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 :)

That looks fantastic! I especially love the entrance design. Also, did you have any specific inspiration for that unique overall shape design of the building?

I love how this looks. Reminds me of Scandinavian Longhouses :) Thanks for sharing!

As a Release Cordinator, I would have to, again, call out your LIVE team and upper management for the snafu.

Did you run pretest with sims before it? It is marketing’s fault for pushing it before tests were done?

Yeh...poor management

Estimates??? What estimates? Throw sim clients in until the server breaks then you know.

It’s not rocket scientist, but it is science.

I am not sure what you are referring to here? We are talking about estimates for new players coming in with the PS4 Plus offer and overall server amount available. Not Server slot capacity changes.

I'm having some serious issues with the games performance on the ps4 pro, while my friends and even my own regular ps4 have no issues. Other friends will pro's are reporting the same issues as me, it looks like lag, like the games freezing but its not a network issue. Any word on a fix?

Our Tech Team is currently running tests and looking into the issue. I can't give any ETA, though. Sorry about that.

Is there any chance the ps4 performance issues, especially on pro, are being worked on? I love this game, it is wonderful...when I can do anything. I can’t count the number of times I’ve died due to npcs being invisible with just a floating name plate or wolves appearing stuck in one place but actually hitting me invisibly. Had a purge last night and I couldn’t see anything, luckily my friend on a regular ps4 could see it all and we only suffered minor losses.

That being said, this game is pretty awesome. I thought ark was the best game of this type but this one is pretty close. The only thing stopping it from being at the top is the performance issue. Purges are my favorite!

it's being looked into currently. Yes.

You guys are doing so well! As someone that bought the game when it was first released, I can see the immense amounts of effort poured into the game, and I'd go to the ends of the earth to defend the experience to any doubters lol. It's such an endlessly cool experience. Thank YOU for pursuing improvement. I can't tell you how many times devs have just abandoned ship on a game I had high hopes for. Funcom is badass. <3

Thank you. We are certainly not perfect by any means but we try to learn from mistakes and improve. A vote of confidence is always appreciated :)

The fact that your live team didn’t predict or prepare for the influx is directly on the shoulders of your entire live staff.

It is easy to predict and build for influx...so why didn’t you?

We did prepare but preparations and estimates can never be 100%. Let's just say that in this case it was overwhelmingly different than we anticipated. Which is the reason we are adjusting now.

That looks incredibly cosy. Love the angle you did take the shot from.

You should totally share more detailed shots from the different interiors and buildings :)

Thanks for sharing!

That looks great - I love the light situation you have going :)

Hello Exiles!

First of all, WOW and welcome to all the new additions to our community.

Since the free weekend on Steam and the current PS4 Offer with Conan Exiles being free for PS plus users for the whole month, we had a HUGE influx of new players. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey and thank you for letting your friends be a part of this experience as well.

Reddit, the forums and other channels have been exploding with experience recaps and first impression topics, screenshots and questions. Many of you Veteran Exiles have stepped up to help the newcomers with tips and tricks. We see you and thank you for taking the time to welcome and help new players into the fold.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the unexpectedly high influx of new players on PS4 has had an impact on our official servers, causing issues for players to log...

Really enjoying the game thus far, also an ex-ark player. It obviously has a lot more thought on gameplay than just adding content but be wary of adding too much too fast, thats the mistake Ark made. The more recent dlc showed signs of this as they dont have furniture crafting stations, also ymir needs fixing.

Is there going to be a way to speed up purge meters for semi regular players? I am on most evenings but often miss a day for real life commitments. This keeps my purge bar low even when others in my clan are on. It would be nice if you could attach thrall npcs to crucifixes instead of the wheel of pain to increase the purge meter.

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).

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
