I have been playing Rust recently, and I kept being bothered by some dude near my base, so for a bunch of hours, he kept door camping, roof camping near me, so I decided to put land mines around his base and I had a really good laugh when I kept watching him from my base stepping on those mines. Dude became so paranoid avoided even the smallest rocks/bushes :ROFLMAO:

Picking on the poor homeless roof squatter, you should be ashamed :LOL:

That sounds like a great strategy for dealing with pesky neighbors in real life 💥🤬🧨

Who said video games weren't educational?

I've been thinking of just building a roof light facing his base and setting it to flicker nonstop, and maybe throwing some smokes for lag, but I didn't see him in his tower recently.

I forgot how fun traps were in this game. I also have put bear traps in the bushes near my base and normally put them around the outpost, but it takes way too long to stay there and wait for someone to fall into the trap, plus I don't have the gears to craft them anymore or time to rearm, and I am afraid users falling into them might destroy.

Every problem has a solution! :ROFLMAO:

Bear traps might be a bit obvious...tripwire would be better.

Or you could just make air pockets of ammonia and bleach mixed :LOL:

My personal choice (with homemade ammo)

Tripwire is usually used in trap bases for rust

For Ark, there used to be a narco tripwire, and if someone walks into it get KO and you can cage them, but in ARK, you can't do trap bases like you can do in Rust.

I was thinking more razor wire (had to look up the actual name), you know...walk into it and it slices your leg off or the shit people have run into on 4 wheelers and got cut in half.

I don't have much interest in mock warfare although I've always been extremely good at it, even in games.

One of my favorite things in the newer Assassins Creed before it became even more terrible were poison darts, I would take out entire enemy encampments by launching them with pinpoint accuracy from a high vantage point after studying the patrol patterns so they would poison or alert other guards that could continue the chain of death for me...I played that whole series in true stealth unless missions required speed or gave you no choice, usually far ahead of having the tricks other people used and suggested.

I also played that MP once, a couple round kill battle 1 on 1 without knowing the controls first...I was able to elude my obviously more familiar opponent so well during the second round that they jumped off their hiding place and landed right next to me...when I pressed the assassination button it outright failed, my disguise vanished, and they killed me and won the match.

I was so f'in pissed at the fact the controls failed me instead of it being my own lack of skill that I never played again.

I have the same kind of dislike for FPS games because if I had a physical (accurate) gun or zapper I would actually be good at it...plus your limited to randomly found weapons and have no ability to actually get creative freely...and the view sucks :LOL:

Even VR won't even be able to get realistic combat right...no matter what they do, because realistic combat requires realistic consequences and realistic human reaction to it, like fear, tension, remorse, and concern for possibly innocent people.

No matter what they try to emulate in that sense, nothing will ever change the fact that people would be totally different in reality...training soldiers in a fake environment is impossible even if you could trick their mind into thinking otherwise...unless it turns into something like the movie Enders Game.

This was one of the worst mission in AC: Brotherhood I ever did, I didn't even have assassins to call yet.


I had to actually share my solution back then it was so annoying to plan out :LOL:

I had to remove the sprites to avoid spoilers...which also prevents me from shooting them down and that looks the best since they go behind the bushes at the bottom unlike the top (yet)

But we have randomized 'ducks' in flight with flapping motions and all.


This is so pathetic looking with text I almost decided not to bother but meh 🤷‍♂️

Did you get it instantly when you hit 30 hours?
No. First of all the time keeps changing. It was going at double speed, watch one hour, counts as two. Then it reset to zero. Then it went back up into the twenties. So the time is constantly wrong. I started it when I posted here, so I have an approximate time.

Anyway, I got it a few hours after it hit thirty. I posted here as soon as I noticed, but it's not like I was checking every five minutes. Also, pretty sure last time it took several hours to register too.

It does the same for me, but from what I've read, it only counts the real time, yeah, same, I check it every 1-3 hours or when I can
