[2019] How is this game not very popular? (Ps4)

Keep your eyes peeled on our usual communications channels

:P

Welcome,

We're really happy to have you as part of your community.

I feel that us working and improving on the game as much as we can, and also working and trying to listen to the community as much as we can, is the way to go forward. Conan Exiles is a complex game and, like any game, it is not for everyone.

We are currently focusing on performance and issues specific to/on consoles (after we focused on issues that were present on all platforms and on strengthening the foundations of the game up until the recent Steam Free weekend). We are still working on improving our existing mechanics (building, purge, AI, Thrall/Pet System) but are now also re-focusing on new mechanics and content.

We hope that we get to a point where our community can grow through word of mouth and because our players see the effort and our willingness to work with the community to improve the game.

Naturally, not everyone is happy with everything we do and it's understandable that sometimes it might seem like we are not able to have a fast enough turn around on issues that are deemed more important than others. Conan Exiles is also far from a perfect game, hardly any game is and we do have our share of challenges. That also leads to negativity and frustration. It's definitely not our intention to cause any of these on purpose.

So our way to combat this is by showing action and willingness to work with our community very closely.

As mentioned, hopefully we get to a point where the game is what, most players interested in it, want it to be, and those will also get their friends to play. Not because we tell them but because THEY (YOU) want them to :)

Development isn't stopping. Every 1 or 2 months this topic keeps being brought up and we just sit here all confused as we're still going strong on the game and working on all these cool things. Just because we took a few months off to focus on bugfixing doesn't mean that we stopped working on it :) As we said, keep an eye on our communication channels!

We try to take opportunities like this for all platforms when they present themselves and/or are made available to us :)

Thank you,

Always happy to take feedback like this back to the team as well :)

We try to engage as much as we can with the team available. I wish we could cover more bases though and are working on that :)

Welcome, we have some great people in our community. Helpful both in game to new players but also to us with feedback and suggestions. :)
There are also great private servers with amazing communities for any taste. The Conan Exiles Facebook group and Discord are good places to ask for help or server suggestions

Oh we are very aware. That is the reason we did focus on stabilizing and improving the core mechanisms end of last and yearly this year before adding more content. We learned from our mistakes last year. We feel now is a good time to at least starting to add more content again (because that is also important, especially to our more veteran players). You can adjust the Purge Meter for your single or co-op game (or private server).

it's being looked into currently. Yes.
