First of all, thank you @forkyeah .
Your thrall was very, very lucky to have survived, but it’s no worse than AoS.

There’s something about your tests though that doesn’t confer them ecological validity. You clearly know your game and it seems the conditions weren’t adverse. That’s not something I am blaming you for, mind you.
But it’s hard to extrapolate for most players the results you had. Very hard.
People panic, the game performs poorly, etc.
You see, some similar tests were made before AoS and I ended up rather optmistic after playing myself. But then I heard quite a significant number of people complaining legitimately. Not all players are skilled and they are those who need thralls the most. Even skilled players are powerless when the game acts up. So I lost some thralls that should have managed and they didn’t exactly because their hp was too low to protect them from those mishaps.
Anyway, your tests were very cool and give me some hope, although my general attitude is still doubtful. It has nothing to do with you generous testing, but with the direction the game is taking. It’s becoming increasingly grindy. I don’t like that a lot. I like a lot of adventure with a little grind, not a lot of grind with little adventure.
I guess I’ll wait and find out.
Again, thanks for the tests. They were very much appreciated.
