New Follower Limit - Feedback thread

@CodeMage

This would explain their attitude, too. I believe Funcom’s business model for Conan Exiles isn’t to sell the game or DLCs, but rather to profit from the private servers

Not that we haven’t clarified this plenty of times already. But we get absolutely no revenue from private server rentals.

@lanier67

Still I could live with it, if they would implement a function for me to pick up placed thralls again to my inventory or at least positively flag Thralls i do want to keep, instead of killing the ones i don’t want at the moment.

We’ve announced and clarified that there will be a period between the patch releases and the cap is enabled on official server. You can read about it (or watch it) on the links in the main thread pointing to the devstream.
This way you will be able to break bonds with those you don’t want to keep before the cap culls the ones that go above the limit.

If your intention was to “unite the game community” you got it, you are all coming together, but in a negative way as a form of total revolt and repudiation

After collecting feedback over many channels of communication over the entire week, we can’t but disagree with that statement. But those opposed to the change are more vocal than those who are not.
We do acknowledge there is a sector of players opposed to it, but it is nowhere near as numerous to those who welcome the cap or those who welcome the cap with reservations.
We take all the feedback seriously, no matter their stance and as long as it’s constructive. But statements as yours above do not help raising the impact of your stance.

@tjhoban

And all this movement only from the few people who read the ad, almost no one goes to the game page on steam periodically to see if there is news of the game.

IMAGINE! when all players see their slaves gone out of nowhere, this will become hell!

It has been announced on every channel available, including Steam, Steam announcements, social media channels, Reddit and our forums. A server announcement will also pop when the patch is out announcing the cap.
We hope that suffices to get the message to the majority of those who play our game.

I don’t believe there are grounds for thinking the Thrall Cap is coming only because of consoles

The cap is aimed to improve performance on all platforms. Our estimates however show a much more noticeable improvement on consoles. But PC servers will benefit from this as well.
Those who also claim their framerate is perfectly okay when around their base, please be aware that we’re also talking about two different concepts: client FPS and server FPS. You might be running 120fps on your gig, but the server might be severely struggling to keep up with the load. Many servers experience this during peak times. Having close to 20k (or more, as we’ve been observing in some servers) thralls active in a server during peak do certainly not help at all to improve performance.

Once again, we see many points of contention that have already been answered and clarified. Please once again we’d like to ask you to take a look at this F.A.Q covering all the questions we’ve been gathering over the week and covered on stream as well.

FAQ about Thrall/Pet Leveling and Limiter

Dear exiles, On Tuesday, we announced that we’re rolling out Attributes, Perks and leveling for pets/thralls in a future update. You can read the full announcement in this post. The TL;DR is that this new feature will make individual thralls/pets more powerful and also makes engaging with them more rewarding. At the same time, we’re implementing a limit on how many thralls/pets you can own at once. The details about this limit can also be found in the post we linked to above. Naturally, a lo…
