Base Destruction [Video]

Then make corner posts repairable. The fact that they are not is just another example of what I was saying regarding the disparity of power.

Its almost like raiding a village, pillaging or destroying hundreds of hours of work, and potentially driving paying customers from the game should involve a little effort and sacrifice on the part of the raiders. Happy fun town is going to spend hundreds of hours rebuilding if they do so at all. I really couldn't care less about the 12 hour time investment of raiders.

Palibashing is a return on the hundreds of hours the raiders invested in hunting bears and farming cows for cheese. The fact people choose months of cheesefarming but won't camp a ram shows there's something wrong with the siege mechanics, but it's not a trivial investment on the behalf of the raiders.

I would agree with you if there was an actual fight when people raid but thats not what happens. What happens is people start and complete a raid before anyone even knows they were there in a lot of cases, or its discovered so late no defense can be mounted. Because of this you only have to have one leveled character to act as the palibasher itself. Everyone else could be freshly minted alt as they are basically stevedores.

I see your point though. The idea is not to make raiding impossible, just to make it preventable with effort short of a brick wall. You know I might not even mind losing my base and starting it over again if I had a good fight and a experiance/story out of it. Whats the up side of just logging in to your devastated town after work one day? Wouldn't it be cool to load up your final fantasy game of 100+ hours to find Sephiroth had invaded your save file and murdered your party while you were sleeping? Oh well, I guess I'll start again. HOW FUN!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of someone losing their base in their sleep (I lost my first village in world 3 to russians jumping the brickwall with the crossroads glitch while I was in bed, which is just as sudden). But if you know the attack is possible, probably inevitable, and do nothing to prevent it, who is responsible? "Sephiroth" is a player too and he played hard to make it happen.

I even managed to piss off Borka and Tonky more than the actual victims of the raid

Yeah thats not true at all, I just got so distraught to wake up and see all of my animals dead, my house gone, the silk, the food. This raid hit me mostly since it was my stuff that was ruined. The rest of our village managed to take it a bit better.

Glad you liked the moat. That was also mine.

If you think that we arnt pissed off its cuz you cant even see any further than anger and not see how actual sadness looks like.

[Firesky]

anyways, hope you guys manage to build a real happy town sometime if you ever decide to come back, and i really hope you do come back, maybe after a bit of a break, or taking advantage of the holiday time.
but please note that happiness is not something you can earn one time for forever - it can come and go repeatedly, in other words, itll definitely come again, but can go again too.

Thanks you and we will see. The laughing as all my animals got killed did kinda fuck me up so yeah
