Thoughts on and after the parity patch

Game mode: [Online | Singleplayer]
Problem: [Crash | Bug | Performance | Misc]
Region: everywhere


Let me start by saying how excited I was almost 2 months ago when I heard about this big 500 item patch that was coming out. It has released today and I cant even express the disappointment of reading the patch notes, and playing the game after it downloaded. Here are some of the things that I’ve come across so far:

ISSUES:
-Thralls wont keep their weapons equipped for more than a few seconds, after which it returns to their inventory.
-All fighter and archer thralls that I currently have will NOT aggro into any enemy. They just stand there like a statue.
-The health bar glitch when you first log in is still present. It’s down at half health, and when you heal it takes you right to full but the blood effect stays on screen.
-You still lose stamina while swimming (I personally think you should but that patch notes said otherwise)
-Adding the oil to the insulated wood doesn’t just effect the T3 Black ice, but also the T2 insulated wood. ( I think making it take more ice or reinforcments would have been better)
-T3 stone/dlc building pieces are too expensive in the first place. It took me probably 10-12 hours of playing to create a 4x5x3 house, that has a 4x3 side porch, and it’s not completley done. (Sloped walls take 9 hardened brick while regular walls take 8 even though it’s only half of a wall)
-Any of my T4 thralls obtained before the patch are still broken ( look like non nordheimers with eyes farther apart than the sun and the moon)
-Randomly after logging in the game wont recognize certain building pieces, so you skip overtop of them instead of walking on them
-Human enemies still disappear sometimes
-Dancer thralls dont dance, they just stand there

IMPROVMENTS:

-ALL DLC weapons and armors can be made made as FLAWLESS versions with any T4 armorer or Smith ( I have Fia & Secas the Smith )
-Animals now have warning animations instead of instantly charging you
-Tents can be moved and Interacted with
-The T4 thralls now appear to be the correct race with normal faces ( Freya and Lian look like actual Nordheimers now, with normal facial structures)

GENERAL THOUGHTS:
-The issue that caused me to crash In the past was fixed a while back, now I only tend to crash if I run into an area that hasn’t loaded in all of the stuff yet before I get asked. I have sympathy for those having the issue, because I’ve been there.
-I am very underwhelmed. The bugs and issues that I’ve been making posts for months about have gone overlooked but yet a single rock got its clipping fixed and it counted as one of the 500 items.
-I had an issue when I first logged on where I couldnt access any chests or crafting stations. ( yes everything was loaded in )
-I appreciate that more audio queues put in but I would have been fine without it if meant something else would have been implimented instead.
-i was very shocked at how small of a patch this was

Yes indeed. The number one item that needed to be fixed was player owned thralls agro. As we sit, thralls still dont act unless their players takes damage.

The patch was a disappointment, but I’m glad they didn’t randomly spit out some new content at the same time. Bugs are 500 times more important than new content. This is no longer an Early Access game, after all.

Triangle foundation pieces I guess can’t be used for anything or at least nothing can be placed on them I had several chests disappear

Just tested out my thralls and my archers start firing as I bring an enemy near base fighters do nothing in the beginning until an archer hit enemy with arrow then they react and this is happening without enemy hitting me and I’m on Xbox one x

I know they mentioned that anything placed on a triangle foundation before the patch might get messed up after the patch. Have you tried placing anything back on them to see if it was just the stuff you had?

I wouldn’t mind the DLC dropping if they didnt cause even more issues. I take it as an “hey I know we keep breaking, fixing, breaking, etc the game so here’s some new things” type of deal, but they just make things worse or its incomplete

From my experience on pc live, official PvE server: I had several chests disappear when they put this patch on us back in July. I put the same type of chest back onto the same location and they have stayed … I did watch them for a few days (ie server resets) before I put items in them.
I would advise anyone who has had chests or workshops despawn by the patch to take a similar cautious approach … replace and watch for a few days before you use

Hello, after update Thralls will no longer display/hold any weapons or shields. Most NPC dont display any weapons anymore as well. Also don’t seem to have any other options for nudity anymore only defaults to none on XBox now. Playing offline

Who gets excited about a patch? I dont get excited when my car gets a MOT

Me, because this game is broken and there could be something that gets fixed.

The tier 3 building and dlc indeed expensive to build, too expensive.

What I think is that they make a patch, put it on pc, only format and dont test it on consoles, and releasing it thinking it will solve the same thing for the consoles
