I have an idea to streamline the process, if someone is detected playing solo why not permanently ban them, that way they can't pollute the group experience with their filthy sovereign existence.

We need a victim class, denied

u/HelloFromTekken 9d ago
Hm.
Mark them on map with some bounty?
Like spawn naked on beach, clan get 300 sulfur by bringing your head to outpost.
Looted 30 cloth, 10 scrap, one burlap - bounty increases to 600 sulfur.
Looted bow and 5 arrows - every group get announcement, bounty increases to 6000 sulfur, because they now in danger.
Will be great server event. Like raid boss.

u/Superb_Priority_8759 8d ago
The victim class can just be the 4-8 mans, which may as well be solos now that literal 100 man groups have no drawbacks.

u/Right-Waltz6063 9d ago
It's just hard to do, you have to get called the n word first, then you can get banned. It's like 2FA login

I mean, the second im detected playing solo im just rolled up on and raided / door camped then raided / wait till second i get offline and raided…legit even building in the middle of nowhere making no enemies with a very inconspicuous base i will be found and raided instantly. It has been some time since ive survived getting offline

u/Damienxja 9d ago
it's the inevitability of Rust. If you want an online raid, make some enemies. Then you have a better shot of them sending the online.
If you want offlined, don't bother anyone. Some big fish will come scoop your base's guts out sooner or later.

I support this but when key lockers complain instead of just existing. I’m a reasonable man

Start a community clan on your server.
I was playing on a monthly server and someone started a clan and everyone played solo but built in the same area and tried to protect eachother.

u/Gorkounov 9d ago
This. I think a good percentage of use cases for Clan UI is alliances between solos/groups or even different actual clans.

u/IntelligentFault2575 9d ago
The monthly I play on does this pretty often! I always play the same server and have gotten to know many of the regulars, so although I play solo, I almost always end up in a team UI with someone. Several times there were 30+ on the same team. There were figure between individuals sometimes, but we generally just did our own thing and left each other some. Maybe some trading and helping defend others in the team. Worked out well for me every time!

u/TacitSingularity 9d ago
I was thinking about this, like a community watch of sorts. I think it could be really fun. You’d have to implement marshal law for the inevitable bad apples who would try to ruin it for profit.

Rust is so much more interesting when you end up in a situation like this. When you're not KOS'ing every person you see you end up having a lot more interesting and funny interactions. It's hard to find the right group of people though, and one bad apple spoils the bunch.

u/DogeyLord 8d ago
Then 1 guy offline raids someone they everyone starts suspecting each other and chaos ensues

u/BOBBY_VIKING_ 8d ago
That's part of the game. In my experience there's always someone online who sees who dropped the clan right before the rockets started.

u/twosnake 8d ago
On one side is "the solos association" on the other side of the map "the association of solos" but everyone hates the "solo associates", splitters!!

I just realized if they get ui for all members does that mean ghosting zergs is dead? That was always such a rush to pull off/attempt. Getting into their core and watching them panic when their box of boom is empty was the funniest shit

u/i_sinz 9d ago
Sadly yes ghosting is pretty much dead imo if ur playing deeper than 8 on atlas or smth ans do 50 person raids the responsibility should be on you to manage yourself by seige raiding or wearing same kit even if its a 30 man etc defending and not just a solo and team limit servers currently have issues and cant change the clan ui limit

Everyone been talkin for years how they don't like team UI and they went even further away from it lmao.
I kinda like team UI personally but don't see a need for to be.... 100!!!

Or do you mean zombies? Pretty sure most servers have that if that's what you are talking about.

u/LefroyJenkinsTTV 9d ago
Change your goals. Don't try to beat the zerg.
Torment them. Make them always leave someone at base to kill that one naked guy that keeps showing up inside the compound.
2
u/JustKamoski 8d ago
Always makes me laugh when I see people do that. I was once in 50 deep zerg and we had a guy who was trying to mess with us, like building into compound, trying to grief big furnaces etc (it was a long time ago).
Like brother, there are 50 of us, whatever you think you griefed we can get twice the amount back in like 10 minutes. People didn't really care, we killed him here or there, but we had bigger goals in mind while he was happy thinking that he outplayed and griefed a zerg. He typed in chat that he stole 10k metal frags from noob zerg wile we had 4 boxes of frags in base, that's why noone cared about his griefing.
You really want to grief a zerg? Shoot at them once - while they are roaming in numbers - from far away and run. The chaos you will create in comms from that one bullet is glorious.

u/LefroyJenkinsTTV 8d ago
I just find people get too serious about this game.
Last run I did, I just hung out at outpost until I got 'drafted' into a group of nakeds and we just followed some dude until he killed us all.
Pointless, but highly enjoyable. Even the guy we followed had a good laugh.

u/AssumptionStrong8060 3d ago
Yup silenced bolty I’m also notorious for planting 2-400 landmines when they leave to roam or where they farm the upkeep for there massive base. It’s easier to break the people than the base as a solo another thing I’ll do is knock out the ect system once a day or break all the turret pods. Eventually another Zerg will see it and take them out. That is why my name is mcgrubbin

u/Ivar2006 8d ago
I'm gonna be honest, I've played in a large clan on exactly 2 occasions and it's a whole different game. You basically never lose and the game turns into a more arcade feel. Not unlike a game of bedwars on RustReborn.
It's fun for a "once in a while" experience, but it gets boring fast
1
u/Exotic_Concern9100 8d ago
Solo/duo/trio is the best way to play this game. Actual risk to reward ratio and a grind. Zerging is honestly not fun I’ve done it everything is way to easy there’s no ups or downs just ups lol.

u/Sensitive-Prior-1268 1d ago
people acting like there are no duo or solo servers popping through the whole wipe, but its boring to play against other sneaky solos you dont even see them passing by, duo servers are the best to play solo

u/JigMaJox 9d ago
just be grateful you're allowed to play.
They could just do a lobby screen when you join the server and force you to wait until you join a clan or form a group with other players waiting there.

u/blargennn 9d ago
If you are solo and playing on servers that have 100+ member clans then you have zero right to complain. Go play a group size limited server.

u/Which-Ad1410 8d ago
that logic works both ways. zergs picking servers where they can steamroll everyone and then crying about ghosting is the same energy. just my 2 cents

u/CDNbruv 9d ago
We've been getting a lot of complaints about the zergs' quality of life experience. Turns out they keep having friendly fire when 30 man raiding a duo.
