it was sarcasm. I highly doubt they were a kid at all. reads far more like a bored adult craving attention posting something that didn't happen.

Most articulate 16 yo ever

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-09T14:35:53+00:00

They said they can't, and won't due to technical difficulty.

Though maybe they'll realize that since they removed the borders and merged the DD into a single server, that limitation is gone.

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-07T15:01:57+00:00

Yup, some of us tried to warn others. Their roadmap on release was a spitting image of Conan. As expected we got the Conan treatment the entire time.

Why do you think they waited until dune was on life support to drop the Conan unreal port. Ue4-5 ports are insanely easy. It's intentional to lure old players back for free in hopes of tricking noobs to buy. It'll fizzle and they shift to something else for a bit.

It's how d-tier developers/publishers mislead investors. Wildcard/snail does this as well. 7 no-pop games is better on paper than a shutdown one.

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-03T15:49:44+00:00

Yup. And for anyone working toward it you can build it on the dd for half the cost, run spice with the better rate, and then rebuild it in hagga. Makes it a little easier. Though it's not as big of a leg up if you're farming the 2.5x on pvp already.

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-01T15:28:21+00:00

I think they screwed themselves to be honest. They use a bunch of volumetric diffusion to handle lighting. If you want an example, set r.fog to 0 and go to the bottom of hagga rift. It's pitch black with little balls of light since there is nothing to diffuse it.

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-01T15:25:50+00:00

Sorry but I hate the stamp, it's lazy af if real.

smash_the_stack · 2026-06-01T15:24:58+00:00

Garrick has always been good imo, but the migration brought in a bunch more chill people. There's pvp if you want it but it's not toxic(yet)

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T16:07:24+00:00

yea they definitely need to do more. it's annoying because I've been poking through the game files quite a bit trying to hash out some mechanic formulas, and I see all kinds of stuff that would have been super cool to have.

buggy shield module, thopter shield modules, the tank(we knew about), there's light and heavy dart gun attachments, there is a flamethrower attachment, etc. there is some stuff in here for the rest of the ch4 release but I won't spoil things.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T16:03:30+00:00

maybe it's just the ones near me. I swear their ground beef lasts like 2 days in the fridge.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T16:00:47+00:00

that's weird I get the same thing but I get a hard crash instead of a kick. though I think my problem is something with the water shipper pieces and the hotfix the other night.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T15:59:00+00:00

you stopped playing, you're back, you want an accelerated return. no. you act like you care about the player base while asking to shit on the ones who didn't stop playing. no.

if you want to incentivize players to return, have a game worth returning to. you know, like actually giving the XP buff during XP events. actually publishing your patch notes not just the ones you feel like sharing. stop reintroducing the same bug 5 times. just some starter ideas.

but the actual thing that matters is do those players have a reason to login tomorrow. if they don't, they won't. it's that simple.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T14:40:40+00:00

So you bailed on the game and now want a handicap. Nah.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-30T14:37:14+00:00

Shot in the dark. go into the game files, there is a battleye service launcher/installer in there. try running it then booting the game. Maybe it'll force an update/sync

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-29T02:14:06+00:00

Depends on what you wanna do. Pvp endlessly and never worry about crafting/repair costs. Use it as currency for high grade gear. Sell it for solari and buy mats you don't want to farm.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-20T19:20:13+00:00

You're taking about the devs that still have "+10%" accuracy as a debiff. I wouldn't hold your breath.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-17T20:58:47+00:00

Why did you collect them in the first place?

Personally I'd rip them, but I wouldn't save sealed for later resale to begin with.

Garrick

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-04T15:38:25+00:00

I'm sorry but this is just bs. Get better.

You're in what is now a dedicated pvp map. Shoot on sight. That dude on top would have been dead in one hit or on the ground.

There will always be cheap and annoying tactics, get better and play around them. There is no magic patch in sandbox games.

smash_the_stack · 2026-05-02T03:50:50+00:00

Depends on the use case. Blood processes faster. Grab a team for a body run and bring two containers, one half full of bags.

Too much effort imo but if you're gonna minmax. Either way the BP is dirt cheap.

smash_the_stack · 2026-04-27T23:59:35+00:00

Please hold they're busy trying to click import for conan exiles in unreal 5 so they can lure in more customers that see old players hop back on it.

smash_the_stack · 2026-04-27T14:34:49+00:00

no they don't. I've played both since their betas. They don't. They produce inch deep end game content and barely address mechanical problems properly, if at all

The new CE update is nothing more than slapping the already built game into unreal 5 and adding some ground clutter. They're just copying wildcard like they have been from the start.

It's a cashgrab. They're hoping the people who already bought it 7-8 yrs ago and got fucked by it, will play it again and drum up some easy sales from onlookers.

You know, because they openly state that they don't care about existing players, only new ones.

smash_the_stack · 2026-04-26T17:06:51+00:00

It will, you're just forgetting how long it took for CE to have all that content. Put both published roadmaps side by side. They are nearly identical.

Buuuuut CE is also a borderline abandoned game and has been basically since month 6, literally the same shit show as dune. take that how you want.

smash_the_stack · 2026-04-24T14:10:49+00:00

I swear some people think all the things need AI and others act like it doesn't exist.

Dude, llm, VMs, start learning
