Ground shaking event

[Kahale]

This event sucks ass. Look up and half my buildings are destroyed. You can fix this by adding a two min warning before the start of the event.

There are multiple solutions to this problem, but I guess cheat mode is one of them if you must. I prefer to exhaust all other possibilities first.

[fastforward]

just kill the trolls fast, spears work very well against them, even with the bronze spear a troll dies after 2 parrys. with iron and upwards it only takes to parry once.

How everyone here acts like a message 20-30sec before something's attacks, is so horrible. Let's rather ask if any text is removed, so that you only notice something when you hear it clatter :D.
Survivalgame-communities are something for themselves. Always funny to read Discussions about such games xD.

What I did was raise the ground around by base by 4 startiong at the highest point so it was even all around than made it so it was as wide as a floor peice. Than I cecored the inside and outside in stone and wood to hide it and went on my way. even if trolls come and demo part of it, they arnt getting in due to the raised ground. Neither is any other raid. Drakes are also not an issue as again they target you, nothing else, and there attacks don't do much damage once your up to the stage they spawn at. Just snipe them from high ground and enjoy easy frost gland farms.

I'm still early in the game so haven't seen the troll and higher attacks but the rumble events should be an Oh ♥♥♥♥ moment if you aren't prepared. If you have a warning that it's coming you have plenty of time to get the buffs up, get in position and kite. No warning means you have to keep the buffs up and have good defenses.

People defend the mechanics of the game because those mechanics are what they like about the game. Building a base you have to defend with no warning is what makes the base building interesting. It's not just a cool base, it's a cool defended base.

Unfortunately, the best form of defence rn is cheesing it building things the AI can't work out how to traverse. I'm hoping they get smarter and we have to start building actual traps and fortifications.

But you do get a warning, and things do take a few moments to spawn and than to wander over your way. Raids will for the most part spawn along the outter edge of the red circle in any available spawn location. They then stand there for a bit before their AI kicks in and they start heading to you. Just you, not your base, just you.
You should only ever get 1-3 trolls spawning her wave.

Even very early game fresh after killing the first boss I never really had issues with troll raids. Never had to really cheeze their ai or such. I just went out and pew pewed. Heck their raids are why I have so much troll hide that I hope they really give us more uses for it.

I think you are not getting the point here. I know how to defend my base from them. With a base as large as mine any defense you employ is going to be ugly as hell building cool big bases is what I like about this game. The point of my post wasn't to get advice on how to defend my base but to try and get the attention of the developer. Adding a early warning message doesn't take anything from the game and would significantly improve experience of the waves.

The problem is YOU, the warning system you are proposing is not needed and by a large majority of these posts it is not even wanted.

Tough love.

And I thought these events were scarce and easy to deal with ... "The Forest is moving" is a joke, same for drakes and Surtlings. Still waiting for "Fuling Raid events" for endgame players.

This is why for my 3rd play through I went to modding. The mod Custom Raids lets you make and share your own raids. I've created a few that allow old raids to still happen, but they become harder to deal with as you progress, like more mobs spawn, and higher chanse at 1-2 star versions to pop up, so you get more variety in raids and they ramp up as you progress.
Like the drakes once you beat the Miss 'im just gona fly off way over here and make you have to climb up to poke me' not only get drakes, but wolves on top of it. once you meat yog, the golems join the mix and everything else get bumped up to mostly 1-2 star spawns.

Plus custom biome restricted raids and open world raids. Just one of the mods I'm using to add in extra challenge to the base game.

Lol all these people acting like a warning message system would ruin the game. What a bunch of fools.

Lol the irony..builds base so lousy that he can´t defend it and calls others fools..

I had my 1st Troll attack the other day, 2 buggers started knocking on the walls wnting my attention so i ran outside and they automatically just followed me and ignored the base. 3rd one joined and i got rid of them.
I had only just repaired my weapons and was about to resume my chores when i was suddenly attacked by the Swap raid, lol.

This has happened twice now, in a relatively short space of time; a Troll attack followed by a Swamp attack.


On another note, i had a 3rd Swamp attack that only had a couple of Skellies, which i left to die on my Stakes and aftera few minutes the event 'timed out' so to speak and the remaining mobs just walked back into the forest.

Ami to assume that in some cases you could just hole up/perma-kite these mobs until the event ends?

There are ways to prevent spawning in the base. I have some fairly large bases and never have things spawn in them.

Makes more sense for the developers to work on meaningful things rather things that are not an issue.
