Mule disappearing

Post by Achae Eanstray »

I have lost now two mules in about 90 minute time. Anyone else having problems?

Yes the point that the mules are disappearing was reported in Mantis and on the boads like 40 times.

I looked at this already but I have no idea what causes this disappearing.

Could we PLEASE remove the mule deposit until this bug is fixed?

Or better yet, could we remove the 'mule disappears when it times out' 'feature' ? Because I think that's the cause of this bug.

Thanks for enlightening me then ;)

I don't remember the cows having this bug though.

Could we remove the deposit though till its fixed please? So if the mule disappears you don't have to pay 250 coppers more?

Not sure if possible but would be very nice not to have to spend another 250 copper when a mule disappears. As a side and I don't know if this will happen every time, but so far I have had luck telling the mule to "stay" then doing work then saying "follow me" after the work is done.....not disappearing, however it could be a fluke.

like i mentioned in the thread by ambrosine (sorry if i misspelled name btw) in this same forum, the mules seem to be bugged and imho they should just be unimplemented from the game until they can be debugged and returned to the game without having all these annoying errors.

OR

You could use some common sense and just not buy mules untill they are fixed.

That is very hard to do if gathering supplies, or doing some kind of crafting and no common depot as previously when at least all towns had a tb depot. My char has lost more then 15 silver on mules. Some times seem worse then others....one time kept one for two days, another like today, lost two in an hour so just got oog. There seems no common theme to when they disappear either.

But you'd still have the same problems if you disabled them untill they were fixed...
