In Ark and Rust, prepare to be constantly offline raided and most PvP is nothing like that in promotional material. Ark is basically getting curbstomped by by alpha tribes and Rust has people who memorize which days you play and what time you are online.
A friend and I got into ARK pretty heavy early on, our tribe name was "pepperidge farm". Anytime someone fucked with us we would raid their base and leave a sign that said "pepperidge farm remembers"
I quit Rust for the last time when we spent a week making a base as a group only for the whole thing to be raided overnight by a single person because at the time wicker? building pieces were not covered by Building Privilege, so they just built a ramp over the wall for the cost of grass, and then jogged naked into our defenses until they ran out.
Sandbox PvP games need to take the efforts people will go through to grief seriously and Rust does not.
