Bug Description:
Hello,
i have a problem with the purge bar. It always decrease. But i dont know why. Even if i would play two hours per day (bar get filled 15% maybe). If i go online at the next day the purge bar is almost empty. Then i can fill it again a bit and the next it is again empty. i just dont have the possibility to get purges.
That very annoying, because its fun and i wanna have purge thralls.
I dont know if it have to do something with this. Im a solo player within a clan. So no other members in the clan. But i know other solo players on the server who dont have such a problem. Maybe they play more then me. But is this high decrease of the purge bar normal? If so. I think something should be done here. As player who can play only all 1-2 days for 1-2 hours its a bit frustrating if you wanna have some purges.
Steps to Reproduce:
Playing 1-2 hours and go offline (something between 8-16h because of sleep and work and private stuff)
going online again the next day. Purge bar is almost gone
Step 1-2 again…
I tried everything you can do in the game. So the purge bar will fill… but it wont work. I have the problem since half a year. So i decided now to ask for help.
This sounds like normal purge bar decay. Yeah, if you only play for an hour or two a day, your purge bar could take months to fill because the decay will set you back nearly as fast as you can fill it.
I’ve suggested in the past that they add a 24-hour delay before the meter starts decaying, so as long as you log in every day, it will not decay. Unfortunately, they have not implemented such a thing yet.
Thank you for your report. However, it seems to be working as intended.
The purge system works with several validations to raise the bar, one of them is whether the player (or one clan member) is online on the server. If online you (or the clan) get a positive check, when you’re not you get a negative point which decreases the bar size. Therefore, if you spend more time offline than online, your purge bar is unlikely to raise enough to activate the purge.
