Ranch attack timer

[lament shuttle]

What kind of glitch?

I had triggered bandits overnight, they headed to my ranch, I headed to the ranch… now the timer is stopped at 1:59

Nothing unusual

It may not be the explanation for what you experienced, but be aware that you have to arrive at your ranch before the bandits arrive there

The problem may be that you arrived at the ranch after the bandit attack landed, in which case they attack without you there. They only wait for you to log in if you get there before they do.

Devs already thought about that lol

The longest trips take less then 2h

And the raid never starts unless you enter the ranch

@sweet glen

It not glitched that how raids work
If u r on the ranch the timer stays at 1;59

If ur character is walking home and you got an incoming raid you won't be raided when you go off

[golden aurora]

No, it's arrival time. Not whether you are traveling when you log off. Try it out.

Wdym ?

1:59 its how much you got when they arrive it's not that travel timer

[lament shuttle]

Wdym?

That when bandits reach your ranch, you still have time to get home, before the timer runs out, no matter where on the map you are?

When this timer end
You got 2h after it as long as you r at ranch it won't move

I’ll add my explanation for future generations

Whenever you trigger bandit raid, the bandits need somewhere from 6h 1’ to 7h 2’ (from what I have observed) to reach your ranch. We can call this BTT or bandits traveling time.

After they reach your ranch, they take time to destroy your ranch. This we may call TT or trashing time.

If you reach your home before BBT, the timer will still run until they reach the ranch, but the TT timer wont start, it will remain 1h 59’. If you choose not to enter and go to a nearby location, the TT timer will start. When you return the TT will stop. And so on as it expires.

If you are not at home when bandits reach your ranch (=BBT expires) the TT timer will start. But when you do come home, within the TT frame, the timer will stop for what remains on it.

Indeed, as I explained above.

But what did you mean by ‘the longest trip take less than two hours’?

If you’re at DD or denali it takes you to reach ranch 2h 57’.

[oblique wharf]

Interesting i thought the longest trip was less then 2h

Thanks for the info

But ye as you explained it that how it works

[lament shuttle]

The longest walking distance is actually 5h 6’. From DD to Salt mine, 1’ less to Bayou.

[oblique wharf]

Yeah but what about from dd to home

[lament shuttle]

3h 19’

Note that without alliance’s railway station, this is prolonged by a bit.
