I looked over my coffer for the first time on Siptah but did not “Proclaim Wealth” as it was set for a level 7 purge. I took out all the gold bars and it went to level 4 and I left. An hour later the purge horn sounded while I was at another base. There was no marker on the map showing where the purge would be and no timer but I returned to my hoard site and prepared for attack. About 30 minutes later the horn sounded but no one came until I went out and fired on the group of Accursed where they stood at the spawn point. They followed me back to the base where my thralls met them at the gate and we killed them.

The purge didn’t end and I went searching again until I found a second group on the opposite side of the base just standing at the spawn point. Once again I had to fire on them to get them to attack but this time they only came a few at a time and my cats and I killed them all off. That triggered a second wave and after I went out and killed the group at the first spawn point again the purge ended once I had looted all them.

All the loot was armor and war paint from the Forgotten Clan and two star metal weapons. Not a Stygian invader among them. About the only thing that worked properly was the Improved Dismantling Bench once again puts items in the dismantle pane instead of the inventory when I use it.

The night before I had a purge on the full game from a clan of Berserkers in the Exiled Lands that breached my gates and gave me a worthwhile battle without a hitch. It started within 2 minutes after I filled the purge bar, did the appropriate amount of damage to my base and dropped the expected amount of loot. Bottom line is you have a lot of things to fix before the new purge system even gets back to par with the old one. Once again you’ve tried fixing something that worked fine for me and now it’s broken. I’m waiting to see what happens when chapter 2 goes live and I have my hoard at my original base that’s just inside the no purge zone in an undefended structure. I play single player with no mods and had worked hard to bring the cult to my base twice before the zone was ever implemented the first time. Will the new system follow the rules when I activate it inside the zone? I guess I’ll have to wait and see when it goes live.
