Base Defense?

[whoppa]

I had so much fun exploring and fighting, but I always missed the defense part. Maybe it would be even more fun if there were random miasma attacks on the base and the player had to build defenses like walls, soldiers and moats. Maybe there should be an alarm and the player can beam back to base in the event of an attack.

Best description of this game :D Can't teleport with ore? Oh, let us row the next 30 minutes back and look tv in the meantime ...

It was the single most annoying thing in Fallout 4, everytime those damn warnings that some base was under attack, babysitting everything and everyone, so please dont. IF they implement this will the NPCs die too? Its a mess all around.

As I always repeat: Makes no sense in Enshrouded, cause you can build without physics for example floating fortresses high in the sky, which no one can reach and raid.

Not interested in defence all the time. Maybe a expansion pack with another world/map with more aggressive monsters and maybe a specific zone you have to defend. But within this world maybe have building integrity restrictions.

But don't touch the world/map we have now. I want my floating castle.

Also absolutely against any base defense. They are anoying and boring. They ruin most building, because if there are base attacks for most people the defense aspect dictates them how to build. Most times this turns out in small compact bases that are easy to defend but look ugly. Because building pretty and huge is much harder to defend.

I'm almost sure with such mechanics in Enshrouded my mates would have insisted to either build an underground base or a flying base just for that reason. Both is ugly and anoying.

Since the games doesn't even have building physics anything could be exploited very easy.

Anyway, literally for every survival crafting game with base defense i played so far, the only goal was to find out how you need to build to cheese or even break the AI. Which again leeds to the point i mentioned above. Once you got this, it became boring.

At least base defense has to be optional.

I turned it off in any game that has such mechanics, from Conan up to 7 days to die. Luckily most games allow to turn this ♥♥♥♥ off.

Yes. And here's why:

It can be optional. Everyone is happy.

And, if it is on public servers. The servers could be set up to accommodate either version. Much like PvP and PvE work, but instead it would be PvE and PvE +.

Maybe you will get your wish, in development is a base raid islands mechanic.

make it OPTIONAL, add automated defense turrets (some kinda magic gems/ballista) and guard npc's. Don't have to show up unless you want the "boss loot"(stacks of building mats or something) or you put in no defenses/guards, (toggle chest destruction on/off) raids won't happen if unreachable within x voxels, and give a "gate" like diablo/PoE so you can get right back to biz afterwards. now everyones complaints are addressed and everyone can be happy =)
maybe add a new block that signifies "raid this base" not just anything built, and maybe a toggle for the fire to be damagable or not like chests.

why not find a game with it already available instead of ruining this one? just curios because there are SEVERAL out there that already do this.
