PS4 - Age of War Chapter 3 Update Discussion Megathread

I have the same problem on 8016, all the voidforge weapons disappear on death from my inventory. Started using different weapons. I’m really waiting when they release a fixing update for these issues. Camel hasn’t got slot for saddle, voidforge weapons, etc.

Have to comment on the patch fixes today.

  • Setting this to “true” will upon server startup destroy any building piece with no stability

Gotta say that this brought a huge smile to my face and the server restart this AM would just rain mats from heaven. I had to go in early so I didn’t get to see any of it but would love it if anyone has screenshots of gigantic santa size bags of goodies floating down from the sky.

  • Yamatai Floor Pillow is now located in the “Decorative” category in the construction hammer menu to avoid confusion about functionality

I think you guys missed the mark here. It wasn’t about confusion it was about cultural accuracy. These are supposed to be seating and while that may be a bit of a problem for the game as seating is more Westernized with chairs, the expectation (regardless on where you put the category of the floor pillow) is thta this is seating. Hey blame the original designer that thought Yamatai would be a great culture to bring in the game. I love the idea of the set but it’s a bit more work than just reskinning current elements.

Later remark: Ok from another thread, @den said this pillow sitting will be fixed. Let the reign of level headed judgement begin…or not.

  • Vanquishing Commander Bak-Nimlot now provides less XP

Figures. Can we please get a way to fast level thralls because that is one of the single most unappealing grinds in the game. If I couldn’t fast level thralls, it would be hard for me to enjoy the higher level purges. Maybe tablets of power can be consumed by the thrall to get the next level (so that means you need 100 power fragments to level the thrall which isn’t necessarily an easy task to do in itself)

  • Commander Bak-Nimlot is now always audible over other sounds

Ugh. Really? I mean I can hear him down at the base of the building and sometimes I can hear him twice and you made him louder?

  • Purge Demolishers have been toned down
    Can someone confirm this did NOT affect the battering ram that players can use?

The huge xp from killing the boss in the fortress was the only good thing about it, you actually got something for defeating him. Now it’s just the same trash you can get anywhere over and over again. But hey, after many years the wait is over. Camels can finally be used as mounts! I’m happy, this is the one good thing that has happened to the game in a LONG time.

It should also be noted that if they planned on players setting thralls down using the sitting emotes, guess what? You can’t place them close together. This was a terrible idea. It’s fine if you want one thrall at the table I guess. :roll_eyes:

Players beware the purge… If you die, you will lose everything because nothing spawns back in. Not your corpse, not your base and not your circle of power. Need a way to terminate the purge early.

Tried running a grid away in a failed attempt to get the items to render in. Tried removing the bracelet forcing a respawn. Nothing worked.

I run a lot of purges, sometimes several a day. I die every now and then, but have always been able to find my corpse. Sometimes it takes a bit for my armor to render on my character, but at least it gets picked up.

This latest ‘hotfix’ has fixed something so it behaves this horrible way. Now they need a hotfix for the hotfix.

PS; this happened on a level 5 purge with a PS5.

Ahh yes ok, if you pick up the camel from the pen, don’t place it. Instead, go into your personal crafting menu, scroll to the bottom and you’ll see a crafting camel mount option that requires sorcerous pet food. Click that and you will craft the camel mount with the saddle option after you place it on the ground.

Hope that makes sense.

Actually there is a workaround. Place a thrall, set a desired emote. Then make him follow you, order him to go somewhere distant and make him stop. Then place another thrall next to a spot where you placed a previous thrall. Then order the first thrall to return and make it stop following you. The thrall will switch to scouting mode and will return to the assigned spot some time later.

Yes, I know this trick. Problem is, they say they fixed the ability for thralls to return EXACTLY how you placed them, but they don’t. So, no… this isn’t going to work exactly how you say. They’ll likely end up turned around or not even sitting correctly on the pillow. The only way this will work is if you have distance purposely adjusted, which isn’t the case on official, nor most servers.

The only good thing out of all of this is that @den has acknowledged pillows will in fact be converted to chairs in a future update.

Much appreciated! However, they could stand to be a little bit closer to the spit. It looks like they’re afraid of getting burned. :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

This has also been a long time issue with gibbets. The taskmaster is waaaay too far away.

Umm not that I do not appreciate any fixes that come through the the pipes, but this is it…? You folks fixed a grand total of 6 things?

Better than nothing @Croms_Faithful :joy:

I haven’t tried the fix yet but the camera shifting after a kill has been annoying. So I’ll be happy if that’s fixed.

You need to add up the list of things they broke and then the list looks healthy!

Ever since I downloaded this new hotfix my game has frozen about 6 times now within 4 hours. This was not happening before this update. Running around dungeons and exile land when the game freezes isn’t great to explore during pvp hours. Is there a solution being made for the increased game crashes?

Another day and it’s only been 2 hours that I am online and my game has froze/crashed 4 times. Funcom any reason why this hotfix has this problem ?

Hmm. :thinking: We would need that log file, but it may be too big.

Uhhhh yeah still plays horrible + terrible on
PS5. Deleted the game again. Greedy company with 50 dlcs for sale for one game and each of them is at least $10. Greed.

I really dont like anything about this update. I have no interest in bench thralls getting in the way of gameplay. Trapping me in my rool sleeping in my beds stopping me from accessing rooms and benches. Especially in the middle of combat. Please make an option to turn this off. And can I suggest separating pvp and pve updates. Pvp players don’t care about fatality animation that trap you in one spot to get gangted as soon as it as it finishes. We just want more weapons and better fighting thrall. Please make an option to turn this nonsense off. Its serves no pourpose besides making quality of life difficult. I want them at the benches and I don’t want to access their personal inventory trying to use a bench. Why would that ever be a thing? Do you guys even play the game to see how frustrating your changes are

The pausing in the fatality animation is noticeable… quite noticeable!
