Rust Killer?

[ZeeO]

how many of you guys are long time rust players who plan to ditch rust for this game?

[Fraggon]

Didn't rust kill itself?

I really liked Rust, but you get bored too fast because of no end game content... Ark just seem to have anything interesting from Rust, and SO MUCH more !

Rust was (and still is) billed as a 'survival' game, the store page says 'the only aim in Rust is to survive'. And yet they recently added rocket launchers, it's become a PvP game with crafting. Survival is the last thing on the mind of most of the players now, all they want to do is 'raid' and kill on sight.

Still a good game, I've got into it again recently but it doesn't feel like it's the game they set out to make in the beginning.

I'm really looking forward to Ark though.

Since they made C4 and Rocket launchers so pathetically easy to get rust is NOT a survival game it's just kill everything with no consequence game

The crafting in this game sounds incredibly robust and will take time and effort if you want to be successful not to mention it actually has pve threats which nearly all survival games lack

So true, hopefully there as dangerous as we imagine and then it wont turn into rust which is just all out player vs player.

I have 1000+ hours in Rust. The reason? Because there has been no other decent non-zombie open world survival game. If Ark can tick all the boxes for me then I will definitely be focusing my time on Ark.

I still play The Forest from time to time but nearly all my games will gather dust if ark proves to be the game I think it will be

That's if they can get the AI right. I feel that a good survival game must have a superb AI intelligence. I hope that Wildcard have spent a considerable amount of time on the AI.

If Ark performs better and has better netcode of that of Rust, then Rust is dead to me (yes, I am exaggerating a bit).

[Charnel]

AI will be basic at the start and grow the devs have said..just how basic at start of EA we'll have to see

Ark isn't on Unity so that already puts it above the others haha..evil unity

Then sadly Ark will be more akin to Rust at the start of EA then it will a survival game. AI is absolutely crucial for a good survival game. And its something nearly all survival games so far have missed the mark on.

Why can't they both survive? Experimental has become better than legacy and they continually expand the game. PvP doesn't mean KoS. That's the players decision.

Anyhow the experiences they offer are far away from one another to offer a unique feel. The game that needs to worry even though I still try to help with suggestions for dev, is Beasts of Prey. That's Rust legacy with Dino's.

[Moopheus]

Do you mean all those thousands and thousands of cheating fecks that ruined Rust to its core coming over to destroy this game too. I IMAGINE SO !!!!

[Charnel]

Will be alot harder for hackers in ark seeing the server is incharge of all actions on it and full vac support and their own security system mmm layers of anti ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheater software
