Hello I’m new to the forums, and I want to start by saying I love the game. I recently made a video I’d like you to see because we really need some changes to the PVP system in the game. I feel that Offline raiding pushes people away from PVP. Raiding someone when they are offline is not PVP, (Player vs Player) you can not PVP someone is an offline raid. and as a single player it is unfair to be offline raided and be forced to start all over every time you jump on line. people that run solo are pushed away from the game and never come back because the can’t get anywhere in the game. I feel offline raiding should be disabled unless the player has not logged in in a week. If they haven’t logged in, in a week then there stuff is fare game to make room for other players on the server.

@DarkHandOfLee then you need to find a private server with a good admin. From what I’ve read offline raiding for profit or just getting off on destroying others items is the norm. I don’t play pvp myself but there is plenty of posts about pros and cons. How long have you been playing?

Is there a known issue with armour repairs? Since the patch some items or armour say that I don’t have the necessary skills to repair them.

Think you also fail to realize that regular decay timers are a week. So, essentially you’re saying solo players can sit there and land claim everywhere, log out during raid hours and become immune, and then don’t need to log back into the game until their stuff is decaying. Nice.

So my post was flagged by the community… and then hidden

I am posting cause I wanted to make sure the development team is aware of a bug that allows players to feed there thralls pork rinds in a way that allows them to stat stack percentages leading up to 300% or more making them one tap other people in pvp or even other thralls…

Its an exploit I would love to see fixed… I dont believe in exploits to give an unfair advantage… I want to make sure the game is enjoyable for everyone… if I was being raided by a clan who used this exploit to kill all my thralls I wouldnt be to happy

I didnt see this fix in the patch notes so maybe they are still unaware of it… if the development team had a question on it I would be happy to answer it… but its a bug some people dont want known… I would love to see it fixed…

But these patches are amazing alot of good fixes :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this was what they wanted, but the slaves are now completely useless for protection.

just checked on the official server, I killed all the slaves of the defenders of the enemy clan without straining. Didn’t spend even a pack of food

Personal opinion: I didn’t like this update, I used to like my OP thralls. Now that thralls are number limited (cap) and needed to level up to worth have them, they were nerfed. Next step: Thralls won’t be able to handle a sword, because the player is the one who has to handle the sword. And the best of the game is getting missing for me. Great hero I became now that I can’t have a decent army.

That’s exactly what Funcom wanted with this update. So keep doing the nice job and keep sending players away from the game! :wink: Funcom bets new players will came now that thralls that take a week to upgrade can be killed in seconds!

It’s happening to me too. New updates always crash things that used to work fine. The fun is trying to guess which one will be affect next time. I join a group where they place bets on new bugs whenever an update is announced.

ok, so i do remember my Dalinsia Snowhunter having about a 13k+ health bar now it dropped to 8023 health. Thats a huge difference for a maxed out purge thrall. Not to happy, I play on a official pve server btw.

I hate this update as well, seems they’re just catering to pvp players here. Lets us pve players enjoy our buffed up thralls. no need to nerf them. as for going to ark, no way lol. I’d rather just not play at all

mine as 5k less and shes level 20, this is bs in my opinion. I love this game but really, stop catering to pvp players. pve and pvp are 100% a totally different group of players. They do not share the same opinions. If they cry for nerfs because they cant raid someones base, give them the nerfs not pve.

in fact, slavery simply disappears. it makes no sense to waste time on pumping slaves, which can be killed so easily. It’s easier to make one slave for the bosses and that’s it.
I think this will only lead to even more intricate and large buildings.
in fact, this is the last thing left for defense

I’ve defended this game through thick an thin, but now with this patch… I am not too happy. What was the reasoning for these thrall nerfs? Who wanted such a drastic health and strengh reduction? Was it pvp players? If so, then why force this on pve players??

There are some PvE players who wanted this too. They think the game needed more challenge. But they couldn’t just take a weaker thrall, they wanted everyone to have weaker thralls as well, no option! And Funcom agreed with them and did what it did. Now they are happy because they can have what they already had, and players like us are sad because we can’t have what we used to have anymore… Something like that.

I’ll need more archers to make up for this difference where one could do.

I can’t wait for the stats on boss versus thrall where it has changed.

What a surprise I had today when I logged in and went to “recruit” some thralls with my level 15 warrior thrall. He has lost more than 4k of HP and he is taking more time to slay something as weak as the grey apes in Xel-ha O.o

Seriously what is the point of that thrall nerf on PvE servers again ?

After the update that changed the hardened steel recipe to include black ice, this is probably the second worst one.

I’m really amazed that there is time and effort put into changes like this one, but there are same bugs that are being reported again and again by different players, that needs to be fixed. Instead there is just waiting for a topic to auto-close itself and pretending like it never happened :confused:

I mean seriously, if the dev team in my workplace would have the same approach towards fixing the software issues, they would be sacked rather quickly :confused:

if u use the lovetap i recommend to use concussion oil on it, otherwise u will sit there for a long time before your thrall knock anything out.
