Castle blood drain is bugged and incredibly fast

[Naalith]

I'm playing on a friends only PVE server with castle drain rate set as low as possible. The timer on the castle heart menu reflects the time it SHOULD be (IE, 20-30 days with minimal blood). However, when blood essence is consumed it takes off several hours of time in the UI, so I think it's using either base values or even faster than base values in actuality. Anyone have a workaround?

Might have it changed in the wrong direction?

Nope, I've got it on 0.1 which was the same as my previous servers. The timer in the UI has the correct time, but every time 1 blood essence is consumed it takes like 4 hours off the remaining time. Definitely not working.

Same issue here.

Yep my friends and i have the same problem... :/

Same issue here... 0.1 and says multiple days worth of blood.... then bam I'm out and decaying

manually changing it to anything below 0.25 causes it drain faster, just tested it

It is on 0.3 on my server and it is still bugged. I will try 0.5

So at 0.25 the timer matches the actual drain rate?

Nope, it's pulling from the default settings of your difficulty regardless of what you set it to in the files or the in game UI.
So no matter what it drains the same but the screen will say what it's SUPPOSED to be.

Okay i tried it out....

I changed it to 0.5 and it partially worked... the jumps down on the timer are only 16 minutes now instead of 25 minutes.
When i had it on 0.3 it was 25 minutes jumps.

Seems definitely bugged

Seems setting it to anything causes it to drain one blood essence every 2 minutes.

Dang, yeah I'm testing at 0.5 and that is the case here as well. Guess at this point I just need to put it at 1.0 so the timer is actually accurate for my buddies until they fix this.

[Xuwuzi]

My workaround will probably be that i put it on 1.0 but i guess i will crank up the blood essence drops to compensate for that

That's the default drain speed for normal difficulty. Brutal it drains every 1.5 minutes and relaxed ever 2.5 minutes, at least according to the default settings for each difficulty...whether that's accurate or it's just draining at 2 minutes per blood essence regardless of difficulty is another question.
