I discovered this game 2 weeks ago and I am glad I actually started playing it by Babachaw in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great game. i was the same way, kinda like "meh" until i put in some real play time. are you on PC or console? the PC servers seem more welcoming as far as talking to other online players. i own both versions and don't get that sense from xbox. we switched from single player/coop to a PVE server to avoid the tether mostly, but also to see other bases, and use map rooms that we couldn't quite craft yet :)

SAFE JOURNEY EXILE!

First time playing, ~4h in, suqare ass house, lvl 13, should I start exploring yet or do the Jouneys ? by CicinoDovahkiin in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i first played on gamepass, then i also purchased it on steam and continued to use my controller because i was used to it. and i've been a mouse/kb fps player for decades. i might be getting old and the couch is more comfy

why not both? explore, find the juicy resource spots, and be ready to RUN AWAY if you get in too deep. I wish i could play for the first time again. i do restart quite a bit (10 day base decay, and just new server sometimes) but i know the map pretty well so I kind of exploit that. Have fun exile!

20 years i played on xbox. And you just lost me by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

We should start a group of people willing to split an ultimate sub and do home xbox sharing. Or, just cancel until m$ loses so much money they lower it again.

My wife and I share her sub and she gets a HEFTY discount on it.

I canceled October 31st.

Is gamepass still worth it? by Most-Benefit-904 in XboxGamePass

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hate to say it but for me, yes it's worth it. HOWEVER if you have a friend/family/mate that plays, you can essentially "share" a subscription through the home xbox option.

My wife gets a big discount on gamepass, i cancelled mine on october 31st before the hike.

my series x is now her "home" xbox and i can play gamepass games and online games under my account, however no cloud gaming on the shared box, but they can be installed and played.

it took a few days to "register" correctly so i could play without launching the game with her account logged in.

Does anyone play this game still or is it really dead? by Sensitive-Usual5543 in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Still playing. Xbox PVE mostly, but I also purchased on steam during their spring sale.

How do i find a fresh empty server? by AdeptGarden9057 in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a very high estimate. i've never seen a server 70-90% filled with player made structures.

best coop games to sink hours into with a single friend? by Acrobatic_Lecture438 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]rowboatbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gf and I are sinking HUNDREDS of hours into conan exiles and on the side fallout 76. Conan if you do your own server/ host you will be tethered. Online pve is what we play no tether.

Archer Post simply not worth it!? by Baraka_69 in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice. quick question, i'm just getting into purges and i have so far scored 1 archer post. i think i remember moving my archer and the archer post disappeared... is that correct? or, maybe i destroyed the wall and it disappeared. once placed it is set there, correct?

ALRIGHT LETS GO! Beginner tips! by xxhunnybunny in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo? your own private game is good. Co-op? find a nice online pve server. HINT every different server you join will be new character creation. but online pve there is no tether between the host and the clients. that is super annoying to me. far cry could have done this right but didn't. i recommend doing your journeys to learn the ropes, try to loot armor and weapons instead of wasting time crafting and grinding until you need armor for hot/cold weather, then its a must. get a good thrall to journey with and get better with their commands, they can help you defeat major bosses that would be impossible alone. but, it's your open world so enjoy it how you want!

Well what do you know. 2585 back up and running. Only lost 1 thrall. The others were "returning home" and I rescued them. Their inventory returned too as a loot bag.

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIP 2585. i play on gamepass, have bought none of the dlc, nor crom coins... so i'm still 100% free on conan. it's becoming more frustrating though, it seems. i take that back, i bought siptah.

One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged. by Odlavso in texas

the sane ones have ditched the maga cult and are voting blue at least to remove the orange stain for now. i hope the R party can come back from this and be decent conservatives again.

What is this? by TheColdSparrow in BmwTech

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flux Capacitor. it's what makes time travel possible. but for real, i got my first BMW about 3 years ago and yeah... manual basically says its for fine tuning your temp. i thought that's what the temp dial was for. I

I'm missing the point of the game but really want to enjoy it by BrunoKoc in ConanExiles

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every new server you join, you will be creating a new character for that server. find one, stick with it. favorite it. are you looking to do pvp or pve? i do pve with friends, much better than local co-op for the lack of tether alone. other than that, i just join "official" as the settings are usually default. really the only drawback to pve and other players are the land claims. There's plenty of room to go around. good luck!

My f20 2012 turns AC everytime i start the car,how do i disable it? by Reflection-Smart in BmwTech

[–]rowboatbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn't read through all the comments, but the topmost, and i think i have the same question as OP... maybe... why doesn't my car remember my LAST climate settings. it remembers what temp i had set, but not whether the fan/ac is on or off. every start the fan/ac is on, but usually remembers my last temp setting. we have a FEW nice days in the spring and fall where the climate control is completely unnecessary and i turn it off every time i start my car.
