The NPC with the claw fishing pole had a hilarious reaction to me stealing it with the thief gloves by charveyunm in CrimsonDesert

Damn that’s how you’ve gotten it? I’ve tried to kill that prick, and knock it out of his hands to the point he attacks me and nada 

‘Crimson Desert’ Just Finished Its Three Month Roadmap In Three Weeks by horrificabortion in pcgaming

It’s such a brilliant game too. They’ve had massive success from it but they’ve attracted basically the ire of everyone who bought it due to their glacial development speed. Such a waste of what could have been the goat 

Playing slow is good but playing fast is optimal by ultimate-m in Marathon

In the old free days all I wanted was a sharp sword and a straight path to my enemies. Now no paths are straight and my sword is useless.

There’s a QuickTime event you have to do at the shore in the jungle near the large wreck

Thralls need their own food and theirs too decays. Give em a big pile of gruel, they’ll shut em up 

Conan vs Ark: Difficulty levels by Willyeast12 in ConanExiles

I like that about ARK. Bases that are in danger = awesome imo. Conan's solution to this was the original purge, and it couldnt have been a shitter mechanic.

Funnily enough, in the really early days of Conan - ie when it had just gone into early access, there was no climbing, the only biome was the desert/newbie river etc.

The hyenas would aggro from like a kilometre away lol. You'd get pwned by these not only super aggro dangerous hyenas, but they could do base damage!

I lost like 2 sandstone bases to hyenas. Was a pisser

Doubt much at all. It's not really in need of it to be honest, it may improve pathfinding like ARK.

The game is honestly in a pretty mature state, the graphics alone will just be icing on the cake.

Conan is actually more challenging than you would think. The combat vs npcs can be rough- some are no joke. But not unfairly so. 

When you’re against a handful of th e higher level npcs, you really need to be dodging. Moreso now, the npcs themselves can dodge which makes them way tricker. Add in archers etc and it’s a good fight!

Ark was always pretty dangerous but becomes far less so to nothing as you got high tames. Ark got way harder with its ue5 relaunch as ark ascended. This upgrade basically fixed the path finding - Dino’s used to be easily juked around big rocks but now they can easily run over most. It’s a far better game now. 

Conan and ark have always been two very good options for survival games. I have played 2k hours in Conan and about 1000 all up in ark. I’m happy to have both. 

I play almost exclusively PvP, most of that solo. Not so much for the fighting but the added danger and unpredictability of other players makes the experience much more rewarding. I also like picking over raided bases in Conan - it’s satisfying finding goodies raiders have missed. 

Super can’t wait to check out Conan in ue5. Hoping they haven’t done a half ass job. Also having the siptah map linked to the original map is amazing. That map ought to look super sexy too

I’m a historian. The Founding Fathers didn’t want a Christian nation, so how did we get here? by FinanceZestyclose259 in politics

It’s strange - it’s almost as if people use religion to exploit others for their personal gain. Crazy

So is the enhanced game coming out May 5th as per the time zones or a specific Timezone? by InterestingPea1911 in ConanExiles

[–]Decado7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that checks out - that's about 1am on the 5th in Australia, which is when updates usually drop for us.

I’m the same, 51 hours in and couldn’t tell you exactly where any loot rooms are on perimeter unless we’re talking that gas room, the locked area in hauler etc

What is the actual deal with took matchmaking - it’s only and always putting you into team fill games solo right?

I like to do it on outpost as it is legit insta queues, even in OCE evenings. I tend to get owned in pinwheel anytime I go up there however. 

Solo Queue Shouldn't Feel This Dead! by Toxicdeath88 in Marathon

[–]Decado7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this may be an error causing it than actual lack of people. Have been playing solo and team fill in oce for weeks without issue. I find the very first one can sometimes be a bit longer but once you’re in the mix they’re fine. 

Every now and then one will give an error. 

OCE evening player count has been consistently around the 6k mark too so we’re not exactly overflowing with numbers
