CC not full, cloak lowered, city never targeted....

[madman666]

Hi..I used to be able to run 3 lvl 70 raids on one ICE, each raid would chew through 33% of an ICE... this was before the patch yesterday..

Now with a 1/3 full CC, and dropped cloak, I waited for 20 minutes and the city never was targeted.. What Gives?

Does the CC now need to be at least half full or totally full in order for a raid to happen?

Maybe mine was just a one-off incident and needs to be looked into, like a bug. Would be interested to know if others experience the same thing.

Needs 50% for aliens to pop.

[cybertron]

Think it was >50% ie. 51%+ in order to start a raid. I remember using two ql25s from the cru lady and it wouldn't trigger a raid

[CivilGuardian]

I was under the impression that it was always 51%+ charge to be targeted by aliens. Unless the cloak was left down and you lucked out on a random attack (if they haven't been removed from the game now)

Afaik the CC needs to be +50% for a General to spawn. That's always what i've had in mind at least...

[DrUrban-II]

CC needs to be +10% for aliens to spawn, gen included.

[fakiiri]

Allways tought it has to be 50% for raid to start and cant go down to 0% before gen.

[Pennypacker]

Has to have been a bugged city.. Always had to have 50%+ to get it going.

[Rurounin]

Always needed 50%+ here as well.

[Flyingengi]

It's 50% for raid to start. 10% left after 8th wave for General to spawn at the end. Always has been even before instanced cities appeared.

Once you you lower the cloak before putting the cru in you never forget *sob*

Yeah 50%+

[adeptall]

All i can say for certain is its somewhere between 51 and 55% (likely 51).

Recently dropped in a 50 when CC was completely drained and got no raid. Tried once with 5% left and it started (55% after i put in cru).

Really wish theyd changed it (Hear me fc! :P) to 50% seeing as cru are now only in multiples of 50.

I was always under the impression that only 100% full CC gaurantees raid, and any other percentage from 99% down had a chance of NOT generating a raid.

I've found the the QL of the team raiding depends on the amount chewed up each time... lower ql raids chew up less ICE/CRU (70 in this case about 30-50%)... whereas a 220 solo/team raid will chew up 70% or so

ive definitely had raids off of less than 50% cc before that completed, nothing lower than 25%, seemed like 33% worked still.

I would just like FC to chime in and let us know what the guide is here.

Has nothing to do with level. Has to do with how long the Hacker and General are alive. They remove the CRU while they are in the city. It just so happens that higher level hackers and generals take longer to kill.

AI raids are not a 100% guarantee in any city even if you have 100% CRU in the CC. It was designed this way and Ive been told by GMs and Devs alike that while the majority of the time you will get a raid, there is always a chance you won't.

The CC must be at least 50% to initiate a raid, or no Aliens will bother coming. Random raids are a bit different however and not really what the topic is, so I won't get into that ^^

You're thinking of during a raid. If the Aliens take your CC's CRU level down to 10% they basically "win the fight", and have no further interest in your city. Think of it as a "cutting their losses" tactic. If your CC hit 10% the general will not send more waves, nor will he grace you with his presence.

I've never had a no show on 51%+
