Pride comes before the fall

Dear Funcom,

With the Exiled lands and with the Siptah expansion you created a game that brings joy to many players. A complicated game, that came with great features and annoying bugs.

Since Living Settlements the bugs are every day and on every official server the ‘talk of the town’. Players keep loosing named crafters due to your bug, the bug you created when you launched Living settlements.

I was looking forward, although I never asked for it, neither did I miss a feature like it. But, the enthusiastic develeopers where strong in their believe and you launched it.

As every major update, it was far from flawless and many players lost hard earned t4’s. Not 1 or 2, but many!

You even had, after a stream of complaints, the smart idea to turn Living settlements of on the officials. That was wise.

Now, because you hoped that the bug was fixed, it is running again and many, yes many, players are loosing named crafters and gear on a daily base. You have been asked on this forum to turn Living settelemts of, but you refuse or don’t care anymore.

I don’t get it. I payed many times, bought DLC and Coins, every eur I spent worked fine, didn’t dissapear, nor fail you to pay the bills. So why do you keep failing me and why do you not fullfill a simple request to restore the bug, untill you worked out how to fix your new feature. A featrue I didn’t ask for, nor something I missed.

What I do miss, are my named artisans.

Is it pride? Is is lack of enthusiasm? Is it lack of interest in your players and the feedback you get? Did you loose interest, because Dune is soon to be released?

I will not buy Dune, nor will I spend more real money to you. Because things go 2 ways, a good product gets a loyal customer, willing to pay. A bad product with lack of interest in customer support looses incame, sooner then later.

I wish you well, this is my last message on this forum, I lost interest,

Pazsu.

To this day players are still losing thralls.
If you’re on singleplayer, co-op or admin a private server, you have the ability to disable it.
On Officials we’re SOL and no amount of begging and feedback has had an affect on the powers that be.

Here’s a bunch of forum posts asking to turn off Living Settlements on Official servers:

I experienced a new wrinkle in the disappearing thralls saga a couple days ago.

On a private server with all aspects of pvp turned off I had a shieldwright suddenly stop registering in the armorer’s bench. Quick look at the followers list showed her there but greyed out as if out of range.

Clicked the eyeball to show her on the map and it showed her at a spot where I had a chair just outside my base. I stepped out to look and some other thrall was sitting in said chair with the shieldwright nowhere to be seen. I have to wonder if both thralls tried to sit in the same chair and that borked it somehow.

I tried to rescue her but it said they had recently been attacked and I had to wait eight minutes. She then disappeared from the followers list before the eight minutes were up. Checking the event log showed her as having been killed by another player. Wtaf… The only other player online at that time was the server owner who admin spawned a new one for me after I showed him a screenshot of the event log.

Server is modded so that could be a factor. Still very strange.

I am terriblynlucky for now. My thralls haven’t disappeared since the hotfix. I thought that had fixed the matter but I read this and now I know I’ve just been lucky, so far.

100% agree!
Dune will be 2 no go for for 2 main reasons, pvp only end game and the way FC is handling Conan. Those 2 things are making the Conan PVP MMO Rskin, sorry Dune a hard pass for me

Crazy if the “vanishing thralls” bug is still going on after all these months…

Fastest way to find out is go to 0,0,0 and look up.
Or watch the area as you run up to it for droppers.
