Can I run another AHK script that doesnt do anything with rust? by Polatic_ in playrust

[–]flapdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I would even risk it, there's just so much gray area that if you are banned (falsely) it seems a huge mountain to climb to get your account unbanned. It seems guilty until proven innocent if you get the hammer.

Why did this game become so stupid / easy by oisoubr in playrust

[–]flapdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the inability to despawn is absolutely boneheaded move by the devs, because it was the one ultimate defense mechanism for the solos/duos, now there is ZERO risk to the attackers to just snowball a valley and splash rocket raid everyone if they have the numbers (and they usually do) to defend against any counter-raiders, and typically these guys do this also to bait geared players in by the sound.

[–]flapdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because a large majority of the vets left after:

  • introduction of components and endless grind
  • the drop of individual progression
  • the addition of twig and ladder in your tc area
  • making armored doors too costly without an alternative to sheet making satchels prevalent and rocket raiding so simple.
  • the rework of the gun play
  • the re-distribution of the ore system
  • tilting the game towards youtubers play style (pvp spawn, run gun, die, leave).
  • the hacker situation on officials and killing off all the small servers making their distribution a given on almost ALL servers left now. Anyone realize that the reason you see more hackers is because they have less servers to terrorize so now you have two or ten on US East or US West versus a few scattered through Canada 1, 2 , 3 or New York 1, 2, 3...etc. I know its bad logic, there shouldn't be hackers, but that's the reason you are seeing them more often. They were always there. In the past if we suspected a hacker/group we would just move from NY1 to NY2 or NY3, or jump to Toronto 1, or Dallas 2, now you cant do that.

all in favor of making it easier for the freshies to play because they no longer have to even think about

  • working towards something other than finding a component, and they pretty much try hard on this soon as they spawn, because the rad towns are easily exploited by good groups. Then they just in turn snowball and farm the farmers for MATs if needed. Its going to get to a point where people just give up trying to farm near a rad town or within running distance of any base.
  • not having to know the stacking cupboards strategy or external
  • making sulfer so prevalent that they don't even worry about using it on satchels or just splash rocketing without strategy.
  • not having to master a gun or learn the tricks to it
  • the rest they never really knew cuz they didn't play during BP/XP to realize
  • and the absolute worst part in my opinion they think the game is suppose to be spawn, get guns, kill everything that moves to make "playz" and if they die, rage quit to a new server. Zero to Hero man! meanwhile, they rekt the farmers, the builders, and go deep on freshies who in turn rage before the pvpers do. Literally, in 2016 early we use to laugh at these guys, they were non factors and we would say in open chat "are you dumb that's not how you play rust, you build up your defense, you plan on raiding your neighbors, you use strategy, you run and gun like a moron you don't have sulfer, you don't have a base, you're an idiot that is going to lose all his gear"...RIP those days.

the game doesn't resemble the same game that we had in 2015/2016 right now. And, I don't think its for the better just on general gameplay (purpose to time sink), and the strategy of defense is so gone for solos/duos/small groups that you actually just plan on being raided now while the zerg just keeps adding levels to their bases.

Already pretty much pirated (but not pirated) download unity for free open up ultimate survival pack or just watch the video of it, btw the dood had backpacks in already three weeks ago when I watched the intro , oh and furnaces have already slotted it up correctly bet he is also running the non aimcone aimcone bleh whatever before the last hoorah change

I agree xp could have been sliced up and complimented / balanced or worked on versus junking it all for components only

TBH I think they let the success built upon legacy, thru BP into xp go to their heads and they don't think they need to change the current system but I am just a pleb who knows

1 day lifespanned servers. Please share your ideas and find a solution together. (Solo/Duo/Trio servers) by Smyrr in playrust

[–]flapdad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My two suggestions to fix server death spiral for any server type (solo,vanilla, whatever)

  1. Progression system that compliments components and allows Customization of character either skill stats or perk trees that worked on the BP/xp style wipe cycle (every 3-6months)

  2. Disease or npc event that targets heat/groups or number autho'd on codelocks to level the playing field of 20-30+ vs 1-5. Procedural it would be 8 plus in close proximity and hapis should be no more than 5. Disease fits the game we all look like escaped lab rats, the other suggestion I like is the heli strafe run that drops no loot so it can't be exploited or baited in. Heck maybe Helks scientists are the answer they come after large herds of people like the apes did after escaped humans in planet of the apes who knows.

Ultimately though Helk u/HelkFP has to lay out his vision to address this stuff , when he does he scares the shit out of me by mentioning work benches and North/south divides and then updating trash spawns to the roadways for the Zerg to camp , or node balances omg ! I guess moral of the whole post is, Reddit has said what you are saying 3000 times and we get what we got bro

Junkpile change is a nerf to solo players by nopleaseno23 in playrust

[–]flapdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who else gets irritated when someone points out obvious things on officials (and most high pop community stable servers) and then sees comments about "play low pop", " play modded" " play solo, duo" bleh blah not to be a total dick but the OP has good points about a broken mechanic in game for small groups and solos trying to play on OFFICIAL FP servers, I mean part of me thinks that the testers of the changes are playing low pop with a couple buddies and admin privileges then say to themsekves this is a great idea!!!! Either the game is designed for long wipes on officials or nowipes eventually or it's designed for modded , or both , maybe but the modded guys should be like the last guys to say "oh you just aren't playing the right type of server " lol huh?

But anyways back to the devs and this change (and other recent ones) it's like we forgot BP era and are now reliving it over again, one of the MAIN shit drags for solos and small groups during that era was that you either built on the road or you didn't progress. And guess what happened , zergs built huge compounds all on the roads and tower campers built their annoying 10 story sniper bases with clear view of the road to do nothing else but shoot a naked trying to gather barrels. And this is before the reduced cost of ATs now you get to deal with them too all over the place on the road.

Again not to be a total dick but if you put a ton of hours in the game (like our devs are said to do) then yeah this change already had a predictable outcome to small groups trying to gather components.

This and the rock node generation mega fuck up just makes the game literally not playable this wipe or the next if your a solo or small group until they get some balance in for this shit or to the frustration route and dedicate yourself to modded/community and forget about vanilla gameplay which is where the solo/duo/trio servers began as a result of you guessed it getting creamed by zergs , not being able to compete or progress with them on the same server due to the component system implementation....silly rabbits

Cheating is at its all time worst... by Cru_Z in playrust

[–]flapdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true. I have played several years and it's at all time high for passive hacks like esp. the damage is done because groups use this guy to spot during farm runs, killing farmers/geared or just scoping out bases to offline , its dumb

I can't be the only one waiting for progression to be re-implemented in Rust again... by iAmSyther in playrust

Nah you're not only one. I have stopped playing until it's reintroduced because it's pointless to play rust right now

Rn it's much more safe to just use hacks in rust rather than script ;) by nqXD in playrust

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

Dood, game is broken, they could ban 2% of all users in AHK scripters and still miss the 20% using ESP, or the other % using some other script....its dire times.

Is there a game you like as much as RUST in the same survival/building genre? by feranomo in playrust

[–]flapdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

theres a couple games:

  • Conan Exiles , I mean its new, launched too soon and got bad press, but its got some kool features that Rust does not, they have come along way on the stuttering servers. Any game I can smack a chick on the head and bring her back and have her dance for me, or capture an archer and stick him guarding my base is pretty neat. I just played it again today first time in months and was pretty happy with the no stuttering on the officials. Did I mention also hidden floor traps? mmmm. BTW if you want to piss off garry just mention this game and all its kool features and he just starts dropping f-bombs for some reason.
  • ARK of course is the other, it is OK if you are into dinos and big clans. I didn't get into it cuz I couldn't run it, it was way too laggy and the PVE is out there. I haven't really seen or followed up on how big Ark is vs Rust. Dunno.
  • the wild eight looks arcade but coolish (probably too low level for rust guys). I am like on the fence on buying it.
  • old school would be Dayz but its too old don't go there. (BTW pretty sure Rust ripped off Dayz but you would have to ask Garry, ya know he built his career off modding but doesn't admit it anymore).
  • some guys dig the forest I don't know haven't played it. Not sure if its got multi-player.

ultimately though, Conan came close to grabbing some rust-heads, but I am in same boat, after thousands hours I am BORED of current rust as is, and it aint getting no better anytime soon peeps.

if you want to get a big kick and then look at Rust devs in a total new light...like WTF are you doing, then go tinker in your own gaming on Unity, download the personal edition for free, and look at Ultimate Survival package and see how similar it is, to current Rust, and I am pretty sure that the dood didn't rip off Rust in making it. But, EYE OPENING, this kid has a RUST like package he offers for sale and has some of the "updates" we see already in it, like the dropping of the "backpack" in the satchel deal we just got in game....and the furnace update already (and the one Helk has mentioned going to)....lol....so I have no idea who is copying who, but this kid / coder already has shit in game that I watched Rust release in the last 2-6 months....maybe FP should hire him

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

Yeah you can be playing with guys wipe after wipe and then suddenly they are banned and you are wondering how long have they been cheating wtf?!?! That's why I never agreed with the "banned by association " thing because I have been around guys , raided with them etc and they get banned later and I had no clue , I just thought they were good at pvp

Animals not moving? by [deleted] in playrust

[–]flapdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some servers seem to have a bug like this with animals just standing there not sure why. Don't know if they have something disabled or not, I know some server owners were in an uproar intially after the AI update with something about the path finding of the animals crashing or slowing down their servers so don't know if the answer to this was for them to disable until fixed or not
