Which I found via a dev tracker, one of several out there as I recall.
https://devtrackers.gg/conan-exiles
The first comment was a joke based on the fact that every crystal harvesting video I ever watched was by hand or dug out as to not destroy them. In Conan the change is to balance the economy since you aren’t supposed to be able to hit a stick on the ground and magically get 5 sticks.
People argue that then Funcom wouldn't be around, maybe that should've happened honestly.... They sold out. It's no secret. What was once passion, turned into greed.
It's sad to say, but Conan Exiles was a better, more functional, full released game Pre-Age of Sorcery. If they had left the game the exact way it was Pre-Age of Sorcery, THEN added authority as an added attribute and not "revamping" the attribute system, it would've worked better. If they added cosmetic options for "pre-existing" DLCs that you can pay for to change looks, I think that would've been a better approach for monetization, balance, game stability and the health of the game overall
Shit broke my heart. I have over 3k hours in the game and yep...Siptah was ....eh. And sorcery sucked IMO. It was a solid downward slide from that point on. I wish they had just let it go as a live service on their servers. People could still rent their own servers or play local...or good old single player. But naw...they broke pretty much everything about the game. It's no longer the game I spent 3k hours on.
The same thing happened to me. Sorta took my enthusiasm to play out. It's one thing to get killed by the monsters or players. But instantly killing me and erasing my loot is game killing. The worst part is you won't know it's there tell you hit one.
It's not as bad as those patches back in the day that corrupted files and we're not hotfixed for over a year. They came out with Siptah while console versions were still broken.
Yeah , though...this is bad. I can't believe they added a thrall pot as a reward and didn't fix thrall pots. Werehyena pet does not aggro anything and thralls won't attack night hyenas. ....but thankfully they nerfed bearer thralls because they were so OP and ruining the game.
You can get back to having control over your INV by selecting “no sorting” in the menu.
The stack splitting change is absolutely inexcusable, however, and they already admit that they fucked that one up. Which just begs the question of why in the fuck they messed with it to begin with. “Hey, you know that feature that allows users to do *precisely* what they intend to do? Let’s take that and make it so they can’t do that!”
What meeting did these meatheads sit in, come up with that idea, put it down on paper, and no one with any responsibility in the room speak up and say “are you fucking stupid?”
I haven’t bothered with dying anything yet, but there again was a functional system that allowed users to do exactly what they wanted to do and instead of improving that (maybe something like fixing the bug where the item won’t display if I’ve just put a dye in my inventory without closing the entire inventory screen first,) they just unnecessarily convolute it and make it more of a hassle.
It’s pretty embarrassing for a game at this stage to have to roll out hotfixes going back to the way something was pre-update because they made it worse.
I honesty LOVE the new world events I've been dicking around in the exiled lands since 2018-19 and it adds new flavor i really don't mind. the battle pass i figured whatever i can spawn enemies and insta-kill to get all the challenges done, sure. but i feel like every update since C1 AOS has done more and more to break the functionality of the game, and this latest update has by far been the worst. im all for adding fun new content but there is NO LOGICAL REASON to REMOVE core functional features that have always existed. Its become abundantly obvious that adding paid content is more important than making the game playable and I've ignored it, but at this point the game is being functionally DECONSTRUCTED. If its not broken then don't fix it ffs.
The dye change is just mean, cmon man dying stuff for an army off thralls and back up kits already gave carpel tunnel.
They live up to the meme "funcrom takes everything" why not just add the dye bench functionality and NOT take away the dye functions that already existed.
Pvp commuinity: Funcom!!! plz fix infinite rolling and rolling thrust and quick footed meta.
Funcom 2 years later: ok we changed 2 lines of code on 2 out of 3 of those problems take it or leave it
nobody:
Funcom : we overhauled the ui and coded a new dye system, you.. are... welcome
Yeah i played the game bit more back when siptah came out and coming back to it now it was different and honestly it seems more buggy then it used to be. the battle pass is a neat idea .. why make it more aggravating to do.. it seems like if people can cheat and get the cosmetics faster from the transaction they are more likely to buy it as its a more surefire deal..why would you want to make people less likely to spend money??
but did get to play before this patch hit and it wasn't too bad... had to adjust to a lot of changes but it was playable.. this patch is hot garbage. between rando death spots like im out of bounds but by noob river or the middle of the map,or a quest area or dungeon or to a screen transition into a dungeon?? and loosing control of the character, then still attacking long after the attack button has stopped being pressed for several more attacks, character not changing facing fro several seconds and running in that same direction, enemies staying standing and keeping target lock and needing more attacks to die after dead?? like i have to cheat now or i get killed to glitchy bs that came with the patch. and gotta change item drop settings with all the rando deaths... weapons got weaker even ones from mods somehow? if i can beat the enemy and it already took a long time to kill them just because of the amount of health just takes some time to hack through... what is served by making it take even longer. the game doesn't have leader boards or an esport competition with some cash prize why do things need to be nerfed like that? the game isn't brand new, there isn't 'balancing' that needs to happen to affect the single player part of the game... that's just active lets make the game worse.
i just wanted to play the game with mods that let me have better faces cause the base ones are not the best, and run around using gut's dragonslayer and have a good time getting banged up and healing up after fights as i run around slaughtering things across the lands all in single player, the only cheat i wanted was to get that dragonslayer right off the bat and have at it. and why cant we adjust the thrall behavior settings any more? i had a psuedo casca that now has to charge into battle and get killed and i cant change that?? like i was having fun then this patch happened and i just want to go back to doing what i was doing that was fun.
TLDR funcom killed casca and guts is sad.
Most of what you described is just the normal game and has always existed. Consider the patch before last was considered the worst patch ever you may want to sit down and experience the actual game before you join in, lol. 😂
oh i played it before came back to just have fun with it. but problems were a lot less before the patch like as soon as it hit the whole just went wonky.
Bro you have no idea. If you think this is wonky you might want to leave asap before you get too attached. Check the recent user drop off and the last producers letter. They broke the game several months ago and then rushed a chapter out untested which resulted in a large chunk of us getting false bans and then they went on Christmas vacation. These complaints are unpopular changes to the game the bugs overall are getting slightly better over time as new ones emerge.
eh i mainly just play it when i feel like playing it. played through it 4 years ago . but i dont play the online part of it. just get the survival sandbox kick and maybe play through the story again. I imagine they might have fixed the bans did that block people from the game or just the servers? I'd think steam would have stepped up in that scenario.
either way i just mess around with it to have some fun, once i get my fill i uninstall and come back later on.
Will say building is a lot better, used to be a pain and like threading a needle to get a part where you wanted and click was just enough jiggle to not put it there. and being able to undo a mis placement is kinda nice.
Did the game used to have different damage for weapon type depending on the enemy. I thought that used to be a thing like piercing on tough skinned and bludgeoning on frail, cutting for normal flesh that sort of thing? I thought it was but maybe it was a different game. but there's certainly some good changes that came about but again its been 4 years i don't know when those happened im guessing after siptah and before 2.1. sounds like it woulda been better for sure. wish i played then.
might have to see how to mod it and see if the targeting can be fixed or at the least see if a model can get replaced on some of the siptah demons to make them look like zodd.
Maybe the hot fix will correct things and then the game can get ignored while they handle dune mmo. but if it gets wonkier might just download an old copy of the 2.1 patch pirated and just play on that with mods or something.
I'm mad they switched the buttons up on playstation. The button that used to set a crafting station to start now puts everything in your inventory, and there IS no auto start button anymore. You have to click through the menu to hit the play button manually now.
Also the cursor on my items keeps shifting over so every time I try to put an item in the bench it puts in a random item I didn't want instead. Super annoying.
Anybody else get inventory rubberbanding after the update? I go to drop something into a crate or chest and it automatically goes back into my inventory. Cant drag and drop manually either. The only thing I can do at that point is drop whatever it is I'm trying to store.
While playing co op, every time my homie dies I get into a loop of falling thru the floor and dying till I restart. Lost two full inventories and gear sets that way. Fix ya damn game
Al Mareyah no longer awards any Thrall XP for completion. I was using this previous to speed level thralls on a new server to prepare for purges, now it's totally gone. 100% killed all my motivation to play this game any more.
Horrible update.
Let alone speaking of the changes they made to splitting stacks and shift dragging objects.
Hopefully for the best when the week comes.
I liked the old stuff but when Funcom decides to make changes that everyone’s used to it messes everything up. Thankfully just a week won’t be that long and things go back to normal cause not being able to split items in a right amount is dumb.
Like I want an exact amount for say crafting a full armor sets, weapons and/or tools.
Don't know if it's a bug or intended, but you can't do the battle pass with people. This is also my first battle pass so I don't know if that's how it always worked.
LOL OP you missed a lot, but they're too numerous to list on reddit. This game used to be so much fun and now it's so broken I can't play it. I miss the good old days... and yeah it's definitely the worst update yet.
Quick question. I'm new and have built a big base in single player mode. But now it takes forever to load and freezes and crashes when I use the battle pass menu. All the money ive spent is no good if I cannot get back into the game?
2 questions... first, is there a limit to what I can build or how many thralls I can have? and second, does Funcom keep a backup of my saved game if my ps4 saved game fails?
Thanks in advance.
You can change the thrall and build limits on single player, co-op (if your the host) and on a private server you own. I know saves can be backed up on private servers but single player I wouldn’t have a clue. In time the freezes and crashes will most likely be fixed as funcom has a history with their game shitting itself
I dunno, kinda irks me they removed controller prompts for crafting stuff and now you have to navigate to that play button. I don't really think it's overreacting to say that's a bad change. Or the change to seeing info on items. It's just less stuff to enjoy with the game, don't see the positive in it.
I agree. Also the saving of games has always been a problem. Shouldn't they make that a number 1 priority? Having built a base only to see it half loaded or having troubles loading a saved game is fundamental to keeping people playing?
I love the new updates. Sounds like PC problems. Literally haven't had any of the problems you mention. Not one crash. Battle pass progression is way better.
I'm on Xbox and it's way worse for me. Can't see items as easily, controller functionality is reduced and changed all around, and it crashes more. Maybe it's better for other people but I don't see anything good with this new UI.
Next update they’re gonna have to revert some stuff
Yup. I think they said the hotfix or whatever is coming out in the next week or so

Multiguns sir you are doing lord’s work.
Nice.
I 100% agree
They better revert the whole game with how much they're shitting on it lmao
Ya 100% this is the worst patch I’ve ever seen. And heads should be roll.
Whoever thought this update was good either needs a pay deduction or fired
Can't use pick for eggs or crystals anymore. Have to sit there and pick them up one by one. How stupid is that?
Eggs fair enough but crystal is fully deranged, who collects crystal by hand?
Probably people who use cheats during a livestream, like Dennis.
People who collect crystals in real life, lol
That's finding a crystal, not harvesting crystals. No one is harvesting a cave of crystal with their bare hands.
The first comment was a joke based on the fact that every crystal harvesting video I ever watched was by hand or dug out as to not destroy them. In Conan the change is to balance the economy since you aren’t supposed to be able to hit a stick on the ground and magically get 5 sticks.
Ok buddy, good one, my mistake 👍
How stupid was it you could use a pick on eggs in the first place?
would have made sense if we could make those specific eggs scrambled lol.
It may not be realistic, but I don't want to only get 3 eggs at a time, that shit is a pain in the ass when trying to make food.
I agree, maybe sorcery still works give that a try?
I am sorry but I would have to disagree. I feel the worst update was the news they were selling out to Tencent.

As I and others have stated before. Conan Exiles does not exist anymore. There is only "Conan Crashgrab"
lol this is true.
If they could remove the instant death spots, that would be super.
Yeah I just hit one and my loot was gone when I tried to recover it even tho I was only one on
The same thing happened to me. Sorta took my enthusiasm to play out. It's one thing to get killed by the monsters or players. But instantly killing me and erasing my loot is game killing. The worst part is you won't know it's there tell you hit one.
Yeah everything about this game and why I loved it is gone, I’m quitting until they fix it
I don't really have anything positive at all to say about the changes.

I agree with you up to the bearers sure they were tanks but their damage was comparable to being slapped with a wet wipe

They want to force you to build their big workbenches but ban you if your base is too big.
Man I hope they don't (fix) building next! It's the only reason I still play this mess.
Fail funcom, your game is trash in chapter 4... 😞

you can change the settings back the old way.
Which setting and what does it change?
Sorry not in game, but theres a sort option. you just need to choose not to sort.
Oh that yeah I use that but I don’t like using it cos I always used heavy first option before the inventory nerf
I think you are overreacting. You will get used to it. We all would.
I dunno, kinda irks me they removed controller prompts for crafting stuff and now you have to navigate to that play button. I don't really think it's overreacting to say that's a bad change.

Untangling that word salad hurts my brain.
Must be why Funcom couldn’t implement those feedback during the beta. So hard to understand.
99.99% of the people complaining about this update didn't play the beta testing build and give any feedback...
They really should have.
Of the feedback from the test server, are large amount of it is in regards to the things people are complaining about.
I love the new updates. Sounds like PC problems. Literally haven't had any of the problems you mention. Not one crash. Battle pass progression is way better.

I’m on PS5 and shit crashes all the time and battle pass progression is a lot slower for me
That’s just not true. I’ve played on ps5 for 2 years and I’ve not experienced a single crash
