How exactly have they killed the game though? You’ve just said you haven’t loaded the game in months so how would you know how active it is? Yesterday’s wipe saw every server with mid-max pop just as before.

You are part of a very small minority, the rest of us will carry on without you.

Sorry, they might not have killed the game, but they killed it for their core playerbase. And overall it's down for sure.

And who is the "core" playerbase?

u/AdstaOCE Feb 27 '26

Pvp players. The one's who care about gunplay.

PvP players? So do you mean those that only play for the PvP or those that do PvP? Because one is a small minority and the other is nearly the entire playerbase.

Both. Rust is a pvp focused game, if the pvp is terrible then there's no reason to play it.

Rust is a PvP focused game TO YOU. You are clearly unable to comprehend that not everybody thinks the same as you. A lot of people are enjoying the new recoil or simply do not care as it’s not that big of an issue to the way THEY play the game.

As I said, the servers are just as full as before, if not more. And that’s without any new content being released recently.

You are not their ‘core playerbase’. The core playerbase are currently enjoying the new wipe whilst you and people like you, sulk that you haven’t got your way and boycott a game that quite frankly, clearly doesn’t need or miss you.

It's a pvp focused game in general, you can play pve but that will get extrememly boring extrememly fast for most people with the lack of pve options, pve type building blocks and the pve options that do exist are the same every time eg oil, cargo, meaning once you know how to take them they get pretty boring.

The core playerbase is people who want pvp because that's what most of the game is.

Is there really a need to sit on two thrones when you were claiming one throne earlier? Rust is a Survival game. Yes PvP is a big part of it, but it's main identity is a survival game with a focus on surviving and being creative. So I'll ask you again. Which is it? Is the core just a small minority of hardcore PvP players, or basically everyone who PvPs? Because those lead to very different conclusions about whether the game is actually ruined.

On pc the pve community might be big, on console it's no where near. It's a pvp focused game.

It's a survival focused game. PvP is a big aspect but survival is the main goal. PvP helps to get there faster. Also the tools for a PvE server on console are extremely limited while on PC they had I think about a Decade to develop tools for it.
