Now I really want one.
Now I really want one.
Tencent works closely with the Chinese government. If this goes through you’ll practically be working for them.
Lots of Western companies work closely with their respective governments as well. Would we be practically working for those governments if another company was buying us?
Can I ask why any DLC before the new map has been claimed to be cosmetic only, yet share insanely differing attribute and temperature bonuses?
I'm told it was for balancing reasons.
This will seem like I'm calling out funcom, but I'm not because this happens all over the gaming industry.
It strikes me as odd that so often gamers learn of updates, upcoming games, DLCs, etc. not from the company talking to us/the customers, but from the company talking to shareholders.
I'm not 100% sure on the details, but apparently this was something we had to mention in the stock notice.
Oh good, something else we can throw money at. 9 paid DLCs (8 at $10 and 1 at $6) in less than 2 years on a $40 game. Fan f**king tastic idea.
Whether you spend money on it or not is up to you, in in the end
We are talking about PC version?! What will happen to that version after Tencent take over ?!
The PC version will remain as is
Read moreWhich is exactly why some of us will never buy the console version. Down with censorship. If that happens with the pc version you are going lose a lot of customers.
Edit - just to add, if/when this deal goes through I will never again buy any Funcom product so long as they are under Chinese ownership. I have supported this game since beta but not a dime of my money is going to a Chinese-owned game company. I say this with complete sincerity: f**k the Chinese government. They are an authoritarian regime trying to expand their cultural influence beyond their borders, and one of they ways they accomplish this is exactly this kind of buyout of western companies and IPs so they can dictate the content. I’m getting sick and tired of companies bowing down to their new Chinese overlords, and I will never support a video game company that is owned by them or working with the Chinese government in any way. It’s the reason I will never play a Blizzard product ever again, and I...
Well it's a good thing we're not working with the Chinese government, then.
You guy should add voiced characters that can be enthralled that offer some kind of relationship building. It'd be cool to defeat XX in combat and make them join my clan for example. The world kind of feels hollow.
That's not a bad idea. Thank you for the suggestion
Well yeah, lots of money so it's positive for you and yours but not anyone else.
More resources means we have, well, more resources. Which will help us improve Conan Exiles further
I like how you didn't state it would never happen. Which is pretty much a guarantee you are planning to do it.
It was more to point out that censorship is already happening. There aren't plans for us to censor the nudity on a world-wide level. It's one of the things that made the game such a huge success. Why would we remove that from the game?
Please make it part of the world map and not separated! We could use much more space. Even a second starting zone with more to do in the easier areas so new players can spread out.
Thank you for the feedback. I can't talk details about the new map yet, but all will be revealed at a later date :)
Please fix the single player physics breaking with character height other than zero. It was reported but never fixed...
This is on our list of things to fix :)
Any time :)
The news are both exciting and scary, as it adds alot of unknowns. One of my questions would have been if FunCom would do something similar to GGG and Path of Exile (which saw Tencent do a Majority share last year of 80%).
Basically a western client, which GGG works on and a Chinese client mostly headed by Tencent (I believe).
I think the prospect of Conan Exiles getting censored region (world) wide to fit a Chinese market is one of the things that has Reddit riled up (among other things such as change in the monetization model).
Nevertheless, some of these we can't answer yet I think, and only time will tell I supose.
(Personally I think it's exciting as I can see how it would broaden FunComs horizon, which is always nice.
But scary because of: a) Mega corperations buying out a ton of companies (looking at you Disney) and b) the censorship. )
I shall wait with bated breath :D Gl!
We absolutely understand why some of our community would be a little put off by this. The nudity won't be censored world-wide. It's part of what helped Conan Exiles become the success it is, so there's no reason for us to change that. :)
Hey there,
There was a temporary override of server settings, but it was fixed within the next server restart cycle.
The fix for this issue is coming with the next big patch. No ETA yet, but we're aiming to release at the tailing end of this month, beginning of next one.
That should be the option, yes.
You can also change the limit of that cap with the sliders below that box (Thrall and Pet population base value and per player) in case you'd still want to have the cap in place.
At this point I'd like to thank you guys for Age of Conan and Conan exiles. You gave me good times and good memories.
Thank you for playing.
Hi, JEV. I don't care too much about share ownership. What I really enjoy is the game design and artwork you guys produce. I bought Conan Exiles when it was still early access. I still play it today. I have all the DLCs. I'll get the Dune game too, if it interests me.
That being said, will Dune have nude models and outfit designs like that we see in Conan Exiles and saw in the Conan MMORPG? It is one of the biggest and a unique reason I come back to your game.
Unfortunately I can't talk about the Dune game and what will or won't be in it.
Hey, I have faith in you guys. Tencent also bought a majority stake in Grinding Gear Games. I still love Path of Exile. Based on evidence, I believe you guys will continue to make great games.
Thank you :)
That would be all great if Tencent just left you guys do your own thing, but you and I know that’s not happening.
They left us to do our own thing when they acquired 29% of our stocks earlier this year. They've left the other Western developers to their own thing as well, so this won't be any different.
