A curious wind travels all over the Exiled Lands. Sun watches over gloriously, as summer reaches its peak. For some, it’s time to retreat into a cool house by the water or in a cooler area. Others aren’t as lucky, living in all-purpose homes or worse yet - working under the sun’s scorching gaze.

Exiles, have you ever thought about where and how you would face the summer in the Exiled Lands? Well, no better time now to think about and work on that we gladly announce our next Building Contest theme: A Summer Retreat.

You are welcome to imagine it any way you’d like - cozy and wicked ideas are both welcome.

Exiles, it’s time to build your Summer Retreat in the Exiled Land. Whatever a “Summer Retreat” means is up to you to decide.

Judging will be based on creativity and originality of both your building and how you applied the idea of “Summer Retreat”.

Bigger is not necessarily better! While work put into a detailed construction will definitely be appreciated, a small house with an original take and well-thought-out decoration will be more impressive than a bland building with simply a lot of rooms.

Context can help us better understand nuances! This is why we are giving you a field to tell us about your building in the application form. You can name your building, talk about where it is and anything we should know (and might miss by just looking at the photos/videos!) While this is first and foremost a building contest, we will be reading and considering this field for context.

Judges will be from the community managers, community support, dev team and a select few Exiles volunteers.

There will be six winners, three for each category: unmodded and modded. As usual, we will also have a few Honorable Mentions!

Feel free to share your creations on social media with the hashtag #HotConanSummer ! In fact, one of our Honorable Mentions will be chosen from the participants using the hashtag!*

Please note that you need to fill out the participation form to enter the contest regardless!

• We will accept entries until July 25, 2024 10:00 CEST. Entries submitted after this date will not be counted.

流放者，你好：

今天我們要宣布一些重大消息！眾所周知，《Conan Exiles》一直持續不斷地進步，我們團隊的開發方式也是如此。我們要和大家分享幾個重要的主題：

• 今天的全新更新
  
• 全新的內容更新結構
  
• 從下一個時代開始不再使用戰鬥通行證

賞金狩獵活動回歸，帶來一些改善和新的獎勵。在流放之地，你會發現忠於梅克卡莫斯的人類營地，這是一位無法容忍新競爭者的強大巫師。

追蹤剛剛嶄露頭角的巫師，帶他們回來，即可贏得獨特的全新獎勵。活著的巫師價值最高，但是他們的頭骨也行。為慶祝此活動回歸，增加了全新的獎勵，包括契坦奴隸販子服裝，以及一把閃亮的粗短棍和將那些巫師完整帶回來的綁繩。

潦而不倒 (Down But Not Out, DBNO) 功能來了！拜此備受期待的功能之賜，當你的奴隸健康降到最低點時，他們不會再永久死亡。他們會進入倒地狀態，在這期間你可以復活他們。但是要當心，如果你的奴隸在一定的時間內倒地三次，就會永遠死亡。務必讓他們遠避禍端，等待這些「攻擊次數」消失。

請參閱下方修補說明，了解今日更新的完整內容。

這次的更新是這種類型更新的第一次，我們可以透過這種類型的更新，加入來不及在主要章節更新中呈現的內容。


自從巫術時代開始，以及戰爭時代的大部分期間，我們大約每三個月就會發布一個章節的內容更新。這對當時的我們而言是個新的挑戰，而我們從中學習到很多（也發布了很多內容）。

我們了解到的其中一件事是，這種節奏並不是我們的最佳狀態；儘管我們對於發布內容的品質、數量和類型感到完全滿意。

為了找到最佳狀態，我們會把更新章節內容的時間延長為大約六個月，並在期間進行小規模的更新。今天的更新就是這類更新中的第一個。

我們相信這樣可以給我們足夠的時間，使章節更新的內容更加充實，同時也有機會在章節更新之間進行小型的更新，包括諸如全新和回歸的活動（提供裝飾品獎勵）、生活品質改善，以及除錯。


隨著《Conan Exiles》和它的發展週期演變，我們漸漸得到一個結論：與其花時間為每一章設計一個全新且具吸引力的戰鬥通行證，不如將這些時間投入在其他幾個開發領域。這些領域包括章節內容本身，現在還有章節之間的更新，各種活動和獎勵。

簡而言之，過去投入在戰鬥通行證上的一部分工作會轉移到免費內容更新和整體的獎勵上。


總結如下：

• 未來的章節更新將會約六個月發布一次。
  
• 章節之間將會發布小型更新。
  
• 下一個時代不會有戰鬥通行證。我們會把焦點放在章節內容以及章節之間發表的小型內容更新，市場也會繼續推出新的物品和套裝。目前的戰鬥通行證仍然有效，直到下一個時代開始為止。

團隊開發下一個時代的進度順利，雖然還無法提供上市日期，但是我們迫不及待想在八月時和大家分享更多資訊。我們會推出一些全新的重要功能，這些功能有極大的潛力可以在未來的更新中加以擴充，並且和戰爭時代新增的功能完美結合，讓遊戲世界感覺起來更加生動而具凝聚力。

我們期待知道你對於下一個時代的名稱以及它的內容有什麼意見。請在留言區中告訴我們！

DBNO (Down But Not Out)

• On taking fatal damage, followers (excluding golems) will no longer immediately die! They will instead fall to the ground and begin to bleed out. Their health bar will turn gray and deplete over time.
  
• Interacting with allied followers that are bleeding out will perform a rallying cry that revives them and allows them to return to the battle. If you do not revive them before they bleed out, the follower will die.
  
  • Pressing interact will cause revived followers to return to their previous behavior
    
  • Holding interact will cause revived followers to follow you when they are revived
    
  • If you take damage while performing a rallying cry, the action is interrupted and must be started again.
    
  • Rallying cries will revive all followers in a 15 meter radius around the revive target
    
  • Damage taken while bleeding out will reduce the remaining bleed out Health
• Each time a follower begins bleeding out they will accrue a "Strike"
  
  • If a follower has three strikes, they will die the next time their health is depleted.
    
  • Strikes expire simultaneously after 15 minutes
    
  • Expiration time is refreshed to the maximum duration when strikes are applied
• Functionality can be enabled and disabled through server settings.
