End Game PVE

[Jenshae]

Is there a proper end game yet?

We always found that the game was over very quickly and we were bored. If you weren't a building nut, then all that was left was farming the same easy mobs and bosses.

pve is in nearly every survival game (except 7d2d) boring.
you get to fast everything and you wont lose anything cause you can claim it back.

in CE you need pvp to lose your stuff.
PvP in this game is fine as long you dont get raided. An active pve-c server is more fun than pvp only with raiding.

so yes, pve in this game becomes very fast boring.

battlepass missions , few dungeons , lack of content is strong in exiled lands , even purges sems to not show if you don't have big base.

Conan Exiles wasn't originally designed with "End Game" in mind.
(I realize that's a difficult concept that most seem to have trouble wrapping their heads around). But, that's what "Open Worlds" are all about, right?
But some just had to have it and they got what they wanted.
It just wasn't what they expected. (Be careful what you wish for).

The map itself really isn't that small. It is roughly 25 square miles in size.

I think the next couple updates which will be purge-focused could be considered "endgame" content. My expectation is that amassing more treasure will attract more difficult purges, so you could keep pushing the difficulty upward. But there's probably a ceiling on how good the loot can be, given that the game doesn't have an item randomizer. I've had a thought that removing the ability to repair legendary items may be a step towards permitting legendary items to have random stats in the future, but that's total speculation on my part, they haven't hinted at anything like that yet.

I was thinking, more along the lines of raiding.
They already have an MMO under their belt, so they have a the template for putting together some good team play and making some challenging repeatable encounters.

The last time we played, just three of us, not even healing each other, limited to vanilla stats, gear and one thrall, we each could beat any so called "dragon" or dungeon encounter easily.

yes. find all the artifacts to safely remove your bracelet, pass through the green wall and leave the Exiles Lands.

Doing this will also delete your character

Done.
Don't see the point.
Level up a little faster the next time? You still have all your gear waiting for your new character. Levelling doesn't take long.

You and your friends think it's too easy and boring?
You and your friends haven't discovered the meaning of fear and dread.
That fear you feel when you and your friends hesitate .. knowing that what you're about to face off with can and will certainly kill you. The dread of knowing your precious base is about to come under a purge attack in waves .. that you cannot defeat and you will lose everything to it and either die in the process or stand off at a distance and watch helplessly in fear of being killed in it in trying to intervene.

If you're not too cheap to take a chance, rent your own server.

Most cases, all it cost for a full year in advance is about the cost of 1 week's worth of groceries. Definitely less than one of your car payments (considering today's costs).
(Share the cost of it between your friends if that's what you can agree upon .. which I doubt. You'll find out who your true friends are and you're not going to be happy about it).

Then, tweak your server with custom settings.
Just to wet your appetite, set NPC damage output to 5 and player damage taken to 5.
I can guarantee you that you can make it so suicidal that the only way you can survive is to be in god mode.
You haven't lived until you have lived in fear.
Stop playing Nintendo style.
Let this suffice.

Darn. I missed that.

I dunno? Maybe switch to a pure PVP server for a new challenge or just find a new game as you seem to have exhausted all the content in CE. There are a multitude of zombie/survival games you could try or maybe Funcom's upcoming Dune game. Good luck to you and your friends.

We did host a few and there are some very tactically advantageous places to have multiple bases, losing one doesn't really matter.

Cheers.
We did join a PVP server, however, they dropped gods on us because we were the new outsiders and they had already worked out their own stale politics with each other.
That was when we switched over for a few months of 7 Days to Die because a new major version had come out.
