Okay - I have 3000ish hours under my belt in this game but I still don’t understand some aspects of the event log and some of the confusing/inconsistent messaging. For example, It has only been recent that I realized meteors can kill thralls because the message is something like: “name has been killed by .” It took me a long time to understand what was going on. I literally had to log in at the time a meteor was striking the area so this went on for months/years.
More recently, I just lost a thrall when I was offline and the message was: "name has died. " Usually when I lose a thrall it explains what killed him/her, for exampe: “name was killed by Stygian Fighter III” I am curious as to what would be the cause of the plain message: “name has died.” There is something I am missing because the messages have to be programmed in a way that would be consistent and I’m not seeing the pattern.
I’m asking because the AI is pretty terrible still and when you’re offline thralls do funny things like not attack when being attacked and just dying even though they have 10K+ health and full epic armor and a sword of crom and what not. I’m trying to insulate myself from this flaw as much as possible and this message is so ambiguous I’m at a loss of what to make of it.
