try having a few of the raiders/defenders record their povs so you can cut to what they see every now and then. also, i think it would be cool if you had like an MVP for each team based on kills/rockets fired and shout them out at the end of the video

Those are some neat ideas

[@blueghost1343]

I feel like max isnt doing any skill based challenges anymore, he puts so many disadvantages on the defenders that dont make any sense. And in this video he was give the defenders advice on what to do. Its very one sided

[@MaxsRust]

Yeah TBH the reason I helped them is because people started leaving and the people I selected for the leadership just didn't do a good job, I do wish I didn't help them though cus the defenders would've won probably

[@blueghost1343]

@MaxsRust that makes sense, the only reason I say what I said is because I feel like it needs to be more natural, because a group like that would have had way more than 20 m2s and probably a box of real rocks not to mention an absurd amount of hv rockets on stand by. And even then it would still be a hard battle for them to win.

[@jeffkarr461]

Exactly, they wouldnt of won if it wasnt for thr hacker, MAX, on their tean guiding them, and not letting the defenders hide the egg after he literally lead them straight to them?

[@obsidiack1489]

@@drpepper5854 Its definitely really hard to balance though. The only real thing he knows is the skill of the defenders, but the skill of the attackers could vary a lot and they obviously aren't organised at all. He wants the video to be close, and if the defenders where given that many kits and not restricted in certain ways, they would just win easily. Tough one to manage, I always don't really like on the fly balancing such as saying that the TC is destroyed, deploying MLRS when the attackers are losing etc, but it makes the video more entertaining

[@UndergroundHound]

@@obsidiack1489 Bruh it's literally 200 vs 20 people, the attackers always get an advantage over the base builders.

[@obsidiack1489]

@@UndergroundHound I don't think so, if you played 200 people who were new to the game vs 20 who have 10k hours each the 10k hours will win. So its really a game of balancing, and I agree that the balancing could of been a bit more fair but let's say they gave them 25 defenders here, I think the defenders would of won, so not really that much difference would be required to switch the match up

[@dinky1291]

dont forget the 1600 sentries they got (Before they refreshed the kits) assuming everyone gets a sentry kit, also the 3200 mp5s they got.

[@imrocco]

@@dinky1291yeah idk what this guy is thinking everytime he does vids like this

[@thomasohanlon1060]

Great video, Sir I have one or two issues. When there is one force that has a 10 to 1 advantage it should not also receive added intel on the defenders how far into the base or if they are mad, nor given advice on tactics to implement. If you are going to give aid to one the same must be given to the other. This of corse is just my opinion. To both teams great jobs. Again great video.

[@Flavionnn]

yeah idk why his videos are almost always in favour of attackers in terms of logistics

[@Tookie400]

Yeah, also the point of max taking away rockets and sealing recourses is stupid, not to mention that apparently the kit reseted for attackers so they pretty much had infinite booms, makes no sense as a base that big would definitely have tons of sealing resources and booms.@@Flavionnn

[@cyeu2936]

I agree as they would 100% not have found the eggs if it wasn’t cuz he suggested that they destroyed tc and the egg was there most of his videos yes they do favor the raiders a ton but sometimes not always he does the same with the attackers and tho I agree with you I mean his server his rules his things and the people who participate know that therefore it’s kinda an agreement of which they made

[@k7gixxer1000]

Totally disagree, There are no admins feeding info during a raid defense in normal Rust and there shouldn't be here either.

[@QQ-lw9uh]

​​@@cyeu2936yeah that completely ruined the ending for me tbh and the fact he took boxes of rockets and resealing materials is completely bs. 10k was way to many rockets for the raiders was no strategy at all just rocketing everything. Usually like his videos but this one ain't it. And the fact he got so butthurt over that dude joking about being banned accusing him of being a cheater then just kicks him before he can say anything don't blame that dude for telling him to shut up tbh and still doesnt let him back in after explaining it was a joke.

[@darksaint0124]

You have to stop giving the raiders instructions. They already outnumber the defenders and have endless amounts of boom, and yet every once in a while you come along to rally them and give them marching orders about working together and pushing. What exactly is the point of watching these if you're clearly helping one side? And continuing to watch until the end you also straight up tell the raiders that they forgot their objective. What even is this?

[@dinky1291]

not only that he told them they completed it too

[@iplaygames9303]

It’s a game and this is cool to watch y u mad

[@Nezris]

I agree except about telling the raiders they forgot the eggs. The raiders need to know how to actually win otherwise the event isn't organized well enough. But he should have made it clear to every participant of the raid what the rules are and how to win. If he did make it clear to everyone then he didn't need to tell them again and it was their fault for not taking them

[@CJ-ec7qo]

I was thinking this exact same thing. Don’t give them info your giving them god view info

[@sniprrr7683]

[@jokedyy764]

I kinda understand the balancing u did, but this was so hardly raider sided, pretty much unlimited boom and still telling the defending party you cant have this or that.

[@IamWed.]

personally not sure i agree that they couldnt move the eggs was as fair, its not like if your getting raided your gonna just let them get to your best stuff you would move it out

[@k7gixxer1000]

[@TheMilker21]

I like most of these videos but the defenders have no chance if you’re constantly helping the raiders, maybe if you were mlrsing the raid base instead of the china wall after the raiders are already deep into the base it would be better content. Rather than loading 200 raiders onto the 20 defenders then semi informing them on where they should be attacking from and doubling initial rockets then also air striking the defending base you just spectate the whole thing and get reactions from discord neutrally with occasional air strikes on both sides to add interest it would be more enjoyable for the viewer.

You should do one where the raiders and defenders have unlimited kits meds and amo and the raiders get 2 hours to raid we like 300 rockets just so that it’s either their base is gone or they defend and sealed. Like the objective would be to foundy wipe

[@DCMAKER133]

You should be using your own custom server. A) For server CPU: 1) If the server client is single thread limited and cache latency/bandwidth sensitive you should be using either a binned 7800X3D or a binned 7950X3D with only the X3D CCD enabled. 2) If the server client is multithread limited than the biggest/fastest CPU is best. 3) If the server client is single thread limited and not cache sensitive than you should be using a binned 14900KS with only P cores enabled (e cores disabled) If the server client is heavily cache limited you could see possibly 80% faster performance with an X3D CPU over none X3D. If it isn't cache dependent the Intel CPU would be drastically faster than AMDs especially if zero or sub zero cooled. B) The server should be single or double phase cooled and overclocked as high as possible. This will allow you about 200-400 MHz higher overclock frequency. C) For server RAM 1) If the server client is bandwidth sensitive you will want as many channels and as high as bandwidth as possible. BUT it is more likely latency dependent so, 2) If the server client is memory latency dependent you will want the lowest RAM latency possible in this case if the CPU can use DDR4 that would be preferred since DDR5 latency is still really bad. If you ran the phase cooled server in a chilled box you would be able to get really clever and aggressive with RAM overclocking and tuning. D) You would want to use an Optane drive as OS/program drive to ensure lowest latency and best QoS assuming you don't run the server client completely in RAM. This is exactly what I would do if I got around to making my private high pop ark server and it would work just as good for a Rust server. I also guarantee you this server would easily be 2 times or probably even 3 or more times faster than whatever dodgy game server provider you are using. Most of those places run really crappy speced servers and highly overloaded. This would make an unbelievable difference in quality of play!

22:55 LITHUANIA MENTIONED RAAAHHHHGG🔥🔥🔥

[@DCMAKER133]

I haven't finished it yet and just watching the build phase and I 100% think the defenders will win because the amount of stuff they have built....I don't see any way the attackers will have enough boom to break through. If the raiders could farm resources I could see them possibly winning. If on their island they could dedicate like 50 players to farming and crafting boom. I could see a chance of them winning but short of that....they have no chance. This defense building is way too dense and well done IMHO, plus you got to count turrets EDIT: Okay so the attackers do not technically have a hard cap on how many rockets they get like it said in the beginning. The OP actually gave them more. That makes a huge difference and gave them a huge chance of winning like I said above. It also looked like they had resources that could be used to make more explosives and stuff. So they didn't actually have any real deficit in boom boom things. Also those bases melted a lot easier than I was expecting. I thought those walls took way more rocket shocks than it did. Quit interesting watching how that battle took place. I also actually think that base honey come was actually more damaging than good because they defenders actually couldn't see and shoot the enemy. I think that honey comb made it much harder to defend and easier for the raiders to tunnel and sneak pass the defenders. I wonder if they did no honeycomb and left it open it would have been easier to see and kill the enemy and more successfully defend? The honey combing would absolutely been a good strategy if the raiders didn't have enough boom to tunnel but they clearly did. I also didn't think about them getting access to the enemy caches of weapons as well.

[@TheIntroGeezer]

Think would be dope to somehow make this into a tournament, defenders are the competitors points for things like time taken for raid, kills, longest survival time for a defender, fob's destroyed and lives used, each clan/team gets 2 attempts at it best scoring session is what counts for you, can do group stages of 4s, top 2 from each progress, then top of group 1 vs second group 2 etc

Max you forgot the most important 5-10 ppl to invite to make an absolutly top notch video... video is great still.. but a suggestion for next video.. invite 5-10 others that are not meant to compete, but just there to provide more pov's.. like adding more camera men to a movie set.. then get them to send you the footage then collected.. good ratio is 1 pov filmer for every 20 players
