Bug Description:
Three to four T4 crafter thralls (approximately half of the thralls I placed) that I placed to my base after the age of heroes update(I put all crafters to chests in preparation to the update) have vanished from my base. They seemed to work fine and walk about as designed for a couple hours. But after few log-ins and/or loading the base few times, they vanished. The vanished crafters stop supporting their crafting benches when that happens.
The thralls show as ‘returning home’ in the thrall list. I was able to rescue couple thralls with the rescue command (they lost their gear), but one thrall gave an error message that it couldn’t be rescued.
My base is fully enclosed (no doors or gates to the outside, entrance via a transportory stone) and has a bunch of chairs, beds, thrall pot, etc items inside for the thralls to interact with. It is built into one of the ruined tunnel-like structures in exiled lands. It has multiple floors with stairs. In my opinion there is enough space that thralls wont get stuck easily. I have a throne and a bed I have declared off-limits to the thralls.
I just had another case of a vanishing thrall since yesterday. They were placed in my base, and worked fine yesterday. This morning it was “returning home” and when I tried to rescue it, I got “Follower cannot be found”. I restarted the game, and upon second log-in, the follower had vanished from the thrall list as well.
The “living bases” will be very empty soon if thralls simply vanish to thin air every time I log in.
Mine just straight up say they died in the log. Encampment is walled off and I have defenses in the yard. I.e. greater animals and they just all of a sudden die.
This afternoon the T4 armorer Grr Legbiter is now “returning home” and it cant be rescued because “a thrall was attacked” and there is a 9 minute cooldown? My base has no way out of it, its entirely enclosed. And nobody was attacked while I was logged out surely?
Additionally, now I have a vanished blacksmith that is still in the list, “guarding”, but is nowhere to be found and doesnt provide bonus to the blacksmith table. This is a first. I wonder what is it guarding and where.
When I enable the blacksmiths marker on the map, it is nowhere. No marker can be found.
They are most likely at G9 being attacked by wolves. If they are on the ground. If not they are floating in the sky. There’s a huge group of crafter thralls on every server just floating there
I am in the same boat, placed 8, t4’s. geared all but 1 up, now have 5 returning home, and 3 others that say guarding, but cannot find any of them via find thrall. I now can’t craft a damn thing with any bonuses. I had placed them just an hour or so after the AOH dropped, so had no clue about this issue. I honestly hope they reset back to before AOH dropped, and wait longer for a real fixed release.
Same issue with my blacksmith. I left the base for about 2 in-game days. When I returned, it said he was guarding but was nowhere to be seen. His map marker was missing. I turned on admin and teleported to 0,0,0 (on Siptah) to see if he was there, but nope. I restarted the server to see if that would snap him out of his disappearing act. Nope. I was able to view his stats in the follower screen, but shortly after, he completely disappeared. There is nothing in the event log in game.
My server log shows the below which is around the time he disappeared but whether that’s him or some other broken thing in this game, I can’t be sure.

And, as others have mentioned, assigning crafters no longer works for the journey steps. Icing on the cake.
Age of Heroes: Abandoned Settlements.
In our Abandoned Settlement update, your crafter thralls will become confused, bewildered, leave their bases and workstations, and go as far away from them as possible. You as the Hero will have to walk around and check every chair, lamp, fireplace, brazier, crafting station, bed, ale keg, and don’t forget toilets, to get your crafters back in line.
But that’s not all! We have more for you. Aside from the hours of new gameplay there you will then have to contend with the mystery … of their … DISAPPEARANCE …
Your thralls will all mysteriously begin to wander away from your base … some will be teleported away by a mysterious force. Some will be floating high in the air. Some will disappear beneath the very surface of the world - never to be found again. But what is the cause of this mystery? What strange sorcery will be at the source of this chaos as it unfolds? And mostly, will you be able to get them back … ever?
We at FUNCOM can’t wait to unleash this tried and tested patch to our loyal Exiles. Through this patch Age of Heroes: Abandoned Settlements. aims to bring the community together not in celebration but in OUTRAGE!
