Bug Description:
Most of my crafter thralls disappeared after a bit of gameplay, they simply are no more, my work stations do not register them… just poof. Were talking T4, crazy hard to get thralls such as GRRR Legbiter, which took me weeks of work, plase help, I need these replaced, or informed if it is just my issue, or is it a widespread horrible, hideous bug. Dammit… Vulfeles the Hammer… sigh.
Bug Reproduction:
Found them, via the follower list, they were all floating very high up in the sky up in the wild north at coordinate zero, all bunched up into one, had I not have admin access there is no way in hell I could have pulled them down one by one, there are many of them, now I have to respec and carry them back to base, but this is unacceptable, what if I wasn’t the admin?
Folks, I have read many posts about keeping the artisans on a pose, therefore virtually disabling Living Settlements (Not to mention making our efforts to prepare, build, or re-build our bases null); therefore I would ask the community to try this, if you feel you are interested, and see if we can work around this hellish rendering of code.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I haven’t had a dog in this fight almost ever since after I reported this bug. My arguments have been on behalf of folk that are helpless at this time. I was fortunate enough to have spent my scant 3000 hours of gameplay in Single Player so I was able to op out of Living Settlements in the first tab of Settings (fish a little), break bond with every crafter, even if they survived the rapture, replace the exact cadre of artisans, and end the mess altogether early on.
Well, here we go, at least they are having the common decency of sparing the official players from their greed, mediocrity and absolute lack of professionalism and work ethics; they are turning off their super-duper, uber new feature “Leaving Settlements” on our poor brothers and sisters in Official Servers off… at frigging last!!! Seeeeesh that took long enough, but those thralls, the ones you spent months… hell, even years gathering, at something like .2 chance of spawning, they are lost for good, and there is not a damn thing Funcom is going to do about that, you are, henceforth, screwed. But you can rest easy now, if you are on Official, because they have at least acknowledged, eons after they should have, that I, for one, am sick and frigging tired of being their free beta tester! I am not a f^%ing Guiney pig, dammit!.
