It's weird. Conan the Barbarian is a very popular film that I know a lot of people on this site love, and yet I have never seen a single person talk about Conan Exiles. An actual Conan game of all things was released in a time where there are practically no licensed games outside of mobile, and it was basically completely ignored. Why do you suppose that is?

Where were you on public launch day?

it's a boring game in a saturated and dated genre

If you don't play as Conan then I don't care. Also the two movies with Arnold are good (the first one is elder god tier) and the Mamoa one is okay but the novels by Howard and a lot of the ones onward are really fucking good, along with the old Marvel comics. I know they're doing a new run of Conan but I'm not interested in current Marvel shlock.

>If you don't play as Conan then I don't care.
Isn't that him on the box art?

Yeah but I don't know if you play as him

People talked about it for weeks when it first came out. Everyone agreed it was buggy and unfinished in its current state, but it had a ton of potential if they get it right. That was around 2 years ago now. How is the game doing currently?

The playerbase numbers looks healthy.

That's strange. Why wouldn't you play as the character on the box art?

He's in the game as an NPC and you can speak with him but you make your own character.

oh is this after he becomes king of Aquilonia?

Bitch you wernt here for Conan exiles Yea Forums server at release?
We had autists separate into 2 tribes and build mega fortresses within arrow distance of each other.
Shit was buggy as fuck but fun.
>tfw you will never run THE TRIAL again

Is there still a Yea Forums server?

Pootos buttbutt wopodump

I don't ever remember 'combo skipping' in any Conan franchise. How can you expect me to take this game serious when the devs don't?

lol no people lost interest.

you dont play as conan.
its an mmo-survival game. an opening cinematic has a silent conan cut you free and then bam. your a custom made char

Conan Exiles is kind of an odd game.

The building part is really good, and mods that increase the ability to place/overlap things kicks up over the edge, it's really great in that regard, you can build awesome castles and shit.

But the base game is just sort of limited. There's very little to do, the map isn't particularly big, with the main limiting factor being that you have to move across it on foot at one speed and are constantly bothered by mobs along the way.

It's a server survival game, which I guess has it's audience as a genre, but Conan is one of the smaller games in that aspect.

It really could have been great, and I guess it might be if you play on a server and make friends and stuff. I know tons of of people in streaming who love the RP servers and stuff.

I dunno, I had fun for a little while collecting trophies and building a big castle, but then got bored.

the games.... okay. awesome if you have friends. I am personally a survival game fan and i got my 100+ hours from it. but i am an addict lol.

released from Early Access hell as a "finished product" full of bugs, incomplete features and plagued with server issues.

no real reference to Conan lore except the gods and some race names. to be fair, i have only seen the first 2 movies with Arnold. not a big conan dude

Since it's server based can you pirate the game and play it with other people who have pirated it or does it not work like that?

I don't know, I got the game on Humble monthly and only ever played single player.

it was decently popular here when it first came out. there were a couple /vg/ servers that were active up until last summer. it's not a bad game, but it's not really a great conan game either. it's a pretty good survival crafting game first and foremost with a bit of a conan veneer on top. I think the biggest detractor from it being a good conan game is the fact that it doesn't take place in hyboria. sure there are cimmerians and shemites and stygians, but they're all on a largely empty landmass not connected to any of the stories we like. I know it would have been impossible for them to do a game like this that covered all of hyboria, but they could have had it take place in one of the kingdoms
I haven't played since late last summer myself, but when I played there were hints of a good game but they just weren't fleshed out. the world was nice to explore, and the bits of lore they did have were nice, but there just wasn't enough there. there was only one neutral settlement, and you could barely do anything there. you went there and saw conan sit around doing absolutely nothing, then you went around and knocked unconscious any good potential thralls and dragged them back to your base. I get that it's a crafting game and they want a blank slate for people to build their bases on, but I think it needed something more.

Two threads in two days. I know the game is free on steam but this is unusual. Just in case this is a shill thread I'll spit some truth about this shit.

PvE is shallow, incomplete and the part of it that is supposed to be the biggest threat to you (the 'purges' that attack your base) are either:
>Boring
>Janky
>Fail to function properly.
Pick two.

PvP is crap. The combat system is alright and shit but raiding is just grinding and then going and doing something tedious and just like every other game ever made in this mold it's 90% returning to a server to find your whole base was fucked while you weren't logged in OR leaving someone else with that same situation. God forbid you catch the attention of some group of 10 to 15 fuckers who're all liplocked on an admins cock and built their base in a spot purges don't reach and explosives wont properly work. The problem isn't the game's fault at times, its the people.

That said, the game CAN be cool for building comfy homes. Just don't count on doing it in multiplayer. Like all games of this type PvE servers are often incredibly laggy and PvP will punish the shit out of anything nice looking that doesn't have an admin threatening to ban people for ruining.

I'd love the game more for the comfy if the co-op private worlds didn't have a retarded tether limiting having fun with just your buds.

These devs would rather reskin the top tier building materials and resell them over and over than try to really make this game exceptional. I feel strongly that the only reason the most recent patch had so many actual positive changes is because they're hoping the game snags some of the people who try it free who don't realize the game doesn't have any meat on its bones.

It was another early access survival game in an era that early access survival games were being pushed out every other week. And it was more "early" than most others. There was very little content at the start so it didn't compare to its competition. It's a lot better now, but the fad's passed and ultimately the gameplay boils down to tedium. I only have 100 hours in it and I can't find the will to play it again. I've done everything there is to do. I've built a castle full of named thralls. I've done all the dungeons. I've fought other starmetal. I've destroyed other players' bases.

Two threads in two days for a game that's free is unusual? Meanwhile Pokemon gets dozens of threads every day? Holy shit dude. It may be crap but you are a paranoid fucker.

This game is just so short on content that it feels weird to see it get attention. I don't even hate the game, I just can't deny its crap.

Shill thread or no, I'd like to warn people to avoid spending money wastefully.

You fags wouldn't shut up about the open world survival meme at early access launch throwin' around quote brackets like you were fuckin' voltaire talking about the HRE.

I just chill by myself and build shit now. You faggots aren't worth me dropping or changing my modlist either so I'll stick to my singleplayer.

Well since it's free people can literally try it for themselves without having to waste money.

I just don't think it's all that strange that a few people on Yea Forums, one of the most active boards on Yea Forums, would have noticed the game is having a free weekend and decided to ask Yea Forums about it. Especially since everyone uses Steam.

It's an alright game, but actually it's just an Ark survival crafting formula game. Not that important.

>I just chill by myself and build shit now
This is the worst part. It takes hours and hours of hitting rocks just to get the stone for something like in that screenshot

wtf are you talking about? I remember playing a conan mmo years before this and it was trash too. at the end of the day the game is just a bog standard survival game so nobody cares

Like I said man. Same devs who think that selling their Tier 3 building materials reskinned over and over is a great idea for DLC content, even when the game itself had huge parts of its basic content that was unfinished or didn't work. I can't help but find myself thinking that a free weekend to fight back against the game dying would be the perfect time to shill.

Even on sale the purchase is a risky one. Like No Man's Sky. If you do buy into that shit you buy into it having to understand it's probably never gonna be as good as it could have or should have been.

Conan Exiles was ruined by the fact that the game encourages griefing to the point of 1 clan lording over an otherwise dead server on every server. It turns people into sociopaths and you wait until PVP hours start when a competing clan isn't online and then destroy all their work in a matter of minutes and reduce them to starting from scratch. Nobody really likes that shit, they just leave the server, either they find their own dead server to lord over or they quit playing entirely Then the PVE servers where a clan uses the fact that nobody CAN attack them to make sandstone roads linking all their bases and claiming most the map and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I've never seen a game's COMMUNITY ruin a game so fast.

I like the base user. Respect.

I modded my game so many the singleplayer grind reasonable. It's reasonable enough I guess.

Too true. The game made it just so fucking easy for people to be the worst human beings imaginable. Worse then the shit you find in Rust.

In comparison to Ark I like it a lot mainly because Ark runs like ass.

barbarism is the natural state of mankind. the game is just faithfully adapting robert howard's correct view of the world
:^)

That sounds a lot like an old game I used to play called Starport. Anyone remember that game?

Mods, nigga. I still even run at 1x gathering rates. But having crafting recipes that are balanced for actual single-person play make a huge difference.

We have such sights to show you.

>Same devs who think that selling their Tier 3 building materials reskinned over and over is a great idea for DLC content,
This user is literally seething that they sold cosmetic DLC.

Neat base, user. Just wish NPC's would properly populate them rather than having blank fucking thralls drone around like zombies.

Can I mod the came so I can make a harem of cute traps?

It uses steamworks.

in a game where the main draw is building pretty buildings and the base game has almost no variety
I'd say it's warranted

The circular structure. Oh man. I remember the day I realized I could do that effectively. I spent so much time experimenting. Building was definitely the star of this particular show.

It hurts they didn't have some system in place to allow you to set thralls to patrols or to make your thralls interact with the base a bit more. Like, if my guard thralls actually sat in chairs at tables and shit. It would have made the comfy factor skyrocket to make it look like your little hamlet was in use.

Kind of fits with the Lore doesn't it

We're in the era of continuously updated games so if they cared the game could easily still have it but it seems they don't care.

I'll admit to it. We waited 4 months for a fix that made it so that entire bases wouldn't randomly vanish due to servers not properly saving during restarts and they sold us reskin DLCs in that time instead. It stung. Made hanging in there for these guys hard.

Was even more brutal because twice they announced it fixed and it wasn't.

I'd be so cool with the devs proving this wrong. Sucks how unlikely it is.

Show me a closeup of your character, she looks cute.

I suppose it's also possible that someone could make mods but that would be a pretty complicated mod to make.

I've seen shit like people building traps around the obelisks so when they ported in they couldn't get out and died.

Now on private servers you CAN harbor a good community where people have open map rooms and the like, but problem is you'll have maybe 5 people on simultaneously at any time, it's just dead.

The game would be fun if the community weren't so shit, if people had the respect to NOT destroy someone's base if there was nobody online to defend it, etc. Last time I played I thought the other clan on the server was cool, they were leaving us alone but it turns out they were just giving us 2 weeks before they obliterated us with stockpiled explosives they'd been saving up for months since they had chased off all the other clans on the server. Not only did they do that but they waited for a night when none of us were able to log on during PVP hours like we were an hour late logging on and the first guy say he logged in dead in the desert and he swore he had logged off in the base, he got back and saw that our entire base was getting cleaned out. Really, waiting until there was nobody to defend to pull that shit how big of bitches do you have to be?

While this is a dick move I'll admit that the mindgame aspect of this sounds really fun.

>Silent Conan
Did you even play the game after the updates a year ago? He's voiced. In fact the entire game is an example of the only survival game done right in my opinion.

I don't have a picture of my castle, but it was like, way too big and not in a particularly great location (it overlooked the big Norse city), but I stopped working on it when I realized that even with mods I couldn't have my map room on the top floor and cover it with a ceiling, there was just no way to support it.

Arms seem a little long but pretty cute otherwise.

>He's voiced.
Did they get Arnold or are they lame?

sure? But what good is that if you have a fucking empty server. Sure you can kill a few new players from time to time but that's gotta be boring as fuck, logging in day after day to nobody on but you and maybe 1 other clanmate farming mats to instantly wipe the next hapless clan to show up on the server.


I mean we wanted PVP wars but we wanted to be on to defend, and we wanted to have it be drawn out, if they just raided for any treasure and took out our mats and any high end gear they found laying in chests and left most the base intact so we just had to patch up and try to get them back that's one thing.

But when they destroy everything in the base, all the crafting stations, all the foundations so the whole thing crumbles.. you can't just get bakc up from that, you might as well leave and start on a new server hoping the community is better. Eventually you give up because you realize every server is this shit. Spics or Russians or Chinks who wipe you when you're offline.

Lame.

If you think so you'll just end up lording over a dead server. How fun is that? Last I checked that server it's fucking dead. Empty except for that clan. They probably log on once or twice a week to see if anyone else has come onto their server. Then more of their members will become active again I bet.

If they log on so rarely wouldn't it be easy to just gradually destroy their shit?

Conan is also in the game, there is a quest that allows you to leave the exiled lands, you run into him while doing it.

the sex mods are pretty good.

Whether trap mods exist, idk, but sex mods exist, and modding exist, so yes

wrong unless they changed it, you could actually build wedge foundations on top of the map itself.. it blocked off some of the view but you could support a roof adequately. I used to make little waystation towers that had a maproom on the bottom floor and a wheel of pain on the second floor

Not when they have volcano archers and warrior thralls in high end gear and weapons

Like when they destroyed us.. we were just getting started on capturing thrall defenders. Theres have been set up for months.

What would a trap mod even entail?

Why do all of you seem to play as girls? I thought Conan was about manly men.

What a Shame the Conan Universe doesn't get as much love. A unique setting focusing on bronze age, pre-medieval civilizations where slavery and sacrifice to Gods and to fuel magic was common. Beats the fuck out of generic LotR clones we see time and time again.

it's all about manly men and sexy (and sometimes strong) women, so it's still fitting. also that isn't a picture of user's character, but a dancer thrall he captured.

I love the game, but I also got bored of it once I established my base. What turned me off more than anything was the rubberbanding enemies. Really took me out of the game.

.... user. That's a dancer thrall, an NPC. We put them in map rooms to clear corruption from fast traveling to obelisks.

However I did play a female character for one reason. When you die, you were naked, and I mean balls dangling in your face while you're climbing naked. Is that what you want when playing a manly man? To see your character's nutsack in your face when you climb?

What the fuck this games needs 60 fucking gigs for holy shit

only 9 more years until conan is in the public domain. surely hyboria will get some more love then

Faggots insecure about their sexuality who keep bringing M-MUH MAN ASS as an excuse meanwhile most normal people play as a strong Cimmerian or Nordheimer barbarian man with a bunch of big titted thrall servants.

>yet another shitty open world survival game
>ooh but this one has tiddies

Yawn.

the difference is in most games you don't actually see man ass, it's covered man ass. In this game you see man ass, bare man ass, with dangling nutsack to boot.
The game has an "endowment" slider FFS.

>The game has an "endowment" slider FFS.
What does it do for girls?

I hope. I'd shit myself to see a proper Conan rpg that isn't survival crafting shit. All the unique bronze age civilizations explored through weaponry or the intricate magic rituals used to contact the outer Void.

tit size obviously

you can give yourself tits so large you can see them from behind.

It was made during a fad, and it was great during that time.
But like the fad, it passed. Survival games went through it's peak by the time this was out.

conan exiles RP is comfy

Well Rust had tiddies but they were unobtainable.

I feel like the entire RP would just be everyone looking for an excuse to use the "What is best in life?" line.

Cause you weren't looking at Yea Forums when it launched or for the few weeks after? It was discussed quite a bit for a while.

Can this be played alone? Is it weird I want to play sandbox mmo games alone?

Attached: 1342483962106.jpg (300x300, 20K)

For building yes. For the horrible bosses and dungeons that require an absurd amount of prep time and resources to not die? Absolutely not. Unless you run a private singleplayer world and fuck with the sliders to make that shit somewhat doable.

yeah. when you play singleplayer you run a local server, so you may get a bit worse performance than if you joined a good server. or you could join a server and just play by yourself in a random corner of the map. that's what I did when I played
also boss health doesn't scale and it assumes you're in a group, so you should either overlevel and abuse mechanics or use a mod to scale it for singleplayer if you're going that route

It can. You should include mods that work to reduce crafting costs of stuff to a level that respects the time of a single person. The game is built assuming you're probably working with the combined effort of a few people and shit takes fucking ages alone. The gameplay loop itself isn't entirely awful, but it'll be a shitload of running back and forth.

On that same note, there are also mods that bring boss health down to a level where encounters can be beaten without cheese by a singular person. Personally, I use a mod that rescales boss fights to levels meant for 2-3 people in order to keep them reasonably tough investments.

The best way to rescale the bosses is a mod, in my opinion, because then you don't have to fuck with sliders to the degree that no normal enemies can pose a threat to you just so that you can fairly square with a boss. There are simple health reduction mods that do the trick just fine.

The Elder Scrolls is basically the same kind of game and those games are famously singleplayer, I wouldn't feel bad about it.

So what kind of game should one based around playing as Conan be?

RPG?
Souls type?
Action RPG?
God of War?
Tomb Raider?

RPG, we should see the uniqueness of Conan's world with all the civilizations of the Shemites, Picts, Hyborians, Hyrakanians, Zamorians etc. You wont see that shit in any of those other genres you listed.

Heavy Armor, Axe and shield. Swords are kinda poopy, the axe is your best friend and will make you feel like a barbarian.

Tomb Raider could be a good fit.
Conan basically raids new and interesting places for loot whenever he's not commanding an army or opining on the nature of man over wine.

Conan isn't medieval you fucking idiot.

There's no full nudity in the NA version so that's like half the playerbase gone.

Got about 600 hours put into the game if anyone has questions. The game sank after the initial 1.5 million copies sold down to an average playerbase of about 5k people due to it being a buggy unfinished mess despite having a lengthy early access period AND a testlive server.

If you're wondering whether or not they've fixed the core issues in the game years later, no. They've definitely made a lot of improvements and if you play it as a pve experience with some friends, it's a lot of fun and I can say with relative confidence you'll get your money's worth.

If you're wondering if it's worth it for the full PvE/PvP combo and whether or not the devs are going to unfuck the title at any point, I'll remind you it's developed by Funcom so expressing any kind of hope or optimism is proof that you are a moron.

Strength, courage and will to kill your enemies at birth. I just said what he gives.

Since this is Funcom I have a feeling this game will eventually go completely free to play once the playerbase has dwindled far enough and they start to get desperate, just like The Secret World did.

Incidentally I just googled Funcom to make sure they were who I was thinking of and I found this:

Thoughts?

he has no benefit in the game

how can it go f2p when its not a mmo. A lot of people just play solo pve. Its a normal release game.
So far all expansions have been free and the dlc is cosmetic.

Anyone read the old Marvel Conan comics? I've been going through them and they're great. Whenever he and Red Sonja have met up they've fucked and killed and it's a fun time. Not as good as the novels but pretty high tier.

Plenty of single player games go free to play, especially if they have an online component they need players for. They keep the DLC paid so they can continue to make money but make the game free so that it can actually have a playerbase.

Will they finally stop being retarded after this final lifeline or will they fuck it up?

Only time will tell desu

I don't understand how they've been so retarded when they have access to a really good IP that they can turn into a Witcher style series. Nothing else exists like Conan.

People like the Hyborian setting more than Conan. But even if you liked Conan more: he's an NPC in this game. The Conan franchise really should've just been adapted to a good RPG instead of aping the current trend.

To be fair Funcom is no CDPR and a Rust clone is way easier to make than a Witcher game.

They just don't have anything in the way of good upper management. They're going to sit on the IP until they can't anymore.

The only thing I remember about AoC was that it was considered extremely controversial for having titties.

>People like the Hyborian setting more than Conan
I doubt that, Hyboria serves only as a vessel for Conan and his stories and while it's a cool place, it's really only cool because we're seeing it through the ultimate badass that is Conan.

Axe is the coolest shit. Also good news - with the most recent patch javelins fuckin' stack again. That shit is what's up.

I repeat conans opening line in this when I do heavy weightlifting.
It gives me great stength.

How times have changed. Now things are controversial for NOT having titties.

I use the opening line from Goodfellas.

How do the servers work? 1 character per server? Any fun solo? Is PVP any good or just a gangbang spamming left click or is there actual nuance to the combat?
Whats the worst part about it besides some annoying bugs?
Whats the best?

They've also been in serious financial trouble the past few years. CE was their hail mary shot before closing and it's done so well that not only did it pay for itself in the first year, this past year has been their best ever as a company.

Unironic boomers like conan. Most people 16-25 have probably never seen the conan movie.

Can I fuck people?

Will they make an actual serious Conan rpg game and not squander this second chance given to them? Survival crafting is fun but the shtick gets old fast.

Shame they have shit taste

Go play your sòytendo anime garbage. Conan is for real men and particians.

Which makes it all the more strange that anyone is saying "people are tired of this genre."

Survival games, capeshit, battle royales... lately it's looking like every genre that achieves mega-popularity retains that popularity. I don't know what changed in the mindset of gamers that they don't get bored and move on to the next big thing, but instead stay liking one thing and then add other things on top of that thing. But something changed and it's here to stay.

Recipes mod on steam.

to be honest as a fan of the original books I don't think the movie is that great. the soundtrack is 10/10 and the movie wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't really conan. shame that's what people think of when they think of conan

I'm 25 and you can watch conan the barbarian on youtube right now for free

It's a decent open world survival crafting shit
BUT
It's so god damn awfully optimized that I just CANNOT understand how they managed to make it run so fucking abysmally.

They've got a single-player conan game in the early stages of development, but other than it being in the design stages there's no other info. Most recent news is more about the deal they signed to make/publish a couple Dune games over the next 6 years.

This is actually the second time they've escaped bankruptcy and it doesn't look like they've learned their lesson

I feel the opposite, that Conan is the means to explore Hyboria an antediluvian pre-ice age world that itself was borne out of cataclysmic planet shifting event.
When you read the Hyborian Age it tells how the world had cultures with basically medieval levels of development thousands of years before Conan's time, then earthquake, volcano and tsunami changed the entire world leaving scattered survivors to resettle and redevelop from hunter gatherers into a bronze age equivalent world.

I have my own idea for a barbarian rpg. It would be like nothing anyone has ever played.

Exactly what I said.

It means he is an ideas guy that thinks up crazy games while taking a shit

Arcos the Wanderer lays it all out for you right on noob river: Lemurians, Giant Kings, Khari, Valusian Serpent Men. Toss in a healthy dose of good old fashioned demons and some Jhebbal Sag manbeasts and you've got yourself the exile lands.

Lemurians and Giant Kings are the same thing.

in fact severance is a pretty good replacement for Conan

I played the MMO for a bit and enjoyed it somewhat but I hate MMO's and have commitment problems so I didn't get to endgame
really hoping for a good singleplayer game, always loved the setting

then what's book conan like? and comparing him to the whole series is kind of unfair since Conan is seeing all of his development in the first movie, so I don't see how dramatically different he could be in the first few novels
not saying you're doing that but how different is he in the initial few novels?

I only partially agree, I think Dino got a good feel for Hyboria and Conan but he didn't do much with his characterization past the exposition. Still a god tier movie for Conan though, I love it.

>Action rpg a la Severance: Blade of Darkness

I'm salivating already

Talking exposition ghosts in a broken Ark clone wasn't what I had in mind.

He's a god damn philosopher in the novels.
Any time he isn't treasure hunting or exhausted and dying but also decapitating motherfuckers left and right, he's relaxing over a pitcher of wine and ranting about manhood or rulership or honor or what have you.
He doesn't get character development, he's already the perfect specimen page one, paragraph one.

That might sound mary sue, and that's correct. Howard was a suicidal basement dweller writing penny dreadfuls to pay for the care of his sick mother, and his escapist fantasies reflect that. Just so happens Howard was a good enough writer to make it work.

I wouldn't really call Conan that much of a Mary Sue. He get's his ass kicked multiple times with unbelievable injuries from magic and monster yet the will of Crom is what keeps him from not dying to his wounds all the time.

I thought it was the post-Atlantis age, pre-Ice age. Plus isn't all magic just ayy tech? I remember in one of the older comics there was a wizard torturing an elephant headed Ayy for more magic or some shit. Plus isn't all the lovecraft mythos canon because the author was BFFs with lovecraft and used some of lovecraft's stuff for his stories?

Conan being a Mary Sue plays to his strengths of a character, that's true, and it's because he still fails all the time and has actual real fears of the unknown. So it's a bit more nuanced then that.
Truth

He has a bad habit in the novels of slipping kek

Getting his ass kicked and surviving through determination and grit is part of the power fantasy, though.
It's like the male equivalent of "her flaw is that everyone likes her too much and they get SO jealous!"

Howard was a fucking genius and makes it work, but still.

Magic isn't ayy technology related at all. It's void outerworld fuckery that you can channel into the real world through ritual and sacrifice. Old serpent Set is the easiest way to Magic shit though if you're a smart enough sorcerer you can find even more powerful void creatures to learn from.

Friendly reminder that Xuthal of the Dusk has a stygian chick get tentacle-raped to mindbreak and then eaten by a shapeless horror.

If anyone here hasn't read Howards Conan, and the Marvel Comics, and the other novels, as well as the Arnold movies you're missing out. Great fucking character tied to a great fucking world. They compliment each other so fucking well. I'm fully admitting I'm heavily biased but fuck. Conan is so cool. This isn't even taking into account the themes of freedom vs societal restrictions or reliance on a higher power vs freewill, or disregarding superstition, etc.

Conan universe is one of my favorite top 3 universes. Funcom has no idea how to capitalize on the Conan IP.

Everything about that universe is about Conan, otherwise it's just a dirty low fantasy desert environment with no real identity.
And now they're making some RTS game, again without any real identity.

So does the single player of this game have a storyline you can play start to finish? Or is it just some open ended emergent gameplay crap.

Irrelevent strawman but you are still wrong since Cimmerians are ascending from stone age culture. The setting is around 50k years ago when around modern man appeared. The fact they know how to make steel makes them advanced. Since the world is pre-bronze age.

I just run around as hot stygian chick with big titties.

Still looking for a reply, there's got to be at least one of you in the know.

What does Stygian mean in the Conan universe? I usually associate that word with hellspawn.

>Why do you suppose that is?

Because it's not a conan game, it's a stupid faggot Rust agme

Its the Conan equivalent of Egyptian. They are ancient Egyptian ancestors.

How does public domain work? Like if something is old enough, even if people hold the rights to it previously, eventually it just becomes something everyone has the rights to?

Sexiles hasn't been updated in months and I can't recall the last time any new features were added to it, if ever.

If you've played it within the last year then it's probably still the same limited set of animations you can squeeze one out to on a lovely night.

>Sexiles hasn't been updated in months
Does it still work? All that matters really.

You're wrong again. The fact that no one knows how to make steel after them for a few thousand means that they either died out or lost the knowledge while assimilating with other people is the final decention from Atlantian to bronze age man.

Reading the newest comments on the mod page and it seems it doesn't work anymore. So RIP everything. I wonder if they'll ever even update it again.

Nope wrong again retarded fuck.
Firstly you don't understand metaphor because you are an actual autist.

secondly the Cimmerians ascended from stone age tech they had lost all history and culture from their atlantean ancestors.

The point you can't grasp is that steel forging, Crom and Conans hatred of magic are metaphors for modern man. Literally in a sense Conan is not a barbarian since he more modern than thise around him. Finally the time period is exactly at the emergeance of modern man.
So Conan is symbolic of modern rational man.
Its got nothing to do with atlantis

>Conan fanfiction
Do share.

>Cimmerians descended from Atlantean refugees
>Lose all their knowledge and culture and are reduced to stone age before working their way up again.
Hes right you are an idiot. Your own argument is that they degenerated from atlantis but they then started climbing back up the development tree.
So you are wrong.

When a property expires anyone can use it however they want, hence why there's so many bumper stickers of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes pissing on car brands or presidents. It doesn't have to be old either, someone can intentionally make something public domain although there's zero money in that so naturally it doesn't happen often.
Keep in mind the length has been extended to something retarded like ~`250 years thanks to Disney so don't expect and new public domain works anytime soon.

Just like a straw man is a metaphor for you not having a brain.

Conan isnt public domain its like lovecraft and tolkien its owned by an estate.

It's basically Conan meets a woman whom he sees a part of himself in, and he takes her as an apprentice of sorts. They have the same general ideals but have different methods and a few core incompatibilities that make things exciting.

I second this, well worth reading if you have even the slightest interest in anything that's inspired by it, the list of which is innumerable. The mixture of horror and fantasy in a lot of the stories is excellent.

Conan exiles is a great game, it had a ton of interest on launch but they fucked it up and lost steam due to lots of broken patches.

more people gave up and quit after each broken patch, wipes didn't help either

The greatest tragedy is that Age of Conan was actually a decent MMO. It was fun, but stillborn, so the community wasn't there. The actual game world, combat, storylines, and trade skills were WAY better than WoW. I was sad when I got to max level solo and couldnt find anyone to do end game stuff with. I miss that game.

If you have infinite time and literally nothing else to do with your life.

Its not that hard. Once you progress in the tech tree and build a little base its a blast.
Basically what i did was keep migrating to more efficient resource spots and building better bases everytime.

We made our base near where the three rivers in the middle desert area meet and that had enough iron/coal. I guess the problem is now that I'm back to solo play it's turning into a bigger grind. 500 stone isn't that big of a deal when you have 2-3 people with iron tools but if you're alone and have to get that plus 300 something wood, who knows how much fiber for twine and then some other stuff the game gets a bit slower.

everytime you go up in tech it gets easier. At hardened steel you can start doing challenging things around the world.
Then it sort of snowballs from there and you are drowning in loot.

I rated this game 10/10 ,when my clan was the alpha, then I rated it 1/10 when we got wiped.
More seriously I'm looking foward to that single player Conan game before Funcom jumps ships with Dune

You have clearly never read Conan comics. All the women are sexy bitches wearing almost nothing.

>people play pvp
>get griefed
>cry about the game
well no shit. Pve is better. You have to organise pvp for it to work.

Also building systems in these games are always trash, the most viable buildings are always some form of commieblock rectangle with as many walls between the outer perimeter and the center as possible.

They sell you on the idea of great sieges on player castles but nobody builds like that because building pic related would be extraordinarily inefficient. Some Russian would just glitch his way through the walls, or instabuild shitty wooden temporary scaffolding to get up, or simply climb right over the walls (pick one or more depending on what Ark/Rust clone you're playing). It's literally the "Y Online: THIS COULD BE YOU" genre, just replace "YOU" with "YOUR CASTLE/BASE/CLAN/KINGDOM", and then in the game you end up with a box with no windows rather than pic related.

That just removed 75% of the promised appeal of the genre then. As bad as they do PvP, PvE is done just as bad if not worse.

Its sad people are too autistic to form rp pve adventure groups or have clean rp server wars

The Conan stories take place way before Stone Age. Somewhere like 120 000 B.C. few thousand years after the sinking of Atlantis

This the game had horrible PvP because devs refused to fix their game. Only servers with active admins who banned greifers had good PvP.

It's actually really fun and good unlike Rust. It has fucktons of Conan lore in it too.

Yeah, I think I would want that too, just pve gangs exploring the world. Porn mods optional.

Because its another generic rust clone at the end of the day.

Titties was an appeal of this to begin with. I heard that chinks were a problem tho.

reminds me of my days playing ark on official clan servers. I'd put all my points into melee damage and speed so I could run around geared players at light speed, knock them out with a club, then drag them into the ocean and feed them to sharks and shit.

It really depoends onthe book tough. In some stories he's a fucking pirate who jhust shittalks everythin,g in others he's a thief just trying to get to the next day, and yes, in some he's the warrior monk type, killing but always having wise words afterwards. There isn't any real consistency and he is what the story needs him to be.

You actually can do this.

I suppose. Either with porn mods or just with chat rp.

Yes
Funcom handed out the files for dedicated servers, so one person has to run that on their computer. Everyone else connects direct through IP.
But the game is like 60 gigabytes, more if you get a torrent with mods.
Good luck finding friends willing to sink that much of their hard drive for it.

When you're talking about 5 friends, one of them probably has a shitty school laptop with no GPU.

I would love to play an action game as Conan with all the gore and titties intact. I've played Conan Exiles and the survival focus is just annoying.

Oh shit, you can summon gods in this game? That's pretty sweet.

(Are there any goddesses?)

>laptop

Yeah go back playing candy crash.

Can someone who has played the game help with something?

I am trying the free weekend with friends, we all just started and somehow my friend was able to fast travel us to key points on the map. They went to bed and I'm trying a solo character but I'm unable to fast travel like he did. Googling it says you need some latergame map room but he was fast traveling us at the beginning. If anyone knows how this works it would be greatly appreciated.

thats a secret :)

Your friend was hacking mate. The only way to fast travel in the game is from constructed giant map rooms, and only to obelisks you personally have found in the world. And once there, you have to run back all the way to your base where the map room is, unless you have another map room there, which are expensive to build.

Your friend is 100% cheating.

Yeah that is a pain in the ass with PVP is that you need to build really uninteresting buildings with tons of honeycombing, half of these "nice" looking castles wouldn't last 15 minutes to a sustained PVP attack.

>go on PVE server
>literally everywhere is claimed and there are sandstone "roads" linking 1 base to another cutting off massive swaths of the entire game
>Hardly any mobs even spawn because of the claiming system preventing mobs and resources from spawning.
Yeah full PVE servers are where it's at alright.

The scope would be too big but if anyone would do this it would be day buy 1 buy for me.

I pray to the PC, he is masterrace and high on his free multiplayer. After I quit the hobby he will ask me what is the riddle of vidya, if I can't answer him he will cast me into normiedom.

Do you mean the chronicles of conan?
I have half the series, still looking for the other half which are out of print.

It's all cosmetic so you could indeed just mod it in, not sure who they think they're fooling.

He gets captured by his enemies often enough in the comics as well but generally women who fall for his chadness save him.

Crom hates weak faggots and doesn't stoop to bribery for worship like Set, Mitra and Yog do. Worship him and get the strength to survive, courage to fight and ironwill determination to slay your enemies.

Its the old 80's version of magic where magic and technology are basically the same, it just depends on the person that perceives it.

It's funny how the games with mixed reception turn out to be the most interesting. The flaws add character. I'd rather something take risks and fail than play it safe and be boring.

Is it just me or is Crom basically just the Christian God?

There's no technology in Conan dummy. And this isn't "80's magic" it's genuine ritual magic, not generic DnD garbage.

>have a higher end PC, game stutters occasionally when loading the game
>install a couple mods
>now my character phases forwards and backwards and the game crashed twice
But why

Nah Mitra is literally the abrahamic God.
That's why he stands for order and virtue and shit while Crom is the literal Ancap deity who cares about the strong.

Probably not, that might be Mitra. Jesus Christ healed people and shit. Mitra is all about holy healing.

Everything Conan-related aside from the comics has always sucked, nothing came even close to capturing the feel of the comics.

THANK YOU for summarizing this shit, fuck the shills

No I meant that in older fantasy alien technology was perceived as magic by the setting's inhabitants because they didn't understand it and Hyboria has this as well. Other than that you are right that the magic is real ritual magic instead of niggas shooting random fireballs.

Why are anime posters so retarded?

It's just boring
Ark is simple better

I was actually thinking of getting into it again but my clan stopped playing and they don't want to start over again.
If anyone wants to play together on a pvp server with 1-3 xp and farming rates I would start again.

The purge shit is finally supposed to be fixed soon, some 8 months later. Finding out "The Purge" was basically nothing was a big disappointment for me.

The arnold movies were great though.

Wat? Not in any way at all.

While I like this image it always bugs me because I don't think there's a single game where you can actually play AS Chihaya Kisaragi so you can't really "be" her. Miku is a bit of a stretch too but I guess there are a few things that technically count. Also using Meruru over Totori is a very questionable choice because Meruru's breasts are way too big for her to belong in this image.

At any rate, apparently you can play as cute girls in Conan Exiles so there's nothing gay about playing this game. However I have not learned yet if you can make your character adequately flat chested. More research must be conducted.

The thing about Crom is that even within the game world he doesn't exist. Crom is basically atheism. You offer no worship, you get no benefits.

Mary Sue is incorrect. He has many strengths, but he has short comings that the author points out frequently.

Bullshit, Crom does exist. You get blessed with strength and an iron will and you appease Crom by how far you go.

Apparently Arnold has been trying to get an Old Man Conan movie made for a while now. I have a feeling it will eventually happen. And so I have high hopes for it.

Rofl dude you're wrong tho

It got put on hold though. Arnold said it back in 2018 or 2017 unfortunately.

He does exist, he just is an uncaring god who pushes you to become great by your own strengths be it physical or mental.

Yeah but he said something again recently. As in, just a couple days ago. So I think he hasn't given up.

>Getting his ass kicked and surviving through determination and grit is part of the power fantasy, though
i mean sure, but it's not Mary Sueism
a Mary Sue doesn't even need to try and everyone likes them and they're inexplicably related to all the main characters and everyone wants to fuck them and they succeed effortlessly at everything they do

doesn't quite describe Conan

why does it trigger you so much

Not exactly, Conan is the embodiment of the Nietzschean ubermensh who lives through his own strenght and willpower only for his own benefit. The modern man in that regard depends too much on society which Conan does not. That's also a point in the stories. Civilized men are seen as weak due to living in comfort for too long but Conan is strong because every moment in his life is a struggle.

>calm, even-handed statement
>"W-WOW, WHY ARE YOU SO MAD THOUGH? WH-WHY ARE YOU TRIGGERED?"

Every time.

because i'm fairly sure it's been you asking the same question repeatedly throughout this whole thread

I think not.

need more ingame titties posted

This is why I think Crom sounds more like the actual God. If you set aside the Bible which is a load of horse hockey, you see that God also does not answer prayers and leaves the strong to seize their own destiny. But He does still exist. Sounds pretty similar to Crom.

Crom isn't the Lord fag. Jesus N Christ preformed healing shit, that's something Crom doesn't do but instead Mitra. Probably doesn't answer prayers as often because his own emissary was crucified by jews.

Dude all iterations of God advocate for a virtuous life. You are allowed to wage war on the unbelievers and show your strength that way but among believers you are supposed to be a good guy.

Damn! And people try to say modern games don't have good armor design.

It's priestly clothes, I think.

Anyone wanna team up and play in a pvp server?

Isn't there an armour mod for this that changes it into having a nipple chain-ring?

That's the zingaran dancer outfit, which are basically NOT!gypsies.

Maybe, on loverslab or steam.

To be fair Hyperboria is NOT!Earth the setting. From what I understand Howard loved history and wanted to right historical fiction but was too autistic in his fact checking to crank out a lot. So he wrote fantasy as a stopgap if he wanted to take creative liberties.

Write, not right. I am a literal dicksucking brainlet.

Conan exiles is a last effort from Funcom because they were at the brink of bankruptcy, the game only reminds me who what the MMO could have been but right now it's just an empty survival sandbox.

Because it's a generic meme game with a conan skin, who gives a fuck?

Yeah it basically is a mix of antiquity and medieval times mixed with 19th and 20th century race theories. Nevertheless the guy must have been pretty well read about history if he could put all this in his setting during a time when the internet didn't exist. For example Hyrkanians which are basically NOT!mongols and NOT!turks got their name from Hyrkunia which is an old iranian name for turkic central asia.

the game has very little in common with the Conan universe

Good job, user.

It got the general feeling down.
Its a good mix of tits and lovecraftian horrors.

Besides the Exiled Lands just being some made up shit for the sake of making a geographically diverse map for gameplay, I really don't see how you've come to the conclusion it has little to do with the Hyborian Age. Unless you're one of those people who think anything added after Howard isn't canon.

What's the fucking difference between Conan and Hyborian age? Does hyborian still have the Shemites, Stygians, Aliqonians, Picts and all other Conan civilizations?

The Conan stories are set during the Hyborian Age.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hyborian_Age

My only and best experience in a conan's game wasnt even a game, but a mod in neverwinter nights 2.
The only way to do a good conan game is to create one that support the entire world, and nw2 was able to do that. Magic, gods, classes, dialog, skills, races. Since conan is a underrated fiction today you can only see a good story and campaign by modding.
Hear my advice and go search in neverwinter vault. and i almost forgot, imagine treating a generic survival game as a conan game.

what would his stats be in NW2?
it must be godlike, so impossible without cheats

The game looks good, but many enemies are just way to hard to soloplayers.
The game has way to less content....there's not really much to do than basebuilding
IF you are into basebuilding, the game is great for you.

Usually once a clan has a monopoly on a server they also end up with a pretty brutal monopoly of resources too.

It was possible, even easy, to block the spawns of resources in different locations with simplistic structures and if those structures are made of higher tier parts players starting from their beginning wont be able to scratch it for a long time. This is probably still a problem. The game accidentally made it very easy for players to act this way.

That's because God similarly also does not exist. The only difference is there's organized worship or "God" while there is no organized worshhip of Crom. I don't even know if there's a priest to teach you the "worship" of Crom.

Other Gods actually exist in the universe. You offer them things and they give you boons in return, either protecting your base from sieges, or calling on them to manifest as an avatar and lay siege to our enemies.

>Marvel Conan comics

Does it let people know when a player has joined a server? If it was a secret then that would at least create the potential for sneaking around trying to sabotage them without them noticing.

>Sounds pretty similar to Crom.
Ok, I was trying to be nice but you're fucking stupid, so I'll spoonfeed you.

All of Christianity LITERALLY revolves around begging their god for help, it's called "praying". Christcucks pray to him and ask him for stuff they want.
While Conan says "we do not pray to Crom, he despises weaklings that ask for help". You don't pray to Crom, he never gives you anything, he expects you to TAKE what you want in life.

Yeah. Difficulty is up the ass sometimes, but you don't NEED other players. Bring a combat thrall or a beefy pet when you go into dungeons, that's usually all you need. If I remember right, if you're lucky enough to spawn a locust queen from a locust egg, those fuckers can solo some of the endgame bosses.

it's not that he was autistic it's that he lived in a small town without a good library so he couldn't be accurate.

It's a co-op open world crafting-based sandbox survival spinoff of an old f2p MMO
what did you expect?

What games have the best character creator? I think the Conan one was pretty great.

dungeons and bosses can't be done without other people, but it's fun to fuck around and kill a few hours with it
just turn crafting time way down and the resource multipliers way up

What's a good mod for reducing building costs for single player? It's a pain navigating all these outdated abandoned mods on the workshop and a lot of the time people name them in such a way that they're impossible to find.

When I played Oblivion I remembered being shocked at the autistic detail to which you could customize your character. I think they actually simplified it in Skyrim because it was too much.

is there any way to go above lvl60?
you're way too weak playing solo

Wild Life

The only part that's not is the actual geographical map they use, which they did in order to make a map small enough to be traveled on foot yet have multiple biomes of desert, jungle, savannah, northern forest, swamp, snowy mountains, and a volcano. That and the Giant-kings, but the Giant-kings were in league with the Serpent-men who were an ancient enemy of men in Conan's universe

I'm not sure if there's an announcement but you can see a list of all the people currently on the server at the time.

what we're trying to say is that neither Crom nor the Christian God actually exist, so neither answer prayers.

>this is what fedorakids believe

if you're going to fuck with settings you can make bosses and dungeons soloable too, but then at that point you might as well god mode.

They are not smart. The world/setting itself offers nearly unimited potential for making great rpgs. Better yet, they can also be interlinked story-wise.
In one game, you play as some explorer/adventurer getting some artefact, you fuck over some temple guardian (he is a boss - its not necessary to kill him - more like just evade/confuse/trick). Guess what. Next game is about consequences of this theft, since it kept some ancient sorcerrers undead/demon army asleep. Guardian has some great mystic powers, and now has to kick army's ass. Both games follow intertwined story, both play differently - former is Dark Messiah style, latter is Diablo 2. Or something like it.
Lots of potential. Lots.

So nobody wants to start a Yea Forums clan and start over at a pvp server?

The problem is whether or not you'll even be able to do said thing. It's very easily possible to maintain a monopoly of the best and safest build locations. After a certain point this will mean coming into the server you're running further for resources, making you easier and easier to kill. It's also possible to hog resources and build close enough to location you don't hog that you reduce resources available on the map. You can both shorten your grind while lengthening the grind of would-be challengers.

Another inherent issue is gear. There is a gear game that you have to play to. As they've been on the map longer it tends to be true that they'll have access to Tier 3 and 4 thralls for their weapons and armor. The significance is the quality of the crafted armor. While you're making simpler armors they're building Flawless armors and weapons. Even if you assume you grinding your level up efficiently they get a numbers boost on that alone and that is before you're outnumbered in a fight.

It also tends to be true that when they reach that level of dead server they don't always top grinding explosives up. Clans end up with ludicrous amounts of crafted anti-base tools to just sit on forever. Sure, you might sneak into a base and turn their explosives against them. The more realistic outcome is that they notice a stranger online and tell the clan. Then they search for your base while you're offline and completely erase it. Even if they don't find you, they'll typically have plenty of chances long before you even out in tech and resources with them. You have to expand the size of your operations to get better shit to play catch up. Bigger bases are easy to find.

Would if I had the time.

Most dedicated servers(non official servers) have rules against this though. You aren't allowed to build over resources or claim too much land. Also after a while most people reach max level which levels the playing field a lot.

this, fortnite unironically does building better and is quake levels of optimized this game has no excuse

You don't know that Crom doesn't exist in universe

That's funny because I found conan looked pretty good and ran pretty well for a game of its genre though to be honest my experience in the genre is limited. I had friends convince me to buy conan, and before this, 7 days to die which was god fucking awful it looked like shit and was using 11GB of RAM, just absolutely fucking ridiculous.

The way I see it if he can't prove his existence and he niether punishes or rewards his worshippers, he doesn't exist.

That's being a fedora at that point

>You don't know that Crom doesn't exist in universe
A lot like how there's no confirmation or denial that God exists in THIS universe.

Except Crom has the balance that he is in a fantasy universe where gods and magic are a factual thing, so it's way more likely that he exists there

On another god-related note, what exactly is the downside to Derketo? She sounds awesome. Just a whole bunch of sex all the time.

Should I worship Set or Derketo as a hot stygian bitch? They both work for stygian. Which has better gear?

High mortality rate.

I think it's for the best that the DLC is unimportant stuff instead of locking vital game content behind the DLC as some games like to do, but you are right that it does not excuse the lack of patches to fix the many problems.

I don't believe he exists, I just don't believe he DOESN'T exist in the universe of conan because as I said in

I mean, we're in a universe where some Gods actually do exist and we can see proof of their existence. They reward worshippers and punish the enemies of their faithful and can even manifest themselves.

Look I'm just gonna say it:

Fuck reddit and fuck your retarded opinion.

No, those weak of heart ask God to solve their problems.

Those who have understood the revelation and hold resolution in their heart know only to ask God for the strength to complete their tasks by their own hand.

The difference is not only clear but obvious.

Whatever newfag, Reddit's a website it doesn't even have feelings.

Reddit spacing has always been considered gay as fuck, no one agrees with you except other redditors and underageb&s.

No, I'm being very clear here:

If you have a problem with other websites existing and formatting being diverse then you're obviously a product of a modern internet, not just Yea Forums.

You're a newfag in the most extreme sense of the word, to the internet itself. Site wars are for children.

First of all, there's obvious differences in how reddit handles its communities. Second of all, it's clear that a lot of a certain kind of people are attracted to it.
