I believe this is the eventual endgame goal, things best in life…
Couple of things for the players on the Qt3 server…
First, ran into a new fella this morning. “Glancing Cobra”. Just randomly picked our server. He’s just starting out and appreciated the care package I brought him. Y’all give him a shout if you see him.
Second, I’m attempting a fairly ambitious project near where (one of?) the main base for Hellrazors is. You can see it on a high plateau across the gully to the south. It’s taking the shape of a ziggurat or a mayan type pyramid. I mean no harm and come in peace. :-) I built it there mostly because I’m an attention whore who likes showing off.
Hotfix 16.03.2017 just got pushed out.
Bugs and Fixes
- EXPLOIT FIX: No longer possible to duplicate inventories from player bodies
- EXPLOIT FIX: Players can no longer extend Avatar lifetime by sacrificing themselves
- Admins can now properly delete buildings
- Fixed a server performance issue when generating pathfinding
- Message of the day should now save correctly in the ServerSettings window
Glancing Cobra first made his/her appearance a couple of nights ago after the big patch and after his previous server had been wiped. I mentioned that for the time being at least, the server is only technically PVP and that we’re a peaceful bunch.
When I noticed your project last night, situated about fifty feet from our main gate, I initially assumed someone was getting ready to stage a siege. :D
Server patched, have fun. Sorry that I haven’t been on, moving from Boston to Seattle so been very busy.
Welcome to an awesome city!!!
Feel free anyone to explore my little pyramid. There are no thralls. I’m pretty pleased with it and I learned some things which will lead to better efficiency the next time around.
It would be fun to create a functional ‘city’ with separate and distinct buildings and vanity projects in a large flat-land area. I’m looking to expand this into an Aztec or Mayan type of compound with different pyramids devoted to different gods, etc. :-)
Second pyramid going up; it’s going to be a bit more ambitious.
Update 22 is out: Includes dye system, ruins system, new weapons
Best part of the TLDR: New decay system (called “ruins” and disabled by default on private servers), new dye system (firebowl recipes), new weapons, existing weapons rebalanced (to “scale with level”), server wipes (official only, so not Qt3)
[details=Lots of detail here]> Announcing the Exploit Hunters!
We’re still in the early days of our Early Access adventure and there is a lot work left to be done before final release of Conan Exiles in Q1 2018. The feedback we receive from you, the community, is invaluable to us in making sure we improve gameplay, squish bugs, and solve issues ahead of that final release.
One of the most important things we can do to make sure Conan Exiles provides a fair and balanced playing field is making sure we eliminate exploits as early as possible.
To help us with that we will soon be introducing the Exploit Hunters program. Here we will be rewarding players who provide us with information about the most serious exploits. With your help, we will be better equipped to handle potential future exploits which can destabilize servers and avoid the need for server wipes after serious cheating by catching them early.
We will be providing more information and details on the Exploit Hunters program next week.
Server Wipes
- We are wiping all buildings on official non-blitz servers due to recent exploits (private servers are unaffected by this)
- We are wiping all inventories (player backpack, containers etc) due to recent exploits (private servers unaffected by this)
- We are keeping player character levels (but you get a free re-spec) due to feat changes discussed in TLDR below. Please give us feedback on these changes.
- Server admins on private servers may perform a building and inventory wipe which keeps character levels by using the ServerCleanup.bat file in the gamedb folder to clean the current game database

- Due to packaging the install files into .pak archives there is a 15-20 min wait once the client is downloaded before you can launch the game as the files unpack. This will only be the case for this patch.
- When removing buildings that have become abandoned, in rare cases it is not possible to build on the same spot. If you leave and rejoin the server it should be possible to build again.
- On local play if you use dyes on an equipped armor piece you must re-equip it before the color change becomes visible[/details]
We’re still fairly active on the Qt3 server and need more players to keep things interesting. As mentioned already in this thread, we’re all a pretty laid back bunch – pub players included – and it would be great to see some more people jump in.
Looks good, definitely on tonight to check out the weapons and stuff.
Thanks bar.
Hey does anyone else other than Galadin have administrative control over the server? I’ve had an issue ever since I created a clan and invited a member where the thralls I placed before I started the clan are now hostile to me. My first thought is that a restart of the server would fix it but I think there has been a server restart since and it’s still an issue. So I’m wondering if there is a way administratively to fix this condition. Alternately does anyone think that if I kick the member from the clan, then dissolve the clan and subsequently recreate the clan again that it will work out better? Or must I kill them all.
I should just let Galadin respond, but I’m not sure if there’s a admin console command for resetting ownership, Mr_PeaCH, sorry. :(
More info about the dye system and weapon balances
Update #22 Highlights:
The server has been patched. Also, the admin server doesn’t have anything about transferring ownership or any clan settings. All I can do is change the maximum size of a clan. The admin controls are focused on tweaking settings, and now I can see players and kick/ban.
Thanks Galadin
So can I take it that by being patched the server has been restarted? And if I’m still SOL then I need to annihilate the rest of my thralls and start from scratch?
The server has been restarted multiple times since you requested. I try to do a backup when I see noone is online and restart. I can’t see anything in the admin panel that I could use to transfer ownership, so not sure what to do about that.
Yeah, i figured as much (restarts). Oh well; thanks for everything you do. This was a stupid glitch with no answer apparently. Boo.
I’ll be on this evening and would be happy to assist in any way I can, Mr. P.
Uh oh, trying just now (5pm PT) and says server ‘invalid’. Was there a further hot fix or something after the big update?
Yep, just now, sorta: http://steamcommunity.com/games/440900/announcements/detail/568983756006687341
Edit: Hotfix applied, server restarting, should be up soon.
Aaaand we have another hotfix. Probably won’t apply the patch before this evening, because someone (don’t know who) is currently logged in and I don’t have a way of warning them outside of this thread.
A hotfix has been released! Please restart your games and update your servers.
- EXPLOIT FIX: Corpse looting now works as intended
- Thralls no longer play sounds when invisible.
- Reduced range of blacksmith sound effect.
- Some performance improvements when placing buildings within cliffs
- Fixed a problem with buildings not being placeable in water volumes
Known Issue
- Placing buildings inside cliffs still cause performance issues in some scenarios. We are working on further optimizations.
That was me sorry, out for now.
Have at it.
