Please increase the respawn rate of named thralls! We lost them through no fault of our own because of the update, I worked hard to get them. If you wont give them back to us at least increase the respawn rate to 50%

Have to agree. Falling through foundations & other structures is game breaking. If Funcom canāt fix this bug they should prioritize finding someone who can. After a year not fixing a game-breaking bug there is no reason to expect players to be patient or āunderstandingā.

Hey, @AndyB, can you make sure the dev team gets the information @learuis documented in their post?
It wonāt fix anything with this particular release, but itās good feedback for future development: when changing blueprint paths, make sure to write the corresponding database migration logic.

I think weāre all getting sick of the constant excuses, itās just the same song and dance every time they update and Iām tired of it. I stopped playing when Age of War was such a disaster, I wonāt play again until they revert all the asinine changes in the past few years and roll it all back to the last pre-Age of Sorcery patch.

Updated OP with some additional information, including the workaround for server owners re: barkeepers, as well as information about crafters going missing per reports seen here.

While I appreciate that you are making this information available to the player community nowā¦ where were the communications earlier about what we could expect with bugs that were fixed? And bugs that were still impacting, and required workaround or mitigation?
Iāmā¦ I am REAL glad that youāve linked player-cobbled-together bits for our player community. Butā¦ this isā¦
ā¦ Man Andy - I donāt even know what this is.
Thank you for the comms. I truly hope that the efforts you linked prevents players from losing a lot of time and investments in the game.

My base is next to this place and for months I saw those little people up in the sky, but I didnāt know what it was. Yesterday, afraid of losing my most valuable artisans, I did everything they told me to do: beds, food, chairs, and I put them on the floor. Today I simply saw that they were gone. I looked in the event log and there was a notice that 8 of my artisans had died, without identifying the reason. It was simply there that they had died. This is absurd, especially if it had already been reported for months. I am upset. If I had left them inside the benches, I would still have them.

Yesboi. Did it like 2 years ago. Only reinstalling when they release a new update in hope they fix the game, but nope.

Just remember Funcomā¦ this was PREVENTABLE. You could have prevented a human being, one who has invested in your product and who enjoys your product, from having a shvtty time. Or - perhaps even MANY human beings who have invested in your product and who enjoys your product.
I asked and asked and asked and asked and asked for comms. So did Kikigirl. So did half of the forum. If anyone at Funcom finds themselves in an uncomfortable meeting where they are trying to unwind exactly why the player numbers are down, and why thereās bad press and bad content creator videos - just remember your old pal Cauthey reminding you about Pennyās poor time quoted above. And how this could have been avoided.

We made a tower and came to those in the āskyā not so tall on the floor. There are several on the floor and many in the sky, a player came to there and managed to rescue one of his lost artisans, but there are many, they are embedded in the sky and each one gets more and some that were disappearing, some noted that even armor Bonita already has, shows that the owner tried to protect them from attacks, but did not count on the attacks of the developer herself who knew the problem and let it happen.

Been watching gameplay of Dune. Dont hold your breath. Nearly all gameplay is pve, and only a small amount of pvp, which is endgame, on a different part of the map, which yields no benefit to fighting. No looting, no raiding, nothing. Expect trash.

So thats where my thralls went. Already found it weird that the town was so empty.
All I want to know is when this will be fixed, because I prefer not to lose thralls to bench poison or an airprison.

This one would like to make a friendly reminder that shooting the messenger doesnāt solve the bad news.
Also, the person in charge of talking to the public usually has vanishingly little authority over those turning the wheels.
If you want to get a contact who can put the heat on, find someone in Tencent.
That is where pressure from above can actually come down.
Funcom is a wholly owned subsidiary. So talk to their bosses.
Also, keep documentation of any grievances and share them with each Dune update to warn away any potential customers.
The pocket book is the only place that one can directly hold Funcomās feet to the fire.
But regardless of all that, anger and hatred are too precious a resource to use where they will not be impactful.

respectfully, i think you have the wrong end of the stick here.
Andy is indeed the āfaceā of the company in this case and should escalate internally if the āheatā gets too much.
A messenger would be another player giving you the news, in thi case it is a representative of the company at fault

and why should I start the search for someone else to communicate.
Me personally I am doing the companion quests (which cant be completed due to spawn blocks and stupid quest area design on our official server) and thinking, if I still want to play this dumpster fire that used to be my beloved game.
At some point, I will probably vote with my feet and wallet, like so many others already and leave.
Oh and keeping my wallet closed for Dune.
Because, while I still am sort of hooked on CE, I wonāt get into such a situation again with a company that treats its customers like this

Results.
Please do not misunderstand.
If Andy could do anything, perhaps he already would have. If he can but has not, then he chooses not to.
But he is not new to his job, and many of the rage points, while perhaps new in specific, follow a general trend that has been the source of gnashed teeth for years.
Directing anger at Andy, or Carol, or any of the other hired whipping people accomplishes nothing.
It has accomplished nothing for years.
You should start searching for someone else to communicate because you want results.
Continuing a tired cycle that has repeated time and againā¦ What can one possibly expect except the same tired results?
