Rust - multiplayer survival from the creator of Garry's Mod

DayZ is much more about realism and could be considered a survival simulator, far more detailed/complex game in terms of controls, map, actions etc

Nether is more of an arcade type FPS, not really so much survival, just a brutal player v player v mutant thing where you level up and have skill trees.

rust is more about fun IMO, simple to understand and get to grips with, evolving map due to player buildings and plays soother than DayZ

If you like building stuff try rust, if you want realism try DayZ
 
I already play DayZ and Nether, just wondered what the fuss was all about regarding Rust :D

Sounds, like you say, like a fun alternative for when I get tired of the others, and the building intrigues me :)
 
start on the ocuk or a server with just 1 or 2 peeps on to get a hang of it cos the official servers are very unforgiving!!!! oh and laggy

rust is like minecraft in the source engine without being able to alter the terrain. (not sure if it uses the source engine or not but its what the game reminds me off)
 
The server is lagging really badly right now, some pretty nasty rubber banding going on, it's unplayable at the moment.

Edit: It's fine now.

Damn cheese eating surrender monkeys!


Also, does anyone else find it hard to get back into Rust after you have spent >10 hours building a base, collecting resources and weapons, to then go back a day later and literally every single bit of the base is gone. Not just looted, but every single item placed (spike walls, wooden shelters, houses, furnaces, campfires etc) is gone (possibly server was wiped, but the guys on there said it hadn't and that people were just looting everything - this wasn't on the HG server btw).

Then when I spawned with just the starter gear, I began mining my first wood pile. Straight after I was done, some idiot came up to me with an M4 and started shouting down his mic 'HOW MUCH WOOD YOU GOT? GIVE ME UR WOOD' (to which I responded via chat: GIGGITY. And then he killed me :().

Sometimes I wish this game had an offline/LAN mode. Sure, it's nice being able to kill everyone on sight when you have the gear, but working your way back up from the bottom after having it all is so damn tedious.

I'm sad that all our stuff is gone :mad: It sucks massively that there isn't some level of persistence outside of the server you're on to help you along if you have to start from scratch again!

+1 for Offline/ LAN mode or else finding some way of making your stuff thief proof!

Yep :D Not one of my proudest in-game moments.

I made up for it though. I found my way into someone's (seemingly) impenetrable fortress of wooden spike walls and up their tower. I then proceeded to loot about 2000 coal from their storage containers. Mwahahahaha that'll learn 'em!!!

But yes, it seems every server that starts out nice and friendly will just be reduced to anarchy one there are ~30 players there. Almost makes me want to buy my own private server..
 
Decent patch today! I like the new gun, exploit fixes and window bars.. :)


Server needs an update though Madeddie, I haven't been able to work out how its done.

We’ve got a patch for you that contains a tonne of fixes but also some new content for you to enjoy, check out the change list :

fixed open door hack
fixed noclipping
added revolver – default blueprint
removed 9mm pistol as a default blueprint
added metal bars you can put in windows
quality slider has much more of a significant impact on performance (needs work, maybe tomorrow)
disabled cursor hack for linux, which should hopefully fix crazy cursor issues.
server -datadir is now used for config files. Server owners should move their cfg folder inside.
-datadir default is now “serverdata/”. If not using -datadir previously, server owners should move their saves into the new folder.
added server rcon, runs on queryport and uses the same protocol as source servers
console now reports an error when command isn’t found
console variables now show their values when typed into the console
changing a console variable will now print the change
‘ban’ now accepts a second optional argument, reason
‘banid’ now accepts <username> <argument>
‘status’ now shows the connected players
‘banlist’ shows all banned users
‘banlistex’ shows all banned users, with names and reasons
‘removeid’ unbans a user by steamid
‘say’ allows the server admin to talk to all connected clients
research kit no longer requires paper
research kit has a random amount of uses (1-3)
shelters now use a single mesh instead of compound colliders
made explosives require metal to craft
improved pipe shotgun sound
lowered shadow distance to a realistic level, should help with jittery shadows
weapon sounds are slightly randomized so each shot isn’t identical to the last
stopped looting through walls
adjusted clock sycronization
fix attempt to ghosting
servers start up faster
pipe shotgun now visibly ejects a shell on reload
bolt action bullets are visible during reload
fixed bug where respawning frequently could cause you to get stuck and have to reconnect due to invisible respawn screen.
bruteforce rcon guessing is punished


Known issues :

Laser sight and flashlight have incorrect angles on the Bolt Action Rifle, and the Revolver


In Addition we’re wiping all official servers to get rid of all the duped items now that we’ve fixed that issue
