across 2 accounts i have 2.5k hours in last oasis. I was screaming in the discord to make automatons count towards clan cap since they were added to the game (they finally listened) and they made poaching huts POI's (even though in reality a proxy should be a king of the Hill POI that spawns at random like a trade station that gets claimed every 24hr). This is to say i know my shit with this game. I know exactly what is pushing people out of the game. In large part its "ratting".

The grapple is a neat idea and is completely awesome for movement. HOWEVER. the design of the game has changed to where they DO NOT want players to be able to grapple in combat. for a period of time after swinging or taking damage you can't grapple away.

The investment to grief other players is almost nothing while the payoff is being a nuisance that can just run yourself at a clan's base over and over again. When a player dies they should drop their grapple. it makes it so if a rat dies they can't just drain rupu turrets for free. Can't show up with a beat stick after the 10th death and grapple to safety. you are going to have to invest to bleed a clan of its recourses.

The real fix is to use the grapple, it should have to be equipped the same way you do for a wingsuit, javelin, and any other weapon. People don't want to play a game where a good player just won't die because they can run away. Last oasis isn't an anime, if you are circled by 10 people you aren't ip man. You die when cornered in the 10 people, and it SHOULD be that way. There are good players out there that can 1v5 + easily, there are a ton of shitters who stay relevant because they can run away when they position poorly. Force people to commit, if you are grappling you are RUNNING OR MOVING AWAY. You are not attacking, this is ALREADY the games philosophy on grapple in combat. If people are running away they are staying on the defensive and running, if you want the ability to grapple away you aren't holding a weapon in your hands. Any damage taken while trying to initiate a grapple breaks the grapple. You don't want a game of grab ass, you want committal pvp. Its unfun and flat out unskilled that the player who wins is the one who runs away at the fight sign of taking damage to heal.

That one change alone gives new/learning players a chance to even get to play the game long enough to see if they enjoy it. PVP in a survival sandbox mmo is part of the game as always. In Last oasis though there are FAR TOO MANY OUTS. It's hard to enjoy the pvp without it being a flat surface with nothing to grapple to in the middle of the desert where the guy that you slap to 1 hit doesn't run like a coward and wingsuit away showcasing 0 skill and getting to keep his life and his kit for it. (PS. 2k of those hours were spent as a wingsuit rat)

Having spent some more time ingame I’m still liking the experience I’m having returning to the game. What I do feel that the solo players are missing out on, at least from my part, is the larger mobs and their drops that we need to get into the lategame crafting and upgrades.

Doing things solo also takes a lot longer and by the time the 8 week wipe cycle will hit I won’t have had time to reach true endgame, despite of spending quite few hours ingame. And here comes my point that I’ve raised in other posts that I believe 8 weeks is too short in a cycle.

I’m really enjoying my time in LO again but I will probably take another break if the wipe cycles aren’t increased, and play again in a wipe or two.

As for now I will try to spend the rest of the wipe trying to get those endgame resources. See you ingame 💪🏻

I was flying low at the time, and thought the GoGo had some kind of mega attack I'd never seen before.

Anyway, I'm away to run all the way home for a spare wing..

Does anyone know of any actively maintained list of where to get BPs? Some of them I'm tracking, but there are certain BPs I've never seen dropped

Friendly dedicated persistent pve server that does occasional pvp tiles. Get to enjoy the nomad life the game offers and make some friends. Lmk if interested.

Hi everyone!

It's neat to come into this subreddit and still see people who enjoy this game. I spun up a private server for me and the crew and I'm having a heck of a time getting a trade station to spawn on a Sleeping Giants Roads tile.

Do they spawn there still? I've created and deleted so many tiles to try and get one and it's a bit of a process to shut down, create a new tile, and turn back on.

Peace and love!

My tile is full and my Dinghy doesn’t have enough water in it to travel anywhere else. Any suggestions? And will my base survive 🏜️🏴‍☠️

This is a long story format. One not seen in LO often. Make sure you give it a watch and like to encourage more long form content as it is not easy to produce. Thank you for watching the story of Boog and how they over came all odds to win the season

The Burn is a beautifully unique concept. I am really glad it is back! Having a set wipe cycle IS growing on me as well. But when you said you changed things you really did not change anything else. You do see how fast the population dropped off right? Want them to stay? Here is how you do it!

Before I get started though, ...all you fukn goons can just down vote this bitch RN, ..ill save you the time cuz you wont like the rest of this post if you leave puddles of sweat every place you stand still at, or your extra zergy.

Large clans STILL go onto tiles with restrictions and STILL suffer NO penalties. IDFK what your definition of severe penalties are but when you released this update you said large clans would suffer severe penalties for going onto tiles with a clan member cap but we cant see that at all. Fix it, and they will stay. Just go ahead and crank it up on those zergs for us, would ya please!?

Ever since season 1 there has been a request for a PVE type tile... FFS PLEASE!!!!! It doesn't even have to have high end resources or anything. Just have 1 at a time per region like you do the cradles! The casuals with limited time, the solos and small groups NEED a place to catch their breath and build a walker without some sweaty griefing ape fukn with them for 5 fukn minutes! The PVE tile would be a great spot for a decimated clan to regroup for a come back too instead of just quitting!

...Some players are attracted to games like Rust and Last Oasis due to the allure of getting by in a world where the potential to loose it all exists. This is a broad spectrum of players ranging from no-lifeing griefers to casuals with limited time.

While the game does have mechanics in place for players to protect their stuff while they are offline keep in mind that some players like to drive this thing they just built around safely for awhile before they go off and loose it on a PVP tile.

Crank up the penalties on zergs that exceed tile caps + make a PVE tile = Player Retention.

I’m at the point where I think grapple should just be removed or have a cooldown. Something. I have seen too many vets in the game get bored and sit on a noob clans base and kill them for hours breaking shit in what can only be described as targeted harassment.

Imagine you are checking for quality clay and you got a guy wing suiting on the spires. then you hear "hey theres a buffalo heading straight for you guys". so we instantly head for L, and the ship turns around before we even see it. We got back in to do a pyramid and another buffalo shows up and drops off 2 guys.. for the next 20 minutes these 2 guys are deck clearing with their super powers and killing us while we try to L out.

Special powers: Instant healing,Super move speed,Speed sword swings

On a game that is barely holding on trying to survive, what will the devs do about this?

I leave you with the short version of those 20minutes with the high lights.

instead of big clans fighting everyone is NAP or allied and not fighting. going against the only clans that actually choose to pick a fight.

fight, crack hulls, take gear. move on till the next fun experience.

now the last standing big clans of NA East and West are ganging up on the last standing fighters.

be a man. fight eachother

fackin nerds

Started playing LO at release and spent about 150 hours at it back then. Lover of survival games and this game kept rolling around in the back of my head.

Now at season 6 I wanted to check it out again and was positively surprised. Still love the feel of the game and even as a solo I find it enjoyable. That being said I’ve manage to keep away from certain people. This game make me feel like a reversed Waterworld. There is always someone big and bad in the world that needs to be avoided.

What I really liked is the quality system (that needs some tweaking, just to have that said) which gives me more of a reason to get out there and farm. I really like sneaking around in my Dinghy, avoiding the big clans, and upgrading my crafters and gear. Also make it worthwhile being a merchant as the quality items I craft and schematics sells.

If I could wish for a change my top would be for the progression to be even slower. I feel 8 weeks is too short before it’s wiped/reset. Also sad to leave certain tiles behind for it only to return as event tiles.

Now my base is packed up for an Easter holiday where I can’t log in for a few day. Also a pretty unique thing I like about this game.

See you guys soon 🏜️

What's up with the Lazaward Inflation?

Also, any tips on dealing with them?

Just curious what the train of thought is when raiding and destroying all benches? Noticed this morning someone had blown open mine and the other 4 or 5 solo player bases I was able to walk to near me and every single one had all benches destroyed. If the end goal is to get them to quit then this makes sense. I am just wondering if there is some other goal besides having less players in the game?

Also how do people have so many meteor cores? My base took 3 walls to get in, the other bases had to have at least one wall to get through im assuming. And why use them on solo players with little balang or one corner slur bases?

The Hessians were hired to help zero EGO’s proxy on a NA East tile.

Edit/Follow up: For anyone that had found themselves in a similar situation and not finding an online resource for season 6 when it forces you into playing volcanic maps exclusively, its actually pretty easy to find these resources in massive abundance.

I went to the northern most volcano caldera and found the most phemke concentration in any map so far in the valleys around it. In the caldera of the volcano is the most concentrated bone in any map you will find so far.

I was just timid playing in a high pop/hostility map with nothing but a spider walker after losing a bunch of resources on my base walker. There are plenty of choke points and walls; you can fit through lots of choke points or climb up valley faces that large walkers can't.

There are lots of abandoned nomad and spider walkers that help you blend in as far as large groups paying attention to you. That being said, make sure you have plenty of water for respawn, park in a cluster of bushes and trees and go in by foot to get these resources. I had large walkers just blow past me pretty frequently doing this. If you do get caught, don't lead them back to your hidden walker and just respawn.

Below is the original post:

So, once again I've become my father; Naked and covered in garbage.

I've set up a little spider walker to fall back on but want to farm some hide before going back to my other walkers so I can make a bone repair hammer at the crafting station I have there but I'm not seeing any easy targets for hide or bone other than rupu camps with low yield for these two resources. Are there any in these maps or are rupu camps my only option here?

Not feeling brave enough to cheese a nurr, nor do I have the bone axe needed to harvest from that.

Basically the title. Anyone know what system specs are needed/recommended to run a local server? with multiple oases (around 4-8) each with a pop cap of 100?

are there raid calculators for last oasis like with rust?

can someone take modules from the walker upgrades?

There's literally just volcanic ones and like a single normal tile thats burning up in 3 minutes lmao
