What is the deal with the server browser? It shows different servers every refresh without any filter being changed. I have yet to see it show Official Server #12 even when I have all the filters set for all and when I manually type it in (or don't). Is this happening to everyone or am I doing something stupid somehow?

Also, I have started characters on two different servers, both of which I favorited before I joined. When I try to search or browse by favorites nothing comes up. I don't want to have to keep starting characters over again because I never can find a server again.

the server browser in game is hosed. If you use steams server list that will work.

They just patched the IG server browser again, but the steam one is better because it queues you.

The server that everyone is playing on right now is official #193. We were on official server #12, but then a group of us split off since #12 was always full. Then everyone moved over because they wanted to be with the new cool kids.

Right now this feel like every other survival game I've played but with some nice QoL features.

When and if they ever smooth out the lag issues, I'll probably play this a lot... until Zelda comes out.

I found literally the best base location in the early game. Lol at the people claiming islands right at the starting zone.

I mined up like fifteen thousand rocks, built a goddamn base, then decided to level for a bit. Took advantage of server lag to kidder lots of crocodiles.

But, playing solo is awful. Can someone point me to a link explaining how to use steams server queue thing?

Disclaimer - haven't tried this since I'm at work, but Reddit seems to think it works.

1. Go to your steam page
2. Click view at the top of the page
3. Select servers
4. Select Conan Exiles as the game
5. Sort by alphabet etc and find your server (i.e Official "O")
6. Click join, refresh until it find the player list and set auto-join if full
7. Let Conan Exiles load up to the menu on its own. It will join after about 10 Seconds.

Make sure Conan Exiles is closed before you do these steps.

I can't wait for the day that online play is like offline. It's almost a completely different game. Mobs use special attacks and the AI actually functions.

Also not everyone starts in the exact same spot like some people think. It's either instanced or there are multiple similar but different spots to start at off of the map.

I like how the animal mutant things will attack your base when you are in it. I thought some player was attacking me, was surprised it wasn't and was just the ai.

I found some good iron deposits in the west part of the map, northwest of the river by a green magic barrier that I am afraid to touch.

Aside from lolgoonisland are there any good base spots? With Avatars being a thing, is a distributed base a better idea?

I'd also suggest adding the server you plan on using often to favorites within steam so you don't have to search every time you want to play again. Just right click your steam icon in the task bar, hit Servers and go to your favorites to see how many people are online and just join via that. Works way better and faster than the ingame server browser.

Are we going to be switching from 193 in the future seeing as how it's a blitz server with hardly anybody but goons on it? Maybe wait for the devs to raise the cap and then goonrush one of the normal official pvp servers?

Best spot I've found so far is the double oasis North of the city. There's iron and coal loving everywhere, humans to farm for thralls and of course plenty of plants and stone.
I haven't had this much fun with a clearly dogshit game in a long time. My friends and I have made the whole production chain that lets you get iron gear and it's pretty nuts--it at least doubles your yield on every resource node. Whats the fastest way to get xp apart from going into a spider cave and getting tons of corruption? We're still working on figuring out how pretty much everything works. Also haven't seen any giant monsters like in the trailer, although the NPCs nearby are clearly working on something.

I like how Hunger and theist work in this game. You eat a giant steak and guzzle water and you're good for a long drat time compared to other survival games where it's like "oh you haven't eaten 3000 calories in half an hour guess you're starving!"

Xp for kills only I think. So if you are in a group only one person will get the xp, which I think is a great decision.

Servers also have a ton of customization so check the server settings to see if it's set lower.

I got to level 5 in a couple hours just dicking around alone.
