Inkel posted:Yes. But they're crazy if they think they'll be able to have no wipes. People will find glitches and exploits that will allow them to amass a huge amount of resources or destroy other people's stuff with no effort, blocking npc spawns with player buildings, building under the terrain, etc. Then eventually mega clans will take over official servers and run everyone else into the ground. It's just a matter of how long they'll hold out before giving in and doing a wipe. Clans like ours ruin the "no wipe" thing pretty quickly. Redditors like the idea until organized clans conquer and destroy literally everything worth having forever.

So Pros: + Game has a meaningful stat system, and levelling system (IE levelling is fun and feels satisfying progressing, and stats matter. Being able to carry more poo poo and smash faces harder or have more health or have food/water last longer is neat and good) + PVE is a fun distraction and ensures you have something to do when not PVPing + PVP, when not rubberbanding, is hilarious and fun + Standard UE4 base building, VERY akin to Rust + Full Mod support + Community hosted servers are super customizable +  Cons (currently): - No Linux server support at the moment, BTFO - Rubberbanding across all servers, but a patch is coming in like 2 hours? - Currently, you can punch down t1 walls, I don't know how they missed that but lol - Official servers have clan limit sizes, and enforced 70 slot maxes until the map is expanded Tonight, join us for roaming on community servers, punching down bases and slaying mans with our handcrafted welfare gear! The good word must be spread.

1stGear posted:Are goons playing on the Battleye required servers? Cause man, I do not like what I'm reading in that EULA or online about that system. Yes, and it'll be pretty normal on every server. I've used BattleEye for Arma as well, and it's no more intrusive than Warden, EAC, or VAC. Except unlike most of those, it actually works quite well.

The lingering issue (that Rust had as well) is that currently you can't be AFK'ed off a server. Which means the pubbie poopsockers are NEVER logging off their servers to ensure that no one else can hop on and poopsock harder than they poopsock. Between this, and the bug that allowed recipe exploiting, full wipes are inevitable. When this happens, I theorize, the real poopsocking begins. If you want to do some HELPFUL TEAMWORK THINGS now, check Discord. There is work to be done.

Ping Perfect was pretty bad from the onset, and I have a feeling it was their agreement with FunCom that arbitrarily prevented FunCom from releasing the files for Linux server support. If FunCom was intelligent, they would just release the Linux files and the community would then fill in most of the gaps as far as servers go.

lilspooky posted:Is this game as lovely and grindy as Ark or does it somehow fix that aspect of that terrible game? There is still kind of an XP grind to the higher levels, but honestly it's not bad. T3 buildings take an absurd amount of resources, but I think Conan really tries to push people into group play which makes things easier. (Because ultimately part of the endgame is having your own towns/little fiefdoms and attacking other nerds) I would say it's less grindy than Ark, a little moreso than Rust.

The goon server is almost up. It's in the last step of updating the server-side files. We've had to reverse engineer almost everything to get around FunCom's Linux restriction. It'll be up. You can rent a server if you want to but patience will pay off. Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Feb 5, 2017 |

GoGoGadget posted:Is this up now then or did something go horribly wrong? We're getting the blackscreen bug a bunch of server admins are reporting. We can see, connect, and configure the server properly. But when we connect all we get is a blackscreen. We fell asleep but about 6 of us are awake now and working on it again. Will keep people posted. Silver lining though, our server will support 100 people out of the gate I think.

Our server is up and running. You can find it on the discord listed in the OP -- It's a 65GB 70 slot server on a main pipe. Password is listed on Discord (in the OP) as well. Password will only stay for 24 hours. In the next 24 hours there might be some ups and downs as we tune and configure our jury rigged windows in a linux box experiment.

I think we're going to set a cron job to run a server restart script every 8 hours or so, and add a text warning if we can. The server control and config tools are still pretty buggy and rudimentary. But beyond that, we had about 50 people on at max last night (just goons), and the server wasn't rubber banding or doing anything weird beyond what happens because of the wonky early access bugs, so we're pretty pleased. Tonight we will take the password off and open it up to the public. There aren't a ton of 70 slot servers up, and I think ours is the only run that doesn't run like poo poo, so we should get pretty good traffic. There currently isn't an AFK timer, but I think we can config that as well to stop server squating beyond the server resets purging everyone out. People are free to run their own servers of course, but this one is running on a 64GB dedicated box on a main pipe, so I challenge anyone to run one with better performance, and as soon as mod support is added, we'll be adding mods that goons request. I don't think anyone can claim an "official" goon server, but as far as I am concerned, this one is the one. We managed to do what FunCom didn't let the community do: we coded their Windows only server files to run on a Linux box and will keep adding a lot of backend support and changes to improve and fix poo poo. It's an ongoing process, so there might be some bumps but we're pretty happy with the results so far. As far as the different clans, we'll try to increase the support for clans from 30 to 70 today, along with adjusting XP rates and poo poo further, and adding a longer day cycle. And changing the server display region from Europe to NA, since it's hosted in the US. But BMW as a "clan" in the game is more or less the core group I and others usually play with, we've taken on a bunch of new people though as well, and I strongly encourage other goons and friends to form clans as well, or stay with the "main" goon clan under Duster. It's just more fun this way. When pubbies flood the server I'm sure we will band together, but if a goon didn't knock out a pillar wrecking half of a base thing, a pubbie would have immediately because  don't build a skyfort predicated on one pillar in a survival game? My general rule no matter what happens though is Goons > not goons. I think BMW and any other goon clan will always rush to the aid of another when attacked by pubbies, but when there is no one to fight the wolves turn on each other. We've added, and will also add, more voice channels on the BMW Discord (linked in the OP) for different groups to play on and can add server groups special for large groups as needed. There are also all the conan information channels with *useful info* as well. If people have questions though, feel free to PM me there with concerns or server issues, or anything that needs attention and we'll try to take a look at it. Would really like to thank Tempus Thales and others though who put so much work into getting the server running this weekend. We ran the math, and we feel like we can support 125+ player slots easily, but right now the game is hardlocked at 70. Remember: The server password will be taken off at around 8pm EST tonight, so pubbies will rush the server in short order. Prepare for hilarity. You can find the server either in game or using the steam browser by searching "something dongful" Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Feb 6, 2017 |

To be honest I think a lot of the glitches aren't a server setting issue, and they are just issues caused by the rapid (probably sloppy, if needed) patching by Funcom. They're on a faster than 24 hours turntime so this isn't surprising. Any issues fixed or seemingly fixed by changing a server setting is likely placebo, or simply a result of the server just restarting itself.

As compared to say, Rust, Conan is a game at least in the current meta that rewards building wide as opposed to tall. The wider and more stable a base is the harder to raid it will be. Honeycombing invariably will become a thing.

The pubbies on Dongful are plentiful, and strangely friendly. I witnessed one accidentally killing one today and then giving him a new set of gear as an apology. Also our server rank keeps going up, so I hope FunCom allows an AFK timeout to be implemented soon. Even with an invalid version error this morning 20 people were on still playing by connecting through steam.
