Thinking about picking this up. Are the servers region split ? This game only makes sense for me if I can play it with lots of goons.

Bleh, Official Serer #33 where I practiced my pve baby steps is down since the patch. In case goons start over somewhere else I might join the pvp madness.

I'm seriously considering to rent my own server for this. But the data corruption bug that has killed off Official Server #33 (where I play) for over 21 hours, might as well ruin that too. And who is gonna fix it then ? Guess the host company would just recommend a wipe in such a case.

I guess if you could lead your fighter thralls around on the map, the solo part would be fun. Currently you definitely need more people to do stuff like dragons and certain boss monsters.

Also building a huge Fortress of Doom into a mountainside requires a lot of effort and is simply more fun with other players.

You can just change server settings so you level really fast and collect 10x resources and then it's pretty effortless.

I tried that in single player, but I miss the Ozymandias effect when there are no other players who gawk at my great works.

Their official server host finally croaked....

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand for servers and our needs for administrating them, our official partner has been unable to deliver the level of quality and service we require. Because of this we have mutually agreed to end the partnership. We are in the process of finding new partners with the ideal hardware we can move the existing game databases to. However, due to the high demand for Conan Exiles servers, many hosting companies are simply out of the hardware that we need and as such this process might take a few days.

I guess it's the same Funcom as ever.

They had games which looked good and usually had great atmosphere, like The Secret World and AoC, but Funcom always seemed very brittle on the technical side and that's a point which obviously has not changed.

Dont trust goons. They are a blight upon gaming culture. They dont respect safe spaces as is evident by the constant barrage of goon tea bag pictures all over the place.

I'm with this forum long enough to know that playing with goons will be an endless result of letdowns. On the positive side it means that nothing is expected from me in return.

Besides: do any of you have customer experience with Hosts Havoc, Survival Servers or Gameservers.com ??

According to Discord chat that custom Linux server died in a glorious fire because Funcom's code is a Windows thing. But they are supposedly still trying to get it to work....

My sperg-autism demands it's gaming fix, especially since I have a long weekend. I'm also an impatient, big babbie-man.....which is why I just ordered a 70 slot server with Survivalgaming.com, location is somewhere in Germany, hopefully not Nuremberg :godwinning: It's pre-paid for the next 3 months, so goons won't suddenly be homeless past February.

Although I work for an ISP I'm horribly incompetent, looks like the server is currently busy setting up, after that I will do a brief check if poo poo works and then post the info. Maybe let's do a 1 day headstart for goons and then register the server and post on Steam so we get more pubbies to play with sacrifice to our god.

Religious roleplay will be enforced: "Excuse Me Sir, Do You Have a Moment to Talk About Set the Savior ?".

I want to leave it at vanilla settings mostly, yes that means people must work for their food, since games are serious and important business. Maybe adjust the day night cycle a bit.

Rules are simple: don't be a goonfucker, don't do anything that might break the server (like certain crash bugs). If we build a goon city, that's great, but you're equally welcome to do your own thing and build a hut in bat-country to live like a social recluse. Something like a huge walled castle would be nice too, where everyone can build his own house and shop. It's certainly more appealing than the 6 beds in one room buildings I have seen so far. Goons need their personal space to watch anime in private.

No planned wipes for now, unless things break badly. If you can come up with a creative server name, I'm open for suggestions.

Well gently caress, shouldn't have taken the cheapest host, despite their good ratings.

Survivalservers has some weird issue where Conan servers get stuck on loading and never go online, several other users have this issue and their support queue is growing.

Something is borked for me. When I try to connect to our server, I instead land on some other server in Denmark.

I managed to get in only once, then died and promptly crashed. Restarted and got the invalid version error, despite server and client being updated and then crashed again.

Edit:

Just tried it per VPN in case there is some routing error and now I'm ending up on a Swedish server. Ofaloaf and Martou, pls accept my Steam friend requests, I want to try to join directly on you.

Looks like the server croaked by itself then. Verification and reboot process is running atm. Guess we didn't lose anything since our server is fresh and the database still ok.

Ok it's back up. Lagging like poo poo though, this patch :psyduck:

Still have that weird issue when connecting, please use Martouts workaround in the meantime.

If it crashes again, then please give me some time to get in touch with the admins at Survivalservers...plus it's also possible that the patch broke more stuff than it fixed.

Edit: Nevermind, it just crashed again...working on it...

Guess they are aware about the routing error. Taken from Steam forums:

nophex [developer]
Do you have this issue when attempting to connect from the in game server browser? We are looking into an issue now where if you join via the steam server browser it can cause you to connect to the wrong server.

P.S.:

Issue is confirmed by the devs, server is also back up for now. I'm off for a bit to watch millionaires chase a ball.
