SG BASE RAID PROJECT

​

So from my previous voice chat meetings on our Discord, we have discussed the idea of bringing back Base Raiding to its original creation and update it for everyone to enjoy. We can safely say we are about 90% completion on that front. At this time, we have reactivated IoP with all its original properties, all base raiding items needed in your base are now active and working, and the original Questline "Cathedral of Pain" is now properly working and dropping IoPs for your base. Once all IoPs have been disburst, base raiding functionality will commence and SG base Owners will be able to set times and dates for raids to occur. At this time the only function we have left to finish is pointing the base raid teleporter to the proper bases for raiding. Once that is complete, you will be able to raid 100% as intended from start to finish on the Test Server.

KNOWN ISSUES: some villain groups and NPCs (notably low level encounters like hellions) do not have spawns up to level 50, and will only spawn up to their maximum avalible levels. Please report these so we may aggregate affected villain groups to enable spawn all the way up to level 50 for them.

All Task/Strike Forces now only require 3 players minimum to start. No more waiting for full groups. Spawns should match your group size, but your ability to finish TF's with a small group is not guaranteed.
