The only way this is a good idea is if entering kingdom always constitutes raiding, we discussed this in the staff meeting. This is a better idea than disallowing mayor tps, as mayor had actual counterplay and king doesn't. I do not think changing it for mayor was a good change, but I can support this. The idea discussed in the community meeting would be an adequate solution. You need to build better bases, or base with better players. This is not how any raid with even one competent defender should play out. If this is the level your argument is at, you should seriously get involved in more raids before giving a response. 5 c4 is a ~325k investment, if people are using 5 c4 for ents worth less than 325k, they are losing money, and will go broke eventually. I believe c4 is hard enough to obtain, and has enough counterplay to justify its raiding value. Again, if you think raids are raider sided, you are severely underexperienced in raids on this server. This is simply wrong. The richest players of the server have made their money primarily by solobasing, and we have all successfully defended solo against giant raid groups in the past. If you build a good enough base, you should be able to shoot away any c4 that is planted on it. Not sure why many people still use outdated dupes that allow guaranteed c4 placements. But this is an issue that I would place on incompetence of builders, rather than imbalance of raiding tools. Again, advantage is always on the side of defenders, basing in kingdom just makes that advantage much more heavy, and arguably unfairly heavy. I've almost never based with more than 2 friends, and it has been months since I have lost a raid defense. I am not saying it is impossible, but if you believe raids are not defender sided in the current meta, you are delusional. Just wanted to respond to dispel some mistruths given by some people in this thread. I feel as if many of the people commenting are doing so without all of the necessary information to back up their opinion.

However Defending base raids SOLO is almost impossible with said methods and almost requires the raider to make a mistake in their attack by standing in a spot to be shot, or have something happen to them that causes the raid to be stopped If you want to base alone you either need to have supreme aim, Luck that the raider doesn't know you see them before you kill them or annoy the raiders enough by shooting their C4 away after they had already blown 4 layers of your defenses away. Hense why people want to base in kingdom, It flips the advantage on people in the favor of the defenders, You have multiple people surrounding a single point and the raiders are left vulnerable without a way to defend themselves. If the base was in somewhere, say Industrial, Raiders have essentially the walls and building around the base to protect them and all they need to do is play it slow as they chuck c4 in until an opening is created. Eat a few speed foods and damage resist and run in with their epic gun and delete the 1 or 2 people defending because if there are more then 2 people defending its highly unlikely that they would've reached inside without something costly. I agree kingdom has become popular for how easy it is to defend, But in the flip side Its almost impossible to defend a base without overwhelming numbers on the defending side due to how many advantages and items raiders get to raid with.

I was able to reproduce the issue but it appears this was intentional for some reason. I've fixed the issue but before I push anything to the server I will need to check with Sugar on why he decided to block CC sweps from kidnap box. Anyways, thanks for the report!

Like, The only thing that could be done to fix this is to either remove the water or remove the map. v3 here we come haha!
