This fucking game is so unforgiving. If you step out of line even a little bit, you'll get burned.
That's what makes it so enjoyable though.
If you've got the wealth in Rust invest it into your base or weapons instantly. Think of it like you are floating in recourses in an rts, don't keep it there unless you really have to, otherwise you'll get raided and loose it all. Rather if you are raided with it invested into the base you'll at least be able to fix it up and keep going, assuming they didn't grief you.
I'm constantly doing this, but I accrue way too much from killing other people.
I normally divvy it all up into other bases, but I decided to not listen to my brain as I hadn't been raided on other servers in weeks.
That's some solid advice though.
I've played Rust since day one with old Gaz, and the game never gets any easier. Especially when you play on a server where there's 300-400 players on a day. And majoirty of them are neets who can play all hours every day. My team is 4 people at most when I really try to get people on. There's a lot of flaws with Rust, but one of the main reasons I keep coming back is because it's so addictive to risk it all.
I understand what you mean though, If you haven't been raided you get into a mentality where you don't think you'll be raided until you randomly do. I try to get into the headspace of when I'm playing Rust anything can happen. I used to keep all of my guns in my base for some stupid reason and I'd then get bored of the game, I then realised you need to cash in and run around killing people to have fun, WAAAY tooooo many people sit inside the base they own and don't do anything, that's where the game traps you, your base should be nothing but a storage or something to use for cover.
This game is pointless alone, you are either in a big enough team of no-lifing tards to keep your base defended or you can hide your shit in 40 different hidden bags.
In the end theres no point, you grind a lot so you can raid others, or you just go around trying to kill others whie they are doing the above.
That's exactly why I live like a wild animal in comparison to most people.
It's absurd to worry about honey combing and pouring HOURS into stoning everything out just so you can look pretty for a big clan to come and rocket you.
I find that having a base nearby with weapons away from your primary/a sniper tower works wonders.
I've driven off clans of 3-4 people by having a good gun at the ready.
I get where you are coming from, but people always look at Rust in an A to B type way, not what's in the middle of the adventure, yes sure most people will get fucked by the bigger clan at some point and you'll probably get raided, but so did the big boys in this game eventually. If you're having fun bowing people down in the meantime I think that's where this game is golden.
I haven't tried having a secondary base, I've always thought of having one as maybe a 50/50 chance of not having my main one raided, but I know what you mean by having a gun at the ready. Nothing sweeter to waking up on the roof with a gun in the crate to headshoot some charlies. I think the big thing Gaz should look into is how much wood/stone you get per hit from your tools, if you did that then the NEETS and the WORKING would all have a chance because the game would flow a lot faster, lets say that everyone got a bunch of resources in 1-3 hours then we'd all be able to have a base and make some sort of weapons to fight one another, without having to worry about offline raiding. I understand that a lot of people enjoy the grind though.
>If you're having fun bowing people down in the meantime I think that's where this game is golden.
Imbalanced pointless pvp.
I think that is not fun once you stop having the mentality of a child.
>fresh wipe day
>join high pop server
>all those naked fighting with rocks each other at the beach
>gettin chased by a naked over half the map with nothing in my inventory but a stone
>killin some semi geared player as naked with a bow

first 2-3 hours into a fresh wiped server is the best.
>wooo naked people fighting so funneh
>wooo easy loot
>wooo killing someone from an advantaged position
>wooo griefing

>Imbalanced pointless pvp.
Sorry, where's the imbalance here? You can kill a fully kitted guy with 2 spears to the head, or a damn bow. The shittest cuck that just spawned can fucking kill you with full gear. This happens all the time. If you aren't carefull even as the guy with the gun you can still die.
>Wipe day
>Constantly dying near coast
>Finally get off coast and build in middle of nowhere
>Get resources
>Get semi
>Go back to beach for revenge
I feel like a douchebag but someone has to put these fags in their place
Can I play Rust on my toaster?
Maybe.
>Imbalanced
>So it's bad
That's wrong though.
There's nothing more satisfying than murdering some guy with a crossbow or shitty revolver while he has a semi-automatic rifle, etc.
It's really a game of thought more than anything else.
I've won so many encounters by having patience, etc.
You're simply deriding this game because you can't derive immediate satisfaction from it.
Well yes, I'm not a child with unlimited freetime to camp house doors or farm endlessly.
>uhh its so satisfying when I kill someone without them getting to fight back
The hardest fucking part of this game is getting a damn furnace up and running, going from there the game is smooth sailing.

Keep saying child please.
Its not like you could deny it.
Its not like you could prove it.
It doesn't really take a load of free time to play Rust. I play for about an hour or two a day, and I enjoy it a lot on the weekends. It's the only game I choose.
If you're a full fledged adult with kids and everything, you probably shouldn't be playing video games in the first place.
I don't need to since you did it for me in the above posts, describing the very behavior only children enjoy, and the ultimate giddy joy of getting the drop of someone, spending more time than them on the game, and the ultimate hilarity of killing/fighting as naked people.
>If you're a full fledged adult with kids and everything, you probably shouldn't be playing video games in the first place.
Another thing only kids say.
>If you've got kids you shouldn't be play video games
That's true though.
That's valuable time you could commit to their development, etc.
I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I played video games instead of attending to the people I brought into this world.

Please leave this thread, you are shitting it up. Be an adult and walk away.
