... raids seeming to work the same as regular attacks. I don't want to wait 1 or 2 days to raid.

That's no good :/

I like the changes. My main issue is with raids seeming to work the same as regular attacks. I don't want to wait 1 or 2 days to raid.

I think there should be at least SOME warning.

How about an hour warning?

How about an hour warning?

Ive forgotten how to play ive forgotten how to ******* play! I hate this! I cant learn how to ******* play they keep changing ****! I cant do this i cant ******* do this i cant!

Provided that raids can only happen during the reinforcement timer, an hour seems fine to me.

That's no good :/

Eh, imagine if you could queue into a raid like a regular match. District holders would be getting raided 24/7. It'd be a nightmare and nobody would ever want to hold a district.

I'm not a huge fan of having to operate under the silly timers, but it beats pretty much anything else.

You're absolutely right, and I never had that in mind. I'm thinking more in terms of a a daily, one-two hour Raid Window for every District, perhaps sync'd to the District's Attack Timer.

If you find yourself with a bunch of corpmates online, round them up into squads, pick an FC, open the starmap and choose from a list of eligible targets.

* Select Raid Target
* Select Raid Size (16v16, 12v12, 8v8) <--- Dials up/down your PC lag tolerance, CP cost, and loot scale
* Execute Raid

On execution, Raider corp fleet is dispatched; ETA 20 minutes. Match can be joined by Raider or Defenders via Corp Contracts. Defenders receive an immediate muster mail (Raiders Inbound! Oddeluf IV - District V. ETA 20 minutes.) and a second muster mail 5 minutes prior to raid (Raid Imminent! Oddeluf IV - District V. ETA 5 minutes.).

Hey guys, internet been down for about 9 days, whats new in New Eden?

CP costs will prevent that.

I'm not talking about raids from just one corp, I'm talking about raids from every corp in the game that doesn't own a district. Pretty much all of them are going to be raiding since raiding is "free", and if they could just raid at will then owning a district would be hell. If you decide not to show or not to use your A-team to defend against a single raid, you lose your district.

Come to think of it, if you can capture a district through raiding then what the hell is the point of attacking through traditional means? Or does "raiding" just refer to regular PC attacking without the intent of actually winning?

CCP Rattati wanted raiding to be profitable as well for smaller corps that aren't interested in owning a district. He said we could take the district via raiding, then ransom it back for DK or ISK.
He also implemented a new payout system; winner gets whatever the losing team AND winning team used. Loser gets 20% of it or something

edit: He also wants districts to be profitable, ISK wise. No passive rewards though..

Corp that doesn't want a district. Gets one it raided.
Ransom it back. You just took it from.

Hey corp we just took this district from. Want it back?
Gimme isk or dk.

Hi corp that just stole our district.
Nope

Buttttttttt come onnnnn.
Now we has a district we don't want. X(


So can we.
1 sell it to another corp?
2 get stuck with it
3 it just stays there till we let another corp scope it up

Raiding
This also introduces a way for Corporations that donGÇÖt want to own Districts, to make money by using their earned Command Points to attack their enemies, or easy targets by any definition, to see if they canGÇÖt make money using the recently introduced Keep what you Kill reward method. If a corporation ends up winning a District, and doesnGÇÖt want it, they can always ransom it back as well. We hope to expand on the Raiding concept further down the line, by actually stealing resources from the District owner, possibly by GÇ£instant-sellingGÇ¥ clones for ISK and DK>

1) Districts will generate Clones exactly as before
a) Those clones can be manually sold at an ISK price per clone for Command Points, generating ISK (A) manually (B), or used as before to occupy or attack Districts.
b) Clones will not be automatically sold as before, when generation hits the Maximum Clone Capacity of a District (B).

Desirable Rewards from Districts
2) When Clones are sold, a secondary currency is generated, District Kredits (DK/DeekayGÇÖs), and automatically distributed in direct proportion to each corporation members 7 day Command Point contribution of the total CP generated, into the wallet of all applicable corporation members, at a certain price per Clone
a) This currency will allow unique purchases from a new category in the Marketplace (B)

Claiming the first District
The previous method of breaking into Molden Heath for the first time, is to use a Clone Pack. They have been very expensive and quite demoralizing to lose on your first failed attempt. ThatGÇÖs why Clone Packs cost will be reduced severely, even down to a nominal fee or zero, but given a high Command Point cost. That will make it less useful for District owners as using Clones to attack from Districts will have a much lower opportunity cost, and the Command Points used for better things, such as selling Clones for ISK and DK.

if you actually read what he had to say instead of looking for a TL;DR you wouldn't have to ask

Friendly Advice:
There's a good chance that Pseudo's thought process is different from yours; I'd keep that in mind when speculating as to what he is or is not looking for or what he has or has not read.
