Warchief Bodyguard Weaknesses Bug

[CruX]

[ Please Read In Full Before You Respond ] - Thanks.

This bug is starting to annoy me..

He (the warchief in question) had 2 bodyguards, with no weaknesses. He was lvl 59, so I took him down and made him pit fight to get him level 60. i checked after.. still no weaknesses.. so I promoted him back to the same warchief position he was in prior to this. I checked again, still no weaknesses.. I gave him the same 2 bodyguards he had before, and all of a sudden he now has 'shaken master' and becomes dazed when a bodyguard is killed..

This is just one example, but.. The fact that warchiefs are getting weaknesses randomly out on nowhere, where they had no weaknesses prior, is frustrating.. If they are supposed to have a weakness, just let it be there.. Don't have stuff randomly appear for no reason.

It seems most warchiefs get this 'shaken master' coming out of nowhere once given a bodyguard, some even become terrified and flee when a bodyguard dies (I forget the name of this one).

And sure enough, as soon as you remove the bodyguard, the weaknesses dissapear, but once you give them the bodyguards again, even different ones, they get the weaknesses back.

This didn't used to be the case, I think the recent patch did something, but I dunno.. I don't mind weaknesses.. What I do mind is orcs getting these weaknesses out of thin air.. Especially if you put orders on them to make them stronger, thinking you got this perfect orc, and then.. boom.. random weakness.. It is kinda bs, and frustrating.

Needs a fix, and if this is intended..

Then it needs refinement, as this out of thin air business is not okay.

You realize that if he didn't have a bodyguard, it would be irrelevant to show that he had that weakness, right?
It's not appearing out of thin air - he's always had this weakness, it just didn't display until you fulfilled the conditions for his weakness to be meaningful.

I guess you didn't read in full, because if you had, you would have read that he didn't always have this weakness.. But thanks for the input, lol

EDIT: for he had the same two bodyguards prior to the aforementioned, with no weaknesses, etc.. (not going to re-type, but yeah).

[Doc]

Ah. I misread the first part. Didn't see that he'd also had 2 bodyguards before you brought him to 60.

[CruX]

No worries :)

EDIT: It does get annoying when it randomly happens like that tho.. Not the first time, that was just one example.

As said, this wasn't always the case, must be a recent change or issue that has arisen since the last patch.. But yeah, if intended, it definitely needs to be refined and fixed in some areas.

Did they have anything else that showed terrified on them, or was it empty as a weakness slot?

My guess is that he somehow gained the weakness once he leveled up and once you assigned the bodyguards to him, the weakness showed up.
I also have several warchiefs that have this, though they didn't just suddenly get it like yours.
It's also possible for your warchiefs to gain a possessive master (which is pretty good actually) hate or something similar.

After leveling like 100+ orcs in the fight pits.. To be honest I've lost count i've done it so much.. But to the point.. after many, many orcs being leveled in the fight pits.. I have never seen any gain weaknesses.. In fact, I have seen the opposite.. Orcs loosing weaknesses..

Example: 1 orc recently went in with vulnerability to stealth and having 2 dazed effects.. When he was done leveling, he only had vulnerability to stealth. Another had a terrified negative effect (forget which one), but after a fight, there was no more terrified weakness.

I don't think orcs can gain weaknesses from fighting/leveling in the fight pits. Just strengths, or loosing weaknesses, or nothing but levels

If they survive, it usually means a stronger orc, or pretty much the same, just a higher level.. If done enough times, but yeah.. I should mention however, that I only use the champion pit fight.

fight pits and perhaps also leveling up > some orcs loosing weaknesses .
got yesterday an insane pitfight a lvl 27 maggot vs my lvl 47 quicklevel orc
(was a longrage poweshot fighter who always dazed and never go in meelee range!
really strange )
i was angy because the lvl 27 scum with serious mortal weaknesses won ! ;)
so i branded him to let him die in the arena .
after some matches he got to max level and left with 3 of the minor "tipps" weaknesses
no dazed no terrifyed no mortal .
Sometimes you get really interesting results example what is better for defense .
warchief with 2 bloodbrothers boddyguards or a warchief with 2 boddyguards who all get enranged about eachother .
i would say the enranged combo wins.

Lol I had a legendary with no weaknesses and I dominated and he suddenly got mortal vulnerabilities

2021 this still isn't fixed. It simply shouldn't even be a trait in the game.
