Launch Day Impressions - Conan Exiles Previews

The tales of Conan the Barbarian have epitomized the essence of survival in the most brutal of environments. It’s only fitting that the land of Hyboria is adapted to a survival title. It’s only right that fans of the Barbarian have their opportunity to carve out their own fortunes and answer for themselves, “What is best in life?” This is our Conan Exiles preview impressions.

Here's to hoping I can use my under utilized gaming pc to host a ps4 server for my friends and I to play on. If not,.I guess I will shell over the $10 a month to rent a server.

BillMurphy · May 2018

It's nite and day compared to Early Access launch. Seriously huge improvements. Just wish there were more than 40 people per server...

My friends and I have consistently played since the beginning of Early Access. We even convinced one of our die-hard LOTRO friends to play and it has quickly become one of her favorite games. No one in our group considered themselves avid survival game fans, but we'll all play this one for hours on end, as well as live streaming it ( www.twitch.tv/Romeomoon1 ).
Now we've gone and gotten a private server ( Lounge L33ts ) that tries to emulate the old (and now deleted) PVE Fast public server settings. Needless to say, watching the game change so drastically over the months has left us eager to jump on.
I know some people are really disappointed with the cuts made to the Sorcery, pet, and mount systems as well as the changes to the Purge system, but I feel the game offers more than enough in entertainment value. This especially now that the devs have made the game harder with changes to the healing, leveling, and crafting systems as well as introducing new areas and worlds bosses and a fast travel system that encourages exploration. I'm enjoying it, and I highly recommend at least trying the game. Even the single player option has great entertainment value.

Guys, stop shilling so hard, game is still bad.

If there's a majority of users enjoying it now more than when it came out, it's not shilling.

Look at the steam reviews now as opposed to EA launch. Very positive as opposed to mixed. They improved the game obviously.

Maybe one day these survival games will actually be MMO's instead of having multiplayer with 40 people on a server.

So I did have early access PC version but due to life ended up getting rid of my gaming rig.

I am now a console junky.

IMO Conan early access looked way better than launch PS4 Pro. WTH. I am also seeing a few bugs, no biggy. The thing I am noticing is no screen size adjustment available. For some reason the screen is oversized just a bit...but annoying enough that it cuts text to button actions off half way.

Moving around the UI , ex like for crafting, is clunky as crap. I am hoping there are short cuts or something with the controller that I have missed.

Off to play some more GOW while Funcom fixes some bugs.

I played day one EA, and of course, today. it's amazing how this game has improved.

They seem to have pulled their act together for the launch! Will be playing at least until Eden Rising comes out. Probably both after that.

Sorry, but the Launch was Terrible. If they would have had their act together, they would realize that the 1 million Copies sold vs their Server capacity ratio was not planned out at all.

When you can't get in to even play on Launch day, that is a problem.

They are addressing it however.

Cryomatrix · May 2018

How is the combat?

Mackaveli44 · May 2018

Launch has been flawless for me. Huuuuuuge upgrade from the early access. Early access was a hot mess but man have they done a great job. Played for many hours today with zero issues, zero lag, zero disconnects, 60+ fps the entire time, 40/40 ppl on the server. Night and day difference and I like it.

The revamped combat is awesome! I love it. So much better than the previous iteration.

SomeHuman · May 2018

I think the server limit is a little low. At the same time, I wouldn’t want it over 60’ish. “Small Servers provide the right conditions for player interaction, creativity and bonding. It also keeps the map from being entirely consumed with builds. I’d rather be on a small server with people I regularly encounter than random people running by in silence in a full-on mmorpg because they’re in their guild discord or chat. There is already a Conan mmorpg. I don’t think we need another.

Waan · May 2018

As several said above, huge improvement compared to EA. Well done.

Pay a bit more and get a quality server that can host 60 ppl, little lag, and great support options if something goes wrong. $50 for a server should be good.

There are still some favorites in the game that a lot of people recommend, such as 2h sword or spear. It used to be archery for just about everything before the combat changes, but now archery is kind of meh in my opinion. For me, I've fallen in love with the dual wield dagger style. The only downside is the hitbox for daggers is extremely small, so you literally have to be aiming dead center on your target or you aren't going to land many hits.

I fcking love the dagger style. However, if auto-lock is disabled on the server you're on, OR if someone is using a spear that easily outranges you, then you are screwed. Talking from experience here.

This is the best MMO like game launched this year, if you have another contender do say.

Great to hear, guess am going to get the game, just need to decide if PC or Xbox.

It is one thing to do some "conduct unbecoming" but quite another to even think about chossing the Xbox over the PC. If this is a really a question for you I know a good psychiatrist you can go to.

Fair enough, guess PC is it.

Jakdstripper · May 2018

i re-downloaded this game but just keeps crashing. it will play for 10-15 min and then just crash. i've turned everything down. still crashes.....meh....one other one of these i see....

phantomghost · May 2018

Definitely has been a lot of improvements since I last played in February or so... unfortunately since the servers are always full, you can't play.

Biggest downside to this game is multiple servers and 40 max population.

Perhaps the Rift relaunch?

Certainly not SotA.

I would say Rift is a MMO, so it can't be the best 'MMO-like', also not sure any of these relaunch/reboot/classic can be thought of as a new game. However if you had not played any of the MMOs that had re-whatever this year, I would definitely look there before CE. SOTA has not even launched, still in Ever Early Access.
