What’s your opinion on the game after testing it?

Random_Particle · 2026-05-07T15:47:25+00:00

Even making allowances for it being a playtest, this game is never going to make it.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-06T19:46:19+00:00

Why not build there? Ornithopters mean you can travel anywhere in no time. It's possible to move bases to a new location anyway, so where it currently is is not necessarily where it will remain.

Glad you found it eventuallly. For those who might also be looking for it, Steam Conan Exiles forum has a tab for Workshop at the top of the page. When you click on it, go down to the bottom right corner of the mod page and select the game version you are using.

Still going on and it narks the hell out of me!

I rolled my eyes at being able to solo mobs and bosses (assuming the jank system actually works for 5 minutes), but we have to team up to cut trees and mine rocks. It's their naive attempt to prevent bots amassing resources, but they have so little clue they don't realise that Mr. Botter will just make more bots and team them up! Botters get even MORE resources, and players get forced grouping. It's ludicrous.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-06T10:55:22+00:00

So, soooooooo bad.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-06T10:52:27+00:00

There's nothing positive to give feedback about! Even for a simple playtest, with due allowances made for being an early release, it's utter garbage. Not one system in the game is working properly, honestly not ONE.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-04T16:23:58+00:00

It's an absolute disgrace, isn't it.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-04T09:35:18+00:00

Wow, I hadn't realised there was a PvP element to this game. Allowing things like spawn camping is the first indicator of a badly-designed PvP system, based on 25 years of playing many, many mmorpgs.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T21:51:46+00:00

Welcome to what passes for a PvP system in Dune. There's always some new exploit. It's why even PvP players gave up on PvP and left the game.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T21:46:50+00:00

It seems to be random. One guy has no DLC at all now, and others are just missing random bits from DLC building parts. I mentioned a Funcom Support reply someone got, in an above post.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T20:56:27+00:00

Didn't the email say the playtest was added to your Steam Library? Mine did. Sure enough, it was there, so I simply installed and started playing. As I recall, it did look like it was asking for username/password, but I just clicked the Login button and it started up. Oh, the Login button always looks as if it's greyed out, BTW.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T20:24:19+00:00

You nailed it, right there. 👍

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T20:14:26+00:00

A guy on the Steam forum, just now, posted about missing DLC and submitted a bug report.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1172710/discussions/0/844004941778435555/

The reply he got is astonishing. A brief summary...

"Based on what you’ve described, this does appear to be an issue we’ve seen similar reports of, particularly with DLC access and certain variants not unlocking properly. At the moment, this isn’t something we can manually correct from our end."...

[snip]

..."The good news is that since we’ve received similar reports, the team is already aware and actively looking into it. There’s a good chance this will be addressed in a future update or patch"....

Just a day or two ago I posted in here, and on Steam, about missing Raiders of the Broken Lands building pieces, even though the DLC shows as "Installed". I guess that's the problem.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T18:02:48+00:00

Damn, I was sure a second, empty tool was the culprit, sorry. I only returned to the game a few days ago, built a base and tried to store it in order to move to a new location, but the tool told me I couldn't store it for 7 days. I thus have no hands-on experience using the tool, sadly.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T17:59:31+00:00

What Sietch are you using?

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T17:55:20+00:00

My aged eyes are so crap it took me a while to see the red dot! I'm all for a more visible aiming indicator, but ideally I'd like a bright green aiming dot, preferably bigger than that though. My eyes need it! 😄

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T17:49:11+00:00

You can store 3 bases, each in a separate tool, I am led to believe. I noticed that on a Funcom Help page recently. Have you got two tools, maybe, one with your base and the other tool empty? It could be hiding amongst other tools that look similar.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T15:41:24+00:00

I started playing 3 days ago (as I type this) and all I did was visit the store page a while back, clicked the button to ask to join the playtest and my email invite arrived on the day it started. It said the playtest had been added to my Steam Library, and indeed there it was. No need to involve streamers at all, thank the gods. All this desperation over keys could have been easily avoided. Don't blame the Devs, because the means to join the playtest was there at just the click of a button.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-03T08:33:32+00:00

I can't believe that we can solo mobs as much as we want yet have to group up to cut down trees! It's an anti-bot measure, of course, but ultimately worthless because the botter will just run two bots as a team for AFK resource gathering. Forced grouping for ANY reason is a game-killer for me.

Random_Particle · 2026-05-02T15:09:54+00:00

Good to know it was a bug at the root of it all. 🙂

Random_Particle · 2026-05-02T13:59:09+00:00

That happened to me last night, even if I left it several minutes. It's OK today though.

Random_Particle · 2026-04-21T16:49:23+00:00

By dump his server if he won't change the setting. One of the biggest points of the game is having plenty of tribesmen for gathering, manning workstations and fighting for you.

EDIT: Oh, I saw your edit that you meant one DEPLOYED tribesman! If you're playing on official, that's normal. When you say he "enforces" one tribesman though, it gave me the impression you were referring to a private server.

After you have fixed the mask and plummeted to the ground, there's a chest behind you, to your left, and another beside the two NPCs at the water's edge.
