What should replace zombies?

[soulie]

mutant penises

essentially the testicles would be the legs and it would scoot back and forth to walk, the attack animation would be the penis bending and thrusting towards you, striking you (people can pretend in their heads that the penis is penetrating them). It makes sense that naked people would take more damage from the attacks as there's less resistance to entering them. Cloth is meh penetratable, leather would stop a penis (not a mutant one though) and kevlar would be much more difficult for a mutant penis to penetrate.

these enemies could be more appropriately termed "helmet heads"

kind of like a zombie when a person dies from a helmet head they become infected like aids and their penises inflame and enlarge and eventually amputate off as their own being

Just bite the bullet and bring in dinosaurs. Add 2 game play changes, dinosaurs and non dinosaurs then everybody will be happy.

[lapin03]

DInosaurs ... I like the military idea

[PseudoPacifis]

I think really any type of mutants would be fun. Maybe giant radiation spiders that come out at night. Or like something Metro 2033 themed-ish. Mutant animals or humans would be interesting in my opinion.

Also military would be my close second. Problem then would be determining the way they fight. If they all have guns it wouldn't be very moderate play friendly. Hard core players would camp them for guns all day. I think making them melee mutants ala Fallout Ghouls would be ok. But at that point really whats the difference between them and zombies?

[wolfgod360]

I think military is a really good idea.

[Sievers808]

I feel I have to post this again since no one seemed to notice.
Dinosaurs and military are not going to be added. Here is a quote from Garry:

[QUOTE=garry;44101062]Yeah this goes without saying. We're not letting the community dictate what we do. We're feeling them out about stuff. The actual reason for that poll wasn't for them to decide whether military or dinosaurs should get added. It was to feel people out about something else on the list.[/QUOTE]

[9jakub9]

How original would dinosaurs make this game! A totally new challenge that nobody yet experienced in the survival games genre, well maybe some raptors on the hardest difficulty in Stranded 2 but that's old. This would make this game even more interesting than it is now, this game really does look like it is a balance between cavemen with bows, cloth armors etc. that live a peaceful life and the new world guys with bad-ass guns and armors that bring nothing but death.

You have time bro

[xMinato]

Maybe Zombie Military? I would love zombies back, but definitely not dinosaurs, I'd like the game to be a realistic zombie game as possible :D

[Un1ver5al]

[QUOTE=xMinato;44440900]realistic zombie game[/QUOTE]

You know that zombies aren't real don't you? They were created by George A. Romero as a metaphor for the destructive and dehumanising effects of the mass-consumer culture, before becoming part of that same consumer culture as they are today.

How appropriate, that that's how it turned out.

[Un1ver5al]

And also how appropriate, that they have been removed from this game.

Read that book of Max brooks (i think that is the author)

[Un1ver5al]

Wait, are you saying Max Brooks invented zombies? Or that you actually believe that zombies are real?

The word Zombie is a respelling of a Haitian term, [I]zonbi[/I]. This word comes from the Congolese word, [I]nzambi[/I], which basically means "soul". The people brought from the Congo to Haiti to work on plantations as slaves created the word to describe the pitiful state of existence they were forced to endure. So again, relating to the dehumanising effects of global mass consumption, further expanded upon by George A. Romero.

[xreaverx]

I would like to see a shadow creature. Something that roams only at night randomly shows up at any part of the land. So say it shows up at the north section. You may than be safe if your down in the south provided it doesn't make it near you by sunrise. That way their is a terrifying threat that doesn't take away a lot from the current focus of the game.

However, This could fit very well with the military idea if people wanted it to. This thing could be possessing the military on the land mass.

Other than that I like the dinosaur idea, thinking a failed Jurassic park thing, but this seems like a distracting idea.

Something is better than its current state though, having pvp be the only real threat sucks, I wasn't looking for a pvp centered game, part of it sure not its focus though. Even if it means simply having badass animals like crocodiles and such that can fuck you up, Farcry 3 had some pretty ridiculous animal threats.

Edit: The shadow creature could also work well with the tribal thing too.

Edit +: I could get even more crazy. Change the radiation to a Miasma, this way farming could be used to make medicine to resist it. Then the "military/tribal" people or whatever can be altered by this miasma instead of radiation.

[QUOTE=Pax301211;44199591]Why is nobody talking about Giants?? Guys just imagine how fucking awesome it would be to have Giants in groups sitting in their hide-outs in the mountains or whereever you may want them to be and protect their precious loot. See it as a kind of PVE gamestyle with passive giants that will attack you when you defend them. This combined with tribes of savage men with ritual tattoes over their bodies... It would be cool if they would behave more agressive and try to fight on sight to claim your skull.

So here, take some artwork.

I voted for Dinos but damn this would be epic to have giants like this as well :D

[Jongan]

Dinosaurs!!!

Would fit perfectly with the rust theme!
Would also make for a good story base!

Survivor got dropped by people on an inhabitable dinosaur island, could even add quests.

Please dont let this turn into a WarZ things with zombies and military(there are enough of those games out there already)

[noit]

Why not a mix of them? You could have remote areas outside the map have dinosaurs that require 10+ players for killing one.

[.f]

About User choice?

1) Conquest
Some town that can be conquered by users?
Something like radtown that can be occupied by the users nad most time they can maintain the position, better loot can be found into?

2) Kidnapping users possibility

[Daze507]

Cyborgs! Since the replacement of zombies will be implemented, in the best case scenario, around the year 2060, cyborgs would blend perfectly with the era.

I voted for Giants/Mythical Creatures for something like this ^, besides the new upcoming survival game "The Stomping Land" is already developing what most of you people voted for and want...

[QUOTE=Br00dl0rd;44448527]I voted for Dinos but damn this would be epic to have giants like this as well :D[/QUOTE]

It's cool but wouldn't fit in with the games weapons and overall feeling.

[Sievers808]

[QUOTE=Strom16;44451646]It's cool but wouldn't fit in with the games weapons and overall feeling.[/QUOTE]

The game weapons and overall feeling will likely change quite a bit.
From what I've seen, giants and mythical creatures are what they're aiming for... I think.

It's definitely not military or dinosaurs, Garry basically said as much.

Yeah i voted for Dinos but now i think that should be null and void, it would just come off as a copycat or unimaginative. I'm now thinking something like crazy cultist or the tribal people is the best idea.

[chrometitan1]

The AI NEEEDDDSSS to be coded ALOT better, For example in DarkSouls2 the ai are stupid smart.

Maybe in rust have them wonder around in packs to kill people.

And maybe have them attack doors to scare people.

How the fuck do dinosaurs "fit in" with Rust?

[QUOTE=Dahluc;44012165]Who said every apocalypse game had to have zombies? I'm just wondering why not use mutants they'd make more sense in this game or at least sometime of monsters but not dinos[/QUOTE]

Do you know what? The "Zombies" WERE actually mutant humans, people just called them zombies.
