kiresays posted:This seems pretty decent, I'm guessing it's an advanced alpha? Playable and all that? Very playable! Server does lag a bit from time to time and there are a lot of "alpha" moments, but compared to the DayZ SA, this is like soild gold. Also the updates seem to come pretty darn frequently. There is a lot that isn't easy to decipher as a new player so read the OP, maybe the wiki too. Although some people do think starting blind is the most fun. Pro-tip though, hitting trees and rocks with your starting stone give you resources. The voice chat in this game works incredibly well, so sometimes you might be able to use it to talk to other players for help, assuming they don't just shoot you in the face.

I am trying to connect to the goon server mentioned in the op and getting an auth failure. When connecting to other servers I am getting a timeout error. Anyone run into this?

It's quite clear the devs are unsure in what direction to take this game but I wish they would've stuck with medieval weaponry with a more slightly magical upgrade path, ala Savage 1/2 (chemical grenades, lightning staves, sniper crossbows, etc). This rock/bow&arrow and m4/cargo plane poo poo is kinda wacky.

So this was posted in the Rust forum on FP yesterday evening by one of the devs.Helk posted:
Headshots with an M4 should kill or drat near do so even with kevlar. Bolt action rifles  Being a giant dick and plastering roads with toll booths and lining them with spike walls is on my list of things to do. Or maybe even having disposable forts with bridges and shooting platforms over the road in chokepoints. Possibilities

I'm sad to see that ammo will be harder to craft now but it was sorely needed, as it stands now, I never have want for ammo and anyone who has a gun can basically spew it forever. Ammo should totally be very rare, and deciding to use it or not should factor largely into whether or not you engage in a fight. Right now, if I see another human, I shoot at him. I mean why not? I have over 500 rounds waiting for me in my shack. Can I shotgun down wood doors?

ScienceAndMusic posted:Can I shotgun down wood doors? I didn't see anything like that, it would make for a whole mess of Hopefully they'll add bullet penetration at some point so that wood walls aren't invulnerable to small arms fire. Maybe reduce damage by a lot so that even if you hit someone its not an easy kill? If you have a group of guys with M4's (but no C4) you should be able to surround the shack or whatever and just magdump on it and hope you hit whoever's inside. Same goes for if you're inside and can see the guys creeping around outside, you should be able to shoot back at least without having to have windows for people to jump into. Plus if ammo is super rare it's not as feasible as it would be now to just bring 1000 rounds each and pour them all into a defender's fort and hope they all die before bothering with the C4.

One shotting dudes in the head with an M4 won't be that easy because M4's wont be that plentiful. The M4 is a high end military grade weapon, I expect there will be many bolt actions and pipe shotguns instead. Patch looks awesome! I'll make sure the server gets the update asap.

ravenkult posted:Is there a way to build a tower? I'd like to build a tower. Yes. When you're building with proper wooden walls and floors and pillars on a foundation you can stack them up and use stairs to go between levels. Last time I played just about the only things anyone built were the starter shacks, and giant fuckoff towers.

I played this for about 8 hours yesterday, it's quite addicting once you get in the groove of things. In my first couple tries I was spawned in the middle of nowhere, and exhausted my energy trying to find food resources, to the point of having to suicide and start again. Keeping my stuff is a real challenge, it's nice to see a game that does not allow people to horde and build impregnable mega fortresses so easily. If you want to keep all your poo poo in the games current state you have to work somewhat hard, lots of inventory management and moving your stuff and houses around. Also I treat this as a real post apocalyptic simulator. When you see two naked men running down another naked man while one shoots him with a shotgun and the other hits him with a rock, all for a can of tuna, you get a grim feeling of things to come. Overall it gets boring after awhile, hopefully some new features/items and tweaks will increase it's lifespan and replay value. One of the greater moments was trying to find my buddy on the server, talking to him via team speak. It took almost an hour, there is no compass or anything. The maps on the wiki sites are alright but still not that helpful as you can never get a large overhead view of everything. Once you get a knowledge of the landmarks and find out the road is a big "8", it becomes a bit easier. I wish you didn't have to pay $20 to experience it for a few hours first.

Yes! The dong is strong with that one. The game feels a bit lacking in direction at the moment but as the devs add stuff to it it's going to become better and better. Right now it's an incredible human stupidity generator, and it is amazing.

So Garry recommended due to the changes in balance to the game that all servers should wipe, official servers are of course wiped. I think Nuck should wipe too, I mean plenty of people are learning the ropes and babby's first base may have been breached badly and people learn to make better bases. A fresh start on a new build would be pretty good, coming from someone who has absolutely everything stockpiled on this server too so I wouldn't mind it honestly to keep it fresh with the new builds.

This looks really similar to the Wasteland mod for ARMA2/3, except with a better building mechanic, wildlife, and crafting. Is that a pretty accurate assessment?

Do you still have to get a beta key from Facepunch if you want to run a dedicated server? I'd like to set one up but SteamCMD keeps telling me I don't have a subscription, and some older posts on the steam forums seem to indicate that you need to get authorized by Facepunch to run something.

I've been playing on the West Coast goon server. My friend badgered me to try it, whilst I explained how dumb it looked. Boy was I wrong. We played all night. We are paranoid hill-folk who come down to kill mans at night. I guess we would be open to other paranoid hill-goons to join our nudist colony. We're very trigger happy. I'm pretty sure I put a few holes in fastlikecheetah while he was being chased by zombies, unarmed and naked. And I'm the tamest of our crew. Sorry about that, Overture.
