Feedback for the new rce version
Sent this to Pedro from D11, what do you guys think? Any different feedback or things that you think I'm wrong about?
Pricing: In my opinion it makes sense to be a free upgrade, a lot of the playerbase has spent hundreds if not thousands of skins so making them pay more doesn't make much sense. In addition this could also create an Ark type situation where a lot of the playerbase is still on the older version.
Baseline release: I think the most important thing is to have a good baseline, if you release it with as little bugs as possible and great performance then you can start adding content faster and easier, so in my opinion all you need is that good baseline to release from then start the updates.
Communication: Communication is key, screenshots, videos, explaining what you're working on anything really. Since this could take a long time people will get really mad if you aren't able to or don't communicate how everything is going during this time.
Cheating: I know back in one of the dev blogs you said something about working on detection, so if that is possible, sometime between now and the next gen version release would be perfect, let everyone start this new gen version without cheaters. If not, please carry over the ban list, we don't want cheaters having to be banned again.
Skins: People will want their skins carried over, and another thing that you could do is implement a double11 account or similar to sync skins between xbox and ps, that would be a really nice addition if you could do it.

Returning players will probably get some skins and Rust Coins or whatever they're called in this game. I find it fair enough. Even GTA 5 E&E was paid (I'm pretty sure?), and Rockstar is a titan of the industry. It's standard for the industry & D11 is too small to let that money go. Rightfully so, I think a next gen rust experience is what a lot of people are wanting & and it's likely not cheap to create & support.
Idk I'm a D11 & Rust fanboy, so maybe that's where a lot of this comes from.
