Replace zombies with this: - Rust

Saw the topic about big foot and got this idea.. Replace the zombies with Giants!.. replace the RAD towns with Giant encampments.. They could throw rocks at you, or use a "tree trunk" as a large melee weapon. 2-3 bow shots to the head to kill them, 4-6 to the body. Idea for some of their encampments, they could "pen" 14-15 pigs.. so once you kill the giants, quick easy access to food. They could have crates with large amounts of raw materials in them (open a crate with 80 metal ore) And some of those crates would have random rare drops in them. The giants could look like something out of Game of Thrones [IMG]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130402143559/gameofthrones/images/b/bf/Giant_working_S3_Ep1.jpg[/IMG]

I don't see the theme of the game becoming fantasy.

Giants, when they're coded right +1

if i had to place my bets on a species to get added it would have to be mutants or aliens. frankly i don't like the idea of aliens being added.

I loled extra hard at this one.. Garry is the one who brought up the idea of using Giants/mythical creatures.. So its a possibility, and one that I favor over.. dinosaurs..

[QUOTE=drawingblanks;44032103]No, I'm not mad. I was calling you out for your sarcastic tone.[/QUOTE] No sarcastic tone here. I consider Giants less fantasy then Zombies.. At least we have some sort of proof that Giants existed. unlike zombies.

Well, I love GoT, but I prefer the tribals idea.

[QUOTE=Wyvyrias;44033856]Well, I love GoT, but I prefer the tribals idea.[/QUOTE] I definitely like the tribal idea the most, but having some very large boss-type mobs would be really fun and would give raiding groups something to do at "end-game" (presumably)

[QUOTE=Wyvyrias;44033944]Like a big fat bone throwing tribal boss? :v:[/QUOTE] Yea! I definitely understand the appeal of dinosaurs... they're big, strong, scary... everything that Rust is all about... But they just don't feel like they fit. I think I just don't like the term "dinosaur". Maybe lizards got mutated into huge lumbering beasts or something or aliens came and genetically altered animals or something... Seems lazy to just add a t-rex and a stegosaurus bla bla bla... I'd rather the devs have a chance to really get creative and crazy rather than just modeling mobs after dinosaurs. Anything would be better than "oh dinosaurs are just here now"

[QUOTE=Wyvyrias;44034005]Or how about aliens hiding in their mothership which is cloaked as hill? (Crysis)[/QUOTE] Anything but dinos xD

[QUOTE=Wyvyrias;44033856]Well, I love GoT, but I prefer the tribals idea.[/QUOTE] I honestly like the tribal idea as well, but I figured it'd never happen because someone would pull out the racist card. IMO.

[QUOTE=Dewm;44034332]I honestly like the tribal idea as well, but I figured it'd never happen because someone would pull out the racist card.

This is no different.

The last of us can be possible since a cordyceps fungus can infect ants and many diseases are passed by animals so... You shouldn't really say zombies are fantasy or impossible.

You shouldn't really say zombies are fantasy or impossible.[/QUOTE] While I agree to some extent, a fungus infecting an ant and "controlling" (I use that term loosely) its brain is rather different than the same happening to a human brain. As it stands, HUMAN zombies are fantasy.

You shouldn't really say zombies are fantasy or impossible.[/QUOTE] Well if you look at the 2nd part of the definition it says "improbable"...which at least to this point, I think Human zombies are "improbable" And if you wanna go that route, Giants are not fantasy (see the link I posted) And Aliens aren't sci-fi they are reality.. etc etc... The original derailment of this argument was this.. He said there was no chance of fantasy and I said there was.. the rest is moot.

All they need to do is add black people, a common enemy will unite the klans and add more dynamic playstyles and immersion. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Gimmick" - SteveUK))[/highlight]

you all come up with horrible ideas.

I think aliens in the night would be creepy. lol

Why don't we just replace them with something special at all? Just keep it real, my idea is just the random wildlife there is now and add a mountain lion and puma or something make them rare to find and make them drop the rare stuff. Please keep this game realistic and in the present time!
