What determines raids on dedicated servers?

[Sulya Sparrow]

So, we are 5 players on my dedicated server. A couple of us has taken the elder, some has taken Elkthyr, and the rest has taken no bosses.

The question is: What triggers raid-tiers?

Is it that the Elder has been killed on the server, and thus all players risk getting Elder-tier raids, even though they have just started out?

Or is it player-specific, so that raids is based on what players are online, and what bosses they have completed?

Raid flags are stored on the map save, not character save, and are set when the appropriate kill is made. Some raid types are activated/deactivated by boss kills, others are by any death of a particular creature (plus specific boss kill).

The general logic for single-creature-kill is "Raid x possible if boss y has been killed, unless boss z has also been killed." I'm not sure of any combination types that have an "off" trigger (for example, once you've killed The Elder and at least one Troll has died on the map, "The Ground is Shaking" becomes a possible raid and never stops being so).

Also remember that creatures don't necessarily have to be killed by a player character to count, they just have to have died.

Ok very thanks for your answer I think I have a clearer idea, it's a pity that's the case.. in this way my friends who have villages in other islands could be attacked by high level raids :\

When the public test branch version comes to stable branch/main branch, you may be able to utilize the server controls to adapt that.

We don't know if all of the options will be brought to the main branch or when
