Hey Guys

 

I'm thinking we should start an edugeek clan for Rust, I'm loving the game so far met some really nice people already. 4 Hours straight I played it last night haha, this is not normal for me! :)

So anyone want to join in tonight to build a kick-ass house and kill some noobs? :)

The game billed as a zombie survival game... that has removed the zombies?

 

Rust «

 

Not a fan of the genre myself, but it doesn't seem like a promising start?

 

Hard to follow DayZ though isn't it?

They have completely changed it, really good now, people can no longer cheat or hack it otherwise the servers detect it and ban them permanently. I heard it was no longer a zombie surviving game but a game where you now need to survive day to day life.

Its still in beta mode so they do change stuff give it another go you won't be sorry :)

16 hours played so far for me, between my group, probably somewhere close to 100 hours.

 

We like it, never really played it as a Zombie Survival Game, just a "build a house, now build another, now wall off.. cool we has compound... kill all the things time."

 

There's something satisfying about having a group of 4 people trying to break into your little base for nearly 3 hours and failing every single time. Knowing that as soon as you log out the place is vulnerable is something I haven't seen too much in other games.

 

Also, with regard to the whole Zombie removal thing, they addressed that in a Status Update a while back:

 

Removing Zombies

Helk was meant to remove Zombies before we released on Steam. That never happened. The sooner we remove them the less people will miss them.

 

We don’t know whether we’re actually going to have to replace them further down the line. It’s not something we want to rush into. Reskinning them so they’re ‘mutants’ instead of ‘zombies’ goes against the whole point of removing them in the first place (which is: we’re not a dayz clone anymore).

 

Looks like they've been wanting to branch out from the Zombie Survival genre for a while, but just didn't know how to.

I've seen videos of Rust but only started playing it last week. I'm totally hooked, me and a few mates just building an enormous fort, I never knew it would be so much fun. I'm glad they removed the Zombie element so people can stop comparing it to Dayz, it's a completely different type of game. The game reminds me of a combination of runescape/minecraft with some survival elements thrown into the mix.

I have this game and I am completely addicted to it! Me and a few friends have even started running a server, details as follows:

 

Address: 5.9.113.103:28015

Server name: Pantsless Mining Inc[uK][PvP/Friendly][Oxide][No Lag][Air drops][sleepers]

 

I am aware that it is a pretty bold statement to have "No lag" in the server title, but we have taken steps to ensure that it is running on as stable a platform as possible to minimize any server side lag players might experience. It's a pretty quiet server at the moment with only 5-10 active players, but we're looking to grow the community and get more regular players on. The server is only 50 slots at the moment, but we'll probably look to expand it when the developers release a larger map.

 

Our server settings are all default except that we have disabled the crafting of C4 for the time being to prevent established players from getting too much of a lead on new guys. You can still find C4 in crates, though, so you aren't completely safe from raids. We've also added a removal tool so that if you mess up the placement of something, you can type /remove in the chat and then bash it with a pick/hatchet/rock to remove it (and have the item appear back in your inventory). This only works for items you've placed, so it can't be abused to break into peoples bases.

 

If you are looking for a new server, please consider joining us!

Thanks, I may give your server a try! That removal tool sounds good too, when I started playing I built a foundation and 4 walls, trapping myself in a prison cabin lol.

Sounds awesome will probably log on tonight and have a go on your server! Me and my brother normally play it together so there will be two of us joining you :D! A few questions though, how frequent are the airdrops? You talk about stopping crafting of C4 but I'm guessing you still allow crafting of grenades? If you look about it takes 11 Grenades to destroy a metal door and the amount of recourses you need for that is exactly the same as 2 x C4 so everyone will just make Grenades surely?

 

I've never bothered with C4 just grenades everywhere :D!!!

I did this too, but the other way around. Built a foundation and put all my stuff down on it, then built walls and a ceiling all around the stuff. It wasn't until later that I realised I had no way to actually get into that room anymore!

 

I'm pretty excited to see where this game goes. It's still definitely an alpha, but it feels like they got the core principles of the game down so what's missing is largely polishing type stuff. If they keep adding new stuff to the game, I can see myself playing it for a long time.

Yeah you can still craft grenades. I have to confess, I thought it was 15 grenades to break through a metal door so it worked out more expensive resource-wise.

 

The air drops are currently set to occur hourly if there are more than two people on the server. I think they're bugged at the moment so they don't happen automatically, though, so I've just been periodically triggering them manually via the rcon commands when there are more than two people on the server. We'll definitely listen to player feedback though so if you think hourly is too frequent we can look at increasing the delay between drops.

Meh. Hourly seems fine just make sure they drop everytime above my head ;)!! I think if you're a member of EduGeek you should be given a free starter pack like 12 C4's, 1 M4 and a Bolt Action Rifle... just a suggestion ;)!

 

RE Grenades, it depends how good of a shot you are with them the closer the impact to the door the more damage I've never had to use more than 11 at one point I only needed 7 was so proud of myself! Are you planning on wiping the server often, as I think it's always better to be on a non-wipe server! I'll defo check it out tonight though!

We wiped it on Monday to clear all the stuff we created testing plugins etc, but we have no plans to wipe the server after now unless we absolutely have to. Even then, we'd be more likely to restore back to a previous backup than make everyone start from scratch.
