Literally... nobody asked for inventory changes. I wish they would just change it back. It's been triangle for years ... why change it? The update just wild.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Yeah and the rolling thrust nerf has most weapons feeling pretty useless too

Yeah for PVP especially.

[@SuperD007]

Nice video! I think the hotfix dropped today but judging by some comments online it's broken more again than it's fixed 😅

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Thank you! And oh no lol, shocker 😂

[@isaacjacobs1167]

Feels like they just randomly change stuff so it seems like they're actually working on the game

[@skullbones7452]

Yeah, its like they have to show a list at the end of the month to someone who doesnt have a clue whats going on.

[@SkimpDow]

Man🎉

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Pretty much

[@squizzel20]

Thralls instantly train now too, if you leave food inside It kinds accrues craft time, same with the food guess, if you leave the wood inside it acts as if the food youre trying to cook was in for much longer so it decays... well same for thralls except they then insta train

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

That’s so bizarre lol

[@thorsforge2905]

Ok, I just checked. On PC the shortcut around the arena champion is still there. Where you were looking at in the video is just to the right of the spot where you can go through the wall.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Ok good to know. I’m surprised I missed that, I usually go through there every time lol.

[@TippyGunman]

Got all the event items ground out on my pvp server. Was a fun grind but it get's repetitive after a while

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Yeah it takes forever lol, and most of the time when we are on PVP servers, we stay less than a week, and there’s too much else that actually needs done during that time.

[@keeper1978]

I gotta say I’m on console Xbox , I had a Star caller spawn and after a few minutes of it calling meteors my game frozen and crashed , I tested this three times every time I got the caller my game would crash

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Wow, not surprised lol

[@SuperD007]

Oh wow they changed the run method with the new hotfix, now you have to hold down r3 to run and it's difficult as it keeps popping back out so you slow down again.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Seriously? Why do they keep changing stuff?? Lol.

[@SuperD007]

I was resetting some decay timers today and ruined my thumb trying to run! Honestly it's incredible how they mess stuff up so consistently 😂

[@darkrebel123]

I initially thought the execute thing was a boring asthetic add, but when you execute it gives you a heal and a buff that increases your damage output. So it could actually have some utility.

[@KUTZUM4]

If it worked I've got it to work once I usually sit there spamming and it does nothing horrible feature until fixed

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

That’s good to know you get a buff. And I heard they’re doing a rework, but I don’t know what. It does leave you vulnerable so maybe they’re fixing that

[@darkrebel123]

@@KUTZUM4 I agree that it is clunky to say the least. Probably doesn't have any net utility at this point

Some small bosses were following me around the map. Siptah. But they disappeared after a while. But I know how things happen in new update.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Are they werewolves? Because that’s probably part of the event.

[@momomartinez3935]

The NPCs at mounds of the dead are taking 4 full heavy combos for me too kill was that intended that they be that strong? In New Asagarth it's just like 1 full heavy combo.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

That definitely doesn’t seem right. I thought they seemed a little tougher but I thought I was losing it. Was taking more than 2 heavies with a Musashi’s to kill them.

Love all your videos man. Have you noticed if hammers are taking over the meta, or are all fights still great axe spam post spear nerf?

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Thank you! Yeah seems like hammers are really good, and great axe still is, but not quite as good since rolling thrust has been nerfed.

[@TroyanoNanoInmortal]

Para mí la meta perfecta es la catana y la clave de combates está en lleva coraje

[@Silthanas]

@@exiled_phoen1x174 does great axe have a higher stam cost than hammers? I assume everything took a fairly even hit from the rolling thrust nerf.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

I don’t know the exact stamina cost, but I think great axe heavies maybe cost less than hammer heavies.

[@evearom5039]

i have farmed well over 40k crystal with a pick.

[@punishergaming2838]

Thanks for the info thiers a lot need to fix. Would be nice if they fixed on pc so people can’t buy cheats. Been dealing with hackers man people just taking everything out of my locked boxs during non raid hours. Also they need to make it so u can lvl up thralls a bit faster I feel. Thralls take forever to lvl

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

That’s crazy. I’m glad we don’t have to deal with some of that stuff on console, even if the performance is pretty poor. Yeah if they’re gonna nerf thralls they need to make them easier to level lol.

[@latestaff9748]

theres another problem sometimes when you do a purge and take the iteams from the lockd chest and you pressthe button to take the iteam it glitches back in that chest instead of your invatory

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Ooo I’ve had that happen in my base too lol.

[@latestaff9748]

thought i thought it was just me but now tht i know it happen to others and this guy lied you cant place thralls next to each i tried it an it says cnt place thralls close to each other@@exiled_phoen1x174

[@apnp_apnu]

Unconscious Body's do not show their health bar, new hyenas do not get aggrod by anything and can wipe out and entire zombie army single handedly. Random kill boxes around the map that will just drop you dead instantly, gods being pointless and able to be destroyed before they are even summoned, it takes 53 minutes to craft 100 bombs now. They also halved the cost of a lot of things for no reason. Nerfed stamina making the lodestone meta insane.

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

Wow, yeah it’s definitely in a bad spot. Just had a Dalinsia die when I ported into sinkhole because she fell 😂

[@chinimon8259]

Im glad i dropped conan

[@my0866]

Not to mention the fact that None of these event items are shown in your ancestral knowledge. So if you change server or change character none of these items are craft able without having to farm them all again

[@Jus_Joj]

if it was ancestral knowledge they'd need to completely change the way they give the items out. Ancestral knowledge is a category meant for the bazaar and battlepass items. You can just admin the items into your inventory, if you were able to admin in bazaar items... by god, the game just might be decent. And we can't have that! We need our players to be fucking miserable! Give Funcom your money, your time and your happiness. Duh.

[@my0866]

@@Jus_Joj all I’m saying that the grind to get 1000 Gnarled Fangs just for cloak takes a long time and a lot of grind, I know this because I have done it. I have yet to start the whole long grind again for the other items. I would hate it , if after all that grind the items you unlock are taken from you after the chapter ends.

I absolutely hate the force sort feature, whenever I want to organize my inventory, this games sucks more butts than before!!!

[@patrickmace5340]

Honestly with the recent changes. And with how many changes have happened to this game, and all of it changed things I loved since day one. Every time they create a new update. They break on average as low as 3 things, if not more. Absolutely every single time. The nail in the coffin for me, has been how Funcom has completely destroyed thralls. They've made tier 1 thralls stronger than tier 4 ones. Which makes ABSOLUTELY ZERO SENSE. Yes thralls have long been broken. And for entirely too long they were way too strong. To the point of all you needed was one or two good T4 thralls and you were pretty much untouchable. And yes that was stupid. And yes that was broken. But to reduce thralls to the point that you don't even have a reason to want to look for ANYTHING beyond a tier 1, is asinine. I hate the new purge system. I hate what they did to Avatar's. I hate the fact that they removed the god bubble. I hate that every addition that has been as of late is all hidden behind a pay wall. I hate the fact that they're no longer releasing DLC's. And instead are releasing them in segments via the bizarre. Case and point any of the recent building sets. They'll release a base set. Within a few weeks another set of pieces they just so happened to leave out last time, and then a few weeks of not month later here's a third installment of that same set you've been forced to purchase, not once, not twice, but three times now. And just so you could actually get everything that the set should have just come with from the start. They aren't adding content. They're adding additional pay walls. Which is why I've like completely stopped playing this. I know they just want my money. They don't care about what they break. They don't care that the changes they're making are actively destroying the game. In fact I contend it's intentional on their end. Because they're getting ready to kill Conan. And try and force the community to buy Dune instead. And all I can say is that's not happening at least from me. Funcom has lost my business. And I'm not the only one who feels this way or has gone this route. So I'll never partake in Chapter 4. I'll never get the few things it offers, and frankly I just don't care. Because I know if I really want much of any of it, it'd only be a matter of time before any of it shows back up in the bizarre with a price tag of as low as 9.99$-20$

[@exiled_phoen1x174]

I agree it does look like they are just cash grabbing. All of Age Of War could be reverted and I think many people would be happy. And I don’t buy anything from the bazaar. If they ever give me free stuff to do a video on, fine, but I don’t like that only the account who buys the stuff can equip the gear, etc.

Cimmerian npc's taking very little damage from star metal/legendary weapons. Who knew a Cimmerian Alchemist I is so godly?
