Thrall pot no longer supplies thralls correctly

Type of issue: = Bug

Region: = Ger / EU


The thrall pot no longer supplies thralls correctly. The pot give endless food through the thralls. At 127x meat (per thrall) i have removed this because I don’t want to lose it of course. Since the display has disappeared which indicates if and how much the thrall is supplied / feeded, I can’t really say that the thrall is eating food at all.

i’m not exactly sure, if the server has the last update from today (16.05.2019)

Does it mean the thrall pot is obsolete ? I didn’t notice that in the patch notes because i have just paid attention to things that were faulty and the thrall pot worked well some patches back.

The thrall pots and feed boxes still distribute food to thralls & pets. Thralls & pets take ONE food item from the pot/box on a timer. The food gives them a combat buff. … a brief test I did on an official PvE server indicated the timer was about 9 or 10 minutes.
Thralls & pets will not die if they are not fed. Their existance is linked to the owner logging into the game. There are separate settings in the server list for disabling thrall decay/death and a setting for how long before they decay/die.
My test prior to the May update indicated the login refresh of thrall decay was not dependent upon the owner being close to the thrall/pet … it could be anywhere on the map and just logging in would prevent death. Tascha recently posted that thrall/pet decay reset was similar to building decay and required owners to have gone close to them… I’m currently testing that statement with an abandoned bearer I … who had been isolated and unvisited since mid-March, as I went and checked if he was still there a couple of days ago … I’ll see if he’s still there in June.

According to Multigun who looked throught the dev kit and confirmed by Ignasis:
any non-preferred food item consumed gives a 10% combat buff that lasts 1 hour OR until a server reset. We can not see this 10% buff at all.
Any preferred food item consumed gives a 25% combat buff that lasts 1 hour OR until a server reset, we can see that buff on our thralls & pets when we look at their health bar whilst they are in combat.

So in my view, Funcom needs to review the timer on thralls & pets taking food from the pot/box … they should theortically require 24 pieces of food per day to keep their buff present. But currently need atleast 144 pieces of food to maintain the buff due the short time between them taking food from the pot.

Ah ok if the thralls don’t die that’s ok. But 127x meat to the thralls (per thrall) distribute within barely an hour is somehow wrong.

But the most important thing for me is that they don’t die. And in contrast to my previous single player rounds the server is still running so I was a bit worried.

Please check your server settings that the thrall decay setting is what you want it at… or that you have the disable thrall decay setting selected … I think it’s in the same menu that you can set the building decay settings … maybe Abandonment menu of the server settings

@Kwalya, that is the best summation of the present conditions I have seen. Wish I could do that :+1:

Thanks !

Cheers Thanks .,. Lol I’ve been typing variations of the same since the patches … and it helps to have a thirty minute train commute to and from work … and use a mobile phone or iPad where I forget how to link previous posts I’ve made to new replies so each gets a customised response.

Mind if I store that locally and credit you?

I don’t care if you plagiarise it … half it was from posts Multigun and Ignasis made.

I’ve seen this setting, but I’ll check it again. :+1:
