How bad is offline raiding?

[Waahson]

My buddy and I only played PvE so neither of us know what basing on PvP is like.

How often will we be getting raided when offline? Are there containers that we can store our very best loot in that are extremely difficult to get into? I suppose getting raided frequently isn't horrible, just so long as my most important stuff is difficult/not worth the effort getting to.

Also, I think I remember there being a problem where people would log in to find that their castle was completely removed overnight. Are we going to have to rebuild every time we get offline raided? Cause that's a deal breaker.

With the current state of the game there is nothing you can do to prevent offline raiding. It was made worse when they decided to let people see in game who is online/offline.

No amount of servants, spawns and walls will stop someone from getting into your base and clearing it out if they want to.

Some things are free to rebuild and others are not. If I remember correctly walls and decorations are free but stations are not. The main thing you'll lose is everything valuable.

If you're on Full Loot PvP then you can have your entire castle deleted.

Offline raiding is super toxic for a game with progression like this. Rly wish there was a mode where you could have a "match" of this game with shorter or faster progression in some way.

[Hank Hilldiver]

You can only raid in the raid window that the admin sets up. Some servers only allow raiding 1 hour every day.

Anytime you get raided you can rebuild everything that was destroyed in your base for zero cost.

You get a chest that no one but you can open and you put all the valuable items in it.


Its not that bad unless you play a sweaty server and only play 1 day a week. The game progression is short enough you can do most everything in the game loop in about a week until more content is released.

Raiding is limited to hours, you can be online for it... some servers have raiding only on weekends too. As for actual frequency it depednds, there is not that much to gain from raiding so its not like people raid each other 24/7 but if you piss wrong people off you can get cleaned over and over. Typical MP survival stuff.

Buildings are not destroyed but disabled so its not hard to rebuild and refarm the simple mats... biggest loss are prisoners usually if you had them near chests.

You get 1 unraidable chest per castle usually... as for other valuables you can craft high level items and put it on servants, which then cant be stolen.

Tbh, the experiance can vary wildly... it depends on particular server settings too, but from my somewhat limited experiance if you dont overfarm getting up from a loss is not bad.

Not entirely true, there is a mod that prevents offline raiding.

[Exsanguinator]

I doubt very much a meaningful amout of servers have that mod installed. As it is you can save your most valuable stuff in that one chest(12 or 16 slots maybe), but anything you left refining over night can and will be gone. It is not woth the time it will cost you. I suggest PVP with Castle raiding off or the modded ones if you can find one. If you want the boss bonus thingy look for non unique settings, because otherwise the first to kill those boses has them and without castle raiding there is no way to get them.
Would be fun though, if the only raidable castle was one holding them.

The only thing you can make your castle safe when you offline is shut the server you rent/owned down, a door forgot to close may be a disaster. Another problem is to keep people believe you rent/owned servers for public and run in fair way for long time, otherwise you need rent some people to play with you.

what is plentiful shards?

also how do you go about assigning player slots when the base claim system is being changed? as far as we know there isnt going to be 50 castle locations in the update

[TheS1X]

We mimic official servers - Same provider (G Portal), same settings and same player slots.
Only difference we have is disabled raids and because raids are disabled, shards must be set on plentiful. Shards are relics you can get if you kill main bosses.

PS: The reason to create such server was because folks who have kids and a job.

About how many castles will fit on a map? I don't know, there is no official source for that yet. If I count plateaus on a map that we have now, I can get easily more than 50.
But if there will be some problems with space, we will manage somehow.
This is the + side of private servers where there is actual support to take.

ah yeah i totally get that. iv only played on pvp and i enjoyed it but the raid window happened to line up exactly when i had to log off so i never did any raiding, and i got offlined which wasnt fun

sounds good though. raiding and gear upkeep costs were my only issue with the game and hopefully the upkeep is somewhat adressed by the update. ill join in your server if theres space

[TheS1X]

Yeah, we have space but be aware that we need to wipe when Gloomrot releases.
Most of us are just practicing bosses atm...
Not designing nice castles atm because it will sadly be gone at 17th May :(
But, Gloomrot will be worth the wait, so hyped.
