Thrall limit, death for pve

Is it wrong that I kind of want to see this now?

And thatā€™s really whatā€™s at the heart of most of these problems. If people would just behave themselves and be mindful of any tangible impact their actions may have on others (without being total pushovers) then we wouldnā€™t have these issues. Or at least they wouldnā€™t be as bad.

A thousand thralls all packed together in one spot is going to cause lag. Something like that is common knowledge. Even if you werenā€™t aware of that, it should become apparent when your own performance degrades after placing the five hundredth thrall in your basement, which should lead you to consider downsizing a bit. Unfortunately people these days just have absolutely no shame at all and will brazenly abuse exploits or break game mechanics while blaming the developers for not preventing them from doing it. So I donā€™t think they ever actually get to the part about considering their own actions.

Sometime I go to a official pve server with lowest ping rate possible. In there is few mega base lying around, been to a few of them and waiting for it load in take more than a minutes, what is common between the mega base is that they put a lot of thrall and pet surrounding it. Just a month ago the bridge of betrayer only has a few animal and some foundation and now there is all 7 Altar in straight line following the bridge. It still ok as they did not block the path from 1 end to the other sheltering anyone using it from the cold. I would still think is a nice addition, but they also build a road from there over the mountain to stargazer crestšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø. They already have taken most of mound of the dead area. And saying the the landclaim and the number of follower is not an issue for the pve and pve-c is too much of a stretch. Let face it we have people would ruin it for other.

Ofc thralls matter in pve and adds to server loadā€¦

So yeah thrall limit is welcome in pveā€¦ Not all players use a lot of thrallsā€¦

One question, how many playhours do you ppl who is writing here have? And are you mostly playing pve or pvp?

I got my own servers precisely because of this.

Play hours arent really relevant.

You got it because of to many thralls? or to many buildings?

To make my opinion it is relevant, after a while you ahve gotten every recipe, you ahve all crafter thralls you want. So if i cant make my own zoo or village and get thralls for those, what is it left to do??
There are no raidgroups or grouping at all and the gear and weapon you want you amke your self so the Vaults and world bosses are useless to make.

Why even make surges/purges to get thralls you dont need or can put out? These updates are for pvp mostly, like i have said everytime.

I too enjoy building, but I make sure I donā€™t build too much or in the way.
You can build a very I mean very very big base with this limit.

If you want to build more, break something else down and make a new build this is how I do it.


The other problem thatā€™s going to be worse is the palisade spam to compensate for the lack of defence in bigger bases, Iā€™m not talking about the 2-3 layers but Iā€™ve seen people spamming 10-20 layers of palisadesā€¦

I have built a big main base and 2 smaller ones. But to tear apart and build again is not a sollution that will make ppl to stay on servers^^. And abput pallisades, how are funcom gona do about that, isnā€™t that also a kind of using a glitch or abuse the game, like someone mentioned above that having many thralls was/is?

I have also my own server only exile for now. So i am going to just log on to official to uppdate decay time from now on. And that will not trigger a purge and if it does i can revoke it.

Pretty sure it was intended to be a survival adventure game, not a build simulator. I say this as someone who LOVES the building in this game. But Iā€™ve been on official PVE, PVP and Private servers. Building limits and thrall limits are an excellent idea. The size of base some people build is just ridiculous. Itā€™s selfish when playing on a server with other people. And PVP servers? The land claim goes beyond stupid. I play on SP only now, and I still donā€™t build nearly as big as a lot of people do. This is nothing compared to most bases on PVE servers.

OK, you may be right, but this game are not good in the survival and adventure thing. You lvl up to 60 in 2-4 days, you get a good newbie named thrall. With this fighter you kill almost anything in the game. After a week or 2 you get a higher named fighter thrall that help you. Lets say that it takes 2 month to get the best recipes you want for weapon and gear. There you have done the game in 3 month. Left to do is building only since it is in the game, if you wasnā€™t suppose to build so much they should have made an limit of building pieces from start that you can have.

Thx for the tip :slight_smile:

As Barnes I have 5,440 PC hours ostensibly on PvP servers, and as alts have more than 2,000 on the PS4 exclusively on PvP. Considering 97 percent of all my PC playtime has been PvE, I feel qualified to reply to this.

When you go to your Uncle Richā€™s library, heā€™ll let you take out anything you want in piles of hundreds. Because heā€™s Rich. When you go to the public library, they put a limit on the number of items you can withdraw. In this way, the maximum number of consumers can enjoy themselves.

As a (mostly :lizard:) PvE player, thereā€™s always lots to do. I guess without the pressing need to improve and harden your base, you might lack motivation to keep playing. On the flip side, if you need to turn your public server into a full-on Malibu Stacy playhouse, perhaps you lack imagination.

What is it to do after 13 k hours in Pve?? There is nothing or anything i have not done or seen. So we are back to build and get thralls for those buildings^.

yes, there is 1 thing i do, i run around to see if i can loot and destroy others decayed buildings.

I like(d) dressing up as me and going into the Sinnerā€™s cave and doing a little dance. Iā€™ll even park a dancer above to get the full effect. The abject horror on a new playerā€™s reactions are amazing if I can pull it off. The trick is making the terrain above my head hide my name badge.

Before I became a thrallable dancer, Iā€™d do the same thing at the Darfari zone or Sepermeru. Of course that requires making the clothes, dyeing them spot-on and just waiting around for prey. Alternatively itā€™s great to just mix things up. Have you considered creating a large ā€œhollywood letterā€ message east to west across the tall sandstone divider below the Highlands?

This will be my last reply.

Thx to you who replayed here and i know what to do with my time in conan til a new game come.
I gona build more and bigger (need farming resources) and farm Lesser??? to revoke purges all the time. Put out a lot of pallisades to defend if i get a purge.

BB and have fun^^

lol. Funny how 9n some threads there are complaints about CM feedback, yet here you had to link the main thread on a new thread. Literally just saw another where I flagged the CMs to fold that one into the main thread, as well as letting that OP know to search and join in on those instead of another duplicate topic.
