Hourly raids

Hourly raids is a schedule where raiding is only enabled during repeating windows tied to the clock, often once per hour. Outside the window, protections apply as normal. The result is a steady rhythm: build and farm between windows, then push hard when raiding turns on.

It plays like short, high-stakes rounds instead of a drawn-out siege. Raiders stage supplies and routes, then commit fast because the end of the window is a real cutoff. Defenders do the same in reverse: keep patch materials and spare gear ready, rotate players to likely weak points, and aim to survive the window rather than win a war of attrition in one sitting.

Because everyone can predict when raiding is live, the server spikes on the hour. That reduces random off-hour wipes and creates more direct contests, but it rewards organization and scouting. Strong groups chain attempts across multiple windows; smaller teams stay afloat by hardening bases so they cannot be cracked in a single window and by showing up during the busiest hours.

Most servers pair hourly raids with specific definitions of what counts as a raid, like whether explosions affect claims, which blocks can be broken, or whether access to containers changes. Those details vary, but the core stays consistent: frequent, scheduled pressure with clear downtime to rebuild and reset.
