Have you heard how the mod "Beyond Stations" is going to be affected by this? I gather it will not be compatible since you cannot hide thralls any longer.

Would be very nice if we can take their souls with a spell and bring them back using another living body in the sacrificial stone

I like not having my thrall stolen out of their work place lol

Personally, I don't like the "crafter to itemization" idea. Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on that one. It shouldn't have been in the game in the first place, so getting rid of it is a good thing in my opinion.

They just make them knockable like you normaly do in the world

How about giving us the ability to lock doors and crafting tables? That way, people can’t steal items left in a table and crafters won’t be able to open locked doors/gates. 🤷‍♂️

Is this game better than Conan Exiles?

Great Video, Wak! Hope the devs are listening. The "Better Thralls" mod has allowed you to pick up Thralls for years at this point, at the cost of resetting them to level 0 and re rolling stat level %-Chance. This is a non-issue for crafters since they are likely going to have no stat leveling % like bartenders.

I agree with you 100%. And the change that the running area has now been doubled or tripled doesn't make it any better. Your tips here with the emotes are worth their weight in gold! And it's also important to know that they can't use elevators.

Bwuahahaha! All the things! Flying/tripping in mid air when I upgrade to a better building type... lol Drowning when you spawn to your bed... that is on foundation blocks above water... lol But I'm excited to play again when the update launches. 2000+ hours in and I always come back.

So now my t4 thralls will get killed by random mobs....sigh.

They needa update sorcery, i was soooooo excited, and its so slow and limited

L

Living settlements should be optional like in settings seems to be more hassle than it’s worth

The dev stream said thralls couldn't use elevators.

I like your idea of using sorcery to put crafters into a "transportable" state. I didn't realize how difficult the new crafter behavior is. As always, I appreciate your videos!

It’s another stupid change that is entirely pointless. They could have given us ambient thralls without completely upending the crafting thrall mechanic. Another massive L by Funcom.

Nothin' to do with the video,but,those deer,are they a mod or are we gettin' new animals??

my crafters are going to be locked in a one by one cube and never let out lol

Can the crafters use elevators?

If you have a bar/pub at your base the patrons will also open the doors so i would also say have it separate from your base if you don't want people sneaking in.

An opt out button would be nice

Nobody cares about PvP, and if you do play that then suck it up.

Y tho

All we need is a button to lock a crafter to a bench that they just stay stationary once placed like the current system.

The reitemizing would be great for solo players in pvp servers.

Conan Exiles pretending to be Soulmask.

Seems to me, they need to have separate pvp and pve settings. In pvp, let people use the old crafter system.

Increase the follower count!

so the new system is broken glitchy buggy mess. its almost like if funcom made it .

Don't worry, the modders.. (You know, the Real Heros of Exiles) will get this fix soon enough... Oh wait, I play on a console.

Also being able to unlock doors for non clan members would be nice too... Like for taverns and such

I think if you place them at a workstation they should stay there if you place them in the world they are free to wander around

Have you tried breaking a thrall on the wheel? just thinking that when you interact with the wheel they will still be itemized until you place them worth a shot and getting them to stay in place goes against what the whole living settlement is just have guards in place and make sure they got food so they can protect the crafters

wise is the pvper that does not use crafter thralls at all once this goes live

I like the idea of itemizing your thralls again but I feel like this should be a summoning circle (circle of power) thing. Also being able to pick up your thralls and keep them safe from harm is strong so maybe there can be a slight balance to this method as well. 1. Bring your thrall to a summoning circle. 2. "itemize" them into something like a soul orb you can carry them (to match the theme of sorcery), and have each soul slightly corrupt you. The more souls the stronger the corruption. 3. When you're ready to put them back down, bring them back to a summoning circle and re-summon them. I feel with something like this we can keep the immersion some players may want, while also having the quality of life gamer's aspect to it.

feels like they are trying to copy some of soulmasks features

Hate the idea of the entire idea of living settlement. Would be nice for a toggle to turn it off

Well, I mean as we speak of ideas, they could go with hibernation chests (like sorcery - induced sleep?) or maybe, just maybe a storage for the thrall souls like, some sort of sorcery device, or table (not to confuse with like ancient tablet obviously) that you could store the thralls souls when you "break them in", and then, yes, maybe a table where you could "craft" the thralls/crafters body back if it get's destroyed.

I've reduced my crafting areas to 1 base, putting the rest of the crafters in storage until we know more work arounds. That base has isolated floors with elevators, however, i am concerned about the falling through the floor bug and how it's going to impact crafters.

So if they are now like fighters,bearers,archers and dancers. Can they be turned into zombies?

Instead of fixing any of the numerous problems of the game behavior would rather Nerf a perk that is honestly not that good

Sounds like crafter thralls have been turned into millennial employees...

I wonder if game devs even realize this problem for PVP players. Sorry but really weak design.

Thanks WAK! They never got path finding quite right .. when I built a base they jammed up went to wrong place ... not everyone had this issue but in a large server drop I can see this being an issue

Why can't we have sorcerer thralls that do the ritual killings for us to save us time standing there doing absolutely nothing for 30 secs waiting for our character to do an animated ritual. So tedious. Would be much better if we could place a scocerer in a slot and when we start a ritual the scorcerer does it for us

I will be the bad guy and say it - this is just another idea, which was already done by the modders, but Funcom has to make it their own with much worse implementation... :'(

also with pve some servers you gotta becareful when the worker thralls open the doors and some someone from another clan can sneek in and steel from your base that can be a big prob it depends on the admin also on there rules on the steelings

Тhe Better Thralls mod allows for re-itemizing thralls if I remember right. Also Funcom should give us the option to toggle it off altogether.

"hiding" your crafters is a best case scenario, a wost case scenario, would be the crafters being taken by the enemy clan. with the new system, the worst the enemy can can do is kill your crafters, denying you of what you had, but it doesn't become a gain by the enemy clan being able to make use of the crafter. this will force more exploring because at most a clan can only "remove" another clans ability, raiding will no longer be a way to advance clan progress, thrall wise, unless there are unplaced thralls (not a guarantee)
