Hello Exiles!

I wanted to catch everyone up on what the team has been working on since the Isle of Siptah Early Access launch and give a preview of what is coming to Conan Exiles in early 2021.

First thing first, let’s chat Isle of Siptah. We released in Early Access on September 15th, and since then we have been releasing small updates to fix bugs, adjust balance, and address some of the feedback we have received. We have also been reading the reviews players have posted on Steam, our forums, and social media.

When we released Isle of Siptah we knew that we were making some risky decisions and tweaking some of the core aspects of Conan Exiles that people have come to love and embrace over the past 4 years. Some of the features with Isle of Siptah have been well–received, and some of them have not. Below you will see two charts that attempt to categorize the most common comments we have seen on reviews:

Conan Exiles is a sandbox game where the players can decide how they want to play. We also have different server types which allow very different communities to play and experience the game in the way they like the most. On top of this we allow mods which can take the game in amazing new directions that we never expected. The result is that we end up having a lot of different core user types that expect and want different things. We expect any change to potentially upset some users in the various groups, but it is obvious that we have missed the mark with too many of our customers with Isle of Siptah. This is something we plan to address.

One of the main purposes of having an Early Access period is precisely so we can receive feedback from the community and tweak and improve our game as we move towards full launch.

Some of the negative feedback we received during Early Access was that the Isle of Siptah seemed emptier than the Exiled Lands (lacking NPC camps for example), that there were too few good places to build, that the storm was too dominating, that the map itself seemed a bit too small, that there was not enough PvE content, that you couldn’t transfer characters between maps and that it was too cumbersome to capture thralls.

Going forward we will improve the Isle of Siptah expansion significantly in all these aspects by:

• Introducing many new NPC camps around the map
  
• Populate the camps with humans who can be captured as thralls
  
• Expand the island map to the south with new content and desirable building locations
  
• Tone down the intensity of the storm and make it possible to build within the storm area
  
• Break the links between the vaults, the storm, and the surge
  
• Introduce purges with enemies from the island
  
• Introduce new activities and new PvE mechanics
  
• Make new and unique placeables for the Isle of Siptah
  
• Introduce a new religion and new avatar
  
• Open a chamber in the Tower of Siptah, with great rewards to be found inside
  
• Allow character transfers between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah

NPC camps, full of life and activity, greatly increase the richness of the world of Conan Exiles. We will introduce many such camps to the Isle of Siptah. These camps will have a host of different human NPCs which can be captured as thralls just like in the Exiled Lands.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25298994/1f3e7b316c94f081f3bc8c4bdce2c640c5afba9b.jpg
A new camp is being built with exclusive on-land diving board facilities.

The camps will vary in size and come from three different factions. Stygian mercenaries have settled on the Isle of Siptah. They are eager to restore the colony their ancestors left behind on the island and view it of great strategic importance as a stop off for traders between Argos, Stygia and the Black Kingdoms.

Black Corsair pirates have also landed here. Their nefarious purposes are shrouded in mystery, and they do not seem particularly fond of strangers. If you venture too close to their newly formed camps, you will see many bodies impaled on spikes, serving as a warning to trespassers.

Near the black tower in the middle of the island, a new and especially large camp has formed. Can those who dwell there be survivors of the devilish sorcery of the surges? The terrifying experience of being taken from their homes and dragged though the outer dark to end up on the Isle of Siptah must surely have driven them mad, as they now work side-by-side with the horrific creatures of the storm.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25298994/5431b7baf630fb0930c9f89b418ca8f4eb7132d8.jpg
A new camp is taking shape near the Tower of Siptah

The Isle of Siptah expansion offered a new game loop consisting of three components: the vaults, the storm, and the surge. The intent was for you to complete vaults to gain sigils and eldarium, use the sigils to kill monsters in the storm to harvest their essence, then finally use the eldarium and essences to summon a surge for a chance to capture thralls.

We realize that many people find this process too cumbersome and we are responding to your feedback by breaking the features’ dependence on each other.

Vaults will all be rebalanced to be level 60 dungeons, each with their own unique rewards. Vaults will still be the source of eldarium on the isle, and eldarium will still be used to delve and craft new recipes.

The storm will become less pervasive, allowing you to build within its area of effect without drawing the attention of the creatures of the storm. You may now hunt these horrors of the outer void for new and unique rewards, and they won’t be the only source of the essences needed to power the surge.

The surge will largely remain the same as it is now, but the rewards will be changed. Completing a surge may reward you with a Fragment of Power. These fragments can be used inside a chamber in the Tower of Siptah for new and great rewards! The surge will no longer be the only source of thralls on the island with the introduction of the many NPC camps.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25298994/77584507b94bf5815cd41a408653fb17aead3bbb.jpg
Many vaults are being rebalanced and will offer unique rewards.

We are expanding the size of the Isle of Siptah to the south, and with these new lands the overland map size of the island will be over 90% that of the Exiled Lands. This area will be divided into three different biomes, with the Ashlands, the Floodlands, and the Savannah.

There will be many desirable base building locations in these lands plus new NPC cities from two new races. Several mysterious black pools can be found in one of these cities, and they will be linked to an all new PvE mechanic allowing you to test your mettle in brutal fights against monstrous opponents. We are also planning several new activities which encourage exploration of the Isle of Siptah and the opportunity to free human NPCs from camps, making them your followers.

A new religion with its own unique weapons, tool, priest outfit, avatar and altars is coming. Its avatar is a horrific monster like no other, sure to give those with a faint heart or a certain phobia nightmares.

In addition, purges (like those you can find in the Exiled Lands, where large groups of enemies attack your base) are coming to the Isle of Siptah. The area you build in will determine the types of purges you can get, some of which come from the hideous creatures from the vaults, the storm monsters, or humans from the new NPC camps. A new mechanic will be introduced to these purges, allowing you to use resources to either prevent or provoke a purge.

And finally, we know that many of you have been asking for a way to transfer your characters between the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah, and we are happy to say that we are working on letting you do so. A character transfer system will be introduced during Isle of Siptah Early Access to allow you to use your favorite character on the map you choose to play on.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and for all their Early Access feedback, helping us improve the Isle of Siptah expansion. We wish everyone who celebrate happy holidays and a happy new year!

2020 was a tough year for even the strongest barbarian. It was a long year riddled with sandstorms filled with pestilence, where the only escape was staying indoors with a sandstorm mask to wait it out. But as with all sandstorms, they eventually come to an end.

Hold strong and pray to Crom as 2021 brings new challenges to our land!
We wish all of you a safe and happy Holiday!

Side note, Conan is preparing a reindeer stew for a feast so do stop by for a serving.

We're committed to delivering the best of Hyborian brutality for our adventurers, PvPers, builders, modders, and RPers for a long time to come. Let's continue to survive, build, and dominate together into 2021!

By Crom,

Greetings Exiles,

After a few months of testing, both internally and on Testlive, we concluded that our anti-undermesh feature is ready to be enabled in official servers.

Once we release patch 2.1.2, we will enable the anti-undermesh feature on all PC PVP Official servers that are running the Exiled Lands map. Other game modes (PVE and PVE-Conflict) in official servers will, for now, not have this feature enabled.

While we have gathered and processed a great amount of data in the Exiled Lands, we feel this feature isn’t ready for the Isle of Siptah map yet as there are still a lot of unresolved false positives. We will continue to work on this feature for the Isle of Siptah map and it will be enabled once we feel it’s safe and ready.

Greetings Exiles!

Greetings, Exiles!

We are releasing our first major update since the release of Isle of Siptah, focusing on bringing a major overhaul to many of the economy and crafting systems of the game, as well as bringing an oft-requested feature: Character re-customization!

With Update 2.1 we are bringing a massive overhaul to the crafting systems to the game. Previously, “crafting power” was heavily reliant on having specific Tier 4 Crafting Thralls, which would not only make it frustrating in case you didn’t find the specific thrall you needed, but also made other, lesser artisans less relevant. With the Economy Update, we’re aiming to shift most of that power into the workbenches themselves, giving more prowess and choice to you during crafting by making those bonuses be available from the workbenches themselves without the requirement of a specific thrall.



With that in mind, we also took a look at the crafting progression in game, which up until now was too linear, with very general choices that lead to an uninteresting advancement through the tech tree and some recipe bloat in some stations. To that effect, we are adding new specialized crafting stations with an end-game split in their focus giving them more vertical upgrades in terms of crafting power, but also horizontal progression at the end-game where you can choose what stations to use based on the specific bonuses they give.

That doesn’t mean that crafting thralls will have no use in the game anymore! First of all, they will now provide multipliers to item stats they craft based on their tier. This will be the way to have improved gear since we’re doing away with exceptional and flawless item qualities, instead relying on these artisan bonuses. Not only that, but we’re also implementing a new Tier 4 Crafting thrall specialization system, where some T4 artisans will have a specific specialization that will improve certain stats when crafting. To top these changes, we have also re-worked and tweaked Surges and Wild Surges to have better spawn rates based on community feedback.

We have also set sights on revamping the fishing system of the game and the recipes that depended on it. We are removing the passive fish generation of fish and shellfish traps and we’re also changing the recipe of stone consolidant, which will now require resin instead of ichor.



This patch is not only focusing on crafting and economy. We are also adding to the game something you have been asking us to implement ever since our earliest days: you can now re-customize your character! Accessed through the new vanity mirror, you can now change your character’s hair-styles, facial and body features from the comfort of your base!

To top it all off, we are also bundling in a myriad of other fixes and improvements to the game, both for the Exiled lands and for the Isle of Siptah map. This includes a new Family Sharing server setting admins can use to limit the use of this feature on their servers. This change will also affect official servers, please check our announcement for the specifics of this change.

Thanks for your ongoing support, and stay safe!







Have you wanted to change your character’s looks, hair or makeup? Now is your chance! Build the all new vanity mirror crafting bench and use it to change what before was permanent. The new vanity mirror is available to everyone, but those who own the new Isle of Siptah expansion are getting some brand-new options for hair and faces!




We’re adding new specialized crafting benches make it much easier to organize a myriad of different recipes and give you many new and cool benches to build. There are also several new tiers of crafting benches, offering high level versions with updated looks!
Crafting benches are also becoming much more important with this update. Certain bonuses to crafting are now determined by the tier and type of the crafting bench you have, instead of being determined by the tier of thrall you have.

There are thousands of different recipes in Conan Exiles, and one of the main purposes of the update is to simplify crafting and reduce the number of recipes!




So, what happens to your high tier crafting thralls now that there is no Exceptional or Flawless gear and the crafting stations grant improved benefits? Many of the thralls have gotten unique specializations which give bonuses to gear. For example, an Edgesmith grants weapons additional armor penetration, while the Bladesmith grants weapons a bonus to damage. In addition, some thralls also increase the attributes granted by the armor depending on their tier.

Even though high tier thralls lost some advantages, the items crafted by thralls with certain specializations will be more powerful now than before!

• Crafting system overhaul!
  
• New specialized crafting stations!

  • Taskmasters still provide conversion speed bonuses.

• Fish traps have been completely re-balanced. They now require bait in order to operate (they no longer generate fish passively). The better the bait, the more chances to get exotic or rare fish.
  
• Ichor is no longer part of the Stone Consolidant recipe. You now need resin instead.

Greetings, Exiles!

With the upcoming release of Update 2.1 (currently available for testing on Testlive) we are introducing a new server setting to control Steam Family Sharing on a dedicated server.

Once Update 2.1 is released live, we will disable the possibility to join PC Official servers to those accounts that are accessing the game through Steam Family Sharing feature due to the abuse of this feature .

This means that any secondary accounts that can only play Conan Exiles through Family Sharing will not be able to access any of our Official servers on PC unless they own a license for the game.

We are disabling this feature since it has been abused by some players who are trying to gain advantages, exploit or circumvent bans in official servers with the use and abuse of Family Sharing. To offer a fairer playground for all players in our Official servers, we have decided to move forward with this decision.

Those accounts, however, will still be able to access the rest of the game, including Single Player, Co-Op, and private servers that choose to allow Family Shared accounts.


For private server admins, we are introducing a new server setting to control this feature so you can choose to allow or not the use of Family Shared accounts in your server. The new setting, which will be in the ServerSettings.ini file in your server’s config folder, is as follows:

AllowFamilySharedAccount=True/False

If set to True (which is the default value), any accounts that only own a game license through Family Sharing will be able to join your server. If set to False, access will be restricted.
