Conan Exiles needs some major work. Of the titles I've played in Preview/Early Access, this one feels like the least ready for prime time. Kinda lost interest after only a few hours, with several bugs, clunky controls/menus, and unresponsive combat. "Clunky" is probably the working adjective here. Oh, and the delayed sound effects of dying enemies really irks me. Conan could be a really good game, but not yet.
there, my mini review
The patch is finally rolling out today. I really the hope the fix works or it'll be another 5 days of sitting around not being able to start the game while they wait to patch it a second time.
POE will be out by then, so you wont care
#Silverlining!
Lol. I hhave donee it once or twice too.I have withdrawals waiting that friggin game! I actually the icon on my Pins sometimes in the vein hope they launched it early.
Yeah. I got it bad.
Same here but I will put that in the reviewPatch is downloaded and what do you know, the game breaking bug IS NOT fixed. What the actual f***!
I won't able to do the review this week, Plainview . I've had to loose 14 hours progress and reset everything because the patch didn't fix the single player bug. If it happens again, I think you know how the review will go
twine is the easiest to makeSo, following this "update" I launched my existing game, only to find all my recipe crafting points had been reset. No big deal, as I only had 9 points to reassign. Easy enough. Then I went to craft a bow. But wait a second, twine was not in my recipe list. Hmm. So I check my recipe/crafting purchase screen to verify I had it. I did. On the crafting screen I searched for "twine." Nothing came up. Then, to add insult to injury, I couldn't get "twine" out of the search field, so then NOTHING would show up in my crafting options. I would have just restarted the game and hoped it corrected itself, but forget that nonsense. From the many bugs to the poor interface to the problems I've been having signing into their servers (game usually drops me to the Xbox dashboard 2-3 times before I can finally connect) I'm so done with it.
I can't stress enough how much of a turd this game is right now. In its current state, I'd stay away and save yourself $35. The hour demo is basically worthless and untelling of the broken gameplay. I'm kicking myself for paying for this mess, and I pity those who took Plainview up on reviewing it, as more than 5 hours would be torture. My advice is to wait 6 months, let others be the developer's guinea pigs, and hope that something clicks with their game design, that the console version gets a proper UI, that the bugs get properly squashed, and that the price drops to about $15 to warrant a purchase. Maybe.
Peace.
Also, some race is different in items that they make. I learned that as wellSo, following this "update" I launched my existing game, only to find all my recipe crafting points had been reset.

Dude that patch made a big differenceThere are some seruious bugs in this game. Local saved games can't be progressed at the moment (mine included). There is patch pending with Microsoft.
twine is the easiest to make
Also, some race is different in items that they make. I learned that as well
this has nothing to do with how easy it is to make. can't make it if you don't have the recipe. which i don't, after the "patch."
twine is a basic recipe of my existing character/race (probably all races) that magically disappeared following the glorious "patch."
patches? patches? we don't need no stinking patches. Just a good game, and this isn't it.
Really?
Same to me. I couldnt get my game back. The patch came and I started from scratch. So far just little stuff but not issue that killed it.....yet.Yeah really. I was about 14 hours in, had a decent sized base built, and was ready to try an capture some slaves and I hit the bug where the game would not load. So I waited 5 days for the patch, which said it would fix the single player bug but then it didn't. So last night I started an entire new game, which meant wiping the first 14 hours, and now tonight, I'm after hitting the same bug again, after about 6 hours of game play. I'm done playing until this gets more stable. I'm glad I didn't pay for this.

They are already sending another oatch. Funcom said that they will keep updating till all that issue goes away.
I just lost my save again.The single player bug fix wasn't in the first patch release so they didn't even try to fix it. If they think thats not a priority then I don't know what to say about the whole situation. I manage a large software platform with 70k customers daily. If something was released that didn't work to this level, I would probably be fired, and rightly so. This is just shocking.

Plainview we are waiting on another patch because we are still loosing our progress in this game. I promise as soon this is stable you eill have my review
No but I can tell you once they fix this its champThis isn't a good showing for the game.
This isn't a good showing for the game.
Yes i have both conan exiles and joel creative director and they are working their tail off.It really isn't. I've been following their twitter feed daily and it is filled with complaints about crashing or unplayable games.
Plainview just to let you know there was another update that came but because it was crashing they have a 4th coming and they redid something at their end.
Once that 4th patch comes I will put the video up because I think this game is good but they are killing it with the bugs.
Ark was the same as wellThis game is a reason why people need to be careful of early access.
