Title: Conan Exiles
Post by: Asheram on January 29, 2016, 04:42:26 am
Open world survival game, could be interesting. They already have assets from AOC they can use in this right?

recognise the animations from aoc

not saying the game couldn't turn out great. but its definitely another cash in on the unfinished survival game genre.

Honestly Age of Conan had great combat system for it's time. I think Conan Exiles can be good if they focus on combat as much as they focus on survival aspects, so that it isn't some clunky shit like in a lot of current survival games.

Looks like it will probably be fun at least, I don't buy into many of the survival genre because of the whole "half assed unfinished" stuff, but even those that I have bought into that you couldn't class as "finished" have given me plenty of hours of play for the price they cost me.

Since the game is close to launch (In march I believe), has anyone tried it recently? Would like some opinions on if it's a good game to start with friends.

The new combat certainly looks better.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on February 20, 2018, 06:54:39 pm
I played it about 3 months ago I think until they wiped the server. I'd say it's pretty decent if you don't mind the bugs. If they manage to get rid of the bigger issues by release and with the new combat, it'll be worth it. It releases May 8th tho, not march. I'd honestly wait until release and try it then. It has a decent amount of content and the world is pretty big. New combat looks good, this was one of my bigger gripes with the game.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on February 20, 2018, 06:59:15 pm
Oh, for sure! We will wait until it launches.

I'm asking because if we do, I'll buy it before the price rises ;)
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on March 19, 2018, 07:54:34 am
If anyone is still interested in giving it a try on launch day (May 8th), the price of key shops keeps rising everyday.

I waited too long hoping it would go down. Its raising around 0.15-0.50 euro a day and I doubt it will go down to 15 euro again.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on March 19, 2018, 09:07:34 am
In that case if you're patient enough, I'd just wait for the first sale after release.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on March 19, 2018, 09:19:43 am
Nah I ended up buying it before it reached the 20 euro mark or higher (Steam 30 euro).

You get some bonus stuff if you purchase the game before it launches.

Hope they change or at the very least let us change the target lock graphic.

I'd like something akin to dark souls instead of a crosshair on the enemy's chest.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on April 14, 2018, 02:01:46 pm
I'm honestly excited for this and can't wait for the game to launch.

Funcom have a youtube channel. They post every couple of weeks an update of the game.

Today I saw their latest update which showcased the swamp and the new god.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on April 19, 2018, 08:46:41 am
The new combat and some of the newer features (Like the Purge) can be tested now as the game got patched yesterday.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on April 19, 2018, 08:56:26 am
Yeah, saw the update to the main game. Can't test the new zones yet sadly. People are saying that the new combat feels kinda like Dark Souls. Gonna test the new combat and features myself soon.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on April 19, 2018, 09:07:33 am
They said they wanted at least something to feel unexplored until launch day, so no new area until may 8th.

Yeah the combat does look like dark souls (Obviously not identical), it's the target lock crosshair what I'm not fond off.

PS: that's a server setting as well, admins can force target lock off, so if you really dislike it you can find a server with that off

Yeah it's good leaving something unexplored for the launch. I don't plan to really play much until release, only to test the combat and some new features for a bit. There was so much added and improved since the last time I played (about nov 2017) - so gonna leave discovering everything new for the proper release.

Gave the new combat a small test last week, it's definitely better but the animations are a little wonky.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on April 27, 2018, 11:57:15 am
I like it, it's much better than left click spam fest before. There's a fuckton of new armors too, I love how skills/perks and progression works now. Monsters/animals don't do no-animation attacks anymore, now you can actually read when they will attack. There's some improvements to be had, but it's much much better than it was around November last year.

I've been practicing on an official Fast PvP server with x2 rates for everything and it has been a blast. I feel x2 rates is the best balance personally. x5 or x10 is too fast, x1 is a bit of a drag to get anything done.
Still know nothing really about late game, but can't wait for release day.

(click to show/hide)
(click to show/hide)

I've come a long way since these screenshots were taken. Currently in basic medium armour and about to get steel tools. It's actually really fun just exploring, I'm reading as few guides/using wiki only when desperate so I don't spoil this awesome experience. In particular it doesn't suffer from ARK syndrome; "Alpha T-Rex randomly runs out of the jungle and wrecks everything you spent 4 hours building, killing you 20+ times as you desperately run back to loot your corpse before it de-spawns."

I'd be up for clanning up and playing together on release day if anyone is interested?
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vibe on May 04, 2018, 01:20:16 pm
2x I found the best as well, not too grindy but not too hectic either.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on May 04, 2018, 11:54:44 pm
Even with a group of friends?
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Peasant_Woman on May 05, 2018, 03:33:43 am
With a group your perspective is probably much different. we could apportion tasks like; "You gather ironstone, you search for the rarer thralls (taskmaster, cook etc.), you get hide and stone."
For solo play though, x2 felt just right.

A friend has said he'll play on launch day with me, we need to decide on a server type and rates. The developers have said somewhere in a blog post that there won't be any official increased rate servers at launch, so we may have to go with x1 anyway, unless we play on unofficial servers.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Vexus on May 05, 2018, 08:49:55 am
We're still undecided on the server ourselves. I was leaning more towards the PVE Conflict as I'm not that fond of PVP all the time.

Yeah I only played solo so far, I'll be playing in a small group (about 2-4 players) with release but I think 2x is still nice for that.

Also, didn't know they're removing Fast servers, was hoping to play on an official 2x.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Leesin on May 05, 2018, 05:50:31 pm
Even with a large group I preferred playing 2x or higher server, it's not just the resource gathering increase but the leveling increase itself, which actually opens up options to advance regardless of resource. The "Journey" steps will take some of the sting out of the 1x pace server as they are great for leveling, but that is also a fairly railroaded method or idea, for what is supposed to be a sandbox. Groups suffer less on the resource grind obviously, but having more members doesn't mean you are going to level faster and unlock more crafting options for the actual progress, it just means you are going to be able to craft that shit quicker when you do unlock it, compared to a solo or duo.

Guess we'll see how it plays out, but from my experience with the game, 1x is slow on all accounts.
Title: Re: Conan Exiles
Post by: Peasant_Woman on May 10, 2018, 02:53:22 pm
So what is your opinion on the loss of the PvE-Conflict servers?

Personally it doesn't effect me since a friend and I decided to roll on a PvE server just to check out the PvE content (Dungeons etc.)
I was leaning on rolling on PvE-Conflict though, glad I didn't.

They changed the pve-conflict servers into pvp servers because they were high in demand....

So many people are raging in their forum. I would too considering we were going to start the game tomorrow on such server. What a stupid decision to change the hybrid servers into pvp servers instead of getting more servers. Their reasoning was that they checked and found that pvp servers where full all the time while pve-conflict servers where half full. Those servers are perfect for people that can't play for long hours, I really hope they add them back else you have to join a community server.

Honestly, in these types of games you are better off finding a decent community server with active Admins anyway, that way if anyone is cheating on the server there might be an admin around to ban them instantly before they can destroy the server.

Combat is "soulslike", as in there's light attacks and heavy attacks which can be combo-ed together. Weapon types have different animations even for blocking (2h weapons have a kick), and armor type affects dodge animation.

Like in all(?) survival games, death penalty is going back to loot your body.

It's kinda like Dark Souls, a budget version of it I'd say. Consequences of dying are you lose everything you had on you at the time.
