How long is the poll running for?

Poll will end on thursday night

There are so many different opinions about these two topics that we feel a vote is needed.

I combined avatars and stairs together!

So if you want to be able to remove ur stairs avatars will be ON.
If you dont want stairs removed avatars will be OFF.

I hope this is not too confusing and that u understand what i mean.

Not being allowed to remove stairs could be hard for us admins to keep track of but were up for giving it a try!
If we see anyone abusing a stair rule or using this rule to frame someone else it will result with a INSTANT BAN

RESPECT THE RULES! RESPECT ADMINS!

No boosted rates. Everything is vanilla except a few exceptions.

Claiming radious is changed from 1.0 to 0.5
Avatars are ON but only 2 days a week (more info will come)

So the two days the avatars will be on is Saturday´s and sunday´s.

Thanks for testing. I have not tested this myself, but I think it might be possible to attack your own stair with a steel sword to low hp and thus making it disappear alot quicker

ohh yeah ur right ;o ill have to do some more testing! 

People seem to believe that raiding in Conan without avatars is impossible, so me and Wurre decided to do some testing.

We built the most common build using stairs. We used the lowest tier of stairs (sandstone) and the highest tier 3 on everything else.
The sandstone stairs only have 700 HP and the t3 door got 2500 HP (i know it says window but it's the door! Alpha game)

You may think that if an explosive is placed infront of a door on stairs, the stairs would break before the door does. But this is not the case.
The AOE damage from the explosive is so weak that the stairs barely lost any HP at all.

At the moment you cant raid bases where you cant reach the foundations to blow up to get close enough to put up a jump tower.

Could reducing the claiming raidus be an option?

We have decided to turn the avatars off. 

The reason we do this is cause of the destruction they're able to do.
We feel that avatars makes everyhing else irrevelant in this game.
Its easier to farm up and get an avatar than it is to raid someone with explosives.
A lvl 50 player could build a little hut, summon a avatar, and raid whoever they wanted without anything to loose.
It dossent matter how much you build, how much you farm. You cant protect yourself from the avatar, and everything u worked for would be gone in seconds.

With avatars off however, the farm will be worth farming again.
Build strong bases. Make it expensive to raid using explosives.
It would bring new meaning into the game. Then you have a reason to build a base, then you have a reason to use t3 walls instead off t1/t2.

When using an avatar it dosen't matter if you have t1 or t3, it dosent matter how hard you worked on your base.

Atm we just feel that its all just to unbalanced. When avatars are more neutralised to the rest of the gamemechanics and there is a way to fight/win/deffend against an avatar we will deffenetly turn them on again.

We understand that some off you do not agree with us on this, and we dont blame you.
Our goal is and will always be to the keep this server as active, fun and fair as long as possible.

What do u think about lowering the time the avatar is summoned? to like 15 seconds?

This is seriously how i feel when i play conan xD

Hey ! following a little chat on global i thought i post this here so anyone can come forward and suggest a good Modd they know to have on server or anywhere 

I'm gonna go ahead and make the obvious suggestion; Map Coords ! i want to be able to tell my friends exactly where i am at any given moment without alt tab to grid map or describing the scenery lol

Just a suggestion next time that we do not have a Vote, as players, on the matter in chat

Some people arent online and cant say what they want, and it took longer than it should to reach a conclusion.
Next time the admins should just do what they feel is the right move.

I was against a server rollback as i had already settled my peace with loosing the items and started farming again, but if the admins had just told us that the server wass rolled back 30 mins, right after the issue was discovered, i wouldnt have had an issue with it.
 

I beleve Wurre talked with you all in chat, and from what he understood the majority wanted us to load a backupfile to get all the lost items that probably took days for some people to get. The reason it took some time was firstly because we were looking for any information about this, was it the patch? was it battleye? did it happen to other servers?

We did not want to do anything before we knew what was wrong or if we even could do anything about it.
When we finaly found out that it was probably just us having this issue we decided to roll it back to right before the patch so everyone would get there lost items back.

The server patched around 23:30 and we did a rollback to 23:00 to make the loss before patching as small as possible.

We are sorry that it took about 2hrs before we did a rollback, but we needed more information and waited for a potential announcement from the devs.

Due to the latest patch almost everyone lost all their items they stored in their boxes.
We loaded up a backupfile to restore it back to normal.

You might experience a 30 min rollback but all your items should be back!

Any new development on this front ? Random crashes are happening on half an hour basis now.

We are aware of the problem causing some servers to crash and are working on a fix. We hope to have it patched as quickly as possible.

Hopfully the servercrashing will be fixed soon :/

We are changing the claim radius on the server from 1.0 to 0.5

The reason we do this is to get rid of some of the NPC/camp blockings.
We also hope this will fix the random server crashes we have had the last few days.

Changing this also means you can think in a different way in raiding, you will be able to build closer to other players bases.

All gone and done

CONAN EXILES ‏@ConanExiles 
The high jump and explosives exploits are our top priority fixes. They're being worked on today and we hope to have them fixed this week.

Look out for this patch in the next couple of days:
 

• Fixes to loading screens
• Server Performance Fixes
• NPCs should be less jittery when rotating
• A fix for connecting to servers via the Steam server browser and when using Steamconnect
• Buildings should now load in much faster
• Placeables placed on foundations and ceiling tiles will now be saved correctly
• Several improvements to how rocks behave when they are harvested

 

• Small Placeables will no longer claim land (!)
• NPC Camps now have their own land claim to prevent people from building so close to them that they stop spawning NPCs (!!)
• You should no longer get phantom duplicates in the wheel of pain
• T2 Altars should no longer disappear
• Surrender should no longer break early when using fists
• Removed invisible collision that was blocking a certain chest in the world
• Arrows will now longer shoot in “Random crazy directions”
• Ranged weapons should now always fire correctly
• Rhinos should no longer try to walk through players
• Palisades will now correctly deal damage on contact
• Palisades should now be easier to place
• Fixed a case where players were able to destroy rocks with their fists. Sorry, but this privilege is reserved only for Conan himself.
• Fixed an issue where interactable objects would spam “Press E to interact” on the GUI
• Added an arrow to many placeables to help players orient them correctly
• The Offering of Mitra recipe now correctly requires 1 human heart and 1 unblemished meat
• Fixed an issue with stair placement detection
• The Gong and the Horn will now be audible over greater distances
• Added new emotes that can be learned by tracking down Story NPCs and getting them to teach you

 

• Some feat requirements have been simplified or removed. For example, it is now possible to learn Journeyman Craftsman as soon as you hit level 10. Due to the impact of this change all players have gotten a free feat respec.
• Ansel will now respect collision preventing people from moving through walls and other structures
• Non Admins will be restricted to 2 meters of movement when using Ansel 
• Balance pass on Bows. Simple Bow range has been increased, Hyrkanian Bow range has been dramatically increased. Crossbow range has been reduced but they now shoot much faster
• We have done an overhaul on what monsters can damage which tier of buildings. If you haven’t upgraded from sandstone you might want to think about doing that.
• Increased crafting XP across the board with greater increases for crafting more complex (higher tier) items
• Inverted Wooden Roof Wedge and Stonebrick Frame now require Journeyman Craftsman instead of Master Craftsman
• Black rocks in the starting desert are now harvestable
• Higher grade tools will now yield higher amounts of secondary resources (Bark/branches)
• Resetting your Knowledge Points will no longer cause you to lose your selected religion
• Removed Corruption sources from starting area caves
• Removed the Regen component from Purified Meat. This perk is reserved to Mitra's Ambrosia and Healing Potions. Purified Meat is still an extremely good food source
• Player corpses can only be harvested for religious purposes once every 30 minutes
• Balance pass on the amount of materials requires for basic chemistry potions
• Armor drops removed from chests
• Emus will now give less XP

 

• The Dogs of the Desert finally got their uniform shipment and will be donning their new outfits
• Visual adjustment to the Medium Tasset to reduce clipping issues
• Visual adjustments to the Setite Choker and Shendyt to reduce clipping issues
• Updated Cutlass and Falcata icons
• Visual flair added to several hairstyles
• Visual improvements to female heads


We hope you're as excited as we are to get these changes live. Thank you again for being with us on the journey that is Early Access!

-The Conan Exiles team

To prevent future lag/problems please post the coordinates of any abandoned structures/buildings you may see.
This would make it easier for us admins to keep the server fresh and clean.

To get your coordinates you press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L
Just copy those and post them here 

And clean up after yourself. Don't leave abandoned structures after you.

Im locking this thread becaues the rule that the poster wanted removed is already changed/removed and the replys is starting to change topic.

HAHAHAHA So you think we got a scrub base ey?

We might live in a luffarhus but we got the skills to kill

There should be a rule against removing stairs. Every time I go to raid someone everyone has their stairs removed, I have acomplished everything on this server and only thing there's left is to raid someone, but I cant because of those stupid stairs. I have nothing left to do on this server and I dont want to leave because It's better than 99% servers out there (talking about performance)

BTW. nobody will abuse that rule because everyone wants to have fun, and not being an abuser asshole, sorry for the slur. 

Yes Shooter we agree with ur arguements. But a rule like this might get abused and can be hard to controll.
You still have to remember that this is an early alpha game and we dont have many admin tools atm.

We want to make sure that we can follow and mantain the rules we have.
Do you have any ideas on how we could stop all the loop holes around a rule like this?

For example, whats written higher up in this post. If someone destroys your stairs while your offline, screenshots it and sends it to the admins telling us ur breaking the rules.
That you removed ur stairs when u logged out to provent urself from getting raided. People could frame you with a rule like this.
There is no way we would know if he was the one destroying the stairs to frame you or if you actually broke a rule.

This is deffenetly something we are looking into atm. We want more sugesstions and feedback regarding this topic.

After listening and talking to our players we have choosen to remove this rule to better fit everyone.
(i just wish more of you would actually come on here and type ur opinion now when we have this great forum where we can discuss stuff like this)

This is a PvP game and a rule like this might actually ruin the gameplay for some of you.

This game is still early alpha and we just have to see what happens in the future.

Ty for all your feedback!

Have in mind tho. If you feel harassed in any way conntact us admins!
