I’m gonna assume you’re a PvE player because you’re worrying about building a nice base only for it to be wiped when server pop is low or when the time limit for the server wipe is up.
The whole server wipe thing is for PvP only tbh, I don’t see why PvE would need any wipes since base locations only matter in PvP.
Fresh wipes mean the best clan on wipe 1 have the chance to be the worst clan on wipe 2, it’s all down to base locations and claim etc, on wipe 1 the top clan has aqueduct and wipes the rest of the server bc they have a hard base to raid, wipe 2 they aren’t fast enough to claim the same spot and get stuck with one of the jungle temples and they get wiped 5 days into the wipe.
It’s always a new experience every time and that’s what keeps players coming back on games like rust bc they offer servers that periodically wipe as an official experience.
Animation cancelling should be a thing like it was in the past.Combat was fun and challenging.It took practice to master.Now its more like: How do i deal with this crappy system.
Combat was in a really good place before they changed the heavy attack on the 2-handed sword.
Bows were less powerfull back then as well.Making it more of a skill weapon to take out a enemy that was running away after getting low hp.
Bow now: 3 hits ure dead or really close to it.
If anything needs changing to the combat system.Its the q-lock on official.
people literally refuse to play the game because of this.i wonder how many bought the gme because it had q-lock.probaly less then 100.It only hides the cheaters better,thats literally the only thing its good for.
I’m sorry that i stopped checking this, but everyone makes good points. Except for don’t try. I’m here reading this after they announced the next update. It wouldn’t take a lot of big changes to make combat better. Will it be perfect? NO, but the cheese was always in the game. It just wasn’t rhe best way to play. It was a way, but ultimately a skilled player would pick rollis apart. Let me make an example. The server that I’m on now. The very first person that i fought recognized my skill lvl vs everyone else that plays there. I was in heavy armor. It not the best anymore, and i know that. I simply said thag heavy armor has always been good. The stam now is the problem. Now even the noobs act like its my first day. Let everyone play how they want, and shape their game. Also tho, you need balance. If nothing counters rolls. Then everyone rolls. If only one armor is great. Then everyone uses that armor. Conan balance shifted years ago to catering to the noobs crying in these very forums. I just hoped to voice an opinion that to me should be very clear for anyone playing a game like this. Meta will always be. Balance is more important than trying to stop the meta. So going forward to me it would be better to strengthen some weaker things. Vs killing off the thinklgs that are strong.
