Sounds reasonable. And to be honest, if Xbox players want to start at same time as pc users, they can join the following servers at their launch.

Spam can be a problem in the Conan Conflict servers, just as in PVE. However, in the Conan Pve-C servers, you can drag world bosses into their bases. If they have archers and defenders, the boss can do damage to the base, at least, last time I played there. If you want to do all as you describe in your first paragraph, isn't that kind of what exists now? Can you not park your ships at different islands while they are in protection and they cannot be touched? Obviously, I play PVE here so, I really am asking earnestly.

Where's my damn hat! I wants it, precious, I wants it. I used a cook pot at one encampment. Woot!

I've been talking about Conan Conflict servers a bit, here. I, too, think it would be very very popular. The downside from a PvP view is, you can't raid a base. Of course, I think, that same mechanic would bring more into PvP. That being said, Conan runs all 3 types of servers to cater to all.

In the PTR, I ran in to this. Turns out the island was bugged. Bad rubberbanding and no harvesting. Sailed to a different island, all good.

Why would they have to at least add one more ship type first?

I'll take your word for it as I really don't have any experience in this sort of thing. My question would be, why do it in the first place then? The map has changed, they've changed some islands completely. Williers Cay in I7 is completely different than what it has been. They've added some islands in some zones, takes some islands from others.

They've changed some of the islands...alot. Example, Williers Cay in I7 is completely different, I mean unrecognizable to what it was. Any particular benefit? Well, maybe the topography is much easier to read. They've taken an island or two from some zones, added an island or two in others.

The new map on the PTR will require a wipe. They have changed Freeport zones.

I haven't seen the need to wipe PVE. However, playing on the PTR, I feel a wipe will be happening. Because, our home island is in I5, and now I5 is a freeport. I'm used to alot of wipes playing Conan EA so, I'm used to starting over and over and it doesn't really bother me. What does concern me is the loss of players in the server because not everyone thinks like myself.

Are you upset we didn't quote someone in a reply?

I don't understand how people say this about cyclones. When I am hit, my ships take little damage. Heck, I think my character takes more damage than my ships. And they are supposed to be detrimental. A) I'm ok with adding a variant to the sotds. B) see above C) definitely and I don't mind the subs D) I don't mind a combined world. "Conflict" servers work in Conan. However, two things; removing all options will not be good for the game and there must be some kind of griefing protection for non pvp players, otherwise I see non pvpers being run out of the combined server. D) more difficult? No. And people have already been selling ships just like tames.

I'm not a fan of factions but, like @Remo, have 3, at least. Navy, privateer and pirate. Actually, add a merchant faction as well. All with different bonuses. Meh, I don't like factions for this game.

For those wanting a wipe remember, this is still EA. There will be at least one more wipe at launch. So, what's the big deal about having to wipe with the update? Balance the PvP action, no real need to wipe. There is zero need to wipe PVE.

Hey, you brought up life and your singular view. Would you rather I assume or base my thought on what you actually stated. Wrong, playing solo does not mean alone. See, in an MMO, you can interact with other people, ally up, work together when needed, trade, etc. As far as NPC's, they are a necessity. I prefer sailing with others in my company however, how many companies can crew a fully equipped galleon?

Playing solo does not mean alone. You have a singular point of view when it comes to life.

Can't do ANYTHING in life on your own? Like what? I can do anything I want to, alone. Solo play cannot be penalized, it is a perfectly acceptable way to play, even in a MMO. Good thread, @Boomernoncannon. Definitely no warp speed sailing, I've made my opinions clear on this before. Currents, trade winds? I can't see an issue with that. As was said earlier, the expanse of the game is a core parr of it, don't take that away. I'm one of those that is fine with the sailing. There is no need to sail more than 4 or 5 zones except by choice. For whales or for maps. All resources can be found within 4 or 5 zones, except for some, Ironwood for example. I feel this is and was designed to be a more hardcore game. Not a game of instant gratification.

Don't think that can be done.

How was your company cheated? @Largocarne

You will most likely be changing those stats around from time to time, depending on what you will be doing. You will have level ups and after each one, you can reroll stats and skills.

What about your hat?

Wtf, man. Seriously. You really misinterpreted his op. Which, fine, that happens. But then you just heaped loads of snarky on it. @Decado, I'm with @Boomervoncannon, great feedback for the devs. I am planning on watching the live stream since I happen to be off. I am hoping for much from the new lead designer.

Is a server option possibly in the works to make a PVP/PVE hybrid? I hate to bring up another game but, Conan Exiles has one that allows PVP against players for a set amount of hours, while keeping one's base secure from being destroyed by other players. That doesn't mean that their base cannot take damage from animals, bosses, etc. I do think that this type of "conflict" server, would cater to those that do want to PVP but do not want to see everything destroyed offline. Ship PVP could certainly be an option during this time period as well or, ship PVP/Player PVP could be an option all the time. I do think this would entice more players to play PVP that cannot be online all the time nor, have a desire to play in a larger company. Thank you.

Recent and real life example. Loaded up on wood, 28640 kg out of 33900kg. No rack, was making 7-8 knots (ish). Stopped, created rack loaded it up max. New speed, 10.25 - 10.8 knots.

Yes. More of the fantasy.
