soloing the surge isn’t the main problem i see cause i do it a lot … all of them a few times over… but its the farming for the greater and normal that’s the pain and tends to not wana do surges cause of what ya have to go threw to get the stuff to do them… i understand they should come from storm creatures . i don’t mind farming the storm but the way to get greater has to be changed… and maybe the timer of the storm changed , like have longer time it’s up and longer time between, cause to be honest its to to much at times… seems back to back when you trying to do stuff…
I forget sometimes i play on a private server and we extended the storm to 40 minutes duration and 2 hours breaks. Thats prolly also why i like it that much.
Well I didn’t say it was a problem , I said it was a chalenge , furthermore for someone that started to play not very long ago . But the hassle of farming ??? is more in understanding how the mechanics works than actually farming it once you understand how to do it efficiently . there is a learning curve if you don’t spoil yourself with youtube tutorials that is long indeed , anyways it’s almost of the past since all of this changes in 2.3
Farming for greater ??? Is easy once you have around 10 levelled fighters. Just extend a line of blocks out from a 410+ structure, place the thralls at the end of it and occasionally move them around as blocks are slowly destroyed. I usually get 21-23 Greater each time.

i know that its easy to farm them i use 6 thralls when i do it and i get around 18 greater per storm, i mean we shouldn’t have to do that just to get the greater… its a pain to always move the thralls back and forth and replacing foundations… specially if you go into attack build and then once the storm is over you have to farm the mats back to replace what was broken in the storm to trigger it again… yes i know how easy it is to kill them bosses in the storm to farm the greaters i do it also… just saying we shouldn’t have to go threw them measures to get the greater???.
So I play on my own server and my main base is in the heart of the storm. I’d also turned off siege beasts, because I did not like the idea of having my base destroyed. This “extend a line of block” method would apply to a base built outside the storm and extending it into the storm? Am I assuming correctly?
see that’s just it I never play private server or solo single player servers always play on officials so that’s what ya have to do on them to get the greater
Yes, I agree. I don’t know why they won’t always return to their starting positions. We want them striking with physical force, not mental abjection. Maybe they find it too grueling 
Getting 18 with 6 thralls is really good though 
I might try leaving them in scouting mode and see what they do next time. As for the mats you only need to use a single line of T1 sandstone or flotsam.
Apprently this thrall isnt capturable so im dumb andthe complain below isnt valid:)
So its pretty much as I feared: after the update nearby our base is a small npc camp. There is like 6 npc, trivial to kill and you can get a guaranteed level4 named taskmaster, he is everytime there, respawning. If other camps have other specialities of named thrall why would you ever want to do maelstorms and leyshrines which are like 10 times as difficult?And with those thralls so easy to get imho for many poeple it will hasten the time where there is nothing more to do ingame.
For me its as if in Diablo on second screen you would get guaranteed highest level bestest gear, nothing left to loot in all the rest of the game. I would risk an opinion that for many poeple 50 % of diablos fun would be gone.I dont understand the thinking behind this, i really dont.Why at least not make only level 1-3 thralls in camps or level 1-level 4 but not named , so named ones are available only in leyshrines.We with my friend we agreed not to use those easy thralls but it feels weird to have to enforce some abstract rules to enjoy the game.
This is the named taskmaster up in the tower in the camp on the eastside?
No , its the one south center east, on this little sand island on the ocean coast, the ending of a tiny desert streak inland
Is he called “Jailor”?
yes
You may want to try to capture him before you decide they’re giving away T4 Taskmasters

I do know of one dedicated T4 taskmaster spawn on the east side.

Ok i was sure he looked like a capturable Thrall. I look a bit dumb now lol. Complaint removed, tough i imagine i might still be right, even if i was wrong in this case
Yes. I captured him on testlive. Something something troll something.
Actually, i just saw a post from Biggins that he can’t be knocked out even though he looks like he should be thrallable. I thralled him a month so, so I guess things have changed.
