New interactions with placeables To make sure they have what they need, we also expanded the interaction between NPCs and placeables. For example, you will now have thralls grilling food, stirring pots and mixing potions, and you may find your workers taking a nap in your bed! While moving your followers, walk around your base looking for green ghostly figures – each ghostly outline shows you where a thrall can be placed!
This part really makes me sad. You feel that this feature is for the roleplayers, but at the same time it is not for the roleplayers.
A lot of great animations have been added to the game, but we, the players, don’t have access to them. Simply add an option in the radial menu that allows us to use the object/craft bench ourself with an animation. That doesn’t sound too complicated, at least on paper. In Myth of Empires I really enjoyed the fact that I could put my character at the forge or cooking place myself.
i am not a funcom defender, but i think they meant no use of resources or anything …
the part that bothers me, is that it fails so much in making it lively! my base right now looks very lively without them moving., when update hits my base will look deserted. a ghost town.
Isn’t that supposed to just mean that there is no additional effort for us as players? So we don’t have to make food for the Thralls or provide wood for campfire nights? But this statement from Funcom is not entirely true. After all, we’re supposed to pave our base with beds…
At least you can still move them to benches so it appears they’re working.
Making them have meshes/hitboxes, inventories and be vulnerable could be overlooked if they did function as intended.
By the way, I have qualms with them being in the way if they function or not, their hitboxes are like thralls in that they feel huge. Trying to get to inventories of chests and benches are a test of patience as I end up in their inventories instead. Additionally, certain emotes like sitting on the ground or lying down still retain the hitbox as if they were standing up.
i have 15 blacksmiths crafters invenory thralls in myt benches, and those rooms looks veery much alive.
when this hits, i will have 3 blcksmiths in there, and the room will look very empty even more if they go out to eat a sandwich or a soup. and not to mention they might get bugged out somewhere. and will not return to their benches, so yes, congrats funcom, i will still have bonuses from those benches/ but will feel like totally alone.
we are going several steps in the wrong direction.
Unless funcom fixes the present Lively villages; , they break so easy it wont make any difference. Day after the update grab your wandering thrall, slap it on the bench and done. Right back to normal. I have no lively thralls right now.
Just track them down, grab them, slap them on the bench, and they stay.
This entire Lively village thing has been a waste of time for everyone. The only thing it will effect is your thrall count.
This is the only time I’m going to say this, so I hope most of you will pass along the word to everybody else (which might include some devs incognito who happen to be reading this).
If we are to push for anything:
INSIST the devs get this right withoutrushing it.
The last thing we want is broken/bugged things in this game, much less new ones.
From the feedback I’ve been reading about testive, we seriously DO NOT want this pushed out for any reasons, what-so-ever.
I cant even get the tavern system to work at the location i build my base and i am worried about my crafters.
I don´t like the new system at all, especially since i play on a private server with a rather low follower limit.
(Which i am maxed out at the moment which means a can go on an delete a bunch of my fighters and dancers to make room for the crafter - yes that sure will make it look more lively…)
I am so NOT looking forward for that update.
Also my inventory is still bugged af and annoys me all the time…the inventory changes were another change noone asked for and it wasn´t done good or right.
I love this game, but each update makes it harder to enjoy just playing it.
The inventory and the way it is organized is a bit difficult to understand, the first few times it seemed a bit difficult to me, the last few times I’ve used it I found some way to get some use out of it, but you have to choose food, then unselect it, organize by weight, without organizing, using the organize and organize options in another way.
I think if it has any improvements, you would have to ask those who have programmed it how they use it, a video in which you can see how you can take advantage of the improvements they have implemented, also some demonstration video of how a camp is organized, but made by those who have programmed it, if they have released the BETA, I suppose that in their tests prior to launch those errors are not seen, they do not see errors due to their way of using the inventory, placing the workers, etc.
We are very MUCH not impressed. What RPers did they talk to to see what we might actually like? Because you know what most of us would have told them?
Give us CLOTHING appropriate to the setting instead of more and more armor that looks like bad WOW knockoffs.
Give us pets WITHOUT the stupid armor or at least an option to REMOVE it ourselves. (I’d have bought every damn pet in the store had they done this and I have bought the VERY FEW without armor).
Give us a range of idle emotes to choose from without charging us a fortune for each individual one.
Give us more pet emotes and emotes that allow us to interact with pets. Let us feed our horses apples and brush them. Let us pet the big pets and let us have cats sit in our laps while we pet them!
I could definitely go on… but you get the picture.
There is a bit of loop being discussed in this thread, and it doesn’t agree with SLDC. Maintenance costs usually obliterate the competition. Maintenance is the phase where authors decide to move on or document everything.
Although there’s a few missed (human error, I’ve filed 76 in total now), they are being acknowledged and in about 25% of cases I’m getting a PM or comment for more information.
but will feel like totally alone.
