Why people still play this game ?

[T0dzi]

This game is a nest of bugs. I started a few days ago and I noticed that nothing works correctly, even on a private server running on a high-end PC and a very fast internet connection. Objects disappear, slaves too, fights are crap, purges don't even work properly, animals disappear in front of me etc etc.
I uninstalled, I have other things to do in life.
After years of development, this is unforgivable and betrays a real lack of skills from the developers.
yesterday I tested a purge, the enemies gave up from the start, and the only one where it worked, I had a bug where my entire base disappeared except the walls. WTF.
Let's not even talk about catastrophic AI. My slaves stop mid-attack and allow themselves to be hit. They don't even follow orders properly. Enemy NPCs do anything, sometimes their life bar regenerates fully in the middle of combat etc etc. Not to mention the camera lock, which messes up in the middle of combat and no longer allows me to see what's happening.
I had a lot of problems with inventories, placement of objects, NPCs etc.
Seriously, stop wasting your time with this nonsense, you are encouraging this kind of shameful practice.

Yes Conan Exiles is a bust and the developers only care about money. Not fixing the game. Why do you think they introduced a battle pass which pretty much the entire community was against it? (See funcom forums) But you are acting like this is some sort of special occassion whilst in reality this is pretty much industry standard. I get that it is frustrating to see happen to a game with so much potential. But it is what it is.

Despite this and the many bugs that plague this game (some of which have existed for years such as thralls fighting with their firsts instead of grabbing a weapon) it's still a fun game to chill, roleplay and softcore (non-raiding) pvp. Who are you to tell others what to play?

Who am i ? I am your master, thrall. Now, you can stand here and wait (this is all thralls can do in this wonderfull game)

little corection , they don't care for solo/coop.
only concern for funcom is official servers , and most of time they don't test game even for that , open testing is joke , show off for cc's.
as money goes , it's also joke , one time 10$ bp that hurts ass of most users , optional bazzar with smal number of items with rotation that dosn't even work automaticly thanks to previus monkey working on game that now focus on Dumbe(Dune) , and fanboys thinking it will be any other than conan.

as for why do most people play , it's moddyfications and sentiment , bp helps to with quests and target of aquairing new stuff for additional replay.

So I assume you never give your opinion on anything, kid?

Because people see the build videos all over YouTube and think the building aspects look interesting. But then they join the game to realise that many options to build are all locked behind loads of paywalls.

I'm not defending the Dev's but no game will ever be perfect. Yes it is full of bugs and glitches but that just makes it more challenging. Don't think of the bugs/glitches as bad, think of them as extra challenges and work around them. Some of these bugs will never be fixed (eg Thrall Pots). The game is what it is, and no-one is twisting your arm up your back to play it. Also as an after thought, have you filled out the player survey. The Dev's will take more notice of the survey than what you post here.

I'm really enjoying the game. I only play solo. As far as bugs go and CTDs, it performs a lot better than Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls and other Bugthesda games I have sunk a lot of time into.

The whitelisted role play severs.

I didn't know for the player survey, thank you.

Sounds like you had a very busy "few" days on your private server and private Steam account

you don't answer the question, kid.

What you're describing isn't the standard experience, other than the usual beginner struggles with purge setups. You're having the bad server/bad connection experience. That may not align with your perception of your pc specs or ping, but that's when things pop out of existence. This doesn't happen to me except when my internet is screwy or there's 30 people online weighing down the server.

That is not to say this isn't a buggy, janky game. It's European after all. If you want a well-coded game, you buy a Japanese one. If you want a big budget game, you buy an American one. If you want ambitious ideas and a bold aesthetics that the other 2 won't try but not the coding ability to follow through on it, you get a European game like this one. All the jank here has workarounds you eventually learn that make it tolerable.

We can all easily imagine a better made version of this same game, but so far nobody has made it. At least not without eliminating some of the desirable aspects of this game, whether it's the art style or theme or size or modding community. So we play this.

Absolutely fantastic environments, one of the best game worlds of all time, leveling, grinding, skilling, extensive crafting, fantastic building... I have already leveled up countless characters and built so many beautiful bases. One of the best games of all time for me, that's why I play it again and again.

Thanks :)

We seriously need a new/better Conan game ffs. I've put over 3k hours in this and I don't ever see myself coming back. Too many little annoying things that weigh on you after many hours played.

Every time they add something it just breaks 5 other things. The new fatalities look cool but I've heard people in the testlive say it's poorly implemented. Yes of course....Funcom.

I won't be getting their Dune game either. Unless of course they miraculously make a better performing game. Hope for that is virtually nil however.
