Conan Exiles - Public Beta Client News

This is a work in progress build and as such, neither of the changes and implementations found in it are final. Neither is the patchnotes document, which will be updated, corrected and completed over the Testlive period to better reflect the work in progress nature of this build.

Exiles, we hope you are having fun testing the new and exciting features in The Age of Sorcery!

We are rolling out the 3.0.1 update now for you to check and test everything to your heart’s content!

This patch is primarily focused on bug fixing.

[h2]IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS[/h2]

Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.


[h2]Separate TestLive Product on Steam[/h2]
We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants to install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

[h3]WORK IN PROGRESS BUILD AND DOCUMENT[/h3]
This is a work in progress build and as such, neither of the changes and implementations found in it are final. Neither is the patchnotes document, which will be updated, corrected and completed over the Testlive period to better reflect the work in progress nature of this build.

For 3.0 we will not be updating the Testlive branch on the main product due to technical reasons. In order to test 3.0 you will need to use the Conan Exiles Testlive Product.
[hr][/hr]
Exiles of the sorcerous Testlive lands!

The time is here. We’re deploying Update 3.0 on Testlive for you to try out before it goes live on all platforms in the near future. This is the biggest free content update we have ever worked on for the game, and there is a lot to unpack here. So let’s get started!



Conan Exiles Update 3.0 brings a ton of new content, revamps core aspects of the game and adds a new progression system and an in-game shop. This amount of changes can be overwhelming, so we have compiled most of what you can expect in this update, while keeping some of the details as a surprise for those of you who don’t want spoilers!

We hope you enjoy the read and Update 3.0. Our team has been hard at work on all these features for months and we’re ecstatic to be be able to finally show you what’s included in what will be the biggest content update for Conan Exiles to date.

Welcome to the Age of Sorcery.



[hr][/hr]
[h3]IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS[/h3]
Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.
[hr][/hr]

This is a simplified list of the biggest changes included in Update 3.0. We encourage you to play around with this early build of the game on Testlive and report any issues you may find!


Engage in Ritual Magic, brew powerful Alchemical potions and Cast powerful spells from 5 different Sorcery schools. But keep in mind, this power doesn’t come for free and your character will succumb to permanent Corruption the deeper your Sorcery knowledge becomes. Beware!

• Unlock bigger Sorcerous powers and perks by sacrificing your body to permanent corruption.
  
• 5 different schools of Sorcery at launch.
  
• 3 Types of Sorcery at launch: Ritual Magic, Alchemy and Spell Casting.
  
• New Sorcery Workstations: Thaumaturgy Bench, Chalk Circle, Sacrificial Stone, Shallow Grave and Transportory Stone.
  
• New items and gear for Sorcerers-to-be!
  

We’re evolving the way we release post-launch cosmetic content with the new Battle Pass system and the new in-game store, the Black Lotus Bazaar!

• Battle Passes will be centered around seasons, or Ages, each introducing big content updates, starting with 3.0: The Age of Sorcery!
  
• Every Age will be divided into Chapters, each one introducing a new Battle Pass with new progression and cosmetic content to be unlocked!
  
• Each Age will be centered around a theme and will also bring new free playable content included in new major game updates.
  
• Unlock new items and cosmetics with the Battle Pass for free, or help us support the game by purchasing the paid Battle Pass track that will unlock even more cool stuff.
  
• Daily challenges will let you progress towards the active Battle Pass
  
• New in-game store, the Black Lotus Bazaar, where to purchase previous DLC packs, as well as new items individually or bundled together at a discount.
  
• New in-game currency to allow purchases in the store: Crom Coins.
  
• NOTE: Purchases on the Battle Pass and Black Lotus Bazaar are disabled during Testlive.
  

We’re expanding the Events System spearheaded with Grave Matters by adding new events that will bring new life and dynamism to both the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah!

• New special events will appear on both the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah maps, rewarding those players brave enough to face the challenge and come out victorious!
  
• They will not be shown in the in-game map, but you may encounter them organically while you play!
  
• New and old events will be added over time, rotating the active list with future patches and updates!
  
• Optional feature, can be disabled or enabled via Server Settings.
  

We are changing the way Attributes and player Perks work in Conan Exiles, with completely new Attribute skill trees and reworked perks that will provide meaningful choices and powerful builds for your characters!

• The previous Attributes have been reworked and substituted by a new set:
  
  • Strength, letting you hit stuff harder.
    
  • Agility, making you more nimble and deadlier with ranged weapons and certain melee weapons.
    
  • Vitality, letting you survive for longer.
    
  • Authority will let you command stronger, better, bigger armies.
    
  • Grit, letting you shrug off damage more easily.
    
  • Expertise, for those of you focused on survival and building.
• You now gain an Attribute Point per level.
  
• You can now invest up to 20 points per Attribute skill tree. Every 10 and 20 points you will be able to choose between 2 different perks to customize your character even further.
  
• You can now also choose to Corrupt your Attributes and Perks. By inflicting permanent Corruption to your character, you’ll be able to gain new wretched but augmented versions of the normal perks that will let you play with the nefarious Sorcerous powers of this world at a cost to your humanity.
  
• Attribute bonuses from Weapons and other Gear have been removed.
  
  • Weapon damage now scales based on base damage and points invested in Strength or Agility.
    
  • Armor, Potions, Food, Warpaints no longer provide Attribute bonuses. They now provide buffs to stats instead.
    
  • You can now only have one Potion/Elixir buff and one Food buff at a time.
    
  • Buffs to the same stat can be stacked, though.
• Followers (Pets and Thralls) have also received a balancing pass:
  
  • They will now only have 4 stats: Strength, Agility, Grit and Vitality.
    
  • Their Perks have also changed due to the general revamp.
    
  • Their HP has been reduced based on their Tier.
    
  • Their damage output has been reduced by roughly 50%.

We are changing the building system to be more player-friendly, intuitive, less time consuming and easier to access all your pieces from a new Building UI! And we’re adding a new Creative Mode that will let you focus on bringing your creations to life!

• New Construction Hammer item added to the game. Equip it to access the new Building UI!
  
• The Construction Hammer will let you access the new Building UI from where you can see all your building sets and pieces! (pressing F by default)
  
• If you have enough resources in your inventory, you will now see in the UI how many of each piece you can craft with your current inventory.
  
• Placing down pieces from the Building UI will now automatically craft the building pieces for you cutting down on the clutter and inventory micromanagement!
  
• You can now rapidly change your building brush by looking at an object that has been placed and pressing Middle Mouse Button / R3.
  
• You can also use the Construction Hammer and the Building UI to remove pieces you no longer want.
  
• If you log into the game with building pieces that are covered by this new system in your inventory, they will be converted to its raw materials and placed in a box within your inventory so you can use those materials in your new session.
  
• New Creative Mode added to the game.
  
  • Accessed from the Admin panel or Esc Menu, it will activate cheats on your character, unlock all recipes and remove unnecessary UI elements temporarily so you can focus on building.
    
  • Once you disable Creative Mode, your character will return to normal and the normal gameplay UI will be restored!
    
  • New server settings added to further customize your building experience!
    
  • Building Stability slider.
    
  • “Build Everywhere” mode (bypasses building block restrictions).

You can now apply different looks to your Weapons and Armor (as long as both items are from the same category), in what you normally have requested as “a transmog system”!

• New workbench added where you can apply Illusions to your gear.
  
• You will need two items: the one you want as an illusion, and the one you imbue the illusion onto.
  
• The Illusion item will be lost during the process.
  
• Both items need to be of the same type and category for the Illusion to happen (i.e. you cannot apply a sword Illusion onto a hammer).
  
• You need to have the Knowledge to create both items in order to apply the Illusion
  
• In case of DLC items, Bazaar or Battle Pass items you need to own that content in your account in order to use it in the Illusion system.
  

[hr][/hr]

• New Battle Pass and Black Lotus Bazaar!
  
• Events system!
  
• Building system revamp!

Greetings, Exiles of the Testlive lands!

We’re kicking off 2022 with an early version of our upcoming new update! 2.8 is bringing two oft-requested features: server queues and emotes for followers!

Server queues will let you join a server that’s full without the need of smashing that join button for minutes! Now instead you will be automatically be sent to a queue with other fellow Exiles trying to access the same server and you’ll join once a spot in the server is cleared! This is also customizable via server settings in case you want this feature disabled or tweaked in your private server.



Another big feature incoming in 2.8 is the ability to assign emotes to your followers! Whether you want them to look more alive, or stage the new and hottest choreography this side of the Exiled Lands, this feature will bring new life to your army! Along with it, we have worked on a bevy of new emotes you can learn by interacting with new locations on both game maps. Groovy!

Remember! This is a work in progress, early build of the upcoming 2.8 update and as such, some features may not be working as intended yet. If you give this build a try, please make sure to send us your feedback so we can tweak and improve it for the final release!

Thanks once again for your continued feedback and support and stay safe. After all, 2022 will be a very exciting year for Conan Exiles!

We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.
[hr][/hr]


Server Queues!



Join your favorite server in style. While you can still frantically smash that join button, we offer a less barbaric solution by just letting you wait politely in a queue.
Keep that frantic energy to see your enemies driven before you and hear the lamentation of the other Exiles in the queue.
[hr][/hr]

Follower Emotes!



Tired of your followers staring into the void while at your base? Give them some workout to do with our new feature!
Assign emotes to them, both previous and new, and inject new life into your fief!
[hr][/hr]

• Server queues!
  
• Follower emotes!
  
• … new emotes!
  
• Tons of QoL and bugfixes!

Greetings, Exiles of the Testlive lands!

We’re revving up the engines for the 2.7 Update release, letting you have a try at this early revision we’re going to be working on during the upcoming weeks, which we’re aiming to release in live servers before the Christmas break.

In 2.7 we’re adding a new Point of Interest protection system. This first iteration will prevent obelisks in the Exiled Lands to be blocked, and it will destroy any interfering constructions until access is guaranteed. We’re also focusing on polishing the new Nemedian building pieces and cosmetic sets, with fixes to collision boxes and visual polish to minor issues with armors and placeables. Along with that comes the hinted at upgrade to the building pickup system, where any pieces that would’ve otherwise collapsted when picking one up will now be sent to the inventory!



And what could be the highlight for many of you, we’ve finally delivered one of your most requested changes since the game’s release: it should no longer rain indoors! Any sheltered areas will now protect from the rain and you should no longer see your fancy rugs and furniture soaked in rain. Making those roofs work for it, you know?

Along with these changes we’ve been working on other fixes and general layers of polish to the game. We can’t wait to let you play around with this early version of update 2.7. If you do, please send us your feedback so we can give it some extra love ahead of its release!

Thanks once again for your continued feedback and support, and stay safe!

[h3]IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS[/h3]

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. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.

[h3]Separate TestLive Product on Steam[/h3]

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.
