I (5k gaming hours) was refreshing my port bases on server 1027, when I spawned into a raider attack along the Broken Highway . I have an open Tavern there to welcome new players. It is/was guarded by maxxed out Dalinsia, Lian and a Fleetfoot dancer. They killed 12+ T3 Raiders with good loot, Lian also got killed. I saw no tornado, no dark clouds, no fog, no empty purge base and no pineapple, just a battle of humans in the sunshine. Btw, what armor is that? What event or encounter or bug is that? Sry, no data or better screenshots available - it was too quick…
Edit 01:
Since the May 6th post I have lost 8 more rebirthed and maxxed out Dalinsias or better, thralls able to deal with the Champion. I was a day late since decay and normally they would have been hanging in the sky or waiting on the ground.
Again they were killed by raiders called Head Hunters II and III - those npc’s carrying the unknown armor on the screenshots. I don’t know what can kill 8 thralls within 5 min that themselves alone are strong enough to deal with the Champion.
Don’t feel sry for me, I have 70+ legit 20-lvl thralls on that server, feel sry for the proud noob whose first Dalinsia gets killed while hanging around in a tavern by maybe…hmm…an undisclosed wiping algorithm?? Especially as there is no Headhunter Event or anything similar going on…I 'll send this to Xevyr and see what he makes of it.
Edit 02:
Ok, I have a feedback. WAK4863 thinks it’s a bug not a wiping algorithm, because he and his thralls were attacked deep INSIDE HIS BASE by numerous Heat Hunters as described above. He has it on video and is forwarding it. He says he doesn’t know what to make of it…So we will have to wait for a more official statement.
