I've been playing rust for a while now, and I have a pretty good grip on the game now.
I had a nice house and so on, but had to go away for a while. Start from scratch again I thought, not a problem.
So today Ive been playing, or at least trying to.
Every game ive played today has gone like this:
Get enough resources to build a shelter. Get shot before getting to place it. Start again.
Every server I've tried, as a naked guy with no stuff, except the few resources ive managed to scrape together, I get shot on sight.
I'm sick of it. I just can't get to the point where I have a bedroll and a shitty shack because everyone shoots me on sight.
Can we please get some sort of newbie protection in place? It must be utterly discouraging to any new starter.
I think part of the problem is, if an area has naff all resources its easier to kill newbies than actually get the resources.
The last death I had I could not find a normal animal. I managed to luck out and get some food on a corpse and gather enough stuff to build a shelter in a out the way place. Someone found me and shot me. Not even a hello, or anything.
I guess I was just a walking resource pile to him.
Today I've tried official and user servers, its the same everywhere, I can't even get enough cloth together to build a bedroll.
I would run away from everyone, but you cant dodge a bullet.
Usually low population servers give you the chance to actually acquire some materials before getting killed, not every server is filled with people that KOS but generally you have to expect that sort of thing from this game. I have been killed numerous times with a lot of resources, I just go and get more.
