I regret buying this game because it has the problem that all survival games have: whoever spends the most time playing can run the whole server. It's not even about pvp skill, it's just about offline attacking every base you see so no one can get a foothold and a base with a design you saw on youtube.

The Conan theme is great and all, the gods and slaves are kind of cool but there isn't really enough to make it different or overcome the survival game issues. It's also really nice that the focus is more towards melee than ranged combat than games like Rust. Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix the universal balance issues, though.

It does strike me as funny that the original plan for the goon server was have a two day locked server head start to level up and build up so the goon superiority against pubbies could never be challenged. And then the admins' clan locked their discord channel so other goons couldn't chat with them, constantly raided the other goon clans base at 6 AM for a few days and then wondered why no one wanted to play with them.
Find A PVP server where destroying people's bases is against the rules. on our server we have 5 small groups all relatively equal with tons of trading and violence but everybody builds cool poo poo because nobody is knocking all your poo poo over just because it's there. You can knock down people's walls and loot their chests and crafting stations but destroying all of somebody's stuff to just strangle them in the crib isn't fun for anybody. Last night my 2 man clan broke into a rival clans base while they were all online, killed them, filled our pockets and left and everybody still has their giant citadel and had a good time.

come play with us goons on 178. we've gone full chinese living under mountains and out of bounds while raiding people every night.

Last night we had a huge haul of 1200 steel bars, 700 shaped wood, 600 harden brick, 2 lv 3 black smiths, lv 4 smelter, and 200 steel reinforcements. Also we brought back ton of random good stuff like ambrosia, twine, etc.

no.
Found out that mass suicides can get a little bad for the area if you don't destroy the bodies completely. My friend and I were harvesting ourselves for ambrosia and it became completely unplayable after a good sized pile of corpses was built up. People elsewhere on the server were okay but everyone in the area had to log out and wait for the corpses to despawn.

It has been a bit empty the last week or so I think. I'm crunching for exams so not playing much and while I like the game and see the potential my interest has tapered off a bit, just sort of waiting for more content and polish but I pop on every now and then still, dunno about the other guys.

There are less than 10 players active and I hope this rises in the future.

A lot of us have reduced their commitment a bit recently, while waiting for new content. My uni semester starts next week and my gaming time goes into the current ranked season of WoWS for the moment.

Server itself is up 24/7 with one daily reboot, usually runs great and I try to be on-time with the updates. It's also prepaid for the next quarter and if the game shapes up nicely then I will keep running this for quite some time.

To add to this, I don't know how wide-spread it was, but I imagine part of the reason they had the Discord channel locked was because of abuse. One time I was pulled into the channel TT (the server owner) was asking other BMW members where they were so he could teleport to them for a raid.

The Discord channels are locked based on server roles. The simple reason, like any survival game, was to delineate different groups which is why the conan groups had 5-6 roles added for different groups on the server. This was done pretty much as soon as different goon groups emerged. It's a farce to think that somehow there was only BMW in one base and all the goons in another. We had to add a bunch of channels and roles for different groups of goons on day one.

Besides that, to address your poor attempt at poo poo stirring, there is no command for an admin to teleport to another player in the game, and no rcon. Further, admin accounts have to be manually logged in separately when you are on the server and it sends a server wide notification every time a command is used. If you were being factual and fair you would know this because when I had to delete bases that were stopping NPC spawns at the request of players constantly, I had to have them draw me a general marker on a map and I had to walk there. The alleged workarounds by manually teleporting to XYZ coordinates don't work either, so yeah.

I mean don't take my word for it -- feel free to look up the command limitations yourself: ( http://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Admin_Commands ). But don't make yourself look like an rear end in a top hat by blatantly lying about something because you feel like bandwagoning.

PS: The original goon base in the 2 day headstart wasn't raided by BMW, it was raided by Orv, who is just a regular goon. One person. BMW didn't begin raiding at all until about a week in. Orv was really vocal and open about that to Duster and others so I don't know how it got confused that BMW did anything to anyone. :shrug:

No. Because the SDK was released after all this and the workshop still doesn't work for publishing and applying them. The only thing we developed by hand were the detailed procedures which allowed us and other people to run servers on their Linux boxes worldwide despite FunCom's attempt at control, because we're terrible people or whatever I guess.

You can also simply search on the BMW Discord and search for posts by Orv. The servers keep poo poo logs because FunCom's server support is absolutely terrible, as indicated by the terrible problems even with officials.

I would think it will be more than that per update (it'll be a long drat year otherwise) but doesn't sound like they're talking about any new systems or maps or anything big until after launch.

Some stuff they mentioned before was new thralls, new creatures, updated animations, new craftables (probably banners/rugs or something), lore, and traps.

They talked about 'balancing' crafting whatever that means, I'm hoping they want to keep refining it past that patch they just did adjusting the levels and prereqs.

Hopefully they address things like having to farm light hides for tar by boosting the tar output from heavy hides. Or the twine/plant fiber sink in tier 3.

Some reason to use the armor for the T4 armor Smiths or weapons other than the Ancient Kosep would be great too.

How is Measly admitting to everyone he spawned in resources not proof? I wasn't even the one that brought up that abuse was going on. Someone else did when a giant base appeared out of nowhere. I just backed them up when it was stated because I had seen it first-hand.

No, I wasn't. I wasn't even the one to bring it up initially. There were at least 5 people bringing it up in Discord when it first started. Then you started throwing a fit and claimed you checked the logs and no one spawned in anything even though Measly admitted it. And no...I'm not going back months in Discord to find your "proof" because I know you know I'm right but you have this need to keep up appearances. I couldn't give a poo poo. Don't know why you got involved in this at all, seeing as how you weren't even on when this raid in Conan happened. Why bring in Rust poo poo here?
