It’s 11:05AM ET. You’re about to knock off for the weekend. Before you do, please come forth and address the major issues and concerns with your Age of Heros release before disappearing into the weekend.
Tavernkeepers that have simply disappeared. Nothing in event logs. Just GONE. Your answer? Just go get new ones. What assurances do we have that our new tavernkeepers ALSO won’t just go poof? Why did this happen, and how can we be sure that it won’t happen again?
Artisan thralls being poisoned when placed on their respective work benches. Why? Why are you poisoning our worker thralls? Is this by design? What are you doing to address and correct the issue? When can we anticipate a fix? While we are awaiting a fix, what sort of guidance or work around would you recommend for us?
Artisan thralls enjoying their best life as a part of the Living Settlements feature are going missing, and then are eventually disappearing off of the Followers tab. Where are they going? Are artisan thralls placed in the world not safe? What direction do you have for your player community right now for their rare and cherished specialist T4 thralls that they have? Should we stop placing artisan thralls all together in the world?
These are the major issues that I’m aware of. I am certain that there are more. But as you, Funcom, should be supporting this release – it is IMPERATIVE that you address these concerns before leaving your game property for the weekend.
Do you have a hotfix planned? Do you already have fixes that are waiting in the wings for these major issues? When can we expect attention for these issues? Or are you just going to fvck off and leave em like you’ve left so many other things?
Here’s the problem with Barkeepers: [2024.10.18-14.44.08:364][ 60]ConanSandbox:Warning: ThrallActorClass was not loaded when trying to SpawnThrall. Forcing sync load of /Game/Characters/NPCs/Tavern/BP_BaseNPC_Barkeeper_Thrall The path to the Barkeeper blueprint changed. If you place a brand new Barkeeper, you’ll see a difference. New one is highlighted.
This query will fix it. Run it when the server is offline and make sure you test on a backup before modifying your real DB.
update actor_position set class = '/Game/Characters/NPCs/Tavern/BP_BaseNPC_Barkeeper_Thrall.BP_BaseNPC_Barkeeper_Thrall_C'
where class = '/Game/Systems/Tavern/NPCs/BP_BaseNPC_Barkeeper_Thrall.BP_BaseNPC_Barkeeper_Thrall_C';
The only thing I want immediately is for the fatalities to change back to the triggering they had before. It’s too easy to trigger then and now combat is a PiA.
they certainly do not seem to care about us. My artisan thralls disappearing upset me, it may sound foolish but I worked hard to get them and now they’re gone.
Yeah… this has been a poorly rolled out content release and the beta phase has been too short and not used the way it should have.
Kudos where kudos are due, for the people who submitted dozens of bug reports and whoever voiced their anticipation of this situation.
Also kudos to Funcom to -some- initiatives such as disabling objects for thralls to interact with and giving a server option to turn off the new thrall mechanic. However just from reading alone i can conclude that this has been among one of the most counterproductive unoptimized content rollouts i have seen. I am including MMOs i have beta tested for that (no surprise) went belly-up.
Seriously, this scale of loss and poor performance is unacceptable. Then there’s several severe bugs that have been plaguing the official servers for nearly a full year now.
I am sad to say, i wanted to give it a chance and reserved my negativity but i am just going to refresh my bases at this point. I am not placing any of my T4 damage / armor thralls down and will just simply wait, but i have to say i lost my patience. Too many workarounds and embarassing things to find enjoyment in regular frequent gameplay any longer.
I still love this game for what it already has at its core and could potentially be, but actually PLAYING it even as an informed long time player is just starting to trigger moments of disappointment too often.
I’ll still keep an eye out but honestly, i might just lose interest again. I am sure plenty people already have that don’t visit forums.
