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
