Agreed. Critical thinking is something I was even taught in school. Think for yourself, question things, explore, research, debate etc. Just easier on ones mind to say they are a hater I guess.
because the game is addictive, hard to quit and hard not to come back to, especially when u had people u played with and had fun with. the game's not working and he doesnt quit cuz he wants to see it get better
What @cyosth8965 said and also the fact I am very good at finding ways to amuse myself in a video game. When the bomb dupe was tearing the server apart it became a game within a game of survival for me and my clan. Survive at all cost and give them nothing. Little things like that amuse me. Of course I would much rather a polished game but even this turd can be molded into something.
Conan is like watching your best friend become a crack addict. You love them. You have all these great memories with them. But in the end you can't save them. Only they can. And at some point you just have to decide if you can live with what they are or if you just have to let it go.
But at least a few youtubers like you can give me a bit of the fix without me getting mad at all the stupid shit. When it happens to others I can just laugh at it instead 🤣
I'm glad I only play single player since I work until midnight usually. I don't exploit anything except have building costs at 50%. Even spent around 20 bucks on the bazaar so it'd maybe help keep the game updating a little longer.
Man, I did that for about 2 years. Did Exiles with a couple of characters, then did Siptah several times too, all offline. To better enjoy the game I switched to mods. That greatly improved the game for some time, but in the end I was bored again. I started PVE on a Siptah server and had a remarkable welcoming. People offered me help, tools to start, even a Berserker! I have been playing online for a year and it has been a nice experience that i would recommend you try when you are able. Of course there are lots of issues, such as disconnects, etc... but to ihnteract with other players make the game more dinamic.
Have played the game since early access and love the game. But like you would much prefer they fix things before giving us new exciting content. I have made so many good friends in this game. But have also seen many of them uninstall the game and refuse to play it in its broken state.
So, first off, great video. Earned a like, and a sub. But, anyways, I’ve got about 4,000 hours in Conan PvP. I’ve done everything in this game a million times over, and met tons of cool people. Played both console, and PC versions and haven’t touched this game in nearly 2 years. This game was BY FAR my most favorite survival, and it’s unfortunate Funcom dropped the ball so hard since day one. This game is so unique it could have competed against Rust as one of the top survival games. Ceronesthes, another UA-camr, released a video that stuck out to me uncovering Funcom’s history as a company as they released other games. Always releasing a PvP titled game, slowly killing the game making it PvE/RP oriented and prioritizing profit over fixing/balancing the game. Truly disappointing. I tried to look for the video, but that UA-camr must’ve taken it down for some reason. But, it covered ALOT of stuff and was nearly an hour long. They need a legacy version for PvPer’s, back when you could animation cancel, mix/match armors heavy/medium/light and such. It was always fun to try and customize builds. Idk, they could have done SO much with this game. So many issues I could mention, but I’ve gone on long enough.
congrats, you're the first person on youtube to show the jungle spot at 1:14. Been in the game forever, used it as a hideyhole away from hackers many times.
From a player that has over 10k hours, this video and your thoughts are just the reality and i agreed to 200% to what you said, and i enjoy your video and your sincerity, and people should understand that this is in talking true word that wr can hope that one day thing will be better. because the three monkeys of i see nothing, i hear nothing, i tell nothing is not really a good way to improve things.
you won't be able in the new update : "Prying Kit now correctly removes effect from Blunted and Balanced Weapon Fittings." but the already made truncheons may still be in the game after
@@cyosth apply and remove advanced blunted weapon fitting 8000x times? Bro, Arena Champ health is getting nerfed in Age of War plus Cimmerian Berserker damage multiplayer is literally doubling. I don't think I'm going to gut myself 8000x plus I dunno how many times when attempting to knock out Arena Champ as she will kill my thalls asap.
Fucking finally someone makes a video like this. those noobs in the comments who say nothing is wrong with conan are role players.. all they have to worry about is staying in character. Also i am such an idiot... i have been shift L-Clicking back into my inventory when dupping mats... thanks for the tip
The rant videos are my favorite. It's so funny to me to hear the reality of a pvper. Even in pvec there is countless exploits and bugs such as being able to kill other players thrall and destroying their base. To me it's hilarious and sad at the same time. It sure create lots of laughs and discussion xD.
Apart to totally agree with your video and i don't consider the truth is ranting, you get another essential point. Software house are become lazy over time, because: A) the time for Dev's into test the game are considered waste time, and this is more than absurd, and honest only happens on the game softwares. B) Why spend time to test a game, if you can have players do the test milestone for you, for free, and then report the bugs? In case of Conan, we have seen Mods hundred of times fixing the bugs of the updates. So the point is: is this right? No, in my opinion. Consider, I'm a Dev, i don't work on game industry, but I'm a senior Dev, and if i start to release in production environment products with bugs, my a$$ will be kicked out the door of the company ASAP, and rightly, i will add. In games, this don't happens. Dev's are authorized to release the worst crap, no one blame them, no one punish them, but, the thing called reputation and trust on the company go down and down, and when down, it's hard if not impossible to raise again. For Funcom, consider the fact they're explicit not so high valuable person's as integrity and values, for absurd the work done by some Modders into fix the issue leads to more lazyness. And i don't criticize Modders at all, they do great work, and for free and passion. There's another point i was wondering about: the Ages. I mean, how many Ages we can have on Conan? For their own concept, ages are shorter, and this lead to have to create new ages on year basis. So, again, consider the fact i got zero faith in FC, I'm start to think we will have Ages just for the time they need to crab cash to develop Dune for free. Then, we will have probably one huge DLC for any age, overpriced and to piss the person's who have buyed all that crap for FOMO. After this... Mhh, we will see. What do you think about? I HOPE it's just a personal consideration, but still, lose the trust, you can think the worst.
I have been playing online PC games since the 1990s. I was also in tech for many years. I have seen this laziness on development for software (not just games) for the last 20+ years. It has gotten a lot worse in the last 10 years. We used to have a saying back in the day that the last 20% of any development takes 80% of the time.
People who play Conan Exiles, Exile Lands or Siptah, know to well about all the bugs and glitches. Even now on Siptah we still have bugs present that where introduced with the Sorcery Update. I'm looking forward to Age Of War , but I'm not looking forward to the bugs this Update will undoubtedly add. Lag is a big issue on Console Servers, basically because we do not get as much memory as the PC servers, yet Funcom keep adding bigger and bigger benches and now they adding a loot room which I guess will also be substantial in size, thus adding to the lag issues on Console Servers. (I play Conan Exiles on an XboxSX). Great video
The game from day one has had issues with cheaters exploits mesh's etc. You use to be able to have all max stats strength agil etc, you could walk in water at the bottom like it was land and not losing air people had bases under water at that time. Put about 3000 hours in the game and honestly was just done with the game even before sorcery came out that they promised at release.. everything was grindy and half the time I would have to spend hours looking in mesh's to actually wipe someone. I heard it's not as grindy resource wise which is good to hear but it's not worth dealing with the goofy stuff after that kind of time investment. Then how broken transferring accounts became, then how broken they were on the servers they were stuck on after disabling it with the sep gear.. balancing has never been in the game properly in the 4-5 years I played it. I even dealt with dudes either doing a infinite stamina glitch or cheats. They could not only run faster than anyone else but they would be fucking rolling passed you not just running to get in front of you. Ridiculous
Seems like some people forgot all about these issues and how long it took them to address "some" of them. I still fall to the bottom of bodies of water sometimes, died to drowning cause I could not climb.
It was and still is a pretty small dev team and may be smaller due to Funcom working on Dune idk. But they say they are hiring new people so have a little hope and i mean a little hope no new expansions of the EL map or anything major just maybe bug fixes and corrections but anything like pvp is probably gonna remain the same.
Thank you so much for speaking your mind. I could not agree more with most of your comments. I have been playing on official NA server since early release and have over 5300 hours and simply put, you hit it on the nail. I don't believe it's a rant, it's an observation on a game that is no longer considered new or in early access so we have the right to expect more as a customer, as a consumer of a product that by now should be polished and ready to play an enjoy. Oh your comment about the disconnection is golden. I go through it every time I play on official at this moment is just expected to be logged off when fighting in the volcano or anywhere else on the exiled lands. Thank you so much, you are golden.❤🎉
Appreciate the kind words and it does me well to read them. I think some people assume by these types of videos I hate the game, but it's my love for the game that drives me to make these. I guess I could sugar coat everything and pretend it's all rainbows and sunshine but that's not the reality. I still hope one day the devs strive for more, idk if it will ever happen for Conan but maybe Dune? Future Conan games? We should all have basic standards when we purchase a product, that's not insanity or entitlement.
One thing i always find fascinating and not just with CE but it seems with any online game really, is how fast a bug that benefits players EX: the Magi Skull bug, gets patched (it was like 2 weeks i think) but other bugs that seem simple enough to fix like the twitch drop Rocknose statue will probably take like 6 months to a year. Its like the programmers only go hardcore when its fun police time but if its something we complain about, then suffer peasant.
They fixed it faster than they fixed the bomb duping exploit, you know the one you could literally use fiber to craft infinite bombs... Yeah... Take their time on that one but the magi skulls? MUST BE FIXED ASAP!
You got a good point. Look how quick the arena champion glitch got patched but the rhino bug? Man these devices can go suck their mothers holes dry. F**k them.
I am glad you do this. Shining a light on the issues is important. I am a poor pvp’er but the main reason I don’t pvp is because of all of the exploits used by the win at all costs” players. It’s one thing getting wiped in fair combat by a better player, but it’s quite another when they are just using an exploit that you don’t know about. I am concerned though that funcom will even bother doing anything at all until they feel it in their pocket. They mentioned on their age of war stream that they have never had as many people playing and spending as much time in the game, they will simply relate those metrics to profits to keep the shareholders happy and take it as confirmation they are doing a great job. Quality be damned. Keep doing what you are doing because if enough of us draw attention to the issues they may wake up and relate a player numbers and retention metric to quality too.
Funcom seems to forget that even people on pvp servers still do the pve. If they actually addressed serious issues they could have even higher statistics to share with shareholders. It's just smart business. But what do I know, I just play the game.
To be fair they act just like any other Swedish developer. Consider Dice or Fatshark. Its the same mentality. It will never change because I think they believe that the world should conform to their needs and requirements - not the other way around. Each of these developers have longstanding issues with the core mechanics of their titles and it often plays out the same with said developers ignoring loud player feedback for at least a year (or in Conans case at least 3) and taking their sweet time to improve the games interspersed with lots and lots of holidays along with as much pay gated content as they can get away with. I left Conan after they closed up all the world holes I used to love discovering and building in and pre climb mechanics. I did come back once years later to see if they had improved and ran into the dry water well bug YEARS after they said it had been fixed. A waste of time and money.
I could say quite a few things about Dice and Fatshark lol, but you're right. The time we are in for gaming has truly just become a cash grab for a lot of teams. The sense of pride in creating a well polished playable game is long dead (in a lot of cases anyway not all).
5K hours in and honestly they should have just left conan exiles at 2.8 and go make their ''conan 2'' or whatever. 3.0 was rubbish, sorcery update was lazy and trash. the few good they good is outweighed by the bugs and the bad they bring. They cant truly fix the game because its too far gone with the spaghetti coding, they should just go make a new one and start from the ground up.
I just wish they'd focus on the game integrity itself, the bugs, exploits, etc. First. And then once theyve done that then they can bring in this ages thing and content. I'd like to see NPC AI upgrades, bug fixes such as climbing over a foundation and getting knocked off, legendary loot chest despawning or not opening (even with key at level 60) and overall just fix the foundation of the game first before building on more stuff.
Btw, there's also the fact that almost everything has lost quality because people in general have lower standards than they used to. We see the results of that here with Funcom.
Yes, yes, and YES. If you look at just the history of gaming, standards have been set real low this day an age. "Ah release it in beta, we can fix issues as they pop up. Eh we made 20 million let's pull the plug." I had no problem when Funcom did dlc packs, you got some building, armor, trinkets etc. When they announced the bazaar it was clear where their heart lies.
It's so much fun to see how that game is bugged, as i don't play PVP i was not really aware of this. I have noticed many of theses bugs but well in a PVP perspective it must be a nighmare!! As i have played Fallout 76 when it was just out in beta i can say that i'm kind of vaccinated against bugs!! I have also played Cyberpunk at it's release so i can say that bugs are a part of me now, i don't know if i could live without bugs!! So i have to thank Funcom for that daily dose of bugs, now i see a bug free game as utterly boring! 😁 But what baffles me it's when Funcom changes something, they don't know what balance is and since a few update i clearly see where they are going. Conan was a quite hard survival game and if they want to sell it to a large number of players they thought that they have to make it easy. So we got the Kithan who sell the high end stuff for peanuts, then we had the journey steps for babies and now in age of war we have a major nerf of ennemies, there willbe soon no challenge anymore so any idiot can play the game, have fun as a casual sunday player and buy the wonderfull stuff in the shop, that's so cool man !!!
Question for you. Because I have a theory after thousands and thousands of hours on multiple platforms. Assuming that there was no cheaters/exploiters, do you think more would play pvp if raiding was harder.... like a LOT harder. I quit playing pvp, not because I got wiped, but because I am tired of raiding. It's too easy. And it's ridiculous that somebody like me can wipe a clan solo within minutes when it took them weeks or even months to build.
I had a good base that was hard to raid before sorcery, wasnt the flying bat letting people drop in my base that killed it, but because of the bomb dupe that they let ruin everyone's hard work and didn't seem to care about it
But yeah defending a base is a lot harder than it should be and if you build too big of a base, it will be dev wiped but they don't offer you any other way to defend your base
Exactly PvP is boring I amassed such a hoarde of goods it made the game pointless base wiping offline clans is brainless And fighting major clans outnumbered is pointless Coupled with the fact you have to base sit during raid hours Kills it for a lot of players
Its not the raiding that needs to be harder, its the base building that needs to be easier. Rust has no burnout, i can start on rust TODAY and still be a viable threat to established clans/players. Conan isn't set up to be like that and it damn well doesn't help if they keep doing stupid shit like making legendary weapons useless. The sword of crom didn't need a stamina tax, its already hard to get.
Day one player 💯 percent agree with you I love pvp but been banned twice just for haveing a base in the gutter while the sky base clan is left alone 😂😂
even the PvE sucks now invisible enemies and world bosses can't see them but still can kill you from snakemen brutes to the rhinoceros world boss and the crafting books not rendering/not spawning in the map. 😞 the only way it is playable for me is playing offline and go admin mode when i get killed by bs and giving the crafting books to use if the game did not render them.
I too have died to many of these things you mentioned. I think most of us have had it happen at least once. I would argue adding the ability to my corpse through magic is a god send but it has failed me and made me lose all my gear.
@@Mahazioth we reported but you know funcom it takes weeks and there's not much we can do because there still on there we can't rebuild we can't even put doors on the gutter because they just blow them open
I've started playing conan last year's january, only pvp servers, i already got about 1500 hours and thing is I love the game, I got better in pvp and I'd really enjoy it if they at least tried to fix stuff, but they barely do. Moved to rust about 1-2 months ago and I say it's clearly way more polished even tho there are monthly updates, it's also not dead
Rust has even more cheaters than Conan, yet with the population for rust being so high and their amazing response time, you usually never have to worry about them. Facepunch imo is a great example of what devs should strive for, no team will ever be perfect, that's impractical, but they do a great job over there making sure people can have a fun experience.
Same for me. Conan Exiles could be so great! But it's FUNdamentally inCOMpetent that is blocking it to be great. TBH they should just sell the Conan IP to Valve Software and then we can expect a higher quality product. I am fed up with their bullshit. Shitty design decisions. Greedy bazaar + battlepass. Untested patches. No PvP knowledge from their game design department. No hotfixes to fix critical problems/bugs/exploits. The only department that earns my respect at FUNdamentally inCOMpetent is the art department. Nice music, nice models, nice art style in general.
My clanmate said he would love to see the two who usually do the live streams come play on a pvp server. As funny as it would be, could you imagine the direction the game would go in?
@@Mahazioth Well, the people who do the design decisions (Dennis & Co) should play on a PvP server, best would be a hardcore PvP server to experience the game at "pro" level. But yes, I totally agree. They are so disconnected from their game and how it is played in PvP, it's shocking.
It’s true that Funcom is terrible at fixing even the most game braking bugs and exploits. The bomb duping exploit for example lasted for a long time and made the game a bad joke for months (The servers where a constant new year firework celebration). If Funcom had listened to the constructive criticism that is presented here - then there would have been twice as many people playing Conan Exiles today. But, rant videos/reviews are the new meta for likes/clicks/subscriptions all over the internet- it’s everywhere and it is getting both tedious and boring.
I think it's good to be critical and share your thoughts and opinions with the public. I think if it's the meta then maybe people should learn from them.
100% agree with your video but I think most pvp players know funcom caters to the pve community & although the pve community still experience some issues it’s relatively a polished game for them.
It's ironic because what, 20% percent is spent on pvp encounters (Unless you're one of those that only log on during raid hours) and if you play the game like I do the other 80% is pve related. I would feel it's safe to assume fixing issues on PVP would just help them financially in the long run.
My man you're missing one fine but important detail. Funcom is a Norwegian company. Asking a Norwegian to live in the real world is like asking Larry Bird to hide naked against a black wall. Nothing they do really matters, nothing is at stake in their every day life, it's all sanctioned, organized, orchestrated and facilitated by the government and social systems. The concept of punctuality, attention to detail, prioritization, etc doesn't exist.
Agree and appreciate what you are saying and doing...for my part, I have not played in sometime and have no desire to play any further on this broken platform; or do I feel I wanna roll around in this new "cocaine" meta avoiding the numerous hackr's and glitch'rs whilst lagging all over the place. Shame really as the Conan story has a lot of potential, and dumcom don't see it!!! 😎
It does! It has the potential to be one of a kind and I believe it could honestly pull more people into it's world, if they would get dedicated and serious.
PVP is not something funcom wants.. we just got banned for raiding during PVP on an official server.. not an alpha clan by any means and was only on the server 3 weeks and had less than 5k game pieces down.. as the game is now you can have bombs day 1-2 without much effort. Why the hell ban for PVP and refuse to tell us what we did exactly short of raiding the same clan a few times. F funcom
When they don't give you a reason, it's because they received many reports all at once. Some of the sweatier nerds in the game have dozens of forum accounts they use and report people with. Zendesk is the #1 raid method on officials, after all.
Yep same for my clan. We got mass reported. It’s the meta. They (the clan that got us banned) bragged to our ally clan that they took pictures of their own buildings then took another picture with a repair hammer showing our clan name on a tighter shot where you couldn’t tell what building it was other than what it was built out. Pretty clever and they got what they wanted. A dead server. Funcom is a bunch of cucks. 😂
They also don’t verify the photos they get either. I was online when they deleted our bases right before my eyes. Not a single soul actually verified anything. 😢
Been on the same Xbox PvE-C server for almost 2-3 years. Server crashes every day for an hour period at a time or more. Don’t have time to play PvP and don’t want to start all the way over. Really frustrating that they just don’t care. Can’t transfer anymore so just stuck. You report it and they just send same generic response. Real frustrating on top of everything else.
Ironic because they have the ability to actually see the logs of the server and how many times it crashes. It should be important to them to fix this, cause the customers are the ones playing their game...
@@Mahazioth right? It genuinely crashes 2-3 times a day for a minimum an hour. It’s one one of if not the most populated PvE-C serve on Xbox over last few years too. Blows my mind the lack of awareness they have.
So. First of all about game being unpolished. As games become more advanced. Mechanics vise and all other sort wise. It is innevitable that there are gonna be misstakes. And i actualy love exploits because that allows me sometimes to save time since i am simple family guy but i want to keep up to other gamers. Specialy when you come online and your base has been robbed and you have to start from 0. like fk that then i quit or exploit the game. Also only game that i know who comes as finished game and is polished to complition even with updatss is Elder scrolls onlineand Funcom for most part are fixing exploits and bugs and all. Just not day one.
Here's some constructive criticism PvP is 1/3 of the population And probably the lowest spenders at that because they don't have time to role play with build designs and armor So flybases aren't a major game ending bug for 2/3 and the main spenders of the game. Also GTA, call of duty matter of fact all games has bugs and glitches. ALL Players find them abuse them and some time down the line companies patch them You have good content but your last two videos seem naggy and whinny Hope you don't take this all negative and continue to lash out but focus on the positive That they are updating the game.
@@isaacjacobs4397 exactly. At one point pvp’ers outnumbered PvE players in the beginning. It held pretty strong for the first year or so then funcom’s refusal to fix day one bugs drove a lot of pvp players to other games.
@@isaacjacobs4397 am meaning 1/3 is PvP 1/3 is pvec and the last 3rd is Pve So stop talking as if you're speaking for the entire player base when you're crying about skybases and whats not whats only prevalent in PvP servers and only some servers at that too
@@Bozinian and I never said I talked for the whole player base? I said if they fixed pvp, they would have more pvp players... And I know for a fact Conan has lost majority of their pvp players.
90% of the ppl getting on to you are either PvE'rs where this stuff doesn't matter and they don't care as long as they get their pixel crack, or Cheaters themselves.
Am im the only one who has only played Single player? 😢 ..but i like it...🫠 on Servers i would be afraied to Lose all my progress due to some bug/servershutdown xd
People need to stop perceiving criticism as hating the game, if we hated the game we would move on, we love the game and want to see it improve.
Agreed. Critical thinking is something I was even taught in school. Think for yourself, question things, explore, research, debate etc. Just easier on ones mind to say they are a hater I guess.
Conan is a great game, in a horrible state.
Prob sums it up 100% haven't heard it explained more simple or better ...lol..GG MAZE ...!!
Amen
Factsss
Resumed
The PvP community should get together and make their own medieval fantasy survival game. I'd help however I could.
Can't wait 4 another game maker make a similar game without all the crap.
I don't know if the pvp community could muster enough brain cells to complete such a task! Jokes aside, would be nice.
@@Mahazioth You’re not wrong 😂 it’s the thought that counts though.
Hey I’m trying to start a game company and have an idea that similar give me a link if your interested as well @ZephaniahNoah
I just tried the dismantling exploit and it doesn't work
It works, just remove the item in the first slot, then the second and then the 3rd.
tested it with building hammer and lance.
just one question, and I left a long time ago, why are you not quitting? I mean if there is kind of shit going on it is by definition not working?
because the game is addictive, hard to quit and hard not to come back to, especially when u had people u played with and had fun with. the game's not working and he doesnt quit cuz he wants to see it get better
@@cyosthI appreciate your kind and constructive response. I can relate to what you said.
What @cyosth8965 said and also the fact I am very good at finding ways to amuse myself in a video game. When the bomb dupe was tearing the server apart it became a game within a game of survival for me and my clan. Survive at all cost and give them nothing. Little things like that amuse me. Of course I would much rather a polished game but even this turd can be molded into something.
I can't wait for the Age of Rolling to go live.
Conan is like watching your best friend become a crack addict.
You love them. You have all these great memories with them.
But in the end you can't save them. Only they can.
And at some point you just have to decide if you can live with what they are or if you just have to let it go.
I live with it, but it's fun to rant about it. Especially the report meta. That video is in the works.
@@Mahazioth I would too if it didn't run so shitty on ps4 lol.
But at least a few youtubers like you can give me a bit of the fix without me getting mad at all the stupid shit. When it happens to others I can just laugh at it instead 🤣
I'm glad I only play single player since I work until midnight usually. I don't exploit anything except have building costs at 50%. Even spent around 20 bucks on the bazaar so it'd maybe help keep the game updating a little longer.
Man, I did that for about 2 years. Did Exiles with a couple of characters, then did Siptah several times too, all offline.

isn't that the same thing with all games ? lemme know if there is out there companies that care about the community more than financial gain

On the testlive changes is the stamina regen that bad when u r overweight ? if so do u think farmers are dead if they get caught ?
Will do more testing on that and plan to release some build videos on it.
Wait, Arena Champion is tameable in vanilla exiled lands?
It's not "tameable" per say, unless you put over idk 800-1000 fittings on a hammer.
I agree with you. The ridiculous disconnects just from engaging in battle and the ridiculous and avoidable deaths caused by these.
congrats, you're the first person on youtube to show the jungle spot at 1:14. Been in the game forever, used it as a hideyhole away from hackers many times.
I have gotten some nice hacker loot out of that location. I check that spot every week!
From a player that has over 10k hours, this video and your thoughts are just the reality and i agreed to 200% to what you said, and i enjoy your video and your sincerity, and people should understand that this is in talking true word that wr can hope that one day thing will be better. because the three monkeys of i see nothing, i hear nothing, i tell nothing is not really a good way to improve things.
Are you still able to knock out Arena Champ?
Yes
you won't be able in the new update : "Prying Kit now correctly removes effect from Blunted and Balanced Weapon Fittings."
but the already made truncheons may still be in the game after
@@cyosth apply and remove advanced blunted weapon fitting 8000x times? Bro, Arena Champ health is getting nerfed in Age of War plus Cimmerian Berserker damage multiplayer is literally doubling. I don't think I'm going to gut myself 8000x plus I dunno how many times when attempting to knock out Arena Champ as she will kill my thalls asap.
Fucking finally someone makes a video like this. those noobs in the comments who say nothing is wrong with conan are role players.. all they have to worry about is staying in character. Also i am such an idiot... i have been shift L-Clicking back into my inventory when dupping mats... thanks for the tip
The rant videos are my favorite. It's so funny to me to hear the reality of a pvper. Even in pvec there is countless exploits and bugs such as being able to kill other players thrall and destroying their base. To me it's hilarious and sad at the same time. It sure create lots of laughs and discussion xD.
Glad the entertainment value is seen by some.
This video needs to be everywhere.
The voice of the people.
Apart to totally agree with your video and i don't consider the truth is ranting, you get another essential point. Software house are become lazy over time, because: A) the time for Dev's into test the game are considered waste time, and this is more than absurd, and honest only happens on the game softwares. B) Why spend time to test a game, if you can have players do the test milestone for you, for free, and then report the bugs? In case of Conan, we have seen Mods hundred of times fixing the bugs of the updates. So the point is: is this right? No, in my opinion. Consider, I'm a Dev, i don't work on game industry, but I'm a senior Dev, and if i start to release in production environment products with bugs, my a$$ will be kicked out the door of the company ASAP, and rightly, i will add. In games, this don't happens. Dev's are authorized to release the worst crap, no one blame them, no one punish them, but, the thing called reputation and trust on the company go down and down, and when down, it's hard if not impossible to raise again. For Funcom, consider the fact they're explicit not so high valuable person's as integrity and values, for absurd the work done by some Modders into fix the issue leads to more lazyness. And i don't criticize Modders at all, they do great work, and for free and passion. There's another point i was wondering about: the Ages. I mean, how many Ages we can have on Conan? For their own concept, ages are shorter, and this lead to have to create new ages on year basis. So, again, consider the fact i got zero faith in FC, I'm start to think we will have Ages just for the time they need to crab cash to develop Dune for free. Then, we will have probably one huge DLC for any age, overpriced and to piss the person's who have buyed all that crap for FOMO. After this... Mhh, we will see. What do you think about? I HOPE it's just a personal consideration, but still, lose the trust, you can think the worst.
I have been playing online PC games since the 1990s. I was also in tech for many years. I have seen this laziness on development for software (not just games) for the last 20+ years. It has gotten a lot worse in the last 10 years. We used to have a saying back in the day that the last 20% of any development takes 80% of the time.
Amen
People who play Conan Exiles, Exile Lands or Siptah, know to well about all the bugs and glitches.
Even now on Siptah we still have bugs present that where introduced with the Sorcery Update.
I'm looking forward to Age Of War , but I'm not looking forward to the bugs this Update will undoubtedly add.
Lag is a big issue on Console Servers, basically because we do not get as much memory as the PC servers, yet Funcom keep adding bigger and bigger benches and now they adding a loot room which I guess will also be substantial in size, thus adding to the lag issues on Console Servers.
(I play Conan Exiles on an XboxSX).
Great video
The game from day one has had issues with cheaters exploits mesh's etc. You use to be able to have all max stats strength agil etc, you could walk in water at the bottom like it was land and not losing air people had bases under water at that time. Put about 3000 hours in the game and honestly was just done with the game even before sorcery came out that they promised at release.. everything was grindy and half the time I would have to spend hours looking in mesh's to actually wipe someone. I heard it's not as grindy resource wise which is good to hear but it's not worth dealing with the goofy stuff after that kind of time investment. Then how broken transferring accounts became, then how broken they were on the servers they were stuck on after disabling it with the sep gear.. balancing has never been in the game properly in the 4-5 years I played it. I even dealt with dudes either doing a infinite stamina glitch or cheats. They could not only run faster than anyone else but they would be fucking rolling passed you not just running to get in front of you. Ridiculous
Seems like some people forgot all about these issues and how long it took them to address "some" of them. I still fall to the bottom of bodies of water sometimes, died to drowning cause I could not climb.
@@Mahazioth going thru the same thing with dark tide community.. they seem to forget all vermintide 2 issues and act surprised dark tide is a mess..
It was and still is a pretty small dev team and may be smaller due to Funcom working on Dune idk. But they say they are hiring new people so have a little hope and i mean a little hope no new expansions of the EL map or anything major just maybe bug fixes and corrections but anything like pvp is probably gonna remain the same.
Thank you so much for speaking your mind. I could not agree more with most of your comments. I have been playing on official NA server since early release and have over 5300 hours and simply put, you hit it on the nail. I don't believe it's a rant, it's an observation on a game that is no longer considered new or in early access so we have the right to expect more as a customer, as a consumer of a product that by now should be polished and ready to play an enjoy. Oh your comment about the disconnection is golden. I go through it every time I play on official at this moment is just expected to be logged off when fighting in the volcano or anywhere else on the exiled lands. Thank you so much, you are golden.❤🎉
Appreciate the kind words and it does me well to read them.
I think some people assume by these types of videos I hate the game, but it's my love for the game that drives me to make these. I guess I could sugar coat everything and pretend it's all rainbows and sunshine but that's not the reality. I still hope one day the devs strive for more, idk if it will ever happen for Conan but maybe Dune? Future Conan games? We should all have basic standards when we purchase a product, that's not insanity or entitlement.
In my opinion they should make it that way that they make a content update and than find out the Bugs und stuff and make a Bug fix Update
Conan is a good game, but if the Devs listened to the community who don't exploit it could be a great game.
This clanname on the boxes in the undermesh just had me folding double.Haha
One thing i always find fascinating and not just with CE but it seems with any online game really, is how fast a bug that benefits players EX: the Magi Skull bug, gets patched (it was like 2 weeks i think) but other bugs that seem simple enough to fix like the twitch drop Rocknose statue will probably take like 6 months to a year. Its like the programmers only go hardcore when its fun police time but if its something we complain about, then suffer peasant.
They fixed it faster than they fixed the bomb duping exploit, you know the one you could literally use fiber to craft infinite bombs... Yeah... Take their time on that one but the magi skulls? MUST BE FIXED ASAP!
You got a good point. Look how quick the arena champion glitch got patched but the rhino bug? Man these devices can go suck their mothers holes dry. F**k them.
I am glad you do this. Shining a light on the issues is important. I am a poor pvp’er but the main reason I don’t pvp is because of all of the exploits used by the win at all costs” players. It’s one thing getting wiped in fair combat by a better player, but it’s quite another when they are just using an exploit that you don’t know about. I am concerned though that funcom will even bother doing anything at all until they feel it in their pocket. They mentioned on their age of war stream that they have never had as many people playing and spending as much time in the game, they will simply relate those metrics to profits to keep the shareholders happy and take it as confirmation they are doing a great job. Quality be damned. Keep doing what you are doing because if enough of us draw attention to the issues they may wake up and relate a player numbers and retention metric to quality too.
Funcom seems to forget that even people on pvp servers still do the pve. If they actually addressed serious issues they could have even higher statistics to share with shareholders. It's just smart business. But what do I know, I just play the game.
@@Mahazioth agreed!
Better and more balanced combat helps PvE too.
To be fair they act just like any other Swedish developer. Consider Dice or Fatshark. Its the same mentality. It will never change because I think they believe that the world should conform to their needs and requirements - not the other way around. Each of these developers have longstanding issues with the core mechanics of their titles and it often plays out the same with said developers ignoring loud player feedback for at least a year (or in Conans case at least 3) and taking their sweet time to improve the games interspersed with lots and lots of holidays along with as much pay gated content as they can get away with. I left Conan after they closed up all the world holes I used to love discovering and building in and pre climb mechanics. I did come back once years later to see if they had improved and ran into the dry water well bug YEARS after they said it had been fixed. A waste of time and money.
I could say quite a few things about Dice and Fatshark lol, but you're right. The time we are in for gaming has truly just become a cash grab for a lot of teams. The sense of pride in creating a well polished playable game is long dead (in a lot of cases anyway not all).
So many things are invisible on singleplayer for ps5 or don't render all, the latest is the sentinel statues completely disappeared
Noticed thralls going invisible on my end as well.
5K hours in and honestly they should have just left conan exiles at 2.8 and go make their ''conan 2'' or whatever. 3.0 was rubbish, sorcery update was lazy and trash. the few good they good is outweighed by the bugs and the bad they bring. They cant truly fix the game because its too far gone with the spaghetti coding, they should just go make a new one and start from the ground up.
been saying this for years now. its just to busted in just about every way possible just move on please, stop putting time into this trash.
I can't wait to see what Dune offers :)
I just wish they'd focus on the game integrity itself, the bugs, exploits, etc. First. And then once theyve done that then they can bring in this ages thing and content. I'd like to see NPC AI upgrades, bug fixes such as climbing over a foundation and getting knocked off, legendary loot chest despawning or not opening (even with key at level 60) and overall just fix the foundation of the game first before building on more stuff.
Btw, there's also the fact that almost everything has lost quality because people in general have lower standards than they used to. We see the results of that here with Funcom.
Yes, yes, and YES. If you look at just the history of gaming, standards have been set real low this day an age. "Ah release it in beta, we can fix issues as they pop up. Eh we made 20 million let's pull the plug."
I had no problem when Funcom did dlc packs, you got some building, armor, trinkets etc. When they announced the bazaar it was clear where their heart lies.
As a pver even I see the amount of bugs each update bring, even the drops get bugged
I quit just before bazar....
It's so much fun to see how that game is bugged, as i don't play PVP i was not really aware of this. I have noticed many of theses bugs but well in a PVP perspective it must be a nighmare!! As i have played Fallout 76 when it was just out in beta i can say that i'm kind of vaccinated against bugs!! I have also played Cyberpunk at it's release so i can say that bugs are a part of me now, i don't know if i could live without bugs!!
So i have to thank Funcom for that daily dose of bugs, now i see a bug free game as utterly boring! 😁
But what baffles me it's when Funcom changes something, they don't know what balance is and since a few update i clearly see where they are going. Conan was a quite hard survival game and if they want to sell it to a large number of players they thought that they have to make it easy. So we got the Kithan who sell the high end stuff for peanuts, then we had the journey steps for babies and now in age of war we have a major nerf of ennemies, there willbe soon no challenge anymore so any idiot can play the game, have fun as a casual sunday player and buy the wonderfull stuff in the shop, that's so cool man !!!
Question for you. Because I have a theory after thousands and thousands of hours on multiple platforms. Assuming that there was no cheaters/exploiters, do you think more would play pvp if raiding was harder.... like a LOT harder. I quit playing pvp, not because I got wiped, but because I am tired of raiding. It's too easy. And it's ridiculous that somebody like me can wipe a clan solo within minutes when it took them weeks or even months to build.
I had a good base that was hard to raid before sorcery, wasnt the flying bat letting people drop in my base that killed it, but because of the bomb dupe that they let ruin everyone's hard work and didn't seem to care about it
But yeah defending a base is a lot harder than it should be and if you build too big of a base, it will be dev wiped but they don't offer you any other way to defend your base
Exactly PvP is boring I amassed such a hoarde of goods it made the game pointless base wiping offline clans is brainless
And fighting major clans outnumbered is pointless
Coupled with the fact you have to base sit during raid hours
Kills it for a lot of players
Its not the raiding that needs to be harder, its the base building that needs to be easier. Rust has no burnout, i can start on rust TODAY and still be a viable threat to established clans/players. Conan isn't set up to be like that and it damn well doesn't help if they keep doing stupid shit like making legendary weapons useless. The sword of crom didn't need a stamina tax, its already hard to get.
@@brucieplays3720 uh... you can farm up a bunch of supplies and leave them processing, come back during raid times and offline someone..
Day one player 💯 percent agree with you I love pvp but been banned twice just for haveing a base in the gutter while the sky base clan is left alone 😂😂
even the PvE sucks now invisible enemies and world bosses can't see them but still can kill you from snakemen brutes to the rhinoceros world boss and the crafting books not rendering/not spawning in the map. 😞 the only way it is playable for me is playing offline and go admin mode when i get killed by bs and giving the crafting books to use if the game did not render them.
I too have died to many of these things you mentioned. I think most of us have had it happen at least once. I would argue adding the ability to my corpse through magic is a god send but it has failed me and made me lose all my gear.
I have 7k hours and i agree with this we have had people on out home server mesh in our base in the gutter and use a sky base
Our
I have even reported people with video evidence meshing into a gutter base. Sorry to hear that happened to you.
@@Mahazioth we reported but you know funcom it takes weeks and there's not much we can do because there still on there we can't rebuild we can't even put doors on the gutter because they just blow them open
I've started playing conan last year's january, only pvp servers, i already got about 1500 hours and thing is I love the game, I got better in pvp and I'd really enjoy it if they at least tried to fix stuff, but they barely do. Moved to rust about 1-2 months ago and I say it's clearly way more polished even tho there are monthly updates, it's also not dead
Rust has even more cheaters than Conan, yet with the population for rust being so high and their amazing response time, you usually never have to worry about them. Facepunch imo is a great example of what devs should strive for, no team will ever be perfect, that's impractical, but they do a great job over there making sure people can have a fun experience.
Same for me. Conan Exiles could be so great! But it's FUNdamentally inCOMpetent that is blocking it to be great. TBH they should just sell the Conan IP to Valve Software and then we can expect a higher quality product. I am fed up with their bullshit. Shitty design decisions. Greedy bazaar + battlepass. Untested patches. No PvP knowledge from their game design department. No hotfixes to fix critical problems/bugs/exploits. The only department that earns my respect at FUNdamentally inCOMpetent is the art department. Nice music, nice models, nice art style in general.
My clanmate said he would love to see the two who usually do the live streams come play on a pvp server. As funny as it would be, could you imagine the direction the game would go in?
@@Mahazioth Well, the people who do the design decisions (Dennis & Co) should play on a PvP server, best would be a hardcore PvP server to experience the game at "pro" level. But yes, I totally agree. They are so disconnected from their game and how it is played in PvP, it's shocking.
People just blindly defending this crap is insane.
It’s true that Funcom is terrible at fixing even the most game braking bugs and exploits. The bomb duping exploit for example lasted for a long time and made the game a bad joke for months (The servers where a constant new year firework celebration). If Funcom had listened to the constructive criticism that is presented here - then there would have been twice as many people playing Conan Exiles today. But, rant videos/reviews are the new meta for likes/clicks/subscriptions all over the internet- it’s everywhere and it is getting both tedious and boring.
I think it's good to be critical and share your thoughts and opinions with the public. I think if it's the meta then maybe people should learn from them.
I remember these fights lol good comments!
100% agree with your video but I think most pvp players know funcom caters to the pve community & although the pve community still experience some issues it’s relatively a polished game for them.
It's ironic because what, 20% percent is spent on pvp encounters (Unless you're one of those that only log on during raid hours) and if you play the game like I do the other 80% is pve related. I would feel it's safe to assume fixing issues on PVP would just help them financially in the long run.
Nooo that was my favorite solo Spot in the Jungel 😢 Now i need to look for a new Spot 😂
Shame on you! lol
My man you're missing one fine but important detail. Funcom is a Norwegian company. Asking a Norwegian to live in the real world is like asking Larry Bird to hide naked against a black wall. Nothing they do really matters, nothing is at stake in their every day life, it's all sanctioned, organized, orchestrated and facilitated by the government and social systems. The concept of punctuality, attention to detail, prioritization, etc doesn't exist.
That Larry Bird bit had me rolling.
Thanks for showing aII the expIoits, now I know what's going on.
If u cart build in the gutter why is it a build zone and no warning in the rules I appeal to them all I got back was read the rules
Yep. Seen people in gutter on my server get banned for just "building". I guess they consider it a pathway... It's a joke honestly.
Agree and appreciate what you are saying and doing...for my part, I have not played in sometime and have no desire to play any further on this broken platform; or do I feel I wanna roll around in this new "cocaine" meta avoiding the numerous hackr's and glitch'rs whilst lagging all over the place. Shame really as the Conan story has a lot of potential, and dumcom don't see it!!! 😎
It does! It has the potential to be one of a kind and I believe it could honestly pull more people into it's world, if they would get dedicated and serious.
Probably best pvp game out and yet they keep updating it and fixing nothing 😂
I biggest problem i have with this game disconnected disconnected disconnected disconnected disconnected disconnected!
How is this not the biggest discussion on this game?
Fully agree
How do you prove an opinion is valid?
funcom seems to completely revamp and change instead of admitting to their mistakes in the newest shitty system nobody wants with bugs the won’t fix
It's like a shiny neon sign when they release content, NEW STUFF... The fine print is small and unreadable and says "old bugs".
PVP is not something funcom wants.. we just got banned for raiding during PVP on an official server.. not an alpha clan by any means and was only on the server 3 weeks and had less than 5k game pieces down.. as the game is now you can have bombs day 1-2 without much effort. Why the hell ban for PVP and refuse to tell us what we did exactly short of raiding the same clan a few times. F funcom
When they don't give you a reason, it's because they received many reports all at once. Some of the sweatier nerds in the game have dozens of forum accounts they use and report people with. Zendesk is the #1 raid method on officials, after all.
Yep same for my clan. We got mass reported. It’s the meta. They (the clan that got us banned) bragged to our ally clan that they took pictures of their own buildings then took another picture with a repair hammer showing our clan name on a tighter shot where you couldn’t tell what building it was other than what it was built out. Pretty clever and they got what they wanted. A dead server. Funcom is a bunch of cucks. 😂
They also don’t verify the photos they get either. I was online when they deleted our bases right before my eyes. Not a single soul actually verified anything. 😢
Been on the same Xbox PvE-C server for almost 2-3 years. Server crashes every day for an hour period at a time or more. Don’t have time to play PvP and don’t want to start all the way over. Really frustrating that they just don’t care. Can’t transfer anymore so just stuck. You report it and they just send same generic response. Real frustrating on top of everything else.
Ironic because they have the ability to actually see the logs of the server and how many times it crashes. It should be important to them to fix this, cause the customers are the ones playing their game...
@@Mahazioth right? It genuinely crashes 2-3 times a day for a minimum an hour. It’s one one of if not the most populated PvE-C serve on Xbox over last few years too. Blows my mind the lack of awareness they have.
So. First of all about game being unpolished. As games become more advanced. Mechanics vise and all other sort wise. It is innevitable that there are gonna be misstakes. And i actualy love exploits because that allows me sometimes to save time since i am simple family guy but i want to keep up to other gamers. Specialy when you come online and your base has been robbed and you have to start from 0. like fk that then i quit or exploit the game.
Also only game that i know who comes as finished game and is polished to complition even with updatss is Elder scrolls onlineand Funcom for most part are fixing exploits and bugs and all. Just not day one.
It would be nice if they could find a balance. But they got more artwork to sell.
When they adamantly refuse to port the game to UE5 because it has some "custom code" just give up on anything changing. See ya on officials man!
See ya there.
They need to abandon all this crappy Minecraft shit and remake Anarchy Online.
I love/hate this game
Nah, just wait for Dune
The only way I can see dune being some what decent is, that they are all working on it instead of Conan and that's why Conan is so trash now 😭
gonna be the best game 😅
I am excitedly waiting for Dune, for I know the shit show that awaits me!
how does modder create better content than funcom. modders added mounts that I wanted and funcom cant with there own game.
Still waiting for them to capitalize on hairstyles in the bazaar. Funcom you heard it here first.
Here's some constructive criticism
PvP is 1/3 of the population
And probably the lowest spenders at that because they don't have time to role play with build designs and armor
So flybases aren't a major game ending bug for 2/3 and the main spenders of the game.
Also GTA, call of duty matter of fact all games has bugs and glitches. ALL
Players find them abuse them and some time down the line companies patch them
You have good content but your last two videos seem naggy and whinny
Hope you don't take this all negative and continue to lash out but focus on the positive
That they are updating the game.
Where did you get 1/3rd from? If they fixed pvp they could have a 1:1 player base.
@@isaacjacobs4397 exactly. At one point pvp’ers outnumbered PvE players in the beginning. It held pretty strong for the first year or so then funcom’s refusal to fix day one bugs drove a lot of pvp players to other games.
@@isaacjacobs4397 am meaning 1/3 is PvP
1/3 is pvec and
the last 3rd is Pve
So stop talking as if you're speaking for the entire player base when you're crying about skybases and whats not whats only prevalent in PvP servers and only some servers at that too
@@Bozinian just because it has 3 options doesn't mean the players a split equally.... You sound salty and not too smart.
@@Bozinian and I never said I talked for the whole player base? I said if they fixed pvp, they would have more pvp players... And I know for a fact Conan has lost majority of their pvp players.
Best game ever, I completely share you're opinion
90% of the ppl getting on to you are either PvE'rs where this stuff doesn't matter and they don't care as long as they get their pixel crack, or Cheaters themselves.
This game is utter fucking trash
Am im the only one who has only played Single player? 😢 ..but i like it...🫠 on Servers i would be afraied to Lose all my progress due to some bug/servershutdown xd
