... i hope facepunch and any one watching this game has learned a valuable lesson, don't put your alpha on steam.
its great to get your name out there and people playing it but i think you guys jumped the gun, not in terms of the game being stable but by putting it on steam just due to the sheer amount of stupid whining you will now have to endure all the way until beta, i feel bad for you guys in that regard.
anyway awesome game! so far reminds me a lot of darkfall and shadowbane (two of the best pvp games to date imho) and the future looks super bright.
take the hackers and whiners in stride you guys have a hell of a game in the works
The idea I think was to get a bigger player base and more excitement about the game, since most people outside of FP had not even heard of rust back when it was in a webplayer. However, I suppose your concerns are legitimate, but it is too late now, it won't be the end for the game, garry has dedication.
they needed more people to find bugs for them. and the game is easy to hack right now because they haven't started working on the hack protections they are still working on the bugs and people bitching about stuff.

yeah its more of a "what have we learned" sort of post, i understand why i just don't think they foresaw the tidal wave of stupid it would bring
the game is looking amazing im just concerned the recent wave will water things down to be more focused on look at my pretty tower, than pvp and survival
I disagree, the game may be a "mess" to some, and buggy and lots of hackers. But its better to have that all sorted out NOW vs a year later when the game is in beta/release

um the game is easy to hack because zero effort was put in to preventing it, its an alpha ffs, core game systems are still missing, during alpha all these people expecting fucking anti-cheat systems are retarded, those generally dont even come in to play until late beta.
why? because there is no reason to cheat in an alpha, nor is it really harmful, there is no point in wasting effort to preventing it yet, nothing is permanent and there is no high score etc. the only down side to it right now is the griefing that goes with it, which again is pointless.

No, I am sure that they knew because it has been like that even when the game was in webplayer, I just think they really underestimated the tidal wave of stupid. Personally I think they should REALLY turn to the community to help develop; set up a dropbox, have people plop their shit there, have a voting system, and things that get a really high amount of votes get plopped in. The community gets what it wants, the game gets better, and devs can push the game further along in the development cycle.

in theory sounds great, but having worked on a project like this as a modeler, it's hard enough to keep an internal team on the same page (in terms of poly count, art style etc.) trying to do the same with an open drop box would be like trying to herd cats in zero G
