Hmmm I would like to see how this plays out with meta gaming not seen much of it happening
 

  • If you die while raiding a base, you can not return to that base to continue raiding or assist other raiders until 10 minutes have passed
  • If all raiders die, the raid is over and the 10-minute cooldown begins before you can raid that same base again
Why doesn't the same apply for the individual basing, the raider is already at a disadvantage considering how easy it is to fade a window and shoot someone with the one shot sniper.

You have got to be fucking kidding me
Everything listed under meta gaming was already against the rules prior to the release of this update.

There is no NLR on this server. If a defender wants to come back to defend their base during a raid they are free to do so. This was also allowed prior to the release of this update. We simply clarified it.

Adding metagaming will just add a bunch of needless tickets as a lot of shit falls under that rule, i.e. if I was to use something someone said in ooc in game they could make a ticket because it's out of character information.

As for the NLR I find it absurd that the base defender is allowed to return to the site of a raid while the raider may not. The baser has every advantage in the situation as they can simply sit in the base and fade the window for half a second to kill the raiders. Killing a baser through their windows is extremely hard and should be rewarded by not allowing them to come back. If the baser can just keep coming back you have a 0% chance of being able to keypad crack through every fading door without dying. Now that we also must advert raid we can't use the element of surprise anymore to try and catch the baser off guard. In every way these rule changes have made raiding unnecessarily harder.

1) Then don’t use OOC info in-character.
2) You can find it absurd all you want, it’s your opinion. This has been the rule since NLR was removed months ago.

The rule was that both parties could come back during a raid as long as all raiders weren't dead, this at least made it some sort of fair. These new changes discourage raiding.

This was never a rule.
