Agree. When it was just greydwarves it was still annoying. "Here, you like being interrupted by mobs that can barely inflict 2HP damage and will actually just mean wasting time, right?"

No, nope.

Go with me on a mind-adventure: I don't want to have to mod/cheat or world scum to fix a thing about the game that I think sucks. I'm simply sharing that I think their current implementation sucks. Some folks seem to agree.

There is plenty of "survival" in the game without having to stop what you're doing and waste a bunch of time, mats, etc. fighting off things that aren't actually a challenge to defeat. Again: they're just time and material wasters. That's not fun, it does nothing to enhance the "survival" aspect at all, and they should be nixed or fixed.

So again, you are insisting on creative mode build time with no enemies in a survival game. See above. You've been offered solutions, and you refuse to take any. Not anything else to say on that topic.

I'm suggesting that the raids, as they stand, aren't challenging, aren't fun, and serve no useful game purpose in their current form.

You disagree. That's cool. But gtfo of here with your patronizing nonsense.

Most of us disagree, it is a survival game, it is a mechanic, and you dislike it. Some of us want it harder. DEAL.

I don't use mods, have over 500 hours... ((just to clarify))

The base attack mechanic is annoying to begin with (yeah yeah, build defenses; what if I don't *want* our village to look like a fortified castle keep?), but for it to bring a health drain and last a year at a time is a bit much.

Shorten it, yeah? Shorten all of them. They're a time-sink annoyance at "best."

I don't understand people calling a game with no survival mechanics a survival game, but hey we all have our quirks XD

the mobs are the survival mechanic, you are here to vanquish them and the boss mobs

Would be nice If valheim were customizable like many games. Raids would be the first thing I would disable and ore teleport on.

Mods are nice, but especially in an EA title they can break so much ...

So you went through the entire game without dying to any mob? While in rags a Greydwarf is a hazard. In padded, not so much. At over 600 hours in, I died yesterday to a pack of Deathsquitos.... so there is still a threat.

So you're saying upgrading armor to defeat mobs = survival game? Well...World Of Warcraft is a survival game now XD And Monster Hunter...and like 95% of every RPG ever. And if you died to deathsquitos with over 600 hours in you're doing something REALLY wrong...

I disagree, 150 seconds is not that long of a fight. They should not be shortened at all, I think they should be increased, in fact I think they all should be!

7 game days for me. Got killed, spawned naked in a nearby base and the drakes stayed 7 days around, and were like following me. My other teleport bases are on another islands. I made some gears and a raft, went to to closest teleport across the sea and teleport into the attacked base. As soon i was inside the event ended. 7 days waiting and the solution was only to get inside the base to make it end...

Event timers only progress if you stay inside the raid area. This is to prevent players from just cheesing and running away from raids until they expire, as then raids would be zero threat as if a player isn't around areas unload and no damage can be done.
If you stay in the raid area they last less than 2 minutes.
