Conan Exiles - don't pretend you've not seen it!

[OldBloke]

Can someone please give the Conan Servers a kick.

Doing it now.

[OldBloke]

Doing it now.

Nope. Can't connect to server. Be a bit longer ...

[Penfold]

No problem. Thanks for checking Oldie.

If nothing else, I got a lot of work done today so there's that. :thumbsup2:

Okies, most have found their feet in the game, and I've been looking up on what should be our first dungeon run.... To the dregs.

Soloable at level 30 seemingly, so we (hopefully) shouldn't have too much difficulty in taking the abysmal remnant.

When would suit most?

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 know its not the most challenging thing in the game beating the Dregs, but when I already asked if could do this as a group for it to then be done has wound me up most of today.

i haven't done it milli and would love to join you on doing it next time we or other are free

[Penfold]

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

[smilodon]

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 ).

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!
