Comparable to SWG?

[dimmu1313]

So I heard this game has pretty in-depth skill trees and crafting, and that all activities generate XP. I'm wondering if the depth of skills and crafting are at all comparable to Star Wars Galaxies. Yes I understand this game isn't sci-fantasy but I'm talking more about the substance of the RPG/leveling/crafting.

I suppose you mean preNGE SWG because you mention skills. The mechanics and features are not comparable at all. Skills are not indepth at all and crafting is just typical survival game crafting.

The crafting in Conan Exiles is very simple. Put some wood and stone together and you have a wall. There are no different quality resources, just resource nodes you gather from (or kill animals etc). The only difference with other survival games, is that you can use a slave (thrall) to improve your crafting.

And there are only 7 attributes(skills). There are only a few attacks and the attributes just give passive stats. Most players will have very similar builds. Also because 2 out of the 7 attributes are mostly useless.

Resource gathering and progression within crafting is very themepark MMO like in the way it is lineair. No prospecting for resources, they are all in fixed positions and higher tier stuff is in specific biomes.

The crafting is gather resources a, b c, d. Build workstations
workstations turns A B C D into E F G H, build new eapons and armor with new resources. when you level up use workstations to turn E F G H into I J K L repeat until you can build the final form of the workstations which give more room.

Ok wow. Sounds like I dodged a bullet. Reviews of the game made it seem like it would have a lot more depth.

for now you def dodged a bullet. I myself use to play runescape and get addicted to the grind. Conan has IMO a decent addictive grind to it, beyond that this game doesnt offer much. The combat is a massive bugfest with broken hitboxes, enemies turning on a dime, attaclks going through npcs because they are standing under tents, enemies clipping into your character preventing you from dodging or moving at all, items being wasted because of a broken buff system that will not refresh a buff if you attempt to reapply it within 1 second of it about to fall off and 1 second after it falls off. If you attempt to reapply the buff in that window it consumes the item and gives you nothing. I myself have wasted thousands of items because of this. Right now I will never be gifting a copy of this game or purchasing dlc. Maybe if they bring this game out of early access for real but not as it currently stands, even with the 500 bug fix patch.

Unless it's seriously updated graphics and assets I don't think I could bring myself to.

Wish someone would make another MMO like SWG before they ruined it that game was amazing
