Think I might have mentioned this before as well. The number 12 comes from way back when Dom was first introduced, when there were ONLY 12 forums available. Yes, it was before Ep2 and before forumbuildr. You had to pwn every single forum in order to get klan vanilla.

Why that number hasn’t been adjusted when 1) the player base has grown so much larger and 2) the number of forums has increased 900%, boggles the mind.

I think you have… at least someone has. Log in to see images!

Yes, and this is bad two ways, as it makes raiding a)easy and b)slow and dull

Whoa, that was a weird double post.

Isn’t that why the bumhole card was increased to 10?

In any case, with the game just not having that many active players, I don’t know why klan raids are designed to be inaccessible to all but the biggest klans.

I definitely agree with this.

Raiders have a huge advantage compared to solo players. To balance this the advantage should at least be restricted to one alt. Theoretically you can raid with 5 alts three times a week and then solo player will always be in brackets with an overabundance of klan vanilla and no chance to compete.

but that also means my alts will have no chance to compete with klan raiders in its bracket. so i can only compete with one alt per week? all my alts should be equal imo

But it’s somewhat comparable now. Could use a few nerfs here and there (maybe making it give 2 scoops and give it a chance of, say, 30%, to give 3 scoops), but it’s only a little shade of what klan raiding was in the past.

TBH in my view, people who are whining saying it gives too much of a disadvantage would also whine if they lost to someone by soloing because the winner had a bigger streak than his.

The problem with making klan raiding more in line with solo raiding is that klan raiding is so long and tedious. My thoughts based on yesterday’s raid are to leave it at 3 per hit, but make it 24 forums instead of 12, and a max of nine people per raid. The theoretical max is 255 scoops, but would probably be a good deal less in practice. There would be less wait for forums to fall with 24 held, and more skill in keeping 24 with nine people than 12 forums with 13 people.

Whoa Good Omens is pwning all available forums right now…

I couldn’t believe it can be done..

I think solo raiding is better… U can get 8 on 4 visits and 8 more on each successive visit… The only way raiding seems useful is if ur in the raid but not actually using the visits u have.

Depends how selfish you are. It’s a tradeoff – you provide your visits for the good of all, everyone else does too. If you leech, you don’t get invited back, or the raid is just smaller and everyone else loses out by that many scoops. And you can solo within the klan raid to get 5 scoops per visit (3 + 2)

So after this nice theme can we expect some changes for klan raiding coming soon? I would raid even if the scoop reward is just 2 instead of 3.
