Dear exiles,As you know, we're working on adding mounts to Conan Exiles. You may also know that we're adding mounted combat, so you can crush your enemies and drive them before you using weapons from horseback. What you may not know is that we're also adding a leveling system for Pets and Thralls (collectively called Followers going forward). Please note, this is only for Thralls and Pets you can place out in the world and have follow you, not crafting thralls.The upcoming leveling system allows you to to level your followers through combat in the same fashion that you do as a player. Leveling a Follower grants them stat-points that are automatically distributed through a weighted system (see below), and these stats grant various bonuses such as improved health, improved damage, and so forth. How does it work?
StatsStats for Followers are based on what you might expect in Conan Exiles: They use the same stats as a player; Strength and Accuracy improve melee and ranged damage; Vitality... Read more

Greetings Exiles!We’re releasing a new patch with fixes to many of the performance issues introduced in the latest patch. These should solve many of the low FPS and abnormally long load times you’ve been sending us feedback about.
We have also bulked up in cough syrup and distributed it to thralls and player characters to stop the pneumonia outbreak when they were idling, as well as fine-tuned the running stop animation.
Many of the issues regarding altered item stats (such as different temperature protections) should also be tackled in this patch, along with some other bugfixes.Thank you for your continued support and for your invaluable feedback.Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.Currently Known Issues

• We’re aware of an issue with missing SFX for NPCs and player characters, particularly during combat situations. We’re working on that and it’ll...

If you attended this year’s TwitchCon, you may recognize this goofy group! From left to right we have Andy, Nicole, Natascha, and Eirik who manned the Funcom Twitch booth through the weekend.Let us start off by saying it was an absolute pleasure meeting everyone who stopped by to check out Conan Exiles or see what’s new. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and happy to talk with us.
We had a very large amount of people who came to the booth that were Conan Exile fans! It was such a pleasure to speak with them and talk about what they do in game or things they’d like to see for the future. Many of them were from private RP servers, so hearing about their characters and backstories was absolutely amazing. In particular many players from the Hyborian Age RP server showed up!
We also were able to meet up and chat with a lot of great and notable streamers of Conan Exiles. Here are just a few. You can click their name to be taken to their Twitch channel!SvalaGaming[www.twitch.tv]

Battle Standards is a new type of placeable that we think a lot of you are going to appreciate. Since Early Access we’ve had players ask us for ways to establish specific areas as PvP zones, specifically so they can set up arenas for dueling and gladiatorial combat on servers not specifically dedicated to PvP.Battle Standards will do exactly that. The Placeable The Battle Standard is a tall, placeable flag with two crossed swords on the front. It’s intention is to establish a PvP “Zone” in an area around it. The intended functionality is to allow players to first build an arena structure and then establish the PvP Zone with the cunning use of a flag.We’ve implemented several additional special functions and rules to the battle standard in order to prevent griefing and exploiting:

• Once crafted and placed, it can’t take damage
• Once placed it will prevent placing down other structures inside the PvP area (so make sure you’ve finished your arena before plonking down the flag)
• The Battle Stand...

Hey everybody!Hope you all had a wonderful time this summer and enjoyed the break with your close ones.
We announced back in July that our official timers would increase to 2 weeks so you could enjoy your summer away from the Exiled lands. As August fades away, we’ll be reverting those timers to the standard 7 days on all official servers, all platforms. That also includes PS4 which had 14 day timers since it was featured in PS+ to help with the huge influx of new players. When, you’ll ask? On September 6th! (that is, a week from the time of this post).But this isn’t the only big thing happening next week, as we’re going to launch our next patch, including our new DLC pack “Blood and Sand” on September 3rd!If you’re curious about what this patch will include, you can watch our previous devstream or read the Testlive patch notes to get an idea of most of the stuff included, with new changes and fixes packed in that we’ve been working on for the past week. And if you want to get an idea o... Read more

Did you miss today's stream? Fear not, intrepid Exile! You can catch the VOD over on YouTube and get the rundown on what's coming in Update 37!https://youtu.be/FVrKtJXzfgg If an hour long YouTube video isn't your thing, here's a quick recap:
- Battle Standards will let you enable PvP zones on non-PvP servers, so you can now wage private duels against friends and frenemies alike. You won't lose your inventory if you're killed within the area of effect of a Battle Standard!- We're introducing two new weapons: Two-Handed Great Axes, which are great for crowd control, and Short Swords, which are quick and accurate.- Attack animations for Longswords, Great swords and Pikes have been changed for certain combo attacks. Jump to [time] in the video for more details.- We're expanding your options for modifying weapon attributes with new Weapon Oils and better mod kits. Weapon oils will give your weapons and tools a huge boost, but will severely hamper durability. Read more

Hey everybody,We’re aware of a current issue that some players are using to obtain and store avatar tokens in unintended ways. This is being abused by a few players and clans to create unfair situations in some official servers. Our team is aware of these methods and are working on a fix thanks to the collaboration of our community. However, we do not have any estimate times regarding the launch of this fix.After discussing it internally over the past few days and examining the situation many of you have reported, we’ve decided that the best way to proceed until this issue is patched live is to disable Avatar summoning on all official servers in effect immediately.We’ve also been increasing our security measures to make sure players who have been negatively impacting the game via exploits, cheats and other methods cannot keep circumventing any sanctions applied to their accounts on PC.We apologize for any frustrations this might cause and we truly appreciate your feedback and patience....

Dear exiles!It's time for a quick hotfix to take care of some issues that popped up after the most recent patch[forums.funcom.com]. This patch includes fixes for poison on daggers, acid arrows, and a Grit perk fix.

• Acid arrows now cost more to craft and instead of doing 10 damage to durability per tick, they do 1 damage per tick.
  
• Dagger weapons now apply 2 poison stacks per hit instead of 3.
  
• Specter Coating can no longer apply negative effects on players and the weight of it has been reduced by half

• Changed how bandages work - It is now possible to remove bleeds instantly using Bandages. Doing so will put a small cripple effect on you instead. Bandages can now also be used while in combat.

• Acid arrows no longer do damage outside PvP Raid-time
  
• Fixed an issue where the Fluid Swings Perk (40 Grit) was always in effect
  
• The Jhebbal Sag potion again grants +8 Accuracy
  
• The icons for the building competition paintings have found their way back into the game
