A Message To New Players

[colesie]

With the recent update to how raids are done it is very likely going to make raiders start "baiting" you to come outside of your base.
You can see the update here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4059#p46826

Because it is hard to break into your claim now, people will take the easy route of trying to get you off of it instead.
Some common tactics may be things like offering you items/dead animals/dropping tools near your base or by simply asking you to come outside of your walls for whatever reason.

Just a warning in advance and if I see any QQ threads about this they'll be directed to this post.

...be sweet if raiders started doing this

The Russians have already set this into motion before the update (big game offerings). But a heads-up to newcomers is still a good idea.

This is exactly how I almost got killed when I was new in hnh, the offering of a deer and not by Russian players I might add, lol. It is so easy to fall for when you are a new player, someone being 'friendly', the excitement of a deer/bear that you are, as yet, unable to aquire, very tempting.

It's a shame more new players do not spend some time reading the forums at the start of their game play, most appear once an issue has already occured. I deal with a lot of newbs with the things I sell and majority of them have never visited the forum, I do tell all of them they should and that there is a wealth of information to be had that will be helpful to them, but, a lot stil don't. I've even had them ask me 'what forum? - I didn't know there was one'!

It's kind of ironic when I stumble across someone new and offer them something, but they refuse to take it.

Epic sadface. I just wanna be a cuddly carebear man...

Well if you want to destroy the waste claim you'll have to leave your base any ways.

I just don't know if waste claims can also be pclaimed by the attacker so that either party can only attack one another after the waste claim has become active.

The "new" system, is just like the old one now, nothing has changed except you have an advanced warning your about to be raided, giving you time to evac everything from the base.

If you think this new system is any better than the original system (before health updates) you are sadly mistaken.

4 hour destroying window on the raid claim ? Lets see you kill them 20 russians standing next to it, better yet, lets see you destroy the wall around the waste claim, oh wait whats that ? I now need a waste claim to do this, but but but, they set up waste claim before me, therefor i insta lose.

Yea imho all this new system has done, is given the defenders an advanced warning so they can remove everything + relocate(Very good thing). Nothing about raiding bases / destroying will change. The revert of the health is a step in the wrong direction.

Unless the construction cost of the waste claims is huge, nothing has changed, ignore this post, you are no safer than you was 4 weeks ago.

Raiders just need to plan a raid better, put the health caps back.

When I played HnH I was offered deers, bears, and boars by Russians. They were very friendly and gave me numerous meats.

[JinxDevona]

That's true as well. In H&H some kind Russians gave us gifts of animals, but knowing we would be scared to come out, they would put them near our gate and walk around to the side to give us a safe distance to run out, get said animal and return to the safety of our walls. So, with that said, if they are close enough to approach before you can get back inside, just don't go out. Better to be safe then sorry.

Just added a sticky to this for a few days while people get used to the new system
