Platform: Xbox Series X  
Issue Type: Gameplay  
Game Mode: Single Player  
Server Type: PvP  
Map: Exiled Lands  
Server Name: Any unofficial server with building allowed anywhere

* * *

Bug Description:

If “Allow Building Anywhere” is checked in server settings, players can build anywhere. This works as intended. However, trying to place thralls will still not be allowed, with the same error messages, “Invalid thrall location”, and “Thralls are not allowed here”. This makes for very lonely secret bases on singleplayer, or servers that allow them. This could be fixed either by allowing thralls with the existing build setting, or adding a separate setting in case the server owner wants to allow structures and not thralls, or vice versa.

* * *

Bug Reproduction:

Load a singleplayer game or unofficial server, become an admin, allow building anywhere, and try to place a thrall in an area you cannot normally build

Thanks @sestus2009. Greetings @HobbitOfNi and nice to meet you here on the forum. Both myself and a couple of other players aside from yourself have reported this issue to our Funcom community managers. Bot certain if these follower placement restrictions were intended or not at this point. But the other threads, like your own, have been tagged as ‘report received’, which may indicate that it has been noted and is being looked into. So for now we may just need to see how things pan out.
