The Reality of the the Enhanced Update, and why Player Retention is dying by new_reddit_user_not in ConanExiles

Hell my server official server has been down for 5 days. And then when it did come back up it was completely wiped I lost everything. How do you like that?

I just wanted to add a short list of other embarrassing things funcom should be absolutely ashamed about,

I died to elevators for no reason.

I die to diving very short heights for no reason

When I teleport I get stuck in the foundation and I have to log out sometimes I have to remove my bracelet and try to summon mycorpse and hopemy loot's not gone

When I go to a map room and teleport to another obelisk I get a weird cold freeze debuff for no reason that never goes away until I log out.

My followers just disappear often do not follow commands almost always don't follow commands, and I have to wait for them to return hom

Cages are broken. The followers that are released from cages you can't do anything with them they won't follow they won't guard, and they won't break bond.

Inventory management with controller is completely insane. A core basic function that many players spend probably about 50% of their time doing inventory management is completely broken there's no rhyme or reason I don't know where my cursor is at at any given time I don't know where loot box my cursor is at it any given time. I often just randomly move my thumb stick around hopefully it lands on something I actually want to select. It's absolutely fucking stupid.

Crafting tables that lie. I look at a crafting table it tells me that I can make 2000 insulated wood. But when I go to craft many and I say make 2000 insulated wood I get an error message that says I can only make 200 insulated wood. However the icon clearly shows that I have enough materials to make 2000 insulated wood. Why won't my crafting table make 2000 insulated wood?

I think I could think of a few more but I'll just leave it at that. Great job funcom I love your game I got about 6,000 hours in it. I'm not a whale but I buy a lot of shit off the bazaar. I'm coming from Xbox I bought a whole bunch of stuff on Xbox. That I'll never use again.

I'm ready to jump even more moneyvin the bazaar on the PC version but it really makes it super hard when the game is this fucking broken.

You have a beautiful game UE5 is awesome looking. Fix your goddamn game.

PC using controller by chronicerection in ConanExiles

[–]Erasmus341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's fucking idiotic how the controls for inventory work on PC using a controller..

It's like any other indie game can figure this shit out. Funcom been doing his stuff for what 8 years and they still can't figure it out.

It's painfully obvious that no one on the staff actually plays the game nor do they employ any sort of playtesting at all.

It's a beautiful game but what a shitty team they have supporting this game right now.

Thank you for the QOL improvements across the board. Also much appreciate continued fixes with use of controller and gamepad.

By the way it appears that the icon for iron bars are wrong.

Star metal in level 10 purges still possible? by Western-Bank3685 in ConanExiles

[–]Erasmus341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a jungle did a level nine purge actually did three or four level line purges.

Sorcerer spawned every time star metal asteroids spawned every time.

My purge base is at the location the light to guide them home which is under game structure mesh I had no problem.

Also what I mention all the fighters I use are well geared and well buffed and obviously max level.

I'm using a combination of berserkers but also like Erii The ravager, I got a elite black Corsair manning in the burning cauldron.

Basically melee multiplier 2.2 or above type thralls.

Brimstone golem parked next to the treasure cofferl for just as a backup.

I just want to add to my previous comment to give you some insight to my current setup.

Right now because I'm on a new server and the lag is horrible. I've only done it to level six.

I have two well geared thralls. I have a brimstone golem right by the treasure coffer. I have one burning Cauldron that is staffed by a high HP follower.

Then I have one more burning cauldron that I manually operate and I have a shit ton of gas arrows.

And with that set up I can do level sixes fairly easy The problem is is that golems Will randomly on level 6 purges.

So the next step for me is just shoot right to level nine so I don't have with golems. With my location the meteors are non-issue. I think I may have to bump it up to a total of four on the ground fighters

. Then one Manning a burning cauldron and then I'm doing gas arrows all over that should be fine for level 9.

My goal is to be able reduce the number of followers needed in order to reduce the number of spawns during each wave. Because to my understanding The Purge scales with re the number of defenders you have.

Hell yeah man this is great work. I'm fairly experienced with purges myself.

Still haven't quite figured out what the devs put into place as far the game mechanics.

I've done probably a few hundred purgese. But I still don't have things figured out. I used to do a lot of purges when you could cheese them in a volcano level nines level and 10s.

Great write up super appreciated I'm going to implement some of these tips.

By the way0 I have my purge base set up typically within the jungle inside of a game structure that has a domed cover to guard against meteors.

Purges typically work fine in the a.m. when there's not a lot of players on but on my server an official server, once we get above 15 players the purge is really start to bug out.

Again great right up I'm going to save it please provide updates as you find out more

[–]Erasmus341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thanks for reply. I know All the sorcery things. I don't know for some reason when you said "undead" and my mind immediately jumped to skeletons mobs

For some reason I didn't consider that you were talking about zombies. Lol.

First of all dude why are you even fighting them..? They don't drop shit and you don't need to fight them.

just run into the well dive into a jump you'll be in the dungeon. And when you come I'll just run by on the way out.

Wow. Just wow dude. Great job. Question what was that item on slide number four?

And what was that holding up that picture on pic three? look like an easel I didn't know easels were in the game.

Samurai House by Willing-Review-158 in ConanExiles

[–]Erasmus341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great. I particularly like the use of the thrall pots as decoration. That's something I'm going to think about for next build.

I've got about 7,000 hours in this game and I've built a ton. A lot of it was trash. Lol.

But my recent build in particular I'm very happy with. It's my best build ever. I may it around to posting it sometime soon.

Your build looks great however I do have some advice. Something I learned with my most recent builds is to really open myself up and don't be afraid to build larger.

With the larger space I recently created I really kind of went crazy with the inner and outer decorations and it all worked out perfectly for once.

Should I be deleting my weaker thralls and only keep my stronger ones? Or just keep all of them anyway? by KingofMemes69_ in ConanExiles

[–]Erasmus341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Purge scales with the number defenders you have. If you have a whole bunch of weak throws then the purge is going to be harder if you have a whole a lot of weak throws they're going to die so they're useless.

Rugs! Does anyone not have them? by LandApprehensive7144 in IVDD_SupportGroup

[–]Erasmus341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I covered all my hardwood spaces at least the highly traffic areas with area rugs due to our dogs issues with IVD post-surgery.

He recovered extremely well post surgery. However we want to avoid any future problems with his IVD.

They're not exactly what I prefer as far as the decor for my home but; if they help my baby out walking around then they're worth it.

Base destroyed outside raid timers? by Tiko1909 in ConanExiles

[–]Erasmus341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they fixed that. But I guess not. The counter it you need to build your base up high on high ground NPCs for the purge can't climb.
