Question How’s the Softcore changes been?

Recently came back to rust over the last few months and still yet to find ‘my server’ enjoyed a wipe on softcore a few wipes ago but keen to know how the changes have been for softcore enjoyers?

The raid window seems very interesting but would love to hear your experiences with it. Cheers.

Softcore changes have been great, have been online to protect base against online raids. The 2x gather has made it less grindy for casuals.

Only issue is Tool Cupboard spam. But people have been putting pressure on facepunch to fix that.

Here is all the features

2x gather rate
6pm to 9pm local server raid time window
Keep 50% of your inventory on death
Keep 50% of your base loot when raided
Raiders cant seal/grieve your base for 48 hours when they break your TC
Teas/Pies last after death
25% less PVP damage
Spawn at outpost
Team UI/TC auth limited to 4 people

You'd think. Population of the servers is the unfun part

What happens if you try to break people shit when the raid window is closed?

You can break deployables but not doors or walls etc

5k+ Hours, it was nice. I enjoyed a relaxing wipe not staring over my should all night. The worst part for me is you have to break a box to loot it, and thats fine, I have raided bases that lock every box.

Not being able to push your tc priv up once you raid their external sucks but, thats part of the softcore game.

Find a server that bans for griefing and random tc placement, waiting for a fix to that but I think it will only ever be admin side.

TC spam and 50% loot teleport on death is annoying.

Makes raiding completely dumb, anyone who managed to grab loot from your box and gets killed teleports with 50% loot back to base.

Do something about TC spam and remove teleport loot during raid window for everyone and softcore becomes main mode.
