In the MMO shooter Destiny, today, on February 8th, the weapons day is celebrated. These orders are brought by Banshee-44.
Today is “weapons day” in two ways. Already in the morning, the gunsmith Banshee-44 begins his weekly weapons day: He brings your forging orders from last week, takes new orders, and, as always, has test weapons, telemetry, syntheses, weapon parts, and armor materials.
This evening, it will once again be about weapons: Bungie is holding a livestream with sandbox designers who will talk extensively about the upcoming balance patch. We will follow this stream live and deliver the information quickly in German.
These weapons are available for testing
If you want to rise in Bungie’s reputation, you need to execute its test weapons in practice.
A Häkke auto rifle has its sights set on the Cabal.
A Suros auto rifle aims for the Crucible.
An Omolon hand cannon wants to land precision shots.
A Häkke pulse rifle also wants to enter the Crucible.
A Häkke pulse rifle aims very precisely and demands precision shots.
These 5 weapons can be ordered this week
For 2500 Glimmer, you can choose forging orders:
First up is the Häkke auto rifle Arminius-D. A fast-firing weapon with impact 2. It is among the better auto rifles.
No desire for strangers? In Overwatch , you will soon be able to earn XP in private matches! Also: Server browsers are coming, “Capture the Flag” remains as a mode.
Overwatch has released another “Developer Update,” in which Jeff Kaplan talks about upcoming new features of the hero shooter. One point that has been long requested by the community is the introduction of a server browser. That’s exactly what is happening in the upcoming patch, as Kaplan explains in the latest video:

Those who want can create their own games with the release of the next patch and have these listed in the “server browser.” There are also numerous filter functions that allow you to narrow down the selection. Should only friends be able to join the game? Do you want to only search for control point maps?
A lot of fine-tuning will soon be possible. If desired, individual heroes can be completely removed from cooldowns, allowing Widowmaker – like Spiderman – to use her grappling hook permanently. A “boss fight” is also possible, where a Roadhog has three times the health points and faces off against 6 other players with half health points.
Roadhog as a cool boss opponent? Soon possible with the settings.
However, the feature is still in an early form. In the coming months, it is expected to be further developed, depending on community feedback – ultimately, the number of customization options should be “virtually endless.”
Experience points also in the “Custom Game” mode
For many games, it’s a taboo: as soon as players are able to determine the factors for a match themselves – such as setting both teams and match duration – there is no progress in currency or resources. Such matches are merely “for fun,” so they can’t be exploited for quick leveling. However, Overwatch takes a different approach and allows exactly that: experience points in private matches.
You can also earn loot boxes in private matches soon – fun and rewards for everyone!
The exact details are still to be awaited. However, it can be assumed that there will be significantly fewer experience points than in Quick Play or a Ranked match. Blizzard will likely want to avoid “mindless afk-farming” in its own interest.
Capture the Flag remains
As expected, the “event” mode Capture the Flag will remain in Overwatch. At the moment, it functions as the event “Capture the Rooster” on three maps. It is supposed to work on 9 other maps.
The mode will be configurable like the others, allowing players to customize it according to their preferences. Hero abilities can be turned on or off. The rules for flag capturing are selectable.
All of this is supposed to come with the next patch. Blizzard has not yet provided a date for it.
Content and patches without pause in World of Warcraft? The developers stick to their goals.
When looking back at the last few years of World of Warcraft, most fans were excited at the launch of each addon but lost interest in the game more and more over the following months. The reason for this was often that there were drought periods in which no new content was being developed, because the developers were already preparing for the next expansion.
With Legion, everything was supposed to be different – and so far it has been. With each addon, the developers have learned a bit more about how to manage their time better and work more effectively on content, ensuring that there are no long breaks.
In an interview with Gamespot, the developers said:
“Our team has grown continuously over the years, and it’s also a matter of just working ‘smartly’. We have learned over more than 12 years how to make WoW – some here have been working on WoW for 15 or 16 years. We’ve learned to work on several patches in parallel and to integrate large patches with smaller patches.”
“It was a major goal for us with Legion [to bring continuous content]: We can only know how it has been so far, but it feels like Patch 7.1 came at a time when players were very happy with it – just like Patch 7.1.5.”
Cortyn says: So far, Blizzard is fulfilling all the major promises made with Legion and is regularly delivering content, which is not least favored by the delays of individual raids. Personally, I am still enjoying the game, and at least the Night Fortress will probably entertain me for a few more weeks before boredom might set in. All that remains is to hope that the plans for Patch 7.2 will also be fulfilled – because summer is still a long way off, and barely any of the “big” features can probably be postponed.
ARK Survival Evolved is the most downloaded game on the PS4 in January, and now even for the second time in a row. ARK PS4 – the combination apparently matches like bacon and eggs.
Sony recently announced its top downloads from the Playstation Store for January 2017. ARK: Survival Evolved reached the top spot on the PS4 in both Europe and North America.
Thus, the dinosaur survival game from Studio WildCard takes the leading position in PS4 downloads for the second consecutive time.
ARK prevails, even against other major new releases
In December, ARK had already shot up to number 1. However, there were no major new releases for the PS4 besides the dinosaur survival game that month. This time, in January, major titles like Capcom’s “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard” were released, and yet ARK was able to prevail again.
Top 10 PS4 Downloads in Europe
Here are the top 10 PS4 downloads in January for the European region. Rocket League and GTA also made it to the podium.
ARK: Survival Evolved
Rocket League
Grand Theft Auto V
Battlefield 1
Mortal Kombat X
FIFA 17
EA Sports UFC 2
Battlefield 4
Star Wars Battlefront
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
The tough survival struggle with dinosaur pets is once again very popular in the Playstation Store and continues to attract new players. One should also be curious about how ARK will fare against emerging competition: Conan Exiles is set to be available for PS4 later this year.
Are you perhaps among the newcomers to ARK? Then check out our ARK Beginner’s Guide.

Overwatch turns Bastion upside down and gives him many new values. But Mercy is also significantly more useful now – at least on the current PTR. Read here the Overwatch PTR patch notes.
A new patch is currently being tested on the Overwatch PTR and it has quite a few changes in store. Especially Mercy and Bastion can look forward to some adjustments that are clearly to be considered buffs.
Bastion – The tank destroyer with more endurance
Several weeks ago, the developers announced massive changes to Bastion, as he is rarely picked in the current meta of the game. He was simply too stationary and too easy to counter – which is supposed to change now.
Configuration: Sentry
Activation time reduced to 1.0 seconds (previously 1.5 seconds)
Bullet spread increased by 50%
The bullet spread is now always at maximum
Magazine size increased from 200 to 300
Headshot multiplier removed
No longer deals critical damage
Configuration: Recon
Bullet spread reduced by 25%
Magazine size increased from 20 to 25
Self-repair
Can now be cast while moving
Now on the secondary fire button (right mouse button)
Is no longer interrupted by damage taken
Has a new resource that is consumed upon use and recharges when not used
Configuration: Tank
No longer grants additional armor
New passive ability: Armored
Bastion takes 35% less damage when Configuration: Tank or Configuration: Sentry is active
Oh dear, Bastion is almost getting a complete overhaul. Our favorite omnic (no offense, Zenyatta) will likely be picked much more often when all these changes go live.
Mercy – Undefeated instead of victim
Resurrection
While Mercy is casting Resurrection, she temporarily becomes invulnerable, just like the resurrected allies
Although it is only a single balance change for Mercy, it should have a significant impact on her playstyle. So far, Resurrection was often used in a way that “throws away one’s own life” to save the team. Now Mercy can also continue to participate in the fight after the resurrection if the allied team acts quickly and strategically.
Apart from these two changes, the new patch also brings several other adjustments to the settings, allowing mouse sensitivity to be adjusted more accurately for various abilities.
You can find the complete patch notes in the original English in our sources.
No specific date for the release of this patch has been announced yet.
What do you think of these changes? Bitterly necessary or is Blizzard tinkering too much with the heroes? Let us know in the comments!
On PC, hair and beard growth have been live since January 30. If everything goes smoothly, the patch will be available on February 14 for PS4 and Xbox One. Then players can also show off their hairdressing skills there.

Fat beats and Murloc slime – the next patch for Heroes of the Storm will have fans’ hearts racing.
The upcoming patch of Heroes of the Storm is expected to go live in the evening hours of February 14th. Currently, players can try it out on the PTR and get a glimpse of the new hero Lúcio, who is transitioning from Overwatch to the Nexus. Additionally, the patch includes a complete overhaul for the little specialist Murky.
In Overwatch, Lúcio is one of the most popular supporters in the game, as he is particularly flexible and can support his team in various ways. In Heroes of the Storm, he will possess similar abilities.
Recommended editorial content

The trait Wall Ride allows Lúcio to slide along objects and obstacles, becoming 20% faster and able to glide through other units.
Soundwave deals damage in a cone-shaped area and pushes enemies back.
Crossfade corresponds to Lúcio’s passive auras from Overwatch. He can switch between “Healing Boost” and “Speed Boost”, which slightly heals nearby allies or accelerates them.
With Amp It Up, the current aura is massively enhanced for 3 seconds – meaning more healing or a speed bonus of up to 45%.
The first heroic ability is Sound Barrier. Lúcio and all nearby allies receive a massive shield that diminishes over 6 seconds.
The second heroic ability Reverse Amp turns Lúcio into a debuffer. For 4 seconds, his auras become negative effects that either harm or slow down opponents – depending on the active Crossfade aura.
The new Murky – Nasty, fun, but also fair
The new patch also brings a massive overhaul. Murky, the little Murloc specialist, is being fundamentally reworked.
Especially Murky’s pufferfish can now be stabilized. Instead of dying from 3 automatic attacks, it now has a fixed amount of health points, but can also be targeted by abilities and towers.
Murky himself has nearly 15% more health points, but now only reemerges from his egg after 8 seconds (previously after 5 seconds).
A lot has also changed with the talents: Murky can now recruit mercenaries much faster and even lay down false eggs to confuse enemies – when the eggs are destroyed, they cast “slime” on their attacker. Players can debuff Murky’s automatic attacks with a stackable debuff that slows enemies by 10% – up to 5 times in a row. Together with the slow effect of slime, selected victims will then only move at a snail’s pace.
Especially at level 20, the talent will bring a lot of joy – it allows Murky to summon the March of the Murlocs endlessly, making a huge area – theoretically – impassable or single-handedly taking down an enemy fortress.
A list of all changes can be found as usual in our sources.
The survival MMO Conan Exiles has already recouped its costs. Additionally, there is information about the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
As Funcom announces in a statement to investors, their survival MMO Conan Exiles has already recouped its costs. They have sold 320,000 units worldwide. The product is now operationally profitable. Conan Exiles launched in Early Access on PC on January 30.
The team will continue to work on Conan Exiles and ensure that all technical flaws are addressed and all player requests are met before moving into full launch on PC.
Development on the Xbox One Game Preview version of Conan Exiles is progressing according to plan. Work on the PlayStation 4 version of Conan Exiles is scheduled for later this year.
Funcom believes they will achieve the long-term goal for Conan Exiles and will be one of the top 10 multiplayer survival games on Steam a year after launch.

Conan Exiles on Xbox One and PS4 – here’s the situation
So far, it is known that Conan Exiles is set to launch on Xbox One in Spring 2017. On the PS4, it seems likely to appear only at the official launch, which could be delayed for up to a year, potentially not occurring until early 2018. There is a statement from Funcom that they want to remain in Early Access with Conan Exiles “no longer than a year”.
It seems Sony has made an exception. Whether this will happen with Funcom and Conan Exiles at a later date is questionable.
Conan Exiles is evidently a hot title right now. On Steam, Funcom reports a peak of over 50,000 concurrent users. If you also want to join the barbaric hordes:
The next update of the MMORPG Albion Online will introduce the expeditions, which are PvE content where you can earn useful rewards.
The open world of Albion Online can be dangerous, and those who arrive new in the land may not yet be prepared to face these challenges. To prepare yourselves and become strong enough to explore the open world, you can complete the expeditions with the upcoming update. For this, you visit the city’s expedition leader and check what missions he has on offer. There will be different types with different tiers. However, you can access the higher tiers only after unlocking them through the destiny board.
Small Adventures in Between
You can undertake expeditions either alone or in a group. Your role will be determined by the equipment you wear. Once you have accepted a mission, you will be teleported to the location and have 60 minutes alone, or 120 minutes in a group, to complete the challenge. In the end, rewards await you such as royal seals, and a portal will teleport you back to the city. With the seals, you can create royal armor, which has a special spell depending on the type of armor.
Undead and More
The first expedition available to you is “The Recruitment of the Dead”. During this mission, you will go to an old cemetery where someone or something is awakening the dead. On the map, you will face hordes of skeletons and undead archers. You will fight your way through the cemetery to the ruins, where you will confront the Cursed Death Lord who is behind all the evil. Besides that, many more missions await you.
The expeditions are intended to be a nice pastime in the MMORPG Albion Online and especially help newcomers gain the necessary strength to explore the open game world through adventures.
Star Trek Online receives new ships! A total of nine versions of the “Multi-Mission-Explorer” ship type, three for each faction, are currently in planning. The special ships are also equipped with special goodies and crew members.
In Star Trek Online, the Federation’s Starfleet often received new ships first. But the developers at Perfect World have a heart for Klingons and Romulans. Therefore, these factions also receive three new ship variants of the “Multi-Mission-Explorer” each.
Star Trek Online – What’s in the new T-6 ships
The new ships are divided into three variants each: “Engineering”, “Science”, and “Tactical”. Each ship type has a special console skill and a unique ship trait. The following list shows what the ships have:
Engineering: These ships are well-suited as tanks, as they can absorb enemy shields and use them themselves. As a special ship trait, this version can distribute a buff to damage resistance,
Science: These ships are good controllers, as they can execute electrical attacks that deal damage and impair the enemy’s mobility. As a trait version, this attack triggers a chain reaction among nearby enemies.
Tactical: The combat version of the Multi-Mission-Explorer has a strong DPS skill, initially dealing smaller amounts of damage and then following up with a big hit. This hit is more powerful the more often the small attacks connect. Additionally, the attack impairs the enemy’s control. As a trait, the ship regularly launches mines that deal significant damage to shields. By the way, our own ship is immune to this.
Also cool: The new ships come with a special Lt. Commander crew slot. You can purchase the ships in the C-Store, either individually, as a faction package with the three versions of one faction, or all at once in a “Super-Bundle”.
If you want to succeed in Conan Exiles in the long run, you need weapons and equipment made of iron. Learn here how to find and farm iron and coal.
When you start a new game in Conan Exiles, you begin as a naked rogue, who has just escaped from the cross. Your starting equipment consists of ragged rags and primitive weapons made from sticks and stones. You can find out how to get there in our Beginners’ Guide to Conan Exiles, but here you will learn how to obtain iron for good equipment.

Iron is an immensely valuable resource in Conan Exiles, as it is the only material from which metal items can be crafted. Additionally, you need iron to produce steel. But where does this cursed stuff lie?
First, you can collect iron when you regularly mine stones. Occasionally, a few chunks of ironstone will drop. This way, you can get some initial experience with iron. However, if you want more iron, you must mine it directly from iron deposits. These can be found high up on the southern plateau.
If you take this path, you will find coal and iron.
You will discover the plateau if you go to the site with the two large statues centrally by the river. From there, head straight north into the mountains and eventually, as indicated on the map, you will find a region with abundant iron and coal deposits. You recognize iron by the dark gray color of the rock. Coal, on the other hand, appears as black chunks. You will need a pickaxe to mine.
Beware of the hyena
When you go looking for iron and coal, you should be very careful. Various wild hyenas and an aggressive rhinoceros will cross your path on the way to the plateau. Especially in the early stages of the game, when you are not strong enough for all these dangers, it is best to go in a team with other players.
Also dangerous: Near the metal deposits, several tribes of wild NPCs reside. They will attack you immediately, so be cautious. However, if you are strong enough, you can also seize the opportunity and capture one or another slave there. In our Slave Guide, you will learn how to do that.
Once you have enough iron and coal, you can melt it in the furnace. Two pieces of ironstone yield one iron bar. You will then need these for various useful metal items. How to make steel from iron, by the way, you can find in our guide at the provided link.
NCSoft has announced or at least narrowed down the release dates for both Master X Master and Lineage Eternal. Both games are set to be released worldwide, including in Europe. Additionally, NCSoft is focusing on mobile.
Master X Master will be a type of MOBA with PvE elements. This is already quite advanced. A launch of Master X Master in the West is planned for the second quarter of 2017.
https://youtu.be/b7hsxaMDfuw
There are still some questions regarding Lineage Eternal
The action MMORPG Lineage Eternal is supposed to enter a second closed beta in South Korea in 2017. After that, an open beta and the official launch are expected.
NCSoft North America is working on a mobile version of Lineage Eternal. They hope that both versions will launch simultaneously.
It is still not clear how it will be here in the West for Lineage Eternal. The question is whether the open beta and release will happen simultaneously worldwide, as was initially planned. The timing for the second closed beta to happen “later in 2017” is also very vague.

Furthermore, NCSoft is also working on three more mobile versions of well-known IPs: Lineage M, Blade & Soul Mobile, and Aion Legions. All three are expected to make a splash in 2017.
Lineage M is delayed by 2 or 3 months, but is still set to be released in 2017, probably first in South Korea.
Blade & Soul Mobile is supposed to be developed for 2017 – unless we hear otherwise
Aion Legions will start a soft launch in North America and Europe in Q2 2017, and will actually release in Q3 – “soft launch” is an open beta
With Lineage Eternal, this would make a quartet of new mobile titles. NCSoft is placing a strong focus on this, as we have known since November 2015. A mobile studio has been specifically established in California. This now seems to be bearing fruit.
In For Honor, you can finish battles with executions. However, these are not for players with a weak heart.
As many fans of melee games would expect, there will also be brutal scenes and splattering blood in For Honor. And plenty of it. Especially during the executions, things get quite intense, ending the fight abruptly.
You can only perform executions on other heroes or elite enemies. The requirement is that you finish the duel with a heavy attack (on the PS4, you press R2 for this, on the Xbox RT). Then you have a short time to press one of the two buttons displayed on the screen, which will activate a special kill animation – the execution.
Brutal Executions in Video – For Honor
IGN has now put together a video showcasing 36 brutal executions. We embed it here for you:

The quarterly figures from Q4 2016 of NCSoft are available. The most important figure is missing. The troubled WildStar is missing.
The autumn/winter quarter of 2016 went well for NCSoft. Especially the oldie Lineage saw a significant increase, as can be seen from the revenue.
Sales figures of Aion, Guild Wars 2 and Blade & Soul are solid in Q4
The three games relevant to us in the West remained relatively stable. Aion was able to gain slightly. Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2 remained at their level with slight losses.
It is noticeable that Blade and Soul is now significantly stronger than Guild Wars 2. A year ago, the titles were still equal. Since the brief upturn from the “Heart of Thorns” expansion, Guild Wars 2 has fallen significantly. Blade and Soul has risen after its release in Europe and North America.
The troubled WildStar no longer appears in the sales figures for the first time since its release. It is now only listed under “Other Sales”. What this means for the future of the F2P title is now speculation. In no case is this a good sign.
After having played the trump cards “Free2Play transition” and “Steam launch,” the developers are currently working on a massive update that is supposed to overhaul the gameplay mechanics in WildStar. They plan to introduce a sort of paragon system and “quality levels” like in Diablo 3. Characters should be able to improve after reaching the maximum level, and the difficulty of certain instances will be adjustable.
You can read here about how Blade and Soul has overtaken the Western Guild Wars 2:
Today, on February 7th, the public test servers for The Division are down. The fourth phase begins.
Let’s go to the next round: Today, the PTS Phase 4 for Update 1.6 and “Last Stand” starts. Before the updates are applied, maintenance will take place:
It starts today, on February 7th, at 16:30. The servers are expected to be down for two hours, so the new PTS build will be available around 18:30.
Which changes are coming is still unknown. If it is the same as the last times, the patch notes will be published later in the afternoon. We will update the article.
Patch Notes PTS 4
Update 17:05: The patch notes have now been published in the Ubi forum. The PTS Phase 4 is supposed to be the final version of these tests.
In addition to numerous bug fixes, the normalization in the “Last Stand” mode is being revised. These areas will receive the maximum possible value:
The higher and lower gear bonuses
Gear mods
Performance mods
Weapon mods
Main stats
Weapon damage
Weapon attributes
Furthermore, the damage of turret installations in Last Stand will be increased by 40%, but they will sustain 25% less. In addition, the mode will be further adjusted: You will be able to join matches that have already started.
Moreover, the PvP damage multiplier is reduced from 0.46 to 0.42 – in Last Stand and the Dark Zone.
Especially interesting: Submachine guns now come with critical hit chance again. The maximum roll is around 22%.

World of Warcraft rewards players who interact with others. Social aspects are also expected to be a stronger focus in the future.
The colleagues from Gamespot have had the opportunity to conduct an extensive interview with the developers of World of Warcraft in recent days. This mainly focused on patch 7.1.5 and the intentions that the developers pursue with the “small” patches.
The focus of the small patches is to bring gameplay content and improvements that are not directly related to the current story. This is also the reason why features like the Brawlers Guild and timewalking for Pandaria are included in patch 7.1.5. It wouldn’t have been a problem if these features weren’t complete – they could simply have been moved to 7.2 or 7.2.5.
“Instead of having to deliver five things that we want to have in a patch, we can perhaps only bring four if a feature needs more time.” Thus, they can bring completed content to the players more quickly without having to wait for “delayed features.”
According to the developers, it is not important that the 0.5 patches have a lot of content, but rather that they exist at all. This way, they can address the most pressing needs of the community while also bringing smaller features that have been completed in the meantime.
With patch 7.1.5, the main goal has been to make World of Warcraft more social again. Many aspects of the game were oriented towards competition with other players before Legion. Two players of the same faction could “tap away” mobs, allowing only one of them to receive loot and quest progress. With Legion, you should always be pleased to see other players – this is especially evident in the Brawler’s Guild.
More players would mean longer wait times for battles, but also more conveniences. Almost all purchasable buffs from the Brawler’s Guild are improvements for all players, such as a temporary graveyard right next to the battle arena or exciting group fights where all players can join in.
Similar ideas have been implemented with the “Micro-Holidays.” These do not offer large rewards but are intended to revive social interactions between players. During the “Balloon Day,” for example, players line up to experience a tour over the various zones of the world. Each balloon gondola includes an NPC and three players – who are randomly assigned. Occasionally, the NPC speaks and tells a short story, then encourages the players to interact. “Hey, have you heard this joke? Hahaha. Do you know any good jokes too?” – followed by a pause.
Perhaps, the developers hope that this way, people will get to know each other and later become good friends.
You can see the complete interview in the original English in our sources.
Was Kabr found in the Glass Chamber? A Guardian found something strange in the Vex raid.
On Reddit, a Guardian presents his latest discovery in the Glass Chamber. He donned the “Vault of Glass” armor with his Warlock, equipped the raid weapons, and started the Paradox mission. This mission takes place in the Glass Chamber, where a signal is to be investigated.
The Guardian reports that he was not looking for any secrets at all. He just wanted to reminisce a little when suddenly he found a dead Guardian in the Templar’s Source.
He recognized that the Guardian was wearing Kabr’s armor and as he approached the corpse, he was able to revive Kabr. What happened next shocked him, causing him to accidentally leap backwards to his death. However, he managed to record this strange event on video. At least, that’s what he reports. See for yourself:

Kabr in the Paradox mission? No, but a strong fan-made video
Although the Guardian reports his experience very seriously and the video initially looks “real” – of course, it is a fake.
Nevertheless, the Guardians celebrate it – probably because it brings back numerous memories of the hunt for secrets in the Glass Chamber. Some users write that they nearly flipped out when they saw the beginning of the video. They praise the editing and prophesy that this will be the next video of the week. The post on Reddit received thousands of upvotes within a few hours.
By the way: Kabr was a Titan who entered the Glass Chamber first and became obsessed with it. He built armor from the parts of fallen Vex, which, however, attacked his mind. In the end, he created the Aegis from his light, inflicting a wound on the Chamber and eventually enabling the Guardians to defeat Atheon. After his work, his last words were:
“I destroyed myself by doing this. They took my mind. They are in my blood and my brain. But now there is hope. […] Now it is done. If I speak again, I am no longer Kabr.”
Conan Exiles is still in Early Access, and the developers at Funcom are quickly responding to bugs, issues, and player feedback. Read here what the patch notes say about the update on 07.02.2017.
Conan Exiles is not a fully finished version that the developer promotes as a beta. The wild barbarian MMO is far from complete, and the developers are doing their best to fix errors and bugs. Therefore, on February 7, 2016, another patch was released for the Early Access version of Conan Exiles.
Conan Exiles Patch Notes – Bugs Must Die
The patch from February 7 addresses the following bugs and issues:
Potential server crashes due to the chat system have been fixed
Crashes when players left the world have been fixed
Steam connection is postponed until the map is loaded to avoid server timeouts during long loading times.
PhysX now runs multiple times on the server, improving performance
Your thralls now also attack other NPCs
Thralls are correctly handed over when joining clans
An exploit in well construction has been fixed
When you join a server, it will automatically become a favorite, making it easier for you to find again.
In addition to these bug fixes, the developers at Funcom are also working on a bug with the crafting stations that creates phantom versions of crafted items. There is currently no fix for this, but it is at the top of the priority list.
In Conan Exiles, it is also about gaining experience quickly and leveling up. Only in this way can you optimally improve your barbarian and ensure that you are ahead of your fellow players. In our level guide, you will learn how to level up quickly. Here’s how to level up fast in Conan Exiles.
Conan Exiles throws you into a wild and harsh world, and if you don’t quickly gain experience and level up, you will quickly fall behind in the battle for survival. While everything in the game gives you a bit of experience, some methods are more bearable than others.
Read here how to gain experience especially quickly and outshine all other barbarians on the server. Especially on PvP servers, this is vital for survival, so pay close attention!
In line with the release, there is now a new level guide (2018):
First, when creating your character, choose the cannibal patron god Yog. Once you are rescued from the cross, you should take a good look around and definitely(!) take the waterskin with you. Many players overlook it. Once you have water, head north to the river and collect about 30 stones and 50 branches along the way.
Once at the river, collect even more and craft a pickaxe, an axe, and possibly the stone sword.
If you want to start building stones for a first shelter: STOP! Especially on PvP servers, the first shelters are useless because any malicious barbarian kid can mockingly tear down your hut.
So be a nomad for now and move west until you reach the K-12 region on the map. There are a lot of gazelles living there.
Level Guide – Tastes like Chicken! – How to Reach Level 15
Farm some resources in this area and try your hand at hunting gazelles. Try to drive the creatures so they get stuck in the terrain, making it easier for you to take them down.
Once you have enough resources, build a campfire where you can hide your supplies (campfires cannot be looted by other players) and lay out a sleeping mat. This way, you can respawn here upon your death.
Once you are able, construct a “Pit of Yog”. This will get you a bone club with which you can kill other NPCs and harvest their tasty meat. Human flesh does not spoil, provides you food and water, grants experience, and even regeneration! Do this for a while until you have a larger amount of supplies.
Then pack up the essentials and head up to the region around G9. Don’t worry if you have to leave some of your stuff behind. You can always return and resupply.
Once there, you should arrive at an oasis-like area with a cliff path. There are a lot of gazelles that often get stuck in the rocks. So you can farm these creatures particularly easily. Do this for a good hour until you are about level 15. As soon as possible, you should definitely craft the javelin spear, which is a good weapon until you can finally create iron weapons.
Speed-Leveling with Gazelles – To Level 30
Once you reach level 15 or need iron, move on to E7. But be careful not to enter the corrupted region. You should find a lot of iron in the area, but watch out for hyenas.
Build a furnace, a smithy, and possibly other crafting stations and craft your better equipment. With this, you will hack your way through the creatures in the area. Even rhinoceroses should not be much of a problem if you walk around them and hit them in the sides. Do this for four to eight hours.
Then you should have no problems hunting and consuming the NPCs in the city. Do this until you are about level 30.
Level Guide – Steel and Base Building – How to Reach Level 40
Now you should finally think about establishing a permanent residence. Make sure your base can be well defended. Ideal locations for this would be at F7, E7, F8, and E8. Ideally, you should build the base on a cliff so that it can only be accessed with stairs.
If you need to go out for a longer farming trip, simply tear down two stairs and no one can get in. When you want to return, you just rebuild the missing stairs.
Don’t forget to gather sulfur and tar for steel production. How to create steel is explained in our Steel Guide. To further level farm, head northwest to D6 on the map. There, a lot of Stygian roam, whom you can easily take down with your steel weapons.
Harvest meat and don’t forget to farm rhinoceroses. You can find them at E7, E6, and D5. This way, you should be able to reach level 40 without much effort.
