Hi,

Wondering if there's a plan in the pipeline to make player's cars to not take dmg?

My teammate was tabbed out and when he tabbed back in he accidentally destroyed another player's car because he left clicked on his game screen and shot a rocket. The player's car had 2 storage modules full of loot and it caused us a headache to convince them it was an accident.

It would be really nice if this could be done so other people's cars cannot be destroyed by rockets...

She's my best friend but I am not biased. Ask anyone about her and they will tell you what a friendly, helping, chatty person she is. As many of us do, she deals with a lot of shit irl but she never ever shows it to anyone ig. She wants to keep the spirits up and just murder scientists and bears.  Unlike myself, I've not once seen her rage at anyone ever. I always wondered how can someone always be so patient with randos on the internet (even if they are total asses she stays nice). She is an epic Rust artist! She can free-hand paint/draw EPIC pieces of art on the canvases/frames ig, seriously!

Thsnks Death. This was indeed the right call from upper management, I support it 100%.

People will just take advantage out of anything it doesn't matter the impact it has on the greater good... selfish af indeed.

Have some bad news sadly...

Yesterday after the last update Death released, I've put 1k lgf each in sulfur and stone quarries, I've let these run overnight.

Today I went to loot, got 2000 sulfur from the sulfur quarry (I'm assuming 2000 sulfur is the right amount for 1k lgf? Idk..)
But the stone quarry had no output at all and lgf was gone.

This is on EU Scourge.

4 hours ago I put 5k LGF and I just looted the stone quarry on EU Scourge, here is the result of 4 hours:

Consumed 5 LFG and got 70 stone and 10 metal ore. Hope this helps.

No rush, I'm just reporting my findings and I lost no fuel on this really....

I can report that EU Scourge quarries do not work at least for the past 2 days now. Lgf is consumed with no output.

I think you're trying too hard and need to stop worrying so much over what names people pick on the internet in an 18+ game. It's not my problem you get offended easily by things that are otherwise considered hilarious by the general population.

Titslingers used to be our clan name and there was 4 people at some point running around with that name. What else you got?

This thread is not about your feelings about how I use my vocabulary. Let's get back on track.

Read carefully I say "also the fucking playerbase aren't thirsty fucks"  this was about the EZ server playerbase NOT being thirsty which is a positive comment about the server. Please, explain to me how I am insulting anyone here?  

Regarding the swearing, I explained to Anonim many times, that YES I am a pottymouth, I swear a lot (I even do it at my family get togethers, it's how I talk/express myself). There is a difference between a pottymouth (me) and someone who cusses to insult other people (not me). I wanna see an incident where I am ACTUALLY insulting someone please because all I read  is your smear campaign so far.   (Except for KombatKen he is probably the only person I've directly cussed out but he started it and he wouldn't back off and the last time that happened was back in April.)

I am yet to see a single evidence of me actually insulting another player from our servers??? All you have shown me so far are out of context screenshots of random conversations. Please circle in the parts where you think I insulted a player and we can analyze together.

As for KombatKen, I have him muted since April.

He has not left me alone since April. It's not his job to police playerbases (we have admins for that). He comes to my base, flies around it, lands and stares through the window, hangs about. EVEN THOUGH all parties included have been told by admins to stay clear of eachother. We listened... he did not, he kept on coming. And now he is bringing up random shit and telling lies or modifying what actually happened... Listen to the youtube clip you posted yourself, it says all about who started this whole drama, it was you.  

Sapnu and I haven't been together since June... so I don't know what you're halucinating, we used to team up until last wipe but we don't even do that anymore.

Also I have never ever claimed an entire island to myself like ever, so there is another lie without any evidence.

As for Granny... for real, Granny is nice and friendly to anyone who is nice and friendly to her. Simple as that.

As for the people moaning about fps drops around my base(s). Don't play from the US, on a EU server and complain about frame drops and crashing. Duh... When I play on the US server I lag and experience fps drops all the time too, you don't hear me moaning about it.

This is horrible. :/ 

Twig has to decay within a day of placement if it's not upgraded....

I just want to add my part in to this discussion, most of the problematic issues have been discussed already though so i won't go further on them.

What my issue is is that there are a number of people who like to 'claim' public events (e.g. garrison, bradley, cargo ship, patrol heli). The problem with this is obviously that people are unwilling to share the loot at all. They will express their opinions in chat on how you're not allowed to 'steal' their public event and even in some instances had threats against me on how i'm  going to get banned for participating in such an event without their permission.

The argument that comes up to me the most is always "I/we  were here first"

There is NO claiming monumnents, bradleys or whatever... Any player who says or tries to do this, I ignore completely, if I am at Launch and I see bradley, I am going to rocket that ass and I am going to take my share of the loot if I've done enough damage. 

But this also does not mean that, if I am doing cargo and I killed all the scientists, someone can just come in after and expect to take my loot... You need to have dealt enough amount of dmg to claim a share.

The rules are unclear, open to interpretation, there's not enough admin presence to enforce these rules and even if I go on a reporting spree it doesn't stop bradley from getting camped on EU Scourge or EU Survival simply because some admins will even ignore the situation even if they are online and there is drama in chat. Some of them just stay silent completely... It's ridiculous. Therefore, I do not care what the brad campers say or expect. If I'm there, you better kill that shit fast before I get a chance to put a rocket or C4 in him, or you're GOING TO share the loot.

Simple as that really.

This is a quirky little suggestion;

What if we increased the radiation levels at Launch Site (except for in the Red Card Puzzle) to be higher (on modded servers, like Scourge)? Without a Hazmat Suit, the effects would be deadly with long exposure; With a Hazmat suit, you still have a max of [5]* Radiation? This should be enough to force players to keep from sitting inside Launch Site, as they'll constantly be using Meds, Food/Water, etc. The number should be low enough for a Hazmat Suit to run through and loot the monument and lootable areas, without having too quick of a health drain. Hazmats Suits also mean players cannot wear armor sets into the Launch Site, meaning events like Bradley may be slightly more difficult. In theory, I hope this idea would force players to make better decisions on whether or not entering Launch Site is worth it to them, and make it less likely people are going to be standing around the area waiting.
 

This sounds like it would be more work to do then to just simply fix the rules, make a detailed clear list of rules players can refer other players to, without having an hour long debate in global chat... 

On top of it, we have other bugs that still haven't been addressed so I really don't think adding some new feature to the server is the answer here...

Waiting for the stash existing option to return feels like waiting for this pandemic to be over.... These are the longest couple of days I've experienced Death.. you're killing us... my boxes are a mess. T_T

The number of times in a day I have to explain what no camping means to utter idiots is so much on the rise I can't even... I don't have the energy. People don't seem to have the intelligence level to comprehend why a person who never camps is always going to be at a disadvantage over someone who does.

Miss a lot of the old ways we had things, this is one of them. Not having the ability to no longer default a skin or skin multiple items at once....

Appeciate the efforts but wouldn't it have been better to implement this after that was ready to go or is that happening soon? I don't mean to be a nag but I cannot begin to express what a trigger this is for someone who is a neat freak such as myself. I loot everything and the option to stash exisiting loot in the storage boxes in base is just such a massive luxury that I've been used to for so long... Surely I can't be the only one who feels agonized by this new thing... x.x

I'm dying... DYING!~

Yes I understand and agree with finding a way to prevent that however; I still want quick stash or stash existing to come back... I don't understand how this has anything to do with monuments. ":/

Heya,

So yes I am not a fan of the new looting system as it only works in one direction and that is to take stuff into your inventory and not deposit items into storage boxes. This is an absolute OCD nightmare when I cannot click existing and it puts everything nicely where it needs to go.

Just wondering why we're changing things that were never really broken?

Sorry to add to this but it is a daily issue... I work full time, 40 hours a week, I stop work around 4:30-5pm and by that time all I want to do is (well ideally meet with my friends and get pissed but due to the pandemic that's not an option anymore so) play Rust... Go do whatever it has to offer at the time without having to feel guilty because someone had been camping brad for 20 minutes and all I did was fly in with a mini and killed it. Literally happened not an hour ago where I got shit from a player who was apparently waiting on him and when I link the rules I get more back talk. I don't want back talk... I want people to just not moan and whine because they're not allowed to break the rules otherwise I'm going to start breaking the rules and steal every loot or camp every monument... See how that works??? Two can play that game, but here we are good little kiddies following server rules and having to put up with the retaliation that comes with it too. Just put some clear list of rules. I don't feel like getting off work and then have to deal with keyboard warriors and drama in global all night long...

Pffff having to take time out of my work-free evening to type out this was taxing...

Yeah so obviously this is all a mess and I agree 100% with everything Geri said.

Especially the Scourge servers are having so much trouble following the rules.

Public monuments and events are server-wide events in public spaces and typically aren't meant to be soloed. If others want to participate there's nothing you can do about it – they want to have fun, the same as you. Compromise is a big part of playing on a community server.  

- If players join and participate: share the loot. Most players do. If they don't  report them.
- If players join and take the loot w/o participating (or fires one arrow kind of deal and say "BUT I HELPED" and snags the crates) , report them.
- If players are being greedy and claiming (hogging) events and not letting others participate, report them.

Hope this helped answer some of your questions.

Hi Aurora,

Thanks for your time. I agree with a lot of points from your original reply but there are some points that need to be disected further. As you know toxicity levels have gone way up with the surge of new players. No matter how much we as a community would like to help moderate and explain rules when admins are missing, this often results in a war in chat with people who know the rules vs the ones who will start roasting you for telling them the rules and they will resort to that idiotic statement "BUT THIS IS RUST"... Hapenned to me quite a lot of times, people don't really read or understand English really well and all it ends up coming off as is you being a b*tch basically or them twisting every single thing you say in chat.

We need the above points somewhere as part of the official FAQ and in more detail because English is not everyone's first language and they just won't understand it with such a vague point. I understand what you're saying but especially the red highlighted point can get real unclear real fast.

I'll give you an example, we did cargo yesterday... we cleared all the scientists and one guy came aboard wanting to loot after everything was killed already. His expectation was that it is perfectly normal to loot cargo when he had not killed a single scientist. I told him in voice, this isn't how it works and started explaining rules in global chat again for the millionth time that day, you can imagine at this point I am tired of explaining these things to people. Him and a few others insisted that I'm obligated to share loot with them and that I shouldn't be greedy... I mean why should I share if I killed all the scientists, looting is half the fun.

With Bradley or Heli it's easy to see who did how much dmg, you can go console and do combatlog or get an admin to help you but you can imagine there's no actual way to measure who did dmg and who deserves loot with rigs and cargo. For these specific instances (cargo and rigs) there should be an actual rule that says first come first serve, if it's already occupied take the next one... you guys need to come up with a solution that does not result in the regular players getting roasted for explaining rules in chat... This happens so often and you can imagine I don't want to be explaining rules 5000 times a day, this should be written down somewhere in the FAQ that I can link in chat and say "go there and read".

Sorry for the long post again, I'm OCD and I work well with rules, I don't like it when people just take advantage of the absence of admins and will just go off on you using that opportunity when you try to explain to them and I don't want go on a reporting spree every time someone is being disrespectful or breaking the rules, that must get tedious for the admins as well....

Correct.

Hi Aurora,

Thanks, that is great. However, it is not enough. As you are aware Rust has gotten quite a surge of new players due to all of the promoting ongoing on Twitch etc... Great for the money grab, bad for our servers. Unfortunately, I cannot agree that I am thrilled to see so many new players because I feel like the RustEZ servers aren't equipped to handle such a surge of new players in terms of short staff (lack of admin presence) and especially lack of clarity in the rules.

The regular/old players often find themselves debating, explaining and repeating server rules to new people several times a day because we do not have a place we can refer them to where it is listed in an unambigious way and completely closed for interpretation. Added on top of it, not even our admins seem to be all on the same page as to what is considered camping and what is not, this doesn't help either. The rules should be enforced all the same by each and every admin.

I wish we could have a clear list of rules, that leaves no room for random interpretation. I'll give you an example of what I think the rules are and you can see my interpretation might be completely different than what the actual rules are and by all means please correct me so that we can maybe use this thread as a reference for the new playerbase.

So at this link we have "Server Rule:  No camping loot rooms, monuments, or any highly concentrated areas." to me this means the following;

1. Players should not camp concentrated loot areas (LS/Bradley, Oil Rig, Patrol Helicopter, Raidable Bases etc.) So this point is clear enough imo but it could still be improvied to make it completely idiot-proof because people are still (even though spawn of Brad is randomized) camping on top of the ticket booth or the buildings at LS for almost an hour to take him and if someone else comes in on a mini to check out the site, they get chased away because they had been "waiting there first". Results often in drama...

2. If monuments/events such as Oil Rigs, Cargo or raidable bases are ALREADY actively occupied by players, meaning they're already getting done, people should not attempt to join in on that and just wait for the next time it is available again. I cannot explain the amount of times I had to explain rules to someone, when I had already cleared scientists on cargo or rigs and someone just thinks it's perfectly acceptable to come on after and start looting when it's already occupied and the work is done... It's ridiculous! I just had a fight about this on EU Scourge today... Their expectation was that I should share the loot with them even though they did not kill a single scientist.

3. This point and it is heavily open for discussion imo: Bradley and Patrol Helicopter; our admins have a very "hold hands and sing kumbaya" approach to this, saying if others took down heli or brad with you, you should share the loot. As I'm sure you can imagine, this 90% of the time ends up in an argument in chat as to who should loot how many crates. Some people will do like 2% dmg and say "Ok I damaged it, I get a crate now." I personally do not even attempt to touch the heli or bradley if it's already getting done; simply because I don't want to get into this debate and I don't want to share the loot if I did 90% of the dmg... I think it's common sense but most people will lack that and that's why we need clear rules about this too.

Anyways... We didn't need these rules revamped, re-explained or reinforced this badly before because playerbase was pretty much the same for quite a while... But now we do... we have A LOT of new players and it's A PAIN to deal with them...

Sorry... Long ass post, I got nothing else to do in this pandemic. Been working from home-office since March, Rust is my hobby now. Rofl... x'D

 

Yes this is absolute aids... twig should be rid of  if it hasn't been upgraded certain amount of time, it's upkeep should be higher so that decay will kick in sooner, faster and harder!!! People lately been starting to use that shit to grief others too. Servers get laggy af...

And it should definitely be applicable to all, regardless whether player has VIP or not, that's just nonsense.

Heya,

So I do not mind the new way we skin stuff though I must say I miss the old way we did it which gave us the option to preview it in a bigger popup window but I'm already used to the new way now.

One thing I would like to humbly recommend is to bring the option to skin multiple stacks (of same item) rather then having to do it one by one. I don't know if anyone else is bothered by this but yeah it's a bit of a hassle...

Xoxo,

mousie

Yes so I went on my friend's server where we spawned 100 of each of those presents. Medium present gives the Baubels and the Tree lights but to put it light I got only 2 tree lights from 100 medium presents so the drop rate is freaking LOW.... Same goes for Baubels.... Tree topper also comes from medium presents.

The rest drops from the smaller ones and those got good odds since Im sitting on piles of those.

So yeah I wish we could just buy these from the webstore here..............................................

You can but with my luck I keep getting the same ones and I don't think I will complete it before actual Christmas. QQ

It's okay.. I'll walk away now.
