I have got a question, is facepunch ever going to improve the game so we don't have to wipe?? Cause building a huge town then losing it kind of defeats the purpose of the game.
Yes, there will be a point rust will wipe less often.
Can we avoid wipes at all? and if we can what are the ramifications?
Do not expect rust to have completely no-wipes in the next year.
There are ways to prevent your server from wiping:
You need to set a certain wipedate as last, and stop updates server side. Then you need to adjust your rust client to be able to join "outdated rust servers" (if this is still possible)
Note:
much players will not be able to join your server in the first way.
Your server will not get any updates that rust provides, so no new content.
Should be more like minecraft in that way lol, no wipes ever.
nope. With no wipes they can not add new content.
Did not wanted to say lol, but if you don't like it, go play minecraft ( joke, don't mean it ;)
As a builder and server owner with 4000 hours in rust I also did not like the wipes, but I like the updates and the new changes they made ;)
In the end, I would like the idea of wiping once in 3 months (4 times a year), but they need to polish the game first, and with that, to add some things, they need to reset te wipe to prevent bad things from happening on the server. Just get used to it, don't you ever compare it again with minecraft, and you hopefully will understand what I'm saying :p
Wipes are needed my friend why would you not like that?
Aside from the technical limitation of running a server without updates, wouldn't foregoing wipes make for some unbalanced game play? I guess it would just be one more factor in choosing a server, but it seems like no-wipe servers would have a harder time getting new players over time.
Players used to think that joining servers half-way wipe is unfair to them, but it just depends how you used to run your server. For example: limit the groupsize to 3, and you will make a big change to how a server runs, how they build, and how fast people are gathering things.
If I want to switch a server halfway the cycle, I'm not caring about if they just wiped or not. With the blueprints you have to gather 2 weeks to get everything again, so the first 2 weeks on a server I won't complain about getting raided, because I know that after that short time and new wipe, I will have a good start on that server
Most people are thinking of what would happen on full official servers, and I agree, no-wipes on official without limiting groupsize will end up as a disaster. By limiting the groupsize you give them more equal chance , and the new decay system already cleans up the server. It then only depends on the BP-wipes.
But let's not go to far ahead, we still have to take monthly wipes, and we still have to learn about the new system and almost learn how to play the game again (this is how it feels for me after 4k hours)
Lets first adjust to the new decay system, and lets see what it has to give us, and just see what the next update will be like :p Everything we used to know of rust can be changed next week.
It is like a new game since the last wipe — so much to learn. I'm diverging from my original point here, but even without the constant changes — and with group limits — I think I would still like regular wipes. I like knowing that my bases aren't going to be around forever. Wipes always inspire me to try new things and be more creative on my next build. It's also a good reminder that nothing is permanent, in or out of Rust.
Maybe my concern is less about it being unbalanced and more about it being uninteresting.... or something.
I don't have any wipes on my server unless FacePunch has it in there update check it out
The Crazy Place
Most people here have their own server, but thnx, I will come with my group tomorrow to raid everyone there.
ps: you're advertising in the wrong section ;)
Anyone know a solution to disconnection and timed out on a server? i can't seem to log on my server
the Upkeep system is a step in that direction, the BP system is meant to provide players a reason to come back to a specific server. the Component system prevents a unlimited supply of some items. I'm pretty sure the game is at a state where servers won't need to wipe every month. once they get the things they need to complete on the roadmap done. they'll probably move into beta. and make the forced wipe's bi-weekly. or perhaps have separate branches so servers don't have to wipe.
