We're bringing back PvE Conflict servers!

Conan Exiles - Andy B - Community Manager

Hello everyone!

It’s been a very hectic but also very exciting few days for us here at Funcom and I’m sure for all of you playing as well! It’s amazing seeing so many people joining us after launch, but all this interest has also created some challenges we’ve had to work through.

First, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us during our journey from Early Access to launch. Your support, your interest and your excitement for Conan Exiles is greatly appreciated by everyone on the team.

During the first day of launch, the sheer amount of demand for official servers compared to demand for private servers exceeded our expectations and we reacted as fast as we could to find solutions. Since then we have almost doubled the total number of servers and we are working with our hosting partner to bring up even more servers as fast as possible.

Unfortunately, it’s been impossible for us to bring up new servers fast enough to meet the overwhelming demand, and that led us to the decision to revert the less populated PvE Conflict servers (which are PvE with PvP window and non-destructible buildings) into full PvP servers where the demand was significantly higher. We knew it wasn’t an optimal solution, but it felt like the right decision at that moment to meet the demand for more PvP servers. We were in a situation where we were unable to add new, fresh servers fast enough, and we had to make a tough decision.

Since we made this change we have received a massive amount of feedback from players. Your passionate reaction made it very clear that there is significant interest in servers with the PvE Conflict ruleset and we have been looking for solutions to bring them back.

In addition to introducing more PvE and PvP servers (which are still in highest demand), we will be also be bringing up new and fresh PvE Conflict servers. We decided to set up new ones to avoid disrupting the existing servers again. We will start with bringing these up in Europe, East and West Coast US, and Russia, and you can expect them to be live before this weekend.

We will also be adding PvE Conflict severs in other territories based on demand and as soon as we are able to.

Finally, we just want to say that we truly appreciate all the feedback we have received since yesterday. Our community team has been working very hard going through all your comments and passing them on to the rest of the team. Thank you for your patience and thank you for voicing your concerns and giving us the opportunity to set things right.

- The Funcom Team

Original post follows

Dear exiles!

We're so incredibly excited to see so many people play the game, both new and returning players. We're coming up on 20,000 concurrent players on PC alone, which is absolutely awesome!

Our official servers are getting full very quickly, so we're in the process of rolling out additional servers in regions where we see a need for it.

We will update this announcement post when we have more information!

We're live! Conan Exiles is now launched!

Conan Exiles - Jens Erik (Community Manager)

Dear Exiles,

It is finally time to step down from the cross. After 15 months in Early Access Conan Exiles has been released on PC, Xbox and PS4. It's been quite the journey for us here at Funcom, with both highs and lows, but we're also incredibly proud of our final product.

With this launch day patch the world of Conan Exiles expands greatly with the addition of the new Swamp and volcano biomes. In the Swamp you can find the Pagoda of Boundless Lusts, where the priests and preistesses of Derketo worship their goddesses dual nature. Travel to the Forgotten City of Xel-Ha and discover the ruins of an ancient Lemurian City. Maybe you'll even meet the Witch Queen?

Braving the craggy peaks of the volcano will net you Obsidian, one of the strongest metals there is, but be careful, as the mysterious Cult of Skelos might not take too kindly to outsiders. Those who brave the depths of the volcano will be rewarded handsomly.

For more information on what you can expect to see at launch, check out this blog post.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxJFdnEHGX4

We want to give a huge thank you to the Conan Exiles community for their continued support in this Early Access adventure. You have kept us on our toes, taken us to task when need be, and given us feedback, suggestions and bug reports by the hundreds! This project would not have been such an amazing journey with your help!

However, the work doesn't stop just because we're out of Early Access. We will continue supporting Conan Exiles after full release.

And now, a word from Joel, our creative director:

Dear Exiles,

On the 25th of January, 2017 we released the CGI trailer for Conan Exiles. In it, Conan himself poses the question – "What will you become?"

It was an obvious call to action for you, the players, but it was also a question hanging over the development team. Here, at the start of our Early Access journey, what was our game going to become?

The day has finally arrived when the answer to that question will be revealed. Over the past year, we've worked hard to get Conan Exiles ready for launch and we're proud of what we have achieved.

And when I say, we, I'm not talking about the development team. I am talking about you, Exiles.

Those of you who suffered through the bugs and issues of Early Access and Game Preview, those of you who constantly gave us feedback and reviews, those of you who stood with us through thick and thin and really gave Conan Exiles the opportunity to grow, to adjust and to become the game that it is today.

To the modders, the streamers, the wiki editors, the youtubers, the exploit hunters and above all, the players – it has been a humbling experience to work with you all. The entire Conan Exiles development team says thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Without your passion and fire, Conan Exiles would have emerged from the forge a very different and undoubtedly inferior game.

We've learned together, grown together and hopefully, we'll go on to conquer the world together. And as we pass this milestone in development, the launch of Conan Exiles on PC, Xbox One and PS4, it is time for us to leave the cross behind. To tear the nails from our hands and step forth on the journey that awaits. To see what we have become.

Because, after all, this is only the beginning.

The Exiled Lands await.

Joel Bylos

Creative Director

We wish you well out there in the Exiled Lands! In the words of the man himself: Live, love! Burn with life! Slay, and survive!

Your cross awaits, Exiles

Launch Day Patch: Derketo, Volcano and Swamp, oh my!

Conan Exiles - Nicole V(Community Manager)

Conan Exiles has finally launched! We started early access with a world map of just 15 squared kilometers. Now at full launch we’ve expanded to a full 40! This includes the vast dry desert, lush swamp to the east, the neutral city of Sepermeru and the gaseous Salt Lake to the west, and the molten volcano and frozen, snowy lands to the north. Whether you’re a returning player or a new one, you’re going to have a lot to discover in the new biomes. This includes deep and dark dungeons with treasures, forgotten ruins, monstrous creatures, and more we don’t want to spoil.

Important: Remember to remove mods if you're unable to play/open the game!

Derketo

Now that launch day is here an entirely new religion will be made available to players. Derketo is the goddess of fertility and death, whose followers engage in sexualized and sometimes lethal rituals. Her dual nature makes her avatar a sight to behold: one half appearing as a beautiful woman, her body in the prime of life, while the other half is a rotting corpse and degenerated corpse.

Followers of Derketo will be able to craft a special knife, Derketo’s Kiss, that extracts unfulfilled desires from fallen enemies. These Slivers of the Unfulfilled can be used to turn deadly poisons into sweet honey, or when combined with insects, made into potions that will heal wounds and enhance the endurance of whoever drinks it. As their religious devotion grows, followers of Derketo can learn how to transmute vines into bread or oil into blood, before finally learning how to make the powerful Lusttaker, a sword touched by Derketo herself.

Volcano

Towering over the Frozen North lies the mighty volcano, with molten fury pouring across jet-black slopes. Those who dare challenge the crag can harness the power of Obsidian and discover a mysterious cult worshiping an unknown, ancient power. Within the volcano itself, explore the ominous light emanating from the Well of Skelos - those who brave its depths will be rewarded handsomely. Just beware the searing hot temperatures - who knows what ancient secrets lurk within! The volcano and its encounters are balanced for the most powerful of warriors to explore.

Swamp(o)

Follow the big river east and you will find the swamp. This huge new area offers deep jungles, wet marshes and a sunny coastline filled with pirates. You can build well-protected castles or even entire cities up in the massive trees of the swamp.

There are many new monsters to fight in the swamp and lots of places to explore, from the Pagoda of Boundless Lusts to Jamilia’s Liberty, a massive beached ship which the Black Hand pirates have made their home. There is also the Forgotten City of Xel-ha, the ruins of an ancient Lemurian city being devoured by the encroaching jungle and the Palace of the Witch Queen dungeon. The swamp has been made for characters between level 20 and 40.

Patch Notes

TL;DR

Player thralls now follow same rules as buildings for taking damage from players. Both PvE and PvE-Conflict servers will have invincible thralls.
Thralls should no longer fall under the ground while being dragged in singleplayer/co-op
Regeneration from healing potions now breaks on taking damage
Bandage healing now breaks on movement
Players now do 1% of their melee damage to buildings, this is controlled with PlayerBuildingDamageMultiplier

The Purge

Placeables should take same amount of damage as building pieces from players and NPCs
PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier server setting now uses per purge difficulty rather than server max purge value to calculate damage modifers.
Previously a difficulty 1 purge could use the damage modifier for a purge difficulty 5 (20x instead of 5x) if max purge level was set to 5 on the server.
Lower difficulty purges now deal less damage to buildings.
The server setting PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier can now be modified by server admins
New default values for “PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier = (5.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0)” where the 1st number and 6th number correspond to a difficulty 1 and 6 purge, respectively
Purge NPC damage modifier now based on strength of purge instead of purge max difficulty setting
Purge NPCs now do correct amount of damage to placeables (previously too low)

Healing Rebalance

Reduced the effect of the Receptive perk (Vitality 40) from +100% healing to +25% healing
Healing potions now take 10s to heal, increased from 5s. Total healing remains the same
Regeneration from healing potions now breaks on taking damage
Bandage healing does not break on damage and removes bleeds and cripples at the end of the effect
Bandage healing now breaks on movement
Bleeds now stack up to 20 times and lasts for 20s. Up from 10 stacks and 10 seconds. Bleed damage scaling per stack reduced
Removed drop from Grey Lotus Potion that overrode healing
Removed over-the-top healing values from the Grey Lotus Potion that overrode healing

General Balance and QoL Adjustments

Rebalanced the Mitra spear and Acheronian sickle
Slightly increased blocked rebound time for 2h spear heavy attacks
Slightly reduced blocker confirm time for 2h spear heavy attacks
Cripple effects for melee weapons have been reduced in efficiency
Lowered the damage of the sickles
Fixed issue where poison stacks could increase as it was ticking (caused by the weapon being listed as the “damage causer”, which could still be poisoned)
Also fixes issue where poison was affected by armor penetration of the weapon that caused it
Fixed a problem with target lock which would sometimes move the camera behind the player character, making it difficult to see the target
Max elevation at which you can place buildings is now 600 meters across the map. This fixes some building exploits in the volcano area (and should not impact players unless they are reenacting “Jack and the Beanstalk” story)
Added support for force-checking .pak files after a major game update
Player thralls now follow same rules as buildings for taking damage from players. Both PvE and PvE-Conflict servers will have invincible thralls.
Fixed balance issues related to stacking of reaper and scorpion poison
Reduced the max amount of death map markers to 3, to match the amount of max corpses you can have active at the same time
New Funcom logo video at startup
Players now do correct amount of damage to placeables (previously too high)

Bugfixing

Fixed a player collision problem when logging into a server with the setting active to leave offline characters in the world
Removed unarmed attacks from human npcs and gave them stone daggers instead to avoid players being able to obtain and equip unarmed attacks which bug out their characters
Fixed an issue with Steam achievement unlocking
Fixed a text cut-off issue with “take all” button
Thralls should no longer fall under the ground while being dragged in singleplayer/co-op
Thralls no longer damage their own base
Time restricted PvP building damage was preventing players from damaging each other
Fixed player owned Thralls could be killed outside of time-restricted PvP window
Dragging captured thralls should no longer cause them to fall through the ground.
Fixed a problem with not being able to use unarmed attacks or kicks, along with unarmed fist items showing up in inventories.
Fixed some water and sand rendering artifacts
Fixed a problem with DB backups resulting in too few backups being stored
Fixed an issue that would make players invisible during attacks or rolls when they were on buildings
Vertical and diagonal support building pieces should now work correctly (Previous fix was missing a data change)
Fixing another issue where pillars and other socketless connection building pieces could fail to give proper stability. Please report any issues you still encounter with missing building pieces.
New fix for “no owner” displayed on building and placeables.
Exploit fix: Fixed a visual and stats issue when selecting multiple weapons at the same time
Jaguars should no longer defy gravity
NPCs should now respawn after their former selves have been converted into a thrall
Admin teleport while a player is in character creation should no longer block character creation from finishing
Extra support to vertical and diagonal support building pieces has been reduced.

Crash Fixes and Optimizations

On singleplayer if you chain-crash 5 times while loading into the game then on 6th try you will be teleported to the desert
Fixed a crash related to making an item in a story-related altar
Fixed a server crash related to loading of clan logs
Fixed a crash related to double-clicking items in slots
Fix to make javelins have DM’s and not icons wrongly assigned, thus crashing the server
Fixed a crash related to removing items from slots
Fixed a crash related to RCON
Fixed a crash related to accessing the purge on game shutdown
Fixed a crash related to modified damage from players and NPCs
Fixed a crash in the purge system for new players who don’t do anything to register any purge events
Fixed a server crash related to display racks.
Added a potential fix from Epic for “device lost” crashes

Known Issues

Blunted javelin does too much concussion damage. This will be fixed in the next patch
Elixir effects will be cancelled if you use a healing potion. This will be fixed in the next patch
Clothing & hair physics may sometimes stop working on the player character
If you are experiencing a “D3D device error” when launching the game then please try to clock down your gfx card by 100 or 200 MHz, especially if you have a factory overclocked gfx card.
Emote books to learn "spit" and "fistpunch" are underground.
