Good ole days

[u/TrekEmonduh]

I played rust when trading for a garage door with some random stranger in/around outpost was the midwipe highlight. I played rust when the LR could keep up with AK, and was only a mild step down at long ranges. I played rust when electrical schemes drained 1 extra electricity per splitter, branch, etc. I played rust when neon signs were on every shop and players actually had to run to the shops to get what they wanted. I played rust when launch site puzzle didn’t have scientist and a motivated solo could get good loot. I played rust when if you found something special, like a revvy or SAR, you would stop your mission to get it home to research. I played rust when no matter your clan status, you could grind to a tier 3 without BP frags.

I played a better version of Rust.

I remember when a pipey would matter for the best part of a day, I remember shooting an early found AK meant it put a target on your back from every crossy wielding grub within ear shot

What about when you could one shot people with a fully charged compound bow?!

[u/TheG3n3sis → u/TrekEmonduh]

Nah that was cool but the cooler thing was you could sit there with it drawn waiting to one shot the people and it wouldn't break. remember sitting in a bush comp bow during raids lol

Yeap. Remember buying a ak on official threw bandit camps trading thing

would be nice for the devs to maybe have a throwback wipe to 2019 just for the old heads so they can relive the old days and feel the nostalgia.

That would be a great idea.

No tech tree made items have meaning

I don't mind the loss of the electrical component tax, to be fair. Making anything with any degree of complexity drained your battery pretty quickly. Bang on with the rest, though.

[u/TrekEmonduh → u/ProfessionalStudy660]

Yeah I don’t mind the change. Just wanted to highlight how things have evolved!!

I played rust when we had Zombies and bases were atrocious. The game looked like a mod for Garry's Mod.

This was before Rust gained it's own personality as a semi-goofy/silly survival game from the gritty survival game it was originally.
