Conan Exiles Dev Tracker

That is quite incorrect. Our stance is to prefer to fix the exploit rather than ban the exploiter, but we do exceptions depending on the impact of the exploits or exploiting being abused. As some of you in this thread are already aware. :)

Nice screenshot!

It's fine, I'm sure they've also murdered someone for their boots.

Just don't ask him to pull any levers!

Aww, how lovely! <3

Hey there,

We announced in our devstream that pets will get innate armor to compensate for the lack of equipment vs thralls.

Others

I play Solo/Co-op on PC. At end-game, I use the keystone to replay (reroll.) The new character uses the old map with all the old buildings, crafters, and followers in place, but they are hostile to the new character. How will this system treat those ‘abandoned’ followers? Will they still be there for my “mock raiding” on old bases? Will they be considered as my new character’s followers in the total count?

• Abandoned thralls do not count to your new characters maximum. Decay may be a factor but if you’re playing in singleplayer, there are options for that in the “server” settings.

You mentioned in the article that the system will be moddable? Would that include the possibility of player’s choices in which stat to increase for their followers? I don’t understand why this is not an option already.

• We didn’t want players to be able to pick and choose. Think of perks as flavor that adds a spect...

Perks

The perks that come along with leveling new followers, will they be selectable or are they fixed for a given follower?

• Randomly selected from a range available to the race – so no, you can’t select which perk to get

Unless I read it wrong, it sounds like perks aren’t guaranteed? Are perks randomized across the board or per Follower class/type?

• Perks are guaranteed at specific levels (typically level 10, 15, 20). The specific perk your pet gets is not guaranteed.

• One may get “Jack of All trades”, “Unfliching” and “Bestial Strength” while another gains “Paragon”, “Unholy Strength” and “Bird Brain”.

• Perks are given out based on the race of the follower – Birds, Reptiles, Humans, Apes, Undead, Canines, Felines, etc.

Are the perks like player perks?

• No, the perks are stat modifications (so far). We would like ...

Stats/Stat growth/Leveling

Followers won’t have a Grit stat at all? Can’t you give them Grit but give it a new purpose like increased Health regen out of combat or something?

• We did discuss it and there simply wasn’t enough time to pull that through. The same goes for Encumbrance incidentally. Also – looking back at it now, it might’ve been a good thing; this way we focus more on the stats that matter more.

What level would non placed thralls/pets be? Like when I pull one out of a Wheel of Pain or an Animal Pen?

• They all start at level 0 and max out at 20, so you have 20 level-ups. That goes for admin spawning as well.

Does the thrall have to make the killing blow to earn exp? If the thrall has a truncheon does knocking out other potential thralls count for exp?

• No – the thrall does not have to have the killing blow, but they have to be following you ...

Old Thralls/Pets vs New Thralls/Pets

What happens to my old thralls/pets when the leveling system rolls out?

• So called "legacy followers" (pets/thralls) that have been placed out in the world will have 0 in all Attributes and 0 potential for growth. The leveling system will not apply to them.

Will “stored” Followers be considered part of the “old system”, or once placed, after this update goes live, be useable under the new leveling system? If I have unbroken thralls “cooking” in the Wheel of Pain, will I be able to level them if I keep them tucked away somewhere until after the update?

• If you have a thrall/pet tucked away somewhere, and then place them out after the leveling system goes live, they will be able to level up and gain grow their attributes.

Why can’t the leveling system be added retroactively to old thralls?

• It is technically a much more...

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 lot of you had questions about pe...

Thank you everyone for your questions. We have about 3 A4 pages worth to go through and we will endeavor to answer as many of your concerns as possible during the stream.

We understand that this is a controversial change we're proposing and we're monitoring your feedback as it comes in.

Dear exiles,

As you know, we’re working on adding mounts to Conan Exiles. You may also know that we’re adding mounted combat, so you can crush your enemies and drive them before you using weapons from horseback.

What you may not know is that we’re also adding a leveling system for Pets and Thralls (collectively called Followers going forward). Please...

Damn! That's truly impressive!

Looks good :)

That's an amazing screenshot!

Just in time for Halloween!

Yes, there is a plan. As stated in the patch notes under "Known Issues", we're working on that issue -which appeared previously in the Wine Cellar update- and it will be released in a future patch.

We check them as often as we can if given through the proper channels for this kind of reports, which is via DM in our forums to either me or Hugo. No help needed.

:)

File size for this patch is unusually large due to the asset and file optimizations. Apologies for the inconvenience.
