Worst WZ since WZ launched. Movement is back, but the TTK is horrible, rewarding campers and grifters, one shot sniping means that 50% of all teams are sitting on roof tops, and the weapons are so unbalanced that every week has a new totally broken, OP POS weapon ruining the game.

Unplayable and frankly a joke.

Worst game in a while.

First off: for those thinking it's a reboot of the good old Dune RTS series: It's NOT! Not very enjoyable. Lackluster unit variety, extremely slow pace and meh tech trees that don't really feel like meaningful upgrades. All in all a huge dissappointment from a long time Dune fan.

Short review: great simple strategy game, with a good balance of units, without overcomplicating anything. Resource management works well, and is a challenge, without being annoying. The game has waaay too many small bugs, from AI movement and combat being horrible, to glitchy unit icons. Cumbersome gameplay bogged down by these movement bugs, and troops who either stand around getting murdered in a fight, or trying to attack units that make them walk past other enemy units, getting killed on the way.

All in all I've decided to drop the game partly through the campaign, due to too many frustrations.

I'll keep it short: It's a VERY engaging and fun game, but is worth nothing at all, since the end game is unplayable. After countless playthroughs most of them ended with all kingdoms declaring war, leaving my growing but still small kingdom, without chance. Every. Damn. Time.

I'll keep it short: I'm a huge DoW-fan, and this game is just a huge disappointment to me. It's dumbed down, no cover mechanism, simplified loadout configuration and missing the loads of cool kill animations from DoW I & II.

Stick to DoW II, or get something else.

Epic amounts of rubber banding and lag - on official servers. Great job. Uninstalling...

After spending a lot of hours in the game, I have to say that I quit. I've had a LOT of fun, obviously, with the hours I've spent with Conan. But without going on and on about what's actually broken, I will just mention a few things that are more than enough.

1) PvP raiding has gotten crazy easy. It's way too cheap to produce enough raid tools to raid fort knox daily. The larger clans on most servers don't give the smaller, or more casual guys a chance. A weekly wipe will discourage most people.

2) AI. AI has been wonky since its introduction, and continues to be so. Thralls fighting for you often stop following, fall through the ground, teleport around and generally just stare at you, while you're getting ganked. not a great experience. Enemy NPCs and creatures often just stand there all confused, while you tear them a new one. With most patches it seems that AI get a liiiitle bit worse.

3) General bugs and "patches". The game still has a great number of really basic, and hugely annoying bugs. The devs just can't seem to get a handle on these, which is a bad omen for this game. Patches often add a lot of new stuff and features, rarely fix some bugs - and always introduce new and cringy ones.

The ease of rading, glitching, cheating, horrible AI and number of basic bugs just drove me away from Conan Exiles. I've loved the game for a long time, and tried to keep doing so. It has gotten harder and harder, to the point where I feel like I am wasting my time, and wrestling more with frustrations than having fun.

I wish this great concept would be picked up by another dev house. I have zero trust in Funcom anymore.

I find it incredible that it is basically the same engine, but it still keeps crashing randomly, like Godus... I'm really not impressed.
