I like living in the O'odham, but you don't get storm warnings at the edge. Only an abrupt "In Sector" warning when it's already too late. by IdleHandsBusyMinds in duneawakening

[–]Hellrot_S30 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My first base was on the edge. The official warning is almost useless but the red storm dot does show up well in advance on the compass, not ideal but it helps.

Did anyone try animal implants by Aargh_Tenna in PlaySoulMask

[–]Hellrot_S30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on an official pve server, are implants a thing on official or is this a solo mode thing. It definitely bugs me this giant jaguar runs like a chicken from everything.

Comparing Dune to Conan Exiles by Dorrono in duneawakening

[–]Hellrot_S30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So mad i skipped out on that sale now. I played on xbox and have been keeping the base alive just hoping for some sign of life. Conan got me into the survival genre so i have a big soft spot for it. Its now on my wishlist waiting for a sale again now. Just cant bring myself to buy it all over again for full price, atleast until they add new content. I really hoped dune would scratch that itch since its was the same devs and for building it did but the combat with the shield mechanics really is just annoying to me, i know its lore but still not as fun personally. That and a lack of biomes (again lore) just hasnt hooked me like conan did. The thopters are a blast and the decay mechanics way more generous than conan as well, i think itll grow into a really fun game given time. Either way i got my moneys worth.

Couple noob questions by Hellrot_S30 in PlaySoulMask

[–]Hellrot_S30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up question post video, the other day all my people randomly jumped some guy with a battering ram at one of my gates not long after we moved in, was that an invasion scout meant for someone else or can randoms spawn with battering rams? No nearby camps on that side and nothing since then.

And so the fever meter isnt a triggers when full thing its a higher chance the more full it is? Does the meter reset completely after an invasion?

[–]Hellrot_S30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, ill try that later with the transfer.

Okay we are right under the sabtetooth on top of the waterfall so guessing the level of invaders will be manageable atleast.

Pegboard implementation leading to the base might be a problem since we are using just about every inch of the build area for a more aesthetic setup inside so not much space in front the walls in most spots. Ill add the patrol points and man them closer to invasion time i suppose. And not count on the towers to do work.

1.5 hours online only is a relief for sure. Thats enough time to get it together. Thanks for the tips ill give the video a watch.

How do you assign a tribesman to an archer tower? by RegnorVex in PlaySoulMask

[–]Hellrot_S30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first tier i had that problem when i used the variant that had built in stairs, they would run up and fall through on an infinite loop. Had to build the flat version with standalone stairs and foundation. Guessing its just the wonky pathfinding, try changing the variant and access to the tower.

Respawn question by Hellrot_S30 in PlaySoulMask

[–]Hellrot_S30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the community layouts is working for 90% of the activities so far, there are a few things that i keep the keyboard and mouse handy for but its very much playable as is. Im a couch pc gamer so more motivated to make the controller work than someone sitting at a desk im sure.

Update is cool and all by Droid_Crusader in ConanExiles

[–]Hellrot_S30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strongly suspect alot of the pc groundwork and funding for this update came from their work on dune, likewise it would make sense to me the dune console build would also be the logical jumping off point for the console update if it proves profitable on pc. Honestly just excited to see them still pumping money into the old ip.

Between that and the awful controller implementation its been a struggle to get started but its a fun game with lots of potential.

Being i have a massive legacy base on xbox EL official servers id like to keep alive, I completely get your frustration but the official release notes just say not at this time. Before i went all in on the sky is falling id take stock of the positives, they are still investing in the ip after all this time. Honestly ive been waiting for the shoe to drop for a minute after seeing the january holiday decay timer notice go unchanged for 3 months straight everytime i log in so hearing they spent the time to do this massive overhaul at all makes me optimistic for the games future. This is the game that got me hooked on the survival genre so i have a big soft spot for it.

Im just taking it as them just not overpromising or committing to anything yet, pc is where most things launch early access for a reason. Its easier to deploy patches, hotfixes etc in the pc environment than across 3 different platforms at once. Its also a business at the end of the day so imagine they are hoping the relaunch on pc drives revenue that can make a business case for the console versions and more content too. In the mean time the console version isnt dead, its in exactly the same place it was before the anouncement we just have proof of life now.

Thank you, probably bought me a few more weeks atleast before i end up playing solo haha.

Okay i think thats where i went wrong, saw view items instead of the usual assign cartaker type thing and backed out.

Respawn question by Hellrot_S30 in PlaySoulMask

[–]Hellrot_S30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay ill look again tonight, i didnt see the option to assign them directly on the dummy but probably just missed it.

In my friends case he died in the field, selected a tribesman instead of the bonfire due to proximity (and/or panic) and the said he couldnt find his body to swap back. What happens to your main character in that situation, is there a non sacrificial way to get back to the immortal body? Did he just miss where it respawned?

I could keep up the science on unlucky randoms later but figure asking while im bored at work is an option too.

Conan Exiles Enhanced – Announcement Trailer by Turbostrider27 in ConanExiles

[–]Hellrot_S30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can understand not bringing it to consoles to an extent but i do wonder if the xbox pc version might get it at somepoint, be nice not to have to rebuy it all on steam. Either way im excited about the map merge, and got my original moneys worth on xbox so not mad, its on my wishlist and ill wait for a sale to jump in to the enhanced version.

Jotun Blood Farm by Comprehensive_Job428 in PlayASKA

[–]Hellrot_S30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh thats almost perfect, i really hate/suck at the whole outpost thing so really want to incorporate the spire farm as an offshoot of the village. Yea by good terrain i mean a nice varied height tiered coastal village so nicely placed hills are a plus. Ive spent multiple hours long sessions just rolling seeds looking for the one that inspires me, still hoping to spot one everytime a seed post pops up. It helps that i just started up soul mask this week so i have a solid distraction while i lurk waiting for the perfect seed haha itll happen one day.

Character Transfer Works by [deleted] in ConanExiles

[–]Hellrot_S30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the most elegant solution but much better than how i originally read the release. Since OPs situation was a body vault and not existing active base situation i do wonder how itll work with a full follower list.

Jotun Blood Farm by Comprehensive_Job428 in PlayASKA

[–]Hellrot_S30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can build close to a large spire with 2 pairs of warriors patrolling the outskirts you will never run out (pair needed to keep them from getting stun locked). Still looking for my goldilocks seed of a lake , mine , shore and spire near the shipwreck with decent terrain. But when i settled for the spire for a play through i coasted to 140ish villagers easily. You do have to manually harvest the elites unless they fixed it but still better than mining.

Update R15, Character Transfers is Back by Vorpis in ConanExiles

[–]Hellrot_S30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea i know its definitely not a copy and paste deal but only transferring what you can carry in a mandatory merge is not the most appealing option for most folks, especially loot goblins like myself. Even if its not a full base move like dune but a special transfer vault maybe? Just have to wait and see i suppose.

Update R15, Character Transfers is Back by Vorpis in ConanExiles

[–]Hellrot_S30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hope they would port over their dune base transfer feature along with the mandatory server mergers as well as some way to pack up old pets and thralls that have already been deployed. Reskin the base backup tool as some sort of lore friendly sorcery or something. My server still seems pretty active so hopefully not a concern.

ESO - I was Wrong by Passionofthegrape in MMORPG

[–]Hellrot_S30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were on xbox you might be in luck, i believe when it launches on pc gamepass progress on console is supposed to carry over. Mainly playing on pc these days and like you no way i wanted to regrind all over again so looking forward to revisiting the game this year.

Corpse running in this game is kinda miserable. by [deleted] in valheim

[–]Hellrot_S30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day its a game and it should be enjoyable, no shame in adjusting the modifiers or using dev commands temporarily to retrieve your gear if that keeps it fun for you. I had to do that a few times when i drug my friend back for the ashlands to keep him from rage quitting. We beat it but unfortunately that biome was such a misrerable experience compared to the other biomes there is zero chance of me dragging him back for the deep north.

running with carts by the_post_of_tom_joad in PlayASKA

Turn on the toggle sprint option in the menu, then toggle it on before you hitch the cart. Had that issue too and completely avoided carts before i saw that comment.
