Thanks for nothing with this raid. I'm a lvl 70 - but haven't played for a while, most of the lvl came from the days when the DN-X and MC-X were still good hulls. Now with a MASSIVE points penalty for being a higher level, the raid's not worth playing at all. I know I'm not the only one in the same situation as players come back to the game after taking a break.
Was hoping to grind it out for something reasonable, but I'll take the weekend off - thanks again for nothing. If you're going to limit the points so drastically, at least lower our levels based on the hulls we actually have......................may as well start again the way the game is now.
Heck, I'm a level 78 and I have 3 fleets to be repaired for a total of 11 hours and all I have is 152K..... I also would have liked to see last raids configuration used. But Kixeye knows best. I won't coin so I guess I will go to the sidelines for the weekend..... IMO Kixeye is overestimating the players ability to spend money coining..... I'm betting my sector won't hit the sector bonus for the whole raid. Off to play Clash of Kings for the weekend..... stay safe everyone and good luck !
Just remember..... you can either help Uncle Jack off the horse.... or Help Uncle jack off the horse...... your choice !
I don't get the releasing ships mechanic at all. Someone please help me understand this.
If you look at the screen capture from the briefing, it seems fairly obvious what building you have to destroy to release the ships is the one with the large exclamation mark. In fact, the briefing says this very thing.
But, I've done Siege 2 and Siege 3 and both are the same. The pic below is from Siege 3. Notice how the building to release the ships is *itself* enshrouded? I've sailed a fleet right next to those buildings and no buildings are damaged and no ships are released.
Yeah, im borderline quiting this game after seeing this raid. Strikes are now countering those that did siege before, and recon counters those that did strikes. And all of them open to us at severe SEVERE points reductions, so that we cannot even spend time to counter for your new "fixes". Ppl learned to use instant ships to counter bad repair times, and now you add in anti instant ship towers in everything.. starting from freaking recon mission javelins... wtf. They shouldnt even be in strikes.
you have to hit the main outpost looking building first

John 3:5
Jesus answered , Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Clear a path for the forsaken fleet. Wait 3 1/2 minutes while it takes it's sweet **** time getting out of the battle, you know 3 1/2 minutes per map that you should be spending hitting other maps. Finnish the map and notice that you took double damage from last Raid but to compensate, only a quarter of the points. Yipee! Way to go KE. I'm done. The rescue is just a BS way to get you to WASTE time. 'Cuz you know. This is supposed to be a game about time management.
Well I will give them until tomorrow to change things more for the players benefit as in the layout or difficulty because most of this raid is utter nonsense...if no changes are made then my wallet and I are bidding a fond farewell and walking out the door...this is not a rant it's just a simple fact that most players feel but never say when kixeye decides to screw something up. P.S ....I really wish they would consider us more instead of the stockholders!!!
Im going to make this short and sour. lol Worst raid for me ever,Im done for this raid hope kix wakes up when they see they didn't gain nothing from this raid. I hate it, Low point's for damage taken.And why make it where we can hit strike, and get less point's if your over lvl 59, 700 k is all ready a big loss from 2 mill why lower it to 280 k if your lvl is over 59 ?
Doing Siege campaign atm. In my opinion Doom, the fast mover reavers and their 3 minion GB's do way too much damage. In the history of Reaver raids, Never have they outputted so much firepower. Siege is doable with tactics, byt those reaver fast movers are an insult.
biggest complaint i have is the reaver javelins in the strike and recon campaigns. if they weren't there i would have a chance in this raid.
Us non-coiners should stick to the PVE part of the game because the only people who play PVP are the coiners. Which makes It look like you brought a squirt gun to a nuke fight.
the new targets are a joke and there is no strategy to them, you cant prep with subs, and the whole time you are being bombarded by 4 of the super meteor turrets. The old campaigns were way better than this crap
hmm, strike pays out 36% of it's original payout for those level 60 and above. And is considerably harder since now there are long range reaver javs in them.
Kinda curious as to why the tower outside my base says strike is worth 700K yet im 3 targets in and at 90K. I guess the last two are gonna be worth a lot....smh
700K is the bonus you get when completed, then you get some as you do the targets. Right now, you are at 790K when completed, not counting the last two, might get 900K for each completion. Meaning you need 6 of them to get the weapon pretty much.
VERY ANGRY ABOUT THE STRIKE CAMPAIGN it is supposed to give 500k damage points and 700k completion bonus WHY DO YOU NERF THE POINTS FROM EVERY SINGLE PREVIOUS STRIKE CAMPAIGN !?!?!?! IT EVEN SAYS 700K IN THE RELAY TOWER, BUT ONLY GIVES WHAT THE CAMPAIGN LIST STATES = 280K... DID I MENTION I'M ANGRY ABOUT THIS!?!?!?
I am still to figure Kix math raid half repair times but my mercs are killed and any other time it is 3.8 hours to repair but destroyed during raid and it is 3 hours to repair they have no armor and nothing equipped that adds armor strange math you use MY SCX fleet total destroy out side raid 6h 15 m to repair during raid not even at 50% damage are at 2h 20 m repair nice math
look i just did the strike and it cost me 2 fleets this game is not any fun any more i am going to play WORLD OF WAR SHIPS it is at least fun I quit battle pirates
Ok I like to know who or if at all you guys tested out the so called Recommended Darktide Recon on a fresh new to the game account. Cause I for one even with another new player step into it and was sunk so fast game was still moving forward as we sank to the bottom of the sea
I think it is very telling of where this game and the audience is that despite the fact that a game changing weapon and ship are available at reasonable prices, people are still quitting left and right.

You're level 63. The briefing clearly says there is a point reduction for doing campaigns lower level than you. Strike is the <60 campaign.
I'm starting to understand Magic Bunny's perspective...

It is because you are over the level of the Strike You are not going to get the max points because of that. You are looking at about 440K I think others have said. You could help a lower level with theirs and see if you get 500K for the fleets that way.
Did you really think you should get 1.2 million points for instant repair?
Kixeye hasn’t done as much to annoy its users as other game companies have. It doesn’t sell decorations for games and try to milk gamers for all they’re worth, and it doesn’t sell advanced weaponry that will allow rich gamers to wipe out poor gamers. But it does allow users to accelerate time in the game. Rather than wait for something to be developed, a user can pay to accelerate the build time for units.

Instant repair what game are you freaking playing. 12 hrs of repairs for 5 targets for that bullcrap 440k points because I don't have hundreds of dollars to piss away buying my fleets / refits / repairs every month .

Yes, but you graduated to level 61 since the last one
So, you are in the same boat we are. 440K (roughly) for a strike now.

Yep, what sucks is that strike is no longer instant repair either (each section leaves me with 2-3 extra minutes). I can do siege for 14 coins with grease monkeys, or elite with 15, pretty expensive. If I wanted to do a selfish raid, it is doable, but my goal this time around was to help others get the new stuff .
