Where the FUCK do I find named armorers? I've only seen one spawn and a parade of spiders got her before I could even pull out the truncheon.
>>2500584There's one just outside the Summoning Place west of Spinebreaker's FlankOne's in Hunter's View east of the Unnamed CityOne to the south in SepermeruOne in the very northern mound in the Mounds of the DeadOne in the Pagoda of Boundless LustsProbably a bunch more I'm forgetting
>>2500605I've looked in Sepermeru and the summoning place. A bunch of the darfari camps too. I might have to range further. I remember it used to be easy to get whatever in Sinner's Refuge way back.
>>2500630None of them are guaranteed spawns though, remember. You may have to murder a bunch of unnamed npcs repeatedly to trigger it.
>>2500584>>2500630Build a mega tavern, wait until a T4 shows up then follow them outside when they leave and bonk them.Or just genocide known spawn locations until they show up.
>>2500630https://conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Armorer_(profession)Buncha named T4s on this page.
>>2500651>Build a mega tavernwut? (sorry just getting back into Conan after a long break)
>>2500663Taverns are a thing now. You build one, put up some takes and seats, install a bar and get a tavern keeper running the place, and you'll get npcs showing up to drink, some of whom you can hire(or follow and club)
>>2500781>put up some takesTables. Autocorrect.
>>2500781Do taverns shit up the game performance on single player or is that exclusive to multiplayer?
>>2501231I'm on a private server with a few friends, and don't really see any performance issues around taverns.
>>2500781WHAT. Where the fuck do I get a tavern keeper that's cool
>>2501656Nya, but i have found all mine from cages as prisoners.Its really neat.to populated some place you built.I got the ground floor of this tower I built thays got two bars and some hearths with comfy chairs and tables.This shit also makes the hidden 'thrall happiness' mechanic go through the roof, because even if guard thralls and shit won't go and get a drink etc, the game counts all the interactables as something they 'like' or some shit.So if you want to keep those bitches happy, build a pub.
>>2501696Nya, nya, I don't think you can get tavernkeepers any other way
>>2501743They also show up during Purges.
>>2501785well, yeah, but they're still in the cages of the raid camp
>>2501897I mean, I don't kinkshame.
Is there a way to give a companion two weapon loadouts and command it to use a given one? If I put a cudgel in my companion's inventory it only ever uses that even if I put the actual weapon in its hands.
>>2502369There's a mod that lets you assign a keybind to do that but not by default, no
>>2502477Not even by forcibly dropping the weapon in their hands from their inventory?
>>2502574that wouldn't be two loadouts though, it'd just be the one.
>>2502818No, I mean, kneeling both sets of weapons in the companion's inventory and choosing which one you want it to use by dropping it in its hands. That doesn't work?
>>2502986That only works with archers and giving them a bow/melee weapon (and they don't even do it as reliably as npcs). I don't know if fighters have the actual ability to automatically swap
>>2503770But what you just asked that I replied to isn't 'having two loadouts' - that's just manually swapping their weapons but having them carry it for you. Another thing - if the melee follower had originally a 1h or 2h weapon can also complicate things. I don't know if they ever fixed it - but it used to be that if you changed what weapon type they had when you got them (i.e. going from a pike to a 1h axe) they wouldn't use the combos as effectively as one that already had the weapon type.
There was someone on the CE reddit trying another exiled lands placement thing using all the descriptions from the stories and it came out like you'd expect. However something somebody said made me consider something I hadn't - the 'ocean' on the eastern edge of the map. It could possibly just be the river Nilus (later renamed to styx). There's a couple instances in real life where rivers get so wide you can't see the other side (amazon at points can be 7-11 miles wide and the congo river is 30 miles wide at some points). Also - I had forgotten that the mountains in the north only became snow-covered after the frost giants moved into the area and set up the temple of frost.So yeah, a good candidate for the Unnamed City could be the original site of Luxor before the desert took over the area and the Giant-Kings moved further north and named a new city that.
Which is the better first perk for Freya, +15 Str/Vit, or the bleed one?
>>2503818I saw that same post a few days ago but I dismiss the idea of putting it in Stygia because the exiled lands aren't naturally arid. Its a desert because the sandstorm is outof control, the natural biome is jungle like on the east side.With that in mind the only concrete detail we really have is the area is west of Vendhya and Vilayet. It could be next to a really wide river though, yeah.Placing it on a map is complicated by the realization that there is no true canon map of Hyboria except the first one REH drew which is really poor and only encompasses the western area. When the game came out I think the latest official map printed in a product was in the Conan RPG rulebook (which is also full of inaccuracies like giving Turan control of the eastern desert when it should actually be part of Shem). Using that map I'd personally place it somewhere west of Kosala or even in the Black Kingdoms along that southern coastline because even if that eastern edge is just a really wide river the Lemurians have to arrive there naturally by sea and its weird if they start going far in-land in river systems.
>>2505149To add to this, I was reminded about this post >>2498480 from the previous thread and it would make a lot more sense for a literal who race like "Tribal Himelians" to be a playable race if the exiled lands are in Kosala or along that coastline as it would be right next to the Himelian mountains.
>>2505149Well, actually in some of the giant-king stones - they mention that the dam they built in the north and the aqueducts let them turn the area fertile and there was already desert to the south anyways from what the stone tells you at the spawn point when you start the game.
>>2505277Also - the surrounding area around the UC was more like the savannah/noob river/crownsgrove
>>2505277I'll run around to check the stones then.There's also stuff that throws it into question like the invasion from Stygia event but I feel events are ambiguously canon at best. The relic hunters all worship Set as well.Other points of evidence I notice that never come up is the shrine to Hanuman along the noob river. It seems like its a natural shrine built later by locals and as far as I can source, Hanuman is worshipped around Zamboula (which also places it in the direction of Kosala though it could go either way, its between that area and Stygia anyway).If we really want to make it a river, I submit the Ilbars River running towards the Vilayet sea, though I haven't given up on thinking its not a river.
>>2503776To whit, archers won't even use ranged weapons in their inventory if you set them off of 'withdraw'. Instead they will ignore their bows etc to rush into melee.
can i use spells in this game? also can the female thralls beat me upalso whats a good server setting for solo? something that feels good but not cheaty
I've been trying to get corrupted attributes to a place where I'm satisfied with them. I tried 15 authority to corrupt it for Devour and 10 Vitality corrupted for more passive regen but both the passive regen and the health back from Devour are kinda low. That much corruption also reduces my stamina way too much for comfortable climbing and dodging.I swapped 5 points from auth to vitality and only corrupting enough for the shared damage amongst thralls but ultimately I feel like if not for the spell to easy gather resources I would drop sorcery all together.For reference, my current build is>Strength 10>Agility 0>Vitality 15>Authority 10 (corrupted)>Grit 20>Expertise 5 (mainly for carry capacity, though if I could go leaner in weight I'd love to put these points anywhere else)
>>2505734For climbing:Complete the climbing journey to get a pair of Spiderclimb Boots and then add a Armor Flexibility Kit for more stamina reductionAs for dodging, you may need to rethink your gear and kitsHerbal Tea helps regenerate staminaElixir of Freedom/Golden Lotus Potion gives +21 stamina for 60 minutesIf you have the Isle of Siptah DLC, you can get the Gloves of Jhil that regenerates 3 stamina every secondWhat is your total stamina after corruption, how much stamina do you use when dodging, what is your gear and kits and what build are you going for?
>>2505824add Gliding Joints to Spiderclimb Boots*not Armor Flexibility Kit
>>2505824I can't remember its exact score, if I had to guess I'd say it was around 90. Gear is mostly the Silent Legion stuff that I farmed from named relic hunters and executioner's hood. I use the twin bar mod which is contributing to being heavy since I carry more tools and gear than I would by default, if I had to get leaner I'd probably start there but the QoL added from it is pretty nice.Mostly I just care about the gear letting me easily deal with bosses, which I felt a smoother experience with before dipping into sorcery.
>>2505687Once you do the sorcery shit, yes.
IQOL when??
>>2506142The dev couldn't get it working and the last update he posted was that he'd reached out to the Enhanced devs for help. Apparently he's done something similar before and somebody responded and helped him, but this was posted about two weeks ago ago and there's been no update since. He also released the source code as a kind of primal scream for assistance from literally anyone, but if anybody's working on it they haven't said so. It's kind of in the wind now.
>Dalinsia Snowhunter is widely acknowledged as the best fighter thrall (due to her base stats?)>thralls have randomized stat growths even for the same characterSo apparently endgame thrall farming is just farming Dalinsia gacha and running around with a harem of her clones?
>>2506528Pretty much. I have found her 3 times at Stargazer's Crest
>>2506545>go to Burial Grounds>wow, interesting lore dump about raiders>sure are a lot of artisan class thralls here>chance upon Dalinsia, kidnap her for the rape wheel>realize that I am the raiders>proceed to farm the village for Star Metal equipment anyway

>>2506528>farming up the best pokemon gachagirl for an already easy gameI found a random named sorceress, checked her stats and saw the melee/ranged multipliers were about equal with most non-named fighter thralls from around the noob river and have just been running with her for everything. Made her a little chubby because of an easy life doing magic with a dash of freckles and red hair using ToT and I'm just going to use her for everything until a giant snake swallows her or she's turned into red paste by rocknoses or something.
>>2506667post her
>trying to carve witchfire dust from the skeleton jelliesWere they always fucked like this or was this just introduced with UE5?
>Go to Hanuman's Cave>Cast Gather Resources>End up with 11,000 crystalsGuess I'll never need to make glass again. It almost feels like cheating.
>build golem>set it to harvest rocks>only works if I'm nearby>harvests a pitiful amount per rock broken>retarded pathfindingFuck it, I'm throwing away all my golem parts and disassembling the workbenches. I assume it's supposed to work better in a server mode instead of single-player where the game only renders around the player?
>>2507286I noticed this only for rocks and wood, my plant golem consistently gardens all the bushes in the area.
>>2507150My friend cast a gather on a moderately sized stretch of crystal in the spider cave and I thought for sure the game was going to crash.Lagged out for a good 2min straight,.
>>2505316Also from what I remember of the stones, the jungle/swamp to the east was what was given to the lemurians because the giant kings weren't using it and it was essentially wasteland to them.Honestly - if they were to make a new map the thing I think would be coolest would be a sort of 'ancient exile lands' set around the time of the lemurian/GK war. I'd probably put it at a point where it's after the battle where the humans had that strange weapon that caused the sulfur flats and maybe the first time the sandstorm is called on. I would love to dick around in an unburied/whole Unnamed City.
Do some enemies have like hidden "ignore shields" modifiers? There was this one jailer with a regular-ass shortsword who'd just stagger stunlock me to death every time even though I held the shield up in good time before it attacked every time.
>>2507434It'd be fun to see an unburied unnamed city, yeah. Though I think if there are new lands I'd rather they be more true to the map (such as it is) like the Isle of Siptah instead of an ambiguous zone that could be anywhere.It doesn't take a lot of creativity to add whatever anywhere either so there's no need for these sorts of made up places like the exiled lands.
DD enhanced is out...*cough cough*
>>2506727I notice a lot of the leggings and skirts start to look weird if you boost the thigh size too much.
>>2509664Thighcels hate thicc thighs that save lives.
I've found only one place to consistently get blood crystals and its a single elemental bull thing that spawns on the north cliff of the noob river near the stone that tells you about the highway being destroyed.At least it respawns pretty fast but is that literally it? There's no node or spawn anywhere else?
>>2509985They spawn in a couple different places but since they're rocknoses they'll be underground until you walk by and get spooked. Obviously makes it a bitch to find them unless you already know where to look or just get lucky.
I am taming way too many animals I'll never use in combat. Last one is an alpha cobra I named Snake Hissken
>>2510207Just leave them in the animal pen so they produce fertilizer or ore if you have rocknoses
>>2510207Toss em in front of your treasury for when you feel like messing with the purge. A bunch of disposable animals backed up by thralls with shitty perks who failed to make the cut can still have some use.
>mod that reduces the tiddie size of all NPCsFor what purpose, they rarely ever have tits that go above 0.5 in the ToT editor.
>>2510335nta but I've never interacted with the purge system in its current form. I know it involves some kind of special chest you craft though right?I like the idea of putting a bunch of low level disposable thralls and allowing the purge to 'filter' the best out of them, keeping the ones that make it through.
>>2510360With wonderbody its not so bad but it does become silly after a while, especially finding archer thralls with enormous tits
>>2510360There's been a tendency since the enhanced edition for npcs to spawn with max tiddy size, it's kind of ridiculous.
>have a named fighter thrall that's pretty decent>read about Dalinsia >go capture her>her performance at level 0 is so much above my Enika of Cimmeria it's agonist depressingNot all companions are made equal, I guess.
>>2510473Unfortunately dally just kicks ass that much harder. It's also why archer thrills are pretty useless unless you want them just so you can larp as have guards on your battlements.
Do I need to build walls before triggering a purge? Should I hide all my non-combatants so they don't die and I have to go hunt for them to kidnap again?
>>2510538Try equipping all your thralls with clubs so you can take the entire purge army as new thralls
>>2510595nta but where do they usually spawn from? I've yet to do a purge and I worry I built my outer walls too far away and npcs still spawn inside.
>>2510614I have the impression this thread is kept alive by only two, maybe three, anons and for my part I've reached the intersection between pretending to be stupid and actually being stupid. So, I don't know.
>>2510614A camp will spawn at a random spot nearby where there's space and a clear path for niggers to rush your treasury. Always assume it'll be somewhere incredibly inconvenient and not where you actually think it'll appear. Pic related is a couple years old and taken on a toaster but should give you an idea just how stupidly close it can get in extreme cases. That said, purge difficulty/rewards scale with how much treasure you've got so you can start one with near-empty coffers and rip right through it for a quick tutorial.
>>2510360They look too balloony and fake, and it warps armor in a pretty ugly way.
>>2510721Was it always that way? I remember them sometimes looking fake closer to release but I feel like they're rounder now, more bolt-on like.
>craft Aquilonian Armour>HA HA TIME TO LARP AS GREEKS>the back is exposed for some reasonO-ok, I guess looking at my character's manly back is alright. Also, the sculpted pecs on the breastplate jiggle, it's hilarious. All the exposed male barbarian armours in the game look so much better than full body stuff it's bizarre.
>>2510808>anon discovers why people make female characters
Torches are pretty useless. There are rarely any immediate navigational dangers unless on cliffs at the darkest hours and they mess with the adaptation so its hard to see things further ahead.
>>2510887Yeah, you're better off with nightvision via potion or hat if you're somewhere really dark. The torch actively makes your visual range smaller, and the sorcery wisp spell is worse than useless.
>>2510725I feel like armor fit the giganto honkers better in old Conan.But it never looked amazing, always had that bolt-on feel.
>>2510108The detect corruption spell is what you use for the blood stone rocknoses
>>2510363that's all well and good until you reach the later stages where it throws exploding golems and sorcerers that summon meteor showers
>>2510898there's also a light wisp spell

making some good progress on my argossean base, kind of bummed that all the ceiling pieces are too tall to make pediments for the temple.

more room in the passageway between the courtyard and the rest of the house.
the dining area is taller than the rest of the building, i think i might buy the observatory pack for the bigger windows.

Man, some of the music in Conan Exiles is making me terribly nostalgic for Age of Conan, even though I've recently tried returning to the game and just couldn't because both the graphics and gameplay were so very badly dated.
>>2511912Dude really be mongolmaxxing
>>2512056The music makes me want to rewatch HBO's Rome, at least what loops on the noob river
bros is the music barrel really the only option we have more livelier ambient sound? the loops are too short for me and they get repetitive. im too dumb to figure out how to add my own tracks to it. Taverns are incredibly lifeless without it.
>>2511912guy looks cool af
>>2512366The devkit is actually really easy to use once you realise all the documentation is outdated. You could just find the music datatable and swap out whatever you don't like, its literally just spreadsheets under the hood.

>>2512528havent heard anything from grim about it
Is the lightning storm spell actually ever useful?
>>2513453I'm not sure any of them outside of slow fall, bat mount and harvest are. And bat mount is tenuous, I only like it for navigating some of the eastern desert areas around the stone pirate ship.

>>2513796Being able to go to Siptah definitely throws progression into turbo too.You just go to the tower and everything's so weak it's easy to just sit and farm up the highest resources and nab star metal items off the Accursed.
>>2511575try khitan walls for internals, with aquilonian cirner pillars. aquilonian is also very nice set. but khitan walls are the same on both sides, whereas almost every other set has an 'outside' and 'inside' side, which makes them suck all of the dicks for internals.
>>2509985from memory theres one in the arena on the outer edge near the wallthere was one also at the top of pass from Dalisina comet gaze camp or whatever to the volcanodont know if that one is still there or was for an eventTheres another one outside the main gate of the forgotten city near a talking stone on the other side of the roadCant remember any others
>>2509985>>2513935You should just go for the golems. The rocknoses barely give any.There's a golem near the tower on Siptah, under one of the archways. One of the ones next to the big ghost skeleton boss. There's also one up on the ridge where the most black ice spawns in Exiled Lands, up above the Ymir religion trainer.
>>2514150yeah the Ymir trader one was the 2nd one i was thinking of.The Arena has a Golem too and consistently spawns
>>2514189There's another one up around Freya I think, but I can't remember exactly.In that general area somewhere.
Armor recipes aren't balanced at all it seems. Most of the endgame armor uses the same 18 hardened steel bars and 3 steel reinforcements for every piece whether its boots or helm, except cimmerian armor which uses less hardened steel, or even better, tavern keeper armor which just uses regular iron but has hardened steel tier stats.

Another update and now another one of my mods is causing a visual issueI think it might be time for me to just give up Conan again. Can't force downloads to stop on it, it just ignores my toggle on Steam.

>>2515629>it starts sliding around the floor in circlesWhat's interesting is it happens while playing solo on my own server too. On an official server I might chalk it up to bad ping but its apparently just the base game.
>>2515548>Another updateI am starting to lean towards preferring to play on legacy, actually, just to avoid the constant updates. The lighting from UE5 is nice but its not actually such a game-changer as its marketed to be.
>game updates automatically>server in playing on hasn't yet>can't play until the admin wakes up and reboots it>can't roll back update so I can play in the meantimeI distinctly recall a time when you could choose when to download/apply updates manually, but the only options now are "let Steam decide when to update" or "update on next game start". I hate it.
>>2511192>>2511207>>2511175>>2511159>>2511161>>2511131
>>2516669What's interesting is opening the dev kit there was a popup message instructing how to use a batch file to skip requiring EGS to be running (to avoid the devkit itself auto-updating).There's no such thing for use-facing applications though. You are a consumer and therefore cattle to them.
i have a GT 1030, will it run?
>>2516864I've heard of people running this on 970s. I wouldn't enable any advanced lighting shit with a card that old though.
>>2516880noted, thanks
>>2515629It's a new bug, and the trick to it is that the corpse isn't actually moving. Just keep harvesting in the same place you started and you'll keep going, even when the visual floats away.
>game is fucking broken againThis is ridiculous
>>2516979>that the corpse isn't actually moving. Just keep harvesting in the same place you started and you'll keep going, even when the visual floats away.Nope. It stops giving any materials.
Is there a named fighter thrall that's as good as or better than Dalinsia available without having to go to Siptah?
>>2517007Try wiggling around a bit, because the hit boxes are wonky even before it starts moving. I just spent 4 hours around Mounds today dealing with this, and I'm certain now after dozens of ghosts. It's still there, even if you don't see it. This is opposite to how legacy workered, where you could only harvest off the body which could have ragdolled to different places for each player.>>2517014Volcano T4's are currently the strongest by a good measure (2.5x hidden damage mult, compared to 2.2x Dalinsia).
Also, I rename Dalinsia every time I break her. It's such a fucking dumb name and not appropriate at all for a Nordheimer. The fucking devs are Norwegian, you'd think they could come up with good norse names.
>>2517035Exiles is just the game they bring out of their basement to shake its jiggly tits whenever they need money to recover from their other failures and mismanagements. It probably has the most skeleton crew possible working on it just to keep the Bazaar running.
>>2517066>their other failures and mismanagementsI had to laugh when they shamefacedly had to walk back their "hardline" stance of PvP being the endgame in Dune after Joel had gone on the record basically being every stereotype of the toxic PvP player ever.
>>2517096They walked that back so hard not only is their "exclusive PvP" map now exclusively PvE, they're allowing players to local host their own servers because the whole reason to deny that in the first place was to support their retarded PvP "Deep Desert" megaserver.
>>2516990Betcha it's all Tot!'s doing. I ain't had no troubles.
>out of nowhere they made the workshop look completely different somehow in the hour since I looked at it lastat least I got a good laugh from one of the uploads being picrel
>>2517127>I made a mod that does the same thing as reducing the crafting time in the server settings>just wanted to share lol>I also added a few weapons, but you shouldn't use them because they'll one-shot things
>>2517165To break the logic down, they need attention so they made something so simple its nearly useless outside of strange edge cases and since people obviously won't subscribe to it and the author needs the attention it adds overpowered bullshit too because thats easier to mod in than learning the skills to make sexy attire.
>>2517116after some troubleshooting, apparently its devious desires
>>2517300coomers btfo
I pirated this game to check it out, didn't even know it existed before the upgrade, and I've been thinking of buying it because I've been having a lot of fun going solo without mods even with the shitty foundation alignment and weird bugs, however I was able to get every mod I wanted to try (before the last update) with a downloader and whenever I read this thread I feel like giving funcom money is a terrible idea, am I missing out on anything if I don't enjoy pvp? Are the servers really that shit?
>>2517439servers are in fact. ultrashit. you will get lagfucked forever. ignore pvp. build your own little private singleplayer world
>>2517035She's Cimmerian though, not a snownigger despite the Snowhunter bit.
>>2517439The next time you start up your single player world, do the following to simulate the average online experience:>disable half of your mods>empty all of your crafting stations because a chinaman vibrated through your walls overnight and stole them or the server simply ate them for no reason at all>remove all of your thralls because they're dead>drop random foundations all around the perimeter of your base and on top of any nearby resources>imagine a morbidly obese man in a dress screaming at you because it thinks you're using too many decorations and supposedly lagging the server>if its been more than two days since you last played, just fucking delete your entire base altogether>finally, take a moment to consider the money you spent to experience this firsthandThat's what you're missing out on. Not all of them are like this - and you can definitely have fun with it at times - but this will be your typical experience playing on a PvP server.
i finally found her, can't believe how few non-purge npc female bladesmiths this game has.
do the big ones in the store stay up forever or will they change at some point? i was thinking of getting the glory of nordheim because the boobplate armor would look great on chieftain aslaug.
>>2517714It's not entirely clear. They re-did the cash shop for Enhanced, so it's new to everybody. It used to be everything in the shop had a countdown timer. Now, most of it doesn't. Does that necessarily mean forever? Who knows.
>>2517714All I want is to be able to buy one item from a bundle and not a whole bundle. I guess in theory every item will eventually cycle into the daily deal but who knows how long it'll take to get the specific stuff I want. There's a bookshelf in the rotation somewhere that snaps to walls unlike literally every other placeable in the game.
>>2517589Still terrible, "Dalinsia" is not in any way a Celtic name.
Jumpscared by the workshop UI update. It looks really bad, what are you doing Gaben
>>2517755no such thing as celtic. Cimmerians predate anything that could be considered "celtic" anyway, they come from around ukraine irl
>>2517904Cimmerians get Irish or Scottish names.
>>2517904It's Conan the Cimmerian, not Kostyantyn
>>2517921>>2517924https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CimmeriansThe point in Conan is that these are prehistory people
>>2517945The point in Conan is that this is a sword and sorcery setting only loosely based on real life history and a ton of racism
>Always Conan>Never KullAtlantis would've been an even more kino setting.
>>2517954yeah and no, yes it fiction and fantasy, thats not an argument.But its obviously heavily inspired by a bunch of pseudo history from the 20th and 19th century.Cimmerians were thought to have settled in western Europe in Britain.And that sort of fits with ancient migration theories of people migrating across the continent. So the point being Cimmerians migrated westward and were the ancestors of Britain.
>abscond from the savannah area with a rhino calf>chuck it in the taming pen, hyped to get an awesome rhino mount>Spawn it after it grows and its the size of an elephant>Make a saddle, it has no saddle slot>start googling how to mount the thingTurns out I managed to luck out and spawned one of the greater variants. Hopefully it'll at least hold up in combat.
So I've skimmed the thread on /v/ and decided to come to the source to ask: Isn't this game just WildLife, only with better gameplay but (much) worse porn? Why not "play" the latter if you're also partly a coomer and want to live that kind of experience? Or does it have an actual good gameplay that nice binds with everything?Please explain.
>>2518064please fuck off
>>2518064>please guys, play my hypergeneric pornslop survivalclone
>>2518064As far as I know WildLife is still in development hell and I'mm not sure if you can build cool bases in there.For me appeal of Conan is that I can make cool castles the way I want them to be in a low fantasy setting. It would be great If I could populate it with some monsters from Sipta and add custom behaviors to create a functioning arena or something, but it's good enough.
>>2518154Wild Life is a porn simulator with the thinnest veneer of a wink and a nod towards game mechanics. Conan Exiles is a survival crafting game with solid if janky combat that happens to have full nudity. The two cannot be compared.
>>2518064Wildlife has furries, Conan doesn't. That instantly makes Conan better.Only thing Conan needs is bestiality and demon sex mods.
>>2518154>>2518195Ok got it. So it's a construction/survival game with a desert barbarian theme and just some nudity added into it. Does it follow any story or is it purely a sandbox experience?
>>2518204There's story, but you have to actively seek it out. You won't be sent from one place to the other for the most part.There's Razma's journals, the Harlot's journals, the magical recordings left by the Giant Kings. The story scattered through the north is the saddest. Random smaller stories here and there too, through notes and journals.
Can any weapon mods be applied to shields at all?
I'm at the point where I'm supposed to do the ritual with Liu Fei, but he won't talk to me. He appears and keeps spamming me with voice lines, but when I try to interact with him, nothing happens. I've tried relogging, didn't help.
>>2518195>Wildlife has furries, Conan doesn't.You've got the demon bats, they're pretty furry. Serpent men are hiding in the volcano. Midnight Grove has a furry as the final boss. They aren't deviantart tier furry, but are still furry.>>2518204>Does it follow any storyThe most direct story you can follow is the staff quest; do the dregs, get the busted staff, and for Crom's sake read the item description because it tells you where to go next. That's the best you can hope for because the rest of the story bits you have to trip over.
>>2518204>>2518213>>2518517As much as I hate everything being compared to Dark Souls all the time it's a good comparison here. Lots of the world has some kind of backstory but if you don't seek out and analyze notes, npcs, ruins, statues, etc, you'll miss it.
Is there a 4chan server yet
>>2517955>mfw revenge for Kull's actions in Valusia is actually the motivating force behind the downfall of the Giant Kings and the current state of the Exiled lands.
>>2519088Forgot my face.
>>2518444Both companion questlines are super buggy. Some people have success leaving and doing Freya's quest, after which Liu Fei's magically works (or vice versa, if Freya's the one that's broken). Sometimes just waiting a day or two allows the whole quest to reset. If you're on your own server there's also admin commands to reset active quests, but those have never worked for me. Waiting is the only thing I've ever had success with.
>>2519094Keep in mind there's several times throughout each one where you have to wait for 8 hours between stages.
>>2519362I mean it, too. There's no way of bypassing the forced 32-40 hours of wait time other than constantly manually changing your pc's time/date, even in single player.Yes, it's retarded.
>Finished the main quest on the Exiled Lands last night>MultiChar just got its Enhanced update 2 days ago>I've never done SiptahDo I take my existing character over to Siptah and bulldoze it, or use MultiChar to make a new character and play through Siptah with them?
>>2519554Bulldoze Siptah, its progression is fucked. If you started a new character you'd just hop a cliff near the start area and grab black ice immediately anyway.
>>2519934>>2519554What is the progression for Siptah anyway? Last i visited i found the castaway camp but then got distracted by other things and never returned.
>>2519094>Freya's questI had a hell of a time trying to get the last part done, when she was controlled by the witch and i was fighting her she dashed off the cliff and didn't die, so when i finished her off down there it bugged the quest out and she poofed, i let her reset but something with the camp empty outside Angvar bugged her out also and never progressed it. So i had to relog and let the whole camp respawn before i could finally finish it.
>removed the ability to manage mods from the launcher>ability to skip the intro cutscenes is still fucking broken, and disabling them via text file just replaces them with 5 straight minutes of black screen>have to restart the game every time you adjust your mods meaning waiting through the 5 minutes of black screen again and again, especially when troubleshooting>bugs out and doesn't apply the changes you made to mod load order half the time
>>2520225Goddamn dude, it's not hard - you can skip the cutscenes when the game loads and normally it'd be during the nvidia logo but if you're using shit like fuckin' buildings sets or other big mods it'll take a while to load and even then it should only be until the very start of the fucking cinematic past all the studio cards. Are you still trying to run this on a fucking HDD or something?Just figure your shit out and click the goddamn mouse button.
Not that i want the game to become awash in piss paint or light tubes but at the same time i wish it was easier to spot when things are intractable, even when you get the little interact popup it can be hard to actually spot the journal or whatever to actually face and interact with it
>>2520347If you're solo and/or on a server with mods I cannot recommend Lore & Loot Highlight by Xevyr enough. Super simple mod. Adds a little outline to interactables (pic related). By default it highlights lore/story stuff and loot chests. I un-checked loot chests because I don't really care if I miss those, and that's basically it for set-up. To be honest basically all of Xevyr's stuff is good. Twin-Bar and Inventory Compactor are another two must-haves as far as I'm concerned.
>>2520417Ah that is really nice, ill grab that. Thanks anon.
>start crafting a set of armour>go to another workbench, queue up something else to craft>go back to armourer workbench>crafting queue is emptyThis is very aggravating.
>>2520480Queues frequently bug out. The ancient bug of dismantling benches breaking and ceasing to work at all is back.
>>2520491I notice craft buttons grey out constantly too and only become available again after clicking on a different recipe
>>2520480"Q" key is assigned to both "quickstack" AND "clear queue"
>decide to summon the bat to get over a cliff>start rising into the air>bat decides to just let go of me at randomvery cool feature
>>2520311It's on an SSD and people not being able to skip the intros is a well known bug shared by many
>>2517535>>2517699Ah I see, it does sound like a crappy time thanks for the warnings, normally I buy stuff I'm enjoying but these devs sound greedy and incompetent as fuk, are things like events I've seen mentioned exclusive to online? Do they work on a single player server? Not sure yet if they are like modified dungeons or random encounters, been playing around for a bit and just finished my first base that wasn't just crafting stations thrown around on a foundation spam , haven't even explored the north aside from bonking T3s on the walled nordhaimer townQq I gather there are bugs with the voice acting? I picked a journal or a note or something the other day and it started giving voicelines but that's the only one so far asíde from the giant kings stones, am I being retarded somehow?
>>2520417Fuck I wish I wasn't playing on official servers. I'm so fucking sick of getting a prompt to interact from 20 feet away and having nfi what it is or where it is.>is it a book in the grass>is it a random arrow just stuck in something>is it an entire tent or other random object you can learn the recipe for by just touching it>is it a fully narrated journal page entry>spend 10 fucking minutes looking around and find out!
>>2520803Bat is terribly afraid of cliffs, ledges, or being anywhere less than twenty feet off the ground. Speaking of bat, check out how far the game has come since alpha. In a weird sort of way, CE looked almost as good in alpha until they massively downgraded everything so they could port it to consoles.
>>2521077Top one looks better except along the staircase, it has better rock textures
>>2521077i fondly remember in Alpha that as soon as you entered the forgotten city you were getting corruption gassed. Which made it feel really hard, there was also more dragons in the open there.Thats one thing i didn't like how they made it less challenging for casuals. There was a much more satisfying you earned this feeling to the gameplay, its still there to an extent and i suppose you can tweak it a bit.
>>2521108UE4 CE could have looked a lot better if they just eased off the anti-soul gas stinking up the map, and gave it a proper lightsource so the sun wasn't just a giant wall of white fog.>>2521137Apparently, they planned on filling noob river with slaughterfish, which would have been pretty funny.
>mine rocks at snow and volcano areas>they turn into untextured messes>>2521208I'm pretty sure that a crocodile snapped at me while I was swimming in the noob river, never swam long distances after that.
The shackle wall in today's bazaar is shit unless as an erp tool, you can't even put your thralls on it, only players.
They really need to just make a sequel already.Bigger map, better bases and living thralls systems, better combat, better customization, better underlying code for mods.But I must ask the inevitable question: Is it even possible for a game like this to release today?
>>2521450I'm not sure why they can't just remaster a lot of the gameplay controls and physics. Its already in unreal engine 5, what are they going to do in Conan Exiles 2? Custom engine?I remember the climbing system didn't always exist and it works pretty well (except getting over the lips of things, it always pushes me back off for some reason) so they can actually add good things when their head is in proper development.
>>2521457I have a few points:>no patch can remove the 500 hours I've played it from my head. It's nearly a decade old now, and a game that heavily relies on exploration doesn't have a ton of replay value>progression and map design is completely fucked with random noobs just casually wandering into enemies that instakill them, or people finding gear on the ground that makes bothering with the next two or even three weapon/armor tiers pointless. Unless you consciously metagame by throwing out the amazing gear you find or hiding like a bitch from anything that looks remotely scary until you're max level and fully geared up, the game will be alternating between stupidly easy and infuriatingly hard half the time>BUGS, bugs fucking everywhere, corpses glitching out and becoming unusable, boss animations bugging out so you can't dodge their moves, t posing thralls, thralls falling through the world so often they added an ingame button to teleport them home, living settlement thralls having so many nav issues that lots of people just turn the system off entirely, endless bugs>regardless of how big the map is, it FEELS small. Maybe that's just because I played the shit out of it, but the fact that you can quite often see other biomes while you're exploring is a failure of game design 101, it's impossible to feel immersed exploring a dense jungle or northern forest when I can see a barren desert through gaps in the trees>combat is shit from a butt>thralls are far uglier than they should be for a game with so much eye candy and wish fulfillmentI feel like if they were able to just fix these things with updates, they would have done it already. They require a complete overhaul
>>2521481Everything you listed is fixable in the current engine if Funcom just allocated some manpower to it.>Exploration pointNew map, easy. Not a PvP map like Siptah, an exploration map>ProgressionTied into new map but the existing map needs its progression fixed and its not too difficult to do that, but as you pointed out, you can't just have the best shit dropping out of early areas.>BugsThere's always going to be some bugs though I'd like it if they at least made it so climbing out of the water in the dregs didn't make you levitate weird>Map feels smallThis may just be you because you've played it a ton, I wouldn't complain if they made it bigger though.>CombatA balance pass over the weapons and armor would help with this. There's never any reason to wear armor that isn't heavy and I think it should start there.>Ugly thrallsEhh. I use mods anyway so even if they weren't ugly I probably wouldn't notice.
>>2521510>the dregsYou can use slowfall to jump over the gaps in the dregs right before the spider without bothering with the puzzle by the way.
>>2521439>The shackle wall in today's bazaar is shit unless as an erp tool, you can't even put your thralls on it, only players.There is definately one you can stick thralls in, i've seen them all over our server at the various player run slave markets.Maybe you have to drag a freshly knocked out thrall directly do it like a wheel of pain?
I swear this game has the worst double jump I've ever experienced in a vidya.
lol stay mad
Surprisingly comfy
Finally maxed out sorcery today. NOW I can build.
So, any idea what causes this? Last time I got the issue, disabling a mod seemed to have fixed it.It's not just me either, my friend was getting it as well.Yes, we both are playing this on weak pc's. I've got a 2070, he's got a 2060. I got plenty of things turned down, as you can obviously see, but this only started happening after that big patch they did a few days ago. Seems to only happen when I'm high up and looking downish.
>>2521556>taking double jumpits not realistic it ruins muh immersion
black dragon archers are doing work with shortswords or katana. interestingly they seem to be able to mix it up when using a short sword and shield, swapping between shield attacks and sword attacks.
>>2521804What a diet of fried rice does to a man
>>2521828my little yamatai house for this pack of black dragon archer katana babes (I put them in agility weapon epic armour and transmog it into a cool black and gold khita merc outfit for fighting) is in a plains area of elephants, rhinos and tigers right next to a desrty bit with two dafari shitcunt settlements. so Down by their camps I built a sorcery prison of sacrifice stones and just went to town bonking them all unconcious with a club and dragging them back to the slabs to sacrifice for soul essence, corrupted my stats to 19 in each.but I highly recommend the BDA's since they seem to be all varieties of hot babes. i just turn one of them into a yamatai/khitan version of my sexy little blonde loli.
>>2521840Are the voices bugged for you too? For me every female voice has the pitch slider maxed out and they always sound like chipmunks.
>>2521869I got this bug for a little while, but in the opposite direction.Men had their pitch shifted to demonic depths. Thought maybe it was just the dudes around the Well being corrupted, but it wasn't.
>>2521450>better basesThey couldn't do it for Dune Awakening, what makes you think they could do it for a Conan sequel?
>>2521973Not him but Dune had slightly better snapping and half-walls (and curved corners), those alone are pretty good QoL building pieces I wish existed in every building set for Conan.
>hear that Devious Desires adds nipple piercings>oh shit I need that>it crashes my gameFug.
>>2521077>anti-soul gas to limit your view distance and save framesGreat, love it
>>2521996Idon't remember modding being this volatile with old Conan.Inflection must not care much for catering to mods.>>2522018>Anti-soulBegone, zoomerThat's pure soul restoration gas.
>>2521796the shield strikes are part of the heavy chain. heavy attack chains change based on what's in your off-hand (except for shortswords). shields get different stages than torch/open or throwing axes.
>>2521869For years voices were just completely broken. The foundation of this game has to be a place beyond mere spaghetti.
Bears are relatively good combat pets, right? Got a greater one and it's fucking massive.
>>2522570Ye and Honey is easy to get
>Pippi gets fixed for Enhanced Edition>Now every server I try to get into has gone back that that starting room bullshit with needed to log in to a discord and find a passwordOh my fucking god I hated this shit with the old game. I just want a decently modded server to try out builds in.Why the fuck is this the norm. If there are bad actors just give them a warning then the boot.
>>2522787The point is to make people join their groomer d*scord.
>>2522570>Bears are relatively good combat pets, right? Got a greater one and it's fucking massive.Probably in the top three pets, it doesn't deal as much damage as a sabretooth or the poison stacking insect things, but it's way fucking tankier, load that fucker up with honey and by the time it's level 10 it'll tank just about anything in the game, combine it with the perk that heals your pets when you do damage and by level 20 you're laughing.Pre-pet nerf it was *the* companion IMO. Now, thralls are better, but it's still pretty damn good.Only thing I would be careful of is getting stuck inside the thing, it loves to trap you in tight spaces.......fine in your own base where you can just move it and tell it to stand guard out of the way, but if you're in an enemy camp where you can't place it and you can't issue a move order, you'll need a friend to get it to follow them or you're fucked (I highly recommend the mod that removes collision from companions if you run your own server/SP). So set the follow distance to like 20m to try and stop it from sitting on you.
>find a nice spot to build a base>go into solo creative mode to plan it out>start building>suddenly get a message that I can't build in an occupied area>there's nothing there>completely unable to build in that directionIs there something invisible in the circular clearing on the border between D11 and C11, just SW of Bjornar's Stand?
gameplay settings recommendations for single player?
Do you need to build structures of certain materials in especially hazardous climates? Like, do you have to use higher tier stuff in the snowy regions to not freeze to death indoors?
better pets enhanced when?
>>2523479The game's finicky about claiming land near npc/dungeons/quest sensitive objects. If your just playing singleplayer make yourself admin and change the server setting to "build anywhere." Should be a checkbox.
>>2523520Crafting cost to .5Thrall taming to .1NPC respawn to 10.Get the reduced boss health modYou really don't need anything else besides those.
>>2524106>If your just playing singleplayerSadly no, private server with a couple of friends and we don't want to mess around with changing too much.
>big natural cave called The CreviceI may have to build up a cavern fortress and make it a big ol' Derketo cultist lair, the name is just too perfect.
>>2522787speak to me not of trooncord I want no part.
>>2523882yeah but i think they nerfed the point of everything, not sure if they reverted it. Used to be you actually needed warm clothesBtw if anyone knows what mod reverted that and added the snowstorm counterpart to the sand storm and added the demon cats to the sandstorm like the intro
welp. that ends my playthrough it seems.siptah seems to have black holes on the map. I walked around, exploring, and as soon as I got to walking on a bit of the map, CTD and now the game won't even load into my save
>>2523468>pet-nerfGod don't remind me. The whole damn thing came about because it was the initial stage in them overhauling pets so they nerfed them into the ground and then they just didn't do it. It happens a lot with them. It's currently year 16 of them overhauling AoC's crafting system.
>>2524250Sure hope it's on singleplayer because doing that shit anywhere online will get you either banned or your shit deleted. Private AND official.
>>2525179Private with two friends I've been gaming with forever, they'd naturally have full access.
>>2525172This makes me wonder sometimes if there's ways to backup the server. There should be right?Also would that multicharacter mod work for fixing your character?
>>2525207nope, cannot even get INTO the game. hard crashes.I think some event enemy escaped containment, because i was walking to this tower thingy, found something called a leyline shrine. then i saw my first every foals, so Ichased them down and caught them, I was really close to some funky tower thingy a Surge? had finished at? but anyhoo, I heard some noise, turned around, and this tiny little bright green spider monster was attacking me, and then PFFFT, crash. I think it might have been some monster spawned by the tower event thingy that somehow pathed out of its area or some shit and now its broken the game?
I am really annoyed too. I just finished building my first base/house too on siptah. I found a neat little lake that was pictureasque so I built a giant argossean pad, so i could build a roman style inside out house, with a nice internal foyer/verandah. and the actual house all around the 'outside' edge of the pad. I even had a nice little rear 'deck' out onto over the lake at the rear where the House hoouse was, with both 'side' parts being full of rooms for crafting, a little double airlock entrance way into the centre area, where i have a Pub, smelters, and generally shit to do and hang out, chairs and tables etc. gotta keep the riffraff away from my thralls at the rear of the 'house' the actual house.
>>2525207>>2525229Backups ought to be in the Conan Exiles/ConanSandbox/Saved folder. There'll be one file named "game.db" (that's the file the game actually looks at) and a bunch of files named "game_backup_1.db," game_backup_2.db," etc. Just move the current game.db out of the folder and rename one of the backups from before the issue happened to "game.db" and poof, the save is rolled back. You're only really screwed if you're playing on console, in which case I'm sorry Anon.
>>2525272ah. nice. will try that later and report back
>>2525272Nice, time to savescum
>>2524737If you're thinking of SandstormEx you're in luck, because it literally got ported to Enhanced like five hours ago:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3734898593SnowstormEx hasn't got its port yet, but the mod author posted last week saying he's making progress with it and it's on the way.
Steam workshop is being flooded by slop mods suddenly. The laziest shit too like increasing thrall count as though that couldn't be done in server settings.
>>2525879Every game with even a moderately popular modding scene is being inundated with slopmods.
>>2525805sankyuu anon
it's the fucking tower. I can't play siptah because it hard crashes the game. get to close to the big tower thing and my game ultra crashes forever.i literally JUST got done on a NEW fucking save, rebuilding my lake house (20 x 20) roman style inside out house, a prison for thrall breaking, and went wandering looking for people to bonk with my bitches.
>>2526040Have you tried verifying files and/or going there on a fresh save, without mods?
>>2526040Have you tried disabling the storm? Maybe its an effects thing?
Editing the modlist.txt is a lot easier than constantly relaunching the game just to enable or disable mods.
>>2526040Siptah had random crash points for a long time in old Conan.My friend and I couldn't do anything at the Isle of Dusk for it and they basically said there would be no fix.
>>2526167I notice it doesn't always respect the load order I give it though, though that isn't usually a big deal other than making sure ToT is at the bottom.
The Dungeon Delver Journey is pretty fucked. The Sunken City is so much easier compared to Well of Skelos that preceded it in the journey. If you don't count how easy it is to drown there anyway.
>>2521681Nobody else seen any issue like this before?Still wondering what it could even be, if it's not a mod issue.
>>2527753Sorry to say, no. I have about 400 hrs and have never seen it. If i was to take a casual guess, I would assume it's a driver error or a gpu issue, but I'm not sure. All I know is I've never had it happen to me.
>>2527930Suspecting a glitch up in whatever processes happen as Conan is launched. Some launches are clean and I never see it.The way me and my friend both got it, idk. I'll be trying some things when I get up tonight though, testing.
>>2527040Yeah it's not really presented in order of difficulty. Dregs through Well of Skelos represent the "main quest" dungeons that were present at launch. As they added more dungeons post-release, they just kind of stapled them to the end of the list like "hey, go explore these too!"For what it's worth, my first playthrough I didn't die in Well of Skelos but died in the Sunken City twice because I'm a huge moron:>Surely they don't cut it this tight with the underwater segments. I'll make it to the next above-water area before drowning (I drowned).>Earlier in this very same dungeon I was asked to jump from a cliff and I was fine. Surely I'm supposed to leap down this hole to the boss area (you're supposed to platform down; I splatted).
>>2527753No, it looks like a display driver problem. The resolution fell to minimum, window zeroed out its coordinates probably and the weird streaks radiating from each edge are typical of those kinds of errors because it has nothing else to display and its not going into windowed mode.None of what I said actually helps you because who knows why it happened, verify the files, update your drivers and make sure your gpu is properly seated.
Beast thralls are pretty garbage. I trained up a hyena, a croc, and now finally a rocknose and only the hyena was marginally decent, but they were all worse than just having a normal thrall.
>finally find a t4 performer out in the wild>maleThanks but no thanks.
>>2528366If I remember correclty the cat thralls were excellent in pvp for the knockdown.
>>2528366Beasts are best early and mid-game where they're easy to get, level fast, and can act as pack mules without being as weak as a bearer thrall. The alpha hyena I tamed an hour after starting fresh is obviously a chump compared to the t4 warriors in star metal gear I have now but he's not so bad that he can't still pull his weight since ultimately nothing in this game is that particularly difficult.
>>2528371I dress the male performers in white dyed fully covering armors and treat them as purity-aura cleansing paladins instead of homoerotic dancers. The game mechanic is just a cleanse and there's no reason to put him in gay slutwear and make him dance for you.
>>2528366The cats are decent as >>2528430 says, the sabretooth in specific is tanky enough to hold up, but if you want an animal companion you'll probably want a bear.
>>2528617The Cimmerian dance is just the Halling, which is as non-sexually charged as these things get.
>>2528643Even better, they don't actually have to dance at all. "Entertainer" is just the name of the designated corruption-cleansing thrall-type. They dance as a default animation but you can park them in any emote you want. There's nothing saying you can't have them guarding your transportory stones in Silent Legion armor or dressed in cultist gear working at a thaumaturgy bench nearby. Mechanically they just have an anti-corruption aura.
I found the cause of my SIPTAH woes! its the fucking maelstrom thingy / surge and the ?asteroid? showers? THEY crash my game IF i am near them.
How far away do you have to build to not block the spawn of mobs/NPCs? I found a very nice spot for my base, but there's a skeleton key dropping bear nearby, and I don't want to ruin that.
>>2529466Last I checked it was 10 foundation blocks by default. You can also lower the land claim radius yourself in the server settings, if you're the admin.
>>2529489It's on a friend's private server, I'll talk to him about the land claim thing if it becomes an issue, but 10 blocks shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the info!
I'm thinking about finally trying this game in multiplayer. Probably a public server first then I'll look around for a private one.I'm worried it'll ruin how I feel about the game though. As it is right now Conan Exiles is somewhat of a comfort game that I like to boot up from time to time, sometimes even when sick, and just build stuff and enjoy thrall bosoms. There are other survival/crafter games I've played online and I won't ever return to because the people I met (usually on associated discord servers) all left a very bad taste in my mouth afterwards that unfortunately colored how I feel about the games that were involved.
Is there a good armour set that gives +strength weapon damage and +follower damage?
>>2529593Yeah, this is why I only play on a private server with a couple of friends I've been playing together with for literal decades. Conan does comfy really well, but randoms can shit that up real quick.
>Searching through the pile of recipes at the artisan bench>See that I can craft Turanian Artisan Bench, Nemedian Artisan Bench, etc>Surely the devs had decided to make it so the specific cultural benches filter the furnishings by their culture>Its just a cosmetic skin for the crafting tableThis isn't just the artisan stuff, why is everything sorted in the worst way?
>>2528188>Surely I'm supposed to leap down this hole to the boss area (you're supposed to platform down; I splatted).Kek, years of Souls games conditioned me to go down platform by platform. Then every time I'm healing up on each platform because holy fuck why do you place them just high enough to incur 20% HP damage each time, the spawn of Dagon keeps hurrying me.
>>2530098Before the devs overhauled the building system each artisan bench did craft that cultures specific stuff, then they changed it because fuck you Funcom that's why.>>2529593I've had overwhelmingly great experiences on official PVE servers. People tend to be super helpful and friendly etc The only real downside is areas like mounds of the dead tend to be a bit crowded with builds.>>2529466>How far away do you have to build to not block the spawn of mobs/NPCs?It use to be 10ish, but in Enhanced I suspect it's way closer than it use to be, especially with resources. My guess is it's somewhere between 5-10 foundations for mobs (keep in mind you can't actually see where exactly the spawn point for the mob is), 1-2 for resources. Just throw down some foundations, kill the bear and see if it respawns.You could even build a cage over the bear and incorporate it into your base design.
>>2528366>Beast thralls are pretty garbage. I trained up a hyena, a croc, and now finally a rocknose and only the hyena was marginally decent, but they were all worse than just having a normal thrall.Those are all pretty much basic bitch noob river or sinkhole pets.Greater Sabretooth, Sand Reaper Queen, Greater Bear or Siptah Dogs can handle everything in the game.
>>2530615Does his eyes glow ingame or just for the thumbnail? I know there's a lot of fantasy elements in Conan but I always felt it leaned more towards grounded dark fantasy or primeval fantasy and not flashy bullshit.
>>2530635>and not flashy bullshitBro, have you seen the weapon trails? This isn't "Conan", this is "Conan Exiles, by Funcom"
>>2530635>Does his eyes glow ingame or just for the thumbnail?Only the Greater variants have glowing eyes, they're meant to be be pets of the Gods or some shit.
>>2530615>>2530711As a worshipper of Derketo and Jhebbal, I'm glad to learn of this guyI'll have to find him soon...
>>2530615I lost mine to a Reaper Queen
continuing to expand exileville with additional living space for all the useless thralls I have lying around.
The devs really took the adage "It's always darkest before dawn" literally. It really gets noticeably darker just before dawn.
>>2531202>moon peaks out ever so slightly from behind a cliff>goes from pitch black to too bright to even bother pulling out a torch in half a secondThe lighting in Enhanced is all over the place.
>>2531093Lookin' good.>>2531202>>2531286Enhanced has this weird phenomenon where light sources are brighter after a certain point during twilight and dim during the day, which is probably why the moon seems too bight. There's a period just before daybreak where lights enter their dimmed state, but direct sunlight hasn't illuminated the map, so everything is extra dark.
>>2531093Is there a size limit for living thralls ai or will they just travel forever so long as there are structures?>>2531202>>2531286I ended up just making the day/night cycle twice as long. It's just goofy how fast it goes, especially when the living thralls system is supposed to give everyone their own routine. In my moderately large base, with the time it takes for my worker thralls to reach their rooms, they're in bed for not even a minute before they wake up again.
>>2531093Good. Good. Let the build 'tism flow through you.
Little Tundra base, that whole area is super pretty in Enhanced. Also I literally cannot stop using Nemedian building set pieces no matter what I'm trying to build. The set is too good.
>>2532485That's all Nemedian? Dang, that works really well in that biome.
>>2532506Almost all of it--the little brown corner trim pillars are Vanir Cabin and the first layer of foundation blocks for the buildings (almost invisible in that screenshot) is Arena, but otherwise it's just Nemedian. It's by far my favorite build set. Even Funcom seems to know it, since the best Bazaar items always seem to match it (the bookshelf this Anon is talking about >>2517726 is the Nemedian Library Bookcase).
Speaking as someone who bought a whole bunch of the building sets, I am pisses off, because most of them purposefully CUT OUT the vaulted ceilings and other options feom their sets to put in the bazaar shit instead, so you dont actually GET the full set, whilst Nemedian comes with more, as does argossean, than the others. Having to gwt bazaar shot to complete a dlc set is fucking ASS and uncomfortable should have hot pokers jammed in their balls and up their jacksoes for being such cunts
>>2532802I think its more that they expanded the sets later on with things we now take for granted, and those expansions ended up on the cash shop.They could be cheaper though especially since modders can fill in those gaps easily enough for free.
>>2532816Arena also has nice smooth stone caukted ceilings. I am going to have to make a little town like >>2532485 made back on the main map, since Siptah's story shit crashes my game. I'll give every crafting its own house and bedroom etc.
>>2531093Where is this? I've been looking for a decent sized place to build that's still in the desert. That bridge looks really good. What did you use for the cobble road?
>>2528188cool trick is you can get water breathing masks just up the coast from killing pirates to do the sunken city
>>2532944nta but I don't think there are rivers that wide outside of the start area, so I'd skim down the noob river in creative mode/flight, probably wouldn't take too long to find it.
>playing on an official pvp server>3 days in>big ugly house in the Highlands near the big nordheimer settlement>no one has raided my shit yetusually I've gotten upset and quit the game by now because someone decided to destroy my shit...
>>2534012>playing pvpBut why.
excellent. my little village is set up. at teliths little islandthingy, I have a lovely white and golden argossean/aquilonian "roman" house which looks down upon my neat little nemedianvillage. it has one of everything at least, with a room for those thralls to sleep when they rest from their labours.you can ensure your houses all stay aligned to each other, no matter how you spread them out, by making a line away from a building in foundations and then destroying them when you lay the foundation for the next house.
>>2534025for the dangerbut no one has done anythingI haven't even seen another player yet, despite it being one of the only official pvp servers on the US side that gets up to the 40 players...

>>2534053As much as I love the Nemedian style it really feels out of place in Conan's setting. The Poltain stuff too which is even more out of order, because its all medieval platemail outfits for jousting but they've decided that Aquilonian (which Poltain is a sub-region of) should be a greco-roman style architecturally.

>huge miniboss template NPCs comes to my tavern>can't speak to them
>>2534192try quitting and then getting back in. tavern npc's are glitchy as fuck. you'll need like 500? gold coins to hire good thralls though.
>>2534200The game fucking throws gold coins at you, that shouldn't be a problem if you play at all.
>>2534200I think not all NPCs that come to the tavern are meant to be hire-able? In my experience I can only speak to like 20% of tavern guests, most of the time T1-3 losers.
>>2534025I like to cosplay as a gigantic dafari retard and just rush at people naked and be a nuisance while having nothing of actual value on me ever.I'm like the random blue enemies in poe/diablo you come across occasionally, not particularly notable but more of a threat than the trash you've been sawing through.
What's the easiest way to get fragments of power before level 60? I'm trying to unlock transportery stones.
>>2534596Undead bosses in Unnamed City are pretty squishy, bring a couple of thralls with some heavy armour and they'll keep it busy while you poke it in the arse.
>>2534618I'm ultra-squishy as well, and my zombies get popped before I can kill them. I'm only level 45.20 agi, 20 auth, 5 grit so far...
>>2534623>zombiesAre they at least named (t4) thralls?
>>2534671No... just some T2/3 fighters I bushwacked from a nearby dafari camp...Have they changed how zombies work from when I last played in 2023?
>>2522214The new devkit already crashed twice for me and I never seen it crash mid use before
>Don't play for a couple weeks because I was busy>Now the game just fucking ctds before it can reach the menuWhat the fuck did those jeet slopcoders fucking do.
>>2534828Ended up finding the problem.Apparently the devkit fucked up some guy's ability to update his workshop, so he had to make a new version of the mod and the old one got removed.But I don't know how the fuck that caused the ctding before the menu, seeing as Primal Instincts got removed before because of the screenshots and it still worked fine until they removed all the example screenshots and it was made available again.
>>2534596>>2534623>What's the easiest way to get fragments of power before level 60? I'm trying to unlock transportery stones.Unless something has changed Relic Fragment Chests are the absolute easiest way to get them, no need to fight anything.You can look up a map of where they all are if you want, otherwise just explore around the Unnamed city.https://conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Relic_Fragment?
Apparently there's a shit ton of Vendhyan items and building pieces in the item lists now. Sure hope it means it's being released as a full cultural DLC rather than being chopped up and sold piecemeal on the bazaar.
>>2535137looking at it, it's a building set, 3 sets of armor, weapons, and placeables. For now it's got a mix of aquilonian and turanian icons and the items understandably can't be spawned. I really, really fucking hope they decide to sell it as a DLC.
>>2532944directly next to the big sentinel statueshere's a very, very early pic of my base for reference, you can see the north one in the background.
for me? it's the riverside near the Hand in the desertone of my favorite base spots
>>2535137What items? I'm not seeing any.
>>2536440it'd be in the admin menu
>>2535945Thanks dude. Last time I played I based in the highlands, which are really pretty but I kinda missed the desert vibe after a while. I even missed the sandstorm, it adds a very specific vibe of seeing it roll through.
>>2535418>first culture set in years>might not be shoved into the bazaar>it's Vendhyan
>>2536594What culture set would you want then?
I don't know why but Conan Exiles is the only one of the 'survival' type games that's ever hooked me into playing it for a decent amount of time.I got lucky getting it for free one time when I had playstation plus.If only funcom would fix the fucking LAG.
>>2536600NTA but I've wanted a Shadizar Palace set since the game was released. So I guess it'd be Zamoran but whatever they were thinking about when they designed Conan the Destroyer instead of whatever Funcom thinks about when they think about Zamora
Built the second (and most substantial) defensive wall around my city. I love putting palisades on top of guard towers but they're so fucking expensive to make, so I'm going to grind that out later.>>2536588>I even missed the sandstorm, it adds a very specific vibe of seeing it roll through.the sandstorm is cool as fuck. I don't remember this being a thing in legacy exiles (probably was just me being inobservant), but I've noticed that the sky goes overcast for a while before the sandstorm forms, which is supposed to be a warning mechanic in the game, but is also cool because it creates a sense of dread and suspense as you sit around and wait to see it crest over the mountains.
>>2536696>Walled villageI'm doing a similar build closer to the ruined highway but I keep drawing a blank on how to decorate the insides of the gatehouses and various wall towers. I've settled on first floors being armories (or customs/storage if gatehouses) and second ones being barracks but top floors I'm out of ideas and they tend to be really sparse.
>>2536716I'm really lazy. I'm just going to fill the interiors with clutter like pots and crates, and then I'm going to put palisades and war banners on the roof. My plan was to use the little fort in the upper right as the central barracks for the grug police force as well as treasury and armory (central location for storing legendaries that I slowly doll out to thralls I like), but its design conflicts with the new wall and tower design so I might tear it down and rebuild a new fort in the unoccupied south west corner of my city.
>Egyptian First Dynasty and mythological Greeks are the dominant forces in the world>also, there's Arthurian knights with plate armour for some reasonU wot m8. Were they added by other authors after Howard's death?
>>2537078The Conan setting has turned into kind of a shared world, like Lovecraft's Mythos(which also makes an appearance in Conan).
>>2537078There was always an anachronistic nature to the stories which you can get from just the way he describes the way people are armored like Black Colossus."IN THE EARLY haze of dawn the streets of Khoraja were thronged by crowds of people who watched the hosts riding from the southern gate. The army was on the move at last. There were the knights, gleaming in richly wrought plate-armor, colored plumes waving above their burnished sallets. Their steeds, caparisoned with silk, lacquered leather and gold buckles, caracoled and curvetted as their riders put them through their paces. The early light struck glints from lancepoints that rose like a forest above the array, their pennons flowing in the breeze. Each knight wore a lady's token, a glove, scarf or rose, bound to his helmet or fastened to his sword-belt. They were the chivalry of Khoraja, five hundred strong, led by Count Thespides, who, men said, aspired to the hand of Yasmela herself.They were followed by the light cavalry on rangy steeds. The riders were typical hillmen, lean and hawk-faced; peaked steel caps were on their heads and chain-mail glinted under their flowing kaftans. Their main weapon was the terrible Shemitish bow, which could send a shaft five hundred paces. There were five thousand of these, and Shupras rode at their head, his lean face moody beneath his spired helmet."
>>2537153cont"Close on their heels marched the Khoraja spearmen, always comparatively few in any Hyborian state, where men thought cavalry the only honorable branch of service. These, like the knights, were of ancient Kothic blood—sons of ruined families, broken men, penniless youths, who could not afford horses and plate-armor, five hundred of them.The mercenaries brought up the rear, a thousand horsemen, two thousand spearmen. The tall horses of the cavalry seemed hard and savage as their riders; they made no curvets or gambades. There was a grimly business-like aspect to these professional killers, veterans of bloody campaigns. Clad from head to foot in chain-mail, they wore their vizorless head-pieces over linked coifs. Their shields were unadorned, their long lances without guidons. At their saddle-bows hung battle-axes or steel maces, and each man wore at his hip a long broadsword. The spearmen were armed in much the same manner, though they bore pikes instead of cavalry lances."
>>2537153>>2537159"At first glance the amazed watchers seemed to be looking down upon a glittering sparkling sea of bronze and gold, where steel points twinkled like a myriad stars. With the lifting of the fog the invaders had halted as if frozen, in long serried lines, flaming in the sun.First was a long line of chariots, drawn by the great fierce horses of Stygia, with plumes on their heads—snorting and rearing as each naked driver leaned back, bracing his powerful legs, his dusky arms knotted with muscles. The fighting-men in the chariots were tall figures, their hawk-like faces set off by bronze helmets crested with a crescent supporting a golden ball. Heavy bows were in their hands. No common archers these, but nobles of the South, bred to war and the hunt, who were accustomed to bringing down lions with their arrows.Behind these came a motley array of wild men on half-wild horses — the warriors of Kush, the first of the great black kingdoms of the grasslands south of Stygia. They were shining ebony, supple and lithe, riding stark naked and without saddle or bridle.After these rolled a horde that seemed to encompass all the desert. Thousands on thousands of the war-like Sons of Shem: ranks of horsemen in scale-mail corselets and cylindrical helmets—the asshuri of Nippr, Shumir and Eruk and their sister cities; wild white-robed hordes—the nomad clans."
>>2537078>>2537105>>2537153>>2537159>>2537257I liked the interpretation of this level of tech as being a kind of pseudo roman, higher fantasy than usual sure, but it helps smooth over the anachronistic clashing and it seems the various media depictions (pic related) prefer that interpretation too.Its only Funcom that drops in late medieval plate armor and architecture without really thinking about it.
>>2537383Yeah. The 'plate armour' should be coat of plate and jack plated coats. And brigantine.
>>2537383I have those comics. Black Horse's 'Conan the Cimmerian' run was the shit with Tomas Giorello's art and Lisner did a ton of great covers for it.
>>2537434*dark horse. Still, they're the tits
>>2537434They were the very best comics, the later ones all fall short in some way or another. But for this particular Dark Horse version everything aligned perfectly.
>>2537434BD. have you seen the french BD's of conan and elric etc. that's fucking art.
>>2537531What's BD?
>>2537536Ban Desinee? or some shit. french comics, maily produces as what would be called a trade paperback, graphic novel or omnibus in the rest of the west. ranges from calvin and hobbes shit, asterix and obelisk stuff.... to something way, way better.muira? who did berserk manga in japan, he's actually more known there not for some manga faggotry like beserk, but for the graphic novel installments he did of MUSASHI. he adapted the story of musashi into the volumes of fucking japanese ink and brush watercolour PAINTING artwork 'comics'. the art is eye-wateringly fucking beautiful and each volume sells for a shitload they're THAT fucking good.THAT is the shit that "BD" does COMMONLY for french shit. there are some really, really fucking utterly gorgeous series of conan and elric BD books running / ran over recent years.western comics are in fact, not dead, its just the french doing it, not marvel or DC.
>>2537536you want 'Conan the cimmerian" from Grafica .. 2018? utterly wonderful books. in english its 'the cimmerian' from ablaze?"elric" again by glenat just like 'the cimmerian'if you want comics to be good again, THATS the shit to support, because they're awesome.
>>2537536alsoTakehiko Inoue: The manga Vagabondthis shit will blow your fucking mind. DUDE fucking painted everything. EVERYTHING.
>>2537569>glenatJust looked it up, this is the exact one I was referring to >>2537489 here when I said later ones fall short. The art in what you're recommending is like someone ripped off Penny Arcade poorly and Conan behaves like a common black street thug. The art also seems very shy when it comes to nudity though that's less of a big deal.I also get an impression of laziness in a lot of the panels. I'm sure its for someone but if that is the direction of "good comics" for the future, I'll pass and stick to old Dark Horse collections from before the mid-2010s.
>>2537599Forgot pic. Same comic has a sex scene with Belit where she's smooth as a barbie doll.
>>2534012pvpers just go new server to new server, grind to max, farm explosives, and after 1-3 bases you probably get enough end game shit to fill 4 vaults and bomb out the beach, jungle, mounds, hollow arrow caves, and terrorize the river areas.i prefer duel arenas but lots of console kids play this game as their only tiddy game and act like the typical rust kids when their friend is losing a 1v1.
>>2537621Yeah, you can't beat Giorello
>>2537688Comics really do live and die by the quality of the art in them

So is there a dragon in the noob desert or did they just put the SFX in to scare noobs? I know I was constantly looking around every time there was a roar back when I just started.
>>2537848Its just a sound effect usually, the real ones don't make noise until you initiate combat with them and most of them are at the bottom of the stairs in the SW corner of the Unnamed City.
>>2535137>Sure hope it means it's being released as a full cultural DLC rather than being chopped up and sold piecemeal on the bazaar.lollmfao

>>2537078>>2537383i like the medieval plate because of how its a lost age, so theres implications past ages had advanced armour smithing that was lost, also the inhuman beings of the world are more advanced than us, like the ancient dude in the keep
>>2538626There is a cultural aspect to armour styling as well though, it isn't always form following function (though that is still dominant), for instance the conquistador helmets in some of the more modern sets ingame. That also clashes somewhat even if Zingara is meant to be primeval hyboria spain.
I haven't played since 2023, why the FUCK can't I use a pickaxe on crystal anymore?
>>2540994You can, just not every node.You couldn't in 2023 either, I don't remember it working 100% of the time at any stage of the game's history actually, it only worked on some of them.Anyway just get sorcery and magic up all the crystals, its easier and you won't have to go back to the cave again for a long time.
When I'm in creative mode, if I make myself admin and use use Ghost mode to fly, why can I suddenly not connect any building pieces? Being able to float around would make it so much easier to build.
>>2541124You don't need ghost mode. Just enter creative mode and double jump to automatically fly. Repeat to lose flight.
>>2541174not him but sometimes I want to connect a support column in a hard to reach place without destroying floors and walls
>>2541005It doesn't work on ANY node in the noob grotto no matter what angle or crystal I try.
>>2541189Works for me, but like usual its not every node, just some of them
>>2541331I guess I'll just chalk it up to "enhanced" edition being more buggy than a chinese buffet.
We need thin internal walls. That is all I wanted to say. Internal walls so not every building interior is a big open communal space.
>>2541632Khitan. Dude. Read up the thread.. All the walls are already too thin. It's why you need to use 'corner pillars' to thicken them enough to give them the appearance of thickness to the point of providing any load bearing capacity at all.
Why the fuck won't it let me build triangle pieces on top of the triangle pieces here?
Haggard manjawed women probably suits the harsh setting, but I'm still extremely grateful for Face-It. I still wish there were more (hot) face mods for Enhanced though.
>>2542537All the faces on that mod look autistic though, do you have screens of any in it that'd make it worth the download?
i dont know the intricacies of thralls, and i know hes not an s tier, but i like him anyways.
>they just released a new devkit while also announcing that all mods need to be reupdated for next week's new updateFUCK
>>2542683>Thrall Power LevelsBeastmaster Teimos is rank 1390 in some random modder's tierlist where he autistically broke down all those stats.But you've got the thrall at a decent amount of health, the only thing you really need to care about now is the ranged or melee damage multiplier to figure out whether to give him a bow or an agility-melee weapon.But I think in the end the answer is always a one handed mace anyway because of the attack animations and the stagger.
feeling inspired to create an observatory, ran into some problems with the central tower but i think i'll deal with it later.
>>2543155I like that building set but I feel it lacks versatility
>>2542786currently he's equipped with a legendary spear. Im playing solo modded, so min/max isnt really an issue for me. the thrall stats and usage is very interesting to me however.
>>2543923Thralls spam the shit out of light attacks, so you want to use a weapon that has a good light attack combo. Spear pokes are very underwhelming and have no forward momentum whatsoever.
>Well Trained Thrall>War Party 2 Thralls>Well Trained 3x Zombie>War Party 4x Zombie>War Party 2x GolemWhich is strongest for PvE?Pic unrelated.
Alright so I have hundreds of hours in singleplayer, never touched mods or anything. What works for SP?
>get the Nordheim set, thinking the Vanir Cabin material is like a proper log cabin>it's just shitty stacked thin sticks>the inside is even worse, looks like some kind of basket weaving textureI just want a comfy Nordic log cabin, man.
>>2544410Slightly situational. Well Trained zombies used to be the most broken build in the game. I presume it was fixed, so I'll skip over that. Between WT thrall and WP thrall, there is a much higher potential output from the WT, mostly because you add +80% damage yourself just through stat, plus T4 armorer +follower damage gear and similar potion will numerically outdo two followers without that, and that's before WT adds its 20 pts of STR/AGI damage and VIT and GRIT toughness. In general, WT is the obvious option.There are two ways WP has an advantage. First, two bodies means double the swings and staggering, as well as split attention in a crowd. In comparison, WT single could end up just stun-locked when mobbed up on. Second, diversity. You can have your traditional tough kitted thrall and, say, a locust queen to stack poison and super poison onto a boss target. Two queens would be meaningless since there's a stack limit, while one WT and one in WP output nearly same dps in terms of poison. The former point on WP is my main reason for always taking that. A super thrall getting stunlocked is useless, while two do better at crowd clearing and giving stunlocks. Also, although you didn't mention it as an option, corrupted authority up to 19 is even stronger with WP. The Frenzy buff is a thrall buff, not your own stat, so they both still get +57% damage. Since buffs are additive, I don't know if that makes them theoretically numerically better than WT, but it certainly bridges the difference while keeping their advantages.
>>2544898Okay then, can you mix a pet and a thrall, a golem and a thrall, 3 zombies and a thrall, or 3 zombies and a golem with WP? Theoretically the last 2 would be numerically superior with 19 corrupted.
>build beautiful and elaborate temple to Derketo>update changes the level of the terrain so half the floor has dirt rising through it nowWhat the fuck
>>2544982Pet/thrall/golem mixing is fine, but zombies are weird due to their bonus numbers. IIRC, you can't mix with a thrall past your thrall limit, so WP would only allow 1 thrall and 1 zombie, already less than the default 3 zombies without WP. It's been a long time though, so maybe that's changed or I'm misremembering.
>>2541786This is an ancient bug that's never been fixed and I have no idea what causes it.Try putting a stone triangle there and see if it places. If it does, you can then just place the one you're wanting.
You know, I'm actually really glad that the nemedian set (the stone walls) is darker since the update. I used to stick to only the roof and floor pieces because I thought the stone was too bright and didn't mesh well with most stuff, but now I'm digging it much more.
>>2545113Has anyone tested that recently?
>>2541786Ive had this happen a lot with random pieces. The solution is usually to build around the piece you want, exit out of build mode, go back in, then it should let you place what you want
>just spent the past 3 hours farming iron/coal/stone/wood>upgraded my rather large house into full insulated wood>upgraded my Derketo shrine building into full stonebrick>want to make more steelfire but I dont have anymore brimstonefuck it, I'll get brimstone tomorrow
>>2544736>some kind of basket weaving textureNearly all the wooden building sets have that basket-weaving texture on the inside except the asian ones.I'd love a set that was just the inside face of reinforced stone walls but on both sides.
What's with the lack of discount on the new bazaar rotations? The shitty table yesterday was almost ten dollars, and today's gibbet is the same. The prices were bad to begin with even when they were doing market trickery to discount down from even higher absurdities.
>>2545491harvesting with sorcery is so nice. get there ASAP
I think I understand the appeal of this game after picking it up again.
>>2546255I saw a named NPC who was roughly this size when I encountered it. When I killed it, the corpse was normal sized though. I don't have any mods installed that would do that.
>>2546190They need the money for their next PvP flop.
>new mod release already dried up>they just released a new devkit to go with next week's update further delaying the release of any new mods
>>2546831I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, that there aren't mod updates and releases now?The devkit has a batch file in it that lets you launch it without updating it, modders aren't locked into an update unless they're stupid.
>>2546255Hot.
started a new game and the shared base inventory thing isn't working anymore, how do I fix that?
>>2547299The range is really short, you sure its not that?
>>2547299ah, a follower of Mooooooooooork
>>2547299Kali-mooooooooooo! Kali-moooooooooooooo!
How do you rename a base? Mod only?
>>2547299The default range on shared storage is actually pretty low. If you're using a mod to increase that range, make sure you're keeping pic related in mind. Planters, weapon racks, and things like Fashionist displays all have shared storage on by default so disable sharing on those off if you haven't already.>>2548098Rename your Transportory Stone.
What's the lore on the Forgotten Tribe? I know that they think they're in Crom's afterlife, but is there anything more?
Is there a way to change sex without mods?
>>2548470Nope. They're just a bunch of dummies as per Braga's assessment.
>>2548575Esc, Character, Recreate Character.Alternately just craft an Orb of Nergal and do it there, but that's for cowards.
>>2548923Nergal can't change your sex...I'm tired of flopping dicks and desire flopping tits, but not to re-level to 60 and re-do the entirety of sorcery.

>>2549662I dont die. Easy.
>>2549707Well I do, and I'd rather see tits and vag.
>>2549738Git gud, scrub.
Besides, you should see all the tits and p00n you want when you fuck your thralls brains out at your house.

Are there any good bow mods that make the weapon more viable without completely breaking the game?
continued progress on the exile republic. I built a police headquarters connected to/ jutting off of the main defensive wall, I prettied up the government building and put an ornamental little rooftopper structure with a gong on it, and I made a beach for the thralls to chill at.
>>2550885I like how the wheel of pain is like a town square

Are you out of your fucking mind?Living Settlements pathfinding is also driving me fucking insane but it seems like thats a universal problem that everyone has voiced their opinion on.
>>2550885What's the current population, and the amount of bedrooms/beds? Are you ever gonna upgrade the building material?
>>2552043>you want these crafting stations that are explicitly designed to be pressed up against walls to be pressed up against your walls?What gets me about this one is there are cash shop placeables that snap to walls perfectly, at least there's one bookshelf that I've seen so far, but its only when e-celebs whine about it that Funcom says they'll do anything about it.
Does concussive damage from armor apply to thralls as well?
>equip Lian with an obsidian greatsword some Zamorian III fighter I rescued from a cage had>have him in full Cimmerian Gearthis dude fucking tears through everything
>>2552236I haven't interacted with the quest thralls at all, is his quest very involved?
Anyone here tried the Dunc game? I like its setting better than Conans and can live without thralls. How does it measure up in its core gameplay?
>>2552045>What's the current populationIt’s constantly growing because I’m constantly thralling trash npcs to add to the citizenry >amount of bedroomsThere’s 5 rooms at the inn, 3 low-income houses each with 2 beds, and then 5 nicer houses for government officials (which includes myself).The police HQ has one large barracks and then the smaller police precinct has 3 smaller bedrooms/ barracks.>Are you ever gonna upgrade the building material?I don’t think so. Sandstone is my favorite building set, and I think it’s funny to rp as a modern liberal, bureaucratic state while looking like a gruggy caveman town.I do plan to build other cities/ bases with nicer building materials though
>>2552435The core gameplay loop up until endgame is extremely satisfying, then it drops off a fucking cliff once you get to the Deep Desert.
now that i went and made the sliders all overidden to bigger extremes i was able to dwarf harder

Even though there's a dead one in our story on the big power station you'll need to go to in order to build mid-tier vehicle partsIts okay, it gets old a lot faster than Conan Exiles does, just play it for the story and if you have build autism you can always come back to Conan Exiles.
>>2552270He's a quest thrall?
>>2552911He's confusing Lian with Liu Fei
>>2551896>>2552043On the bright side it is at least being worked on, the downside is that it probably won't be out for a couple weeks and apparently all mods are going to break with the update next Tuesday.I also just realized that the new devs are responsible for that abortion Nightingale and that does not inspire much confidence.
>>2552539how did you alter the sliders? that was the sole reason i want IQOL back so badly.

Is there never any prisoner in the cage up at Stargazer's Crest, the little camp where Dalinsia Snowhunter sometimes spawns? I haven't seen anyone in that cage in all the times I've been there looking for Dalinsia.

Vanir cabin set REALLY needs inverse triangle wall pieces.
>>2552919They all look alike to me
If you delete a block that a thrall is standing on, they just drop to the ground, right? They're not deleted or anything?
>>2555408Yeah
>Keep seeing "Zenjil of Shem" when clearing the Unnamed City>See reddit posts about the "new Thrall">Decide to finally capture her because she spawns constantly>Health pool jumps to 10k within just a few level upsThis is kindof ridiculous, the game is easy enough as it is. What possessed them to add a cheat Thrall?
>>2555763Yeah, there's a few new named unique thralls that were added with the update.
>>2553182You have to go into ToT's admin menu and add additional rules to the sliders. Only learned that from a /v/ thread, now I can make huge misshapen tits.
If you dismount while your mount is swimming it seems like you're affected by regular gravity and don't start losing breath until you hit the bottom. I've only tried it in shallow water but it might be an interesting way to speed up treasure diving.
>>2556029There's treasure down there?
>>2556029Or just get Riptide.
>>2553182
>>2556095uh, some of the wrecks? up in the top right part of the map where the pirates are (on the way/ part of the jungle) have a whole bunch of chests full of gold and silver coins and shit.
Where the FUCK are all the tavernkeeps? I've been scouring every camp with a jailor and a cage and fucking nothing.
>>2556166there;s like, five cages on the whole map where they can spawn. I only now TWO.in mounds of the dead, you fight your way past all the cimmerians, the cage all by itself on the little spot where you fight some more goons and a jailor, can spawn a tavernkeeper.and down in the little plains area full of elephants and tigers before you get back to the desert proper and before you get to the wall for the ;farmland' area there's two or three cannibal settlements close together. one of them has a cage that can spawn a tavernkeeper.bonus points, apparently the cages have a forced 15 minute CD so if they have NOT a tavernkeeper in them... you get to wait.
>>2556148I haven't left the core desert area, the starter river has mostly just weird sea plants I don't know what to do with so I just figured there's nothing worthwile down there
Anyone know if Inflexion has acknowledged the Siptah crashing issues? I know this shit has periodically happened for years, but I can't seem to find any mention of bug fixing in the pipeline. I haven't gotten to explore the map since the Enhanced release and wasted an entire day of progression only to get trapped in a crash loop at L10. Finally managed to circumvent it so I could move the character to Exiled Lands so it isn't a total loss, but I'm annoyed.
>>2556208Bitch and thou shalt receive, I guess. The very next trip I took, I found one.
>>2556208This Nord camp with 3 fags can spawn innkeepers, although I'm not sure if my more T4 spawn mods affect their spawn rate. I've also come across them while looting New Asagarth.
>>2556554>>2556390>>2556218as per >>2556208 this is the two spots i know of with a Tavernkeeper spawning cage
hurr durr.
The Conan Exiles comic that Funcom commissioned answers where the Exiled lands are canonically.It literally starts with the words "Shortly after departing the cursed city of Xuthal" and the story follows a lost Conan and Natala as they enter the land of the giant-kings. There a wizard, Rukan, who serves Thoth-Amon explains how the curse wall works.This would put the Exiled Lands solidly in the Black Kingdoms south of Kush, somewhere not far from Xuthal.
>>2556646Isn't it suppose to be an Island?
>>2556667No that's Siptah, which is on the maps already, usually depicted off the coast of Stygia.
I have over 500 hours in this game and only just now discovered you can tilt and rotate placeables on other axis by holding ctrl and alt.
>>2556646why's it so temperate and viking-y up north? Is it just vidya gaem logic/ rule of cool?
>>2557111it has SOME background in real world geology and weather patterns. the little farmland region is bordered by hills and mountains, is right next to the desert, so it still warm there, but IRL mountains and hills are great for one thing. slowing down cloudbanks and wind and rain etc. so the air slows down, cools enough to precipitate, and dumps a bunch of rain in an area that would OTHERWISE be desert.then there's the game's mystical aspects. its smack bang between the supoernaturally powered permadesrt with the sandstorm etc, shielded from said sandstorm by mountains. and on the other said the supernaturally cold, permafrost mountains where YMIR is for some reason just chilling around. so the area between them is a lot of hot and cold smooshing together, and when that happens irl, hot goes to cold and vice versa, you get wind and rain, lots of temperate wet climate etc. that's why I built there.20 celcius is a COLD day there.
>>2557111Well it was always a more fertile area due to the Giant-King's dam. There's a stone that tells you it was their primary farming location. It gets colder up into the mountains because of the Frost Giants having moved in at some point and setting up the Temple of Frost, they weren't originally snow-laden.
>>2556166I've found them at the black hand ship and cannibal city, I have three now. I put one tavern in the middle of the market in my city so now the guests all wander around and make the place look more populated>>2557111If you look closely you'll see that other than the jungle and desert, all of the biomes are at different elevations. I think that's the explanation for why it gets colder further north, because you're climbing higher
>>2557597Narrowneck Span, The Darfari camp on the rocky outcrop over noob river (north shore, east of the sentinels) has a cage that can spawn a tavernkeep, there's also a thrall cage at Thugra's Stand near the sinkhole.
>>2556112Both is preferable actually, riptide obviously for breathing, but this let's you get to the bottom at the speed of gravity instead of swimming. I don't enjoy treasure diving so anything that speeds it up is welcome.
Tryin' to do something, don't know if it's entirely as bronze-age as I hoped it would feel, but I like it so far.
>>2558562
>>2558573
>>2558586
>>2558586I feel like I've seen this before at least a week ago, maybe in one of the /v/ threads.Are you just reposting your same base?
>>2558562>>2558573>>2558586>>2558595I quite like the design, but keep in mind that once you populate your base with thralls, stations, and furniture, one wall high ceilings might start feeling pretty cramped
>>2559872Also some crafting stations require two walls high ceiling.
>>2559872>>2559904You can count right? It's all 2 high throughout.

Can you put any weapon fittings on shields at all?
Is this a good game for an autistic Conan/Kull fag? I've re-read all the stories multiple times over and have always wanted a good game set in that universe.The AoC MMORPG was shit and this game always kept me away because I'm not interested in survival or building games. The closest to a fun experience I found was that Tower of the Elephant custom module for NWN2.Does this game offer a fun exploration/adventure? Are there mysteries to unravel and scheming lizardmen to gut? Cosmic horrors? Is the combat palatable enough?
>>2560808yes to all
>someone finally raided and destroyed all my shit>I was too busy trying to check event log to see who did it>turns out they changed it so it just says 'player'All they fucking took was my tar/blood...
>>2560808Yes, though what you get out of it depends on what and how you engage with it. Playing solo like most do is a bit different than playing multiplayer servers, and amongst those there's a different experience to be had between PvP, PVE and RP.The solo experience tends to be more about build autism, about getting your castles and towns built up and filled with your thralls almost like a Conan sims, especially since you can tweak the settings so everything is trivial (and even at default settings the game is kinda easy once you figure out how things work).
I've seen videos where people do some kind of dive roll or something and I even accidentally did it once but how the fuck do you do it? I don't see any keybind for it
>>2561375its like left ctrl or something
What's the trick to climbing? Whenever I get to the top of a ledge it makes me hop backwards and back down instead of over onto the new surface.
1h maces are so shitZero range and horrible moveset
>>2561783I've found that if I aim my camera down as I round the lip I'm less likely to fall but even that's not guaranteed. Often it's safest to try to climb on whatever the tallest part of the geometry is and just kind of hope. It's super jank.
>>2561896I've grown fond of pikes recently.
>>2561896Yeah 1h maces are really just for thralls since its the spammiest weapon without flipping like a tard everywhere you get with daggers. I tend to use 2handers for reach.
>>2561997I wish their moveset wasn't so boring.
>>2562340There's a pike variant that has wide swings but its somewhat uncommon of a drop
>>2562346It's not very good damage wise, either.
I've gotten so annoyed trying to join walls and floors due to mismatched triangles and squares I think I'm abandoning my main build entirely. I wish there were a way to force-clip tile pieces.
>>2561896they're good for 1v1ing bosses like the big scorpions with lots of armor when combined with a shield and the perk that lets you block all attacks. You just spam heavy 1 and then block. Heavy 1 has a bit of gap close but the hitbox goes so stupidly high into the air that it won't hit most enemies, but bosses have big hitboxes so it isn't an issue as much.1h axes are the weapon that I just do not fucking understand on any level. Extremely wonky moveset, zero armor penetration, and middling damage. I have no clue why they even put them in the game other than the fact that they look cool as fuck. The one legendary axe that has decent damage and armor pen is almost viable but is still so aggravating to use with the moveset.
>>2561375press 'c' (or whatever you may have changed crouch to) while jumping
>>2559989It's one of my favorite spots on the whole map. My adhd is getting the better of me and i'm considering starting over and making a hlaalu-style plantation for it.
>>2561375run forward and jump then press c mid air. Keep in mind that the most likely result of this is you landing on your head and taking like 50x the normal fall damage even from heights that don't normally hurt you. I don't really know why it's a feature but it's hilarious.
>>2561896>>2561997>>2562340>>2562346>>2562370>>2562554They really need to just redo almost all of the combat animations. They're way too goofy and spinny when the source material is full of brutal and straightforward violence. It's impossible to imagine Conan doing any of the one handed movesets

>>2564792It just occured to me that there aren't any slings in this game and slings would be an extremely common ranged weapon for the era depicted.
>>2564425I honestly fucking hate that they tried to copy dork souls combat. I wish exiles was just a simple first person hack and slash like skyrim. Combat in skyrim is a chore. Combat in CE looks stupid and is an active nuisance
>>2564849its worse because they got rid of the fun combat it originally had in favour of roll slop. but then they nerfed the actual difficulty of the game that made it feel truly dork souls
>>2564877Is there any gameplay footage of that original combat?
>>2564849>I honestly fucking hate that they tried to copy dork souls combatI love Dark Souls combat, it's smooth and intuitive. Conan Exiles combat is like if an alien who's never witnessed any kind of real or fictional violence before had Dark Souls combat vaguely explained to him and tried to copy it.I assume they made the animations so exaggerated so that there would be more variety between weapons of the same class than just stats but it was a terrible way to do that.

How long does it take for old building sets to rotate into the shop? I've been waiting for the pyramid set at least, but also more of the curved ceiling pieces.
>>2564776As much as I'm generally leery of spinoff-type games I would unironically love a TES builder. Not fo76 style, but basically CE with a TES skin and using a valheim/RS Dragonwilds style building system.As much as I like building in Conan, I wish there were smaller pieces so having cantilever upper floors could be more gradual. Sometimes one whole block is too much.
>>2564903Don't listen to him, the original combat was straight up unga bunga-tier with a simple left/right weapon swing. There was always a rolling dodge the difference now however is that it's not dependent on what armor you're wearing, heavy armor used to have a step-dodge instead of a roll (which I do actually miss).Having root motion on attack animations isn't anything new and definitely wasn't invented by fromsoft.
Why is the pathing on these pack elephants so fucking erratic compared to everything else
>give companions truncheons>NPCs keep getting killed anyway>look up the legendary truncheon I gave one of them>it just instantly kills any knocked out thrall who doesn't have a gold health barWhat the fuck is the point of that?
>>2566605>What the fuck is the point of that?Kills most regular mooks in 1 or 2 hits while protecting any potential t4 thralls you might not have noticed in a crowd. In actual practice it's for accidentally killing that archpriest or t3 smelter you meant to knock out because your Coup de Grace and Steel Truncheon have the same inventory icon just with a different colored border.
>put down a food trough for the animals in my settlement>check it a few minutes later, all the food is gone>methodically go through every thrall's inventory, find that the fucking frost giant stole all the food meant for the animals>fill his inventory slots up with single bunches of grass to stop it>little later>check again>all the food is gone, again>this time it's my fucking horse carrying around honey(for the bear) and meat(for the cats)This can't be intended.
>>2566066They have to path via 'flat' terrain. Nothing in the game has inverse kinematics. It's ue5/4. Everything is floating a few inches off the ground.
>>2567733Inverse kinematics is basically fucking lostech, 25 year old games could do it but modern shit can't.
>>2567981IK would take processing power away from MUH GRAFIX. It also means no prebaked animations.So you'd have significantly less good grafix.

I wonder if they ever had something planned for the blank part of the map at the north-east?
>>2569643Engine limitations prevented them in the past. Now I don't think they'll do a lot of development unless it can very directly translate to rapidly cashing checks to fund whatever capricious new PvP flop the creative directors want to make.I suspect at best we can hope for a new paid map entirely like Siptah was, but its unlikely even that will happen.
>>2569660>whatever capricious new PvP flop the creative directors want to makeJoel was a fucking mistake.
can't really justify going anything but corrupted authority build in solo, stamina not an issue anymore and i don't even have to look while they combo bosses and dragons to death. only issue is they still get stuck in the water dungeon.
Why can't I portal to Kurak? I have the bloodstones on me, but there's no option to open the portal.

Is there a comparison screenshot of Wonderbody and Aquilonian Females anywhere? Even though Steam workshop's handy for your mods auto-updating it's annoying when you want to figure out which body you want on your thralls without juggling the mods yourself
>>2573469Oh. Fuck. I spoke too soon, started up Conan after wrestling apes and Derketo priestesses last night and having a good time and now the game refuses to launch unless I disable my mods because they put out a patch that did fuck all. God fucking damn it
>>2570780>stay there if I just leave them thereYeah, I have a teleporter ritual tower with three of them on the slabs that have been there essentially decoratively for the last week even through server restarts.
>>2573306>betterthrallsguess well back to 7 days to die>mod breaking 3.0 update tomorrowfml
>>2573821Isn't that when they're supposed to be adding human raiders?
>>2573306>>2573821As fun as it can be to run around with an army of thralls I really only ever used BetterThralls for the fall damage reduction and the thrall pickup feature. The game becomes way too trivial running around with a whole army of them unless you really buff all enemies.
>>2573979I use Better Thralls but have all the options turned off except thrall pickup. That way I can use it alongside BetterSacrifice to keep thralls in my sorcery dungeon and then pick them up and plop them down on my sacrificial stone when I need to soul suck somebody. It's much more thematic than just keeping the thrall item in a box or something.
>>2574136>just keeping the thrall item in a box"Bring out the gimp."
>>2574136>BetterSacrificeI do the same thing. Funny enough, the sacrifice altar is how I started learning how to mod on my own. Turns out there's already a mod that does it so I never published it, but for anyone that's impatient for that author to update his mod, you can open the devkit yourself and just toggle off the whitelist in the PlaceableInventory details for BP_PL_Crafting_Station_BloodStone, be sure to erase the list of entries in the Black White List too or it'll swap the logic. Then just build your mod and it should work fine.A lot of modding is easy when it doesn't directly involve programming anything, its just options and spreadsheets.
>>2572036My base is pretty near New Asagarth, I just built the staircase so that it's easier to steal money from them because it counts as claimed land and the bandit faggots stop spawning once I reach the staircase.

>like the Top Freedom mod because tiddies gud>hasn't updated for a while but still worked alongside other mods up until now>new update absolutely needs mods to be updated or the game refuses to run
>>2575080Modders who aren't that active shouldn't be so precious with their assets, then others could just update for them.
>>2575138Or maybe Funcom shouldn't be incompetent fucking jeetcoders.
>>2575225Ideally there would be updates far less frequently and at far higher quality. But even in cases like that it'd be best if retired modders released their assets.
>>2575327Yeah, of course that'd be ideal. But I also see no reason that a mod should just stop working because of some arbitrary version number change. There are plenty of mods that wouldn't have been affected by the change at all, yet they intentionally fucking activated that version filter so you can't use mods unless they're constantly updated to a new version, despite the patches doing fuckall in regards to what the mod actually alters.
>>2575365I feel as though this is a trend lately across a lot of software companies. Its very anti-consumer and anti-backwards compatibility, like there's no way for developers with this new work philosophy to imagine a scenario existing where an end-user might want to be able to access older data.I wonder sometimes if its related to the rise of github especially, but also discord and other pseudo-monolithic "communities" where group-think that has no room for the individual metastasises but its hard to pin down and its just as likely to be something internally from big tech corporations.
lmaoooo
>>2575451This is because apparently if you had the poor taste to build everything on khitan foundation blocks all your craft stations were deleted and also the icons for iron ingots look like sorcerer hoods.

>boot up conan after a while>downloading update>entire buildings and surrounding walls fucking gone from my main baseWhy?
>>2578001
>>2578013NTA but no this is a real thing and one of the major reasons they rolled back the most recent patch this morning. It's not often that a developer literally un-patches their game but starting yesterday people's bases were just exploding because Funcom fucked up the building pieces.>>2578001If you've got a backup use it. Funcom made a whoopsie.
I wonder why the mods work for the rolled back patch. Usually things like this become incompatible.
>>2579258Because part of the patch was malicious anti-consumer kikery making it so mods wouldn't fucking work for arbitrary reasons, with versioning fuckery and making it so the game just won't let them operate if they mod was made on the wrong version.Considering the patch did fuckall to shit most mods modified, most of the "updates" were probably just changing the version number. So when it rolled back to no longer have that versioning shit, the mods still work.
Do I need to start treating Conan like a Bethesda game where allowing an update or even a whisper from the dev server means all my shit breaks?
>guess I'll play a bit since some mods updated today>downloading new patchFUCK
>>2580032>Jewish mod version check is back againYOU FUCKING FAGGOTS IT WAS WORKING FINE WITH THE OLD VERSION

>>2579755Up until last month, Conan updates didn't really break anything unless they directly changed a feature that a mod used. Mods could go literal years without needing updates. When Enhanced released, the DevKit was (and apparently still is) a clusterfuck, which caused versioning errors with each new update, breaking mods until they were re-released each time. Tuesday's patch was actually an attempt to address that, and the devs posted in the modding server saying it ought to be the last time that mod developers have to update a mod just because a new patch came out, and that it'd go back to how it worked before afterwards. The problem is that this patch broke a bunch of other stuff on the way, notably a bunch of building pieces, in such a way that a lot of people's bases just broke once the patch hit. As a result, Funcom has rolled back the patch.So, in theory, there's already a fix that will stop mods from breaking each update. However, Funcom released it as part of a patch that broke a bunch of other shit, which has now been rolled back. Yesterday they said they'd have a hotfix that should (hopefully) release today to fix the mod versioning issue, but obviously that hasn't happened yet.In short: right now? Yes, expect every update to break your mods. However, once Funcom manages to actually release their hotfix without breaking everything, things should go back to normal. It's a mess.
>>2581035Oh you know what scratch that I just saw that they did, in fact, release that hotfix today. In theory this should be the last time mods break due to an update (assuming the new DevKit still works). I guess we'll see.
>>2577212Worked fine, guess I'll leave Conan in never-patch mode. Not entirely sure if it paused the mod updates or not, but if it didn't the old version certainly doesn't give a fuck since everything's working regardless
>>2581035>>2581043Thanks anon but also>mfw
>>2581395You just know.
>play Desolate Lands>Can't go back to vanilla map.Insane that Darg literally added way more shit in 2 years than the devs have in 5. Only thing I don't like about it is all the stuff left empty for "RP servers", should have a version where that stuff is populated for non-rp and unpopulated for rp.

Wow, my game keeps crashing, but my friend's game is fine. I don't know what's going on, because if it were a mod, my friend's game would crash too, right? playing on the same server with the same mods, that's strange my temps are fine like 58-60CPU 48-52GPU fucking weird.

>>2583537Yeah, your mod load order may have gotten mixed up and doesn't match the server anymore. double check that shit bruh.

Any tips or ideas to remedy lag when playing online? Prior to enhanced conan ran just fine both fps and connection, lag was generally not bad on private servers. Now even on sub-30 ping servers its literally unplayable with how bad enemies rubberband. I've tried port forwarding, I see no improvement. Hell I even have an entirely new router since enhanced first came out, still laggy as shit. High speed fiber connection, purely wired. Other games don't lag anywhere near the level that conan does.
Why is it so fucking hard to kill someone your companions have knocked out?
>>2587057There should just be an incredibly simply interact prompt to just do an instakill animation on them.Also, there should be a command button you can press to tell thralls to use truncheons while following you. There's a mod that has that feature but it doesnt work well and is super buggy. I dont know why its not built in
>>2587170If you put truncheons in thralls' inventory it's completely fucking random what they'll attack with, I've stood watching them whack away at a wolf for literal minutes using truncheons. The companion AI is so fucking bad.
>bitch to friend about how hard it is to find T4 crafter thralls>on the very next thrall run, get a named smelter and shieldwright armourer in the same pull
>>2587659I wonder if they tuned the spawns to make up for the rollbacks.
>>2587885Wouldn't put it past 'em, I also found a Dalinsia Snowhunter
>>2587659Finding t4 crafting thralls is stupidly easy: just equip yourself and all of your thralls with lethal weapons and run into an enemy camp, you'll find tons of t4 crafter corpses. Finding them when you're actually looking for them and have yourself and your thralls equipped with truncheons? Impossible.
>>2588141>>2588184Man I love thick women
>Climb up the bat tower because the magic stick hints at it>Get a cool fight>Super charge the magic stick>Get a cool viewI swear 70% of the game is getting annoyed at it for various reasons but it does have some excellent adventuresome moments. Also finished juicing some slaves since a highly reputable and trustworthy man in a plant needs help but god only knows when I head that way again
>>2588511I've been trying to piece together the breadcrumbs of the game (as opposed to looking at a wiki for what to do) and it seems a lot of it is supposed to come out of what the magic stick tells you after you place it as furniture. But even with that I'm still not sure how you're meant to track down the scourgestone pieces narratively.
>>2588511And then not even 6 minutes after posting that (After I already climbed down and was on my way home) I get one of those annoyances. Not a fan of the giga-boss monsters just randomly in the world when they look like every other normal version of that monster. Just about got fucked by a 3 skull scorpion because it looked like any other normal giant scorpion. I don't mind when it's like the huge croc in that pond just off the river since it's very clearly bigger than the rest, but if that scorpion had visual differences I wasn't noticing them>>2588519Didn't even know scourgestone pieces would be required, I've picked up a few from wandering around randomly and thought they might be a rare crafting material or something. The 'story' has been pretty tough to follow for me too, and I'm even using that mod that makes interactables glow so I'm less likely to miss journals lying around and such. I assume the blame is because of their MP focus which is a damn shame
>>2588519There's a good chance you just find them randomly via exploration, but if you keep pestering the Sandstorm Maniac in his temple at the bottom-right of the map, the spirit of the Sandstorm possessing him drops the act and starts speaking to you directly. It tells you the locations of the three pieces.
>>2588511The game's map is its best feature. It was designed for multiplayer but somehow the world being empty in single-player actually enhances it. It's got all these big wide spaces that the devs clearly intended to be filled up with player structures, but on a solo playthrough it's just this vast, lonely world that you're exploring. At the same time, there's stuff everywhere. On my first playthrough, it seemed like every resource gathering run I'd go on would end up with me in some random cave with its own lore and loot and some kind of interesting or dramatic view. It's something else.
>>2588540>InteractablesOther than background lore for the empire the only one important to follow is the Razma journals. The other ones are still entertaining though if you like that sort of thing (and I do).
>>2588546Thanks for that, I keep eyeing that temple whenever I'm riding along the coastline, I guess I should go look inside then.
>>2588636Oh yeah you can tell the original map was made with attention to detail and actual care.
>>2588762You can tell Funcom have artists and devs who actually care a lot about the games they make. It's just a shame that management is a pack of fucking idiots.
Friend made me join a conan rp server and discord. it was owned by two women. it had several sex mods installed. the discord had a locked channel dedicated to one of the owner's solo rping.you know how women obsess over the weirdest old-ass characters and IPs? that's how i'd describe conan. it's in a very weird space.
>>2588511>>2588519>>2588540What magic stick?
>>2590185The ancient empire's sewer got clogged when someone flushed a magic staff down the terlet so they did what any reasonable person would do and sent an abyssal devil-snake down the shitpipes to unclog it since they hadn't yet invented drain-snakes. The devil snake ate the magic staff but then it got fat and clogged the pipes even more, collapsing their degenerate civilization because once the hell-snake didn't work no one else had any ideas and what's the point of building obsidian ziggurats that reach the sky if you can't shit in peace? So then they all descended into barbarism and shitting everywhere, leaving the ruins that you climb around in the game
>Bannerlord has AI chat mods>Sims has AI chat mods>Rimworld has AI chat mods>Skyrim has AI chat mods>Minecraft has AI chat mods>Kenshi has AI chat mods>Crusader Kings has AI chat mods>Barotrauma has AI chat mods>GTA has AI chat modsetc etc etcDo you think we'll be seeing one of these for Conan in the near future? Being able to talk to your thralls would change the game A LOT. As much as I hate when people use this word, these mods unironically are the future
>>2591737I thought there was one in development? There's a video of it working herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6pgq0Vl-Yk
I predict the bazaar's big items won't rotate for another two weeks, maybe three if they want to keep it to a monthly schedule.This will line it up with when the player population is estimated to return to pre-enhanced release numbers (under 10k even on weekends).
>open companion's inventory>there's a portion of gruel in there>can't delete it>can move it to my own inventory, but can't delete it from there either>can overwrite it with other food in the companion's inventory, but it reappears if I close and re-open the inventoryWhat is going ooooon
>>2592864I've noticed that too. It goes away after a while, especially if they get into combat. I have no real idea but I think it may be connected to living settlements.
>>2592886Living settlements is so fucked. It causes NPCs to steal food out of the food trough for the animals. Just thralls walking around with their pockets full of animal feed, raw meat and stuff and letting it rot.
>>2592864I think they scoop that up from the thrall-pot when they aren't following you, but when you have them following you they won't actually eat it. I've had that happen once or twice before too
>>2592896I had one of those frost giant bodyguards you get from the summoning horn set to guard my settlement, and he was fucking notorious for stealing honey(for the bear) and fish(for the cats) out of the food trough. Had to fill his inventory slots up with single bundles of plant fibre to get him to stop...... and then my horse started doing it. I just deleted the whole fucking trough.
Anyone know of a good mod for smaller animal pens? They look so goofy and don't fit anything passed sandstone tech.

>>2522018There were mods to remove it, at least for legacy version.>>2537078>>2537383Yeah, for me Conan is iron age, or maybe even bronze age or mix of the both. Plus stone ages peoples in less advanced areas.>>2564958I don't like either, but I had to live with it, adjusting damage taken/given settings.
>>2576713I just used improved quality of life mod for more slider options, no body mods.>>2586312I hate this shit, I hate this shit...>>2588511Yeah, exploring the map is fun. I have been thinking of just cheating away most of the survival parts and enjoying the exploration when I return once more to this game.
I don't love how, if your companions are damaged at all, if you put buff food in their inventory they'll automatically eat it for the health regen, but won't actually gain the effect of the buff. You have to make them manually eat it for that.
>Read through Conan Exiles modding wiki>Find a link to a potentially useful tutorial>Its a link to a discord server file>File no longer exists, ofcourseWhat's the fucking point of a wiki if its just a glorified link host with dead links?
Any fun and chill servers that don't require to join a discord and have several passwords, consent forms, etc? EU if possible.
>>2594467Fun and chill servers only remain fun and chill if they vet their members. Letting anyone in inevitably, INEVITABLY, ends in an influx of people who are only there to troll and grief and be horrible little shits and ruin things for others just because they can.
>>2594327Yeah, sadly wiki kind of died down, compared to years ago.
What's stronger in PvE:>2 leveled thralls with war party>1 leveled thrall with well trained>4 zombies with war party>3 zombies with well trained>2 pets with war party>1 pet with well trained>2 golems with war party>1 golem with well trained?
>>2595066Low-level, pets and other non-thrall followers are the way to go, since their base stats are higher and they don't need gear. This switches as you approach the end-game, and as you start crafting the highest-tier gear your thralls will begin to outpace all other follower types. Zombies are a special case, because their gimmick is that they're low-effort. You don't have to level them or gear them up like pets or thralls, they just pop out of the ground at max level. At "end-game", thralls are the only game in town, and whether a single beefed-up Well Trained thrall or two thralls in a War Party is better largely depends on who you're fighting. If it's not a boss, then it doesn't matter--either setup will mow down every non-boss enemy in the game once you get them in maxed out gear. If it's a boss, it depends on whether they're affected by stagger or not. Humanoid bosses (e.g. Arena Champion) that can be staggered are super vulnerable to stunlock from you and your two thralls wailing on them. Larger, non-staggerable enemies can disregard that benefit, and the superior raw damage from a single Well Trained thrall properly buffed is going to get you more total damage.Worth noting: the game is easy enough that you can solo literally all content with basically any thrall setup, so this is mostly academic.
>>2595266So golems are just useless?
>>2592146That mod is long abandoned
We're living like NEWBIE KINGS out here. That three way intersection of rivers (More like creeks) and fairly central map location seemed good for a base, and then the fire tower out there made me want to build a big stupid building around it. Going to build a few more outbuildings like that wooden one for more workbenches and thrall stuff but once I actually start furnishing everything those flags will come down and I'll build the sacrificial altar up there right by the fire 'cause that makes the blood EXTRA magic
>>2595565The fact that they can't be healed limits how usable they are as combat followers, since--similar to zombies--they're on a time limit before they perma-die. They're not bad. They have an assload of health. Still, like pets and zombies, they're eventually outclassed by thralls with end-game gear.Their real niche is resource gathering around your base. A player needs to be close enough to render the golem for it to harvest, so in single-player, the only really viable golem harvesting spots are going to be near places you visit regularly. It's a very... niche, niche.
>>2596651Because they're so disposable I like to use them for purges. They have a ton of health even if they can't be healed.
>fill my town square with a ring of sacrifice altars with nude chicks strapped to them>they make sexy moans once in a while
I tried to learn a bit about the game but all I see is coomer spam.How ghastly.
>>2597540Its been a while since there was a lot of tiddy talk in this thread actually, and the last time goblina-sorceress-anon posted his goblina-sorceress they were in the background instead of the foreground.So I don't know what you mean.
>Devious Desires no longer crashes my gameWell shit, I guess the new update does have some positive stuff.
>>2596651They're pretty good to have following for stuff that you'd be low-to-mid level at like dealing with the absolute zerg rush that is the entrance to the Dregs or even the Summoning Place - it's been quite a while since I've had a golem with me though so I don't know if they still have the stagger immunity they used to have.
>still no iqol enhanced
>corner pillars are suddenly missing from my build listFuck, now I need to go through my mods to see what suddenly fucked this up.
>>2597817iirc the crashes were because of incompatibility between DD and Exiles Extreme. Do they work together now?>>2598621Why does everyone want IQOL so much? The only advantage it had over TOT was slider edits affecting world npcs, which they removed years ago and never re-added. Now TOT has more features AND a billion mods require it to function.
>>2599856For me, it's just rhe simplicity. I could edit a dozen NPCs extremely quickly with IQOL while ToT! requires more time to sift through menus in order to get more fine tuned results. It's just kind of annoying. Nine times out of ten, all I want is to adjust hair style and color, tiddy size, and physique on my thralls. I prefer to just manual apply warpaints, too.I don't hate ToT!, but it's inconvenient in its complexity and that detracts from my ability to autistically build cities and populate them with aesthetically pleasing Thralls. I'm already spending hours to capture them, outfit them, and level them. I don't really want to spend half an hour adjusting sliders on top of that.
Anyone know if the patch fixed the crashing issues on Siptah? I want to go back, but I'm not trying to waste time figuring it out myself just to have to go back to Exiled Lands.
>>2600310I'm not super familiar with ToT! but if you want something less fiddly, Fashionist also has thrall-editing functionalisy. I switched to it because IQoL was taking so long. Instead of having a button in the radial menu like IQoL, Fashionist adds a craftable vanity mirror item. Clicking the mirror takes you back into the character editor, just like pressing Shift+M in IQoL does. There's also a button in that menu to create "shards." Put a shard into a thrall's inventory and click it to open up the same menu. You can edit the thrall, save the thrall's sliders to the shard, or (if you've already saved a thrall to the shard), import the saved sliders to the thrall. It's effectively the same functionality as IQoL's saved presets, except its handled with an inventory item rather than a menu.Fashionist doesn't have the same amount of sliders that IQoL does, but if you're just looking for a way to edit the features you mentioned, it supports all of that and is pretty easy to use.
>>2599856I didn't know there was a new slider mod, what is tot?
>>2600902Tot lets you customize and pose yourself and npcs, as well as change what weapons and armor you/npc appear to be carrying, has extra sliders and customization features, and a super in depth accessory system that lets you make VERY detailed outfits. It is also required for a ton of mods. It has a billion more features but I don't really know or care about thosehttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3721096154With the sheer number of mods that are dependent on this I'd call it an essential download.
>>2600548I'm familiar. I used Fashionist alongside IQOL for some of the tertiary features like warpaint dyeing. Unfortunately, it's too simple for my liking and I don't care for the mirror intermediary. It's a Goldilocks problem and IQOL is just my happy medium. All three are fine, I'm just autistic and retarded.
>>2599856>Why does everyone want IQOL so muchIn my case I don't like other major mod having a dependency in the same place, because it means that one autist has control of everything downstream and if he ever decides to quit or throw a fit then all the downstream mods get fucked.I have absolutely nothing against the guy who makes and maintains ToT but its not really a good modding environment when there's one point of failure.Aside from dependencies, its also just good to have variety for similar reasons. When they fucked up the patch last week for instance, I was able to still enjoy proper lighting and shadows when amunet's dynamic shadows failed to update in time but Crispy Lights did (and turned out to be the superior lights option because it disables the poorly implemented shadows from torches).
>>2601280every other, forgot a word
>>2601280>Crispy LightsVERY nice, didn't know there were mods to improve the lighting. Looks way better now, thanks!
>>2599856I didn't have Exiles Extreme installed but DD still crashed for me until the recent update.
I always forgot that you can climb almost anything in the game.
>decide to go on a tour of world minibosses to gather skeleton keys>they're all clipped into the ground and unhittableFUNCOOOOOOM
>talk to Archivist and Warmaker>feel a little bad that their empire was kill by human rebels>find more lore bits and realize that human slaves were just cattle and regularly sacrificed or used as feed for domesticated monstersI thought that was quite interesting, from their perspective humans were shitty little bastards that caused the fall of the empire but from the perspective of humans we were just rising up from oppression.
>>2602201It was both right? They were able to coexist for a time but eventually human harassment led the giant kings to enslave them. Though that's a story told by the giant-kings so is unreliable?
>>2600978>has a billion more featuresExactly - I don't want or need all that extra shit. IQoL did what I wanted/needed.

>>2602695I thought jule bathos or whatever his name is was aussie
>>2602347It's very likely honest, based on the dialogue from the Archivist and Warmaster. They're very rueful in their explanations and seem deferrential to the plight of men. It's also very much in keeping with Howard's lore. There is no true good or evil in the Hyborian Age. There is only violence and struggle. Malice doesn't factor into the equation often, and even malicious figures and antagonists throughout Conan tales are simply products of their cultures and the brutality of the world.If anything, the one true evil Howard always conjured was modernity leading to apathy and complacency. The Giant Kings fell because they believed themselves greater than their subjects. That led to the rebellion and the rise of the Witch Queen. Her own hubris and lust for power corrupted her and destroyed the Lemurians. It's an endless cycle that the Exiles perpetuate and the reason our character CAN escape is because of their ability to fight against the cycle, learn from the mistakes of those who came before, and rise above the endless conflict of the Exiled Lands.
>bazaar with 13 slots>only 3 of them rotate, and those are 1 limited set and 2 single itemsDoes Funcom hate money?
>>2602799He is an aussie - how anyone can listen to him talk and think "American" is a fuckin' retard. Ergo, this dipshit is just talking out his ass.
>>2603173Joel's also worked at funcom for years, he got promoted up to creative director some time after TSW.
>in addition to the bouncing, now the animation for the thrall resets every time I change a value while editing in ToT>even if I set it to T-pose it changes back to what it was doingOh god it became impossible to edit thralls.
>>2603173Never heard him speak, just assumed American because he has the fatfuck dumbshit look
>>2603173>>2604642I disliked him when he did a ama before conan even released and someone asked him about body sliders and he said it takes too much effort to implement them.
>>2602809I view the Archivist and Warmaster more like ivory tower types, they're at the top of their society and have "the poor humans can't help themselves but be violent miscreants, so they need our guidance" type mentality that allows them to make humans into chattel slaves because its what's best for them in the giants' eyes.>Howard's WritingIn one of the first stories, the Tower of the Elephant, a sorcerer enslaves an ancient magical being for purely selfish reasons, tormenting the being for centuries in order to keep himself alive. Sure we can always say everything is a product of its environment but at some point I think its okay to just say the guy was evil.

>>2606227Imagine they thought they were doing noobies a favor. Getting rid of the dangerous big monsters on the way to brimstone and iron sources.
>>2603022Yeah. I really need the Turanian Extended Pack so I can build proper yurts. Did my best trying to make a royal yurt wagon. Can't complain about the result but I have zero variety. I guess I'll just build a castle and RP as a nomad who conquered the place and made it his and have a couple nomad camps scattered around the map...>>2605216>>2602809I'm halfway through a book now, have another one planned and after I want to read a collection of the Conan stories by Howard. What am I in for?
>build a tavern completely free of anything adjoining it, no blocked paths to its entrance>patrons still manage to get stuck on the roof of the workshop across the path from itI fucking give up, Living Settlements was a mistake.
>>2609032reminds of baldurs gate 1
>>2609083In what way?
>scared of building with mod parts because it will all just go poof if the game updates and breaks mods again
>>2608258>Conan stories by Howard. What am I in forIf you're only familiar with the 80s films you'll find that they're a lot different and Conan is more of a wild adventurous figure that sometimes reminds me of Indiana Jones more than a barbarian because of all the exotic locales, the rotating pretty women, and the pulpy adventures.They're also mostly short stories since all but one were made to be published in a magazine. The earlier ones are also better, I think, the later ones start to get a little samey.Also lots of racism and sexism, to the point of comedy. There'll be a sudden paragraph dedicated to how black people could never possibly build anything bigger than a mud hut and how Conan will never sleep with a black woman.There's also no real chronology, because of how they were published so any compilation book you get is going to basically just be whatever that particular publisher thought was the best way to order them. That said,I've been using the Grossman chronology because it seems to make more sense but it doesn't matter too much other than some contradictions in later stories using the more popular chronologies.
>>2609291Yeah, furniture and decorations are one thing, but I'd stay away from modded building parts, all it takes is for Funcom to decide to push a mini-patch where they change the wording in an item's flavour text and your mods are out of date, and your base falls apart.
Where do you go to find wolf cubs? I've killed thousands of wolves but never seen a single cub.
>>2609406The pond outside New Asagarth has a bunch of wolf cubs
Did they remove the wall snap points on the Nemedian Library Bookcase? I'm trying to figure out if its one of my mods doing it but these bookcases used to snap right to the wall just a couple weeks ago.
>>2609032Mine keep getting stuck under the floorboards. I started replacing them all with foundation pieces to see if that'd help.
>>2609711Mine kept getting stuck in the floor when I *used* foundations! Only switching to pillars+floors fixed it.
I can't imagine building a base that isn't fuckhuge. Not having a bed for every thrall seems absurd to me. Also for the love of god has Funcom said anything about working on living settlements pathfinding?
>>2609802I would settle for just having dedicated beds/areas for specific thralls so they're not constantly swapping. The only way to get them to somewhat stay to their zones is with crafting stations or if they're meant to never move as guards.
Is there a way to reset your quest progress? A friend is mine is stuck on Liu Fei's quest(he can't "craft" the ritual to summon the demon at the circle by his plant, it's just greyed out), and I'm stuck on Freya's(I can't get her to follow me around hunting more powerful beasts, she just sits and asks me what I want with no dialogue option other than "Goodbye")
How can I make shadows not as blocky?I saw a mod in Workshop that's supposed to alter lighting, does anyone here use it?
>>2610465What mods did you use to make her look like that?
