Picture a tribe of aboriginals surrounding a hut and fire chanting and dancing, in the center are 3 chests and 3 spikes with players heads on top. If you think you can get the loot alone good luck, you'll be speared down in seconds if they spot you. Working together with others is a must to get the loot. These NPC's go out and gather resources just like you, you may be getting some wood when one spots you and starts chasing you down with his spear. Tribes would be scattered around the map, big and small. Hunters and gatherer NPC's would be roaming around the map. Players would have to work together more often then not to survive and get gear. idk just something I've thought about for a bit, seems like it might fit the rust vibe a bit better then zombies.
What might look like:
-
-
That would just be plain scary, I think I prefer this idea over bandits though as bandits are generic to every game out there in the survival game scene.
These areas could be rich in bamboo to craft blowdarts, spears, bamboo structures. These tribes should also hunt at night carrying a torch so you know there 'general' whereabouts chanting death chants. Would be scary as and it would give night time that extra scariness.
-
I'm not one of those politically correct, granola crunching activists. But I gotta say, this seems a little insensitive. I mean other games have done it but it seems to be in bad taste to cast a primitive tribe as objects to be hunted for loot. Gunning down hapless tribesmen is not my cup of tea.
-
I like the idea of savages in remote parts of the map. I think the whole concept behind RUST is that of an aftermath of a fallout, RUST=decay of metal, falling apart of civilization, survival in the post apocalyptic world. I think that bandits would be okay in post-apocalyptic towns which have not been irradiated.
-
Let's be real; it's not like any tribe-people like this sort are going to be able to get offended, because they don't really have computers, do they?
-
Rust could also be short for "Rustic"
rus·tic
ˈrəstik/Submit
adjective
1.

rural, country, countryside, countrified, pastoral, bucolic; More

-
You hunt for loot in pretty much any game wether it's bandits, animals, Iraqis and Russians in COD games. I don't see why Tribes is so insensitive lol
-
Or it could be RUST as in post apocalyptic which is what the developers said they were going for in the first place. RUST was a dayz clone from the start. I actually think its a good idea to rename it to something like Rustic. Good idea.
-
and they've since said they're moving away from the post apocalyptic setting. They said they started as a dayz clone but the game has since moved in a different direction. They've already confirmed they're removing zombies. Only a matter of time before the towns and radiation are out too. Rust still works for the game title even in a primitive setting.
-
I'm almost sure they wont remove raid able/ loot able towns otherwise you would never come across blueprints and general loot.
-
did you see what they are replacing the zombies with? they are certainly going to be harder to hit with a bow!
-
I haven't, care to link it?
-
That is kinda Cool, but I don't know what would that guys be doing after like year 2020 in the cities and so on...
That guys live far worse in technology than man even before Christ were born (Greece was already a kinda modern city back then).
Keep Cool
-
I'd like to see a replacement mob that groups together, builds, farms like a human player (though that kind of AI would create wayyy too many exploitable bugs).
Doesn't have to be an aboriginal tribe, though. It could just be a group of near-nekkids, driven mad by the cold/hunger/violence/etc. Like the Reavers from Firefly.
-
Well they added it for next version https://trello.com/c/aPg2Nwj3/130-remove-zombies a few minutes ago and some other things that will change gameplay a little.
-
Also added some type of AI? Or that's probably like bears and stuff?

replacement concepts for zombies.
-
Looks like pigs, deers and chickens will be chased by bears and wolfs now plus they will run when hearing gunshoots, idk if the zombies replacements will attack the other AI too.
-
This would be amazing.
Edited:
Very awesome idea.
-
Look at the "things" from "The Forest" (Survival Game)...
Thats an Awesome idea !!! :)
-
I agree. Facepunch should make their own thing instead of going for the typical "savage natives" route like in some survival games.
-
Here are some more ideas of what the tribes might look like, if they decided to go this rout for zombie replacements. These are taken from the game "From Dust".
-
Best zombie replacement suggestion so far!
-
people act this way already... at least i do
/dances round the campfire
"mm bap bap mmmmmmmm bap bap"
-
They would still be copying another game. There's already a game like Rust and IMO is way more advanced. It's a open world survival horror game, build, harvest, day/night cycle, caves, underground lakes, plant seeds to grow food, stealth and a tribe of cannibals.
-
I agreed this post without thinking when I saw it:
LOL
-
I would argue how come every player seems to grasp idea of making, houses, furnaces, hatchets pickaxes and lets not forget firearms while NPC's are from culture that recently discovers fire... ?
And from cultural standpoint at least to me seems kind of offensive having to go around shooting up bare-buck native and taking their stuff... oh wait - won't this be repeating history ?
-
The game your thinking of isn't a massive multiplayer game. It's offline and co op only I believe.
-
People keep bringing up cultural offense and all that stuff...
Think of call of duty where you kill russians/nazi's/africans, no one thinks they're racist or anything.
The tribes thing isn't any different.
Edited:
Also, totally unrelated but From Dust is a pretty sweet game for anyone who hasn't played it...
-
Some more ideas:
If a lone native gets attacked, he can call for backup using a whistle/call or something. So big groups of Kevlars don't automatically == a win.
Natives can break down wooden doors if needed. If you attack a native and run into your shack, he might come back with a "tank" native to help break down your door.
They are super sneaky, love bushes, love nighttime and love to ambush players with their spears whenever possible.
They use poison darts sometimes, you could be chomping on a wood node when you hear the dart sound. You take few small damage and your screen starts turning purple/red before you pass out for a few seconds. Afterwards you lose a few damage every few seconds for a period of time.
and more inspirational images:
-- If anyone else has any ideas/input on this, please feel free to add to the discussion.
-
Sounds good, as long as I can play on the same side as the natives...
-
The idea isnt bad but i think it doesnt match in the game setting, in a post apocalyptical world u see more bandits than natives :D hope u understood becauseim not an eng grammarguerillia

Yes, this is a great idea. Indigenous non-white population hunted down and murdered by white interlopers for resources and sport!

This isn't going to happen. It would be cool and frightening for sure, but there's a reason why movies have German terrorists (Die Hard), Columbian terrorists (Collateral Damage), and so on. To avoid controversy and negative press associated with "stereotyping" a race or culture. I think if you were to get a tribe in Rust, that it would be a tribe made up of many different ethnicities. Most likely a tribe of survivors who have gone almost feral with rage due to radiation sickness. Aboriginal tribesman, I don't think will ever be a reality outside of modding.
Edited:
No it's not any different. You're not the one making that decision though, and unfortunately where race relations are concerned, cooler heads almost never prevail.
-
It could be made mutant tribesmen. A tribe of mutants, who have the basic resemblance to humans but also look different enough.
Like mutants in KKND series. Or mutants you can see in Forest (through those that resemble humans there, by the way, look almost like some native tribesmen).
-
It will look a bit too much like the game The Forest
-
Farcry 4 :D
-
not bad
-
Guys, come on. Only killing white people is acceptable. Anything else is offensive.
-
garry has said that he does not want a bipedal humanoid AI threat as a replacement for zombies.
-
No its not that. It's that it's a bunch of bald white guys vs a bunch of half-naked black guys. That's all anyone who would be offended is going to see or care about. While you're dealing with fantasy, I am at least living in reality. Wishing the world were different won't make it so and just because it's a reality you don't like, doesn't mean it isn't reality. For the record, I don't have any problem with any replacement of Zombies, but I'm hoping for alien space Nazis. Nah, I really don't care what they do. Cheers.Guys, come on. Only killing white people is acceptable. Anything else is offensive.
