You took the “slice of cake” bit out of context. It was a reply to your complaint that they’re catering more to PVE. I used to complain about the exact opposite, how Funcom was catering more to PVP, because every nerf that set me back tens or hundreds of hours has been motivated by PVP.
Truth is, @Mikey is completely right about this: regardless of what group we belong to, we should complain about how Funcom is shafting “our group”, instead of how the “other group” gets more love 
ofc, I agree on that. But that’s how they do. And in my opinion it’s not working very well.
Yes ofc. You throw and roll and Switch to spear mid roll.
But not needed if you cooperate with a teammate. And you usually have at least one archer in your clan.
In the second half, she did no damage to you what so ever and everyone knows, a few clouts with a truncheon and archer thralls are on the ground. So our bases are heavily defended against noobs who have no idea what they are getting in to. Anyone else? Not so much…
I really like the idea of tamed thralls becoming an actual threat rather than a minor annoyance for other players. Before hand the main reason you needed 100 + thralls per base was because thralls were the equivalent of having a bunch of angry drunks armed with police batons, they may look intimidating but against a guy with a giant axe and a bunch of explosives all thralls did was slightly annoy and slow down a raider, now they are an actual defense, you will thus need less thrall spam to defend your base and now having well placed thralls actually feels like it makes a difference as opposed to just being an aesthetic after thought.
There will still be plenty of ways to deal with thralls, using differnt pets as damage sponges, you bring a tank thrall and your buddy brings a DPS thrall while you 2 try to blow in and clear things, this is definitely a change I can get behind. The thralls being really strong will not affect offensive PvP as much as it will defensive PvP, which I like, reason being you still will only be able to bring one thrall out with you which any other player you meet out in the world can also do, but you can have up to 55 defending your base, and this looks to make archers an actual viable option, instead of literally getting nothing but fighters and just giving some of those fighters a bow.
On paper I like this I think it will actually be good for PvP as it will give players a buff to their defensive tools and lets be honest the game really did need it. Every base must be raidable but at the same time raidable should not mean you can wipe everything and kill 100 thralls with nothing but explosives and a good melee weapon, you used to be able to literally walk through a base of thralls if you gear was good enough. Now thralls will actually make someone go “oh dam I need to think how to this” instead of “sigh here we go again” - proceeds to pull weapon out and mindlessly click spam 100 thralls to death.
In practice I guess we will still have to see how this plays out on actual live servers and how people use them, but for now I am liking this.
HP isnt everything… or shouldnt be! on thralls. - Look at dalinsia 5k. / Nbatu ■■■■■ as hard as a truck, im hoping theyre still wildcards after update.
It wont be every thrall though?, a max level archer that probably has specifically leveled stat line may two shot you like seen in the video, but lets be honest given how we know how tough it is going to be to level out thralls up, how many of those do you think you are actually going to have to deal with?
Lets not over exaggerate here, the devs did already say thralls will be a lot stronger, but most will be mid tier strength, not two shot gods like the one in OPS video, I would say you will come across a thrall like this archer once in a blue moon. So lets not get a head of ourselves until we actually are all using the new thralls
want to mention that if you have a godly archer…
people will eventually find out and go out of their way to destroy it. I believe people with uber thralls are going to be focus point for alphas because of its ability to fight back violently.
If people see you leveling a thrall. I’m 100% convinced they will go out of their way to remove it from existence in pvp.
I guess only time will tell if it is misplaced or not.
Max level thralls will be ver common. Yesterday me and a Clan mate were rolling around and each leveled 2 thralls to level 20 with ease. I did two fighters he did two archers. Leveling thralls is very easy and max level thralls will be common
