Do clients need to buy the DLC to use it, or is it a server-side thing?

fine fine fine Out of curiosity, if I don't buy it, where are the gating points? Does it not let me connect to the server, does it not let me craft the stuff, does it not let me equip it, does it not let me see it (the emperor has no clothes!!!)? I don't think I've played any MMOGs since well before DLC became a thing.  |

You can see the stuff without purchasing the DLC, you just can't craft it yourself. It's mostly a different look for other gear/buildings that are in the game.

I don't think I've played any MMOGs since well before DLC became a thing. I think it's purely cosmetic stuff. Things like pet taming, new dungeons and religions are going to be free (for now). |

I was reading somebody complaining that the new Khitian weapons that can be crafted were 'Pay-to-Win' but since we're not a PvP server I don't see that mattering too much, if it was even true. |

From what I've seen, the Khitan armor is just a different skin on the same stats as other equivalent epic tier armor of the same type, only with cold resistance (stuff like Silent Legion has heat resist). The Cimmerian Warrior Epic has the same stats with cold resist. I think Silent Legion heavy is similar only with heat resist.

I wonder if we could build a Coliseum encircling one of the boss monster spawns...

Those screenshots lead me to ask, will we be able to place water in some way? That bath house would be difficult to do if not...

What are you talking about, just build it over a river.  (edit) omg, I know what my next construction project named after an SF landmark is going to be. |

Only if we can get it to continue allowing crocodile spawns. That'll liven up the bath house, you betcha

If we can place water, I'll be megastoked. I don't even think I can admin place water.

I can envision how they could implement placeable water as part of a building, but I doubt they'd do it as a stealth feature.

Yeah, I imagine it will work similar to wells.

so is this the Make Aquilonia Great Again DLC?  serious question: If you only play PVE with friends and friends of friends on private servers, in what ways is Conan better than Ark? Is the construction less wonky? Better combat? Better graphics? More character customization? Better crafting? Less chore-like maintenance for food/pets/crafting/heat/whatever? I'm having trouble imagining breaking serfs on the wheel to be nearly as much fun as hunting down and taming a max-level T Rex or the like. |
Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

It's Conan. It's not $60. People don't currently want to murder the devs. Etc.
Most of all, people here are currently playing it.

It is kinda fun to explore and follow the story line stuff, but you have to craft items to accomplish that and crafting items and building stuff kind of go hand in hand in it. |

It's one of the early unlocks for Humble Bundle. It effectively costs less than a burrito.

I mean, you could get someone to twink you out; most of us have houses with plenty of guest rooms, and you can use other people's crafting stations to repair your gear. But I'd assume that someone who doesn't want to build shit also doesn't want to explore (because Bartle types), and the combat in this game is definitely not its selling point. |

Like I was playing on another server last night and I accidentally beat one of the endgame bosses because I sort of accidentally stumbled into her lair and well, why not. That kind of combat. Half the time the AI is flat out not working at all and you half-kill something before it even says, "Oh, my, you are killing me."

What sort of weaponry lets you kill one of the bosses in under an hour?

seriously tho
I decided to take a crack at the dragon in the sinkhole the other night, and gave up after 100 razor arrows barely made a dent.

Don’t kite the dragon with arrows. I mostly stood underneath it and melee’d it, and it wasn’t much trouble. I spent more effort trying to get to him without excessive corruption buildup.
