Escaping camp attacks

With only a day warning it's not hard to only have an hour to prepare. Yes I totally missed the notice due to a 3 day weekend family vacation. I also have on occasion, (i think twice) had only a small window to play out a defense due to notification being late at night GMT-5 and work schedule. I was adding to chorus of "wanting" a longer forewarning. Would scaling back camp hours affect the notification process? ......................... vet wv0,3,0 Posted Jan 15, 2011, 3:21 pm

Event S366971 Agincourt camp attacked. 1 NPC turned around immediately and ran away at the same time as I turned the opposite direction to find better ground to fight on. I didnt even notice this single car had gone, all the others followed me. Only noticed when I saw that my camp coudnt hold as much bulk and figured out it was because an NPC got through the camp attack, damaged the building(s) and stole a car! Its a fair cop I suppose, need to pay more attention to ALL NPC cars. ......................... vet wv circuit2 circuit1 pvp5 pvp4 Posted Jun 28, 2011, 12:52 pm

Did you drag the car off the map?  Because if it just ran off and then damaged your camp, that is cheesy and should not be allowed.  I know some of the logic on camp attacks was changed to not allow people to just run away, so not sure what the fix might be. ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp3 pvp4 Posted Jun 28, 2011, 1:33 pm

He said he were "Tactically retreating" right, then he did probably drag the car of the map, now the car in question might have been stuck or something, but that's still dragging' off. ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Jun 28, 2011, 1:35 pm

GrowlingBadger Meles Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 722 Joined: Jul 29, 2010 I guess you could say that tactically the main force followed my cars and engaged them where I set up and the other single car found an alternative route to my camp by disengaging, tactically with drawing and going a different route. If I had spotted it early enough I guess I could have slowed down my retreat to the place I chose to engage them, keeping the stray car below 500m.

GB That's a different story then the AI just turning a car around right off the bat and running off and then hitting your camp.  I had the same thing happen to me that you sescribe, and it was my fault for not noticing that I was going to drag one off. ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp3 pvp4 Posted Jun 28, 2011, 2:57 pm

I think a big key of the whole camp concept here is that you need more than just one person at camp who's watching for camp attacks and prepared and able to defend. They are intended to be a collaborative effort. ......................... vet wv combat1 combatL1 paintladder pvp5 sssc deathrceL1 pvp4 zom race1 semiprocombat deathrce1 raceL1 pvp3 pvp2 ww pvp1 paintball santa2 gwped4,16,10 Posted Jun 28, 2011, 4:01 pm

I guess I totally miss the game concept for a NPC gang to launch an attack within a 24 hour timeframe and not allow a player a greater time warning. Secondly, I would support a building upgrade along these lines which either allow greater time warning and/or adjust a camps defensive bonus at the cost of taking up space at the camp. ......................... vet wv Posted Jul 5, 2011, 8:04 am
