Turret Update?

[123]

This turret update where the turret shoots the players is crazy. Basically you can't tank out bullets from a turret AT ALL because they won't shoot anything but players.

My question to devs is "What do you do against a base with 200 turrets and set to players only?" and "How will you get rid of all the bullets or even the turrets?".

Come up with a new strategy?... use more platform forts/siege towers? I mean Its been less then one day... try something new.

[123]

platform forts? siege towers? what will that do exactly? Nothing. It has been less than one day but when you make a change this big and there's absolutely no way to get through these turrets that dont shoot anything but players.... other than suiciding and blowing your own stuff into them...

Like why did you guys even buff the stego and trike to tank bullets when you just rendered them useless?

[123]

If you want new strategy. Give tools for the strategy. There are NO tools to get rid of the bullets in the turrets or the turrets other than suiciding and blowing your own stuff up into their base.

[123]

Unless you want to exploit to drain the turrets there is no way to get rid of them

I heard a cannon can take turrets out from range

I heard a cannon doesn't destroy a turret unless it hits directly and that unless you can place a cannon right in front of their base, which you won't be able to because of foundation spam and the fact that you have to blow up all of their stuff near their base. To any decent tribe, foundation spam is common knowledge.

You say quetzal? Too bad it's so slow that you can kill it if they're trying to aim a cannon with it. *Cough fire arrows* *cough comp bow* *cough lightning wyvern*. See that's called tools.

Paracer? You'll have to wipe all of their dinos somehow to aim it else they can bring dinos once you even come near their base.

No one can provide a solution to this.

Stegos are still very good, check out Nerd Parade's testing video. Stego's plates protect you from the turrets targeting players and hit the plates instead dealing reduced damage to the dino as well

if turrets are set to player only, use dinos to block the line of sight.

Only if the turret tower is not tall. If the tower is tall it will shoot you off aka if anyone has built on a pillar or a cliff. It will shoot you off

Anyone can offline raid. Not talking about offline raiding here

Quetzes carrying stegos sharing the bullets missing the rider could be a thing, but would have to work your way from the top down I guess.

Only if offline raiding else fire arrows and compound bow would kill the quetz pretty wuick. Even a wyvern or two or just a ptera picking ghe rider would do a lot of damage.

Using dinos to block the turrets is a solid solution. Even for online raiding. The strategy will most likely evolve to having some dinos block turrets while players get within range. It's viable. Also, put some more points into health and use the tools the devs gave you, Shield/Food/Etc. while you hide behind the dino that's most likely getting wrecked. Best of luck!

Its about time turrest did what they should logically do. They spray bullets at a target but only hit the mount. Seems unrealistic to me. Nkw they spray and hit everything. Much more sense.
