You used to be able to tell your thrall to stop, where they would stand there and take it to the face. It was a great way to have them tank a harder mob to be knocked out. That function is completely gone. The best you can do is have them flee. Which means now your thrall is running around getting the agro of EVERYTHING in the area, TERRIBLE idea. Also WHY CAN I NOT USE A BINDING OR TORCH WHILE RIDING???!!!
The new “inventory management” system is beyond terrible and there are plunty of threads on that already!
Having them defend position outside an enemy camp works, and you can switch between sorted and not sorted in your inventory. Directions how should be at the top right of your inventory screen.
‘No sort’ is non-persistent. You can manually sort your inventory, but if you need to switch to another option (eg after harvesting switch to ‘heaviest first’ to more effectively offload) when you switch back it does not return to the custom layout and instead everything has to be manually repositioned again. (People are also reporting that it doesn’t maintain organisation if you logout…)
I second the frustration at the loss of the Stop command. Was very useful when leveling a thrall to tell them to stop while you went and killed the big scary spider. But now they run around yelling Leroy Jenkins and you both end up dead.
It’s not like before (the stop command), it has very limited range and then they got ported back on top of you if you go too far. And the range is not long at all.
The main use for that seems to have been exploiting the Al Merayah boss that instantly leveled them to 20 so I can understand it was probably not their vision of how we should play the game. But they could have fixed the exp gain instead, which they said they did but failed to (until now).
The Stop function was also useful in dungeons, NPC camps etc. with tight spaces. you didn’t want your follower to follow you to the doorway or blocking the narrow dead-end corridor you entered. Ordering the follower to “move” out of the way is not an option because the thrall is in the way so you can’t point your cursor behind them.
That makes sense, I didn’t know about the stop command until recently (thanks Al Merayah) so I was always doing the “stop following” instead (or placing them on guard mode when possible). Which worked completely fine, just no exp and more clunky.
Yes. His xp amount was fixed, but they removed the stop command anyway. Just like Den saying in a livestream that Human thralls would be nerfed, but not pets.
