In a world where no game is perfect, I continue to be pleased with the progress Conan Exiles keeps making. I’m also happy that Funcom has been sticking to its promise to keep all content that was expected in alpha free to players. Both of these points were demonstrated in the survival game’s latest major update. But let’s be real, we’re here to talk about the one really important thing. Pets! Yes, pets. That much-desired feature that didn’t make it in before launch was finally implemented, and that makes for one very happy MJ. Along with pets (did I mention pets?) came a slew of specialty arrows, a new religion, a fun (pet-themed) dungeon, new off-hand combos, and more. Or so I’ve been told. I mostly only noticed the pets. Did you see the pets? There may be a few kinks and a few things I’d like to see changed, but I’ve been busy enjoying it all. Mostly pets. Oh we also got a new DLC full of Pictish delights, which turned out better than I … [Read more...] about The Survivalist: Conan Exiles’ Picts, pets, and pokey arrows

Conan Exiles plans to toughen up raiding
Responding to claims that raiding in Conan Exiles is way too easy as it is right now, Funcom said that it will soon address these issues by balancing sieges and village assaults. In a post on Reddit, a representative said that a patch is coming tomorrow to toughen up tier 1 and tier 2 buildings so that they won’t be so easy to take down. Other adjustments to improve the raiding scene including making steel (and as a result, steel weapons) more rare and stripping arrows of the ability to harm structures. “This is just the beginning of the early access balancing act, and we’re going to be keeping a close eye out on how you all adapt to these changes and other adjustments we make as new features are introduced,” the studio said.

Conan Exiles 2018: Is Conan Exiles Worth Playing At Launch Come May 8th?
Conan Exiles is Funcom’s take on an open world, survival Conan world where players write the stories and create the fun with the tools at their disposal. The game is finally exiting early access to launch globally on May 8th 2018, and much has changed. Since our review almost a year ago, the dev team has continued to iron out issues and improve gameplay based on early access feedback. Now that we’re a month away from launch, are the new changes worth checking out? Here’s what’s coming. A New Combat System The new combat system is very different and a huge improvement on the old one. The new system for Conan Exiles will have the brutal, tactical and savage combat which a Conan game deserves. The first thing you might notice is the new visual style. All weapons (swords, daggers, hammers, maces, spears, great swords etc) are getting their own attacks and animations. The attacks consist of a wide range of lunges, sweeps, jumps, cleaves, slashes and dashes. This … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles 2018: Is Conan Exiles Worth Playing At Launch Come May 8th?
