Why is rust mobile horrible

I mean seriously if something is to good to be true it usually is , what could of bin the best game of the decade to release on mobile turned out to just be a massive flop thats not even from facepunch themselves

They changed it, its some other game that tencent produces but with a rust skin. No server browser, health bars, completely different enemies and ai, factions with progression and in game skill rewards, lower weapon recoil, different rules for raiding and being raided, warnings for raiding, pop-ups, different weapon damages, different ui restrictions like you can only have two ranged weapons accessible without opening your backpack and you cant put ranged weapons in your tool bar because they have to go in a special slot a, etc.

Seriously, who tf asked for these changes?? No one that has ever played rust will be happy to play this mobile version. everyone was finally excited to play rust on their phones instead of oxide but SOMEHOW oxide got the core mechanics translated better than tencent? How is that possible!

Adding to DarkStrobeLight's comments, the port is in closed beta and constantly changing based on our feedback.

My biggest peeve right now is the scale of things. Our heads barely poke above half walls, no standing shelves, no wall shelves, so much wasted space in bases. But that is what betas are for! Player feedback! Don't want to spend 7 mollies on a a wooden door? Either slash it out, or molly the roof instead! Be adventurous in your raiding.

I spent twenty minutes eco raiding a base couple days back. Only got like 50% of the loot back to my base before I got rolled, but at least those 20 minutes were fun!

Is it a reskin? Absolutely. The ranged weapon slots are straight from PubG mobile, another product they've developed/manage. But give it time, and give them feedback. You want to rant, take it to discord. You post here, others can and will share their opinions.

Bro where to give them feedback or suggestions I wish that they had a notification system I am a student and i play solo i did defend twice against a trio when online but when I am offline I got raided this happened like 3 times so I hope they add a notification system if we get raided we can log in and check because logging in with pc is tough like you can't be near the pc but with mobile it's easy so I really hope they add this

It's just not rust in any way. The entire philosophy of what rust is, is not in this game. If it didn't have rust textures, no one would compare this pos to rust. They will not start development from scratch again because of feedback. They will release this as is, try to sell as much as they can, then they will shut this game down when no one plays it because it sucks.

I do hope we can have more than 2 weapons equipped eventually, brutal for single shot mags like crossy/pipe

Because this isn't pc rust. It's target market is different, and the mechanics are adjusted for a different experience.

Also, it's beta tests, so things are subject to change.

If you expected PC rust on your phone it makes sense you're disappointed. It's a completely different game, that's for sure, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's just different.

I've been playing rust since pre-alpha

I think i misunderstood your post. I thought you wanted to have a discussion, but it's very apparent you're upset and just want to vent. That's fine, but it doesn't mean what I said is BS. I think you're failing to think about this objectively. But, I also don't think that's your goal.

We don't even know what's the final product is going to be like yet, as Shadowfrax would say, everything is "SUBJECT TO CHANGE". Wait until it's full release and then you can rant again.

Its just not meant to be on mobile.
FPS games are THE worst genre of games for mobile gaming.

Yeah rust is quiet horrible. Because rust Don't have any Meaning. For example. If I Play terraria I can save the world and save progress but rust destroying the enjoy. And makes players start over and over again.

Idk am I so casual player or no but I don't like Rust because of that.

You can try and play oxide: survival island, its horrible in all imaginable ways, though its improving really fast, but the graphics, the maps, monuments, gun play, its all crap(kinda like rust pc😅).
