Guys, come on. Not only does it mean you get caught out freezing if you're not wearing frost resistant armor at your base while you're trying to do base things, but it spawns eleventy bajillion drakes and lasts way to freaking long.

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."

If you don't want to have defenses, use mods to disable raids, use a seperate world for building where you haven't killed any bosses, or wait until they add a creative mode. I don't understand complaining about raids in a survival game.
And again, raids last less than 2 minutes if you stay in the event area and deal with them.

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