Ahhhh, I remember the old naked rock fighting arena in Rust.

It was almost as fun as the roving Jeopardy gangs.

I remember setting up a trading post in WarZ with a bunch of goons and trying to get pubbies to play along. It inevitably got hosed up by a hacker/server hoppers, but it'd be really fun if we could get something like that going in H1Z1. I really regret purchasing the DayZ standalone though, so I'm going to wait around and check out some more impressions of the game before diving in.

Hah. Holy poo poo I forgot about the gunshop in the beantown post office. That was hilarious.

What is your favorite game?

Pac Man, obviously. It is the most pure version of gaming ever achieved, and no mere game developer can ever hope to reach that pinnacle again.

I can't believe I am considering buying this horrible game. I remember all the fun of early Rust days... but I also remember some of the misery.

And the fuckshacks.... oh the fuckshacks!

Can you pick up placed landmines in this game?

I think some of my best memories in Rust were the raids we did with like, a dozen guys in cloth armor with pipe shotguns and bows.

Spawned in earlier (for the second time. I got killed by Goons the first time) and immediately saw another player named Toysrus, who I proceeded to beat to death.

I think I'm getting the hang of this.

Eh, they have to make money somehow when this game goes F2P at launch and I can't imagine people will keep spending money on airdrops when they realize they'll only actually get the airdrop about 5% of the time.

Finding tickets is pretty easy, and you win a ticket back for placing top 5 I believe which shouldn't be too tough when they fix the BR servers to only allow 32 people in instead of 200.

There are also crates like TF2/CS.

I really hope they make metal scrap more common because it's so drat important yet so scarce. Make wrecked cars generate it at set intervals like rabbit traps or something.

Its funny cause once you get 3-4 pieces you are set for a while. That's enough to make a backpack frame, spear and hatchet with some left over.

I don't think a community where you have to pay :10bux: to rejoin after a ban could survive

Pretty sure there have been hackers in some other EA games like Rust that spent several hundred dollars on accounts as they got banned.

EDIT: I just realized what you did there, you clever bastard.

I've found joy in playing a pacifist in Battle Royale mode. I run around with my hands up blasting "Why can't we be friends" over virtual audio cable.

I die every single time, but it's usually good for a laugh and a free hat skin.

Regarding loot: I feel like it's alright for right now. Once Alpha is over and done with maybe tone down the gun/ammo spawns a bit, but I'm actually finding enough food/cloth/metal to not be playing Blackberry Eating Simulator 2K15 anymore.
