First OP, please be gentle!quote:Rust is a survival game created by Facepunch Studios. Inspired by games like DayZ, Minecraft and Stalker – Rust aims to create a hostile environment in which emergent gameplay can flourish. Its in Alpha, for sale on steam for 19.99$ USD. That might seem expensive but one of the minds behind Rust is Garry of Garry's mod fame, so its already pretty drat awesome. Goons will love this game since you can harvest pubbie tears like crazy! A pack of naked people yelling "friendly don't shoot" can take down some random guy in a forest pretty quick. Or a pack of goons with Kevlar, M4's and explosives can blow up someones house and dance on their corpse. Before starting up the game you should quickly read the wiki guides. It can be confusing to start new, especially at night when it is so dark you cant see your hands. UPDATED There is no in game map or compass at the moment, so for now use this Map!. This map is much better then the old one and helps people with actually names of areas. Its not perfect, many stupid names but its better then every town being called Radtown. Want to keep up on the developement of Rust? See the dev's every moves? Check out these crazy shenanigans. I've never seen this level of transparency from a developer before. Also if someone runs up to you with their dong hanging out, fear not! Everyone starts out 100% naked, which is why cold can kill you! Some tips:
My quick tip guide should help you with the basics. Most other stuff can come from the wiki guide or people in the server. Any questions or if you want specifics added to the Op let me know! The dev's are putting a ton of work into the game as I'm sure the steam sales have given them a ton of resources to work with. Some things coming in the near future patches:

So this is basically a player made (semi)persistent world sort of thing? Even though I didn't like DayZ, I kind of wanted to and i'm hoping this "flavor" of it will do it. DayZ was particularly frustrating for me since all my work could be wiped out instantly by a hilltop sniper. It seems like the rules are more or less the same, but I guess the concept of societies and villages can mean you'll at least get a running start after death?

Rust is like if Haven and Hearth had a bastard lovechild with DayZ and gave it up to Garry for adoption. It's based on the Unity engine rather than Source, but still has some very Garry-esque UI conventions (last time I played the UI was a confusing piece of poo poo) You start out literally naked with nothing but a rock and some other random poo poo (a couple bandages and a torch last time I played but it may have changed), and you whack trees, special rocks, and woodpiles to gather basic resources, which you then craft together for better equipment and tools and build houses with and such. When you're sufficiently equipped, or feeling sufficiently daring, you can go raid irradiated towns full of zombies for their loot, which you'll need for the more high-tech crafting stuff. The first ingame day or two your primary concern is finding food, since you don't start with any, and coldness makes you burn food faster, and it's pretty drat cold when you're naked. Also you only have a rock, so it's not easy to kill things when you do find them, and anything that fights back will either kill you, or injure you so badly that the resources you get won't be worth the added drain of trying to heal up. It's okay I guess. It has a lot of the DayZ problems of being randomly killed over and over again by total assholes while you're struggling to kill a pig with a rock, or finally scraping together a mediocre set of gear only to have your shack raided and you start over from nothing but once you progress to the godtier gear there's nothing to do but roll around killing poo poo and blowing up everyone else's hard work.

Play on a no sleepers server. The whole your-body-stays-when-you-log is the most retarded poo poo ever. The decay I can sort of see both sides to. On the one hand servers choked with abandoned poo poo would be bad. On the other, it's loving stupid to expect someone to make a full time job out of repairing their videogame shanty.

The game is in early alpha and very rough, but is still heaps of fun, especially if you can get a good group together.Oxyclean posted:Wow that sounds really terrible. Like, what the hell is the point of the shack then? Logging off anywhere outside of a house with a metal door means you'll probably be losing your stuff. A shack only offers some temporary security until you can build up to that point. hailthefish posted:Play on a no sleepers server. The whole your-body-stays-when-you-log is the most retarded poo poo ever. I played quite a bit before the sleepers update and personally I find it to be an improvement. It's annoying to lose everything when someone raids your house sure, but at least if you go to get back at the guy later you won't blow all your charges only to find out he logged with all his good poo poo in his inventory. Repairing, at least with a house, isn't a big deal normally. It only takes a little wood and a few seconds to keep a four room house up. The only bad part is if there is any server downtime it seems to accelerate the decay process somehow and you can come back to find half your walls gone.

Oxyclean posted:Wow that sounds really terrible. Like, what the hell is the point of the shack then? Well as of now your shack is pretty much your crafting hub, and a place to stop when its pitch black outside. If you built a wooden shack in the woods you probably would have a few gaps between the boards! Aye a no sleeper server would be a better choice. Maybe one day a goon savior will start one. (Probably me by tomorrow) Metal doors will last longer and require Explosives to blow open, so putting down multiple building foundations and making steel doors between room will discourage people from stealing your loots. *Edit* Some what discourage.. Last night i thought it would be safe to log off with 4 metal doors between me and bandits and woke up naked in a field. Yea that didn't quite work.

We should organise some sort of goon effort or something, this game looks fun but gently caress running around alone and getting shanked by penises everywhere. I'd rather make it a gangbang. E: oh yeah goon server sounds good.

I'm glad someone made a thread for this; I've been having a ton of fun with this game over the past two days. Looking forward to a good server! Since all the matchmaking is done through steam we could probably use a steam group. It's a lot funner playing on the smaller servers, people seem to be more friendly and less prone to just shoot everything they see.

I played the game a bit when it just got released for testing. Definitely interesting. Was loads of funny shaped wooden shacks all over the landscape. Unfortunately I missed the penis spectacle, and as of a few days actually the dev added a default penis censor. I'm modding the dev's forum, so if you have questions I may be able to answer.

On the one hand it would be kinda dumb for every single player to be stuck being male, but on the other hand I really don't want to see what happens when internet videogame assholes encounter anatomically correct female player models. Or, you know, a female voice in either player model, if there's an eventual choice. I just can't imagine it going well at all.

I might pick this up later this week but the fact that you can be killed while offline is a bit of a turnoff for me. I get that they do it to prevent people from just logging out of danger, but why not make it like a 30-60 minute timer where your sleeping body disappears from the game after that point?. Having to find a spot safe enough to last an hour would be potentially interesting and fun, but making it last 'til you next log in makes it sound like you are probably going to come back dead no matter where you log out.

I've never been killed once while offline, it's easy to find a hiding spot where the chances of being found are absolutely tiny. But even if you are killed, or the server resets or whatever, I find most of the fun in the game is slowly building up gear and upgrading to better weapons and bases anyway. I'd almost recommend you play alone and without the wiki open the first time - it's a lot of fun going from a naked dude running around with a rock to a proficient hunter stalking prey with a bow and arrows, and it's hugely satisfying when you build your first primitive gun (likely a roughly made single shot hand cannon but it still feels amazing). I doubt you'd get that experience playing with an organized group of experienced players, you'd probably blast through the basics then find yourself running around with an M16 and set of kevlar armour with nothing to do but shoot naked newbies who are still trying to figure out how to gather rocks.

So, is there any persistence to your character and possessions at all between deaths? I love the idea of the game, but I don't know if I can stand starting from scratch every time I get ambushed. Even the ability to store my best gear so I have something to come back to after death would be enough, but starting all over would kill any motivation I have to invest significant time into the game.

Mr Scumbag posted:So, is there any persistence to your character and possessions at all between deaths? When you die you get an option to respawn at your camp, which is wherever you last dropped a sleeping bag. This can be in the house you built, which will probably be full of containers with all of your hard-earned goodies. Here is an old screenshot of my storage shed/hillbilly shack: (Click for big, notice my sleeping bag that acts as a respawn point on my crates of supplies.) As for being killed while you are asleep: 1) It hasn't happened to me yet and 2) It is a server-side option; some servers do not use this feature. quote:From those of you who've played, what's the verdict, overall?

It's pretty drat fun even with pubbies depending on which server you are on, it'll be even better when some goons get in on things together. Here are a few more screenshots: Smelting sulfur and metal ore into usable form in my furnace. Smelting ore creates charcoal, sulfur for making gunpowder, and metal scraps which are used for many things. The sunrise from my cabin. One of the towns that can be looted.

I'm not sure I'd call it worth its current price, but I'm also not sure what else they'll end up adding that will justify it. It's definitely fun if you enjoyed the PvP aspect of something like DayZ, but other than that.

It's definitely fun if you enjoyed the PvP aspect of something like DayZ, but other than that. It's basically Minecraft with a PVP focus. The introduction for the game even states that, albeit in a way that skips around saying it. Dungeons are towns, the enemies are still zombies (But with less enemy types.), and the graphics are prettier but with more dongs as compensation. Their whole "it's a persistent world!" thing isn't that revolutionary either. Minecraft has been doing that for a long time too. As batshit crazy as the concept currently appears there really doesn't appear to be much that differentiates it yet. It doesn't appear to be bringing much to the table too if I was to go off the OP. Especially compared to games like that Minecraft-esque zombie apocalypse sim whose name I forget at the moment, or 3079, which is basically part roguelike, part Diablo, part Minecraft. Edit: Apparently they're removing the zombies as well. So it's not even taking elements from DayZ too? It's not often I say this about a game, but between nudity being added as a feature and the fairly lackluster set of features i'm not sure what the point of the game even is from a developmental standpoint.
