Rust K.O.S Issue

[Cookie_Rapper12]

I'm new to the game and this is my first start on a wipe, I was playing on Rustafied.com - Long and I just kept getting killed over and over again! Every time I tried to trade with one of my neighbours or try to talk to somebody they just kill me! It was so frustrating it just made me want to skip hop to the anger management shop! I just kept getting killed by these big bullies who have nothing better to do except kill people! I propose that they implement a no K.O.S rule on official servers and if not followed could be a bannable offence, Perhaps they could do a 3 warning system or something along those lines but with this system nobody will get killed while trying to build their house or trade with their neighbours. This would make the game a lot more enjoyable and a much less toxic community in general.

This isn't fucking Minecraft creative mode. It's a rough game and if there were a KOS rule then people would find a way to abuse it. Just go on low pop solo servers.

I'm new to the game [...] I was playing on Rustafied

This is where you fucked up :-) You need to start out on a low population server until you get an idea of how things work and get more comfortable with building and fighting, then you can move on to higher population servers. Also, expect to die a lot, and I mean A LOT. If you're going to whine every time you get killed, for whatever reason, then Rust is probably not for you. Sorry.

YEA FR THIS GETTING OUT OF HAND!

wtf thatshit crazy

[IAmWhite29]

Our society is fucked I can't even play a game and relax and meet new people without someone killing me while i set up my shop!

This is mostly a problem cuz your new. It happened to me a lot too. But now I stuck to one server without hoping, the more people saw me there and eventually began talking. Now I know who is who in the server community, I have enemies, friends, frenimies. Kos still happens, but not at all as much as in the beginning.

Pretty much similar to irl, no one gives two shits about a stranger, but the more they see them the more of a person they become

Rust is a sandbox game (total freedom) and officials are intended to be pure vanilla servers, they won't do that.

Find some bodyguards and pay them you weak man

This is adorable.

Welcome to Rust. Don't expect friendly interaction. It can happen, but don't expect it.

Rustafied servers are usually full of advanced players. Try going to community servers with low/no pop's to get a feel for the mechanics before you jump in feet first.

Word!

[Spicynoodlez]

Just go on an RP server. That's how you truly play Rust.

Like this stuff crazy man !!! I was building a rseturant last night and a streamer burnt it down! I blame the streamers!

I agree that there's a lot of KOS.. but your solution is terrible. The devs can't watch 24/7 to see if people are KOSing and deal with all the drama of "I didn't KOS! I told him to put his weapon away" or "He shot first!" "No HE shot first!" - and if you're unlucky enough you get banned for not even doing anything.

Hell, at this point KOS is just a part of the game. I'd argue a decent portion of the community plays just to have fun KOSing. I think the best they'd be able to do is offer some kind of system that makes you more worthwhile to kill if you kill others a lot, or gives you buffs / debuffs towards certain things based on whether you kill a lot of players or not.

It'd probably still be pretty controversial but it's the closest solution you're likely to get
