Raid Tracker


I've received some good feedback from players on Raid Tracker and I appreciate it. The intent of RT is to give players a heads up that they're being raided so they have a chance to get online and defend, as well as some stats on the raid after the fact. Like how much boom was used, how long it took to raid, and who the raiders were.
These are the complaints I've heard about raid tracker.
A) It allows people to find out who owns a base too easily, then that information stays available for everyone to see in the RT channel on Discord. This is a valid concern and an unintended consequence of RT that I can fix by removing the player attacked identity.
B) It makes it too easy for players to counter a raid because it announces raids in real time. Or it outs a player as a raider, possibly a shady offliner.
I'm not sure this is actually a bad thing for the community. Although I don't see many players using it for that purpose. Hundreds of players join a server each wipe, most get offlined after only a few hours on the server and never come back. Server population would probably grow better if more players were countering offline raids. Discouraging raiding is an intended effect of RT.
As always, I value your feedback. Each server develops at it's own speed, don't hesitate to start a discussion about your server. If you have any other issues with Raid Tracker please let me know.
