[@MS-ys6vj]

I didnt think they could top that nemedian haunted pack.. but boy oh boy did they manage with this one.... its even more low effort, not worth more than $2 or $3 bucks

[@Eradicati0nn]

@@MS-ys6vj Eh I disagree, I think Nemedian Haunted is still one of the worst bundles. This one at least has cultural, internal & external cohesion, nothing felt Nemedian about the Nemedian bundle, it would have been more accurate to just name it "spooky items" 😂

[@BrentDnD]

I 100% agree with your assessment. To make the price tag even more out of line for me is the fact that I wouldn't use the saddle or the mace. I always like more clothing/armor options, but when you get up into the $15-$20 price range, I want to see much more in a bundle than what this offers.

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

Yep,me too. I hate the mace animations,too dancy, like performance art. I want the outfits. The horse armour is neither here nor there.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah I'm not much of a horse user, nor a mace enthusiast. It'd be more worth it for someone that falls into that niche of using everything in the set, but even then I wouldn't say it's worth $17

[@CMDR_Analdo_Blackvoid]

If you look at what you used to get from one of the DLC’s it’s laughable that you now pay more, for 5-10 times less. For $20 you could/can buy a DLC with a whole new island and tons of new contents. Now the same amount of $ will only get you a handful of building blocks LOL. Thanks, but no, I’m not interested in throwing more money into Tencents greedy pockets.

[@crazyscotsman9327]

I really, really wish that Funcom would give us 'barbarian' culture stuff. Like Cimmerian gear being similar to Scottish Highlander stuff (great kilts, claymores etc). Or more stuff that looks like the Conan comics. And come on give us something like Conan's father's sword, or the swords from the Jason Mamoa Conan movie cause they'd look awesome in the game.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I'd be down to see more Barbarian stuff. We've gone through a lot of different aesthetics so far, to varying degrees of depth, but a fair amount have been a bit more refined like this, Zingaran etc. I'd like to see some proper barbaric gear, or Darfari/Black Kingdoms

[@crazyscotsman9327]

@@Eradicati0nn It's the one thing I find most annoying. I liked the Aesir stuff. But give us Cimmerian stuff, and Darfari, and others like it. Like I desperately want a Cimmerian building set.

[@Tacomaholic]

That price is certainly out of this world.

[@PJMack10]

The game has turned into a fancy dress parade.. Not interested!

And here I was hoping for a new build video but this is still good. Thanks for the heads up

[@Bozinian]

I so appreciate eradication reviewing these honestly and fairly, calling out the price gouging. Ill follow you across multiple games bro cause you're looking out for your subs and not just recommending that we support funcom rubbish because they might support you periodically

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you Boz, I find it's always pretty transparent when creators only recommend stuff based on their relationship with the devs. Fortunately the Conan creator community isn't really like that, and for all their faults, Funcom have never asked me (or anyone else that I know of) for positive coverage of something, just honesty. Conan's gonna remain my main game for the foreseeable future, assuming nothing unexpected happens ofc. I'll be trying Dune for a bit when it drops, but no game really holds my interest as much as Conan does, nor am I as passionate about any other game (aside from Cyberpunk maybe 😂)

[@Bozinian]

@@Eradicati0nn am the same I started on Xbox switched to my my console playstation and now trying mods on pc three times I've bought this thing It's a real love hate relationship

[@Eradicati0nn]

@@Bozinian That was me with Borderlands 2 😂 Took me 3 purchases across 3 different platforms to finally "get" it

[@lonewanderer3456]

These items added to the Argossean tower build set would have been 'reasonable' for say 1200 cc's,...but no way is it worth 2000+ on it's own.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I highly suspect we're gonna see a 'Corinthian Super Set' in the future that consolidates the Argossean extension and all Corinthian bundles into a (comparatively) better price

[@Lost_Elfgirl]

Love everything here and finally the horse do not lose its tail! YAY I only wish the blue would be black or we could dye the saddle but well, it is beautiful even in blue.

[@fireball6840]

If you are playing in singleplayer, I've found a fix to the lack of wind physics since I too experienced it a lot (seemingly at random). If your clothes are lacking simulation physics, go to the nearest orb of nergal and change your height as close to normal medium height (right in the middle of the slider) as you can. Take all your armor off and place it all back on. As soon as your physics are working again, use the orb of nergal and set your height to the desired height you want again. The bug has something to do with height on the male model (not sure about female model bug replication). Great video! Love the sets a lot but you said it perfectly, they're just so expensive.

[@kajus]

I was surprised to see these cloth items be so averse to clothing physics. One of the things that impressed me when I first started playing Conan years and years ago were the hair/cloth physics. Seeing as the big Sandstorm is an important event in the Exiled Lands, it made sense that your hair and clothes could be violently whipped around as a result, and that the game leaned into that with a robust engine for items to be affected by the weather. As soon as I saw that the head wrap didn’t move off of your shoulders when moving around, and being very aware that other similar head pieces do exactly that, it raised a big red flag for me.

[@KCBlackwood111]

I'd be more interested in this set if it also included the Corinthian decor items currently in the admin panel (that haven't made it into the bazaar yet). Same with the pictish stalker stuff, if they put everything together in the bazaar, I'd have probably bought it the first go round.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Yeah I found it strange that they're dropping the deco and the armor separately. I'm very much anticipating a Corinthian super bundle similar to the Aquilonian one, where all the previous Corinthian sets are put together for a comparatively better price

[@GrymmsPlace]

Excellent summary as always. Corinthian Stargazer set (four items) - nope, not economical and does indeed appear to have issues with animations, etc. so a big 'No' for me. The Argossean Observatory and Aesir Stronghold sets I have already got in dribs and drabs via th DLC and the recent add to Argossean - Aesir when it landed. Of course, the one very active builder on my server has everything so at least one sale has been made of the Stargazer - hopefully the Creative that did it gets payment.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Thank you Grymm! Hopefully the issues with texture stretching and wind physics won't show up for most people, I know it's disappeared for me as quickly as it's appeared in the past. My main issue with the set was just how middle-ground it is tbh, it doesn't feel like anything special for the price, even if it is very high on the cohesive scale Always appreciate seeing you in the comments, glad you enjoyed the video my man 🙏

[@Laghagua]

If it was like 5$ or close to that i'd cosider to buy it. But for me other Bazar things have much more value for money than that one. 17$ for that few (even if highly detailed) is INSANE!

[@ItsViva85]

Have they gone mad!?! $17 for cosmetic items?! When you get around $20 there must be building pieces!

[@Lost_Elfgirl]

The physics bug comes when you change clothes. You can reset the physics with teleport from one corner of the map to the other in the longest way you can. Sadly this is mostly not possible at official servers but with admin port you can do it whenever you want. Sometimes you have to do it more times.

[@lawrenceflower8418]

I have found that if you play to the strengths it is very good. Not a costume for characters I believe, however my thralls in the Corinthian blends well with the argosian build. The weather effect not visible is very good for indoor throws as they are indoors where it is not windy. This is something that has always bugged me. I also believe that mixing with other costumes works very well. I have used the bath robes with the academic and blue dye to outfit my Mitra Priest. For me the set cures some issues I have had and I find value in the price I paid.

[@piotrgruszka9128]

Thx for video.

[@stevenheckman-oz3mp]

Realy wish the Bazar would load.

[@trolltalwar]

Tencents prices are outrageous. Even compared to other games cash shops, this ones very expensive. Tencent will never budge on the prices though

[@AndrewRyan05]

the issue with this test: the clothes physics is off because of invalid character size.. with phisic on, it's different when you walk etc....put your characters at 50% size for fx bug (you need reequipe also)

[@LuKoFi]

for that price I would expect a weapon for all types and a few placeables. Clothes look nice butfor 17 dlls it is a miss for me.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I have been and continue to be extremely critical of the prices in the bazaar. IMO all of the items in the bazaar are over priced. I'm not asking for a constant stream of free content. Just a reasonable price point. Having gotten that out of the way..... I'm impressed that Funcom allows you to give your honest opinion. Other studios would have cut you off long ago. Most studio gifts come with expectations.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I think the building sets are generally alright at the $10 price point, but most other things are generally overpriced to varying degrees, with a couple of exceptions here or there. For all the issues with Conan, Funcom's never asked for anything but honesty in regards to how I (and other creators) feel about features, bundles etc. I watch some other creators for titles like COD and it seems many studios are a lot worse than Funcom in terms of creator relations. Activision allegedly stalk their creators and cut them off if they breathe even a hint of negativity 😂 I count myself lucky in that regard

[@mausolus8466]

Funcom should really kick out that "pricing advisor" of theirs - that person must be totaly nuts if they think those prices in Bazaar are even somewhere near acceptable. Take your torches and pitchforks if you will, but I start to miss Battlepass dearly (cultural DLCs I even won't bother mentioning)...

[@darthtempest4722]

I just wonder if I set my gaze upon the star if it will tell me when Conan exiles will get fixed for console

[@spaghbol4536]

The prices in the bazaar are absolutely ridiculously exaggerated.

[@OEFOIFOUPVet]

I was shocked for the $17 price tag, I decided immediately it was a hard pass.

[@Tovek]

I normally buy every offering except the stand alone armor ones unless they really appeal to me. I looked at this set numerous times and just don’t find myself drawn enough to spend that type of money.

[@Eradicati0nn]

I'm the same, the designs are fine but I'm not pulled towards them aesthetically

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

It actually would cost 20$USD to get the adequate amount of Crom Coins and therefore, in my opinion, the set is 20$USD. You cannot get it for 17$USD.

[@DmytroBogdan]

The problem with the hat can be described with the meme: "look at his head", especially the female head looks deformed under the hat. For comparison, Aesir set is 4.5 usd right now in my region...

[@my0866]

I got that bundle, feeling ripped off , plus it has clipping issues around the right arm. Funcom needs to do a lot more about the quality and price, seeing as they still haven’t fixed the living settlement or thralls getting stuck in foundations. We need an independent QC tester.

[@Nifter71]

We have one: Eradication.

[@firemonkey229]

must be nice getting stuff for free

[@ph11p3540]

Right on. The price is way, way out of reason for what you are getting.

[@DarkPaladin1130]

17.00... 😂😂😂😂😂

[@YepImThatGuy66]

I like the outfits, but.. maybe for 10 bucks and that's pushing it.

[@Nifter71]

If Funcom released monthly cultural DLC packs, they'd be virtually guaranteed monthly purchases from a huge number of players. Darfari, Kushite, Hyrkanian, Cimmerian, Hyperborean are all criminally under-served by base game building sets, armours etc. - never mind the cultures they've barely touched like Himelian, or not touched at all, like Afghuli... But I guess the metrics must bear out this approach instead: psychologically manipulating the fanbase into shelling out tip dollar for inadequate tidbits.

[@Malaena]

cloak should also be a seperate item really

[@Eradicati0nn]

I think Dennis mentioned before there was a technical issue with adding a back item like a cloak, though I agree, I would love to have just a separate cloak slot in general

[@asgarth6191]

I have the money and would buy but as long as they don't fix the game no more money from me. I am so tired to see my thralls sticking into the ground whenever I fight the crocodile and all the other things.

[@Eradicati0nn]

You make a stellar point tbh, I think a lot of possible purchasers are wary of doing so given the game's massive bugs at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if bug fixes directly increase Bazaar revenue to some degree 😂

[@Ulward47]

Funcom out of their minds

[@rootpower8664]

17$ is much too high. They need to adjust those prices.

[@koookeee]

Let's face it: CE has turned into a cash cow where we are expected to pay absurd amounts of money for content that offers less than the former DLC bundles.

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

The Zath dancer outfit does the same "stickiness" thing as these outfits do and is why I stopped wearin' it long ago. It sticks to the legs and stretches out badly when climbing. It looks terrible. Sexy outfit,but terrible to wear. On dancers,it's not bad because as long as they're just dancin' it doesn't stretch too bad. The horse armour here is pretty noticeable and would probably bother me,the robes not so much. Why don't they fix these issues?? They've been in the game for years. And,why does it only effect a few and not others??

[@Eradicati0nn]

I have no idea what causes the sticky clothing issue, I've not been able to nail it down, and sometimes it disappears as quickly as it shows up. I'm guessing it's probably fallen quite low on the list though, given the wealth of issues currently at play 😂

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

@Eradicati0nn Yeah,but it's been there for years so my guess is it'll never be fixed. Thanks for the response. ✌🏼

[@Acirno]

I have found that the prices are way too high, for what you get it could easily be 1/4 the price

[@espenh9602]

My sub didn't tick you up to 30k, but 1 is more than none :) - I think at that pricetag, atleast there shouldn't be any clipping. Personally would never buy at that price.

[@jasonhaettich2610]

The prices have just got out of hand. When you compare them to what the game itself costs or the older DLC prices, the cost/content is just WAY off. The game is full of bugs and it's getting more difficult to justify still playing in the first place. I'd pay $17 for a smooth running, crash free game rather than for some clothes a weapon skin.

[@blightcraftgamma]

My game is still terminally bugged since last bug update. It keeps freezing on m trying to load single player game. Shame, I was enjoying the game.

[@Eradicati0nn]

Myself and quite a few others have had that issue. The only workaround I've found is to back up your save files and start a new save, that way you can still play, and hopefully when a fix is made, you can import your save data and the fix will apply to it. I'll have a guide on how to do that (for PC) coming soon

[@Sadarsa]

For $17 i could buy a new indie game.

[@Mike-m9h2p]

There will never be any Frank Frazetta inspired outfits in this game. This is really dull.

[@AdryanBlantz]

I wish they would just make a whole new Conan themed game. Back when sorcery was just making undead followers never had any issues. It just seems the more content they add the worse it gets. A shame, I miss playing it.

Easy pass

[@Selrahcbal]

Yep, sadly this is becoming the norm. The overpriced bundles are ruining the game for me. I've been a pretty staunch purchaser, and I've bought some of the things you've "not recommended" before. But these days, I just don't care anymore, which is sad. With the lengthy actual content droughts and the highway robbery of the Bazaar, I'm almost done with Conan. I'm not logging in just to spend more money on Crom coins. They seriously need to rethink the Bazaar or reintroduce the Battlepass or do something that is actual game content. I feel like the devs are being pushed by Ten Cent to turn this game into a cash grab.

[@PJMack10]

Absolute joke I'm glad I deleted this game.. I wouldn't even use that garb if it were free!

[@sirdigbychickencaesar71]

like all of the new outfits made after they changed the way we buy dlc's ....its ugly, they worked real hard to take the sexy out of this game, so I took my money out of the game.
