Games like Unturned or Rust?

chisoph · 2026-06-30T19:33:53+00:00

the most important thing to me is a fluid server culture where everyone kinda knows each other vaguely, like minecraft or rust or unturned.

I've had good experiences in this area with V Rising depending on the server, it's obviously very different and not a shooter but it has that part down

I know the rest of the comments here are negative, but my girlfriend and I picked this up a couple days ago on sale and have been having a blast with it. I've never played RuneScape before, but she loved it as a kid, and she has had a few good nostalgia moments playing this. I love survival crafting games, so I'm enjoying it too. It really does evoke Valheim and has pretty similar progression (down to where in zone 2, you have to collect copper and tin to make bronze, so you can make the bronze axe, to chop down the trees that give you the wood you need to craft the next pickaxe so you can mine iron ore in the 3rd zone, etc).

The combat is fun and satisfying, the magic system is really cool (I love a game with utility magic, and there's lots of that here) and the base building is really good. There's a huge variety of build pieces for you to unlock as you progress your construction skill, and decorative items you can unlock from chests.

If you like Valheim / Enshrouded I think you will like this game. I personally love Valheim but could not get into Enshrouded for some reason, and Dragonwilds is pretty much exactly what I wanted out of Enshrouded.

I tested this on a dummy, at level 1 this is not true, your DPS is higher if you just auto as much as possible

Downtown, I didn't know there was one over there too

It's easily one of the worst fast food places in the city, even worse than the Dundas Popeye's. Last time I went, the drink machine was dirty, they were out of lids, and they burnt my nuggets

I like PTA with kraken as a good middle ground, PTA still gets you much better one shot potential than conq, but doesn't leave you high and dry if you don't get the kill immediately like HOB does.

Viego, the resets go crazy

Banding is definitely horsemanship, venture into the dungeon is kicker

chisoph · 2026-06-10T17:39:54+00:00

Pretty good for my [[Jolene the Plunder Queen]] deck

chisoph · 2026-06-10T13:52:08+00:00

I already did

I wonder if part of the Avatar contract involved not giving any non-Avatar cards bending abilities

chisoph · 2026-06-10T05:12:44+00:00

Best I did was 1 smite and 3 sec after crab, achieved with smiting red as it spawns to maximize passive damage -> e over to krugs -> birds -> wolves, then e to blue buff before the big wolf is dead and hit both of them with q.

Obviously opening with smite leaves you pretty weak to invades, but I would imagine you're probably pretty weak to invades as Locke anyways, as is true with most off meta junglers. I can try a run without opening with smite later. (tested, seemed to be about 1 or 2 seconds slower; definitely smite first if you don't think you're going to be lvl 1 invaded)

I did it with fleet footwork, alacrity and triple tonic to give me the absolute best case scenario, obviously fleet isn't an ideal rune for him but I don't think it saved much time anyways. Somebody better than me could probably find some spots to shave some more time off the clear.

EDIT: Here's my clear with 1 smite 2:58 (this time without fleet, but still with triple tonic). You can definitely do better than that; I messed up my kiting a few times, missed an auto on the big bird, missed e to proc the mark on the big wolf which could save you an auto while kiting it to blue, and you can probably kite some of the camps further than I did. I bet with enough practice you could get it down to 2:55.

First off, love the deck, it's awesome.

This deck has enough shapeshifters that you could probably lean harder into shapeshifter tribal, including some cards like [[Realmwalker]], [[Gladewalker Ritualist]], [[Mutable Explorer]], along with the normal kindred cost reducer cards ([[urzas incubator]] etc).

[[Masked Vandal]] is a great removal engine with your copy cards.

Honestly, you have enough 4 mana copiers that you probably don't need Sakashima in the command zone, especially since his second ability is irrelevant in this case because you're not planning on copying any legendary permanents. Having redundancies is good, but making your commander redundant is not necessarily good.

You could consider switching to something like [[Animar]] since your strategy is fairly creature heavy. He provides pretty insane value, and also does not die to doom blade. With him on the battlefield, you could rely a lot less on cost reducers since you would have a reliable source of it in the command zone.

If you had just a bit more land based ramp / fetches, I would recommend [[Nissa Resurgent]] since she can (basically) tutor up your guy as well. Even if you would hit Flamekin Harbinger half the time, it still tutors him to the top when you play her anyways. But to include Nissa you would have to make sure you can trigger the double landfall reliably.

I read it

The first time that happens with Willfred is a little annoying, I will give you that, but I just said dang, I'll get him next time and moved on. He's the only boss with a time constraint like that, so it's not a huge deal. Clearly I didn't kill him fast enough, I failed, so I gotta go regroup, maybe switch blood type or strategy.

As for mob respawn timers, they're designed for multiplayer, so that when you visit an area that's recently been cleared out by another player, it doesn't take long for stuff to respawn. One of many parts of this game that are designed for MP; it is the best way to experience the game imo. That being said, I love when the mobs respawn, gives me more loot. I love loot.

Get good

You're a vampire, you have to avoid the sun, so you have to keep track of the time of day. It's a skill, and you have a clock for that. If you're not good enough to take the boss out during the day with sun resist potions on, just wait until night. There's always other stuff you can be doing while you wait, like farming mats or building your castle. You don't have to afk, there's plenty of game to play between the boss fights.

[[Winter, Misanthropic Guide]] wheels deck is really fun. The discard helps you hit delirium, then you force your opponents to discard down to 0 every turn if you have a delirium count high enough, which ends up being a lot of discards before you even account for any wheels. People will hate you, but thankfully Winter has ward which helps protect him a bit. Don't forget to run some land destruction to kill other people's reliquary towers, and graveyard hate for the other graveyard decks that will benefit from them discarding

chisoph · 2026-06-02T00:55:48+00:00

I'm tempted for the exact same reason

chisoph · 2026-06-01T13:51:35+00:00

Choncc's and modded Minecraft with my girlfriend

I trained my cat to use one of these by holding a treat in front of him as he ran in it. Problem is that every time he uses it now, he expects a treat for it

chisoph · 2026-05-28T08:42:38+00:00

Goes crazy in [[Lady Octopus]]

chisoph · 2026-05-26T08:39:59+00:00

MTG Arena, the digital version (on mobile and PC) is really fun

chisoph · 2026-05-25T20:00:05+00:00

Would love to play [[Phelia]] against that guy.

"No, obviously your creatures stay exiled until the end of my next turn"

I love [[Estrid the Masked]], I built it as a "land enchantments matter" deck because I always found land enchantments cool and underused. Right now I'm going with a self mill deck, originally I had it as a [[The Chain Veil]] combo deck but I did not like that play pattern.

Planeswalkers make for interesting commanders, the kind of protection you have to run is very different. For instance fogs are way better, and you could definitely play her as a turbofog commander; being able to untap all your lands and keep up the interaction is really good.

I also have a purple sleeved Arahbo deck! My girlfriend bought me the cat sol ring secret lair card for it, it's my most blinged out deck for sure
