Basic Info: > Platform: Steam > Issue Type: Gameplay > Game Mode: Online Official > Server Type: PvE-Conflict > Map: Isle of Siptah > Server Name: 6009 > Mods: None * * * Bug Description: > Thralls are idle in combat. Attacking only when enemies come closer to them. Command “attack” doesn’t work. Command “move” work. It’s possible to command thralls to move close to boss and when enemy is close to them, they will attack. However, they will not chase enemies even if they are 2 meters away. Changing gear / behavior is not helping. I have seen post about this issue from 2019. 5 years ago… This is very annoying thing and should be fixed as soon as possible. It make game unplatyable. I regret spending money on this game and all DLC to later discover so big bugs. * * * Bug Reproduction: > Take thralls on follow (I have 2 with perk). Start attacking something. Observe how thralls are not attacking. ---

Only getting whack temporarily unstuck them from standing there and fight back, but the enemy archer’s shots don’t wake them up and can kill my thralls without effort if I didn’t intervene. Is it my fault for playing with better thralls mod and playing with lil army? This bug definitely needs a fix, just want to play some Savage Wilds mod map and this sucks Crom’s toxic balls! ---

> [@Greenchili](#): > > g with better thralls mod and The lazy bastards! 🙂 The moment a mod or mods are involved then you would need to remove those to test if it happens in the core game - otherwise pop a query in the respective Modders Discord (they all have one). You have more than one Thrall-affecting mod installed. Add the Purge and Bar mechanics and you have a lot of potential for confusion. Good luck. But check with the Modders Discords first. FC cannot/won’t/shouldn’t be expected to address _any_ issues the moment mods are in the mix. ---

Good lord no! **Savage Wilds** is an amazing map anyway, with so much content that I suspect Funcom staff play on it too. I would check those Mod Discords first as you appear to have two mods that directly affect Thralls. Then check with the amazing lot over in Savage Wilds Discord, though I don’t think that mod messes with mods. I do remember some times that thralls would get stuck on my Savage Wilds run through, especially near the noob seashore - which, at the time, was a known issue and undermesh related. That was a while back. Drop a not in the Savage Wilds discord, along with the coordinates where those thralls are, etc. This is absolutely not a Funcom issue the moment mods are involved. You will get better info from the Discords. ---

I have better thralls and thralls are alive, I check and no indication of causing a problem, prob have to double check, either way, I am done, three thralls just died to this bug, plus their body went invisible (that part I know is Funcom’s fault!), so I lost their armor, as well their corpse for funeral (Crassus mod) and I am just done with this crap! ---

[quote=“Greenchili, post:6, topic:249497”] I am done [/quote] - well am glad you haven’t done one of the Treasure-activate Purges yet - I lost a ton of thralls in that - 16 at the last count, but then I did have a number of ‘drunkards’ that I’d gotten via the Bar! 😃 Having played on servers with lots of mods, including _Savage Wilds_ of course, they really enhance the game for me, but not for everyone. I have thousands of hours in game so have seen a lot of ups and downs (who remembers the ‘Fun’ when 1.0 was launched?) 😂 But, there are indeed a ton of games out there to pick from, and many are also modded, so you should find a great fit somewhere. Good luck! ---

This bug happens without mods as well. Happening to me whole day today. Can’t play this game anymore without thralls attacking enemies. ---

I don’t have crazy mods that do crazy changes to thralls, I have noticed since past 3 days, that this has been happening and makes the game unplayable for me! My game was working fine and now it is broken lol ---

I quit playing the game because of this bug. Not playable or worth it to lose a high level thrall. ---

Yeah this bug happens even on none modded private dedicated server. Infact they act worse more often after “combat changes” patch even though before things were not smooth sailing either. ---

I deleted a thrall another day, enemies formed a mosh pit around me and the thrall just observed. On the past when the ToggleDebugHud was disponible, i could notice that when the server was high ping, it happened with the thralls. ---

Putting thrall on bench or chair and then making him follow seams to cause this bug. Putting bugged thrall on standing guard and wait for server reset can fix this bug. Edit 2: I have made few tests. 8 Thralls that were on “standing guard” are working fine. 4 thralls that were sitting on benches got bugged and idle. I guess sitting on benches gives them idle glitch. Not sure about throne, since throne is a bit different (tavern npc don’t sit on thrones). ---
