LOVE this game!! playing it is so great

This was my introduction into the survival genre. During my playtime, I was on the winning side on every conflict. This is a bad game.

Conan Exiles, at first glance, appears to be an action-packed swordfighting adventure. After spending 100+ hours on 2 different servers, I can safely claim that it is entirely reduced to roleplaying an RTS worker unit where your sole mission is to produce an immense amount of explosives in your fortified underground vault.

In order to start your bomb factory, you need to level up, and to do that you'll have to run from every conflict that doesn't involve your 'Journey' system. Journies are character-specific Achievements that yield a great amount of exp for doing tasks the developers thought would help you learn the game. If you get sick (or run out of) of Journies, you run to the expansion Northlands (the other zones are outdated and inefficient) and kill Nord NPCs for their steel to reinforce your future bunker. Once you've cheesed the AI of the big bad Knight King NPC of the North and learned the endgame armor set, you're ready to farm 24/7 for specific bomb materials so you can finally see what's inside other players bases.

Do not be fooled, there is little to no swordplay (the only reason you might do it is to fend people off from your bombs at the base of their tower). Every NPC can be ignored by running away. The fun to be had in this game consists of the weak-willed crybabies in global chat who were completely tricked into playing this awful, hack of a game.

PROS:
Good graphics and cool art design
Explosions are satisfying to watch
You can spend 1000 hours building a castle
FUN WITH FRIENDS LOL

CONS:
Bugs in every aspect of gameplay
Little to no PvP; combat consists of running away, and crafting bombs for later
PvE's difficulty comes from sheer health pools on monsters that can barely hurt you
Too many servers spreading out population
Low server cap leads to barren world

game was ruined instantly after first month

you dont need a leveling system to make people play LOL
