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

so bought and popped my Rust cherry last night. gotta say..... pretty damn impressed so far!!! granted I did pretty much FA on my first time on but was good. jumped on a mate... spent the first 15-20 mins wandering along the road with a map open on the second screen to figure out where I was.

thought I saw a bore so went to go kill it (it was getting dark)....turns out it was a bear.... RUNN!!! so I did... :p still running and then 3 bears and a wolf also join in the chase...literally came out of the ****ing trees mannnn!!! managed to lose them after running and then scaling some rocks. met my mate, we(he) built a little shack so we had a sleeping point, made a bow, some arrows.

went on a little hunt... I LOVE THE BOW!!!! omg it's so much fun and makes you feel like a boss!!!! reminds me a lot of hunting like in farcry 3 ;) was downing bears like a boss! one shot to get the attention...then waiting till they are within spitting distance and a final arrow to the dome bringing them to a heap at your feet :D easy harvest ;)

we then got shot by dudes with a shotgun but my mate took one of them out but we both died :p luckily had out sleeping bags on the hill just up the road, got some more resources then made the typical brokeback mountain comments as we sat in our hut by firelight before logging off :p

thought it was going to look rubbish but looks pretty decent graphically to be fair, bit clunky on some animations but that's hardly a killer ;)

I don't like how "jittery" players can be though....I'm sure I should have hit the shotgun dude, he was about 4ft from me and I fired my arrow at his torso but apparently I completely missed as it looked like he teleported a few ft to the side. did notice when watching others run that they can "warp" sometimes :( which sucks! oh well

let's see what tonight brings ;)

Lag is a big problem with the game at the moment. It can be very frustrating when hunting; the wolf/bear seems to be standing still, then a second later it has teleported straight to you, and has already inflicted enough damage to kill you.

And watching other players move, you can see how glitchy it is. I've been kicked from the server a number of times because I have opened the door to my shack, and it has pushed my player outside of the shack, but I'm still half inside!
 
ahhh well :p hopefully it will get ironed out :) but can just see it adding to the hilarity and panic when going rock to rock with someone xD

quite like there's no external/3rd person view, really did make me panic when running. think in dayz because you can go external view is a bit of a safety blanket for players. numerous times last night I almost jumped off cliffs because i was walking and didn't realise how close I was to the edge because i was looking up xD ...wish I had the zoom look though to help look at things ;)
 
cocky's server is up and running again with no lag anymore :)

having a tonne of fun on it now that i got to know a few people there too!
no more random killings like my first few days on the server haha.

highly recommend you guys get back on it :D
 
I came back after a few days to find I'd been killed and when I got back to my base that a wall was missing and all my stuff looted but other than that it's been fun on cocky's new server.
 
Which of the servers on the 1st page would you guys recommend? I see Cocky's mentioned a lot. Is there a decent community size?

Been playing on The Egg Basket (Jackfrags n co's) server but they are wiping so looking for a fresh start on another decent server.

Still getting the hang of the gun play. Must stop thinking its BF.
