    My three man crew has set up on Wednesday Knights and has started to build. We have a little hunting lodge along the river, near the center of the map. If you see someone running around with the clan DDK, give em a wave before you gank them - I sold them on the PA crowd being super nice dudes, and we had someone slaughter our camp less than an hour in. (don't think it was a PA'er, didn't recognize the clan)

    I haven't seen any PVP happening on the Wednesday Knights servers at all, so the fact that you say there was a slaughter is a bit surprising. So far everyone I've encountered has been super chill.

    Name started with a W, forget exactly what. Workz, maybe? Given that he was in full iron, and we were wearing grass skirts and holding stone axes, it didn't take him too long to come through the camp and whack us all. I was a bit salty with him since we didn't have beds yet and I had forgotten to actually use the bedroll after placing it, but thankfully he didn't camp us, and we were able to finish what we were doing.

    Not as fluent in admining in Conan as I was with ARK so sadly can't help out.

    There did not used to be a decay timer, but there may be now. I know when I last changed some settings many things were not present -yet-.

    Heh - guy that killed my group (Wattz) came on to gripe about our new build. Apparently we walled off some resources he wanted. Shut up fast when my girl let him know we only had so many walls because someone came into our other camp and killed us all.

  • KarozKaroz Registered User regular
    I mean, there aren't any resources that are locked to a certain place--other than The Dregs' boss drops.

    Further north you go the more common coal and iron are.

    Hey Elimination

    I have been trying to log into the server for the last two days, and it is lagging terribly. I have tried other servers with no problem. So it looks like yours needs a reset.

  • KarozKaroz Registered User regular
    I restarted it. More Conan updates need to happen so I can do this more often.

  • FairchildFairchild Rabbit used short words that were easy to understand, like "Hello Pooh, how about Lunch ?" Registered User regular
    I suspect that Funcom has their hands full with LEGENDS and finishing the Conanrim expansion, so I'm not expecting much in the way of updates for at least another month.

    Hrm, the server isn't actually starting back up. @Elimination not sure if you've got some extra magic to get it to work.

    True that Fairchild, I've been having some fun with Legends as well so I can't complain too much.

    Edit: Whoop it's back up now. Not sure if Elim or thinking positive thoughts did the job. :lol:

    How is the archery in this game. Can I get my Subotai on?

  • KarozKaroz Registered User regular
    It seems decent, haven't checked out the high level bows but being a priest of set and crafting lots of poison arrows seems nice.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    Archery right now is effective and it works very well, but it isn't "great."

    Currently, hit detection is a bit weird and there are some infrequent notch and release bugs. Sometimes you'll draw back and arrow and release and nothing will fire. So its kinda wonky.

    But!

    Archery is super powerful. Like... it's borderline OP to be quite honest. I have gone with Set as my personal deity of choice, and being a Set worshiper allows you to craft snake arrows, which are incredibly strong. They are not the highest tier of arrow, but they're incredibly cheap to make and their damage is nothing to scoff at.

    I find archery to be a very beneficial skillset to invest in.

    Hey, bitch about lack of updates and you shall receive!

    Hmm, not sure how I feel about climbing.

    My base was built up and around geographical features under the assumption that they would be an effective barrier, and this leave some areas exposed.

    Yeah, we've already got someone planting single foundations near our base to cut off our nearby resources. Can't wait to see what they do now that they can get in.

    Honestly that doesn't seem like very good behavior. While the pvp things is there for fun it's not meant to allow people to abuse it.

    Not sure how Elimination feels but I'd give one warning before kicking that person off the server.

    It seems to me that climbing will make archer thralls more valuable. If I read the patch notes correctly, any damage will cause you to fall. Put a lot more archers up on your walls and natural barriers, and anyone trying to climb over takes a tumble.

    Which now gives me a thought of building cells into your walls. Thralls ensconced in stone for all time...
    Or maybe just inverted pyramid overhangs?

    Half-width ceiling tiles would be nice, I find building overhangs with the current ones to look ugly.

    I haven't really been on or played lately. Had some other games come out and I've just been taking a break.

    I'm planning on making a full return when the Highlands biome comes out next month.

    Actually... I might get on a little before that just to try to finish up my current base (if it still exists).

    Well I mean we had no damage to player buildings basically to prevent trolling. If people want, we can turn it on and let people/creatures fuck buildings up during certain times of the day or something.

    Just poking in here to gauge interest. I have noticed in the last 2 weeks I am the only person who has logged into the server. Are people just waiting for the new map expansion? Early July saw a lot of players but it's been dead since then. Just want to make sure everyone is still wanting to play this and I am not funding a dead server.

    As always, you can donate toward the server through paypal sending it to [email protected]

    I have only ever received a single donation since starting the server, next server bill is coming on the 15th of Aug.
