Thrall bug isn't a bug?

s you know, I recommended using Guard and Defend for your inner workings, as your setup should be more close-quarters. My prediction was you’d have a meat curtain that an enemy would need to work through as a static defense.

On the peripheral walls and at your archer level, I have had some success with what I will consider at least for now the thrall’s default setting. The thought process went like this: you place the thrall, you level the thrall, then you park the thrall in place. This action alone does not seem to reset the stances you have placed on the follower during leveling or while you were “out and about.”

What does seem to reset them is to park them where intended. Command them to follow. Don’t move, then command them to stop following. The reason I say this seems to reset them is because followers who had originally been commanded to prioritize will no longer do so. They will require an offensive action (a strike/attack vs a building or asset) prior to becoming activated.

I am not quite following the strategy for melee/inside only thralls.

Are you suggesting I place each thrall on follow (even the leveled thralls) and use a setting such as attack all (guard me wouldn’t make sense once guarding as I may not be around) with a short radius and then simply hit the ‘stop following’ tab without changing anything else and the thrall will default to staying in buildings even if an enemy is within radius outside the building?

I was not able to get my thralls to pop out of buildings today so I am wondering if Funcom snuck a quick fix in without mentioning it? While a fix would be great, it would be good to know if they fixed thralls from walking through doors and walls so we do not have to continually mess around and ‘guess’ how to prevent it if they actually made a fix since this issue was brought up.
