Age of War PvP | First Impressions - Conan Exiles 

I haven't had a chance to PvP since Day 1 of the Age of War. How's the PvP world doing? How are you guys liking the new changes?

I think I found a Monty Python Easter egg. On a cliff by noon river I found 5 bunny rabbits eating a dead body.

Thx! Have been waiting for a video like this. I’ve just had two brief PvP encounters with other players since the update and haven’t really gotten any good impression of what the consequences of the changes actually are. This helped:-)

Thanks for the content, I agree with the hesitancy about free rolling, but I'm interested to see how the meta evolves.

I'm liking the changes so far. Even running full corruption with 90 stam it's pretty nice. I have been spending the past few months working on stam management though

just nice work, ty !

soo cool! I just bought the game yesterday and I been having tons of fun! i've seen your leveling guide w black crystals but i've decided to take my time and enjoy the journey. I will be keeping up w your vids to see what happens next in the series, Good luck bro! ❤

I'm ps5 and had time to practice some PvP, arena 1v1 and official raids defence clan vs clans. This is only my opinion, 2H axes are still really really strong. Bow kids become a real nightmare, if you dont play last stand you just die in 3-4 shots. With rolling thrust you have infinite stamina. There are a lot of good points I must admit, I like the fact that legendary weapons are better than craftable again, I love the fact that memory bestial potion is a default recipe and easy craft, I like being able to clean every unnamed city bosses in 10 min, I like that goomba is deleted, for the other PvE aspect I dont really care. For me, they should move some perks in the attributs, maybe rethinking some. They should reduce the stamina regeneration that cause the infinite stamina, bring back the grey stamina malus if you have a bad stamina management, and to dont make it too hard, reduce a bit the cost in stamina for attacks, not same as before but find a way between before and now. For me what's making a better PvP player is his stamina management, and game knowledge + game cense, they completely deleted that...

The sprint attack issues you had are probably part of the new change to combat. They implemented a thing where weapons can cancel attack animation if they arrive first when two people are attacking near simultaneously. Weight of the weapon is a factor for cancelling out your target's attack animation if your attack reaches first. Range on the spear seems to play well with that change from what I witnessed during your fights.

I found the lion king easter egg. New to the game but to see pride rock was cool

Honestly I really like running kurak pants spider climb boots dragon hide chest and silent legion light hands with bearer pack

I'm not an expert, but your dagger fight seemed very well balanced.

The heavy stuff some of these guys carried with them. Stamina +7... If you re looking for a Heavy strength armor to try out this is the best set as far im aware (No Siptah stuff): - Helmet: Redeemed Legion - Chest: Voidforged Dragon (Gives more Strength % than Champion) - Arms: Godbreaker (Cheaper but less armor would be Pictish/Guardian) - Legs: Champion Leggings (Cheaper alternative same as above) - Feet: Pictish/Guardian Without the DLCs youd have to take hyperborean slaver parts for feet and both leg and arms alternatives. It has lass armor than the DLC parts thats why its not among best in slot.

@zeloskes 12:38 how was she abble to reach that damage and pen with a Dagger? I'm still new in the game, never seen a dagger with status that high, can you enlighten me?

Great video, i want to say a few things about this update and the game mechanics. The changes are only minor changes but they do fix some of the issues. It was not what i was hoping for personally. I was hoping for what we got and more. Changing the combat so attacking does not stop movement and preventing animation canceling. The combat still looks like absolute desync hell combined with chaotic movement because of instant animation canceling. This still looks broken to me, i was hoping they would make something new and fun to try. This looks like a failed update to me.

i think your neighbour got ganked alot by daggers ^^ he know pretty well how to dodge that

lemurian trident or lemurian pike?

I now run longer then my horse, feel like call of duty with the gummy c-4,it's obvious that they made it for a certain type of player who probably isn't old enough to play, I don't like to roll it's not a real fight, we should be able to block with all the weapons little or well depending on the weapon, a bit like dark souls, orb of nergal could fix the stamina problem in exchange of forces by choosing your shape, more ninja or more Hulk, that could be an idea,

Recently got back into conan and been following your videos. Had a question do you own pc version or is this console version I brought conan when it first came out on xbox years ago but play it on my pc wonderd if there's a difference between the to

They were really close to having the best combat in Conan ever. But the 0.1 stamina regen kick-in plus the regen speed itself just breaks the combat utterly.

I've heard that maxing grit/vit/expertise with full heavy armor is the new meta build now, and that strength/agility aren't needed anymore due to the attribute bonuses on gear being replaced by direct bonuses to what the attributes govern (2h damage, 1h damage, thrall damage, etc). There any truth to that, or do strength and agility still have a place in the meta?

What we need is a new map

Hit that like button ! :)

What PC are you using yo play Conan Exiles, please. ❤❤❤

So nice to have infinite roll back again 😢

also 1v1 is not super likely. Either the opponents outnumber you, 1v2, 1v3, 1v4, etc, or you're in a pitched melee and it's team fighting. That is how it should have been tested.

try the katana a bit with the changes

combat looks a bit more like old vanilla with animation cancelling ^^ not sure if i like the changes to perma rolls.. takes abit of skill away i feel from a very deep stamina system before ... helps the farmers out there while getting ganked i guess

Had to wait 4 hours for a blood pick 😢

I'm getting the feeling that there will be more dukeing it out and whoever has the highest dmg will win mmmm

U know I should just learn it but I do hate fighting people that pike and roll Even though it’s meta, I wish you had a limited # of rolls and it had to recharge. I know that may sound crazy

How are yall zoomed out?

I don’t understand your build, I’m having tons of fun destroying alpha teams with experimental builds. The new stygian commander set is extremely OP otherwise I rock kurak leggings, spider climb boots, gloves of jhil, cannibal headress and chest +16% str; I get about 280-300+ stam with drunk stam buff, and extra 30% str with buffs; rocking a hanumans gada you deal 302 damage base and with rolling thrust it’s plus 35% AP which is basically broken atm because it has 57% AP already so 302 damage at 92% AP with rolling thrust

I don't know about heavy armor as a meta but medium should be much better than light

the meta armor wasnt even the meta in age of sorcery except the chest because of khari overseer and kurak armoir pieces + age of war meta shifted more to heavy armor as long the stamina is fcked up like that :/ champion boots gives immunity to cripple btw

you use strength buffs with an agility weapon lol 6:50

With your great axe in pvp i dont think youd notice much.. against a boss or npc you migjht notice you cant do as many combo moves

I think this will end up being the best update we have had thus far in th game. Once the people that cant handle change gets over it that is lol

So what i get from this is daggers are no longer viable, in PvE and light armor builds are pointless... cool now I just won't update my game. Now all anyone has to do against someone with daggers in PvP is being they're Thrall and even if the person using daggers has one aswell you will win 150% gaurnteed

This video wants me to duel you... But with thralls and shit. Duels meh organic pvp fight ? Totally different

But thats lombic all real pvp is x vs 1 or others hunting or kill sleeping player etc

This game is still around and people play it? I'm very surprised by this. Glad the remaining 2 people get to play new stuff. That is some janky ass animations.

It ruined spear combat

This video made me not want to play it. Combat doesn't even look fun... attack roll run attack roll run... where's the mayhem

God the combat in this game sucks ass lmao

Yeah, the spear definitely cancels attacks it shouldn't in Age of War. It's so jarring, it has to be a bug.
