Your View: Raids

[Gallic 1066]

Wow okay so, I know this probably isn't the intent, but I don't want PvP goons getting the right to grief my builds IC, based on my past experience being around such crews. Yeah, I get that it's realistic and all, but in reality people weren't raided every five days by people who hate them on a metaphysical out-of-body level.

I think raids are important and there's a definite place for them on lotc

 

But

 

There are SOME raids that go like this;

 

>nation holds event, advertised in advance

>raiders show up for sole purpose of derailing event

>event is ruined and most likely ooc bickering

 

This **** serves no purpose other than to sour peoples time and need to be fixed

stop that

The intent is to gather data to make raids more fun and more meaningful both for the mechanically oriented and the hardcore rp oriented populations of the server. Ideally I'd really like to see two kinds of raids. A more severe with a large cd that essentially replaced the pillage warclaim. And a smaller raid that would be very similar to how they are now but with a larger cap and a warning to the defenders in advance.

Hey man, HEY. 

Just check my feedback. I'm all about enforcing more RP into raids, and adding a CB system of sorts though not the one similar to warclaims due to how faulty and awful it is especially when RYAN is overseeing it's acceptance. I swear I'm not biased because he denied both my warclaims.

Agreed.

don't touch my god damn raids unless it's for better raids

this is all i have

 

People are going to defend both sides regardless, be it the dedicated roleplayers or the crap-posting pvp goons of the server, this is justified in its own right.

Raids barely happen anymore, just remove them xd

 

If that happened, just like nexus, won't people scream out in the fourms? Oh wait, we still have that.

Well it gotta start at some point. The current rules are choking the rp of this server as it is.

 

A little change would be the start of something greater, I support this thought.

I also referenced to Xarkly's latest post because I think it has great points that could also benefit the whole RP and system behind raids. Not the complete structure of it, but the key details that refine it to be more beneficiary to LoTC and it's community!

Would ideally just be some minor burn edits to wooden buildings done by ETBs or WDs, goons would not be allowed to take pick and axe to your builds.

Yep my main focus is ensuring that raids stop being an event that essentially kills a settlements activity for 2 hours while ensuring that it is actually more engaging than it was for both participating parties.

It's an okay system, I don't think it needs to change much, but I only have to say one thing... They really should be warned of in advance or not even allowed if an announced event is already happening, like.. Festivals. Only issue I have.

Otherwise, the complaining due to ooc factors or lack of defense shouldn't influence how raids work.

Raid rules are better than they used to be. I think at its core they should be left alone. They'll never be perfect and continuously tweaking and messing with them just causes disdain and instability.

 

However, what needs to be addressed is raids with little to no RP backing, and raids done by the same OOC people who have clearly just been targetting a group OOC across multiple identically-behaving bandit characters.

refer to the magic of the google forum. But yes I'd very much like to see a good portion of the raiding community back up their villainy and raids with actual motivations or reasons from their characters. Watching people hop on their random masked raiding alt and get thrown equipment earned by totally unrelated characters is very irritating. For those paying attention they'll have noticed a significant uptick in VBs being handed out of late.

Also this, raids that exist just to derail people having a good time because you hate their guts is such a shitty toxic thing to do and happens all the time

Tbh this isnt something that needs to be prioritize, in my opinion the unrestricted freebuild and the insane OP factor of them against nations tiles merged with bad war rules should be the priority atm.

[wolfdwg 2677]

guys lets remove war too, that rarely even happens too haha xp

War rules are significantly higher stakes and more complicated. While they are being looked at currently it takes quite some time to properly develop improvements even with community input.
