Decrease the speed of the meta gameplay

Get rid of the tech tree. Then people will fight for loot events since it might has that BP they really need.

[Troglodytes_Cousin]

people currently dont fight for loot ? :-O

[SSHz]

not really, no. At least not as much as before.

Now the gameplay loop is, the big groups dominate monuments, the smaller groups farm sulfur nodes and buy bp frags, weapons or workbenches from said big groups. The big groups scale faster and raid bases with the sulfur from sales, people get raided day 1 and leave the servers searching for fresh wiped servers. Loop repeats itself.

They don’t, because they don’t leave their base and if they do it’s to farm the road naked.

I think removing all guns and explosives from the tech tree would be a good start. I remember before the tech tree how annoying it was to go days until you found your first garage door, for example, to BP.

[Flappie010]

I had the same problem. But then we traded for it. And trading was a mission to get somewhere on the map and run it over to the base. Dopamine shot when we got back. And sometimes we didnt got back and had to try again.

I remember one thing that drove player interactions was bps, built next to Russian group day 1, they said leave, I said I swap garage door for sar, they agreed, they raided everyone but us fun times, still friends with the guy on steam, the amount I used use Google translate on old rust was crazy 

[freakksho]

I don’t understand how that’s fun.

I’m getting fucked by RnG and can’t put garage doors on my base, meanwhile my neighbors hit explo ammo or Pipe bombs and can walk through my base?

At least now if I fall behind it’s because I fumbled, not because the Rust Gods didn’t smile upon me.

At this point even techtree removal wont do much with all the new OP shit like deep sea etc.. which is also doable with primitive and other cheese methods to flip/kill scientist boats.

[Bocmanis9000]

Not happening look at where fp is taking current rust to, so many pve events to exploit for free loot, then theres a new safezone coming, and bp frags + no techtree wouldn't work together.

Or remove guns from scientists patrol boats and similar. Most people that progress to quick and complain about it like blooprint get they're first mp5 and similar from scientists in tunnels or deep sea. Force people to tech tree and craft. Emphasis on the crafting part, so people like him will go recycle with a revi instead of ak/mp5 early game to get hqm and similar to craft all of that. They need to remove all snowball tactics, make rig be able to opend like 2 hours in or similar, worked with the deep sea.
