And as I expected he confirmed that the server population has been crashing due to the offline raiding going on and lightning, etc. Server had been pretty much full for weeks and now it is down to about 20. I know three large clans that have left. Happens all the time with Official servers.
False, with a foundation you can detect land claim. This is how we detect bases on trees, bridges …
This need to be fixed too.

Clearly the op is enquiring about official severs so even if what you say is true which it probably is… what’s your point
I guess I don’t understand… how would we not want it if it was never tried on official severs?
So we have to play private severs or we don’t want dbd bad enough? What do you have to gain from shooting things down that you have no connection to whatsoever.
Funcom have much larger exploits to worry about than the low impacting ones that might pop up do to dbd.
Guess what so are some admins who get a power trip… hint hint
It really does seem like you come into threads for the sake of arguing
I see zero harm of at least making a few severs dbd.

oww I hope it will be fixed one day. so impossible to be discreet then . the best option is to build a house close to the area xD

I’m so tired of every week, not playing for ONE night and log in the next day to find my base raided and looted. Honestly for the last month it happens every week — not too crazy hard to rebuild but I’m getting tired of it nor do I want to have to watch my base EVERY night (like a job). Just not enjoyable.
People have been begging for anything resembling offline raid protection for a long time, at least since last year, I am new to the forums, so I am still playing catch up on a lot of the history of these conversations, I prefer to spend my time in game playing, (but with all the bugs, freezing, lock-ups and crashes I have plenty of time to read and join in these wonderful discussions).
With the announcement of Forced Server Transfers (remember those heady days, I lost 3 bases, on 3 servers!!! good times) people were hoping maybe Funcom might institute some kind of mitigation to the 7 day raid window, as it seemed like a natural time to instigate some needed changes.

missed opportunities, swing and a miss, again and again, until everyone just shrugs their shoulders and walks away.

Great news. Id love to also see a few official servers with a full monthly wipe. Maybe dbl xp and harvest.
Lots of fun competition for harvest and base spots etc. after wipe.

There’s your problem. You think everyone who has a different stance has some sort of nefarious plot.
If it makes you feel better, then yeah my plot is so evil and devious that it will end the world as we know it. Its worse then you can imagine. Stopping DBD on officials is one step out of many to get the giant laser to fire on the earth. Will that get it out of your system, I’ve admitted the vast plan.
Come on guy, I’ve already said my personal opinion on DBD. There’s nothing for you to gain in making this about me.

I hear you, @MENISTHETURK , I too was hiding in dark, no lights, farming in dark, try not to make sounds, then take night off and get offlined the type of prison sex no-one wanted.
Then you get back the next day to some walls and some detritus, and you think to yourself, “shitshitshit” well I guess I could have lit some torches after all, well shucks. But you know you are not really alone anymore, because some one is out there watching, waiting for you to build up your materials so they can come and unwelcome themselves to all your stuff again, very violently very very soon.
See my friend you are never alone. 
Oh yes. when you think you’re alone and there enemies watching you from afar it’s very scary crazy xD

I feel you, having to log in 5 hours every day of the week to defend your base is way too much and it really feel like a job. My Clan of 15+ (2 separated ally clans) quit PvP because of this.
THIS!
It could stop offline protection abuse: people that only log in when raiding is off and grow their base. With 24/7 raiding you could be raided at any time you are online.

Well said. I wonder if Funcom will actually listen this time. As mentioned, the server that I was on (and had been full after 3.0) is starting to die as folks quit playing or move to low pop servers due to the non-stop offline raiding or needing to stay online EVERY night to watch their bases. Frustrating that they developed a system to deal with this but refuse to enable it on official servers (even a small number).

I have best idea. They should make bubbel as old days again. That stop everything even trep
Only way to wipe a bubbel was need like 10x gods and orbs. If you build wrong and many ppl raid smart with throw orbs. Let’s have those days back.
And remove fly bat 
and ice bright and Ligth storm.
Then we fine.
I rather get offline raided by 10x god than a noob that offline raid me from fly over my base with bat and spam cheap jars.
Or ligth storm 1 shoot me.
Idea nr
Altar v2
Bubbel the big circle doing dmg to anythinf fly inside. And stop ligth storm and frost bright
And stop trep shoots
Can’t be raided by anything.
This bubbel stand only 48 hours
This bubbel can’t make next bubbel on que. Time and pause it like old. Bubbel. And it take 2 hours to get it Aktiv and all player on server will get messages in chatt list that you Are trying to Aktiv it
So attacker have 2h hours to raid you. befor you enter save mode.
This bubbel need 2000 souls flesh to re Aktiv it
And should be every expansive to first time craft it.
Some thing like this.
5000 steel refc
5000 hard brick
5000 shape wood
1000 human souls.
This can. Fix the offline proc. U can’t go around it
And you have work for it to not be offline raided.
I thinke this. Is best way for pvp.
Many good raider can wipe you befor 30min to 1hours
What are you talking about? They announced it a little bit before they planned to release it along with other changes to PvP settings. There was a big debate on the forums with a lot of people in favor and a bunch of people grumbling ominously about the exploits it would allow. Then Funcom just dropped it with not much in the way of an explanation as to why, though given the bugs it had when it released it’s not entirely surprising. I have a hard time believing it was somehow being beta tested (given what I know about how Funcom beta tests) heavily on private servers between the announcement and the backtrack.

This is true, I went to PVE-C briefly once, and had the whole server hating me within my first few hours of gameplay.
I am used to PVP I just started killing people left and right, ambushing, getting better gear, PVE-C people are not hardened pvp players and then they scream and whine on the server itself to go play “PVP” “CANT HACK IT ON PVP” etc.
PVE-C definitely isn’t what I am looking for and those people can’t take loss at all.
there is nothing a PVE-C player can do to a PVP player to upset their time, however a pvper can ruin a PVE-Cr’s day.

There was no beta test for it, just feedback after it was dropped.
