Trebs are now 100% useless in raids because people can just bat in and single suicide bomb them.
takes an hour total to set up 1 second to blow it up, they need a advanced version with a HP buff so it takes at least 10 or more bombs (on par with a vault would be nice with comparable material cost) that way you could at least have a chance of killing a spammer that is batting in before they blow a treb .
Sounds good for raiding but it would be bad for base defence if they could fire off more barrages before it can be stopped. I suppose stealing their ammo and distracting/killing the operator would still be options so it would still be balanced gameplay though.
destroying the treb tower and defences and then destroying the treb has always been the way prior as one simply couldn’t scale the often t3 tower (due to anti climb) or shoot through the “blast shield”.
Now the ability to fly straight over has changed all that.
Now destroying trebs is hyper easy thanks to the bat and it creates an inbalance, some bases you cant raid with an active god bubble so you need a treb to raid however its an hour of your time and near zero chance of success right now if actively defended with a bat and a single bomb.
so the solution is either going to wind up we need stronger trebs or god bubbles shouldn’t protect against arrows.
the less part is a problem if it can be stood on it can be blown with ease, takes one second to place a bomb, I tried getting creative placing 100s of chests last time to absorb the blast, didnt work.
It really needs a designed solution, not a creative work around though as its not functional as intended out of the box.
I have bat raided bases like this already, don’t get all your advice from youtube you will end up disappointed.
First of all his archers are useless because he has a god bubble, arrows dont work inside a god bubble, fantastic Very smart youtube PVPER thanks again, I can land next to the archers and kill them, the AI will have a good chance of not reacting and if they do they aren’t that tough, palisades blow easy, the palisades bleed is so weak I could stand on them and even climb them as I place I wear heavy armor and with glutton for punishment lol good luck palisading killing me even if I go afk to get a drink
There is one design that is semi bat protective but I wouldn’t share that its not common knowledge and cave base is far more the meta, cave base and active defense.
I think you missed a few points. He said you could raise the archers outside the the bubble but yes so long as the bat rider keeps the bubble between them and the archer they would still be safe. You could always not use the bubble part. The pallisades were only to stop someone from bat riding up there before pvp starts.
I don’t get all my advice from youtube i just didn’t want to brag about having well over 500 days in game. But occasionally youtubers do have some good ideas too.
The time to build and set up vs ease of destruction
I agree this is a problem. Maybe there could be an armoured and unarmoured version. The unarmoured version would be quick to build but have low hp and the armoured version would take longer to build but with much greater hp.
I (and 7 others) have flown right over 30 or so archers with a bat and had zero issue
the god bubble however breaks the bat flight, but you can go over the god bubble and slow fall down, if they have archer platforms to land on from above the bubble, thats a gift and as soon as I am inside the god bubble the archers are useless, and why would someone stand on the palisade platforms and not the archer towers before pvp starts?
There are people that do real PVP and then there are those youtubing “top 10 hidden bases, unraidable hanging base, pillar base pvp”
