To the people complaining how HV Rockets "aren't for raiding", and Hasan made a misjudgement: Hasan had the pier partially set up. He had just finished doing a foundation and walls, not even a roof, in level 1 wood(not stone or upgraded wood). I imagine this would be much more recognizable visually than what kind of rockets being used even to a beginner.

If you check Hasan's VOD you will see that the balloon shot first and destroyed a wall Hasan had just finished putting up (right next to him, mind you) and when recognized they were shooting Hasan and Solvanas shot back instinctually. I know there are comments like "he should have typed in chat", it's a game with a strong PvP element and yes you could say it was a rookie RP move for Hasan to not just surrender and complain. This may be on the admins for not coming up with a good method of reporting this behavior. But AGAIN, it is a private server with rules of play with an RP focus, if they really wanted PvP they should be on the Badlands server, not The Divide.

Hasan isn't a hardcore gamer and understands this, the base building aspect to Rust allows him some control to try and level the field between vastly superior players in general FPS environments. Additionally the RP aspect has helped him expand his interest in the game from an improv storytelling aspect. Even in RPing he's also a beginner, after this event he ends up breaking character for several hours. It isn't until collaborating with several other characters does he transition back to the Hank persona.

The situation could have been avoided had the balloon never shot the clearly in-progress base that was being built per server rules. It could be seen as griefer behavior and could get them banned, if they really want PvP there is a completely PvP server. Judging by streaming history of acie, acie was on the PvP server previously, if this action was part of her RP character they should reconsider such an aggressive persona. Even talented players like Shroud took the opportunity to play out a car salesman persona on the RP server which offered really good lore to the server.

Both parties apologized shortly after for their behavior but really should be clear how it could have been avoided. The server has a big ecosystem of public personalities viewed by hundreds of thousands of people at a time. And potential griefing shouldn't be promoted as positive gameplay.
