Its being released on steam sometime this month (Tomorrow I think!) and people like myself how bought it early alpha already have access to it on steam.

I've been playing it a ton the past month, I was lucky enough to be able to buy one of the few keys going early alpha. I think its the perfect balance between a game like dayz and minecraft. I know there is a lot of games out there that try to copy both dayz and minecraft but this one is actually good and its pretty unique as far as I can tell.

The crafting is great, you can build your own base to store all your loot. There is player communities. There is plenty of weapons from make shift bows to m4's. You gather resources such as food, stone, wood & metal. You need to keep warm at nights to help keep your food bar up. I could go on and on about this game really and its still only in early alpha.

Im not saying go out and buy it. Just look it up and you should be able to tell if its for you or not.

Is this the one developed by the guys behind Garry's Mod (or was that just Garry?!? :pac:)?

Anyway, had been watching this, DayZ and a few others without really hitching my wagon to any of them. But this one certainly looks the part. Will keep an eye on feedback over the next couple of weeks. If it's positive, I'll go for it!

killanena

Its the fella that made garys mod alright.

manonboard

I like the sound of the premise. Will keep an eye on this game for when it gets finished.

Yeah i seen that, finding the right server will be important. I Played for an hour or so there and im liking it

Not The Real Scarecrow

So many of these types of games around at the moment, it's hard to tell which one to go with.I picked up the Dayz as its a no brainer that it'll be heavily populated further down the line. The rest of them ,I'm not sure. Bought far too many games that have little to no people playing it a month or two after launch.That's why I reckon I'll hold off on picking this up till it's at least nearing a finished product.

Picked this up at the start of the weekend, it's pretty funny but you really need the right server. Brother and I were on one server where we were building and stocking up good loot for a few days

When I logged back on the house was destroyed and everything was gone, turned out that the admins raided and destroyed everyone's house. They were having gun fights with people and were losing to them so they banned a load of them. Put a dampener on it and had to find a new server as that one had a mass exodus because of dickhead moves by the admins.

Played on one of the UK official servers, very hard as nearly every space is occupied and you have roaming gangs killing new spawns.

I think there's far too many survival games out there at the moment, this is one is funny but it's pretty much reverted to DayZ where people just slaughter each other on sight.

Ive been playing Rust sense last summer when it was in really early alhpa and they only sold a few copies a week. It has always had a stable population with at least 2 full servers 24/7, now that its on steam it is rapidly increasing and is actually kinda hard to get on during peak hours.

Dcully

Ive watched some streams on twitch over xmas and it looks great, looks very polished too.

smithy1981

I'm off today so i'm going to check the forums for a fresh server and spend a few hours trying it out. If anybody wants to join, just let me know here.

Damo 2k9

Im playing on a decent server, helpful admins and not everyone is a a**hole :P GreatBritishGaming is the name, just been wiped yesterday and its waiting to go back up so should be back up later. Really liking this game, although its really hard to meet up with friends haha

SherlockWatson

As someone who used to absolutely love Minecraft back in the day, and a current fan of Dayz, this game looks like great fun.

Tempted to pick it up big time.

Cravez

Ha read that aswell while considering buying it! Watched a few LP's and it does look like good craic, good server and a good gang is what's needed for it!

killanena

I haven't played in over 2 weeks now because I was a bit busy but I think ill pop on tonight if anyone wants to join me? I'll be starting fresh though.

Edit: Thought it might be worth mentioning if this game become pretty popular here on boards that we should set up and Irish server.

Is it worth the near €19 right now in it's alpha form?

I about it for €24 at good while back and I thought it was worth my investment then and now its much more polished, less bugs and more content and still in the early dads of alpha. Id recommend watching people playing on twitch for awhile and make your decision based on that. I doubt it will be on sale any time so as it wasn't over the Christmas and its still currently one of the highest games purchased daily.

Someone mentioned about servers being hacked - is that a big issue? I would probably give it a bit more time to ensure that proper communities are built up. I found Garry's Mod's Trouble in Terrorist Town pretty much unplayable until I found a server that had a good admin and moderating team.

Steam started banning people 2 days ago but its still a big problem as far as ive read. Finding the right server seems very important.

This is making me hold off on buying it as well. Really interested but i can't imagine a game rife with hackers will be very fun atm.

Not The Real Scarecrow

just looking at the steam rust forums. Lot of people saying that the game is close to unplayable with all the hackers and that the banning system isn't working.After reading a bit here , I was going to pick it up today, but after reading the forums, I think I'll definitely hold off for a good while.

Irish / EU server here folks:

IP: 85.236.109.2
Port: 28715

I currently admin the server. It's PvP with NO AIRDROPS. That said, i won't let it become a grief-fest server. About 8 regular, talkative players so far with a cap of 50. Server is still in it's early days so no-one will be handicapped.

I've a mumble server I can put up too if the user-base wish.

This prompted me to buy it to be honest.

I was reading about it and a lot of peoples problems at the moment stem from the community, with people hacking/duping, I think once you find a good server then it becomes a hell of a lot more fun and less annoying.


I'll be on this server later tonight for a while, with a bit of luck!


For anyone else that may not have the greatest computer/laptop, if you press F1 and type grass.on false it will disable a good bit of the grass and imrpove FPS a small bit

69Conor69

Excellent...another member from here joined the server yesterday also.

I was reading RPS and came across something in the comments that sums these kinds of games up perfectly for me:

It’s just a slow long winded version of Quake. Only no one starts with a pistol and the powers ups are spread thinly over a gigantic map.

Pretty much what I don't like about them. :P

Professional Griefer

I heard that they fixed all the hacks and stuff today, banned close to 1k people. Anyone playing confirm?

69Conor69

Was only on for an hour or so today, but can't say that I've noticed much hacking at all. But then ours is a fairly small population server anyway.

Patch notes indicated it was primarily a bug-fix patch - Hope you're right though.

Conor

Burgo

Your average day in rust.

Duggy747

Stay away from the official servers, on top of hacking (dunno what it's like now since the new patch) and dodgy lag it's pretty much kill on sight with marauding gangs shooting new spawns. Quite tough if you're on your own or new to the game.

I tend to stay on small enough population servers between 20-40 people, even then it can be hard to get a good one as there's a lot out there with admins who abuse their power like noclipping into houses and raiding them.

New patch http://playrust.com/

Duggy747

Pretty much the community :pac:

Some asshole killed myself and the brother, new spawns, as we were laying down our foundation. He then put pillars in the middle of them to stop us from putting stairs on them.

After a few hours when we geared up, we found him and staked out his house. Brother acted as a decoy to lure him out, which he took the bait, and I then ran up behind him and shot him in his smarmy face.

He respawned instantly in a small hut right beside me but his measly rock just meant another peppering of lead in his gob.

The great thing was his body was full to the brim of goodies like armor, guns, tons of wood / food / metal, first aid, etc. We also put pillars on the foundations to the extension of his pretty big house.

The plan tonight is to build over his house and claim it :pac:

Teach him to kill a new spawn....

Was on boards server there for a while, only 4 on but hopefully be a few more around over the weekend. Good game, not certain how long it will remain interesting for but certainly a lot better than the DayZ alpha

BKtje

Think I'll pick this up later today and will join the boards server

Keeping an eye on this thread, as I would trust the opinions of people on here more than anywhere else, so if it seems like it's getting better then I'll purchase the game!

It's pretty good but as ever when games come out in alpha or early release you end up becoming doing a lot of what there is to do very quickly. IMO Minecraft alpha had a lot more things to do/craft and there was more things to interact with which meant that you were always finding new things as new items were being added to the build.
I hope that it'll be the same with Rust.

It's more the Community I'd be concerned about rather than the game itself. From what's been said here one of the larger problems is the people that play on it- the hackers or griefers, if you will.

I reckon that as new patches come out the hacking will be linited if not removed completely as more and more things get moved to server-side control and not client maybe? Having spent an age playing Dayz I'm not overly worried about griefing. Seeing as it's possible to break into other peoples stuff and houses I'll play with the idea that everyone is a griefer

BKtje

Right won't be jumping on this tonight but should be giving it a go this week at some point. Have to go to work in an hour or two and want to give this a proper go for my first go

Ponster

Wonderful video for new players trying to locate where they are in the Rust world.

Villain

Not very many on the boards server today, a lot of stuff around the place with buildings half finished or blown open.

killanena

Most I've seen on it was around 6-7 people roughly. Ususally during the evening.

Villain

Ya not really enough to get any kind of PVP going.

killanena

Its more pve with a hint of pvp as every player I have ran into has been kind, Its just a nice change from normal rust servers.

BizzyC

Started playing this today, but dont see the point.

I had built myself a secure little base, metal doors etc.
Had myself a nice stash built up and logged off for 5 mins inside my secure building.

When I logged back in, I was on the other side of the map, without any of my gear.
I was killed by a bear, respawned back inside the still secure building (all doors and walls intact), but most of mystash was gone...

Tricky enough to get by worrying about raiders and wildlife without worrying that you'll lose progress by logging off...
