As the title suggests, I would like to know everyone’s opinion. I happened to play conan for a long time, but to abandon the long hours of raids on official servers and consequently lose hours of farm for offline raids. Although the issue can be resolved with a private server, these servers change some vanilla rules by making it different. I recognize that there are people who have a lot of time to play but not all of us are like this, therefore in respect of all it is possible to change the time only on some official servers? 6 hours a day are too many. Offline raids are and always will be the cancer of this game. I propose to bring them to an hour only on some servers for testing or better to bind specific days (different according to the server in order to cover the whole week).
As an adult often in clans with adults, I agree, would be nice to have PVP light weekend raids, then you know you always at least have your weekdays to rebuild /build up, instead of being wiped and utterly smashed.
If raid time was only an hour, it would be too easy to build a base that would take more than an hour to raid.
What they are proposing is not to make it simply an hour, but to have a decent raid period over weekends and have weekdays either raid free or have a short time window on weekdays. They also are only proposing that some servers do this. I totally get where they are coming from as I too work a 8 - 5 during the week.
I ended up finding a nice private server a few months ago that only has weekend raid times and during the week there is still pvp but no structure damage can be done during the week, It’s been really awesome so far. I feel officials could benefit greatly from something like this.
OP literally writes an hour … Or specific days…
One hour raid time is ridiculous. You say you want farm time, you can farm during raid times. If you build properly and properly hide your valuables it would take your enemy 300 explosives and 6 hours to get absolutely nothing of any value. After such cost for nothing, do you think they will be coming back anytime soon?
Frankly I wish they would bring back 24/7 raid times.
I am sure he means that for during the week, and have weekends have longer raid time intervals, I could be wrong and maybe OP can clear that up and confirm what he means.
There goes the nick name UltraViolent . Still 24/7 sis allready exist in private servers, but most of the times it exists with an X10 multiplier, that generally leads to vanity. What i hate the most is raidof, so no more pvp for me.
I generally assume people mean what they write and it specifically says limit to one hour or certain days… But yeah, maybe it doesn’t mean what it says, but I’m still gonna comment on what it says until op says that’s not what it means…
Exactly this. One hour during the week Mon-Fri and two hours on Saturday and Sunday
I do not see how it can touch you since I have proposed some servers to dedicate to this and if it has happened well … It means that maybe there are people who feel the need to be scaled down. Players like you have seen so many, the post was created to respect everyone’s times and it surprises me that the developers have not addressed the issue, many games are adapting to this. It is clear that your playing style is not mine and it is not that of most of the players who replied to my post. Thanks for the advice but I know the game (always done pvp more than 1000 hours) but you are wrong one thing … Who does not guarantee the raid times in this game, cannot be competitive in pvp. This is absurd because the online raid should be encouraged … Not offline. I could do a survey which I think I will do if the post is successful and see what happens. I repeat it would not harm anyone such a choice, you will be able to close yourself in the h24 raid servers as far as I am concerned.
What if the Player List shows nobody during raid times? If we have full weekend raid time, it might balance a few quirks.
There are many ways to balance. I give an example:
1 official server option
Monday-Friday 18.00 / 19.00
Saturday Sunday
18:00 to 20.00
2 official server option
Monday Thursday
No raid
Friday Saturday Sunday
18.00 / 21:00
These are examples … The 1st example is already widely used in private servers. But why not both? Maybe there are people who prefer specific days … Everything can be done just give the player freedom to find the server that best suits his needs or at least have more choice options.
Servers with one hour raid times would either be trolled so hard by clans who build better and can’t be raided in one (or even two) hours, or everyone decent would build so they can’t be raided in that time and only the newbies would be raided. Probably making most new playes leave and essentially making it at pve-c server.
It can easily take more than an hour to raid even a badly build base, if it’s just big enough.
If you just want bases to be unraidable, why not just play pve-c
Because short raid times will only hurt the little guy, which should be the one you want to protect.
The timetable that I have proposed is more than enough, keeping in mind the will of the developer who claims that the raid consists in besieging a clan and not raiding it once. It could be extended to one and a half hours during the week but not more. 6 hours a day, only move players like me and many others away from the official servers, incentivize the offline raid unless you can guarantee the raid time. You can? Ok, I don’t, and like me many others. I don’t see why to be competitive I have to guarantee 6 hours a day. Obviously some balance will have to be made by virtue that with people online the balance between offense and defense will have to be reviewed for a moment, and mechanics such as instant repair during the raid or construction in areas of extreme difficulty to be raided like holes and caves (near to the mound, for example for the more experienced players who know that place) certainly guarantee the formation of toxic clans. You also ask me to play on a pve-c server … I’m sorry but you absolutely don’t understand my post.
Servers also cover multiple timezones. If the window is too tight, it will be more difficult for some than others.
I see your problem, but why not just move to a private with no offline raiding?
Your solution will only create a new problem. Trolls destroying everyone who’re new and trying to build up, while being safe themselves because people can’t successfully raid them in such a short raid window
can you adapt or not? do you know conqueror blade? 1 hour and a half of pvp for everyone is done very well.
Has nothing to do with me; has to do with statistics. The tighter you make the window the fewer people who it will be convenient for. One country can cover a lot of timezones and making an after the fact change can cause some people to be forced off the server.
you start from the principle that you cannot raid in an hour and a half. I think the opposite. The avatars do very high damage in a very short time (1 minute) as well as the bombs, obviously as I said the siege mechanics must be balanced (this regardless of the raid times).
