My SG loved base raids and it was a fun way to get newbs involved in PvP. Sadly, most of my SG got bored with this game and have moved on, but I for one, would like to see them come back. Somehow, I think that won't be for a long while yet. The devs hate bases.

Will you be the key to the Knives of Artemis' survival? or the instrument of their destruction?
The devs also hate Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny.
Not that I don't agree that it's high time that bases get an "extreme makeover" as far as the construction and raiding systems are concerned.

Moderators, OTOH, hate petition threads. Not that I don't agree that it's high time that bases get an "extreme makeover" as far as the construction and raiding systems are concerned, but to use a phrase, IBTL. |

I wouldn't hold your breath on them bringing the raids back any time soon. The Devs kind of gave us a message that the base raiding wasn't high on their list of things to fix when they removed the raiding rules for base building. My base looks a lot better now, but it came at a cost.

I did at first, but after the advice of Obsidius I edited it. I just want people that miss Base Raids to speak up; however I dont want to get the post locked for a petition so now its just a topic to talk about.

I was not around when Base Raids still were. From pics and youtube videos it looked really fun. Too bad the Devs are on a mission to get rid of anything PvP related. |

This thread really should be in the suggestions area though.

They didn't shut it down because they didn't like it, They shut it down because it was full of bugs. I know for a fact that they have tried to fix the bugs, but the bugs were taking too much time to find. This is very low on their list of things to fix now. If they have to chose between spending time fixing a PvP problem or working on new content like i16, they will chose new content. There are just not that many people that PvP compared to PvE players. The Devs time will always go to what the largest number of players will like.

Base raids were a lot of fun the rare time that I got to try them. Sadly, I don't think there are the development resources to have people spending time working on this.
I had a tons of fun when Base raids were around.
Proton Sentry Peacebringer:lvl 50+++ - Human Build / Triform Build
Quasar Sentry Warshade:lvl 50+- Human Build / Triform Build
Red Katipo Arachnos Soldier:lvl 50+++ - Crab Build / Bane Build
Black Katipo Arachnos Widowlvl 50+++ - Fortunata Build / Night Widow Build
Our sg did raids about once a month had a blast doing them. It was something the group looked forward to. We are bummed that they were takin away and most have moved on now. Bring em back!!!!

They broke the pathing and then opted to let it be and shut raids down. I don't recall them ever trying to fix the bugs. As you said, it was more a matter of low priority than them even making more than a half-hearted attempt to look at it.

Interestingly when I13 dropped the PvPers were told "we are going to be devoting more resources toward maintaining and improving PvP, and we are not going to be ignoring it any longer." While most of the changes since then have been for the better (mostly tweaks and such) the system still sucks compared to what it was before I13. Now we've been told that the future of PvP is on hold for a while, which makes us wonder what "we're not going to be ignoring it" means.

I wish they simple would stay away from pvp since they don't have any competent person for it and listen to RPers for feedback.
I had some fun times in a couple base raids. Being away from the game for the last couple months like I have, has made me look back at all the good times we had Test Ladder PvPing pre-I13 and wonder again why oh why the devs decided to attempt to fix PvP and not listen to us or anyone that people would have called hardcore PvP'rs from that time. I am scared to see what is going to be awaiting me or even if any of my friends will be playing when I can get back on the game come middle of December.
Sorry for the mini Psypunk post there.
So yeah they need to fix and return base raiding, it was normally fun for all, the Hardcore PvP'rs to the never really have PvP'd before. I never really heard a huge complaint after one, just how much fun most people had.
