Conan Exiles

Yep played conan for 3 years, it had a lot of good stuff going for it but lack of content early on killed it. Tortage and the first 20 levels were some of the best in any MMO. Shame it never really kicked on from there and the grind form 35+ was pretty bad up to 80. They finally fixed it and the bugs (though sieges were still a laggy mess).

I agree, the Tortage area in AoC was ace but as that was all the content you could access in beta they spent all their efforts on that and very little on the rest of the areas as you saw. Such a shame the rest of the game didn't measure up.

I really enjoyed AoC's version of Hyboria so have hope for Exiles despite it still being made by Funcom.
 
OK looking at gameplay properly, it's very Ark like. Slightly put off :/

Hmm. Do need to treat myself to something that's not a racing game lol.

Base building, skills, etc I love so I might like it.
 
Was fairly satisfied earlier today with how the game ran. Sadly it has fallen apart now since i keep losing servers. Favourites does not work and search seems to do nothing.myself and 5 of my steam friends tried to get on a server together and gave up.
I am hoping it is first day problems but 3 of them have requested refunds already!
 
The game is looking glorious, and it runs fairly well on the ultra preset. My only grievance is the terrible network performance on official servers.

Also, the environment makes for some great wallpaper material:

I had a go last night, played on singleplayer as I couldnt find any online servers to join. I found after watching Slipg8r's stream that he changed a couple of world settings, as I was gaining XP at a slower rate than he was and he got way more upgrade points and character points per level up. I found the standard setting (1.0 for everything) made the game very grindy and slow.

Any one else find that? I found myself not being strong enough to kill people, and not leveling up fast enough to get new recipes, which meant I was getting over encumbered because gathering was giving me xp, but at a slow rate.

I wonder what settings he used as that seemed a good balance and made it look more fun than what I had.

Just watching this video shows how fast he gains exp and more points per level

Suppose a refund at day one makes sense, however if they're giving up after day 1 is plain retarded!

8 of us picked an empty server on PvP blitz and all got on no problems what so ever.... Then through the night others found the server and had no problems getting on.

Must say, haven't enjoyed a game this much for a while. We're just playing on the blitz server for 30days until the wipe then we're picking a server to play on perma.

We managed to get a get two story base up.... Between us all gathering. We all picked various skills which worked great, from some creating health spells to one making us all weapon and armour up grades.

We raided a few camps, wiped once but the rest of the time dominated camps. Nice loot creates at the end.

So yeah, excited about us all getting stuck in and working toward a tier 3 city!!

All welcome to join us!

Standard setting is very slow to level after the first few but I suppose that was to be expected.
 
I had a quick go this morning and it looks like the reduction of server pop caps has removed the rubber banding at least for now. Hopefully they find a proper fix soon as yesterday was painful.

My guys are telling me that the reason public servers were experiencing lag/rubber banding was because of the anti cheat.... It had never been tested as naturally they were closed testing!

Which is completely retarded! But hey.
 
So I tried the game. Felt it was Ark in a new skin, performance a little better but then there is a 1/3rd of the content. I refunded it for now and will see about picking it back up in a few months if it gets established.

I like running tribes and working to build etc so what Thegoon84 is exactly how I would want to play in fairness. I did have a tribe of 16 on Ark that went really well for about a month but people started to want more and stab each other in the back and trade alliances because we were happy doing what we was for the most. It got there in the end though.
 
Had a good laugh on this last night, its definitely not perfect by any means though.

We found the best way to join your friends on a server was to completely exit the game and join their game from your Steam friends list.

Also, punching through walls and robbing people blind is rather lame, but extremely good fun :D I felt like such a scumbag.
 
my humble beginnings lol.

It is better performing than ARK, but at the same time the world is pretty bare at the moment. I'm only sitting around 40fps on high preset, but that it is 1440p. Drops to 30fps in heavy wooded areas :( Early Access is Early Access, I'm enjoying it though, it's nice and relaxing.
