Thanks for the reply and the community communication. If we do see particularly egregious instances of building griefing (walling off bosses, only routes into some areas, etc), how do we go about reporting that to you?

Also I have been getting a bug where in some parts of my base it says the land is already claimed, even though I already have crafting stations there. I discovered this when I removed some crating stations to reposition them and now I can't put them back down where I need them. If this continues should I report it to your dev team and if so, how should I do that? Thanks.

Best way to report issues is on our official forums and send a PM to someone in the community team :) Any kind of bug report is best placed on our official forums too. In the respective sections for the platform you play on. We can then look into it and let you know if the issues is known or if we need more information.

I'll suggest it to the devs! If you're in the same clan you should be able to see each other's icons on the map :)

No of course not, I didnt mean to imply that either. You guys are the experts and Im just throwing ideas that's all. I have full faith in you and your abilities - and know that these things are incredibly complex.

Thank you for giving me a few moments of attention and hope you also know it's all meant

in the best way possible, out of support and love for the game and you guys' work :)

We totally know and we're humbled and appreciate whenever someone takes the time to help us with constructive feedback or suggestions. Even if we can't always act on it.

Can you make it so that when it rains outside the stuff inside my house doesn't get wet?

That's something that comes up quite a bit. It's pretty tricky to fix and since it's more of a "nice to fix for immersion" than "game breaking and can't play at all" it's lower priority. We are aware that players are reacting to it though.

I dont think it should have a limitation either, its what makes conan so diverse in terms of buildings and designs etc. An idea was that activity buildings act like tool cabinets / decay slowers. So fx - if there are blacksmiths or carpenter benches (basically all the placeables that players interact with) near a block it decays slower - if not it decays faster - and the less there is in x radius range the faster it decays. So if you build a wall thats 2 km away from your castle with no interaction buildings in x ranges the wall decays faster. and the rate of that is then connected to amount of activity buildings and activity interaction ? something somthing, im no expert - just had a brain fart XD

Our designers have many ideas as well but changing the system would mean a lot of development time. It's definitely not something that would happen over night :)

I see! Yes it looks really interesting :)

Maybe something like their tool cabinet mechanic could help lessen foundation spam - in the way that if the blocks donw have a cabinet in range they decay faster. I have some few raw ideas how that could be, I can mail them to you guys or send a PM or whatever is easiest.

Seriously love the game, thank you and thank you to the team from Denmark <3

That is how our system works, too. However, we do not have any limitation in place regarding how big you can build or how much (other than that the stability requirements need to be met)

No thank you for this wonderful game. I already bought the Yamatai DLC pack as a thank you.

That's really great to hear. Since all game mechanics and new content is being added for free we do appreciate players investing into our DLCs :)

I've only been playing a couple months (payed full and no regrets) and I love the game. Looks like I missed out on a lot of problems though, so I may be a bit biased.

And as primarily a single player gamer of Exiles, all I ask is you give us some love too. Better server options, balancing, etc. I realize we may not be your "core" audience, but we exist and enjoy the game too.

Still, awesome work from what I've seen so far guys. You're pushing out better content faster than some AAA devs are.

It's appreciated .

There really is no such thing as a "core audience". We do have a very dedicated single player audience that is equally important as any of our other players groups. A lot of our very dedicated and fantastic builders are using the benefits of SP due to the admin panel options :)

What do you mean by "better server options"?

I dont know if this question even has an answer but I'm an NA player that had trouble finding a decent NA server with spots. After not finding any servers ne and my friends started playing on an Asia server, we connected well and rarely lagged. Everything has been good for the last week, until the patch today, now every time I search for my server it says its invalid with skyrocketed ping.

Anyways, my question is am I just out of luck now? Or is this something that happens from time to time?

We are monitoring the different server locations and keep an eye on demands and server loads. I doubt we changed anything in a patch that would lead to what you are describing. Which server# were you playing on?

Loving this game since psn drop. I hadn't heard of it tbh, but I've found myself dropping my other games and all I can think about is progressing on conan, not been this addicted to a game since swg back in my pc days 2003. So much fun.

Oh yeah! I remember being hooked to SWG (until they changed the ruleset -.-)

Use to play ark with friends. Heard about Exiles before it dropped but decided not to pick it up because my pc is a potatoe and could barely handle ark. Was pleasantly surprised a couple days ago when it was on ps+. Hadn't even known it was available on console. Been playing the last couple days and I like it. I feel like it improved all the parts of ARK that frustrated me, and because of the npcs I feel like I won't miss out on most of the experience if I play single player.

Both Ark and CE have their own strengths which is the great thing about choice (or why not play both?).

Really glad you gave Conan Exiles a chance :)

I recently joined in as well and I have to say, that even though I f**king hate the spiders, the community is actually quite friendly, every si glen player I've met is quite mature and friendly, some of them just wanted me to kill them but anywho. I'm LOVING this game so far, it's also super awesome with friends as well, I know I'm gonna enjoy this game for months to come.

The spider community can be a bit skittish. I think they are also a bit misunderstood. After all, everyone is looking for friends and wants to be loved, right? ;)

(PS4) Why not increase capacity for EU servers? At least make it 50. The only time player count hasn't been an issue logging in is like midnight to like early morning. Then it's 40/40, 39/40, 38/40 for the rest of the day and I have to spam favourites from anywhere like 2 minutes to half an hour, once it had taken me an hour.


Also I don't know if you take suggestions here but perhaps in the friendly NPC city, give some of the merchants a bit more items you can buy with silver/gold because only 1 item is a bit lame.

And on Co-Op, add player markers so I don't have to get tethered constantly and as I can't see the other players if it's a dense area.

On PS4 you can't use a lot of weapons in first person like PC. Would be nice to use bows in first person as well.

Lastly, it would be nice to be able to leave my OWN clan without losing everything I own.


Less serious (But still welcome):

Another suggestion, can we have ...

The slot cap is in place to not cause more issues for players in regards to performance. We are however monitoring constantly and are also constantly working on performance improvements. So we will see what the future brings.

Sepermeru (the friendly NPC city, as you call it :)) is getting a revamp with our next update ;)

Great communication, thank you. The only thing that hasn’t been addressed is the loading bar bug. I feel like this is a separate issue than the max server capacity, as my server is 22/40 capacity but the bug doesn’t let me join. I don’t mind waiting a bit if the capacity is full, I understand you’re working hard and I’m patient to get in. But it’s frustrating to not be able to join my server for several days even though there is plenty of space.

This happens when you try to connect to a server the same time it fills up.

When this happens it's best to immediately exit and try to reconnect.

As a newcomer to this community, and coming from Ark’s community, it’s great to see this level of communication.

A couple of ideas from a PS4 player that I haven’t seen on this thread:

Is there any plan to improve some of the UI interface stuff? Like with crafting and the hot bar radial wheel thing? For instance:

Having a folder view for craftables would be great. Once you start learning lots of feats, you have to scroll through a huge list of stuff. While you can filter it so only some stuff is highlighted, you still have to scroll through tons of stuff. I often times find myself scrolling past something. Perhaps a search feature here would help too.

An easy way to move single items to another inventory. If I have 500 wood and want to put 10 of that in a campfire for fuel, I would have to split it up a ton of times. Or just move it all and take it back when I’m done.

If the radial wheel would remember what was in it last and would auto fi...

We are definitely looking into improvements to the UI. Iirc there are already some internal changes made.
In general it is a case of priorities and what we need to improve first. Quality of Life improvements (as most of your suggestions would fall under) are generally a little but further down the line when it comes to priorities. We know it is important for players too but we do need to prioritize more critical or pressing issues first :)

With that said, we are aware that players have several ideas on how to improve the UI and make it more user friendly.

This is not up to us but dependent on the Platform holders and ESBR agreements/laws :)

I really want to avoid being one of “those” people but I can’t seem to enable nudity offline? I’m based in the UK. I’m not one of those people who only bought the game for the nudity, I’m a big Conan fan and a fan of the game but after a while away I’ve returned and I can only enable nudity when I’m online? It just doesn’t work for offline solo for me. It’s not a game breaking thing I just think having the option of making the game more adult makes it more immersive

It just doesn’t work for offline solo for me.

It absolutely should.

Please make sure you set the nudity setting both from the settings menu and also when you are in game. Due to user safety and child safety settings you do have to set it twice.

Thanks for the update for us Noobz. I think I can speak for a lot of newcomers that this game was a welcome surprise. Conan went under the radar for a lot of players when it launched and now people who are just trying it because it was free on PSN have realised it's actually really good and are hooked (me included!).

Here are the biggest issues I have seen cropping up for all the players I have met:

I have played for about a week on PS4 and the biggest thing that players I have met are complaining about is actually getting into a server. So it's good news you are adding more and extending the delay. In the EU the official servers are so few and hard to get into in the evening I've had to give up and switch to American ones instead. The lack of a server queue is a massive annoyance as players have to literally sit there and spam the join button if they want to get in the server where their friends or base is.

The other big issue is lag - even on EU servers...

We are constantly working on improving performance on consoles as well as on PC.

The griefing on the Servers we offer for free is really disheartening. As our servers are not like mmo servers and since Conan Exiles does not have a subscription model we do not have traditional mmo GM support. We have and will keep adding mechanics to counter these kind of behavior game mechanic's wise as much as we can. We do act in very extreme cases and if we have clear evidence presented where we can act very efficiently if needed. It's always very saddening to hear when players' main objectives are to ruin others enjoyment of a game.

Thanks for the input and sharing your experience (positive and negative) with us :)
