Am I just beeing "lucky" ?

[Kozzy68]

I keep finding more and more big bases with tons of defence in ruins and invaded with ton stuff left behind free for taking. like 1000 of coals or planks ton of inspirationals. Seeds of all kinds. Its quite bore. I not even in mood to cary that over to base as it is too much. I presume some kids will find it super cool but to me it just spoils fun. I wonder if somone really grinds to get all items way they were ment to be obtained on server. Its just not one base I have found like this.

Also it is quite woriing to know that no matter how manny walls and defence you got it wont help you. It might stop some noobs maybe at very high time cost. Towns had like 50 or maybe more baziares and 2 layers of plank walls stone walls etc .... Also it seems they did not had such great loot based on the infrastructure I see left there. So I really I ask if its worth to loot such big defence just for few ingots of metals and some 7% ether stuff.

that kind of stuff is left behind for exactly the reason you stated: sometimes it's just less of a hassle to grind them yourself vs. porting it through boston.
You'd be surprised what kind of stuff can be found in towns and even noobish-seeming claims.

Several ppl have posted messages along these lines. Are you playing on Popham or Providence?

[Kozzy68]

Im on Prov.

I wonder if its even worth making proper def. it will only make strong players curious and since its so easy for them to break it or they have nothing better to do in game anyway tey do it. I presume there is quite lot 500 or more bile characters out there and breaking 5 plank walls is as easy for them as for me breaking split fence.

My guess is that only propper def is to be on guard constantly 24/7 and have more than 500 biles

There are other ways to defend then being on 24/7. Most of those bases the items that were taken by the raiders were silver and other rare or hard to produce materials E.G. Gold, Glass Panes, Silver bars, Copper, Steam Distillers, and any sort of store item. One of the times I was raided I had 84kg of gold flakes and they didn't even bother taking that they just grabbed my silver and a couple halberds...

thats probably not intended by devs to be like this. Economy of the server seems screwed. I like part of the game where one starts from nothing and slowly creates someting but its so easy to loose all randomly and so easy to just randomly find stuff.

Maybe that second server with periodic whipes is better in some aspects than.

My suggestion is play longer before making certain assumptions. The economy is fine. The base of the game of starting from nothing in a sandbox is a variable. I had nothing but my character a couple months ago when I moved my base. I am already back to where I was and further since then. Not trying to speak for the JC directly but raiding and losing is part of the game and finding an old base that has been abandoned is part of that. My old base is out there for anyone bold enough to break in and test to see if the pclaim is paid.

If you want that 'fresh start' feeling then I do suggest you try to play the expeditions. Some players very much like the thrill of scavenging the lands and finding treasures from those who have walked before them though.

those bases are probably from before defense buff, or the claims were expired and people looted without crime

I read even a plank wall now is strong defense

I get paranoid too, whenever I feel like I invested a lot of time into a base

better exercise the idea you can't prevent every attack, I logoff for some longer periods, pretend i lost the base, go play other games, then come back and do little things, it's my favorite experience

there's lots of defense ideas like make your base look poor, study some wall strategies

until the next raiding update you can probably relax

[Kozzy68]

thats fair, I have found already 3 - 5 bases like that so Im probably not just lucky. Dont take me wrong here I like that feer of beeing rided thats is ok part of the fun. Im ok if I get raided by people of equal level or maybe bit strohger to who finds my 10 metal ingots and 10 hides a big tresure. Or as punishment to not investing time in defence by weeker dudes. What I dont like is beeing rided by somone who takes 1h to break defences which took 6 month to make just to find out that all stuff I have is trash for him and take my 10 metal ingots and adding them to his pile of he 50000 ignots already has. Its like PVP iniciated by 50 level warrior vs 5 level monk wich you cant avoid.
