Guitar Mentioned On Rustafied....Please Tell Me They Are Trolling - Rust

And I quote... "Acoustic Guitar The Acoustic Guitar is officially the first musical instrument to grace Rust with its presence. To play, use your primary and secondary fire then look up and down to change the pitch. No details yet on what this will take to craft, it can currently only be spawned or found."

I'm okay at this point with them adding different stuff like this. Sure everyone wants more guns, clothing, enemies, and other stuff, but the game is pretty much where Legacy was (or even past) in terms of playability. Now if they had added this 6 months ago I'd be pissed. But at this point let the designers have fun adding different things. I'll be entertaining/trolling players with serenades outside their bases with this.

I'm a guitar player myself, of both electric and acoustic(and bass) and to be perfectly honestly, this feels really out of place. Building a guitar takes a shit ton of work and calculations, and finding one in the wild would result in Rusty(:rock:), unusable strings, warped and rotted wood body, warped/bent neck(which would mean you can't tune it), and possibly even certain diseases if you were to get punctured by cheese cutters(REALLY rusted strings) such as lockjaw or any type of poisoning. This is something the community could have made when the game is actually more finished, but adding it now seems kind of...well, wrong. The only benefit I see to this is more entertaining YouTube Rust videos.

[QUOTE=frank_walls;47471095]Perhaps this was added for all the people that complain about having nothing to do when it's dark outside?[/QUOTE] I could see it as a cool thing, specifically like when it's dark out. By the time I get a nice house built (I usually set up lookout spot higher up/on the roof) I have nothing to do at night, it'd be cool to sit my player outside and goof off with it. Maybe with some teammates, play songs together, or just fuck around with it :P

They are not trolling. A complete waste of space, and useful for nothing other than a passing novelty. It is playable. Here you go, another reason to [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1451206"]why you should get on the dev servers[/URL].

I don't see how it's a bad thing. Rust is much more than just killing and raiding, and having little flavor items like this can help people to realize that. Besides that, it's not like them making this detracts from the game itself. Let the devs make what they want to make. Personally, I love the idea of going around with a guitar at night and serenading people as they are huddled in their dwellings just to mess with them. Or hell, perhaps use it as a distraction tactic for an ambush. Get a guitar player to act as bait to lure players, and ambush them when they get close. And hell, since we have ponchos now, all we need are sombreros and moustaches for facial hair, and we can have traveling mariachi bands.:v:

this is already one of the few games ppl spend well over 1000 hours playing and this will encourage more diveresty in player interaction and add to the the immersion of the world giving you insentive to stay even longer(next to the lore this was probably my favorite thing about lotro) definitely step in the right direction imo

This is pretty unique. I like it. More of this.

Not going to sound super polished but it got the job done for singing and dancing. Dont remember the name of the instrument off hand.. Drums out of animal hide? I think yes! Rattlers out of human skulls? Yes plz. Didgeridoo out of bear femurs? Yes plz. I want a marching band. EDIT decided to look it up. [url]http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catgut[/url] when i broke an E string i just took my dog out back and shot him.

I think its good that they throw in these items from time to time. Its a good reminder that this game isn't only about killing each other.

remember that car in legacy? not everything they put in makes it into the main game.

I for one welcome it.Depending on the range of the music,you could draw people to a trap house. I'm looking more forward to the camera though,hopefully we can save pictures on paper and then leave it in the inventory of people you raided with a buddy in a teabag position.

It can bring a fun element to the game, even in gun battles one might come there and just play a song suitable for it :D it's good to have some random stuff added as well, same content for so many hours is getting boring.

i foresee my team going into battle while me, the Bard, am singing out loud the song of our people: BLEM BLAM BLEM "thou shall die!"

[QUOTE=Karma.;47473048]remember that car in legacy? not everything they put in makes it into the main game.[/QUOTE] the car was a default unity model they enabled to screw around with. this is something they hand crafted. still a huge waste of time when theres so many other problems.

I question the gameplay value added by the guitar and camera. But I'll reserve judgement for when I actually get to see / use them in game and see what their intended purpose is. For the time being, I see them as being as useful as bone fragments, blood and batteries.

[QUOTE=Mezamorphis;47474768]sadly the guitar doesn't sound that good to produce the same sounds as the one in the vid :D[/QUOTE] Hopefully they improve it to at least get some basic songs. I have no idea how they'd do it though.

I for one welcome this, if only because it means noobs will be strumming their guitars at nighttime and then immediately flooding the forums with posts like "IT WAS PITCH BLACK AND HE STILL FOUND ME OBVIOUSLY HE'S A HACKER". Perhaps some enterprising individuals will use it to set up traps. Hmmm.

Would be awesome to have different instruments at some point in the future. It reminds me of LOTR online, where you could own and play instruments even not being a "bard". If you had midi files of some songs somewhere in your LOTR installation folder, you could command your character to "play" the notes in the midi file using the instrument in question. It was really cool! Some bands formed and itinerant musicians helped create an unique atmosphere around the cities. :rolleyes: I don't think this should be priority, but it is definitely something I will apreciate a lot in the future, especially in PvE servers (currently Rust lacks player-player interactions that aren't cursing through the mic, raiding and murdering).

I think the only people that would dislike this would be those that run out the door yelling, "Kill, kill, kill!" But then maybe I'm just generalizing.

Nah, I don't run out the door yelling 'kill kill kill' but this just seems really out of place. Probably because I cannot fathom the 'why?' of it. Probably test items for something they are working on, or, going on precedent, just put them in there to piss off all those concerned about raiding or whining about bugs.

This is why guitars are cool, [IMG]http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5420d068e4b09194f76b2af6/t/552479d7e4b041060222522b/1428453889165/?format=1500w[/IMG] Image is from [URL="http://www.rustafied.com/"]Rustafied[/URL].

Once they fix some of the bugginess with the guitars, I can see stuff like this being pillars and staples of a community. I mean, just imagine. You start out essentially as a homeless man, get the materials to make your very own guitar from the land, find a decent town, and try playing in the streets for resources to keep your life afloat. Maybe, if you're lucky, you can land a gig at the pub in that town, and some big wig will notice your talent and give you a life you could have never dreamed of. I'd seriously love for a way for someone to progress in Rust without having to constantly kill and raid. And yes, I know how blasphemous that sounds.
