Now that the contest is over I can say that reading through everyone’s agent was an absolute JOY. The creativity in both the character’s physical description, personality, and background blew us away! We received exactly 111 entries. And we could tell that love and effort were put into each one. Ya’ll have some serious talent! I’ll post the winners and some developer favorites but if you don’t see yours here please feel free to comment with your agent!

Grand Prize Winner

Created by Statik

Name: “The Cleaner”
Gender: Male
Profession: CoV Occult clean-up crew
Age: 45

Physical Description: He’s seen things. Things with tentacles. He’s probably seen nearly everything. Large, sleep deprived, caffeine-strong eyes that have looked into the void. And then… mopped it up. He looks older than he is - his face is quite drawn and grumpy - this guy doesn’t sleep easy at night. And…he has a mop dun dun ...

Yes, as announced here:

Hey everybody,

Thanks for sharing your feedback and opinions, pro or against this new change. But please we’d like to ask you all to remain civil and respectful to each other.

We’d also like to clarify some points mentioned in the announcement that seem to have flown over some heads. This cap limit of 100 per full clan is the default and the one that will be used in official servers at launch. Private servers and singleplayer/coop games will be able to customize this cap or even disable it, as they can do with other settings.
Also, this cap is subject to changes once we analyze the performance impact and usage when the update goes out. Again, this affects official servers only. Private server owners and single players can set this limit and distribution per clan member to whatever setting they prefer.

And once again, please, be respectful to each other.

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.

Hey Valkyrja,

Thank you for your question A lot of similar ones were brought up in the thread already and I have noted it down in my list for tomorrow’s stream.

Hey @Dragoonduneman

Thanks for the feedback. We’ve sent it to our team so they can look into it.

Hey @Maloeiro

Please be aware that this server is running under Moscow’s timezone and there will be temporary adjustments due to the daylight savings change.

Thanks for the update and apologies for the frustration.
Our team will try to look into these performance issues.

Hey @KealaKC

We’ve sent your report to our team. We’re aware of similar issues and our team is looking into it.

Hey @gen_dak

Welcome to our community and apologies for the frustration.
Are you playing with mods in that private server?

Hey @Langmar

Welcome to our community.
We’re aware of this graphical artifact when creating a female character. Our team is looking into it.
Thanks for the feedback.

Please keep questions limited to the Follower leveling system and the Follower limit.

Ok, I pushed a new version which basically is 1.0.41 + the “Added the steam query port to the “copy connection information” button” part of 1.0.42

1.0.43 (05 November 2019)

• Reverted back to the default ports 7777/7778/27015
  Dedicated Server Launcher 1.0.43

If that works as expected, it will be the new official version.
Sorry for the fumbling :-/

Dear exiles,

Today we announced that we’re rolling out a leveling system for Followers alongside the Mounts update. On the same date we’re also introducing a mechanic to limit the amount of Followers each player/clan is allowed to have.

We’ll be talking about these additions on stream on Thursday (5pm CET / 11am EST / 8am PST).

If you have questions about these systems, please leave them in this thread and we will endeavor to answer them during the stream.
