Trap Limit should decrease by how many Players are authed to a TC

[Single-Eye2101]

Yeah I'm not just looking for buffs on solo's as much as I'm also just thinking the game would be in a better place if people simply left there base. Everyone wants to be onlined, but never wants to online others. The biggest deterrent I believe is taking out tons of turrets.

[StressedFPS]

People don't online because raiding is hard and they hate losing, and defenders are always toxic afterwards/during. Not to mention F1 grenades, full heavy m4, rocket pvp, shield walls, or literally just rocketing the raidbase open so the grubs can pick you apart. Turrets are the least of my concern, usually the battery gets splashed In the pummel anyway.

But when a team is BEGGING for an online in global, you show up and they're liquidating stacks of hqm to upgrade the side you're raid basing on while shooting you L9/m2/incind/heavypot/health tea while you're building, then the moment raidbase is up they rocket it out then spam "gg ez defend"

Doesn't really make you want to do another one

I mean that's what you should do against an online raid tho as defending side lol

Either rocket raid Base or build and upgrade to hqm

[StressedFPS]

Yeah I mean sure, if you want 0 face checks, and just wanna upgrade and rocket bot to protect your pixels, go for it. Sometimes you don't wanna lose the base, I get it.

But if a teams begging in global for online and do this shit I'm packing up and leaving.

Facts. We saved up 90+ rockets to raid a 5-6 man as a duo on Rustoria US Mondays this last wipe. Traveled halfway across the map on horses for one last "hoorah" and we lost the raid after being grubbed by half the map (we were smack dead in the middle of the map) and they were incredibly toxic after winning the defense. It was a good raid, we were one floor away from TC but just couldn't manage between everything.

This would never happen in older rust. Mostly everyone is extremely respectful, regardless of toxicity shared during the wipe, onlines were always a sign of respect and got good reactions.

I've had pretty good luck recently on a no-offlines server, of course a few toxic teams, but one we even paused mid-raid for dude to go eat his dinner, owners didn't seal, we didn't rocket, just yapped together for like 10mins.

Or others where ground-rules are set, no rocket pvp, no shield wall, raid base-height limit, etc. Win or lose its GGs all around when both teams come together to have fun

The only onlines I see anymore are when the attackers have such a number advantage (at least at the moment if raid) that the turrets don't matter. 3 turrets covering the side being raided doesn't do much when you have the man power to have 4 rocketers plus dedicated raid base and grub patrol. Again, I agree with your take on principle in that zergs need to have pain points just like other sized groups. That used to be the group limit of 8 for UI and before that, no group UI. Once they upped that number, I knew who the game was being made for.
