With thrall optimizations - something to consider

Please consider separating thrall health and damage modifiers from NPCs. That way people running dedicated servers can make monsters and NPCs more challenging whithout also making thrallls over powered.

this IS A GOOD ONE

There use to be a separate command in the server settings for thralls that adjusted their damage and health. That either never worked or was turned off (maybe to reduce server calculations?). The issue is, with it linked to monster settings, it basically makes adjusting monster damage and health moot, since a T4 thrall in top armor and weapons will always outshine monsters.

At least give the command back for private servers.

I can’t see how making them do more damage can make them more challenging, but having more control over server setting is always nice.

If you up the power of an NPC, up goes your thrall power. OP is saying we need to split the two apart, so we can control how strong the NPCs are without it doing the same to our thralls.

If we never hunt with thralls, then it is a non-issue, but it is a fun part of the game to take them out hunting.

Yep,
Been a on a lot of private owners list to have more control of these minor thig, to let us be creative and offer choices for servers. Consoles especially need more minute admin commands and some basic city building features. SP would benefit from this as well. I would even pay 19.99 USD for a DLC of Admin commands like these.

Admin features I want.

  • Admin mode temporarily grants 50 in all stats.
  • See all players on map
  • Highlight specific player on map
  • See from Chosen players camera (so you can monitor them)
  • A heatmap of all said players building pieces.
  • Pause world, this would freeze everything including players and keep their bodies in world how they were frozen if they disconnect to allow admins to inspect questionable happenings.
  • Delete All players structures.

and

  • Indestructable build mode for assets you want permanently placed in your world. Maybe you want an indesuctable arena :woman_shrugging:t4:

I like these. some may be out of reach tech wise (or financially drainging to code). I have wanted both the indesturcible builds so i can have a PVP and still desgin a city. Would also like to have 25-30 spawns in that city for my choosing, and tie loot tables to the spawns as well.

For PvE servers it would be nice to see others at the map… Or for consoles your friends…
I made some friends while playing and they are all in their own clans. Would be nice to see them at the map… Because we often help each other out…

For private servers and single player, there is a boss HP mod that works quite well. One for SP and one for Coop.

You are right, but if you are able to use mods you are able to make backups. So the risk is not really high.
I’m using a mod to reduce the HP for monsters. And after an update of the game I check if it still works. If yes, all fine. If not I just unsub the mod, look for another mod or wait for an update.
For me this solution is fine, because I’m able to kill the bosses solo (or with my thralls).

It’s your choice to wait for an official solution or to run mods and enjoy the game :slight_smile:

There are mods for making the bosses weaker, but I am not aware of any mods that weaken player thralls and pets without affecting the monsters. So there is no solution for the type of server I plan to host.
