On Conan Exiles official AND rented servers check the settings! Ever since Age of War launched, Gportal and in-game COMBAT SETTINGS are set to an incorrect value and you need to manually adjust it.
Thrall Damage to NPC Multiplier is preset at .5 NOW, but it SHOULD BE AT 1.0!
Thrall Damage to NPC multiplier SHOULD BE 1.0 (100% damage) and I have rented and set up servers and this is a cross platform issue. I logged onto an Xbox Official server and now I understand why players are quitting. Their **THRALLS FEEL UNDERPOWERED ** because a game setting out of their control is at an incorrect value.
This was intentionally changed to 0.5. Its the value they want for those servers.
And no, this is not why people are claiming thralls are underpowered. They could set it to 10.0x and they would still have a problem. A million damage thrall still dies if it just stands there and dies without attacking and still does zero total damage.
People wanted their characters to be the heroes of the story, rather than their thralls stealing the glory. This default setting was done due to player feedback.
Mind you, this was partly compensated by increasing the damage multipliers of some higher tier thralls, but those have been changed so many times since the “Thrall to NPC damage multiplier” was set to 0.5 that I’m unable to be more specific than this.
I paid attention to this change when it was made, and I have intentionally kept that setting as it is (ie. at 0.5) on my Single-Player game where I could change it to whichever multiplier I want. In my opinion it’s fine as is.
