In Conan Exiles, a gigantic dupe exploit ruined the game balance. Therefore, a server wipe will erase the wrongfully acquired items and resources. However, the wipe will be less brutal than initially feared.
Last week, a major dupe exploit in Conan Exiles made headlines. Due to a bug, players on the official servers duplicated thousands and thousands of materials effortlessly, completely ruining the game balance. It seemed certain: Honest players would never be able to catch up with the “dupers” with this gigantic lead. Funcom has since fixed the exploit, but the damage remains. So what to do?
Server rollback to an earlier point or wipe everything and kill every progress?
Conan Exiles: Everything will be wiped except for the players!
Meanwhile, the developers at Funcom have made a decision. There will be a server wipe across all official realms. But don’t worry! Your barbarians themselves are safe. Only all your possessions, your houses, and resources will go into oblivion.
This means you start Conan Exiles anew just as every barbarian begins their life in the wasteland. Naked and broke. Only the cross should be spared this time. Since your character progress remains, you should at least quickly have an acceptable barbarian dwelling again.
The server wipe is expected to come with the next patch later this week. The update will also include a rebalancing of weapons.
What do you think of Funcom’s approach to the dupe exploit? Would you have preferred a complete wipe or rather a rollback? Or do you find the solution of wiping only the items and not the characters to be the most sensible decision? Let us know in the comments!
