I don't want to throw out haccusations -- But I'm just going to say it.

SG - Nipro, and the other guy from his clan, are scoring 100% headshots from insane ranges.

Both of them come around corners already pre-aimed like they know people are there. We got shot up a few times by them today, all ten people that died 100% headshots, some from extreme ranges. He comes around the corner, already aiming down and shooting. Both of them do it, I just can't remember the name of the other guy, starts with an S I think. This guy made a 400m headshot on a moving target at a raised position. He headshot him twice in the row, first was a wound because kevlar, second was instant headshot kill. He then headshot two more guys coming up the tower. These guys both play with Zyxel as well.

Furthermore, we're at our base for around 20 hours today, the ONE time in the day when we're not there (there are 9 of us that live there I'm talking, the ONE time today that not one of us is there), these same guys magically show up, loot everything out of our tower, and then disappear again. While they're doing this, Nitro magically appears from across the map and headshots all of us, when we're probably 4KM away.

I'm 100% a believer in coincidence, or luck but this is too much. Unaffiliated goons can probably corroborate what I'm saying.

This is all on The Goonion server.

poo poo man I told you that the base was not secure. Goddamn I spent like 2 hours crafting poo poo yesterday and now it's all gone?

Cool, used the console.

I ran around like a crazy person, found an open shack up in the mountains and stole everything. Then I came upon a fortress looking thing and some dude one-shoted me from within.

Respawned in the dark and ran around with the torch. The moment I saw a zombie, the torch ran out and left me in the dark.

How do I hook up with my Goonion brethren? I know there's no map, so how do I navigate?

Goontown gets raided hourly. Don't come to goon town. Your best bet is to get some people together and form your own goonclave and trust no one.

E: Also, yes this game is really easy to hack and there are likely lots of them. At this point it's to be expected for this type of game and there is no way to defend yourself from it without hyper vigilant admins (which goon servers never have)

Yeah it was an interesting weakness exploit, I didn't know up until right then you could stack stairs on pillars without a foundation. I think my pride was hurt more than the stuff stolen, I still want craft the absolutely perfect base. :P

This game does really well at minimising rubberbanding and such so it's perfectly playable if you want to PvE and build. A ping like that will severely disadvantage you in PvP though. The moment you encounter a hostile who has even as much as half that ping, you're gonna find yourself dead even though you swore you shot the guy several times at point blank. That gets frustrating REALLY fast in a game like this.

At least, that was my experience with similar ping. Since I've relocated to a server with 50 - 70ms I've had a much better time.

I don't know about you, but I notice pretty gnarly warping when more than a handful of players are near each other, especially travelling. I'm pretty sure it's netcode as my ping is pretty low and I run the game on max without dropping frames.

THis is actually not entirely true. Hit detection is entirely clientside and this is little to no prediction/network smoothing going on so having lag could both disadvantage and advantage him

Also Cidrick, a bunch of goons moved to new goonton. Not everyone should go there though. Also are we allied with cs:go goons?

GoonTown is getting raided because its an easy target. That's all. Make your poo poo secure and you wont get raided, or if you do, you'll have fooled the raiders pretty good unless your the kind of guy who stockpiles 10s of thousands of gunpowder or stupid poo poo like c4.

If you have 5 metal doors, that 10 c4. Thats 3000 Gunpowder, 1 flares, a pile of sulfur and a pile of fuel. You need to get a shitload of loot out of that raid to justify it.

Guns and kevlar dont mean poo poo, because metal is plentiful. I crafted about a third of what I had in stocked metal yesterday and made about 20 gun fully modded and 5 full sets of kevlar.

Hey, for all you poor lost souls out there, maps are available for the currently inhabited regions. They've been out for a while on the Rust Wiki.

NewMap by Kronix:

The road and Radtowns are easy landmarks to pick out on the Brandy92 map, the NewMap has some unofficial names for regions. The best part are the coordinates, learn em, use em, love em.

Picked this game up the other day and it's definitely fun/worth 20$. I currently play on the Goonion, and it's nice to see so many developed bases and players running around already. I'm a bit saddened that there's currently no log-out timer, since the current "no sleepers" setting seems to take a bit of the fun out of it. Other than that I have very few complaints about the direction the game is moving in, and I hope it continues to improve over time.

My in-game name is nephyx, sorry in advance for shooting at you.

We CSGO westie goons had a great time raiding Goontown on Sunday. 7 of us stormed the base, blew up one of the base tower doors and then just began killing everything in sight. Soon other camp members started coming by and yelling "WHO IS IN HERE??" and "DO YOU LIVE HERE??" followed by shotgun blasts to the face. Sorry if we took all your stuff, but that was way too enjoyable.

So what are the chances of some group making an arena/coliseum type deal near the hangars? Lure a crapload of animals into a holding pen, then have people fight them (and each other!) to the death with hatchets. Also free food for the first 20 spectators. :hist101:

Throwing nades into the arena during a fight would be frowned upon.

edit: Also setting up barricades in the arena floor and having people duke it out STALKER arena style would own. Public matches, place your bets people.

You can skip the stone hatchet and go straight to metal if you have the materials for it. Of course on high population servers simply FINDING enough nodes that haven't been harvested yet is hard sometimes. Once the devs start making the rest of the map spawn nodes instead of in a few select areas it'll probably be a lot easier, since people can spread out more instead of clustering around the coastline and road regions.

1stGear posted:

Foul lies and trickery from the game I guess. Metal hatchets are the best tool overall since they harvest everything quickly. Pickaxes work well on rocks, slow but okay on wood, and are garbage on animals.

I just had my first experience with Rust.

First death: jumping into the ocean (I guess cavemen can't swim)
Second and third deaths: wild animal/zombie hugs
Last death: two guys with guns come up to me, one of them yelling "Dude, dude, I need some food, can you give me some food!", while I try to bash down the door of some asshat that stole a bunch of stuff from me. Before I can make a hasty escape I am shotgunned upon.

Definitely gonna play this more.
