Funcom says it’s “weighing its options” following a series of rampant duping and apparent character hacking exploits in Conan Exiles.
Players on Reddit have begun recording the exploits and demanding full wipes of the early access survival sandbox.
“Just killed a player who had several True Names on him, then used one to wipe a vault that was full of them + another vault with thousands – literally thousands – of T3 materials and building pieces,” writes one player. “As gamebreaking events go, this is pretty much as bad as it gets short of all character data becoming irrevocably corrupted. If you’re not going to wipe after 2-3 days of rampant duping (which has apparently been going on since launch, in some cases) then what DO you wipe for? These servers are completely destroyed now. You’re going to lose more people by refusing to wipe than you will by ripping the band-aid off. Please do the right thing, Funcom.”
Funcom has responded to the community by saying it’s still working out what to do:
We're 100% aware of your concerns about recent events. We wanted to let you know we're still weighing our options on how to best proceed.
