What is finest in a multiplayer survival sandbox? To crush your enemy, see him pushed earlier than you, and listen to the adulation of the sector’s assembled crowd as a result of all survival sandboxes should finish in a struggle membership finally. That’s now potential in Conan Exiles even on PvE servers, because of a brand new merchandise added in an replace yesterday. The new Battle Standards let gamers create duelling zones the place anybody can situation PvP challenges to anybody. Build an area, slam down the flag, and begin rumbling. The replace has added extra, however frankly my curiosity is within the inevitable recreations of Kirk and Spock’s duel in Star Wars Episode II: Amok Time.
“A Battle Standard will establish a zone which will make anyone who steps inside it eligible to engage in PvP combat,” Funcom clarify within the Update 37 patch notes. “Activating PvP is completely optional, so people can’t grief you by suddenly plonking down a Battle Standard and gunning for a fight.”
Players can’t construct inside a Battle Standard’s space of affect both, so it is going to stand as a fightzone. Make the house look good earlier than you slap that Standard down, thoughts – as soon as it’s raised it’ll cease even you. This post explains much more.
The replace additionally added brief swords and two-handed axes, for brand new types of homicide. The two-handed axes allows you to spin spherical and spherical like a lethal prime (a Beyblade?), which doesn’t sound wholly efficient in fight however absolutely is a crowd-pleasing transfer in a murderarena.
Accompanying all this, Funcom yesterday launched a brand new little bit of paid DLC named the Blood And Sand Pack. That consists of a great deal of constructing components useful for establishing a handsome area, in addition to new seems to be for outdated weapons. It’s £9/€10/$10 on Steam or comes within the Year 2 Season Pass.
That’s all solely beauty, like different Conan Exiles DLCs, however it’s a actual disgrace these fancy basebits are restricted to this. I suppose when you stumble blindly right into a murderarena out within the wastes, it’ll seemingly have been constructed by a member of the digital gentry who entertains themself by watching you bleed. That type all the time have the prettiest DLCs.
