee it's fun and creative!
Give it a try!@@Mahazioth
Yeah would be fun! @@darrenetherington4480
Sounds nice. If I can pry a few away from other games and get them on Conan, may just give it a shot.
My expectations are being met with other games. Packed conan away a long time ago lol

I love when they say they have backend access and do updates for server performance. Update drops, performance gets ten times worse. Amazing.
Im down to start a conan podcast with you. I got 4k of funcom bug experience and I have alot to rant about :D

One answer. Tencent.
The studio makes more money off of PvE player's. IMO that explains why the developers create the updates that they do.
Have almost 10k hours gameplay and have been on since it first launched pre-1.0 as sandbox - gods, that was a messy batch of fun :).
Stuck with private and modded community since realising that most official servers were just meaningless (for my gameplay interests)
PIPPI's Joshtech is a God! Funcom never paid for his stuff so have not incorperated. Without PIPPI, the game is silly.
Listening to rants and nonsense re the offical servers is tedious for me. The game is hugely complicated and, in my opinion, should never have bothered offering non-PC gameplay as I don't think that the game is/was/will be suited to all platforms. Joel moved from Conan to Dune a long while back and Dennis is a good fit for driving new content in - but with all the various platforms? Yikes!
I have private servers that have had consistent players from the moment of creation. Many Admin mates have also had same since having private servers was a thing.
I am looking forward toteh fixes and the next Chapter's content. I think it will be a lot of fun. My core players still have fun in the game all these years on. The 'rage-quitters'? Meh. Besides, there are other great games out there that also need players.
thanks for a video today g, hope u have a great day homie.
You too!
Every player who's been around for at least a couple of years in Conan knows that this video is 110% true.
The sad thing is Funcom's focused on short-term money-grabbing at the expense of those who've been along for the ride for years. That's a surefire way to lose your game/business/wtv in record time.
Imagine... actively going against what your loyal customer base ASKS for and expecting not to go under. Clowns. At the end of the day we'll move on to some other game whilst they'll be looking for another job.
At one point we saw the game going in a decent direction but, like you said, they dropped that and went to the money grabbing.
Yeaaa… sorcery is not really useful besides a few things, but at least that chapter did not destroy core mechanics. Age of war ruined so much stuff, all i do is building now. And before i do that i play other games. Age of war was like “we want the player to be the hero” and one update later “we nerfed stamina” cant even swing full combos by default anymore.
And “we reduced the aggro range of thralls in camps but make them
Hit harder so players can focus on the fight” and then rework purge where you get stunned non stop by like 50 thralls at same time…
Tavern stuff is optically a cool thing, but it lags the hell outta bases and the good thralls are very rare, so just ended up removing the tavern again. But i think and hope the false ban issue woke up a lot people. 🙈
Ever since they listen to the "please nerf the thralks" jackasses the game went down hill.
I told them thr guys dying to thralls don't belong in pvp anyways, they clearly suck if a buggy AI poorly coded thrall can kill them.
When bosses had lots of hp thr game was like dark souks, you use to have to prepare to fight a boss
Yep same with the specialized thrall hunt you had to do to get geared up well… removing that made thrall hunting useless n boring for me. They were a good reason to raid someone. But no too difficult 🙄
Glad you mentioned the false bans as I forgot to touch on that but yes, I agree that woke a lot of people up. H
So I have been playing for more than 4k hours, A lot of your points are viable, but you do way too much rent, and it takes away from your points; things like: "You can't be mad or happy cause you haven't played enough", "casual players aren't the one who play much" no my dude, that's just salt, I'm 100% a casual player and I still come to this game every month. But still, there are plenty of good points. first, There are plenty of things I like about Conan, i enjoy the game, but it is very true that these updates have basically added barely anything and have simply been focused on putting out bazaar items, it's really where all their time goes; making money. As a role-player, I do enjoy these new assets, and I do buy them, but the content they are putting out is just so badly done and not well thought out: The magic system is so bare-boned, the Stygian raid is made exceedingly inefficiently, and laggy, the purges are barely worth it and the pathing is awful, and the tavern stuff barely has any utility. Look I love the tavern idea, it's not something mods have done, and trust me I've played a lot of mods, but to only put that out after months?! Not even fix their nonsense and then put out more shit to buy as if that's supposed to be the content. No, that's fucking awful.
Surprised you didint talk about the changes to the pvp specifically with the q lock and how you can't turn your character while attacking anymore, but yeah us OG conan players just expect disappointment now and it does break my heart. It really does have the potential to be the best survival and no other game is anything like it. But they need to care about the pvp more specifically official servers and try and address the problems ruining it for the player base examples being hackers running rampant and buying new accounts, like why doesn't the entire clan get banned if a player in the clan is hacking? Not only banned but dev wiped like they do for land claim, undermesh and skybase fixes too. And like maybe some base guides for land claim and setting more solid rules of what is okay and what is not okay as far as base size. But it is what it is.
I thought about touching on it but said meh. Anyone with experience knew they would continue to ruin combat. Everytime they mention it in a livestream, I know what's coming.
I'm still bitter for being banned while living on land but a skybase that was reported by numerous people never got wiped and the clan never banned.
they want more players how about they listen to the community instead of just doing what they want to do...............stop catering to casual players, i dint put in 13k hours because everything was being handed to me, i liked the struggle.
The sense of accomplishment is why so many people sink hours into a game. Funcom just wants everyone to have a participation trophy.
Disagreeing with any of your points is portrayed as defending Funcom so Ill just enjoy that you said you wouldnt make more of these vids like a year ago and i said youd be back and here you are. Nice. Eventually you will get to where the rest of the community is with it, just keep at it brother. lol
I said I was done making the "WTF Funcom" Videos.
@@Mahazioth its all just wasted energy man.. they will never change. How can you make a corporation raise their QOL and customer satisfaction who have never sought public approval more that a couple times? Its nearly impossible with FC.
I have worked in insurance for over 30 years so massive F**ck-ups from companies is not new to me!!!! (my qualification LOL ) For an individual who played console first for (2) years and NOW PC (1) year, I must say you are right. Prime example is the MODDERS coming up with a fix for the game in 24 hours when Funcom said mid January. It is truly laughable. Oblivion mod has the bartender and other game mechanics for about a year and Exiles Armory with its buy sell mechanics for longer than that (an many others). I have one question though, which MOD do you feel has the best magic mechanics, I would like to try it!?!
I could be mistaken but I want to say the magic was built into the AOC mod I tried with my wife. I could be wrong.
Playstation player with 3k hours on official PVE-Conflict servers. No mods available for Playstation players. Latest update is half baked. Funcom's resources are probably focused on Dune. Seriously frustrating for Playstation players. Conan Exiles is not the same since Funcom partnered with that other company...
its just a game ... many millions of players have also played this since day one, but most of us are aware any new game will last for a few months or 1 year and thats it. True the game was fine and had potential but constant grow brings so many new issues. Still anyway love your rants they are so silly and entertaining just keep up the good work bro, still think you should make another video with more detailed information about your feelings toward Funcom develop and support team oh and please talk more about how pvp players are getting abused and exploited by funcom
Will do and will also look into those things you mentioned. Is there anything specific going on? Or are we just talking about Funcoms lack of response to patch things their update broke until the new year rolls around?
I have 2500hrs, more than some less than others, I been playing since pre 3.0 update with the old building system. I first played conan in 2021 for maybe 10hrs then uninstalled it because it was a mess, gameranx did a "before you buy" on it go and watch it. I give the devs credit for what they done with the game overall since then, conan today is not the same game as conan 2021 and I absolutely love this game now, that said the game almost in the same state it was when I uninstalled it back then. The community? yeah let's rather talk about content creators who DO NOT say a bad word about fu(ck)ncom because they get free shit from the bazaar.
And free plugs for their content in Funcom released videos/events!
started playing on console put some 700 hours in when i upgraded my pc on 2019 i started playing it there i have around 5k hours on pc now all of the on pvp or training servers , the game is trying to keep the pve crowd to keep buying the stuff from the bazaar or the battle pass to keep the money rolling like u said m8, they even put the pve castle that is raidable now so a pve'er can experience what us savages are doing on a day by day basis, cause they are bored off their minds in their fully build laggy servers.
I would love to be an admin on a pve server watching them raid this rp castle. That would be some good content.
@@Mahazioth i mean even they are complaining that the new update is trash, i won't name names but even pve youtubers who were the 1st to jump in the defence of every new update and call each update the best there is are either toning it down or outright calling funcom out on it, like huh u don't say the update is bad
u people were bootlicking so far u r part of the problem
I can't wait for Unshourded to drop next year and kill consn exiles once and for all. I have 5k hours and honestly I only play the game because "build a kingdom simulator" once I find another game that does that I'm out. I've have not liked a single update since 2.7. Game is buggy lazy poop now.
It's sad to say but it's the same for me as well.
The magic staff should of been an actual staff with light and heavy attacks and the special attack should bring up the spells.
Like Gandalf, he could smack a fool up.
@@Mahazioth exactly. They missed a great opportunity to really make sorcery something awesome. I would have rather had more combat use than the bat for raiding. Although the bat is useful for those pesky sky bases. We raid them all the time
That's a great idea. It would make magic *slightly* more forgiving in combat
@@steezwts9093 While I do agree the staff itself should be a weapon (melee, it has a blade underneath), I think they went on the right direction with the spells. Sorcery isn't big in the Conan Lore. It was mostly rituals, summoning and necromancy and was never shown to be used for combat. So despite being a lackluster system compared to other games, at least they have an excuse where it does fit the lore of the story. Unfortunately, for utility, the spells are also niche, with the Wisps, Invisibility Self, and Call of Nergal being the only spells worth casting, and Call of Nergal does more harm than good to the game as it renders so many things obsolete.
The combat is fucked atm
All this "Age" stuff...
...is just smoke-and-mirrors.
To grab money and cover fails.
Old DLC format was better.
Loved the old DLC packages. Had no issue handing money over for them.
@@Mahazioth Yeah!
The package had a more "complete" aspect, and allways fells for me a worth purchase...
...a pretty hood deal if you ask me.
In the Conan universe, even make sence and allways have a good stetics.
But this "Battle Pass" is just looks like mobile crap to me.
And every new pass is worse than the last. Yet bazaar prices keep going on for all that placeable nonsense. Sure some of it looks neat but the prices are INSANE.
@12,926 hours I have to say the patches have been heading in a very negative direction. From the battle pass being both a rip off and an affront to private servers and modders alike. BUT I hae sucked up alot of BS from funcom in tht time. This patch .. felt and tasted like plain and simple fruad. They sold us a patch that broke the product we already paid for. and then .. have the unmitigated gaul to say and merry christmas we aint fixing shit til middle of jaunary, fuck your new year! Ya know.. in the land where mastercard, visa, amex and pay pal are corporately headquartered and therefore control their flow of income.. to sell a product that you market as working and function to then sell it knowing it dont work.. that it will break the game.. is the defniition of fruad by deceit. How are they not under grand jury investigations if not indictments? thats my question.
This has been one of my ongoing concerns for ages now. It's just bad business and in the long run I believe it will hurt them more.
You are right the updates they present are so mediocre and shallow. It's laughable it took them months to come up with these so called "chapters". I was initially excited for the barkeep but as soon as I unlocked it, I found out how "basic" it was and useless to be honest. I want to love the game because of it's potential but it seems to me the devs don't have the players best interest at heart. The disconnect between players and devs grows with every "chapter" they release. Don't get me started on their laziness to fix their broken update and ruining every players Christmas break. hahahahaha
They always hype these updates and make them sound lavish. You then get to try it out and it's like oh. That's it. Took months for that? Okay. They spend more time making items for the battle pass. In the latest pass you can now get actual placeable rubble. Good stuff.
@@Mahazioth I couldn't agree more.
As if that’s my base in volcano hahahaha ffs
That base was fine until they brang bats in. I was probably only found twice in 3 years
I do like my bats for scouting haha
The only reason why , the veterans from day one are still playing this game is because you have mods. If there was no mods half of you wouldn’t even be covering this game.
I’ve played for a couple of years and this game has always been easy😂
Just face it , this game is just a building simulator, with ZERO survival of any kind (Apart from the cheats of course).
I would never want to say this in a video but maybe I should but, dealing with cheaters made the game feel more like a survival game. So I agree.
Developer made content sucks ass....mods are the only reason I still play.
allmost 5k hours in conan, and game is getting worse and worse, i can not adapt to new combat changes, worst update ever, cheaters and bugs multiplay to unbearable, i gues it is time to stop playing
Top 10 worst changes ever video when? pls :)
I have no idea where to even begin with that one.
