Hey everyone, I’m new to the forums and I’d like to start with my thoughts on the game so far.
First off, I’d like to say that this game is a $20 well spent. It’s simply amazing! And it’s only in Alpha! When I first started off in my caveman days, the sun was going down and I didn’t have the slightest clue as to what was going on. After getting use to some of the mechanics, I was able to build a campfire right as the pitch black darkness rolled in. Sitting next to a crackling campfire for the night made my emotions stir. Once the sun came up, I knew shelter was the next task at hand. It’s a simple yet enjoyable list of priorities right from the start.
The in-game community was friendly, believe it or not. I had several instances of running into other players who greeting me and gifted me with several items. I love the noob friendly atmosphere of the game. Later on, however, things played out differently. After building my house and gathering resources, I had several instances where players would raid my house. Fortunately, this isn’t the majority of the players (or at least the servers I was playing in).
Besides the good aspects that surround Rust, I still share some concerns. Mainly, the issue on cheating and players exploiting bugs. And with such a small developing team, I wonder how the developers will balance delivering new content and maintaining the game. I just pray this game does not suffer the same fate as the WarZ.
In short, Rust is on the right road. I will definitely recommend this game to my buddies.
you’re very lucky, being greeted with items and shit… the only thing i always be greeted with are bullets in the skull, nice to see you’re having fun though!
