Remember back when Conan Exile’s release made it the newest and hottest kid on the block? We were all so much younger, back in early May. Now we’re older and know better that Funcom’s survival sandbox still needs some work to bring it up to par.
The studio looks like it’s in a “shoring up” phase right now, especially with the release of last week’s PlayStation 4 parity patch. This brought in an AFK kicker, warpaints, thralls that regenerate health, a healing balance pass, and plenty of quality-of-life adjustments. Also, you’re now limited to a 600-meter height limit on structures (“This should not impact players unless they are re-enacting Jack and the Beanstalk,” said Funcom).
Funcom also laid out a distinction between hotfixes and bigger updates, in case you all are new to online gaming. “We are currently doing a lot of smaller hotfixes for crashes and other critical issues either reported by the community or highlighted through internal testing,” the studio said. “In this case, for the hotfixes, our next focus after stability will be server performance and anti-harassment game mechanics.”
Ever wondered how all the amazing armors and clothes in #ConanExiles are made? We sat down with one of our character artists, who almost single-handedly made every single piece of armor in the game, from concept art to finished in-game asset.https://t.co/FjQlfTbT0x

We were absolutely blown away by this seemingly Nordheimer Fort overlooking Freya's Hovel. It's an incredible build that looks like a small viking village, complete with separate lodgings for crafting thralls and a great hall for the village chieftain.https://t.co/j5HnaQwxSl
