Rust: Official Thread

I don't think the fact that there are guns is the problem, I just think the game needs to be balanced. At the moment the entire game is skewed in favor of large groups of established players. It's almost impossible for new players to establish themselves because they're just going to keep getting wiped out by established players.

The problem is that every time a new player dies he has to start from scratch, but when an established player dies he can just pop over to his house and get everything he needs again. Group play for new players is difficult in a world where established players just shoot everything that moves, but solo play is basically impossible. I've never even built anything past a wooden shelter simply because I die long before I reach that point.
 
I think everyone that is having issues surviving needs to come to our base, we have about 15-20 people so far with some decent size buildings.

I am Roomys_ZA on the server so just shout in the chat and we can meet up. I am so used to dying now and never ever carry anything on me other than a pistol, hatchet and food so when i die its no biggy. Everything i own is at the main base locked away while the others protect it.

Gathering stuff up again is really easy too. I can make a 9mm and ammo in my sleep now lol.

I am pretty sure though you will always get your bullies though on whichever server your on, you just need decent admin to control it. I don't think you can start stipulating rules on when to raid or not, this game is fashioned to be a human hunting game don't you think?

Sure have guns, but not military grade shotguns and m4's etc. Have crappy homemade weapons from sticks.

THey are doing this I believe. Replacing the weapons with ones better suited.

How awesome would a Catty (sp) and a sling shot be!!!!
 
Yeah, that idea I can definitely get behind. We're already running around like cavemen, so having more traditional weaponry like spears and bows would be pretty awesome. Maybe a few muskets, at most. We've already got games like DayZ with modern weaponry, so a zombie survival game with older weapons would be awesome.

It would certainly eliminate the issue of asshole snipers camping on mountains.
 
So we had about 20 of us last night raid Monsuer it was epic fun.

Woke up this morning and the server was victim of a hacker, woke up with everything gone and in the wilderness.

I hope Mweb make a server soon.
 
So the ZA server has been reset now. I know Monsuer and Nokia where on this morning so i gather they will be loot whoring every poor soul on the server today.

Looking forward to building my new base!

Oh dear...

I wanna know how one chap can get access to the server files for an SA server, but companies like Mweb don't get a response.

2 nights ago about 20 of us raided him and Alpaca, we got into most of his base but everything was just freaking metal we needed so many explosives. Then Nokia arrived and killed everyone with his Aim bot hack.

I'm sure people are/were duping on the server. Either that or they are getting handouts.

Same here, also tried mailing them as i would have loved hosting a server myself, but no feedback yet after 1 week.

I don't think they dupe, but they have set up massive bases right next to loot-nodes. The loot from crates seem to respawn every few minutes and these guys just keep grabbing all the loot while shooting anyone who even dares to come close to the buildings. It creates an ecosystem in which these guys just keep getting more loot and it just gets harder and harder for the new players to get weapons or even survive.

Last night after seeing that bambi town has now supposedly become bandit town, I just decided I'm done with this game. I can't keep playing a game where I make absolutely no progress because I keep getting slaughtered by the players who have a stranglehold on the entire server. It's too easy for the top players to dominate the server and make life difficult for everyone else.

No thanks. I'll check back in a few months to see if the developers have actually done something to give new players a fighting chance.

I did offer on more than 1 occasion for you guys to come join our group?

Also, the server was wiped this morning so everyone is starting afresh when they logon, why don't you come join us?
 
How big is Rust to download from steam?

Also whats the server ip/port for the SA server atm please.
