Greetings Exiles,

Three weeks ago, we announced our fundraising campaign in collaboration with Save the Children[www.savethechildren.org]. Together with you, our amazing community, we aimed to raise $5,000 for children in need across the globe.

Forward notice: We are aware of and continuing to investigate an issue where characters may periodically sink into building pieces. Due to the delicate nature of foundations and sensitivity to changes that affect them (if you know, you know 😥), a resolution for this issue will arrive with a future update. Thank you for your patience; we understand it's frustrating.

Bugs and Tweaks

• Thrall Command and Interact inputs are no longer mapped to the same button as interacting with Battle Pass notifications. The Battle Pass shortcut on Tier Completion popups now opens with the Inventory button.
  
• Improved animations for golem movement and combat.
  
• Friendly followers have received further 'If not enemy, why enemy shaped' training and no longer attack allied golems.
  
• Fi...

Age of War Chapter 4 Hotfix (4.23.2024)

Forward notice: We are currently still investigating Siptah crashes and a full solution is not included in this update. This remains at the top of our priorities for a future update.

Bugs and Tweaks

• Adjusted right stick input required to change locked targets with a controller to reduce unintentional target changes
  
• NPC-owned destructible bases now respawn more consistently
  
• Fixed locations that cause instant death in locations such as the Sinkhole and the Sacred Hunt Dungeon on Siptah.
  
• Characters once again continue sprinting while Sprint toggle is on.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused characters to lo...

We overcome hunger, thirst, and the elements in Conan Exiles, but for millions of people across the real world, it is a struggle to contend with daily, and children are among the most vulnerable.

Together, we can combat hunger, but it takes a village - that’s why this year, as part of our sixth anniversary celebration, Funcom is teaming up with Save the Children and Tiltify to launch a charity drive to aid children around the globe! We’re calling upon all Exiles to help give these children a fighting chance.

From April 24th until May 14th, you can donate money directly to the Exiles Aid campaign, stay up to date on auctions of exclusive items - including a custom-made original Conan Exiles statue - and our 6th Launch Anniversary! All the proceeds will go directly to Save the Children.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Age of War Chapter 4 Hotfix (4.11.2024)
General

• Potion of Midnight is now craftable at a new station located next to the Werehyena who teaches you the recipe. This station is the only station where it can be crafted.
  
• Other Werehyena NPCs at the event camp have been properly disciplined and no longer offer the option to speak to you
  
• Followers will now properly defend against the Werehyena Ambush
  
• Bearer Thrall HP increased to original pre-Chapter 4 values (Dev note: This change is temporary, as we feel the current HP values of Bearer Thralls is too high. This will be revisited after a new feature in a future update)
  
• Defensive Followers will now properly ...

Greetings Exiles,
Age of War - Chapter 4 is in the wild and the hunt is on! This chapter, we wanted to further explore the styles of the Zingarans and the mercenaries at their employ - so today, let’s take a look at some Zingaran themed rewards included in Age of War - Chapter 4’s Battle Pass!  

 


ZINGARAN MERCENARY
Zingarans are a refined, complex people, and we wanted to reflect the sophistication with which their nobility would adorn sellswords and soldiers. Zingara’s frequent contact with the pirates of the Barachan Isles would also influence their armor and clothing, adding a maritime appearance on top of the pomp.

Greetings Exiles,

With only a few days to go before Age of War – Chapter 4 digs its claws into you, we want to give you a deep dive into everything we’re bringing to the game. Last week, we covered the new Sacred Hunt Event, and today, we have a feast of different features and improvements to show you.

Let's dig in.



Fatalities
If there is glory in gore, you will find it in Chapter 4. In this feature inspired by the Fatalities in Age of Conan, you will be able to finish off enemy human NPCs with spectacularly savage kill moves; one for each of the melee weapon types in the game.

When an attack would otherwise kill your foe, there is a chance that they will instead enter a dazed state. If you perform a starting attack (not mid-combo) on them during this brief period, you will perform a Fatality, and be awarded with a chunk of health and stamina, along with a temporary damage buff.

Three details are worth emphasizing. Fir... Read more

Known Issues

• Using the Burning Siege Boulder Trebuchet Ammo at the new Luxur Camp on Isle of Siptah may cause a server crash
  
• Items may vanish when moving them to the inventory
  * This is due to desync between client and server. Logging out/back in will resolve the missing issues and they will be back where they belong
  
• Placing items into Thrall-pet inventories causes them to vanish
  * Resolved, but the fix didn’t make it into the public beta build
  
  Controller Functionality
  
• If disconnected from the server, you will need to close/reopen your client to regain controller functionality
  
• The controller will not function/navigate in the thrall equipment panel

Greetings Exiles:

It’s 2024 and time we looked back at some achievements and challenges for Conan Exiles in 2023. Your ongoing support drives our efforts to develop fresh content for the game. Let’s look back at the year’s highlights and some of the hurdles we’re determined to overcome.

Five Years of Adventure 2023 was a big deal here as we celebrated the 5th Launch Anniversary of Conan Exiles on May 8. This marked half a decade since we’ve been developing content and playing this game together. Our journey, including our Steam Early Access launch, now spans over six years – a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and your continued support.



Switching to the Age system back in 2022 was a huge decision, and this... Read more
