Conan exiles update

Nobody tell MJ about this Conan Exiles update because we’ll never see her again – she’ll just be logged in there playing with all the cuddly critters for eternity. Yes, Funcom took the wraps off its upcoming pet system for Conan Exiles this week. “To begin rearing an animal, you will need to obtain a baby or an egg,” Funcom explains. “These can be found in the world, and on certain (rare) vendors. To pick up a baby animal in the world, simply press the interaction button when you have it targeted. Eggs will hatch after a certain amount of time and produce live offspring, which will sit in your inventory. Baby animals will decay over time, so it’s best to convert them to ‘proper pets’ in the animal pens unless you want to be a total monster and kill baby animals. You’re not a monster, are you?” Before we get too far into “proper pets,” know that the list of tameables includes everything from crocs to … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles releases Jewel of the West pack, teases upcoming pet patch

Support Massively OP on PatreonWere you too busy gaming this week to pay attention to MMO news? Get caught up every Sunday evening with Massively Overpowered’s Week in Review! Gotta love those weeks when there are so many huge stories I can’t decide what to feature here and just feature them all! Conan Exiles launched this week, with lots of praise – except for Funcom’s disastrous handling of PvE-conflict servers. Bless Online shocked its community by springing optional subscriptions just a few weeks ahead of launch and not exactly dazzling press previewers. Wild West Online blundered onward into its ill-advised formal launch from early access, in spite of criticism over its incomplete state (and lack of female toons). And just to cap it all off, the Daybreak/Columbus Nova/Renova mess took a bizarre turn into the tawdriest corners of political intrigue. What a week! I need a drink. Read on for the very best of this week’s MMO news and opinions. THIS … [Read more...] about MMO Week in Review: Bless, Daybreak, Conan Exiles, and Wild West Online (Mar 13, 2018)

If the survival genre is any indication, Early Access is a nigh indestructable beast! Time and time again we’ve seen where so many have failed to defeat this end boss. But that all changed when one mighty barbarian came along and did just that. Conan Exiles strangled the last breath out of the Early Access beast with its bare hands and cast it aside, then strode straight into the waiting arms of launch this week. Now there is lots to say about this launch, and a good chunk of it is pretty glowing. However, no launch is without some troubles. And sadly, there is also a despicable element as well. Here’s my look at the good, the bad, and the barbaric of the first couple of days of Conan Exiles’ launch. The good What’s so good about the launch? For one, it actually did! Talk about a rarity in this genre. While so many other titles are languishing in three, four, even five plus years of early access, Conan Exiles broke free from that non-launch’s deadly grasp … [Read more...] about The Survivalist: The good, the bad, and the barbaric of Conan Exiles’ launch

Funcom’s survivalbox Conan Exiles has officially shed early access and entered final launch as of today – that’s on PC, PS4, and Xbox One – having sold a reported one million copies in the lead up to release. You may have thought that last month’s patch – with the combat revamp and fast travel – was the big show, but you’d be wrong. In fact, there’s a huge download for the day-one patch (and patch notes) waiting for you no matter your platform. As our hands-on already previewed, players can expect the massive map update (yep, with the volcano and swamp biomes) and new Derketo religion, plus tweaks for the Purge, the healing rebalance, and too many bug fixes to count. Here’s abbreviated look at our best coverage to date: Conan Exiles is being brought to Asian territories (to the tune of ‘Beauty and the Beast’) Conan Exiles posts brand-new preview video with two weeks to go before launch Conan Exiles just … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles has officially launched with 1M copies sold to date and a huge day-one patch

With less than a week to go before launch, the Conan Exiles team is putting out one last newsletter with the plan for the rollout. “At launch we’ll be rolling out a Day 1 patch to add more bug and crash fixes, content updates and optimizations to client and server performance,” Funcom says. “And, of course, opening the Swamp and the Volcano up to players. The version of the game you’re currently playing on either Early Access and Game Preview is not the final version of the game! There’s more coming.” “We launch the game at 13:00 CEST (1pm) / 7am EDT / 4am PDT on May 8th. We’ll take down our official servers at 18:00 CEST (6pm) / 12pm EDT / 9am PDT on May 7th to wipe their databases, patch them to the live build, and restructure them as needed. We are wiping the databases to let everyone start off on an equal footing and to clear out any old data that might be causing compatibility issues. There will be 225 official servers at … [Read more...] about Conan Exiles outlines its day-one patch plans as players grumble over preorder bonuses
