[QUOTE=Maximum Over;47879541]This is what I'm talking about. Bases aren't raid-proof. No base ever has been, except maybe when exploiting a glitch or playing on modded servers. Bases are meant to be raided. It's been that way since the legacy days. Defenses are there to make raids cost more and take longer, not make them impossible.[/QUOTE] Again ... Why do you keep using impossible. NOBODY is talking about impossible to raid bases. What has been mentioned time and time again, is the IMBALANCE between the resource gathering, crafting, time spend, resources lost, time lost, repair time, repair costs, etc vs the actual raiding ability, time cost etc ... If somebody spend 12 hours on a base building, its illogical that the defenses can be bypassed with less the a hours time. We do not know exactly how long it took the attackers but based upon my experience and his base design ... 24 to 30 minutes max to raid it. That is how long as a solo player it will take me. So 12 hours vs 30 minutes. And then the entire circles starts again. Bases are nothing but chests to be opened for raiders. I mean, why spend time stalking your prey, waiting for them to open a door or reveal a weakness. No ... you just destroy there defenses when they are off-line and there you are. I am going to test the new changes to see how they work out but i know already: a) Stone is still 2 C4 ( somebody already tested that )... So anybody using stone is still in the exact same position as before. b) Anti-ladder protection is just as weak before ( lower side floors ). All that changes in my opinion is that people need to use more C4/Rocket / resources, if they want to use the "dumb" raiding method = just blast your way into a base with C4 without any planning.
The "dumb" raiding method is the majority of raiders on any rust server I'm afraid
[QUOTE=benjiro;47879683]Again ... Why do you keep using impossible. NOBODY is talking about impossible to raid bases.[/QUOTE] Then what are you complaining about? Specifically: [QUOTE=benjiro;47879040]At best it takes them now longer to breach his top floor[/QUOTE] Ladders are a tool to raid. They help people raid. That's it. The fact that defenses "only" slow people down means everything is working as designed. Not sure what's so hard about this to understand, but that's the game.
