Raids
De DragonMineZ Wiki
Raids are wave-based battles against an invading army. You trigger one by killing a marked scout at a raid site; after a short omen the army arrives in waves at your position, ending with its bosses. Survive every wave and everyone still fighting is rewarded; fall (or leave) and the raid is lost.
Saiyan soldiers and elites from a crashed pod, ending with Oozarus.
Frieza's army on Namek, led by Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon and the Ginyu Force.
Gomah's soldiers in the Demon Realm, with Glorio, Majin Kuu and Majin Duu.
The raids
| Raid | World | Raid site | Scout (health / melee / ki) | Rewards | Defeat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saiyan Assault | Earth | Saiyan Crater | 500 / 12 / 10 | 10,000 TP, Hero of the Village and Hero of the World (10 min), 8 Golden Carrots, 2 Senzu Beans, 1 Green Scouter | −10 alignment |
| Frieza's Invasion | Namek | Namekian Ruins | 400 / 18 / 12 | 30,000 TP, Hero of the Village and Hero of the World II (10 min), 16 Golden Carrots, 3 Senzu Beans, 1 Blaster Cannon | −20 alignment |
| Gomah's Army | Demon Realm | Gomah Camp | 10,000 / 900 / 800 | 350,000 TP, Hero of the Village and Hero of the World III (10 min), 16 Golden Carrots, 4 Medi-Bugs (Ant) | −30 alignment |
All three raids have 5 waves. Hero of the World is a DMZ effect that boosts the TP you earn (see Effects).
How a raid plays out
- Find a raid site. Saiyan Craters, Namekian Ruins and Gomah Camps generate as structures (see Structures). When you come within 80 blocks of one, you get a chat warning, for example "Your scouter picks up a Saiyan pod that just crashed nearby...". Each site has one scout, shown with a supervillain aura; a site is spent once its scout dies or disappears.
- Kill the scout. The player who kills it (or the nearest player, if nobody gets the credit) receives the Emperor's Wrath omen effect and the preparation music starts. The omen lasts the raid's preparation time (60 seconds by default). If the effect is removed early, for example by drinking milk, the raid is called off.
- The raid starts where you stand when the omen runs out. The participants are you plus every member of your party (see Commands). Only one raid can run in the same area at a time.
- Waves. Enemies drop in around the raid centre, 6–16 blocks out. A boss bar shows "Raid — Wave X/Y — N left"; it turns purple on boss waves. Raid mobs glow so they're easy to find: minions in purple, bosses in red. In waves with bosses, the bosses stay dormant until their escort is dead, but attacking one wakes it up early. There's a short pause between waves (5 seconds by default).
- Victory. When the last wave is cleared, every participant still fighting gets the rewards, the victory music, fireworks and the Hero of the World effect.
- Defeat. A participant who dies, logs out, changes dimension or switches to spectator is out. Walking farther than 80 blocks (by default) from the raid centre gives you a 15-second countdown to come back. When no participant is left, the raid is lost: the remaining mobs vanish and every participant sees YOU LOST! and loses alignment (see the table above and Alignment).
Difficulty
Raid mobs' health and damage are multiplied by the story difficulty of the player who started the raid, using the Easy and Hard health and damage multipliers of the server (see Sagas for the difficulties).
Configured in: General Server Config
gameplayCommands
All /dmzraid subcommands require operator permission level 2.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/dmzraid start [type] |
Starts a raid of that type at your position (default: saiyan_assault). Fails if a raid is already running nearby.
|
/dmzraid stop |
Cancels the nearest raid within 128 blocks (no defeat penalty). |
/dmzraid info |
Shows the nearest raid's id, status, wave, participant count and centre. |
Configuration
Raids are defined in JSON files under config/dragonminez/raids/, so server owners can tune the shipped raids or add their own. Each raid is one file named after its id: saiyan_assault.json, frieza_invasion.json and gomah_assault.json are generated with their defaults and version-updated like the other config files. Any other .json file in the folder is loaded as an extra raid with the file name as its id; files whose name starts with old_ are ignored. Reload with /dmzreload config.
