  • A story untold for years - the playthrough that turned me into a conan addict, the legendary war that showed Conan Exiles was not just a game with potential, but a game that could deliver on that potential. Unfortunately, this happened so long ago, I hadn't even began to dream of starting my own youtube channel.
    And so, to bring you this story, I've spent the last 2 months rebuilding the entire server from scratch. Over 70,000 building pieces, 600+ thrall placements, over 1,156 individually recorded videos over the course of two months, I've rebuilt the entire experience so I could tell you this story authentically.
    If you've ever wondered why I bothered with conan for so long despite my many misgivings, this was the playthrough that kept pulling me back - the one I'd think of at work, or while playing another game, that would get the conan soundtrack playing in my head, and fill my belly with a hunger for barbarism.
    So, enjoy! It's a little different from your typical raid video given the circumstances, but I followed the source material as slavishly as I could so that you could still experience this as if it happened yesterday.

    Just to be clear, not everyone in prophecy cheated, as far as I understand it many of them didn't know and they don't all play together anymore. While we had our beef with people on this server there was a lot of drama on both ends behind the scenes so try not to hold it against anyone or harass anyone for what is shown in the video. It's a game and a playthrough that happened nearly two and a half years ago, so keep all that in mind please and remember to be civil

      Same. Also the thing he said near the beginning where he said it would take only twenty bombs to raid his base. At the time I had no idea what that meant, but when he brought it up again at the end, I was laughing my ass off because I finally understood how little that is compared to all the trouble they caused the clan.

The two strangers proceed to destroy the tyrants through wits, grit, and force of arms, and invoke the very power of the gods in the process. Epic.

      I have an almost mirrored story of these events with a much lamer ending. Huge Alpha with same exact jungle base, PvE player who was friends with them with highways and massive structures everywhere, group of terrorists who joined to terrorize them, also told them there friends were gonna wipe them the same day me and my friends put up 4 T3 Altars in our base because we were new to game and thought they were pretty. Alpha talks to our one player who is kinda dumb, and also speaks the worst english so they consider him sus and raid us with 2 Jhebbals. We then explain to them we are not with the "Banditos" (the terrorists), they help us rebuild, we join them on the hunt for them, the server slowly dies because people just stopped playing, so me and some friends band together to raid a huge jungle base by some Italian clan. It turned into us looting while running away from a pre nerf bearer in star metal with a legendary great-sword in a narrow base with like 17 stories and 1 staircase. We then joined a new server to become the very terrorists we swore to destroy. The end lol

    I stopped playing Conan and Ark over a year ago, but I absolutely love your approach to the genre and it's one I share. I hate "alpha clans" and loathe cheaters to a level some people think is unreasonable(I maintain that someone that will cheat at a game will cheat, lie, steal at literally everything else in life. If they'll do it over something so trivial, they'll 100% do it over something that matters). I even have my own "Jumbi" partner in crime for it, a good friend who excels at combat in games while I'm the strategist. We toppled more than a few "alphas" but none as large as Prophecy seemed to be, and none with so epic a story. We never had a war in Conan or Ark that lasted more than two-ish weeks. Your cleverness, tactics, and strategy made me smile many times over and brought back more than a few glorious memories.

    • @XxTaiMTxX
      @XxTaiMTxX Před rokem

      I've found that there are really three types of cheaters out there:
      1. The type that are really just sad and scared children who have low self-esteem and must get their ego boosts not through time and effort, but through just "winning". For these people, they only care about the outcome and not the journey. This is primarily who you will encounter in online games, because it's the "inherent competition" that draws this type.
      2. The type that are really just interested in "mucking about" with the mechanics of the game. They're just interested in breaking it, because the process of breaking it is interesting. Some like to continue the exploit as it is the reward for the work put in to finding it. Some like to continue to exploit in hopes that it will be patched out if the problem gets to be widespread enough.
      3. The type that got tired of the tediousness of the game and just wants to make things a little easier.
      I am, personally, a bit of type 2, but mostly type 3. If I find something weird or interesting in a game, I look to see if it has any "useful" applications to the game. If not, I drop it. If yes, I exploit it. However, I'm not interested in using such exploits against other players in a competitive environment. It feels... cheap to win that way. Like I didn't actually earn it, because we weren't playing under the same rules and restrictions. Typically, however, I'm the type 3 type of cheater. Once a game becomes "tedious", my options become "quit playing forever" or "do some cheating to keep it fresh and keep the game moving".
      I played Ark with my friend on The Island for over 300 hours. We had beaten the Spider Queen up to Alpha (we just did each attempt back to back, because we weren't sure how stron gour choices actually were for the fight... turns out 20 anteater creatures absolutely MAUL the boss to death on Singleplayer settings, and you lose like 6 of them to the whole fight on Alpha, while losing none on Gamma and Beta) and beaten the Yeti Boss up to Beta (it destroyed us on Alpha, so I was now breeding a ton of Rexes). We did everything legit. We were playing on default settings for almost all of it (I tweaked the breeding settings after we lost our whole group at the Yeti Alpha boss, so we could get ready to go again more quickly). Then, there was an update on the game, and it screwed up our whole file. As in, when we loaded the game, we couldn't access our save game, and an accidental save later on the "wiped" game overwrote the save we'd had. We lost everything. All our progress. So, I gave up. 300 hours to get to the point where we'd explored about one third of the map, conquered a ton of of the content and managed to get "decent" gear to work with. We Console Commanded our way to victory after that. We've done it on every map since. Because, honestly, losing 300 hours of progress like that just broke me. All the restrictions on the settings came off. Gather Rates and carry weights were jacked to insane levels. Damage from our dinos was jacked up to insane degrees. The game was rendered mostly "easy mode" and "ability to build up quickly". We attempt each new story map from the standpoint of "try it fresh, see how far we get before it gets tedious". That's how we played that game. Oh, and we also console commanded a ton of the achievements and other nonsense out of the game so we didn't have to worry about it.
      Now, here I am on Conan Exiles. Fun game. But, I hit the "tedious" point of the game. I know where to get everything. But, it's such a long slog to get anything, to go anywhere, to do anything. The bosses have a mighty jump in difficulty, even on singleplayer with no "progression" ability to deal with them, except maybe collecting thralls. Armor values jump from 400 to 600 to 1000. There's nothing in between. No "easy progression". Oh, and to get the truly "endgame" stuff, you have to beat "endgame" bosses for it. Multiple times for the materials. So, back to "cheating" again. Free building stuff. Jacking up player damage. Spawning in tedious to farm items. There's no clear "path of progression" here after you get the 600 armor. Everything just hits you so hard and so frequently after that. Dungeons get insane in terms of damage output to players. Even on singleplayer, the game basically expects you to bring in multiple players to help whittle the bosses down. But, at least I'm still doing a large chunk of the game "by hand". Even if I spawn in metal, I spawn the ore, smelt it, and then use it to build what I need. I'm making building "free" so that I can construct nice looking bases. I'm still going out and collecting the recipes and stuff, even if I use "Fly" to do it. I only ever put on "God" mode for collecting thralls. Cheating to remove the tedium of the grind.

    Caprica Six here. My quote still stands especially in the current state of Conan. The video was a masterpiece. I cannot believe you remade everything down to that rocknose base by unnamed city. I have been a big fan and subscriber of yours for a long time. Your story of the events are not totally accurate. We were never cheating for one. And we did blow that mountain base to name a few. Like you, I think this war was the most fun I ever had in Conan. It would be cool if we could all get together and play again. Jumbi, Assjack, Oldman Brink, and all the others. Honey wouldn't be down with that but I really respect what you guys did and it made the game fun. It was hard for me trying to keep up with you guys because I worked 24hr shifts every 3rd day. Again... This video was a masterpiece. I never knew you were with Jumbi as I subbed to your channel. The funny thing about this is you posted it on my birthday. Nice birthday present.

    even when i didn't participated at all in this conflict, i still felt like i was reliving the story.
    simply because i know how does it feel fight alphas who believes to be invencible.
    the adrenaline of doing risky plays is what i live for. (like your play in the first act)
    the satisfaction of being always the underdog until you are not longer the underdog and start winning more and more until it ends.
    i always said that being alpha is for losers, like of course that you should always win when you are the alpha because everything is in your favor, you farm without any risk whatsoever.
    you can have base around the entire map to optimice your farming route.
    i really appreciate all the time in effort you put into this video, you can tell the amount of work that you need to do this and all because simply is fun.
    Conan is not much a "pvp" game and more a WAR game.
    managing your resources, soldiers, tactics, strategy is what makes this game incredible (one of the reasons why i don't play private servers with increased rates)
    easily the best conan video out there, not random pvp montages of random plays. everyone can swing an axe and kill someone
    but not everyone can win WARS.
    and this is what makes it special, the fact that you and i played different servers and wars but i can 100 % relate to what this video is about. the STORY. of your gameplay.
    i wish funcom don't let the game dye so easily, good survival games are really rare these days and no, not ark for christ sake XD
    hope you can continue in the future!

      @hughman6614 Před 2 lety +7

      ​@Elvissangry They never said that "every movie and every book that isn't based off a true story" is crap. That's a huge strawman. This particular niche of Rust and Conan content is appealing because it's an over-dramatization of the truth. The reason channels like Welyn are so successful is because they can embellish a story while having the natural spontaneous moments that come with the real gameplay.
      Coming up with a satisfying story that is completely fake is difficult and time consuming, and the viewers are less likely to forgive the weak or contrived parts of the story if they know it's all planned. Also, the creator is much more likely to burn out if they have to write a whole original story for each video, and as I've said, the reason why videos like this are so popular is because they are true stories (albeit embellished ones).
      Instead of a "completely fake" story, I think a roleplay server with sort of a loose direction of where the story would go or with a general goal could be a good idea for a different type of video because it would allow this type of creator to flex their storytelling muscles while still having fun in the game (which is the whole reason why most of them make videos at all; They make these videos because it's fun and they can tell stories off of the games.)
