I noticed that crafter thralls sometimes go missing. I found one in the 0,0,0 position, floating in the air in G9. The tracking marker for the others did not show up at all. I managed to rescue a few but some disappeared / died before I noticed they were gone. Anyone else experienced this?
It’s a pretty serious issue especially since some thralls can be expensive or hard to find.
Yep. Everyone is.
I am trying to raise player community awareness about this issue. If you aren’t able to recall or rescue them, I believe that they are all in for a grim fate. Please see the guidance I’ve shared regarding not placing artisan thralls:
can anyone please tell me a specific T4 thrall that went missing? I need to know an exact one so I can see if they’re missing in the same way bartenders are, and I don’t have an example from my server to test with.
Fakad Hide-Stretcher (vanilla I think), Seti the Keyholder (Restricted Exiles) and the Lone Fisherman. But they did spawn correctly, they just wander off after a while
Only going to be able to fix that by rescuing, or if it doesnt work, relocating them in the database.
Rescue already failed me a few times “cannot find thrall”
There is an option to disable Living Settlements on the server. Does anyone know what that does exactly?
I’ve just started using that option. Playing single player, so have backed up my game just in case it does not work. Will post as soon as I know anything.
A couple of posts here mention the setting does not work. Looking forward to hearing your experience.
We’ve turned the setting on; it does seem to prevent the thralls from wandering about. They go missing fairly quickly, so hopefully soon we can confirm that this setting prevents that from happening
Just found out about this the hard way, thanks Cauthey.
Sorry to hear it.
I tried. I really tried. I was vocal and abrasive with the Funcom folks. I tried to get information from the fan Discord. I went and assembled my own information. And now that, and some other player-assembled information is the Funcom “formal response.”
Sorry for any impacts to your artisan team. Hopefully you’ll be able to replace who you lost quickly.
Bench thralls, no problem. We put out our extra ones (not the good ones). Barkeeps on the other hand, that took a few hours to replace exactly what we had. I appreciate the effort Cauthey.
Idk, I just placed a smelter and performing as promised and as bonus her bonuses are applying to multiple furnaces which is great. If she’s in a house up in hill with no door, 2 furnaces a cot and a campfire. She seems content and she’s hella cute when she gets in the cot 
Thrall Lives Matter. Don’t treat your thralls like slaves and then maybe they won’t leave you.
So 1 day later with Living Settlements turned off, and all thralls are still exactly where we parked them. No thralls at 0,0 either.
Did you have missing thralls and they popped back on the map after turning off? I placed mine within an hour of the AOH drop and now all of them are in limbo.
So my T4 bench thralls quit disappearing after I took away their weapons and armor. Not sure if one of those actions stopped the bleeding or if Funcom made a change somewhere.
No way, no how. Funcom is busy enjoying their weekend right now.
That’s true, they don’t play their own game. I have never seen any member of any development team actually want to use the software they were part of creating. And Funcom definitely doesn’t break that mold.
Based on further feedback from others, it doesn’t seem like any of my actions were of any consequence. It was a coincidence that my unarmed, naked thralls quit disappearing for the time being.
