Lost crafters (at least some of them, can’t guarantee whether it would be all of them) are spawning at 0, 0 (pictured)
They FLOAT in a group but randomly drop to the ground (I assume it’s when there are too many up there? Not sure) and are attacked by the surrounding mobs.
Going to this point on the map and building up to the floaters can SAVE YOUR THRALLS. You can retrieve them and have them follow you home or even just retrieve them and build them a mini hut to survive in until you can rescue them.
Either way, it’s something. In one of the servers I play in I’ve built an outpost with a “ladder” to the sky floaters and a short barrier around the 6-8 that are on the ground to protect them. I’m aware that structures at 0, 0 sometimes vanish so that’s also something that I’m curious if it will happen.
TL;DR: go to the spot pictured to maybe potentially possibly hopefully rescue your crafters!
I went to the Followers panel and, i dunno, i think I touched the map on/off and triggered something. I haven’t reproduced it, but my armorer reappeared in my base.
I love this new Age. Exciting new retrieve-your-lost-thrall minigame to play until the next patch. It’s awesome they released it right before the weekend, gives us a fun activity we all get to do in the game while they are on break.
Anyone try making a massive Argossean observatory where you can observe your thralls launching into orbit and to the outer dark? Or an Argossean space elevator up to this position? Perfect opportunity for the new building set!
I do think that players constructing ways to reach floating lost thralls would be helpful but again I think people have reported in the past having structures at 0, 0 suddenly lose stability and whatnot so I definitely wouldn’t put a lot of resources into it. Hopefully this gets a fix soon
Yep. I built a bit of a jank ass ramp on our private server. There were two thralls up there. But it wasn’t easy to determine who they belonged to. Will keep tuned in, I suppose. Thank you for your pictumentary. I am glad that AndyB linked your guide to give players options to retrieve their peeps. I just wonder if they will need to keep retrieving their folks over and over. Or if it’s the sort of thing where once thralls have visited the vortex 0,0,0, they start to behave. Lol.
Happily we have the option to switch ‘Living Settlements’ on Solo and Private servers, and hopefully that will sort things out until the patch/hotfix. This likely does not help console/non-PC players.
At least we can be sure that there has likely been much screaming, shouting, weeping, wailing, and rending of hair over at Funcom, and that there are either some/all Dev and Support staff not having a weekend for now.
Every Update has needed patches and hotfixes. All of them. This is not unexpected - and this is not an excuse, it is just a thing (an annoying thing).
Time to water the kids and tend to the garden for now. As I am of age, I may even drink it all pretty.
Don’t write off their AWOL status yet as a patch may fix that
Discord suggest it’s likely. Running Solo and disabling the new thrall system is a popular thing right now, until patch. Same with private servers, not all, but some.
I also noticed this morning that there was no server restart. I’m on official PlayStation. Server was last restarted yesterday Oct 18th at 3:10 am. Nothing for today Oct 19th
