I had a Greater Elephant (renamed Apples) completely disappear from the game/server. I generally use them to transfer large quantities of items. I often will fill them up and leave them in a safe place. Then I will kill myself and go do something else until the thrall/pet returns home. In this case, 3500+ tar plus 3500+ mixture of leather and thick leather.
It did not die and it is no longer in the game followers list, it’s just gone.
In the log it does not show the pet dying or returning home. It’s just gone.
I went to my Tannery outpost with Apples to check to see if the hides had finished crafting into leathers/tar. They were. According to the log, I finished emptying all Tanneries at 2020.06.17-10:19.41. I dumped the inventory into Apples, put the remaining tar and leathers into a large chest and then removed my bracelet to return to my main bass at 2020.06.17-10:20:15. I didn’t order him to guard or stop following, I just removed my bracelet. I checked on some other things and returned later to notice that Apples didn’t return home, so I checked where I left him. He wasn’t there either. I checked the logs and saw he didn’t die. I went back to my base; still didn’t return. I went to the followers list to try and track him but he wasn’t even in the list. I tried to log out/in still nowhere in the game and followers list. He’s just gone.
The slogan for Conan Exiles is “Survive. BUILD. Dominate.” It’s impossible to Survive or Dominate if you don’t build; and you can’t build without grinding to establish a stash of resources. It’s very discouraging to grind a full day to have about 1/3 of your work just vanish.
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
- Have thrall/pet follow
- Fill thrall with resources.
- Die without setting thrall/pet to guard or stop following
- Pet disappears
