[Megathread] Conan Exiles

[unholytestament]

Umm is there magic in this game for players to cast or is it only the eldritch stuff?

Apparently not at the moment. The AMA mentioned them adding two different magic systems in the future.

Any information on what kind? Having an unmodded survival game with an interesting magic system would be kinda neat.

[derpkitteh]

magic, and i hope they add more gods. ibis, ishtar, borri, ymir, so many.

also, keep your eyes open everywhere you go. might find notes and stuff. i found one in a yog worshipper camp.

I am guessing the same magic we had in Age of Conan, but evolved and improved. Something like that. Age of Conan magic: http://aoc.wikia.com/wiki/Magic has spellweaving and I bet it will be implemented. Spellweaving :

Spellweaving is the art of stringing together a series of spell to create one massive spell that will produce devastating and otherwise extreme results. Spellweaving is an art that will take skill to master, and it is very much a tactical and strategic part of the game that require planning and thinking to carry out.

Sorcery and necromancy. Will require corruption. Will not be anything like Skyrim etc.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Ah I see, so it will probably be mostly static stuff :/.

[derpkitteh]

shame that sorcery will require corruption. i could understand necromancy, since it's usually painted as evil. but just general magic use? that's not really evil.

i know set is the most active in dealing with mortals, but surely good gods can grant magic too. mitra's pretty active in mortal affairs.

Magic in the Hyborian Age was pretty much an evil thing, and Mitra isn't really a good god, I know he's the god of justice but he is also vengeful and jealous af.

Yeah that's just odd. Necromancy makes sense to have corruption of some sort.

well, i mean, he's basically yahwe. so, not good, but he's against all forms of blood sacrifice at least. by conan standards he's one of the good ones.

i mean, i guess the common view of magic would see it as something scary and evil. but all the gods can grant it, so it doesn't have to be. guess set's the only one putting out the magic.

Btw, have anyone found an in-game feedback/reporting tool?

[Gray_Matter]

Absolutely, but it has other issues, elsewhere, like clunky combat. Like having to do the tutorial every single character you roll, like... plenty of issues. It's the best storytelling MMO in a horror setting around, but it also has no competition. They put in the effort, but the end-result simply wasn't perfect.

No game is perfect. I have only played TSW from Funcom and have had a boat load of fun with the game. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's certainly entertaining. That to me is one of the most important parts of a game.

Goto agree so far, and the scenery is epic. They really did a good job on capturing atmosphere.

Welp, they confirmed 320K copies sold and they've recouped all their development costs already. I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how much of a hit this is, bodes well for their troubled finances.

[unholytestament]

So how often are we to expect updates for early access games?

Often, I will put up a server this weekend and use a mod some fanbase dood made for autoupdatiting/autorestarting the server.
It has been 1-2 updates per day since I started playing this last Friday.

I wonder if that number includes all the pirated copies out there? After they accidentally released a DRM free beta build.

Any reasonable person would say no, given that they see no revenue from those versions.

If you wanted to take a shot at them for that mistake, go for it, no need to ask silly questions. And I'm sure all the pirates can enjoy their launch version which will not be receiving any updates.

[Malderon]

Can someone tell me how many servers there are in official version? Is it possible to find completely empty server to start with a friend? And are servers any laggy now?

[Bakis]

If I want food to last longer in server settings does food fall under DurabilityMultiplier=x setting as well?
Anyone know?

Finding a new one is doable for sure, problem is you have no idea how stable it will be, if it will be up for a week or 4 months whatnot.
Either way it might be better to join one with at least some players cos it says some little bit about stability you can also use: Link to get server stats, uptime etc.
They are not laggy except if its poor hardware or the current patch is poor(most often the case).
