When riding up elevators that are high the bearers seem to die by the time you get to the top. Not sure if they are trying to ride the elevator with you and they fall through the bottom of the elevator. Usually when I get up to the top they are dead and not sure why or where. This has happened multiple times to many thralls that follow you while riding an elevator.
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
1.Place elevator at maximum height.
2. Have Bearer or Thrall follow you.
3. Ride elevator to top and exit into base.
High elevators are death traps for thralls and this will happen alot when they are following you up or down one. The thrall/pet will try and catch up to you and fall to there death.
A way around this is to tell your thrall to stop following you and the select the move and guard placement on them, ride the elevator, then place the thrall safely on the ground and the finally tell them to follow you again. Takes time but is the safest way to avoid deaths from such a reason
We’re aware of the issue with thralls dying when attempting to follow players that use elevators and the team is looking into it, apologies for the inconvenience.
The workaround CrimsonDrake1984 has kindly suggested should allow you to safely avoid this issue in the meantime.
