Does this happen to you folks every day, multiple times a day? Just for perspective purposes.

Yes. Once you engage with the Tokyo Death Metro, all bets are off and you are open to attack. If someone doesn't want to get raided, then they should not engage with TDM.

However, you cannot upgrade your Buffalo Bank, SPLithium banks, freezer slots, and restroom slots to have a higher cap until you interact with TDM, which will make the later game VASTLY more difficult past, say, floor 15-20.

Honestly, I just dump as much of my money and SPLithium as I can before I log off on research and gear, then store all that stuff for later usage. It's what I'm going to spend it all on anyways.

Also, apologies to @demoskinos for taking your guy from the restroom (if it was actually you on the game, my profile is Lansharx6 on there). At the same time, I thought "well, this seems interesting, how often do you randomly find a Giant Bomb member through a random system like this?"

@jakob187: To address your last point, I think it pulls people from your friends list sometimes as haters. So id demoskinos is on your PSN, you might see him more often. I know that I've encounter a wild @zevvion hater in my tower climbing multiple times now.

As far as waiting room being attacked, like said above, it can happen at anytime now that you join the TDM system. They don't really take a huge chunk of your money though, and like already said if you fear losing stuff just dump it all into research/items/mushroom stew before you are done for the day. People often won't bother with you if you are low, I don't bother invading anyone with less then 2k in either KC or SPL in my bracket (I think i'm still in the lowest TDM rank)

@jakob187: Someone else would have done it anyway. I've seen at least 3 or 4 GB people randomly as well.

I've sort of hit a stopping point with the game, but I've put a ton of time into it and where I'm at (grade 3 fighters, past 20th floor) I basically never get raided anymore. I don't really know why because all of my defenders are still low level but I'll echo the few other posts: I always try to spend a bunch of my money before logging off. Splithium is more difficult to spend and I'm kind of just indifferent/resigned to losing some if I get raided.

I usually only get hit about once a day. What team did you pick though? I tend to see a lot of team California people on my list of random people to raid so I wonder if playing on a more popular team makes you more likely to get raided.

I get that its part of the game, I was just curious if people were getting blasted multiple times a day. It is what it is. Also, I'm on team IL...and we suck apparently.

We do, have we ever even had one of those "battle" things Jeff was talking about? Haven't played in like a week.

@oursin_360: I haven't seen one as team Oregon but I've only been playing for about a week. Its very tempting to change to California and see what the battles are like.

It did until I upgrade my shit a ton

I'm on team California and I think the rewards for team "fights" are pretty insane. I think California won one (I participated in a handful of raids in the fight) and I think my reward was like 40k killcoins for California winning

They only give you one option at a time for who to raid though (instead of a long list)

No because I never have more than 10k in my vault. I do my runs, buy what I need to and usually have around 500 or so kill coins at the end of my playthrough. In raids they can only take about 10 percent of what you have so they never attack me for what would amount to 50 kill coins.

@oursin_360: We are at 0/0 win/lose fights... We aren't even cool enough to engage in a fight yet.

Yeah, I see your haters everywhere too. I'm not sure how the game decides but where you died is where your haters can spawn in other people's games, but I think they can spawn even weeks later because I haven't died on floor 3 since day 1, but some of my friends still see my hater there sometimes.

@zevvion: Yeah I haven't figured it out yet. I can see your guy in the 10's if I'm just mastery farming, or in the 21+ area I'm currently progressing through. I have no idea how it pulls, I haven't lost a dude in some time (being superrrrrrrrr careful with lifeshrooms)

Still, neat it randomly pulls from friends list, that's just a neat thing.

@takayamasama: I don't have any GB members on my friend's list. I play at my workplace (LAN center). I don't personally own any game consoles or anything.
