Are hordes supposed to insta break your base?

[8Bit]

Man... like I guess I wouldn't be that upset if I didn't have 3 hordes in 2 hrs of playtime. What the heck? 4 dragon attacks, 4 hunts, and 3 hordes and I'm like 5.2hrs total played. Can we please calm the random attacks down, its not very fun. Like if I am in my house and a horde is attacking they spawn so damn close and if I don't run outside instantly they start just demolishing my entire base.

dont fully inclose your base or they will just go through the walls to get to you.

to avoid dragon attacks at your base is to only build in the start zone next to the church.

to avoid dragon attacks all together is start a new character and world but don't touch the dragon slayer quest from the wise old man, this will keep the dragon from spawning around and attacking u.

Uh, okay but not what I'm talking about.
Why have durability to repair on structures if hordes can swing once and go right through it?
Also these random attacks are just too frequent. I don't care that I am being attacked, I care that I've had so many in 5.2 hrs playtime.

[Holy Athena]

I agree, it actually utterly killed my mood for the game.

Hopefully they will address this on the next patch/hotfix. I don't feel like continuing on playing right now ( got past swamp ), because it's already grindy to get copper and tin, and the base raids are annoying the ♥♥♥♥ out of me when I'm just trying to progress with crafting

[~T~D~]

Ya that and the hunt is way way to often, I'm 5 hours in and have had 10 attacks already.

[BaneBlackGuard]

yeah, clearly still early in development. I'll be back once archery or magic is added. melee does nothing for me. what i've seen seems interesting but there's too many other things to play to spend more time on this right now in it's current state.

[Chancey]

I don't mind being hunted but I feel it's so frequent. I spent a good 40 mins building my base right next to the broken castle where the wizard dude is at and got hunted and they absolutely wrecked my house lol. I was so p!ssed. And it happens so often. I guess it's part of the game but yeah they do one tap my base.

[8Bit]

Yeah I get its still early on in dev, just this seems like a small mistake. **LET ME BE CLEAR I AM HAVING FUN** lol BUT its exhausting when every 20-30 minutes I have to stop to deal with the hunt or horde and then fix anything they screwed up. Its just not a well flowing game loop, I dont want them to get rid of these features but make your building durability count, and slow it down a bit. Worst timing of it all was about a half hour ago I got back to base, got hunted, then went to sleep to get my fatigue taken care of and freaking horde/warband the second im back up. Uuuuugh!

This is so annoying! I had respawned and was stuck in my bed when I come under attack. They smashed through my building with ease. It was a pain in the backside to repair it all as I had fully decorated my house.

[Mirdon The Drunk]

yeah and we need some base defenses too. Spiked walls and maybe some traps of some sort.

would be especially helpful for when you just respawn and are instantly raided while having 0 gear... was "fun" watching half my house i just finished the night before get smashed down while i could only punch them for 1/32 of their health

My favorite! Got whacked way out there poking around for ore. Nice walk back while naked lol. Was instantly attacked being Hunted before I could step outside. Funny but a bit overmuch.
