Why Can I Get a Horde Attack 7 Mins Into Gameplay?

So, one thing that is going to kill my love for this game is the horde attacking my base. What the heck? I killed one fuling to test myself and survived, must be ready for 10 at once and 2 beserkers! What?

I think the devs need to fix this. It's ridiculous how one person can have that many thrown at them.. not to mention only 7 minutes into gameplay. I play on a dedicated server and sometimes I hop on for maybe 20-30 minutes just to gather supplies and have fun before classes. No one else is ever on for the most part when I hop on. We're all in college. They need to change it so that these attacks cannot happen so suddenly and so we actually have a bit more warning--because we all know that fulings before we are fully able are insanely difficult to take on by our lonesome.

I suggest that they change it so that it can only happen to 1 person WHEN they have 1 health mead or bonemass at the ready. I had to log out because my health is low, bonemass isn't ready, and I'm by myself. Survived in the past with a mead and bonemass. No clue how to survive now. So frustrated and it seriously deters me from playing at all.

Yes. If the others have beaten all the bosses (Yagulth in particular I believe) , which it seems they must of, then it effects you too. Especially if you haven't progressed as fast. It's the one thing that stinks about the way the system is set up.

We have not beaten Yagulth. I have killed one fuling myself (before the horde attacked the first time) and they have killed a few. Do you know how I got attacked 7 minutes in when no one else was in the dedicated server for the 7 minutes I was on?

Since its a dedicated server it reads like someone progressed further while you beeing offline.

If they are in the meadows then yeah, someone beat Yag who knows may have been a griefer passing through, you never know on a server.

Once I’m out of class I might, but I’ll die in the process. I logged out in the middle of the attack to save myself. I’m in the meadows near the Black Forest.

I believe killing Yagluth stops the Horde event. Until that happens...

Talk to server admin. You may need to wipe you world and start over.

I mean, after all it could be some weird bug even if this should be almost unlikely.
But if you havent progressed to that point yet there should be no way you get attacked by now. Especialy not in meadows/black forest.

I still assume someone progressed further. May it be by accident (how ever) or on purpose.

Ah good point, I guess they start with beating Moder but you still get goblin raids after beating Yag as well. But I guess they are new night visitors rather than an "event".. not sure what the OP is having.

thats exactly what i guess
when the people have beaten moder - the fuling raids can occour
when the people beaten yaggi - raids will stop but fulings will wander around in nearly all biomes at night

Let me say this : it was “the horde is attacking” event. Not random fulings in the night.

There is no way you can get a fuling attack in the first 7 minutes.

I quite literally did. I’m wondering if it’s because it’s a dedicated server? My class starts at 9:45 so I got on at 9 and the horde started at 9:07.
