Bug Description:

Thralls freeze after one attack/combo

Bug Reproduction:

  1. Log into Official Server
  2. Set any thrall to follow
  3. Engage any enemy
  4. Thrall will make one attack/combo and then freeze in place until they take damage, the aggro’d mob dies/loses aggro, or you move out of range and they ‘follow’.

I have tested this with several weapon types (2H swords, 2H hammers, 1H maces, daggers, claws/chakrams, etc) and it is the same for all.

Please note: you will not notice this bug if the thrall is constantly taking damage, since it “resets” when they take damage. It is most easily reproduced by fighting a boss mob alongside your thrall. You will typically pull aggro from the boss, and your thrall will just stand there after it’s first attack cycle completely frozen until they take damage.
This used to be a known issue with thralls and shields: it was common knowledge not to equip thralls with shields or they would go unresponsive until they took damage. Now you have somehow managed to propagate this behaviour to all weapons.

Next to the dropping through buildings bug this is probably the biggest bug affecting players right now and it’s alarming that it has not been acknowledged in any of the Funcom “known issues” posts. It makes thralls next to useless. Perhaps before “revamping thralls” and nerfing them into the ground again you could fix these glaring issues.

I will try your suggestion, however all my followers are doing it. Grated lately I have been placing some followers in chairs to avoid the falling through foundation bug, but thralls that have been standing forever are doing it, and even ones that were freshly placed standing.

They do not react even if I am being hit by the boss right beside them. They will only react if they are directly hit.
Typically I can work around it by standing behind my thrall so that the boss/enemy hits them when they swing at me, but this is just a minor workaround since they will freeze right again after one attack sequence. It makes thralls - already nerfed into the ground - absolute trash.

Some thralls have bugged AI, like the volcano Devotee.
You will never see them doing a 3rd attack in a combo.

If I let myself and others stand and wait for a server reset, they are all improved. I wonder if there is something else going on. Sorry I can’t help you.

I once read here that Devotees are classified as tier I fighters, despite their impressive characteristics.
And all fighters of tier I-II have their combos cut off.
So everything is correct.
