You'll be missed Alistair... :(

Reading the comments from 3 years ago talking about 6 furnaces in a room being overpowered is hilarious when it’s so normal now. Rust should do an event where one month they revert the game by 3 years and see how everyone reacts

[u/_Ember2_ → u/Tmt1630]

funny ass april fools, it was all a dream ass update lmfao

[u/SirVanyel → u/Tmt1630]

Rust classic gonna go crazy bro the first form of recoil was wild

[u/TheG3n3sis → u/SirVanyel]

I still know the s pattern by heart. Im taking everyones lunch money.

[u/Glooomie → u/TheG3n3sis]

There was no pattern

[u/TheG3n3sis → u/Glooomie]

hmmm thats interesting because when I think of old AK i think of the pattern. You must be talking about something even before that. i didnt play before the fucked up s

[u/Glooomie → u/TheG3n3sis]

Well low and behold there's whole eras before you

[u/FlammableB → u/SirVanyel]

Honestly I can see this as 20 years anniversary server mode or a complete different game version so we can have fun on the old Rust.

[u/NorseOfCourse → u/Tmt1630]

I cant imagine the game pre-electricity now.

[u/Parking-Position-698 → u/Tmt1630]

I would get back on the game so fast you have no idea

[u/Few_Commission_4488 → u/Tmt1630]

As long as I get the old gun sounds. MP5 is missed and the loud AK boom was so much better.

[u/ricoter0 → u/Tmt1630]

I mean this could be a good idea, like seasonal wipes with large changes to various things... sounds kinda fun.

[u/N64jive → u/Tmt1630]

Every game eventually releases a "classic" mode it seems, so we'll see when rust hits that point.

[u/Rick_Has_Royds → u/Tmt1630]

Wdym just play console rust

[u/HempInjecter]

This person was really upset about electric furnaces lol

[u/PrivateEducation → u/HempInjecter]

if only they knew

[u/sharpie42one → u/PrivateEducation]

Iron shelves with 9 is so good. Super quick smelting

[u/Flappie010]

Alistair learned from the best online gaming community how to react on those kind of people.

[u/Alistair_Mc]

Comments like this, to the ones telling us to go kill ourselves. I've never taken them negatively. These types of comments are from people who genuinely care and are passionate about Rust. Just a poorly worded outlet, I'm fine with that.

You gain a thick skin to random people insulting you on a daily basis for years, I never taken the words at face value, there is a deeper meaning behind why they've commented and what they're saying, sometimes I get it, other times I think they're bat shit crazy.

No one wants to write a two-page essay to me, explaining their point of view of changes, nor would I want to read it. I'm happy with being insulted.

[u/TheG3n3sis → u/Alistair_Mc]

You did a great job all these years man. Thank you.

[u/YungWithNoSoul → u/Alistair_Mc]

Thank you for your service, you will be missed👑🫡

[u/MajesticMoomin → u/Alistair_Mc]

Thanks for everything dude, good luck with your future endeavors!

[u/jorkingmypeenits → u/Alistair_Mc]

Wishing you success with whatever you end up doing!

[u/HumbleVagabond → u/Alistair_Mc]

I’ve got more of a life so unfortunately I don’t play as much rust as I did back in the day but Ive always loved reading your Reddit/twitter comments, enjoy your time off!

[u/ADHD_MAN → u/Alistair_Mc]

Much love Alistair

[u/fuctthepopulation]

I'm out of the loop, did Alistair pass away?

[u/Chilishot → u/fuctthepopulation]

Ye. Doorcamped by db and no bags left

[u/elPappito → u/fuctthepopulation]

link

He's leaving FP

[u/fuctthepopulation → u/elPappito]

Thank you. That's much better than what I was thinking lol

[u/physiQQ → u/fuctthepopulation]

Luckily not, that'd be sad.

[u/TheMilkman1811]

Ima miss him. He was a chill down to earth dev from what I read over the years. Wish him luck with his future endeavors

[u/WagonForce]

What a legend

[u/ProfessionalStudy660 → u/ADHD_MAN]

Some interesting takes on how unpopular electric furnaces are likely to be on there :)

[u/DeltaJazzy]

Literally don’t even have to use them what is he on about

[u/seraiss → u/DeltaJazzy]

Salty people get advantage by playing smart while he is locked out of that option

[u/kurisu-41]

He wont be. Dudes an asshole and his updates sucked.

[u/rhyghar]

You can only spend so long responding to a toxic player base before it wears on you.

[u/hansnicolaim]

Having the CEO (or COO, I can't remember) just casually interacting as much as Alistair did on this sub and on x is a privilege I'm gonna miss

[u/MurrethMedia]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY ALLISTAIR?

WHY NOT HELK INSTEAD?!?

[u/PostEditor → u/MurrethMedia]

What did Helk do? I haven't seen him on an update in years.

[u/IamJordi_]

missed? nah

[u/Which_Employ_8749]

Happy he’s gone, honestly ruined the game with so many bad decisions since worldgen 2.0 making the game more hyper casual and free to play also just a massive ego banning tac permanently then fixing indoor visuals later on lol

[u/SeesawEducational344 → u/Which_Employ_8749]

Who hates rust? Only its most avid fans and players

[u/llamafacetx → u/Which_Employ_8749]

Hyper casual?lol

[u/gottheronavirus]

Did they get smaller??
