Only three tasks in the upper right corner of your screen: climb, drink and eat. What now? Again, no explanation or tutorial. We were finally together on the same server, standing bare naked in the desert. So one of us had to abandon his server and recreate his character on the right server. It turned out we both choose a different server… And guess what? Your character and progress are server-bound. Once entered, the game starts with the creation of your character.Īfter we both put a lot of work into creating our character, we were dropped in the same desert but were unable to see each other. There are far more private (password protected) servers that are owned by players than official servers, so it took us some time before we found a server we could enter. A gigantic list appears with a mix of private and official servers. Next, you need to choose server to play on.

I still don’t know what PvP (conflict) is, but we were good with PvE. In this mode, you still encounter other online players, but you can’t damage them or their buildings. In our case, it’s more likely we’d be attacked by other players so we choose PvE: Player versus Environment. PvP stands for Player versus Player, this mode lets you attack other players. You first need to choose in which mode you want to play: PvP, PvP (conflict) or PvE. If you stray too far, an invisible wall will prevent you from going farther away. Secondly, the joined player needs to stay in the vicinity of the host. If you join your friend, you can only play when he/she’s online (and vice versa). Firstly, the save game is on the host console. It lets you invite or join a friend’s game, but there are some caveats. Here’s the first dilemma: which one should you choose if you want to play with a friend?Ĭo-op seems the most logical option here. In the main menu, for example, you need to choose if you want to play online or single player/co-op. Nothing is explained, your main source of information is the Conan Exiles Wiki. Starting hurdlesĬonan Exiles is not a very welcoming game for first-time players.

Thanks to Fallout, we were familiar with the concept of surviving and base building. Two years later, I picked this game up again after completing Fallout 76 with a friend. After struggling for about half an hour I immediately discarded the game because I had no clue what I had to do and kept dying all the time. I downloaded the game when they gave it away for free as part of the Playstation Plus monthly games in April 2019. Some games are only fun when playing with friends. Now, we were finally able to achieve the Tower of the Elephant trophy which was our last trophy needed to gain the platinum trophy. On the 4th of May, a patch was released that fixed the online co-op issue.
