Funcom announced some changes coming for the Thrall Rescue Timers in Conan Exiles via their official Discord today. I checked their Steam page, but I did not see any mention of it there (at the time of this post at least). The reasoning behind the change is apparently related to the recent update: Age of Heroes and some problematic things introduced by the new content. While it’s good to see some action in reference too the issues, it doesn’t really seem to be a solution that will address the problems already in action from their current player base. Still some action is better than none. You can take a peek at the official post on their forums, here.
Hello Exiles!
In light of recent issues introduced with the Age of Heroes update, we are reducing the thrall rescue cooldown timer on all official servers. The new values are as follows:
- Thrall Rescue: 5 minutes (down from 1 hour)
- For those unfamiliar with this feature, this is a function you may access from Follower Management.
- WARNING: Thralls recovered this way lose their entire inventory when rescued, but you will at least be able to recover the character.
- Damage cooldown: 2 minutes (down from 10 minutes)
- After a stuck follower takes damage from any source, you will be able to use the Rescue function on them after 2 minutes instead of 10 minutes.
These changes were committed today, October 23, so the new values will not go into effect until after the servers restart later tonight.
We understand this does not fully address the overarching issue, but our hope is this can help lessen the sting of loss for a follower you invested your time in. The core issue will be addressed in an upcoming hotfix; as soon as we know more about a release timeline, we’ll keep you updated.
Thank you for your attention and I sincerely apologize for any trouble or frustration caused. And please let us know how this works for you!
