We’ll look into it.
This sounds like a great project

Hi there @blitz2006id

I am sorry to hear that and quite surprised. Feel free to send us a DM with what exactly you had issues with, and we can maybe check with Gportal directly.

Thanks for taking the time to write down your personal thoughts in a constructive way.
We’ll definitely keep an eye on this and the follow up discussions happening.

Great topic!

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback

Do you really believe that is true? Do you really think we’ve never listened to properly presented arguments, ever or we ignored them despite being helpful and constructive? Or less than to the ones that screamed louder? This is not a trick question as I am genuinely interested if you feel that we don’t listen or ignore constructive feedback. We constantly listen to people who give us well thought out and logical feedback. Even though it’s much less obvious to spot, that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Often.

It’s a very common thing to fall pray to the vocal minority that screams the loudest. Everyone doing the job w...

I like baths. Bathing in tears is the best.

(I am joking, obviously, please don’t hate me).

Except that the screaming and kicking part wasn’t the reason we reverted this for now.
If that was the case we would have had a lot more situations like these. Believe me when I say there are enough instances were kicking and screaming doesn’t get you want you want with us. It’s the least of the defining factors.

We are actually more thoughtful and take as many facts and details into account as we can. In this case there were many different aspects playing into the situation and all of them were taken into consideration.

We decided to re-enable Family Sharing for now until we can:

• Implement the fix so family sharing can’t be abused by players we have taken action against. This will of course happen ASAP.
• Decide how to proceed with family sharing after we implemented the code above with our different communities and their play-style in mind.

We will talk to Valve and ask them to flip the switch. We don’t know exactly when that will happen but it should be sometime today so please keep an eye out.

A few additional notes:

• We realized, that the way in how some players used this feature, was way beyond what we had anticipated.
• There was no malintent towards any of our different communities who play Conan Exiles.
• There was no relation to the steam summer sales ending in regards to when we disabled this as assumed by some players.

Thank you again for your understanding and feedback ...

Hello Exiles,

as some of you noticed, we asked Valve to temporarily disable family sharing, after we were in discussions with them.
Here is the info on how this happened:

As you know, we do take actions against players in very extreme cases in which we also have indisputable proof. However, we did notice that some players, we took actions against, managed to get back online and keep on doing their shenanigans.

After some investigation we realized that steam’s family sharing enabled them to get back into the game despite being banned from our official servers. So in short: Family Sharing was the reason that players that shouldn’t be able to play the game, were still able to do so. After discussions with Valve we got more info on how we can solve this from our side.

Family sharing was never supposed to be available with Conan Exiles and we didn’t think the feature would be of any benefit other than dodge the bans mentioned above.

...

We do understand where the notion is coming from and that “beta” gets thrown around as a derogatory term. Sometimes, it’s used for lack of better words as players want something to be improved.

We are also very aware that Conan Exiles is not perfect. It’s a complex game with pretty complex game mechanics. It might not be obvious or feel that way but even the simplest of games is more complicated than what people generally assume it is.

Sandbox survival games are even more extreme in that regard and different beasts. They give the players a lot of freedom, which means the developer has much less influence over what the players are going to do in the game. It’s one of the defining aspects of sandbox games that give you a lot of freedom to make the game what YOU want it to be. It also means it’s a different experience for everyone. For some it’s a good one and for some it’s not. It also means we are learning almost daily about things we weren’t even aware of to be possib...

We are currently looking into options

Hello Exiles,

It has been very humbling to see how passionate many of you are and how much you care for Conan Exiles to improve and evolve. Many of you have been constantly posting suggestions, detailed reports and repro steps for issues that made our lives easier to improve on the game and fix issues more efficiently.

Some of you are even going out of your way to inform and help players on all other platforms such as reddit, social media and steam on top of the official forums. This dedication and passion do not go unnoticed and as you might know by now, we would like to give something special back in return.

Ah shame!
But also welcome to the CE community

Because it’s an important question I want to ask here as well:
Anyone planning to go to Gamescom in Cologne in August?

…The Conan Unconquered developers at Petroglyph would like to see you try!

Using Conan Unconquered’s brand-new Challenge mode-feature, they now provide you with a link to test your skills on the exact same map, against the exact foes, as they played on themselves.

By selecting Challenges in the game menu and using the code L3M9BM9 , you can see if you have what it takes to beat the developers. The top five scores ...

Yes, we know about the issue but that doesn’t mean it is an easy or fast fix.

It doesn’t help if you go out sharing it with everyone. Contrary to popular believe, we are not holding a fix back out of spite, and posting it on reddit definitely does NOT help the developers figure out a fix faster.

All it does is ruin the game experience for more players and puts more pressure on the community team, which is not involved in fixing the bugs in the first place.

Hello Exiles!

In our ongoing effort to increase communication with you, collecting bugs, updating you on status of issues and generally being around and making sure your input is seen and heard: We have a new community member joining us today!

Please meet @Hugo!

My name is Hugo and I’m both happy and excited to be part of the Funcom family!
I will be working together with Ignasi as part of the Community Support, so you are likely to see me popping around.

To share a bit of Hugo lore, I’ve been a passionate gamer for over 25 years now and, although I’ve played games in most platforms and still own a few consoles, I do most of m...

I am not sure I understand you correctly.
Are you asking if you can have the rights to re-sell Conan Exiles through steam?

The community team is a direct part of the development team and fully employed and on location with the rest of Funcom. We have direct contact with the rest of the team.

I am going to repeat what Ignasi said and what is indeed a FACT:
There is no actual traditional admin password treatment or any other means that would allow someone outside of Funcom to access any admin settings on our official servers. (I am not going into details on how this is set up from our side for obvious reasons). Yes, the panel is indeed there but it doesn’t serve
