Multiple claim defense mechanics

[Bait]

Interesting, from what I've seen so far only 5 braziers are activated per criminal, if you have more they won't shoot, but maybe my info is outdated.

Only 5? Your base had 6 shoot in sync, and a 7th between... You clearly have no idea wtf is going on, do you?


Edit: I've just read through this, and I would like to let anyone that is reading know, not to listen to anything Darnokpl has to say. He is utterly clueless.

To Darnokpl: If it's SO easy to do, why do I keep logging in? Where's the issue? Why haven't you exacted your revenge, and just taken me out? See this not as a line of questioning, rather as an issued challenge. Come to me, PROVE that walls and braziers are too weak.

I know that this WILL NOT happen... I need not explain why.

Active claim defenses have to be overpowered because the passive defenses are underpowered, as things are now. It's balanced towards active (braziers) because passive walls (stone hedge) are so incredibly weak.

Not trying to nit-pick on this, but it's probably best if we consider walls and braziers (as well as anything that isn't active players) passive defenses. Active defense would actually be live players there defending against an attack. I've really pushed for active style defenses because, no matter how well designed, passive defenses should never be enough to prevent a dedicated group from breaking in. (I can think of some pretty elaborate tower defense schemes to make raiding hard to impossible even with the current walls and braziers, too.)

Just to note: it's been a while since it was stated, but there's at least two more wall types coming. (I'd have to dig up the post on Paradox Plaza on this.) I also believe jorb said there are plans for other types of passive defenses, but hasn't said anything more than that (could be bigger braziers or different types of defenses).

This is in the "Help!" section for a reason, and not in City or HoB. Keep it to mechanics. Use screenshots or video to confirm things if we can't trust each others' words. Any more derailing from certain individuals will end up in bans of at least 24 hours.

Having only 5 braziers protecting your 'vault' when you are trying to raid people is unacceptable. 5 brazier is not max damage btw. They have diminishing returns if they are stacked within the same radius, and the maximum damage has been said to be 10bb drain every 3s, but who knows how many brazier you need for that...more than 10 I'm sure.

Outdated!
Ask Chief & his mates, he saw Bunnyheads taking 5x15 hits.

Although it might be hard for him telling the truth...
