bro.... these chapters are not for PvP... PvP is allways the same.... killing and stealling... and toxic psichopaths

[@MatanZlatan]

im glad this game is focusing on story content rather than pvp, its same in MMOs i play and im happy for it, you can go to any shooter game and just shoot and stab others, story is what matters.

i actually laugh a lot watching Andy, its pretty much the only fun at funcom at this point. if the devs dont care why would he, a comunity manager do care..? its bafoonlandia at this point. we should all boycot Dune, I hope their sales go to shit with that game

[@discofilm77]

all I can say is thank you for voicing your clear thoughts about their lack of respectful company standards and professionalism. specially when you've been working on a business project and launching it to an audience trying to profit from it. I have more than 5700 hours on conan and been playing mostly pve official from the get go. Pls undetand I love the game since I fist saw conan in 1984 at the movie house and all its spin offs like beastmaster but in all and clear view the devs are right down messy.🤷‍♂️

[@annythesilent6697]

Once again…they are not prepared at all. They have no idea what they should be talking about or how. It seems more like they are talking about a distant memory than about their current work tasks/results. Why don’t they make a list of topics or important notes to follow during the live stream? Anyone who has a job and has a task that they have to work on for weeks/months should be able to say at least a few meaningful sentences about the results of their work, about the pros and cons etc…especially if you have to present your product to the customers. We are your customers. First of all, Funcom should at least make an effort to try to “sell” their product to us by presenting it in the best possible way. Every new live stream is more embarrassing to watch. The sad part is that any casual player with just a few hundred hours would be able to give a long lecture about the game without even having notes…unlike the devs who cannot even think of a few sentences about the “new and exciting content” during their live stream.

[@sesimie]

So I'm primarily a PVE player of many years. I've learnt that this is building fantasy and not a Survival game anymore. ( I developed rules for and only play Nomadic no crafting/building/permadeath on barbaric) Even Conan in this Game never moves. The Conan I know ( the reason I'm a fan) would put emphasis on survival and combating foes. Exiles is also poorly maintained with my joke "when will crocs attack you in deep water" and old 5 year old bugs never fixed. Chapter three broke my love of this game with horrible camera and turn radius targeting. When BG3 came out it exposed a lot of the live service greed and Exiles has gone this route of battlepasses. I want my Hyboria to be a True Conan Fantasy. Exiles is not that game. Anyway back to RDR2 for a True open world experience. Also Andy kept saying he does not play the game...a simple game tester would know how to fight....sigh.

[@OrysB-po1fy]

You’re a Conan fan but pretend he wasn’t chilling in Aquilonia as king? And he isn’t just standing around. He’s literally the one who cut off Mek Kamoses head. That’s why his head is sitting in a basket now. But he’s said himself he lives for the taste of meat the sting of wine, the embrace of women and yes to slay which he slayed a bunch of mercenaries and thought he slayed Mek K. But he’s got three out of the 4 at the tavern. As he says he’s probably content right now. He’s got food and wine and a woman. That’s why he don’t care about dying or what happens after he dies or where he goes when he dies cause he lives for the now an he has three of the four things he wants and he’ll still do four when he feels like. He’s not a fucking mountain man or fur trapper. Did you even read the actual books or just watch the movies? Your criticism of the game are valid but you’re pretending Conan has never settled in one place that he’s a forever wanderer and that just isn’t true. The game would have been better if it was an action adventure game like GTA or RDR or a RPG like the Witcher. If anything the survival shit isn’t sword and sorcery. Who wants to play in the Conan verse for survival shit and not the adventure an to slay lizard men and sorcerers and save hot women. But this is the only Conan game that isn’t a decade plus old. I don’t think Robert put any thought into that. Conan literally lived as a thief and a pirate. He wasn’t out there collecting bones and animal skins he was just straight up robbing and stealing. I don’t know where this mountain man BS comes from.

[@sesimie]

@@OrysB-po1fy First off. Slow your Roll and relax. I've read every Conan Novel and collected Savage Sword Comics. This is Exiles. This is not Conan King of Aquilona. Conan is the Original Anti Hero but yet we don't actually see him go and Take Mek's head. Wasted Opportunity. He does not even visit our Taverns to give us quests or maybe one day fight along side us. He's been trained in his travels which include almost every group of people R.E.H mentioned. Roy Thomas further continued the Lore but even if we forget decades of continued Lore, everyone knows Conan is a Survivor and not an architect or Sorcerer. Don't ever assume the other person online is an ignoramus. Also I fully agree we need another more "Conan" Video game. Also why does Valeria do nothing except stand still in Camp of Castaways? It's a mark of Laziness from Funcom and a lack of Potential. They just want to pull on nostalgia on those who love the Lore knowing this is the only "updated" Hyboria Game.

[@Zephyro0X]

There is not even the enhanced version of the game on PS5 we play in 30 fps 💀

[@skullbones7452]

At the end he mentiones dennis is in charge or got promoted?I think it already shows in this update.The ballista,etc... i think there will be more focus on PVP .

[@trentdubs9990]

lets hope, to me it seems he's the only one who's ever gave a shit about pvp and knows the game well.

[@f4ptr989]

different dev teams, the main team has been working on dune since siptah, it’s been on life support or basic maintenance until tencent took over and pushed in a battle pass and had funcom hire a dedicated art team just for cosmetics; conan was great is great and has been a wild ride, huge uos and downs for the whole community my take is dune is going to be their magnum opus and everything conan exiles should have been; and ark 2 is coming out and sounds exactly like a conan exiles clone without tek so you’re going to have two top tier survival games coming out in the next 3-6 months! i look forward to riding a worm with you bro! i’ve been with you and conan since the beginning

[@retromegabitsegadude]

Yes, Conan Exiles has a lot of problems but it's still a game I really enjoy playing. And I've been playing for years. I agree, the bazaar/shop is way over priced and built all round FOMO. I hate this and it really does hurt Funcom's reputation in my eyes. So far I have purchased one Battlepass and I've used the crom coins I earn to get into the next battlepass. That has been good value for me. I would love to own everything else but not at their current prices (including their 'sale' prices). I enjoy Andy and Dennis' update streams. I hope they keep doing them.

[@hans-joachimbierwirth4727]

What reputation? Funcom will be known as the worst developer in gaming history for centuries to come. Undisputed champions of sadistic excesses they are. The most depraved shit in gaming history forced on their customers throats retroactively.

[@margi2727]

I'm so amazed that those 2 idiots are still main face of Funcom on live streams . Andy looks like he never play Conan Exiles at all , only on steams . They changed this game so much that it isn't Conan game I've purchased in 2017 , bad way . Only top notch still is building / decors system

[@XevyrPlays]

While some of your video is interesting as I personally haven't watched the livestream this time, just snippets of it and heard that it wasn't their best... It's important to clarify that the ending - and the part that you seem the most upset with - is based solely on your observations and assumptions. So while that's normal as a player.. you see something.. you draw conclusions obviously... in this case though they happen to be incorrect. In fact a new thing was actually developed to combat stamina issues and infinite rolls.. it was merely not yet turned on. It's most likely still being considered and fine-tuned. The jest of it is basically that whenever you dodge-roll you get a hidden stacking debuff for 2.5 seconds that will reduce your stamina regen rate for that period by 1/3rd.. so if you roll 3 times in a quick succession you'll end up with no stamina regen for 2.5 seconds at all.. How do I know? I've seen the source code for it, it's simply unhooked, but it's there and it's been in the works. Now other than that, I've no clue what happened to it... we don't have yet a devkit for the next chapter either, so idk.. they either reconsidered and pulled the plug on it, or they feel like it's not quite good enough and want to further tweak it, so this small change with the 10x fixed delay might be an experimental first step who knows..

[@Magnus9284]

The dev team is a troupe of clowns, they just ripped off the execution system from The Surge, and they didn't even made it as good.

[@daemonwulfe]

There's an underlying tension going on between these two. Dennis has the look of a man who hates his day to day life, like he can barely wait to clock out and go home. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the devs are the hackers running rampant on their own game. It's just speculation, but that shit runs rampant and completely unchecked. That'd be an awesome way to make side money, develop and sell the hacks to your own game.

[@f4ptr989]

they’re in oslo ,norway; pretty sure only disgruntled employees do stuff like that and even then risking an nda for some pocket change is a big risk; i don’t see it, they get paid way too much, have too good of a work life balance and get a ton of paid vacation a year, i doubt anyone at funcom is disgruntled especially after the buyout, i bet everyone got a nice bonus my take is dennis is tired, but probably just his personality in front of a camera, he seems cautious but in all honesty it seems so thrown together it’s as if a pr team set this up without knowing who they were going to get to host until 10-15 minutes before the stream, and neither looks very familiar with being in front of an audience or a camera, i want jens and natascha and nicole back

[@kazdull]

Props to the art team, all the rest is trash. I would also stay away from Dune at start. Want to see enough streamers playing it and liking it before I consider it.

[@Provokatze23]

Sadly i think dune will just be another game to sell more skins. Not much hope there.

[@papadoom]

I think Dennis is really trying, but the company has other priorities. The issue I have is people like Andy are who are the companies representatives and have no clue how the game they work for even works. Andy is the hardest to watch

[@Provokatze23]

Happy that i deleted all my bases and uninstalled the game lol

[@draxx85]

i am very glad they aren't doing fatalities in pvp. It just freezes you in place to do the animation. Would be a disaster. What they need to do is fix stam and the attributes. I wish they still had the old attributes system, it was way better. Also remember that Dennis is a manager. He doesn't actually do any of the work. He play tests and manages the people who are figuring out the solutions to the problem. I bet those people aren't pvp players at all, they are just generic designers who are usually woke morons. (I am an engineer at a games studio so i see it all the time)

[@isaacjacobs1167]

Conan exiles has been trash for so long now. Endless bugs, glitches and dupes with more problems added than problems fixed with every patch. People dont even PvP, they just wait for that one day you dont play to offline raid you with duplicated bombs.

[@b5freak445]

You mentioned how the PvP community didn't care about the stamina change. Trust me, it's not the PvP or PvE community that the devs are listening to. It's the RP community because they are the loud squeaky wheel. That and Tencent doesn't focus on quality, they focus on wringing out every last cent from their player base they posssibly can. That's why there's a battle pass and microtransaction store.

They have so much time to finish additions to the game, but they would rather put all of their time to making bazaar items and battlepass items, rather than work on the actual game itself. Now that palworld is out and other survival games. Conan is going to be non existent soon and i highly doubt dune awakening will be any good.

[@hiss9989]

Community Manager on the left. Associate Game Director on the right. One of these roles includes engaging the community. The other doesn't. Can you guess which job title doesn't involve "pulling you in" to the livestream? "He's here cause he gotta be here" is pretty much every job, ever.

Why devs and their higher ups not know basic thing, if they sell good and supported game, then happy customers will pay them buying bazarstuff to enjoy game more!!

Look man these are game developers not livestreamers and they have their resources split between conan and the new dune game coming out they are adding things that actual fans want to the game there are hundreds of other survival games out there if you don't like it you can go play those instead of complaining about nothing any addition to the game is good

[@bonecrusher449]

I have seen multiple live streams of game developers, and they are actually excited for what they do and proud of their work. They aren’t because they know CE is trash. "Any addition to the game is good“ 🤦 You’re literally just excited for something new, like the people who stand in line to get the new iPhone. The reason the player count goes downhill is that they don’t fix issues that have existed for years. If your game is broken, the first priority should be to ACTUALLY FIX those issues. But no, they just add more stuff that breaks even more. "Just play something else" is also a nonsensical response. If you’re fine with broken products enjoy it. But not everyone accepts that, we payed them for a functioning product, and that’s what FC has to deliver!

[@miclam00]

Negativity is quite a broad term in this sense. If honestly and sharing ones opinions is automatically considered negative then your friends must love you.

[@opadrinhopt8198]

You should be concerned about the security of the game and value the time wasted by the pvp people at the expense of those who walk under the map to enter other bases

[@TheRealKill4Kicks]

While I do agree with the lack of professionalism and preparation regarding presentation itself. It genuinely seems like you just don't like these people, or the direction the game is going.. There are plenty of other survival games out there, and watching this video didn't make me dislike funcom, just your channel 😂

[@bonecrusher449]

In other words, they are not able to fix anything and just add more fluff to a broken game… and you’re fine with that… And you dislike him for addressing their incompetence… …sure why not? Why fix the thrall and pet feeder boxes that are broken for about a year? Players love to feed all their thralls and pets individually, which are nerfed into the ground already. And you know i could continue all day long, this was only ONE example. That the game continues to lose more and more players is also not FC‘s fault in your opinion i guess? It’s the crybabies fault who want a working product for their money. 🤦
