Game mode: Online official Type of issue: Bug Server type: PvP Region: NA
I am unable to do damage to thralls and pets long after the player has left the server and after their base has decayed. This is on official PVP server. I’ve tried arrows and melee weapons.
Is this a know issue?
Should I use bigger weaponry like gas and explosives? How do I remove these “remnants”
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Find a floating thrall/pet on official pvp with old remnants of bases
Since thalls “decay” some time after the base is gone, if you are not sure how long it has been, maybe wait a week or so. They should be gone in 2 weeks after owner gone, but it could happen that it takes longer.
As for “bigger weaponry” - half joking, half serious: Did you try pulling a local (tall) boss there, presuming thralls are not floating too high?
The game makes the distinction between player owned thralls and wild enemy NPCs. They protect your thralls from damage during non-raid hours as stated by @zerog
Also, if you have access, get the Firespark arrows and stack bleed on them. this will do the job quicker than pure damage.
Highest BOW you can make, FIRESPARK Arrow, if not highest Arrow you can obtain, armor pen on bow. then just fire away. may take a while.
If they don;t have sandstorm masks,setite mask or Godbreaker helm, then gas them. You will need to hit them directly to get the cloud in their area.
reduce your proximity to target, get right up on him, put a door, a drawbridge, whatever you like - BOX HIM IN
Concussive damage is the way to go, don’t kill them dressed in full armor, just knock them out and take them for your self. You still get the armor too
I guess It’s because I don’t leave my thralls to be picked off. Island base. Can’t exactly shoot them or pick them off due to render distance and walls. I can see why it’s a thing though.
I’m sure other players aren’t as well placed in the exile lands and require thralls out per se.
