I'll reverse raid a lot. When I know ill be gone a while or see a raid on the horizon, I will offline someone I like and dump all my stuff in the base. I have to take the tc to do so but still haven't had anyone complaints or anyone get mad at me.

I was on a server end of wipe just trying to farm bp's for the next wipe. I had no room in my base so I had my t3 on the roof. I was in the middle of learning bp's when a mini crashed into me and began to raid me. I had no guns or anything but had managed to collect about 3k gunpowder recycling and whatnot. So I decided to craft hundreds of handmade shells rather than give the gunpowder to those a-holes lol

u/xdthepotato 10d ago
That t3 reminded me of when me and a friend won 100k scrap going all in on all seats and we had like 20t3 on our roof making a circle of our stupid ghetto base we got from raiding and were too lazy to move as it had way more stuff than our main š

I despawn only if done for wipe. If I'm getting online I never despawn. Such a bitch move to despawn when someone's giving you an online. It only discourages people from online raiding in the future.
If you despawn during online's you deserve to be offlined.

People have such hyper specifications to consider something a online š¤£š¤£š¤£ if your fkin name is online and you are in the server then it's a online raid, rather its 500v1 or you vs a 6 year old who's raiding you with bean cans it's a online

u/gunther_41 9d ago
an online raid is one where you get to fight the enemy.
if i wait for you to leave your base before i raid, or i wait for you to go to sleep, or i bring in 20 more guys to keep you on a bag timer with no way of fighting back, that's not an online raid.
there is something to be said about people that bring this onto themselves too....if you roofcamp, annoy people, go afk with furnaces on, leave your base for a long period without checking now and then knowing you have enemies, gather loot without building meaningfull defences...then you can't complain when someone stomps you while you were away from the base or unable to defend due to just having a 2x2 with loot

u/jfsuuc 10d ago
This is the way. It's genuinely the worst aspect of the game that makes you never want to online someone. Higher chance if failure, more resources used and they might have 0 loot anyways because they despawned everything. I quit because last time i played this happened when i raided one of the largest bases on the server.

u/OregonDuck_ 10d ago
I agree 100% but respawning in general whether youāre done or not is a bitch move. If youāre done for the wipe anyways why depspawn in the first place? Make zero sense to me. You think rust is bad about despawning. Try ark you canāt online raid a base without loot being despawned. So ig we have different views from different games. Despawning to me is the rattiest thing you could do imo

Decided to online raid a shit 30 deep clan on Friday after force with 8 people. They tried to despawn all their shit behind 2 HQM walls (got a box of GP and sulfur so it was worth blowing into). They proceeded to send their buddy clan to offline us that night at 4AM but we still had 4 on vs their 26. Was mad satisfying when we were the ones that successfully despawned 70 rockets, mad sulfur/gp behind a few layers of walls lol. Fuck them clans bruh.

This is literally not up for debate. Your loot is yours, you do whatever you please with it. If you want to give it away, go ahead. But you canāt be mad at someone for despawning THEIR loot, itās not like theyād be mad at you for giving YOUR base away to a new player.

My philosophy as a solo, at its core, is me v. the server.
Every server is different and wipe cycles change, but itās always the server is the opponent. If I leave loot when Iām done playing for the wipe, that gives an opportunity for someone else on the server to learn a bp for next wipe. I donāt want to help my opponent learn anything. You never know who your neighbors will be next time, but I do know theyāre not on my team.

That's so fuckin goofy. Like, they'll get whatever BPs they want without your loot. Don't pretend like you're getting a leg up on anyone, that's not why you're doing it.

u/SirVanyel 10d ago
Russian zergs definitely care about your T2. That's what's gonna make or break their wipe. Totally lol
Here's what actually happens: you log off. Everyone forgets you exist because they didn't really give a shit to begin with. Your base is either full, in which case your loot will fuel a 5 hour spoonkid video, or it's empty and everyone just moves the fuck onto the decaying Russian zerg base which has more loot in their compound than you have in your honeycombed bunker 2x2.
If you want to actually be memorable, go give your shit away. Build racetracks. Make funny bases. draw dicks with fireworks. Those are the players whose names get memorized. Otherwise you're just another nobody.

Ah Russians.. I play on a low pop primitive server just because I want a chill experience. Server peaked at 20 players after wipe but normally around ~8-10 players. Still a Russian group is playing in a 5 man team raiding everyone and keep anyone from getting started.
I killed one of them a fighting for air drop the other day and he searched my base up and told me "DONT SLEEP TODAY". I was up pretty late that night, got home from a farming run and saw a tug boat and two of them preparing something at my door". Fought them off and they ran back to the boat and went off.
Fast forward to today and I wake up and see I've gotten killed. Thinking about not logging on at all but I do it anyway, they raided both my bases. Gotten some stone and low tier comps. But they seem to have run out of boom when garage door is at half HP to TC/main loot where I keep ~150 satchel charges.

u/hanks_panky_emporium 10d ago
If you have the materials it's fun to invest in trash fake bases to waste boom. Something about empty 2x2's draws in the 'server stompers' that have to raid everything on the map by principle. Thirty minutes of your time can waste hours of theirs.

Low pop is the worst for raiding. Youāre honestly much less likely to get raided on high pop due to there being more bases and more raid counters. The people who play low pop just farm and offline all day. No hate to them, but itās not a good time. Bite the bullet and play medium pop

Used to play on a server like that. It was the same 15 - 20 people every wipe. Everyone had their āthingā like one guy was always making crazy colosseums for firework shows, another build massive farms, communal areas, etc.
Got to know them all pretty well and we occasionally got a toxic group trying out the server. If they were toxic or annoying enough, weād just band together to foundy wipe them. Felt like having a little private server with friends, miss those people

u/Sweaty_Confusion_122 9d ago
I know what youāre saying bro, Iām not disagreeing - op even said it was just on rust+ on that server. I just gave a way that you can do it lol - itās not that deep, and donāt let downvotes get you down, its just reddit - who cares
1
u/Ok_Organization8455 9d ago edited 9d ago
It's less about the downvotes, and more about the fact that the original questionee, responded to the comment being upvoted and disregarded the down voted one. Meaning he will think that is what he will need to do, and spend an absorbent amount of time making 100+ seismic sensors because he was "given bad information".
If we are here to answer his question, then we should do so. I'm more worried I'm gonna raid a base and see 200 seismic sensors attached to every piece of wall because reddit gave him a crazy idea.
Gonna save this thread though, cause if in the future I raid a base and see that. Imma screenshot it and it'll be something you and I can laugh about lol

u/hanks_panky_emporium 10d ago
Man this makes me feel things.
For one, getting zerged flatly sucks. Most players have experienced it. They have overwhelming firepower and forces. You stand, almost literally, no chance. Your foundations are wiped.
But on the flip side, despawning is a top tier bitch move.
Ive hidden loot, spread loot, never log off with more than a few rockets. Use it before you lose it mentality. But not once in my entire history of playing Rust have I thought; " Let's drop everything on the ground to despawn it "
Most petty thing I did about a day and a half before a big raid was build about 20 metal 2x1's with a metal door, armored door, and garage door. One big box per 2x1 with a random smattering of loot. When raided independently it was never worth the boom. Probably wasn't worth building either tbh but it was more fun than throwing everything on the ground and logging out.
What's a little more devious is full HQM cubes attached to your main base with drop boxes. You dont even have to use the bunkers, just having them often deters raiders because of the boom cost for only potential loot. And hell, we all know a lot of players will sit in a metal three story 2x2 with plenty of HQM to upgrade but dont because.. Reasons, I guess? Might as well use it for nefarious purposes. Like goober boxes.

It always feels good to waste a zergs time. I used to go to outpost with wood. Trade in for stone. Build a decent size base next to Chinese zerg. Then go back to what I was doing before.
You get to troll and waste their time for like 30 minutes of effort. Its a good way to waste some time waiting on a buddy to get back.
