So I hopped on my private server to test out some of the Chapter 3 content, and all I can say is “meh”

Funcom really hyped up being able to attack a castle but it wasn’t all that good. NPCs keep spawning out of nowhere making any progress nearly impossible: You can’t stand still long enough to plan the many, many explosive jars you’ll need to blast your way through the multiple doors, as mobs will continue to spawn next to you every few seconds. This doesn’t really mimic the PvP raiding experiece as players do not have endlessly spawning thralls. The castle itself is huge, but only a tiny portion of it is actually used for your attack run. Bring lots of explosive jars as you’ll be blasting through 3 gates and at least two sets of normal doors (while fighting off the above mentioned endlessly spawning NPCs). Probably not something you want to try if you play solo (at least without summoning an Avatar perhaps)

The reward for successfully fighting your way through an endlessly spawning legion of NPCs is a few piles of gold and that’s about it. No epic weapons and/or armor, no rare materials or schematics, just a couple thousand gold coins. If you want to continue to stuff your coffer that’s good I suppose…or grind them down to make gold dust…

Still having troubles getting a purge to trigger. I built a simple “purge base” on a wide, flat area and managed to trigger a purge exactly once. All subsequent attempts to trigger a purge resulted in a message that the purge can’t find a place to set up. What about the place they set up the first time? Regardless, this means that I cannot “free the barkeep” so the tavern content is locked off unless I want to be constantly building, destroying and then rebuilding treasure vaults around the map…

The battle pass items were really uninspiring, tucking the bar you need to build your tavern a few levels down, forcing you to grind to access the new content that you can’t use anyway until you manage to find a spot that the purge is willing to attack…

Thanks for the buff to dancers. I finally got Syra Brennerhet again… and she’s much more well-endowed! :rofl:

Yeah… the loot in the siege is pretty anticlimactic. The recipes are all from the esoteric library. I probably won’t be doing another until it gets updated.

In regards to the barkeeper, it should be able to have some growth. If the point of having them as a follower is to allow for them to fight as well, I want to have a benefit to it. Otherwise, they’re only to allow thrall customization. Not the greatest compromise if they’re gonna eat into follower counts.

Also, the corner seat on the bar is facing wrong.


Edit: seems that the thralls spawn in weird sometimes. Others were floating or inside the bar.

I have an issue with the tavern.
No one is showing up.
Tables and chairs everywhere.
I try several settings, nothing seems to work.

You have the bar keeper in place? Its working for me on 3052.

Also have noticed that if the tavern door is closed the npcs gather around the building.

Probably you are just bad at running taverns. Not everyone is good at business. Try farming? :slight_smile:

I have 2 bases ones my main base pve village the other is just a doc. My main base tavern only has one person that comes the other is full. My real issue is I can not hire anyone, no option come up (only option that comes up is to move the chair) is this a known issue and will it be fix ?

Anyone else noticed the A of W 3 bug wherein you CANNOT RESCUE CAGED THRALLS anymore but only attack them, as will your followers. That’s not how I got my 3 named bearers, Funcom :rage:

PvE official #8080 Siptah

I haven’t checked on siptah yet as I haven’t built my purge base yet (#8064). I have a character on 8080, but its level is pretty low, so I doubt I’ll be able to test a purge yet. The population was heavily impacted on day one release, so I quit it after like one or two days. No issues that I noticed on exiled lands.

Thralls are constantly sinking into the floor upon server reset. This is primarily happening at my new tavern I built right before the update. It’s built with a combination of fence foundations and ceiling tiles (like most of my bases). I know this has been a bug for a long time, but it’s literally happening EVERY server reset. I’m constantly having to move them back onto the floor.

I have this same problem on PS5. And I play single player, so every time I log in, the first thing I have to do is pull thralls back up to floor level. I only use foundations for ground level floors though, no post and ceilings, and it still happens. I’m sad to see it happens with ceiling tiles too, as I had considered rebuilding that way to stop it from happening. Guess not. Very annoying.

I also saw a thrall sunk into the ground almost completely submerged into the mesh.

Just discovered they lowered the building height limit 98 foundations. Was going to do some more decorating on my throne room and I get an Invalid Building Location message. Ran down stairs until it allowed building and new limit is 218 foundations above sea level. Now I definitely have the tallest tower in the exiled lands.

Anyone else lose all weapons and armors? My sister got back on after update. She is missing all armor and weapons, thralls missing their weapons, all knowledge points reset. I liad in co op with ger and i have everything except now I’m getting a 30 second timer.

We are playing from her ps4 single pkayer co op. My world from my single pkayer has no problems that ive encountered yet. Any ideas?

PvE Siptah Official #8080

I seem to have found another glitch after Age of War Chap 3:
After I’ve died & recovered my gear from my corpse, I am MISSING both my Voidforge gladius & Voidforge bow. All other inventory is intact as it should be, only those 2 weapons disappear.

This has happened twice now, after dying from a fall & in combat. I’ve exited the game & restarted but that doesn’t make the Voidforge items reappear.
Since I always use those 2 weapons, I’m going to get very annoyed if I have to craft them every time I die…which means I’ll need to grind for more Eldarium.

Comments or fixes please?
