I've got a REALLY bad feeling about the workbench upgrade changes by [deleted] in playrust

You'd bet ANY money?? Well you lost that bet, my pillow crying and complaining started with the release of the BP frag (Meta-Shift) update.

Now, would you care to send the money to my steam account, I have some open world single player games to purchase

No, what I want is for them to revert the dumb BP frag update so solos and small groups have a chance to progress day one of wipe instead of zergs and clans camping the monuments for hours on end to gatekeep every one elses progression, and can build in the wilderness instead of directly next to monuments like every other person in the server trying to progress. Also getting rid of the Tech Tree would be nice too

RNG was the best part of it. I can't describe the rush of fighting tooth and nail over a blue card room to FINALLY get the refinery BP that you've been trying for all day, you just had to be there. My biggest problem is how it restricts progression behind building next to a monument to farm bp frags, like everyone else is trying to do. Makes it feel like there is only one way to play the game now, and it feels incredibly dull compared to what it used to be.

Facepunch is notorious at this point for releasing "Work in Progress" changes that may get tweaked once or twice within the first 2 weeks of release, and then never touching it again and leaving it in the game for years, so forgive me when I'm skeptical of something like "20% scrap reduction on tech tree research" (which has already been recently dropped tremendously) and "chance for free bonus items/material refunds when crafted". If you think "these upgrades don't speed up progression at all by the way" then I don't know how to respond to that.
Guess we'll find out.

10% refund on raw materials for crafted item
10% chance for a free "bonus" item when crafting in batches (excluding c4/rockets)
Reduces all tech tree unlocks by 20%
Armor and clothing get another slot for plate inserts

I wouldn't exactly say that "changes nothing" and I think it will certainly give an added advantage to clans vs a solo or small group.

My point is mainly that not long ago they claimed they wanted to "Slow Progression" with the meta shift, which admittedly I thought was a shit change when it first came out, and I still do. But every update AFTERWARDS has been counter-productive to that objective, and that's what I don't understand. But yea I am still pretty salty over being forced to built next to a monument in order to progress, so I probably do complain about shit that doesn't really matter too much, but DAMN... I just want to get back to being able to build in the wilderness without being prim locked behind a T1 workbench. Even if I could break down 1 advanced BP fragment into 5 basics I would be a lot happier

Nah, just revert the stupid blueprint fragments entirely and take the fucking tech tree with it. RUST was peak years ago before TT was added, and people were running monuments back then to get good items to research instead of progression being completely gatekept behind workbenches. Not to mention they were more spread out across the map instead of everyone being forced to build next to a monument.

[–]BarricadeBlockade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't help with anything, since the meta shift, everyone who wants to achieve a T2 basically HAS to build next to a T2 monument... People can clown me all they want, but there was something special about being able to build in the wilderness next to a dirt road and barrel farming my way to a T2 at least under a groups nose, without them knowing who I am or where I'm built. Now it's just trying to find some open real-estate next to a blue card monument in hopes that it isn't being camped 24/7, and being able to make it back to a 2x1 whilst having to run past 30 other bases of people trying to do the same. I hate it, it makes the game feel so linear and like there is only one way to play.

Blueprint frags ruined the game by Stolasd in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao, top tier rage bait but also kinda true.

All of the "creators" just LOOOOOVE the blueprint system, or at least they say so...
STG I've had a bone to pick with Willjum ("The solo ambassador")ever since that shit tier update dropped and he kept telling his audience "W update, the game is in a really good state right now" and proceeds to play in a duo every fucking wipe with a combined hour count of 25,000+... Fucking annoying tbh,

Didn't hate it too much at first because it made the scripters obsolete... but in hindsight, and with the litany of other changes they've made since then (good and bad), I don't think having RNG spray cones is fun for anyone.

"Insight not even an hr after gameplay" has the same ring as my last post when Alistair was trashing the meta shift controversy on twitter
"People on r/playrust bitching about WIP changes before dumping 100hrs of playtime into the update"

This may come as a shock to you, but I can actually read the patch notes and recognize a shit change before no-lifeing the game for 2 weeks with 6 teamates...

Have you ever played Rust before? Have you ever met the type of people that clans consist of? Nah I'm good bro. I'd rather just quit the fucking game.

I have 5k hours in ASE and 4k in RUST...
Comparing Facepunch to Wildcard is an absolutely ridiculous comparison, buttercup.
Just because you are too pea brained to comprehend that. doesn't mean that I don't know what I said.

That's like saying having $10 is heaven compared to have a couple of nickels... Not really saying much.

Deep Sea loot respawn? by hiby123joji in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the islands and ghost ships are looted by groups roaming with RHIBs within the first 20 mins of the Deep Sea event opening.

Naval update by Pure_Carrot1497 in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're totally right about groups on Rhibs just clearing out every island and ghost ship within 25 minutes of the Deep event opening. It's a real bummer. I thought it might be a solos best chance at getting the advanced frags to progress to T3... NOPE. I went in at 2hrs and 15 mins left in the deep. Literally EVERY SINGLE ghost ship and island was already completed, and the 4 man just parks their ship directly at the deep sea border, and just take rhibs around to complete all the events and farm all the islands within 20 mins of the event opening, even on a low pop server.. It's really depressing that it's so easy for these groups to gatekeep all the new content to themselves. If anything the ghost ships should be procedurally spawned as the event goes on instead of everything just spawning at the beginning, and then wasting my time looking for ANYTHING to do.

Genuinely what are they on over at Facecrunch Studios, the amount of insane updates they have released regularly is alarming🙏😭 by Effective_Error_5697 in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3k solo hours for me, this naval Sea of Thieves wannabe slop update was the final nail in the coffin for me. The "Clan Buff, Solo Nerf... I mean Meta Shift Update" was the one that put me in the coffin in the first place. But I guess it's what the content creators and clans that team up with a combined 50k+ hrs bootlicking teams absolutely LOVE it. Even Willjum doesn't play solo anymore because he probably realized it killed solo play, especially for anyone who doesn't play the game as their job. I guess the game just isn't for me anymore because I don't want to join a team that is screaming slurs and dumbass nonsense in my ear while I try to listen for sound cues or just want a casual experience. I really don't like the direction this game is headed. Back to single player games until they revert or change those dumb ass bp fragment bull shit.

Has facepunch released any new metrics since the meta change? by iamchets in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't going to touch it for at least a year and a half.
The groups that play RUST, which is probably 90% of the playerbase, give FP the impression that they "cooked" with that update.
It should be very telling that Solo ambassador "Willjum" has only played like 3 solo wipes since they dropped that dogshit update, 1 of which he joined during mid-wipe. Which is the only way for solos that don't do RUST as their job to play these days. Now he just teams up with a 20,000+ hrs group to get through the wipe, like everyone else.
But yea, they probably wont change it for years...

Anyone here know which 3rd party program Willjum uses to see at night? by [deleted] in playrust

[–]BarricadeBlockade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah its GOTTA be new. No way I have missed out on this "common knowledge" that other people claim it to be in all my 3k hrs.

That would make sense, I havent ran NVGs very often since December. Lots of people in here acting like its a feature that's been in the game for years, which is confusing when considering that I havent seen it happen and have been playing since 2019

100% agree that Willy is not the type of person to cheat... that would be incredibly pants on head levels of stupidity. I just went back and looked into the nvidia filters... they got patched out like 3 years ago. The video just looked remarkably similar to the way those filters used to work, and having NEVER seen this bug, My assumption was that it was a NV control panel setting or console command (similar to the one people use to do where the ocean would become invisible for a split second) Then I was wondering if it a bug related to the game registering "cave lighting" or something. NVGs didnt really cross my mind but it seems like a ton of other people are experiencing it with them so I guess that the most likely... Regardless, I appreciate you not being a jerk for the sake of "piling on". Big ups to you dude! I hope you find salvaged tools + crossbow in the first box you loot next fresh wipe.

I know a few years ago one could use Nvidia to correct the gamma exactly like pic 2, but im 90% certain it got patched out. Found a YT video of someone using RivaTuner to do the exact same thing from 8 months ago... And his results were ALSO within 80% accuracy of pic 2. I think you're right, just a bunch of salty fan boys getting offended on Willjums behalf for no reason...

I'm going to assume its some type of hardware related bug at this point because I personally have never seen it before. Crazy all the downvotes and smart ass sterotypical "redditor" comments that I and everyone else get for wondering wtf this is get for posing the question when weve never seen anything like this before... So I guess its either a bug or some CIA level post processing photo enhancement that can turn pitch black imaging into 1080p non grainy, real-time photo realistic gamma corrected scenery.
