Just posting to check for interest, we're obviously an Ark loving community, but is anyone planning on getting or has, or wants to have, or otherwise after Conan Exiles? It looks like Conan'y good fun in a VERY similar to Ark skin, just curious, I've not bought it, Early access for me is a minefield, so I'd be waiting, but it does look positively awesome, and it does offer Server hosting...
Check it out bros

£26.99 is a bit steep for an early access game but apparently the character creation screen is worth the price of admission alone :blink:
used to play the conan unchained mmo so wont be touching this or any fun com games.
Looks very sexy I am interested
Quote from: smilodon;421472apparently the character creation screen is worth the price of admission alone :blink:
I think that's because you can choose your d**k size dude, I can't imagine anything else about it that'd make it worth that much haha!
For me, £27 is to high for something I know is going to be suffering the same issues early early Ark did, already reviews are saying rubberbanding, which was absoultely murder inducing on Ark!
Any particular reason Sneaky? Or just had enough of the Conan world?
Quote from: BrotherTobious;421476Looks very sexy I am interested
Bit like me then.
I'll have a look at this Sithydee.
Quote from: Penfold;421484I'll have a look at this Sithydee.
Thanks :D Not sure what else to promote discussion wise, I mean its definately being talked about in heaps, been highest played on Twitch etc, and it definitely is suffering some of the cruddy server side issues that early Ark did, but so far it seems limited to people playing on official servers..
Probably what I like best is the world is populated by other people in terms of PVE content, I mean why doesn't ark give us angry PVE tribes to go raid/ murder kill, or as you can do in Conan, ENSLAVE! Very cool indeed.
I think will be giving it some time to mature
I tried to resist, but it got me in the end!
Green Man Gaming and the code DEALZON brought it down to £21.59 so I have Conan Exiles now!
It's awesome O_O catch me on TS if you want to hear me yell about it and ARK :D
Quote from: BrotherTobious;421494I think will be giving it some time to mature
Like a good cheese!
looks good.
Powers that be. Are we going to stick a server up so we can have a look?
I'm currently playing on a Roleplay server that doesn't allow killing on sight or offline raiding etc if you wanted to join any time Arm, unless we hear more people getting interested :D

Excellent. Could you and Sithy decide between you what server rules you want? I would suggest we have a public server to attract players to the community but it does rely on the pubbies being non-twats.
i'll have a little look on some servers tonight. try some different flavours
Quote from: OldBloke;421626Excellent. Could you and Sithy decide between you what server rules you want? I would suggest we have a public server to attract players to the community but it does rely on the pubbies being non-twats.
OH Wow!
Thanks so much Oldie!
So far depending on number of players, I'd just like the harvesting ammount to be adjusted to at least 3.0 if its default is 1.0. The materials req for some stuff is astronomical if it's only a hand full of us playing.
Let me know what you find Arm
As sith knows I also own this game now and look forward to seeing how it plays out. So far it looks very much like ark in the ways it looks and feels but still is very fun so far and I look forward to playing more of it.
Can we have a TS room.
I played on a server last night. Standard survival game fair so far. Died a bit at the start, but now have a 2x3 box to live in, camp fire, small chest ect..
Before I logged of for the night, I thought I would kill a small camp of NPC's near my new home. Didn't go well :( So respawned in my house only to find the NPC's knocking on my door telling me "I had messed with the wrong People". Kinda cool.
Server settings last night were
Day Speed 10
Night Speed 1
Spoil Rate 0.5
Harvest Multi 2.0
Spoil rate could be slowed a bit. I logged on this morning and all my meat was rotten. Very Ark like.
I'll try a different server tonight.
Game itself is a bit glitchy and some lag.
Man I'm so glad you listed those settings aswell Armitage, I've been on one very similarly setup, and it feels a LOT more natural, the darkness is JUST too dark to have an elaborately long night, and my stack of meat grilled was spoiled before I needed even half of it..
How is the battle dynamic? Is it more refined than Ark and you can do combo moves and really fight with skill rather than poke and run?
As far i can see so far you have different attacks and can duel wild with certain weapons
I've stumped up and i'm willing to give it a go. I have to admit though. While graphically its not as pretty as Ark, somehow its managed to get more atmosphere in here. I think the obvious comparison to Ark should be avoided though - these are two fairly different games.
I would go for these server setting
PVE
Purest
Day Speed 10
Night Speed 1
Spoil Rate 0.5
Harvest Multi 2.0
Resource Respawn Speed Multi 2.0
Anyone can loot player corpses
Characters do not stay in game when logged out
Test server up. Search for 'Dead Men Walking'.
Grab me on TS if you're testing.
just fire up a local server, go to options > server settings. all available options are listed. Even if you get them 'wrong' initially, they can all be adjusted on the fly without having to restart the server.
This is what you get to choose from https://hastebin.com/cobavanunu.sql
real shame they're only offering a windows based server atm. :|
Ooops, wrote this last night but did not submit the post. late to the game....server is already up :D
The server is now up and running due to the amazing oldbloke that is oldie :D and with the help of no peanuts aswell the server is live and set to how we think is best to play this game, it might change tho while we find out the best way to play this game
Also Have this - meant to post last night - not had much game time - but enough to see it has some potential....time will tell
i might have just bought it... 30min download apparently..

Nice map to help us out.
Anyone new, We have a little camp on small island at R/12
Good find arm, thats a great start and way for people to find us :D
Day Time Speed 0.5 (smaller number days longer, less nighttime)
Night Speed 5 (greater number = quicker)
We adjusted a couple of things yesterday, it's not a problem changing/adjusting any of the available options as long as we're all in agreement.
We should be able to adjust the majority of things ourselves without having to trouble OB. Still need to work out if there's a way to restart the server via admin console, I suspect there will be a regular release of updates over the coming weeks.
I just happened to be online, when OB was bringing the server online and was given admin access. I'm more than happy to pass these magical powers on to whoever the 'official gameleaders' end up being and take a step back again.
Also happy to just lurk, and help out when summoned.
QuoteDay/Night Cycle
Day Cycle Speed â€" This multiplies the entire 24hr day cycle speed. Individual parts of the day can be tweaked in the settings below. Note, this multiplier is applied in addition to any settings changes below.
Day Time Speed â€" Daytime hours in Conan Exiles are between 7:00 and 16:59 ingame time. Changing this multiplier will multiply the time spent between these hours of the day.
Night Time Speed â€" Nighttime hours in Conan Exiles are between 19:00 and 4:59 ingame time. Changing this multiplier will multiply the time spent between these hours of the night.
Dawn/Dusk Time Speed â€" Dawn in Conan Exiles is between 5:00 and 6:59. Dusk is between 17:00 and 18:59. Changing this multiplier will multiply the time spent in the period of both dawn and dusk.
Day Speed 10
Night Speed 1
So at the moment we have the day 10 times longer than the night. (I think) Not sure what our Dawn/Dusk is, but could be a little longer.
We could set the Crafting Speed Multiplier to 2.0
According to youtube the day time speed is larger number = quicker, smaller than = longer time
This vid explains it from 7:40 onwards is the time config.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEIrQVTcROk
Gotta get the day speed right a longer dusk dawn will give us a lot more beautiful lighting which atm transitions in less than a minute I think, I'm TOTALLY agreeing with the crafting speed being a bit quicker, because it is a bit silly slow atm.
Besides that I think we're getting there...
Oh and lets not forget
MaxNudity=2 :norty: :norty:
And server difficulty MAX. Bring the pain. We can't have another Ark dominated to early!
After spending a good few hours on this game, I would like to give my opinions on the way th server is so far. You don't have to take notice of what I say but it's just how I feel. I think day time in the game does need to be increased, right now the sun flys over the sky at a crazy rate. I ain't sure how it all work about the length of day and night but the day does need to be slowed down so it Lasts longer, as for night I don't mind that at all. I know a few people hate the night but it's part of the game it's the horrible part of the day and as far as the survival aspect it's kinda needed, it gives you a time to be back at your base or at least a safe location.
Everything else seems good so far like arm and sith said maybethe crafting speed but then again it ain't that bad considering what your making, it's not like ark where you slow down when crafting( is it ? I haven't noticed this anyway). If people want to increase the difficulty we can but we stil ain't sure what out there yet, I play the game very causiously so I try not to put myself in much danger as other like to run in sword first and see no it goes haha :D I say we leave the difficulty for now because People are still dying quiet a bit :)

a new volcano and swamp area to explore
(Dunno if I'm.keen on the purge aspect of gameplay)..."With the purge the environment fights back to drive you from the land. You must ready your defenses as groups of frost giants, locusts, undead, relic hunters, gorillas or any of the many other groups of creatures or exiles in the area will attack your base. The type of purge attacking your castle depends on where you have built it."

I like the sound of the purge if it's similar to seven days to die's idea of hordes coming after you, adds great pve aspect. (the dev's have said it doesnt affect the southern region nearest the great river)
AND
That volcano and swamp have dungeons so far I've heard that are quite the epic adventure awaiting us...
Yeah, purge is pretty much depending on whereabouts you have your base/castle etc is dependent on type of monsters that attack.
""the more you and / or your clan builds, kill other players / NPCs, and plays, the more this meter will fill". Once the meter is filled, the Purge will kick in on a percent chance basis. If you are a solo player, Purge will target your holdings. If you are on a server with a fourth of the clans at the filled meter threshold, you have a 25% chance to get hit if you're a member."

Aha, that might explain why I re-spawned naked, with half my base having disappeared :) It's up and running though, did not notice any obvious issues whilst I was connected. Thanks OB.
Played about a bit last night, and the changes they've made have been huge, combat system is far better (although not perfect) having a shield.in hand allows you to block, now having the ability to dodge as well is great.
Also health bars and what i believe is the characters conscious (for knocking out your thrall and dragging him to work) are now displayed.
There still seems to be a few bugs, such as harvesting of essence from dead enemies etc doesn't seem to work.
Also been added is your characters perks (throwing points into survival for instance let's you get the ability to eat raw meat without being poisoned) which is nice addition, build system is still as good although not worked much with it yet.
If anyone needs any help let me know

Another patch released :ranting2: sorry to bother ya OB :)
Quote from: Milli;430965Another patch released :ranting2: sorry to bother ya OB :)
No worries. All done :thumb:
Release is scheduled for this week, I think we need to figure out if some of the new content hasn't transferred to our server, systems like the purge etc which are set at server creation. Personally I'm all for starting again fresh since it'll be official launch, and it'd be nice to hear if others besides just me and Milli come back to Conan!
Purge is live now sith, along with harvesting corpses.
But agreed, would like to see more ppl back playing also.
So was that a 'yes' to a fresh server install?
This might be important to others as well, but disclaimer I'm not saying rush out and buy this, I would just be annoyed if the price hike affected me:
QuoteAs the game leaves Early Access, the price of the game on PC will increase to 39.99 USD/EUR (from 29.99 USD/EUR). Please note that pricing may differ based on your region.
The price change will occur May 8th 2:00 AM CEST (May 7 @ 8:00 PM Eastern Time). The price of the Barbarian Edition will not change.
All the Official Servers will be brought down May 7 (today) @ 4:00 PM UTC / 6:00 PM CEST / 12:00 PM EDT to be wiped. They will be brought back up at launch, which is:
May 8 @ 11:00 AM UTC / 1:00 PM CEST / 7:00 AM EDT
Hopefully some other players respond Oldie, thanks for keeping up with us :-)
Worth adding as well that even though there are no dinos there are mounts incoming plus some other features that weren't quite ready for release day

I'd be in favour of a wipe i think, fresh start and all. I think Milli has the most time invested though so i'd be happy if the consensus was to not wipe.
Ah well looks like the rest want a wipe [emoji849]
[emoji24] Press the button oldie
But, guys please try it, it has the best building options in a game that I've played, and combat is pretty good too. £20 on Steam and refundable as long as less than 2 hours played I think

I enjoyed the hours on there in the first place so I will happily return to either a clean or the old server either is fine by me. It was a laugh and good game when we first got it. I will have to catch up with sith or Millie to see what has changed in It. I think I followed mera and she made health potions so will follow her again.
£26.99 on Steam. I've bought it :D
I'll setup a dMw server after full release.

Release day patch notes
https://forums.funcom.com/t/launch-day-patch-derketo-volcano-and-swamp-oh-my/4749
QuoteConan Exiles has finally launched! We started early access with a world map of just 15 squared kilometers. Now at full launch we’ve expanded to a full 40! This includes the vast dry desert, lush swamp to the east, the neutral city of Sepermeru and the gaseous Salt Lake to the west, and the molten volcano and frozen, snowy lands to the north. Whether you’re a returning player or a new one, you’re going to have a lot to discover in the new biomes. This includes deep and dark dungeons with treasures, forgotten ruins, monstrous creatures, and more we don’t want to spoil.
Important: Remember to remove mods if you’re unable to play/open the game!
Please note
Some of these fixes and changes (like the healing rebalance) has yet to make it to console. We’re working on getting this in as soon as possible, probably by the end of the week or early next week. Generally all three versions of the game are up to parity in terms of content.
Derketo
Now that launch day is here an entirely new religion will be made available to players. Derketo is the goddess of fertility and death, whose followers engage in sexualized and sometimes lethal rituals. Her dual nature makes her avatar a sight to behold: one half appearing as a beautiful woman, her body in the prime of life, while the other half is a rotting corpse and degenerated corpse.
Followers of Derketo will be able to craft a special knife, Derketo’s Kiss, that extracts unfulfilled desires from fallen enemies. These Slivers of the Unfulfilled can be used to turn deadly poisons into sweet honey, or when combined with insects, made into potions that will heal wounds and enhance the endurance of whoever drinks it. As their religious devotion grows, followers of Derketo can learn how to transmute vines into bread or oil into blood, before finally learning how to make the powerful Lusttaker, a sword touched by Derketo herself.
Volcano
Towering over the Frozen North lies the mighty volcano, with molten fury pouring across jet-black slopes. Those who dare challenge the crag can harness the power of Obsidian and discover a mysterious cult worshiping an unknown, ancient power. Within the volcano itself, explore the ominous light emanating from the Well of Skelos - those who brave its depths will be rewarded handsomely. Just beware the searing hot temperatures - who knows what ancient secrets lurk within! The volcano and its encounters are balanced for the most powerful of warriors to explore.
Not%20Mount%20DoomNot Mount Doom.jpg1787x969 365 KB
Swamp(o)
Follow the big river east and you will find the swamp. This huge new area offers deep jungles, wet marshes and a sunny coastline filled with pirates. You can build well-protected castles or even entire cities up in the massive trees of the swamp.
There are many new monsters to fight in the swamp and lots of places to explore, from the Pagoda of Boundless Lusts to Jamilia’s Liberty, a massive beached ship which the Black Hand pirates have made their home. There is also the Forgotten City of Xel-ha, the ruins of an ancient Lemurian city being devoured by the encroaching jungle and the Palace of the Witch Queen dungeon. The swamp has been made for characters between level 20 and 40.

Patch Notes
TL;DR
Player thralls now follow same rules as buildings for taking damage from players. Both PvE and PvE-Conflict servers will have invincible thralls.
Thralls should no longer fall under the ground while being dragged in singleplayer/co-op
Regeneration from healing potions now breaks on taking damage
Bandage healing now breaks on movement
Players now do 1% of their melee damage to buildings, this is controlled with PlayerBuildingDamageMultiplier
The Purge
Placeables should take same amount of damage as building pieces from players and NPCs
PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier server setting now uses per purge difficulty rather than server max purge value to calculate damage modifers. Previously a difficulty 1 purge could use the damage modifier for a purge difficulty 5 (20x instead of 5x) if max purge level was set to 5 on the server. Lower difficulty purges now deal less damage to buildings.
The server setting PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier can now be modified by server admins
New default values for “PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier = (5.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0)†where the 1st number and 6th number correspond to a difficulty 1 and 6 purge, respectively
Purge NPC damage modifier now based on strength of purge instead of purge max difficulty setting
Purge NPCs now do correct amount of damage to placeables (previously too low)
Healing Rebalance
Reduced the effect of the Receptive perk (Vitality 40) from +100% healing to +25% healing
Healing potions now take 10s to heal, increased from 5s. Total healing remains the same
Regeneration from healing potions now breaks on taking damage
Bandage healing does not break on damage and removes bleeds and cripples at the end of the effect
Bandage healing now breaks on movement
Bleeds now stack up to 20 times and lasts for 20s. Up from 10 stacks and 10 seconds. Bleed damage scaling per stack reduced
Removed drop from Grey Lotus Potion that overrode healing
Removed over-the-top healing values from the Grey Lotus Potion that overrode healing
General Balance and QoL Adjustments
Rebalanced the Mitra spear and Acheronian sickle
Slightly increased blocked rebound time for 2h spear heavy attacks
Slightly reduced blocker confirm time for 2h spear heavy attacks
Cripple effects for melee weapons have been reduced in efficiency
Lowered the damage of the sickles
Fixed issue where poison stacks could increase as it was ticking (caused by the weapon being listed as the “damage causerâ€, which could still be poisoned)
Also fixes issue where poison was affected by armor penetration of the weapon that caused it
Fixed a problem with target lock which would sometimes move the camera behind the player character, making it difficult to see the target
Max elevation at which you can place buildings is now 600 meters across the map. This fixes some building exploits in the volcano area (and should not impact players unless they are reenacting “Jack and the Beanstalk†story)
Added support for force-checking .pak files after a major game update
Player thralls now follow same rules as buildings for taking damage from players. Both PvE and PvE-Conflict servers will have invincible thralls.
Fixed balance issues related to stacking of reaper and scorpion poison
Reduced the max amount of death map markers to 3, to match the amount of max corpses you can have active at the same time
New Funcom logo video at startup
Players now do correct amount of damage to placeables (previously too high)
Bugfixing
Fixed a player collision problem when logging into a server with the setting active to leave offline characters in the world
Removed unarmed attacks from human npcs and gave them stone daggers instead to avoid players being able to obtain and equip unarmed attacks which bug out their characters
Fixed an issue with Steam achievement unlocking
Fixed a text cut-off issue with “take all†button
Thralls should no longer fall under the ground while being dragged in singleplayer/co-op
Thralls no longer damage their own base
Time restricted PvP building damage was preventing players from damaging each other
Fixed player owned Thralls could be killed outside of time-restricted PvP window
Dragging captured thralls should no longer cause them to fall through the ground.
Fixed a problem with not being able to use unarmed attacks or kicks, along with unarmed fist items showing up in inventories.
Fixed some water and sand rendering artifacts
Fixed a problem with DB backups resulting in too few backups being stored
Vertical and diagonal support building pieces should now work correctly (Previous fix was missing a data change)
Fixing another issue where pillars and other socketless connection building pieces could fail to give proper stability. Please report any issues you still encounter with missing building pieces.
New fix for “no owner†displayed on building and placeables.
Exploit fix: Fixed a visual and stats issue when selecting multiple weapons at the same time
Jaguars should no longer defy gravity
Fixed an issue that would make players invisible during attacks or rolls when they were on buildings
NPCs should now respawn after their former selves have been converted into a thrall
Admin teleport while a player is in character creation should no longer block character creation from finishing
Extra support to vertical and diagonal support building pieces has been reduced.
Crash Fixes and Optimizations
On singleplayer if you chain-crash 5 times while loading into the game then on 6th try you will be teleported to the desert
Fixed a crash related to making an item in a story-related altar
Fixed a server crash related to loading of clan logs
Fixed a crash related to double-clicking items in slots
Fix to make javelins have DM’s and not icons wrongly assigned, thus crashing the server
Fixed a crash related to removing items from slots
Fixed a crash related to RCON
Fixed a crash related to accessing the purge on game shutdown
Fixed a crash related to modified damage from players and NPCs
Fixed a crash in the purge system for new players who don’t do anything to register any purge events
Fixed a server crash related to display racks.
Added a potential fix from Epic for “device lost†crashes
Known issues
Blunted javelin does too much concussion damage. This will be fixed in the next patch
Elixir effects will be cancelled if you use a healing potion. This will be fixed in the next patch
Clothing & hair physics may sometimes stop working on the player character
If you are experiencing a “D3D device error†when launching the game then please try to clock down your gfx card by 100 or 200 MHz, especially if you have a factory overclocked gfx card.
It’s possible to get stuck in a constant state of rubber-banding. This may cause you to be unable to move on top of buildings and seems to be triggered with emotes. Removing your bracelet/suicide or getting knocked away by a teammate/enemy will fix this.
Emote books to learn “spit†and “fistpunch†are underground

Awesomeness ! Gives me enough time to cool off before joining you all. I will be focusing on mitra and building his healing items for the group. See you all at 5 :P
Then again the new sexual/lust and death goddess sounds fun and also gives healing items ;)
Yeah the new god sounds pretty cool, but.ill.be wanting to build at my same location if can still get there, and will be going with Mitra for same reasons but level 2 shrine also provides a water fountain

So any tips on which races/religions to sign up to?
Yog, eat people! Just don't forget to cook them first, you get poisoned, go figure that one!
Race has no impact as far as looks afaik
Religion on the other hand provide their own benefits (and i'm sure i read you can eventually learn all religions - or choose to follow another)
The 6 are
Mitra (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Mitra)
Yog (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Yog)
Set (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Set)
Crom (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Crom)
Ymir (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Ymir)
Derketo (https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Derketo)
I personally going with Mitra to start with as the ambrosia is a godsend (literally) with its health regen - and as previous mentioned her level 2 shrine gives access to a fountain, but they all have their own charms
I tried a NL based server for 2 hours this afternoon. I went with Yog, I never did any shrine stuff as the initial sgine costs 50 craft points. I reached level 12 already not dying once.
The thing I will say that backs up your advice Milli, regeneration of health requires a lot of food to get back from very low to full.
But I managed to survive killing about 10 other AI people.
sounds like they may have altered the levelling rate as well - as for all time i played i think i only got to lvl 25.
But yeah, will need to check up on it - but Mitra with Ambrosia is a saviour in the early game, although i'm sure the ambrosia can be shared even if you do not have mitra as a religion.
edit: The initial shrines to your god cost very little, its the upgrading that costs the time and resources

I've figured out the rubber banding, it's the same glitch Milli had last night, you can only crouch and walk about decently, unfortunately SUICIDE is the only way to fix it at the moment, then you should be fine.
So if you're suffering "remove your bracelet" from the esc menu, preferably near your bed/bedroll because its instant death.

It was Alberts Bed Roll on the floor that stopped him from fitting the ceiling tile so the spawn point mention was correct.
@OB....Just dropping a note, re:purge, in settings menu you can see the purge details etc there, and currently set at level 6 out of 6/7 with higher the number the more difficult it being [emoji85]. There are also sandstorm settings etc

We can't take them Millie, even if I have to bring my people up there to help we should be able to hold them off, this first one will be the real test.
So the server settings were changed to min 4 people to trigger a purge, level 1 purge strength, no more than 5 purges per day.
I see the purge target is something like 45,000.
I'd like to see more purges so can we lower this so we perhaps get 2 per week? So get this first one out of the way, the second and third we should be able to handle with the new settings and it would be nice to do this more often.

The purge meter is on the line now. Not sure what happens next, perhaps when 4 people are online it will trigger.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4518[/ATTACH]
QuoteThe purge does not happen in the southern-most areas of the Exiled Lands.
:byebye: Sithy.
So since the purge meter is maxed out we will get a purge happening tonight:
- when there are 4 people online
- and it's 18:00h
- the dMw clan will be attacked (purges are per clan)
- targeting a random building above the river.
- we'll get 10 minutes to prepare and - we'll have to endure waves until a 30 minute timer has expired
Admins, can we lower the purge duration please? If say 3 people are on the server and a 4th logs in but we are all dispersed and the purge locks onto my Eastern base, I doubt a single player could survive 30 minutes of waves of Hyenas or Terrabirds (or whatever they are).
Suggest 10 minutes for the first one, that is soloable I believe. Then we can ramp it up as we fortify.

I don't think we should. We've already dropped it down to the lowest level and I want some challenge in the game and to encourage us to work together.
If someone goes off to the edge of the map on their own then they need to be prepared to defend it.
Also increase the purge prep time to 30 minutes so folks can get to the purge from further afield.
And everyone remember to drop bedrolls and set respawn points.

A fair enough point, but I still think prep time of 10 minutes is too low. I can get back to the Milli/ Sith base from where I am in 30 minutes but not 10.

So when the time comes and I'm getting attacked, take a sharp right out of the river village, carry on for about 10 minutes, head north towards the river once you pass the undead cat things near the mountain range, hang a right, do not go up the path into the hills (ESE direction), or there are Rhinos and Panthers waiting for you, carry along the river until you reach Dereka's temple, head South for 30 seconds, all got it LOL

I won't have access until tonight but you can do it. Enter Admin Password then Escape back to menu options and select Settings -> Server Settings -> Purge and adjust the slider (done from memory so may be slightly different).
Hows does one become one of the purge as I seem to be attacking my own base most of the time?
I just noticed the purge meter has gone beyond the first line. Trying to find out what the lines actually mean.
OK, I'll have a look and see about setting the time to 30 mins.

Yeah agree with this, it's undoubtedly the chance you/we take if decide to go off exploring, it's a fair hike to the edge of Highlands/snow biome from where most are. Which is main reason where I started building where I did.
Within a pre existing structure with only one way in or out. Which should hopefully be easily defended.
With sithy and galatoni also up here now we should be okay but I reckon my first base will be the one that's targeted, just a hunch. Although night shift tonight and tomorrow so won't be around [emoji24]

So anyone got a clue what this thing is? Looks like a Rhino but doesn't give me thick hide, or horns, it gives exotic meat and small fangs and reptile hide. Total nightmare to kill alone, but managed 2 of them so far, ran from over 10.

The Purge is an NPC army that enters the map randomly, moves across the map towards the largest base to attack it. Players can attack it with a chance to capture a general.

Gotta say i'm more than a bit annoyed that dungeon run has already taken place - as I had said about a time when we all could go and do it and it was kinda agreed that not happening anytime soon due to Ark commitments and whatnot so I never ventured near it.

i haven't done it milli and would love to join you on doing it next time we or other are free
I do think that's a fair point.
Perhaps some more co-ordination would be nice to schedule these events. I think several people went off last night to do it and it was a spur of the moment decision.
I haven't done it nor has Sithy so I'd like to do a run but your point is well taken.
We had the same problem in Ark.
I'm not sure how we solve it really.
Hi Milli,
I think you'll find plenty volunteers to run it again. You get drops that are limited from it and I'm pretty sure folks will want to get them. I think the main thing is the staff that was dropped and that activates the Bat Tower.
I'll definitely come along with you to complete the task.
Cheers,
Bert

I take your point, Milli, and sorry this was done without you but it was just done on a whim with no forethought as to who was or wasn't on. It was very easy and I know it could easily be done again anytime by a small group as an ad-hoc event.
Having said that, let's all please make sure that any future dungeon runs (excluding Dregs) are advertised and that we try to get as many interested parties involved as possible.
It's the point that for the first time doing the dungeon I was trying to bring all together to do it, or at least as many of us we can. As I know the issues yous have had in ark, and don't want the same in Conan.
The dregs opens up new recipes for crafting as well, the bat tower is irrelevant as the albino bat hits like a truck so it's still gonna be a few levels till we able to kill it, get it's blood and activate the staff.
I might be over reacting a bit, after a night shift, but this is definitely a game where later on we going to need to do things together as a group as duo/ 3 man's will get slaughtered (well on pre release it was that tough)

And I get it was perhaps done on a whim OB, but I had already asked other day if can all donut together...that's the annoyance here. But it is what it is

Ill take the blame Milly .. I didnt know you were holding off to do it as a group event and just asked if anyone wanted to come have a look. Sorry
Saying that tho people are on and offline at different times so finding a day to suit all will always be tricky. The dregs tho is a very low level dungeon and the recipe stuff is already below our crafting level.
Im happy to run it a few times if people want to farm any of the rewards
Likewise sorry. In my defence I had no idea where we were going, just that there was a general 'Lets go look at a cool cave' and I tagged along. I need to learn the names of these places before they pop up on my screen all covered in blood and it's too late.
Wefound a dragon up the north west earlier, wiki says 34,000+ HP, in perspective a Rhino is 1250 HP. Move along nothing to see here, marked on map.
As Penfold said, the same thing would happen on Ark whenever we tried to set up a group event there.
The 'problem' with these games is you have a fairly large group playing, with everyone having different availabilities. Some play only a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and some sink 37 hours in every single day. We call the latter ones 'Penfolds'.
As a result there are always groups looking for the next thing to do, or just exploring and happening on things without realising what it is they're doing. Sometimes people simply don't read the forums, a constant battle when it comes to LAN stuff (cough go do the survey cough :D).
It's unlikely these decisions are ever made with malicious intent to 'spoil the fun'. When the game moves so fast within the community this is just much more likely to happen.
The only thing I can think, with regards to how to try and organise these events better (so that more people are aware of them and thus less likely to go ahead and tick them off prematurely by mistake), would be to set some sort of alert on the discord. More people would see that, I think...
For example, if we could set up a 12 hourly alert (like the bot posts) in a text channel for the game, this could advertise what we were planning to do and when. Keeping it in its own channel also stops it annoying anyone that isn't involved, the channel can just be muted.
To make this work, you'd likely just have to set a time and date right away, rather than trying to get a poll / consensus together first. The more time you take planning the more likely it is people go ahead and do it beforehand. You have to get things moving fast, as you can't always ask the 37 hour a day players to wait for the others to catch up.
Anyway, just some food for thought. The bottom line is as frustrating as it can be milli, you can't take it personally (because it isn't personal). It's just part of the difficulty of organising stuff for a group!
The albino bat was an easy 2 man kill. Happy to do the dungeon again.
Just wondering if anyone knows what happened to my Level II female carpenter at the main water base?
There's now a male level II there so I can someone took a fancy to her or got her killed?

If you press escape and click event log pen it should say what's happened

There has been an update for Conan, this also means the server i think needs a restart to update else the ones who have downloaded the update cant play :sad:
Seems we have an update that has rolled out today. If you plan on playing, don't launch steam, start the exe direct and don't update your client. The server is running fine with the old version and folks are playing. (Not me unfortunately, auto update).
Cheers,
Bert

Ahh I see she's back. Guess someone took a shine to her big booty.
No problem. If you'd like to add her to your amason tribe then please do take her and swap her out for another. :-)

A few reasons Milli:
1) Most people need 2 types of armour to a) in the volcano and b) to run to your place. Which means...
2) Encumbrance is severely limited when using cold weather armour so little point in grinding in there if you can only take back a few things.
3) We'll always need to go in there for gold, like forever, so having a map room close by is a time saver and risk reducer over time.
That's as someone who has died like 6 times getting to your place already because of Frostbite, and half the time we have this bugged OP dancer buff, when that gets fixed it'll be even worse.
Oh and I can't have anyone enjoying your lovely beautiful map room (joke). :norty:
I didn't try and put it inside the volcano, the space is limited and the heat damage/ poison anywhere too far from the Cult shrine is really hard to manage.
4) Oldie needed to place a map room for a journey step :norty:

Just saying only because the amount of materials needed bud that was all.
But, I've found only need to take silent legion armour in, (get this done for you tonight if on?), As with the survival buff with temperature effects diminished plus passive regen pretty much negates damage that the cold causes (only Frostbite will then damage but countered sufficiently with buffs)
Downside of silent legion armor is that it is classed as heavy armor, so weight reduction/flexibility kits are advised. But the 900 armor pretty makes you a tank.
Also handed to do is always carry a couple of mind wipe potions (yellow lotus), then you can respect into more carry weight as you see fit while still maintaining the strength/vitality
I'm currently running
Strength 40 (heavy attacks increase (as I use right click pike))
Agility 10 (sprint reduction)
Vitality 30 (temperature diminished, passive healing)
Accuracy 0
Grit 10 ( climb)
Encumbrance 20 (crippling effect reduction)
Survival 0
Leaves you with 25 points to spend elsewhere you please

Folks, who has built a box building slightly west of the Derketo temple with steps up the the temple plateau? It's the one with a wheel of pain in there.
Just an FYI, there are some rather rare iron nodes right under that building that are no longer accessible. It's also a 10 second run round from an existing wheel of pain and if getting up the cliff was an issue, simply asking me to build steps would have saved all that work to build another so close. It's the iron resource that I am lacking and missing most now :angry:
As a gift I caught you a Gnash The Hungry and a Mei The Blade and they are in your wheel now.
Whilst I'm grumping, who as adopted the rather annoying habbit of replacing the silk torso garments on male dancers with sack clothing? It's was done in the Star Tower in my room and no another has appeared on my thrall wheel platform in the East near the above mentioned temple.
C'mon, please cut this out, it's petty and annoying.

That was me, I didn't build on top of the nodes but obviously too close to stop them spawning. Also i didn't realise your place was as close when i built it.
I have destroyed it all so enjoy the metal :sad:

The nodes were up against the wall that the foundations were on top of, they've respawned now, cheers.
Just use the wheel round the bend from there mate, it's got a named slaver on there and if you want to fortify the area go right on ahead, or build stairs.
I just like to leave things as natural as possible incase people want to use resources or infiltrate the temple the old fashioned way.

Ok so being a relatively calm person, but I seriously do think the child who is still doing this should have their backside skelped and given a warning they have to grow up.
Now one of my thrall dancers in the volcano has no upper body clothing (looks like sack to me as I don't enable nudity).
Only the one, so it's not a bug (I also checked this). I will be making a complaint about this in the game leader section and really should you decide to man up and come clean, I will accept an apology, last time I'm offering this, next time I will ask for a ban.

Albert - I know you've asked for this to cease already, and i'm sure ppl have read it here and if so now will cease to do it seeing as you are significantly annyed... but perhaps there is a bug

I know you said that other thralls are not changed but perhaps its just a random bug?

That bug is in single player only, I already researched it and it only happens if you have already replaced clothing which I have not and not in multiplayer.
As I calmly said, (as in not significantly annoyed) if the person comes clean, issue closed. I haven't seen or heard anyone else reporting this, it's only on my dancers (in order to not disturb fighter etc. which is considerate) so clearly one person thinks winding me up is fun, I just think it's immature.
Anyway, for the sake of tranquility, I'll not raise it here again.
If someone was doing it, it was done as a joke and will presumably now stop. I'd be disappointed if it didn't.
Whether it's single or multi player, it's still a known bug on current build. I'm just saying that after your last post, I'd have expected it to stop and looking for other reason than ppl trying to wind you up bud.
I can't comment as I don't change what my thralls wear

haven't made it to the volcano yet...I didn't even know there was a nudity option. But agree prob done as a joke or server game issue
I can't believe any of the current players are childish enough to do this after you already asked for it to stop.
Never been to volcano and haven’t been on in a week since I was away. Hopefully what ever is happening stops if it’s annoying you so much.
