Funcom Reminds Players of Official Server Types Ahead of Next Week's Launch - Exiles News

Funcom has posted a friendly reminder on its Conan Exiles Facebook page to remind players what type of official servers will be available when the game launches on May 8th. There will be three official server types, each with unique rulesets: PvP, PvE and PvE Conflict. Of course, privately hosted servers can be tweaked by the owner to provide its players with different experiences.

PVE Conflict sounds kind of great, TBH.

itsover · May 2018

I though this was only pvp survive ? What is pve mode ?

ConstantineMerus · May 2018

Downloading now. Looking forward to exile myself for a while.

Avanah · May 2018

So excited to start fresh.

Cuppett5 · May 2018

PvE conflict does sound good. I'll play the PC version now!

It's in the article...

PvE: Only creatures and NPCs can harm players on PvE servers. Thralls will not attack players and players cannot attack and kill thralls.

As @Wellspring said -- the first post in this thread has a link to the full article. THAT'S where the bulk of the information is.

Will they get anywhere near their Steam peak players online record they set in Feb 2017?

I say not a chance - but it will be interesting to see.

I'm more curious to see how it performs on console.

Daft · May 2018

PVE conflict? That made my day! I'm in

Kyleran · May 2018

I may actually give this a try once the fury dies down a bit.

rojoArcueid · May 2018

I like the idea behind the PvE Conflict server. I am a PvE gamer, but having that little time frame where there is a higher risk of getting killed out in the wild is actually cool. If you need crafting materials between 5pm and 11pm you have to decide if it's worth the risk going out to gather some stuff or wait for the next day while still keeping most of the game PvE exclusive. I like that.

Scot · May 2018

How quaint, a MMO like game that is going to do what used to be a gold standard, a wipe before it launches, I am feeling all nostalgic and wondering if any of the new indie MMOs will do the same.

cheyane · May 2018

They are allowing PvE ....OMG great news for me !!!!!

PvP didn't work out well apparently. Not surprised.
Survival games are great for PvE. PvP people generally (not everyone) has no patience, they have no time to waste building stuff, they just want to smash things.
Simple psychology, I don't get how game developers didn't get it yet.

Ilaya · May 2018

Friends an i looking forward to get a private Server rdy short after 8.5. We will wait for Patches first and then enjoy the PvE experience

Herase · May 2018

I'm surprise people didn't know about the PVE, the games got a massive world to explore, with 4 - 5 dungeons, caves, lore and all sorts to explore.

Once you get past the first few mins of trying to survive the game opens up massively. So many goals to achieve

TalulaRose · May 2018

So people are just gonna build stuff and then............log out?

The whole premise was suppose to be the pvp to keep the cycle of build destroy repeat.

So on the pve server RNG will come along and destroy your stuff forcing you to repeat what you just did for RNG to come and destroy it again. Sounds fun for the first week at best.

No offense

but the link does not lead to an article but to their facebook page. If there is an article about this topic I couldn't find it. Facebook pages in general are horrible as a source to find any specific information. Even more if you don't have a facebook account (and I will never have one) you always get bother with "Come on, login register now" " Didn't register yet ? Come do so now" blocking even parts of the screen. They just want your personal data, that's all facebook cares about.

But anyway, I think your summary probably contains the most important info. Even though I am not a PvP fanatic myself I am not sure a PvE server makes a lot of sense for games like this one which are more or less all about pvp. And the PvE conflict one doesn't sound that great also for someone who has a job, meaning you more or less can anyway most of the time only play during pvp times.

Combined PvP/PvE concepts never really worked out in any game unless they were strictly seperated to different zones and then you probably just got 2 games instead of one, like GW2, ESO etc. . Either play a pvp game or a pve game. Games which support both are just offering a mediocre experience for both scenarios and offer many possibilities to misuse the system.

You would be surprised how often game developers get their marketing wrong.
Marketing is as important as the game itself, yet not much money is invested in Marketing experts, most it's in-house improvisation.

epoq · May 2018

Sounds like (from this thread at least) people are more interested in PvE conflict (myself included). I think I've experienced enough griefing in survival games over the past 5 years to last me a lifetime.

Bellomo · May 2018

The pvp in this game is awesome. Fight the elements , npc's, wildlife, and me if you want to survive.

Really is a fun game everyone should check out.

True, to be fair I only knew about the PvE once I was looking at the server list, then I searched was it worth and was kinda shocked.

Would defo give it the label lite-mmo

PVE conflict does have pvp. Unless I'm reading that wrong. what one can't do is damage the buildings. "On a PvE Conflict server you can only damage other players during prime time (5pm – 11pm local server time). Building damage is turned off at all times. "
