What do you think of this pack? I wasn't too sure about the white pieces on first impression, but I think they've turned out fairly good Join our Discord!: discord.gg/myexFkZ ALL my lore videos: kzhead.info/channel/PLb1BvY8uSBcc-H4sq5AqnBK4oRNkCcOOk.html Patreon: www.patreon.com/eradicati0n Get my first book FREE!: www.patreon.com/posts/89695302 Twitter: twitter.com/eradicati0nn
yup, this one is and finally we got some more t2. also thank you for pointing out we are missing a door !!! lets hope they fix it and dont make me buy it twice xD AND I think its a good idea to sell us items from battlepass, its a win win, they get money and i get things i dont have :D
Was going to get this until I did a double-check as I knew I had bought at least oart of the set back when it first landed. I don't use it much, but I did get it. I saw that I had indeed apparently already got most of the set: all of the Stonebrick and all of the Reinforced Stone items. Of the Sandstone, I have three of the four pieces, missing only the 'Arcane Sandstone Wall Rim' piece. In the Bazaar it has discounted my price from 860CC to 602CC, suggesting that the 'Arcane Sandstone Wall Rim' piece is truly a collectible as it costs more than all the other pieces less one. Could be a mistake somewhere, but again, the Bazaar does appear a little out of kilter - I ain't paying £4.26 for a single bit of build trim. Could just be a mistake that should have been included in my original bundle? 🤔
I prefer the white stone as i think it stands out more especially the line work from a distance. Though just happy to have it as i missed out on the battlepass.
Are you going to make a video talking about everything that comes out in all the chapters of the age of war ?
@@ashura_allen-otsutsuki_br2910 As in a review, or a lore video? I tend to review each chapter separately towards the end of its life cycle, but I will be doing a full Age of War lore video at some point soon, though those videos always take quite a bit of time
I honestly like this set very much. It allows those who missed the Age of Sorcery BP a chance to build something fresh and unique. Trims are the MVP's of that set as they can complement any other building set, especially those with darker walls. Also there is something in that crudeness that reminds me of old Conan movies, which can be considered as a plus in a game with Conan in it.
Yeah trims were the MVP of the original set for me too, these are probably a little less flexible but not useless by any means. I hope they add more to other packs in the future
I like this set. In fact, I would like to see more T1 and T2 building sets that match and support different environs. Such as grey stone for the the colder north with insulation. A thatched building set for the jungle biomes. And I would like to sxee the Siptha's red colored "Stygian" (???) as a new building set.
Honestly I think e would get a HUGE boost to flexibility in builds If they allowed us to dye different building pieces. I don't know, maybe just me?
Absolutely, though I'm not sure if it's a realistic prospect. Mods do already exist to do that, but I could see the devs maybe not wanting to do it either because it might affect the bottom line, or to stop people dyeing their homes hot pink or neon blue, that would really break the immersion 😂
@@Eradicati0nnbut people can already dye their armors like this 😅
I got the earlier arcane bundle and I really liked it. For some reason I thought that the new bundle is something I already had, but it turned out it's something new. Thank Yog I managed to buy it before it went away.
Here I took a quick look in the bazar and thought it was odd that they had pieces I owned listed with a price. I didn't even notice they were a different color. for $5 I'll likely buy it because the trim pieces have been highly used in my builds. While I have the dark ones, I'll be willing to bet with a little experimentation they will get a fair amount of use.
I normally do not buy anything from the shop because of the high cost. I hope that they continue to experiment with low cost bundles. A small group of items around $5 seems reasonable to me.
Yeah for all the faults of the Bazaar pricing, I'm interested in smaller stuff for lower prices. A cheap bundle of assorted wall trims would be something I'd definitely like to see
So much this. I would buy more things if they were sold in small bundles. As it stands now, I see something with a big price and I just nope out.
I had already bought the pack before watching this. Sometimes I just like hearing you speak it's a good start for the day.. ty have a great day.
The story of Conan the Barbarian has great importance for Brazil, especially in the Northeast region, where I was born. For me, this importance is even more evident. Observing the decline of the game based on this saga so significant to us is somewhat sad. We, fans, question the decisions of the company responsible, hoping for changes and improvements. The importance of Conan the Barbarian is comparable to that of Lord of the Rings here. Not even Harry Potter got to that point here.
A genre that has been growing here is Souls Like mainly the Souls series, Bloodborne now Elden Ring which is challenging, and has a lot of combat possibilities.
Got this the first day it came out in the bazaar but have not done anything with it because of the missing door frame
Yes, the door frame came with the Age of Sorcery Chapter 1 BP. I was lucky to get it back then. They should put it back on Bazaar again.
I really hope that we can get more items like the wall trims for other build sets or even just in a variety of colors and styles. They are so flexible and can be used to add a lot more detail to otherwise bland builds.
Agreed, there doesn't need to be loads but a curated selection would be so useful to have
I hope they plan to expand isolated wood and black ice sets to. They kind of lag behind the others who has more options now.
The arcane reinforced stone doorway is still missing.
Me too
hey man are you gonna do a review on the new armour set?
Poitain Knight? I am planning to, not too sure on the timescale of when but it'll be fairly soon
I like it, will probably use the stonebrick set, but hopefully they fix the missing doorframe bug as I'm newish, so missed all of CE pre-AoW Ch.3.. I will say though.. The white looks better than the black imo. 😅
Both Stonebrick and Reinforced Stone are quite nice, though pairing Arcane Sandstone with Sandstone Timber is also surprisingly good. The bug will definitely get fixed, hopefully sooner rather than later :)
@@Eradicati0nnI assume it'll be fixed, as item code numbers sounds like an easy fix, when they release the next hotfix, which I figure should probably be May 1st when they restart Ch. 4 event, but I haven't seen any news on when the next fix will be. 😅
I honestly just want to go back to DLCs. New map, new armors, new building pieces that you actually have to do things to unlock.
I'm today the first like and the first in the comment section I hope that Funcom fixes that with the door I find Tier 1 and Tier 2 parts to be far more visually appealing than Tier 3 These also have a greater practical use They have larger openings so you could just fire them out with a bow And the Tier 1 window is generally larger and the Tier 2 window has a higher opening And I think it's very good per se that you can access these very practical parts even if you haven't played the Battle Pass I hope that this design will be found in packages at higher levels at some point Because at some point when you're actively playing Conan Exiles, you're usually no longer using T1 parts much And I think it would be good if you had parts that have the same characteristics but are also more durable For the same reason or similar reasons, I would also be happy if the expansion for sandstone components were to be found in higher levels at some point And because these parts also have a fairly high practical and visual benefit For example the large window with the shutter And the same applies to the parts in this package For example, parts that are made like the Tier 2 window could be used for shooting niches in castles, for example A window like the Tier 1 window would be interesting for more civil buildings, for example Or also for embrasures in fortifications
Oh man, KZhead almost completely deleted my message so I had to rewrite it again
They most definitely will fix the missing door, a missing item has happened a couple of times before and the precedent has always been to fix the bundle and retroactively grant it, especially as it was advertised as being in there. I think there's a lot of interesting things that could be done with the designs in this set as a foundation, hopefully it serves as inspiration for future smaller bundles like this, $5 for some niche but useful building pieces could be a decent shout for the future
@@tank.9393 KZhead's been doing that a lot lately 😩
For me, the pack was bugged !!! The inforced stoned wall with statue isn't visible.
I didn't like it but now my dreams of a white Stormglass set are closer to the reality. Time to hype!
You have just the door missing I have the entire reinforced stone set missing
Funcom: Here Eradicati0nn, have this set for free to review. Also Funcom: We won't watch or read any of the comments. Not even sure why we do this to be honest. $5 is not terrible, still meh, well at least its not Escape from Tarkov selling a $250 DLC that's pay to win.
To be fair, I know at least some of the devs do watch Conan content, though tbh any issue I mention here is already on the forums, such is the way of life 😂 $5 for this is much more palatable than some of the other offerings for sure, especially ones like Yamatai Tavern. I've never even played Tarkov but I've heard more than enough about the $250 DLC 😂 The dev responses too have been a masterclass in what to do
I bought it and I'm missing the t3 doorway... totally not cool
The new one is so much better because you can see the lines on it
I use aesir and arena building sets. I dont see any reason to buy this, because dont use default sets.
That's fair, unless you use the base sets or others like Aquilonian/Argossean there probably isn't much reason to get this, it's not a must-have by any means
Thanks for the material Mate. In my opinion, selling the same thing with a changed color is a mockery. Instead of creating new elements, developers limit themselves to changing the color of textures on already existing elements. However, the disappearance of one of the elements is a clear lack of respect for the players. Bloody hell, we're paying for it, and it's a lot of money. How come paid content hasn't been tested? I don't care that it's a simple mistake, that someone got the numbers wrong, I care about the end result, this little piece of nonsense was fucked up and no one caught it because they don't give a damn about me and don't care about me at all. The set is useless in my opinion, poorly selected color and an exorbitant price for such nonsense.
I'm not too hung up on the changed colour. The devs did say all the way back in AoS C1 that they'd be open to smaller redesigns and repackaging of older BP items, so I don't mind it given the transparency, even if it has taken a long time for them to swing back around. There are also some smaller textural changes to the designs, but tbh I didn't even notice them until after I made this review 😂 If they were charging like $10 for this tho, I think that would be a bit ridiculous. $5 is much closer to what I'd consider reasonable. Idk if I'd say lack of respect myself, more just dismal QA, though I can see the argument that they'd one in the same. Idk how a simple mistake like that gets past even the most basic QA, but stranger things have happened 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video, I always appreciate your comments 🙏
if you already did AoS, nah. but for someone who started on AoW, prolly yeah..
Yeah I'd lean towards that, AoS' version is a bit more flexible for sure. This one is a little more niche, though I don't dislike the white arcane motifs as much as I thought I would
Funny enough, textered of the fence and door/window frames have different acheronian patterns on stone parts than one from battlepass
No ,nothing from that Bazar is worth it, Funcom do not deserve our money, letting this amazing game fall into a mass buggy mess that takes months to fix. Why help Tencent or Funcom with our money, because neither actually care about the state of the game, bugs, lack of content or how both parties have basically killed of the player base. Hmmm , Funcom making Dune, have they learned from there past mistakes!!!🤔🧐
