Things keep vanishing for no reasons

Game mode: [Online / PVE]
Problem: [Crash | Bug | Performance | Misc]
Region: Whatever

Things keep disappearing.

Buildings, items, benches, altars.
They keep disappearing with no reasons, and well outside the decay timers rule in ONLINE PVE environments.

For instance, across my 6 bases in 4 different EU/US servers in the last month I have lost:
(not gonna list here what I have lost for this mystery during a whole year of gameplay because would take 3 pages)

  • Armored animal Pen - it was included in a months-long established structure that completely surrouinded it, structure (including an altar) that has been left completely untouched by the apparent decay of the armored pen, all timers always shwoed maxed decay timing.

  • Benches - Lost 1x armor bench, 1x tanner bench, 1 blacksmith bench, all of these disappeared benches were placed among other items inside a year-long established base that has been otherwise left unaffected by the apparent decay of the benches. All items and tools that were literally 10 centimiters away from the “decayed” beches are still there, as well as all the structures surrounding them.
    Also in this case, all decay timers were checked daily and maxed before items disappearance.

  • Wells and Fireplaces - Same story, inside established structures, that are still standing untouched.
    Lost 1 water well and 2 fireplaces, vanished, leaving all items and structures surrounding them untouched.

  • Carpets - Lost 3 of them (and all items placed over the carpet, like tables chairs etc) - Same, Carpets decay, bringing with him all the placed above items, and again, with full decay timers checked daily and with all structures and items surrounding them inside buildings in perfect state.

Question, are you ever gonna fix this ?
Since your hot fixes are apparently based on users feedback, just check your forums.
How many reports of these vanishing items you need to counter the problem ?

I just had the same thing and server log didn’t tell me anything, that was a waste of a 2 day grind… I’m not even making it up, 2 days worth of effort

Been seeing lots of this on PC too over the last few weeks: tables, temples, wheels, one guy even lost a whole base that still had 90 hours remaining! Remains to see if the PC patch from 2 days ago has fixed it, but here’s hoping as that would shorten the wait for you guys too. :grimacing:

Yeah. I’m a new player who was finally starting to understand some stuff. Made a wheel of pain, got a tier 3 performer. Get back from work and it decayed. I find it hard to believe it’s supposed to decay in 8 hours…pretty frustrating.

Hey there,

Our team is aware of some items decaying within bases and they’re looking into it.
For now, we’d always recommend building as close as possible to the main building and always check decay timers with a repair hammer to spot possible issues beforehand.

Well, nice to finally read something like this.
It took only 1 year for Funcom to acknowledge there is actually a problem with things having chances to vanish ignoring decay timers.

Better late than never, I guess.
