raids are dumb

[fuazo]

raid enemy have stupid path finding and they often stuck in terrain or refuse cross the water or they just phase through walls
especially if you blast them with explosives (grenade launchers etc)
(sometime when your base pal react to the raid while one of the raid enemy are out of bound even after the game notifying successful defense that ONE DUDE just have to stare at the guy in space )
(oh speaking of grenade launchers if you do charge punch against a wall in the dungeon you can go out of bound and re enter by summoning your mount close to the inside of the wall [you can skip boss fight with this as you never have to touch the level trigger] )

just when i thought i dont have to deal with masses of mindflayer in ultrakill.....here comes a
raid full of "teleport , nothing personal kid" samurai
a raid that my base supposed to be able to stomp through 2 of my pal died because they are in my team and NO ONE IN THE BASE ARE DEFENDING
bruh
no wounder why yesterday after i came back from work that my base are all blown up

they dont give a dam about what you do to them till they arrive at your base (hello? im roasting you alive can you have your attentions please?!)

and raids are practically something you dont have to give cr@p to cause when they time is up they just...retreat....what even is the point

i ended up turning off raids because my base kept being raided by birds flying over my walls and oneshotting my base pals below level 20. at some point its no longer a challenge and just a nuisance

They are great exp if you can kill them. They are easy to kill too because like you say, they are dumb and get stuck. So I just design my base so they all funnel to a door that is closed and I shoot them dead. Flyers though are annoying. They are just pals though and easier to kill than the tanks that human opponents can be.

Raids currently have no purpose other than "annoyance". There's no benefit, no reward, no challenge. Until they're updated to actually make them have a useful purpose, it's best to just turn them off.

Yeah, I've noticed the pathfinding is completely broken and the enemies just get stuck somewhere.

i wish they can rob or have goal of just want to destory your entire base (priority : pal box , turrets , chest , beds)
personally havent meet much fly raids...but samurai is annoying as ♥♥♥♥ ( male mindflayer ass dudes...[GET THE ♥♥♥♥ OUT OF MY BASE{Giannini voice}] )

I disagree. Early-Mid game raids are a great way to catch pals you wouldn't find easily in the wild (Relaxasaurus, Lovander, the lizard in a hoodie, etc.).

[Mavrah]

Yeah, I thought raids were a bad joke until I got spammed with a horde of Pokemon three levels higher than me.
They one-shot all 17 of us then just floated around doing nothing.
I'm disabling raids now.

i lost 7 hours worth of ore

[jusdemented]

I've only been playing for an accumulated 10 hours or so and I keep on getting raided. It was great to capture some pals I didn't have, but honestly, they're really annoying. I got raided by thugs, killed them, made sure everything was okay then went to sleep. When I woke up, I got raided again. It's freaking annoying. I'm gonna turn them off the next time I log in.

[notFore]

As a heads up, don't be like me and disable raiding in the settings while a raid is happening. The Pal AI bugs out and starts binge eating while doing absolutely nothing. Raids just suck when the AI pathing is still buggy as hell.

Wrong, especially for early to mid game. That's when you really want to be exploring the world and capturing 10 Pals each, not wasting time babysitting the buggy AI just for 1-2 unique Pals.

I liked raids in my single player campaign, but I had to disable them on the server I host because we kept having issues with lvl 43-45 raids spawning in on my newer players when they were only like lvl 13-20 since for whatever reason the server was setting the raiders lvl's to my lvl, and not the lvl of the player/guild they were actually attacking. (note: we were NOT guilded, I play solo guild wise since I'm server host and just join my family/friends for playing together without being guilded)
