In a new newsletter to the community, the developers of Conan Exiles introduced new content. You can look forward to an even prettier Conan Exiles with new content.
New content is coming: The upcoming updates for Conan Exiles will bring changes to the combat system and some improvements to game quality. Additionally, the developers are adjusting the frequency of patches.
Conan Exiles will look even cooler soon
New and bloodier combos: With the active combat system in Conan Exiles, you have the option to use many different weapons and weapon combinations. Each weapon has a unique fighting style.
Combining light and heavy attacks triggers combos that inflict harmful effects like bleeding on opponents. With an upcoming update, you will soon have even more options to unleash cool combos.
Specifically, new combos for sword and shield, mace and shield, and dual hand axes are known, with which you can literally dismantle your opponents soon. In the official Conan Exiles newsletter, you can find a preview.
In the recording of a one-hour live stream, you can also see the new combos in action.
Easier navigation with map coordinates: Another change brings a useful “quality of life” feature to the map of Conan Exiles. It will soon have coordinates and a grid. Also, the zoom will be increased in both directions.
This will help you find your way better and coordinate with friends on where to meet. The map update will be released alongside the pets on the live servers. An exact date has not yet been given.
You will get animal companions: The pet system has been known for some time and is even playable on the test live server of Conan Exiles.
In an upcoming and presumably soon patch, you will have the option to find and hatch eggs or catch baby animals. You can then raise the young animals. With the right food, you can breed strong companions for battle from the animals.
Along with the pets comes the new religion of Jhebbal Sag and the new dungeon Midnight Grove. First gameplay will be shown this Friday at 5 PM on the Mixer channel and on the Twitch channel of Funcom.
More for the Community
Experience bonus on PvP servers: Starting Friday, September 14, 2018, you can look forward to more experience as a PvP player. For one month, you will receive four times the amount of experience on all PvP servers.
This change is meant to help newcomers get better into the game and find their way, without being immediately destroyed by experienced players. The event applies only to PvP servers. PvE and PvE-conflict servers will not receive additional experience.
More regular patches: The development team has listened to player feedback and decided to adjust the patch policy a bit. A larger patch should come every 4-6 weeks, with hotfixes in between if necessary.
This way, there will be enough time for testing so that the patches are as complete and stable as possible, without players having to wait too long. The patches should ideally come simultaneously for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
For the test live server, updates will continue to come more frequently to better find and fix errors and bugs.
