Buff C4!

[Rolarin]

C4 is incredibly weak! It takes 11 C4 to break through a wall. The amount of time it takes to blow through a wall resource wise is incredibly high. Raiding is not even feasible once people have metal. This is ridiculous.

[Rolarin]

Bump.

[AcOrP]

Lol

[Wolf]

no raiding should be hard

[leavaris]

so we got prople crying about being raided and people crying they cant raid... this is glorious!

[deathmasterl]

How about you go for the Doors instead of the Walls? I mean seeing as they have less health then the walls it might be a easier and quicker way to break in.

As for the relative strength of C4 vs Metal the amount of resources and time to make a metal base vs the amount of resources and time it takes to make C4 I'd say they're about even. Metal should offer a much greater resistance to being able to raid/break in to a structure so in turn you should have to prepare just as well to raid it.

Already to easy to raid lol.

[Rolarin]

Lol, are you serious? you guys think it's EASY to raid metal? What a bunch of noobs.

[Lonedog]

So, 1 metal wall requires 11 C4 to blow it up. Each C4 Charge does just under 1k dmg and metal walls have 10k hp. To use C4 you need a Detonator. Detonator is 20 polymer (40 Cementing paste & 40 Obsidian), 50 electronics (150 Pearls & 50 Metal Ingots), 10 Crystals, 10 Metal Ingots (20 Metal Ore), and 15 Cementing Paste ( 60 Chittin & 65 Stones). This just gets you the detonator. Now, you need your 11 C4 Charges. I won't break it down to its core raw materials, but these are the refined requirements. 825 Gunpowder, 275 Crystals, 55 Cementing Paste, 550 Fiber, 55 Hide, and 110 Polymer. All to destroy 25 Metal Ingots and 7 Cementing Paste wall. Seems heavilly unbalanced to me.

Yeah, but a base is not only a wall, but lot of wall + roof + fundation and so on. With a small base I'm pretty sure you have huge amount of metal/paste required to make this base. Unless your goal is removing his metal base from the map (nothing left), it doesn't seem that bad

[ScubaSteve]

I dont understand how these people think its balanced. I agree raiding shouldnt be a cake walk but right now C4 damage is underpowered and any person that has played long enough to get to metal tier and raiding would know that. Obviously these people have not.

[Surt]

And I'm wondering why going for the wall intead of the door?

[Monkatraz]

While I will agree that the C4 costs are too much for just getting through one wall, I don't think the damage is wrong. It would become too easy to raid if it only took 1 or 2 C4 to break through the wall.

But you forget, you only need to blow that one wall and you'll likely have all the resources you want on the inside to make up for that loss. Pretty sure that's a fair trade. Gotta risk it for the biscuit.

Not to mention that poor OFFLINE soul you're about to murder in his sleep. Cause..PvP...
