Just wanna say, you are the reason I play conan exiles. I appreciate your uploads as they are very relaxing and entertaining to watch and bring me great joy to see.
I know this isnt super recent, but ill add to this that as a solo, even with the meta being based on rolling thrust, whenever im actively raiding and not just fighting, Ive used double jump innumerable times to win fights and raids because I could get places others couldnt. It is a massive amount of utility and the number of people who dont build with double jump in mind, even on official PVP servers is amusingly staggering. Ive had so many easy raids because I can get to weak points others cant. While its not a straight power increase, it helps in a lot of others ways that are a bit more intangible.
I mainly play PvE, but do a speed run in PvP servers once per chapter. I like the stamina delay and the removal of the free attack from rolling thrust, also bringing back the old attack where you face is godsent, I have no idea what stupidity possessed the team to remove it. On builds, I always play with grit 20 for steel thewed, so I don't need to rely on armour for protection, only buffs. Finally, so the sacred hunt, I went as far as you, the only issue I had was how long the fights lasted and that the final boss had a very large area of effect, I could only get two attacks when he did his charge, if I narrowly missed the hit rarely three attacks with the impaler, not enough to stack a gouging. The mammoth for me did a charge at got stuck in a rock with its butt sticking out, so I kept impaling without it being able to move :D The other two bosses were to easy, but the amount of hits they needed to die, made not want to try any of the boss fights again. It is also weird that the event was removed in less than two weeks. Oh! and the new inventory management is inferior to the old (removed precise split initially, then put it back in a buggy way with the quickfix, sorting changing custom order is very stupid, and the new categories are quite useless, while the quick sort when having a repairable item selected has the same hotkey with repair). The thrall management changes, should the bugs be fixed have potential. Again, mostly PvE perspective. For PvP that I will commit to in June, I am thinking 20 grit (steel thewed), 20 vitality (glutton) and either 20 strength or agility, depending on the legendaries I get, before finishing the game.
Sorry about you having to switch servers mid-series due to hackers. Unfortunately, in this game, you can't throw a sick on Official without hitting a nest of hackers anymore. You should give Private Servers a try. There's a LOT more PvP, almost no hackers, and you get to play Conan the way it was meant to be played. You'd be amazed how much this game changes when there's actual admins who care about their server in charge.
As always, lovely to see another upload @Zelosykes. Thank you, it was as always very interesting to watch. Keep them coming please :D P.S I was expecting some cool new boss to fight but nah, its old models and textures.... Never anything new Also about the double jump, its darn useful only if its no longer bugged. The double jump perk had been broken since .... forever... It makes you not being able to jump or climb at times. If its fixed by now; sure its useful. If its not fixed; dont use it.
Nice! I use double jump now, but I don’t really see any value. I get to defensive, constantly trying to heal up. I’ll try the grit-thing you suggested. I think that would fit my play style better. And, yes.. it’s hard to stop rolling into an attack! Anyways, I really like to see the end of the “age of rolling”.
Exactly, double jump does make you think too defensively. It's only fun for doing parkour while scouting. Let me know how the the grit build works out for you.
Haha I’ve played through the worst dagger spamming era (pre-Age of War), it’s still not as bad as back then. Not sure what the new meta is now though, last time I played Conan was April 2nd.
@@Zelosykes it's awful lol. It's so frustrating it's almost game breaking for me. I can only imagine how infuriating the bug must be for the pvp side of the house.
Yeah, Conan has been a mess lately, that’s why I haven’t been playing it. Been playing DayZ instead. So many good games out right now. V Rising officially released today as well. And Soul Mask coming out next month too.
Most important tip is to practice fighting as much as possible. Being able to defend yourself against anyone will make a huge difference in your PvP journey. 1v1 sparring sessions with a friend or random players on a server was my main way of practice. I would practice for hours and hours just trying to improve my PvP. Once you start winning most of your fights, you’ll know the training is paying off. It’ll take some time, but just gotta keep training. Hope that helps!
Also, learn to fight without using q-lock. It’s more difficult, but more rewarding in the end cause you know you’re the one winning the fights, not the auto aim.
I used the cheap fiber armor to get up to the temple, it’s good enough to keep you warm, just pop some cheap aloe potions when you start losing health. Once you’re at the temple, I didn’t have any temperature issues fighting the mammoth naked.
Not really on the topic, but usually build my most important base at the ‘cold spot’ just north of stargazer ridge (down in the valley). I avoid raids by anyone not equipped for the cold. I use an “exploit” to be able to build there before I have the access to high end armour myself. One of the previous battle pass had as its first reward the barkeepers armour, that you can craft without an armorers bench. It has a high cold insulation value. Always available, provided you have som leather.
Hi buddy, why do you not play on private servers? You are a PvP player, why waste your time on official servers? Come to the Darfari/Crom server where there are many hardcore PvP players.
I will rather live with the cheaters on official than the admins on many (not all!) private servers. Not because they are explicitly unfair. Mostly because most of them are very protective of their long time “patrons” and sometimes seems to make up rules as they go. It’s. My main problem is that it usually is a very static environment. Official are on the other hand very consistent. I have som exemptions though when it comes to private server. Servers with admins that are dedicated to a specific concept are often the best. I used to play on a server that had regular wipes and a low respawn level of resources. That made for very interesting play-troughs. You had to put in some serious effort to get ahead at the beginning of the wipe and you had to do what you could to make good use of the resources you had gathered to try to dominate the server - or at least to survive until the next wipe.
@@Zelosykes I love Rust, although cheaters are a big problem there as well. It really is what keeps me away from Conan, also it seems raiding is staked against raiders with how easy it is to repair and the short raid window.
Haha, I restarted on 3 different servers for this series. This series has been rough to record. On the bright side, I finally found another PvP survival game that I’m enjoying. First episode coming next Sunday!
