Two Thrall patch notes (QOL/additions) that stand out, at least to me.
-
Improved the “look at system” for human characters. For player character this is disabled while in combat or emoting. Thralls and other players should now stare at your soul in a more immersive way.
-
Idle thralls and NPCs will now also show sheathed weapons.
Wow, thanks!
Wait… how can I see these fantastic, necessary and time taking, “QOL/additions,” if my Thralls are 100 feet under the surface?! LOL and rly? 
And I can’t remember the last time my Thralls were in an ‘idle stance.’ They stand with weapon out, always.
The slightest glimmer of hope is that you did fix the pathing and Thralls can return back to their guard position. E.g. Standing on their required foundations.
I tried to play this weekend…
1 Thralls attacked an Elk.
2 I didn’t notice one Thrall didn’t return to the foundations.
3 I went on an iron run.
4 Came back, Thrall was about 100 feet underground.
5 Killed game, played something else.
Sigh
