I find the most fun period is the early game, when (almost) everyone has only single-shot weapons, when intense and long battles occur, a la naked or close to it. Low penalty for loosing your gear (it's cheap, everyone has it and it does not grant someone too great of an advantage) so players come back to the fray. Aka good gameplay.
By contrast, when one of the players has automatic weapons, you almost always need one to counter it. Then the fast paced, enjoyable gameplay turns sour to some sort of hide, hide, shoot, hide, especially if you want to join near a wipe. Then everyone has automatics and will wipe you out on the spot.
There is no reason to join the game as solo in the last week before wipe. It's time lost and frustration galore. I'd rather go play something else.
So make an official server, limiting weapons to single shot ones, up to revolver and see what happens
You can keep launchers, C4s, maybe even bolts and those early 5.56 rifles.
Why don't you just start your own server with everything you just mentioned? That is literally the point of custom servers.
Why? Cost, that's why.
So you want other people to spend their money so you can have a server the way you want to? Because that's how it works: shit ain't free, someone is paying for it. Servers don't cost that much to rent, you can get servers for 20 cents a player slot per month or less. If you want a server with your stuff spend your milk money on a server for you and your buddies.
RUST already spends money on many servers to sell their "shit" to players. One more server is no big deal, for them. For me, it is. It is for them to judge if the ideea is to their advantage (you know, cost/benefit ratio).
Also, I do not understand you being so incensed against my ideea. Frankly, you could keep your spicy remarks to yourself.
There are over 4 thousand servers listed on my game servers list, dont know how many others there are that i cant see and all of them except the Official ones are run by players who pay for them, It doesnt cost that much , you would probably spend more on "fast food" a month, They do that to have the game the way they (and their friends) like the game to be. You can eliminate all the weapons and explosives you dont want on the server.
Why should Facepunch make another Official site just to please a few players who cant handle the multitude of better weapons that fire more than one round at a time.
I think he was providing feedback and commenting on the current status of servers. Relax.
I was under the impression that they wiped all the servers , its a bit pointless to make all the non official servers wipe when you dont do your "own" ,
"This is a forum you know - to discuss things like this and see what other players think."
And I do know that this is a forum and was stating what I think !
that was not directed at you - was directed at the MOD
I mean they can't even handle the hackers on the servers they already have, plus there are modded servers for that.
I played on a server that was all medevial style, you were allowed Waterpipe and bows only....
Bases could only be stone, and wooden doors. Its really fun actually
What server? Do you remember?
I believe the server in question is Primitive Rust
Are there any primitive ones like that in Australia? I need something new.
I think the devs are in the process of "Stress testing the current System to see what things need to be changed. I'm probably giving them too much credit but perhaps they wanted to have the BPs not wipe for 3 months so they could see how long it took to reach end game.
It is possible to kill guy on 100hp in hqm set with single waterpipe shot, also multiple revolver headshots from behind even without reloading would work. Crossbow rush works only with cheats or in zerg, just advance to guns asap, they are cheaper than you think.
Just abandon all hopes for endgame playing solo even playing from the start 24/7 - all you can become is loot pinata. That is the current reality of Rust, where maintaining upkeep of ridiculous size bases is possible if enough manpower applied and gun/ammo/explosives availability, scaling up defenses requirements, which scales up manpower requirement and there goes corrupt circle. Zerg solves everything. There are quite easy and reasonable solutions to forcibly scale down zerg efficiency and push pvp a bit more to low-mid tech, to make wipe cycle progress even, but nobody cares.
<offtopic>And why, do I feel, that someone here is way too defensive against constructive criticism or even simple gameplay improvement suggestions....</offtopic>
Devs have been ignoring the PVE since forever ago. They only care about the Youtube PVP/Raid crap, or adding pubic hair.
There is nothing uniting players because they are too prosperous. Interaction is exaggerated, most people, especially clans, KoS.
Well, they added chinook and scientists, which were fun and gave raid feel and added actual risks of farming military tunnels, before FP nerfed them and made them decorative.
Wait, what? How were the military scientists nerfed?
I think he might have been talking about the weeks they were "broken" and would not respond to players in their area, I think that this has been fixed now as the ones i meet are trying to shoot the crap out of me
No, about the very start when they were still only inside military, and there was whole swarm of them, not 2-3 like now. And they had much better aim and they were much more aggressive.
Now military tunnels are almost empty and scientists that are inside barely hit you at all or just stare at you while you keep headshotting them.
AI is still being fixed/tweked. Just look at the commits...
It will be WIP for maybe another couple of months...slowly improving.... the AI and the game and everything changes (improves) dynamically. Its not all static black and white "deploy NPCs and forget". Doesn't work like that.
