Zombies were removed for their own reasons. I felt like there was some kind of foreshadowing going on with the message that they were removed, but mayhaps not. If there are dinosaurs roaming around, the game would essentially be Turok, the MMO. Or maybe Jurassic Park the MMO. It would be hilarious and funny and would fit completely, but I really don't feel like it's what Rust is about. Especially not with the radiation pockets. Something happened here. Something big, and something ominous. It wouldn't have been aliens, or war. They probably would have left at least a few bodies lying around. Experimentation? Well, that fits. Especially if you include a bunker or two. Maybe a science lab somewhere up north. Radiation doesn't make zombies though. It makes mutants. The towns need to be full of Fallout style Ghouls. The fuck-your-face kind of ghouls, that know that the towns are THEIR territory and YOU don't belong there. They have guns. They might be cheap guns, or in terrible states of repair, but they have them, and if they see you in their homestead, they're shoving them in one of your holes and pulling the trigger.
This would allow for a couple of things. One, there to be areas of REAL (non-player) threat in the game. Areas where teamwork is recommended. Two, it would allow for the loot crates in those areas to be rebalanced to accommodate. Three, we could have zombie/mutant/militaryTHINGS ANDDDDD dinosaurs. Everyone wins. Inside of towns you get killed, outside of towns you get eaten. It's perfect.

military... been done dinosaurs its been done as well but who the hell do you know??? who has done Giants! in there game???
-
I heard about this thread in game, & all I had seen was the word dinosaurs. Can you imagine, gathering a wood pile & seeing a kid across the field in full Kevlar shouting, & then hearing the roar of a T-Rex off in the distance? This is that kind of gameplay that can turn the tables on any server, to keep balance you have to have challenges in game that require players banding together at the most random times to take on these feats. Instead of wolves why not Velociraptors? Just imagine, seriously. Rust feels like that type of game, maybe the radiation allows the bones of these ancient creatures to animate & the longer they're alive, the bigger, & more flesh-full they get. Who knows.
Rust at this point can literally go anywhere, I just really don't want to see it take a traditional path, this game FEELS unique, it FEELS like I'm actually playing an alpha & that the developers have a really good idea on where the game is going and you know where that is?
Where the players want it to go.
Dinosaurs all day.
-
Mutants !!
Look at him he is so beatiful vote for him.
Here for the guys who want to play with dinosaurs (Rust is not the right game for you.)
-
If you puts robots and alien for me that couldn't fit with main idea of rust.
The purpose of this game is to survive with basic things. Like if humanity have to begin again, making fire too cook, shelter with wood, hunting with cheap bow...
Realistic mean for me a way to think that could be possible.
Current Rust's context have to be changed to fit with advenced technology like robots or aliens etc( crafting a robot with a furnace and a workbench?)
unique.?
-
yes yes yes yes yes yes and more yes, fucking phenomenal words. I couldn't say it better myself. Pleaseeeeeeeee god do dinosaurs, I will legitimately give up on this game if it follows any other route, because then it's just sticking to tradition. Listen to the players! We want dinosaurs, & we want them eating our faces!
Edited:
Dinosaurs could legitimately make so much sense. Aren't we as we speak trying to clone dinosaurs? Trying to recreate history? Seriously it could make so much sense, Rust at its core is because of a mistake WE made, experimenting on things that should have STAYED in the past, & now we're paying the ultimate prices. We must survive.
No longer do we sit in our comfortable homes, always having too much of everything, never knowing what it's really like to survive. Rust can be THAT game. Running through jungles from velociraptors, becoming the hunter OF the hunters! Never have I played I game that made me feel SO immersed, just imagine being that same feeling being in two different worlds that were never meant to collide. & all because we went too far, we messed with technology & brought back creatures whom have always been at the top of the food chain, & mash dinosaurs with humans who have developed technology in order to survive.
Have the fresh spawns, spawn places where there are resources but in order to progress through eras of technology, they have to keep moving, avoiding packs, herds, lone tyrannosaurus's ffs. You have the ability to make the map/s massive. Make it so if you aren't fit up well enough, you can't survive in certain areas, make it so if people go out in groups, dinosaurs come in packs!
It's freaking brilliant, I would pay hundreds & hundreds of dollars to play a game like this.
Listen to the players and make dinosaurs happen!
-
Dinosaurs!
Look, extended caveman nudity and giant reptiles! Vote for dinosaurs!
Here for the guys who want to play with mutants (Rust is not the right game for you.)
See? This behaviour is stupid.
(That being said, I still stick with radiated/grotesque nature)
-
If we seriously end up with another game full of zombies, mutants, aliens etc. then rust is ruined for me.
-
"if it's a game with anything rust is ruined for me"
-
It would be the best if there would be different NPC-s at night and day
let's say at day there's military and at night some dinosaurs or something :D
-
Why not making addon for rust servers ?
everyone will be happy to choose to play on a Dinosaurs server or a mutants server...
-
Why not multiple replacement ? Like dinos in the wild, open spaces and millitary in radtowns. And you can have both fight each-other etc
-
I actually can't believe nobody has suggested this, but overgrown mutant plants that gas you, or spike you, or tentacle you would be interesting. Pretty much anything to go with the post apocalyptic radioactive world setting works.
Any sort of mutated people, animals, plants or maybe just strange radioactive phenomenon would work. Like fires or lightning strikes.
The weird sky bug that happens at night actually looks awesome like some sort of weird radioactive storm. I think they should be more innovative than just picking any generic enemy like zombies, dinosaurs or military.
What about weird clouds of poisonous gas that drift around and perhaps areas of lightning strikes, acid rain and perhaps violent hail storms. All these things can compliment the armour system and perhaps use resists or require more specialist armour in order to enter these areas just like rad zones, but more variation. These could maybe be put on the outside zones of the map that are currently very barren and unused on a lot of servers.
I think Mutant Animals is a really good idea that has already been implemented. And we just need some more variation on the mobs themselves. They also shouldn't be bright red, but should be grim and dirty looking mutants.
And perhaps a native bunch of aggressive tribal cave dwellers or something would be interesting that roam about with axes or something.
Blueprints should only be collectable through salvaging radioactive scrap piles with phenomenon or tribesmen around them. I personally think that would be more appropriate for this game.
-
I'll vote Dinosaurs, just because I don't want military to win. There are too many military games out there, it's getting old.
-
But their is a ******* dinosaur game coming out next month called "The Stomping Grounds". It'll be this dinosaur game vs that dinosaur game. No for peets sake, rust should be rust and the stomping grounds can be dinosaurs.
-
Dinos. Really? I honestly thought better of this community but if that's the road we're going then all aboard the alpha train.
-
This poll does nothing but show how.incredibly retarded most people who play games are, and why they should definitely never be listened to ever.
Most of the suggestions here would completely wreck the game. People are retards.
-
Dinosaurs make 0 sense...how will u connect them to radiation? Did they come back from dead thanks to radiation? Or will u remove radition....?
-
Garry let it upon us to seal the vote, people who want Dinosaurs, brilliant ideas, Millitary, special areas, special hunting grounds, special places for special things, set in the pre-historic era, why not add a bunch of shit to it? Why not add meteor storms to mine for special ore, and take shelter, why not add fucking lions and zebras? We don't even know where the fuck we are? Make your own shit up Garry. We believe in you.
-
There should be 1 badass T-rex who roams the map, he has shit loads of hp, moves alot faster than players can run at full speed , and can insta kill by stomping on players and biting them. The t-rex can also attack structures if its prey that it is chasing runs inside or it smells cooking food inside. When the t-rex kills a player it will loot them by eating their body. When the t-rex is killed all the loot it has eaten spills out and the t-rex respawns somewere.
-
why not... military + zombie ?
military try to kill zombie/or human mutant and don't know if players are infected so they try to kill everyone
-
I just want mythicals creature-Giants
-
Dinosaurs wouldn't fit the theme of the game... Military does.
-
military!!!!! so we have guns from killing them!!!!! easier to get guns than finding them
-
Hi everyone.
So i would go like this : i would bring into the game thieves/raiders, so everybody should fear about losing materials, even the well geared people who are shooting on sight on pvp servers, and it will be nice on PVE servers also, a little more adrenaline for them.
If not, my second proposal is : add dinosaurs on open fields, military in towns and mystical creatures in the mountains.
I saw that those three options are top 3, so why not bring them all in game.
This way, there will be dangerous everywhere.
-
I'm waiting to see the delicious outrage from the tard-masses when Facepunch reveals whatever they're working on and it's not dinosaurs.
-
How about we just a majority of them?
They could add Dinosaurs, Mutants, Robots, and Aliens!
-
Mythical Creatures! I vote this because the Dev's can have incredible freedom with this. There could be a pool of monsters just hidden in valleys/rocks- this can even include ones that resemble dinosaurs. I don't vote military because it'll remind me of a HL2 - resistance vs combine ordeal; in my opinion I've played enough HL2RP and HL2 in general.
-
I think that monsters like for example in Dead Space are a good idea.
There are so many possibilities to add in different types of creatures that can be designed.
Mutant Military is too much of zombies in my opinion.
-
Why not just have a Bigfoot or a Yeti?
Small + orange = fast running, deals less damage.
Human height + brown = normal speed and damage.
Tall + dark brown or grey = slower and more damage.
-
I would love this.
-
I just realized if tribals are added this game will be linked with Day One: Garry's incident. Add door to door salesmen to replace zombies, they haven't been done before.
-
I kind of like the idea of dinosaurs, in the sense of there being animals that aren't like bears and wolves. An armed military might make it really difficult for newer players to get around, lol.
I wouldn't like the typical T-rex/raptor dinosaurs, though.
Make up your own dinosaur-like creatures if you go with this option!
-
The ONLY way they're going to keep everyone happy is to not directly replace them with anything. I'm sorry, I know it's boring but It's the truth.
The thousands of people that play rust, play it because they love it how it is and want to see it expand on those original ideas. As long as it stays on that course you will keep those players and gain many more. No one bought rust because they thought it was a zombie/mutant/alien/mythical/dinosaur/etc FPS game. If you did .. You're an idiot.
No one is going to be upset if you keep it how it is. However, If it becomes directly focused on any one of those specific types of enemy, then rust will loose many many players .. Me included.
I bought rust specificly because it is NOT a zombie/mutant/alien/mythical/etc. FPS game. There's already a million of those games around. Rust as it is is pretty unique, and there's very little you can practically compare it with .. Pleeeeeeeease don't ruin that!!
If this poll says one thing .. It's that people will be unhappy whatever option you do .. So don't do anything!
Instead of directly replacing the zombies. Leave it as it is .. Where your biggest enemy (as Garry once said), is other players. No enemy NPC can replace a real player. So focus on giving people a better reason to fight ...
... Add more REAL animals that drop more specific resources (meat, fish, fur, leather, horn, venom, bone, feather) and live in more specific areas (water, marshland, mountain, cold areas, hot areas, Forrest), and do the same for resources. Certain trees grow in certain areas and grow certain food and different qualities of wood. Same with rocks, some grow in caves underground or around mountains (but not exist in large numbers in woods or marshland) and do the same for many many other resources. Give people the ability to grow their own crops, obviously on fertile land and not on Rocky Mountains. This gives people a reason to want a specific plot of land and a reason to defend it. And gives others a reason to trespass and fight for it. It also gives people valuable items worth trading for.
This way the number one enemy remains as other players and everyone remains happy.
If it ain't broke ... Don't fix it.
:)
-
Awesome.
-
I know it makes no sense at all but i want killer clowns
-
I'd like to see all of the above in different areas of the game, but realistically whichever top two-three wins. Offtopic: Also carts and/or trucks.
-
Vote for Mutant Humans or Animals! Dinosaurs make no sense in Rust! Because Dinosaurs carry Leather Armor and Granola Bars
-
Dinosaurs make a LOT more sense than Mutant humans or animals! Lol :p
