When did thralls ever die of hunger?

2019

Thralls/pets still die of hunger; official server

Game mode: Online official Type of issue: Bug, i guess Server type: PvE-Conflict, #1821 Region: Americas, east coast #1821 tamed thralls still die/diappear of maybe (?) hunger. I log in daily, i usually still feed animals and toss honey to humans. But some time in the last 2-3 days(?) A t4/named thrall, 2 rhinos, 2 totem bears, and 2 totem versions of the gorilla turtle/sleestak things are just gone. The named thrall disappeared with legendary, armor, etc., to boot. Any idea what i might be…

there was many many post regarding this issues,

@DeaconElie

Yes please find that link because thrall pots have never been disabled.

the hunger system was disabled, they used to die before. (it tells me you were not around those dates)

@Tascha

The Hunger System (the need to constantly feed thralls and pets) has been removed. Because it wasn’t really what we had envisioned and while some players liked the system, many more perceived it as an unnecessary grind.

Thralls and pets bugged after 1.40 update

The Pet and Thrall Hunger System has indeed been adjusted since March. There were parts being adjusted and removed in little batches and gradually, after the decision to replace the initial system with the new one. How it was communicated in the patch notes was not ideal and we apologize for that. Here is how it currently works: The Hunger System (the need to constantly feed thralls and pets) has been removed. Because it wasn’t really what we had envisioned and while some players liked the sys…

@DeaconElie

You do get they just removed the thrall list from the pot, they didn’t disable the pot.

that was part of the old hunger system.

@DeaconElie

I’m playing on the beta server, game plays as well as it ever has. The majority of the bugs being reproted are in game now.

sure such as thralls vanishing or the wandering system crashing and thralls stopping , some dissapearing from the players view (among others?) but i agree some of the bugs we are seeing at testlive, are already present in the game, old bugs that never got resolved,. this system is built upon a flawed foundation, that is why you are seeing so many issues.

@DeaconElie

Are the companion quests buggy or not very intuitive, or explained well?

this does not worries me, it will get fixed eventually , however the servers does not have the resources to run the settlement system as implemented, not on a massive scale, (it might work better in SP or really small clans, it will not on large ones).. they could have accomplished the same objectives with thrall already deployed, without messing around with a system that works pretty well and has been working well for YEARS!
