At spontaneous points during the day, at the same moment everyone on the server falls through ceilings and foundations.
Everyone. On. The. Server. Often it is all thralls, which requires a lot of digging and building with over 100 archers in place. This has happened 4 times today so far …
Often this is accompanied by not being able to open doors, chests, workstations, etc.
At this protracted point, this issue is driving people away.
It could be the number of thralls you have in place causing the issue. I’ve got less than 30 combat thralls (including pets and mounts). Zero issues with them sinking through foundations. Ever. Do you seriously need 100 archers?
What else is going on on the server?
I only have 1 thrall that loads in a foundation and she is too close to two other thralls base on the old thrall proximity. But when the server gets busy I start walking trough stairs, and ceiling/floor tiles.
I usually log out then because there is a good chance the server is about to go down.
The number of archers weren’t a problem before chapter 4, don’t see why it would be now. They’re not just random thralls, good multipliers, perfected gear, level 20, etc. It’s actually ~100 archers and tar dumpers, but yeah, we do need them.
Several other people on my server have the same experience, at the same time. It’s not the number of thralls, or some variable that I can control or observe. It seems random af, but it affects everyone at the same time.
I’m not saying anything new here, this is an old issue. Scroll down.
In how small of an area?
And how many thralls do they have?
What else is going on? Other purges, events?
How many people are on the server when this happens?
Feel free to check my original thread ( a search for “falling” in bug reports will show other posts). Thanks for the questions, but this isn’t something just happening to me in particular instance, this is a global event that happens across variety of servers. I’m sorry but asking the size of my purge base or number of thralls isn’t going to get us the results we need.
I also have posted on this before and stated it is happening on our official server and as few as three of us were on at the time. We have far less than this number of thralls at our purge base but normally we were not even doing a purge or at the purge base when this happens. No one was doing a purge and it just happens. The last time it happened we were at one of our map room/teleport locations where I believe we have maybe 4-5 thralls there. It can happen when we are at our main base, purge base, teleport location, does not matter. There can be very few on the server and every time I ask if anyone was doing a purge the answer is normally no. All are just working in their bases. The falling can be a single time but more often it lasts for several minutes. You cannot do anything until it stops. I don’t think it has a thing to do with the number of thralls. It definitely has nothing to do with the number of people logged in since so few play now on our server. I cannot say what triggers it, but definitely it is happening much more often since the last update. Two times our thralls fell also but only in the area where we were at the time and the falling issue continued for several minutes. This issue needs to be addressed by Funcom. It has definitely driven people away and many are at the point of giving up.
How do I explain that it does all matter, it is all cumulative. And what everyone else is doing on the server makes a big difference.
If everyone on the server is having the same issue simultaneously it’s obviously a server issue. And since it is not constant it is something that is has specific cause. Till funcom can figure out what is causing it by knowing what all the variables are they will never be able to fix it.
Not saying it’s not how the game is running on the server, but with out finding out what all the variables are the solution wont be found. Till you know what Bob on the other side of the map is doing you can’t rule out something he is doing is causing the issue.
It’s a server strain thing. Happens on every sever I went that has 10+ players online. Seems worse when someone is running purges at the same time.
this seems to happen on 1500 when anyone renders a medium to large base built on water.
Yeah, you didn’t even look at that link did you. I’m just supposed to expectorate it for your convenience.
Happens regardless of external variables, ok? I can be alone on server, it happens. Server can be busy, it happens.
I’ve already talked to Bob, but you CBA to read up.
So, it’s still happening. A lot. Since these issues accompanied falling into foundations, it thought to share this here:
Has happened 5x today and there’s plenty of time for more. Everyone falls through building pieces, thralls and placeables become unresponsive for several minutes. Everyone on the server reported issues at the same time.
I recorded this video during a purge, every one of my thralls stopped firing and the NPCs ran in circles, for several minutes. I had to aim my gas arrows at the ground to hit something, star metal arrows passed through everything.
I’m starting to think this game has a few issues.
This evening on our official server while we were logged in (just over an hour), twice all on the server fell at same time. First time lasted just a few seconds and the second time was for several minutes. Maybe 7-8 people were logged in. Each time I asked if anyone was doing a purge and no one said they were. Since Chapter four this is a daily occurrence. This is not because some player is doing something wrong, the game has issues and needs to be fixed. We hardly play there now. We used to spend several hours there daily but now only about one hour and we leave because of this issue and so few play there. Several bases are gone because many have just given up.
I certainly fvcking hope so. I almost died earlier just trying to make my base smaller. There were 11 people on, it dropped to 4 and it was still happening.
