Rust Early Access Thread - Rock Out With Your Cock Out

Great, I haven't seen one yet so I thought maybe he had disabled it. Do you know how to trigger it manually? Also, the Gaf server is the only server I can't connect to at the moment, anyone else having that issue right now?

only he has those admin powers, I'll check on the server and see if it needs a restart
 
Officially started my character on the GAF server now. Let's see how far I'll get without getting raided :D
 
Thanks for the responses guys. As of right now I'm leaning towards Rust even though it'll probably be a few brutal hours to learn what's going on. I do like the 'Minecraft' aspect in base building. How many are in a world, or does it vary?

I highly recommend watching at least the first 10 or so minutes of most survival guides on youtube. That's all I did (I didn't want to spoil the starting experience for myself completely). It was enough to get the stone hatchet and how to build a shelter/door. I had to ask how to cook in chat, but once you have those basics down, you can pick up everything yourself pretty quickly.
 
I heard a VAC banwave happened. Has Sanjuro been justified?

Was I unjustified? There was really only a couple individuals doing it apparently when I was in there, and they were hamming it up in the global chat.

I GAMED FOR 25 YEARS, YOU THINK I NEED AN AIMBOT!?!?!?

Care to explain what happened? Hackers with aimbot on the server?

Apparently so according to this imgur album.

Does anyone have any idea where I am? I've set up shop and can't tell people how to find me.

Wait, people BUY these hacks?

And some of them are willing to buy a new copy of the game just so they can hack AGAIN?

I've lost faith in this world.

Edit: omg their tags. "Artificial Aiming VIP" lol

Gone are the times idiots roam around with free hacks that are decent. Now assholes have to buy them.
 
Is there a way to change your name on the server or do you have to change your Steam name to accomplish that?

My steam name is different from my GAF name.
 
I've managed to use the mountain in my favor by using this bowl:


At one end is someone else's house with a sideways ramp which stops people going back (they fall in a little too far) and on the other end is a doorway with a metal door. Anyone who falls in who isn't me can't get out without C4.

I'll be rich!

I'm curious as to why there were zombies in the game in the first place

Garry said he wanted to make his own DayZ, during testing he thought exactly what you said. They're thinking of alternatives to zombies.

Zombies for most of the world seems to be an instant buy/watch. If Day Z/Rust was a game featuring robots instead, it probably wouldn't have 1/4th the success

It's just a shame Day Z and Rust haven't stepped it up in that department. Zombies really don't do shit from the looks of it, and there's like 5 per 50 mile radius.

I like the sound of it, but I am not sure I understand from the picture how this works. How would someone that is not you end up there in the first place?

I've been seeing some CRAZY supposed raid-proof designs which use unholy amounts of pillars, so appreciate ideas like yours which aren't so resource heavy!

I'm in a fairly populated area so people come across often, and sometimes my tender young body that may or may not (it usually doesn't) carry nice loot can...persuade people to come through.
 
I've just bought this and haven't got a fucking clue what's going on, there are little cube houses everywhere but hardly anyone to be found. I've tried speaking to people but nobody seems to reply.. 'V' is talk, yeah?

From the 20 minutes I've played thus far, it honestly seems more barebones than DayZ at the moment.

Those sheds you found are probably abandoned. Holding V will broadcast your voice to the nearby environment, yeah. Could be that the people you spoke to dont have a headset or aren't interested in talking to you. If you need help there are usually friendly people in the chat who can give you pointers.

Did you play on the GAF server? Should be plenty people there who can help you out. If you don't have a clue what to do, read the little guide in the OP or google a starter's guide. Once you know the basics it's pretty easy.

Hope you will still give it another chance!
 
Hey, it's educator! :)

I'm playing as Reservebelg on the GAF server, not going to change my steam name.

I remember you too! =)

See you around sometime, though the odds are small. I've actually only met three players during my 11 hours so far, but I guess that explains the tension when you actually meet another player.
 
So are Zeesniper and Shazbot in GAF? Or are they just on the server to be the typical raider dicks that are on every server?

They aren't. They have been gaming for 25 years and have become leaders in their field. In those 25 years, they apparently failed to maintain a membership here and just read posts.

:jnc
 
Something needs to be done about the playing population. Deliberate harassment of a small group of players by these people isn't acceptable. All they do is hunt and stalk that small group to grief and harrass

They aren't as far as I'm aware, my strategy with them has been to taunt them into killing me over and over again while I have nothing. Make them waste some bullets~
 
Just got hatched to death by Shazbot. Never got the chance to even say hello... I didn't lose any valuables though thank god.

Yay, finally a member after being a junior for more than a year!

I'll give the GAF server a try, thanks!

Would probably be worth looking up some YouTube guides too.

Group up with whoever is willing to join your cause, do some scouting, find there place and go blow shit up.
 
Had a nice run on the GAF server. Thanks to Cell for hooking me up with a hatchet and some food. I was finally able to get a leg up, and get some ore, wood, and meat harvested. Once you get going this game is loads of fun, and I just scratched the surface. Hopefully, I'll be alive when I log back in.

Is there a GAF compound somewhere? Or, are you guys just doing your own thing?
 
Shazzbot and a bud came across my place. They were trying to get in but it's pretty solid. I stepped out with a gun and they acted nice enough. Now I'll be more weary of them.
 
So far the extent of my interactions with other players has been limited to taking a few shots at a guy dressed in green (Kevlar?) that was coming my way. Then I promptly ran the hell away from there!
 
Hey Hambone!

Glad I could help. I've been doing my own thing nearby where we met. Just trying to survive and avoid that group of 4-5 murder machines running around.

I keep a small homestead with a fairly short territory that I patrol for supplies. I rarely leave the territory because I can make almost everything for myself. When folks such as yourself stumble upon my territory I try my best to assist them (I helped you find a rock.)

Think of me as a simple mountain man trying to live through natural law.

Can you build a load of secure doors that lead to nothing, just to troll prospective thieves?

I did :)

I appreciate the help. Knowing there are some good souls out there will keep me coming back. I was just murdered in cold blood, and lost a lot a good loot.
