Alarm system

[wraithgb 2]

Would it be possible for developers to add a system that notifies (text) players when their bases are been attacked?

I think this in a lofty ask and never something that would be implemented.

This would require servers to keep track of when a breach occurs, and what defines a breach? Someone could destroy a fence, hop over your fence if they can use something to climb over it, guess your combination, etc…

Then developers would have to ask players for personal information to obtain phone numbers, nobody will agree to that type of disclosure.

Somehow, the game would have to be tied to an SMS notification delivery system which would also require players to opt-in for it to work — and this piece alone is probably impossible to execute.

So, this ask in probably the most unrealistic request I’ve ever seen.

 

The best base defense is a base that’s hidden out of site. Once it’s discovered by others… it’s just a matter of when it will be raided, not if.

No, just like your base won't disappear when you log off. You're not supposed to have a permanent stash to fall back on every time you end up on the coast. 

Enjoy your loot while you have it, because in reality you only borrow it from the game and accept when your turn with it is over. And if you really need to have some gear stashed away try hiding couple boxes or barrels where they will be hard to see and use that. It seems to me that people in this game want to be able to build big grandiose base, hoard rare loot as much as possible and have their base secure 24/7. I know the game becomes lacing in survival the second you gather some basic gear but hoarding loot like Smaug hoards gold but this isn't the way to add some sort of end game goal

Many games, Tribal wars for example, have email notifications when attacked it provides an ability to defend your base from people who don't sleep or in different time zones.

They already have your email details, i mis-spoke when i said text sorry.

Steam has your email, not bohemia.

This would require some system of ownership which I seriously doubt will ever get implemented. And what are you going to do when someone from a different time zone raids your base at stupid o'clock? Wake up at 3 am to an email "your base is being besieged" log in and defend you base while having an alarm for work in 4 hours ?

I play on Xbox, I would never see an email alert in-time.

This is a great idea for a PC mod. Which already exists. 
 

sorry console users, you gotta level up if you want real gaming.

This already exists!

When one of your Doors is taking damage, you get a notification in Discord.

Nah mate, I used to PC game, it was a money-pit of upgrading hardware/software every time you turned around, plagued with cheaters using mod-menus and doing things such as flying through the air like Superman in a first-person shooter, and the line between what consoles can graphically achieve vs gaming PCs is blurred more and more as time has past.

I’d rather spend $500 every 3-5yrs on a new generation console than thousands on gaming PCs and hardware upgrades.
