I suggest devs look at turning the ability to pack up our thralls back on a week before implementing the new system so people can store their thralls.
They can redeploy them after implementation when they feel comfortable with it.
The mechanic to packing up our thralls was in game before we used to do it. Let us do it again in a time limited basis a week before and that should lessen peoples anxiety about managing and learning the new system when its implemented.
I am not in favor of this new implementation because I thinks its just to much micro management but if i can pack up my thralls prior I can at least tinker with it when implemented.
I don’t mind losing all the dalinsia snowhunters and Cimmerian bersekers I have. Got plenty in storage now.
But I don’t want to lose senk the pillow dancer or the now unfindable mei the blade.
Private servers won’t have too much issue, as they can install the Pickup+ mod and have them picked up, but for official servers it hasn’t been a thing for some time. Hopefully that ability is still somewhere in the code and hasn’t been annexed.
@Funcom, I don’t mean to be fear mongering, but this is a valid concern. It was bugged when it hit testlive, and I will try to replicate it again on Solo after the next patch, but not all fixes for Solo works on a big server.
Sorry, I was referencing what someone else had claimed it did earlier in the post. I didn’t have admin (b/c I didn’t want it) on the server I was in using it, so wasn’t aware of it’s full capability or lack thereof.
It won’t be done because it can’t be done. I bet they lost the functionality of storing combat thralls when they introduced the inventory system for them. They probably couldn’t figure out how to reclaim a thrall without losing its inventory so they took the lazy way out and removed the ability altogether.
They are doing the same thing with the feeding system. They can’t find a way to make it where you don’t have to feed thralls but you have to feed pets so now we will have to feed both.
Bought this game on PS4 on release. Quit because the game is broken. Come back every now and then to see if the state of the game improved, but from what I have reading it’s even worse. A shame really, the game had potential.
Yep, apparently things having an inventory means they can’t be moved. Which sounds like a pretty rotten excuse to me (I don’t doubt the truthfulness of it, but it doesn’t seem like something that couldn’t be done).
Ah from what I remember when we first started playing dress up with our thralls in EA you could still right click em and send em to inventory. It was later that you got stuck not being able to move em.
Hoping someone can verify this. - it was a while ago.
With pickup + you can store thralls in your inventory or in a box.
But …
Every fighter/archer need to get naked and disarmed.
This means 5 armor-pieces from head to feet and the melee-weapon + bow and at least 1 arrow in case of an archer need to changed into the inventory of the player.
Alone with 5 heavy armor pieces for a melee-thrall I go very slow.
