RUSTMAS WIPE is here!

That's right; the one wipe of the whole year where those annoying stocking you unwrap in large presents will not be completely useless. Remember to hang them on the wall and not a fireplace so Red Scientist can fill them when the Rustmas event rolls out later this wipe.

For anyone who may not know, they have a certain amount of times they can be filled before the disappear. You can circumvent that by smacking them with a salvaged hammer and then re-placing them. Just be careful to not smack the wall they are on.

yes please also would like more than 1 for they still being camped

Really? People really want those lights I guess. 

Common complaint on Scourge is the garrisons being boring. Maybe make a contest to design a couple new ones?

And new Garrison.

They could make that into one of their build contests. 

Neither here nor there but that particular player... 

I never saw anything about zombie pop being lowered recently. They tend to swarm excavator more than anywhere else I've noticed.

I know the impact would be drastic, but I've been wondering if removing teleportation and having /backpack drop on death might be an overall positive impact for gameplay. Force people to make use of all the various transport options we now have (trains, horses, cars/taxi etc)

The outcry would be tremendous. Teleporting is amazing and all but does take a lot away from the game. Adding to that, take away the revive as well.

New Garisson should also be made, I could do this one with my eyes closed and I did ti like 4 times maybe.

I mostly play on a server now with 5 different difficulties of garrisons/raids which has over 40 designs between the 5. Neat thing is that players can make a raid and if it meets the design qualifications, it get's added to the rotation.

The problem with the one on Scourge is it's to simple and not worth resources. But I understand why it was nerfed too and I was on the wagon pushing for said nerf because of how lucrative it was. Needs to me be more designs, bigger, more tiers.

I think Death runs a different plugin than the one on the other serve so no idea how it runs or if it's even possible.

Sorry, but adding few more zombies and NPC's wouldn't make it that more difficult.

 

Here are some of my ideas - 

1. Make zombies more diverse and / or increase population. 

- I know that zombies were nerfed due to issues, but i was kind of hoping that would get fixed because they are dumb as hell now. Moreover, more stuff should be added, like we had with the Halloween event - bomb throwing zombies 

- Population definitely needs to be increased - where are the hordes? 

2. Maybe add few NPC-s to some monuments, number depending on what tier monument it is (like how it is on Airfield and Train Yard) 

3. Armor should loose it's hp like guns do. There would be more use for leather. You would actually need to hunt for animals to craft armor. Armor shops selling would be a thing.

4. Spawn in server first time nakkid with a rock and a torch only. 

5. Longer nights (that is controversial a bit, but I would like it a lot) - more zombies/zombie hordes at nights, wolfs also. 

6. Put launch site in snow area entirely. I believe that I don't need to explain reasoning behind that idea. 

7. Ability to call in Bradley distress signal (tied to launch site area ofc) 

8. I'm not sure if that is even possible, but if you could add poker table (from bandit/underwater labs) to the RustEZ store that would be awesome 

9. Add possibility to /home to admin built monuments (EU Scourge for example has Community Center) 

10. I know that vodka bottle was added with missions, so if something could be made with that, for example with each sip there is a chance you could get hydrated / puke / heal / radiated

Poll would be nice for any changes that would affect everyone.

More of any NPC absolutely ups the difficulty. That's just math. Good for some. Bad for others. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. Mentioned this but at some point the zombie pop was lowered forever ago. Not sure why.

Don't really have anything to add to 1,2, that I didn't already mention. RustEZ is meant to be easy. Can't change it to much.

3. Agreed. Add more to the economy as a whole.

4. Agreed.

5. You nailed it. A lot of people would be very upset if night were longer.

6. Would not stop camping at all if that's what you're getting at. They would just go in with cold gear.

7. It was mentioned that was on the to do list at some point. I'd add that cooldown be put on the player/team before they can kill it again. 

8. $5 or something. Bet they would sell pretty well.

9. /home is on the backend so not sure how that would be doable every wipe to a brand new building. Maybe a hotel like building with rooms with beds that people could claim and lock up nearby? 

10. Molotov cocktail... Recipe - Bottle, LGF, Cloth. Throw it and watch things burn. 

Again, I'm all for more difficulty which is why I don't play here much but I also understand that they may not want to alter the servers so much.

I'll just say this in general. EZ is in the name. Not everyone here is cut out for higher difficulty. More mobs means more chance at death. There are other servers for that. Couple specifics.

The record shot thing broke some time ago and Death mentioned he has plans to make his own vs using the plugin that broke. I want to say it was not up to date anymore?

I don't recall the reason but there used to be more zombies. Server stability maybe? Or it was to much for some people? 

The rest goes back to that you can't make a server that's meant to be easy into something more difficult without people complaining or leaving. I love your ideas personally, but it's just one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of things.

"Define wipe" ran on all the servers for years – it was removed earlier this year because people were using it to spam chat. Wipe is not the same date & time for all the regions we have servers, so the define was a bit lengthier than most and perfect for trolls to spam global chat (we can't have nice things).  

Will see if @Death can do a replacement of sorts for this though. Thanks for the feedback!

Ah yeah... forgot about that. I know it's possible to make it pop up just for the player who puts it in. So player asks about what, another player tells him the command.

First Thursday of every month only works for US servers. For AU it is the Friday morning after the first Thursday of the month. So to implement this Death would have to create multiple defines if that is possible.

It is possible but unnecessary. Could be worded to reflect multiple timezones. 

Mentioned this forever ago. Seconded.

Items in the store unfortunately.

Fix the damn rules and penalties...

Server & Region: EU Scourge

As somewhat mentioned above, I originally played on US Pure, left RustEZ for awhile and migrated back, but to EU Scourge in April of this year. First ran into them at the Easter event which was all new to me and they were kind enough to show me how to do it and gave me some of the extra Easter event stuff. We've shared our knowledge with each other, helped each other out, traded, etc. Since then, I've been in regular contact with them on and off the game and am glad to call them friends.

Server & Region:  US Pure/EU Scourge

US Pure was my first server in November of last year. No one helped me more than the admins. No one gave me anything but if I had questions, they had answers. Anytime I needed help, one of them was around. Didn't even know how to mine a rock until Amsullivan showed me. North and Carpe helped me with my building and electrical as well as a good understanding of the rules. Even though I left their on somewhat bad terms, they had a big hand in helping me understand the game.

EU Scourge is my go to on RustEZ these days if I am not on another server. I first ran into Cartmon before he was an admin. Saw him at a garrison and I asked if I could watch. He taught me how to do them the most efficient way possible. He taught me various other tips and tricks through my time there that formed my current playstyle. Jamesy, while we don't/haven't always seen eye to eye, he's just been an all around good person to talk to. 

There are various other staff that I could mention but these 5 have been by far the most influential to me in my time on RustEZ and for better or worse, have formed the type of player I am today.

Off topic but his forum name desperately needs changed...

Seems to be 1 in every brad crate as well. Just as annoying.

no its still very slow

Intended. Last wipe, Facepunch fucked up a decimal which caused horses to poop obscenely fast. Death put his own fix in for that at the time. This wipe, https://rust.facepunch.com/changes "Reduced horse dung". 

Pretty sure FP just fixed their fuckup from last wipe to be more normal. Along with anything Death might have done.

Purged bases rapidly decay. Just have to be on the lookout for them and loot them as it happens.

Gross...

Not even so much "in depth" as some things just need to be added/amended. There is definitely confusion over some things. I've seen it. But it's whatever. Leaderships go to response is "it's fine" and "that's what admins are for". Severely resistant to change. Old adage, if it aint broke, don't fix it... Just because it's not broke, doesn't mean it can't be better. 

But I do agree, change, don't change, not gonna make everyone happy either way.

Only thing I don't like about the glass door skins is the locks look awful on them.
