well, recoil is better now. you don't have to spend hundreds of hours to train your spray, you can actually have a life and hit them triples.

Scroll to 2017. You'll love the electricity.
Rust has become more graphonic and not with monotonous fields after the fire, there are new monuments, mechanics like electricity, lame servers + removed the hardcore servers excl 1 -_- . Now the clans have more advantages than the solo players

People now have no life and spend 24/7 grinding and farming for their clan and every server has a clan

uhm now it eats 11 gigabytes of ram on lowest settings. literally unplayable on 16gb setup. half a year ago it was only using 8-9 on mid settings. way to go, devs!

16GB of Ram is pretty much at the end of relevancy and 32GB to 64GB is rapidly becoming standard. As the natural cycle of technology goes. In 5 to 8 years 64GB to 128GB will be standard and the days of 16GB will be a distant memory.

There's a lot more you can do mid to late game than there was back then. It's also a bit faster progression because of the research system. A lot of the basics are the same. Some of the fundamental balance has changed. Recoil is in the midst of being redone on all the guns.

Recoil is easier*
Why are egalitarians into loaded vocabulary like they're repeating lies to affirm themselves over people who deserve more?
It's so petty.

Those are the people who call you a no life because you were better than them (and still are).

Personally I could have done without it being made easier and just having RNG added to it

Yeah
It would keep snipers relevant and the spray guns fun to handle. I also despise the crouch meta. It helps cheaters (keeping you inside an aimbot circle is not given to all cheaters) and people who can't track moving targets. 100% uncalled for, even RPers were not complaining about that. Just FP being FP.

The thing about them "polishing" Rust like your average Western-made FPS is that they leave us with the impression that everything before that was accidental or in place because they lacked the means to be like all the others.
The game was accidentally good and got big by luck as proven by the irrelevancy of Garry mod and that other game that gives you a head piece in Rust (so irrelevant I can't remember the name).
Facepunch employees are like Lotto millionaires. They do not understand what they had, and one day, they'll be as reputable as Blizzard for pulling * like this for more $$$ (which did not even work as proven by the fact that we only have 3k more players than last April, which is the same as the year before that. Their only gain are the people who complain daily on Twitter about the recoil).

Speaking of Blizz

You can see how the removal of sprays affected the end game with the population.
The peaks are higher when it wipes, but Rust goes below Unturned by the end of the month.
Unturned only started being more popular than Rust after the removal of sprays.

They will never have the popularity of a plug-and-play. They have to focus on competitors like DayZ and Unturned. Idk how they can bring the slow-placed people of DayZ who like to walk around for fun without alienating Rust players, but I remember asking around on Unturned servers "why Unturned and not Rust" and two things: stability, or even running the game, and character customization. Sadly Rust RPers like to brag about their 7000$ NASA PCs whenever they get the chance, which does not help to attract more players as far as reality goes. They also like to pretend that a black character model is not advantageous when you try to hide in bushes during the only enjoyable phase of the game.
Just this would bring them a bunch of players without pissing anyone off, more than a 3k annual gain + daily #revert recoil on everything FP employees post on Twitter, but FP gotta FP

I'm venting because I am at my fourth wipe this month with all BPs on 4 servers, berry farm and all, but what now? There is nothing to do, the end game isn’t fun.
