Why did Softcore Fail? (Rust)
In February 2021, Facepunch Studios released a new game mode for their survival game Rust they called Softcore following a large amount of controversy that came packaged with a massive spike in popularity. The idea was for those upset with the game's immense difficulty and time/energy demands to play on softcore where their issues would be largely watered down while still maintaining pvp in the experience unlike pve servers.
Almost 4 years later, and it has become apparent that this idea has likely not met the desired outcome with most servers using the game mode not reaching anywhere near the player counts vanilla servers see.
In this video, I explore all the changes the Softcore gamemode makes to the Rust experience. I take a look at how it effects raiding, PVP, the Reclaim Terminal, and more! I explain why these changes have not made players happy, and how I intend to use the Softcore game mode in a way that will in the server I am planning on creating! I also briefly talk about the Hardcore gamemode, but not in as much detail.

Why are PVE Rust Servers so Unpopular?

Rust is a very difficult survival game to play that demands a lot of your time and attention to master; this is a big driving factor in why a noteworthy portion of the community is seen as toxic. A lot of people do not like this and wish to play the game differently from the Vanilla experience of constantly being killed, raided, and losing all your stuff. So, people have created PVE Servers for...

      Well, it’s part of a series, but yes the goal of it is to advertise my upcoming server so it doesn’t launch with a 0 pop. Given that a hosting service will cost me real money, I believe it is reasonable to ensure that if I were to launch a Rust server, people would actually play it.

    As somebody that does play on softcore I have over 2000 hours and I plan on the servers because my life gets busy outside of rust and there are many other people that play on these types of servers that have way more than 2000 hours. We plan on the servers, because we actually have other things that we need to take care of the life, jobs school and more, but we still want to play the game. Not having to put in all the time and hours with all the same aspects. That made rust fun at the beginning. I did plan on official service, and I did really love it, but sometimes life doesn’t always go as planned. And you just have to stop for a bit, but you also just wanna keep playing, so these servers are good for that as well as teaching, new players to play

    End of wipe should have the raid block off, if the server is going to wipe then what is the point of keeping your base? I would love to check it out when it goes online although I have to agree with @dinoonrr3784 though, the thrill of raiding is the profit, if the server gets reverted and you lose all the profit then what was the point? No one would ever farm for rockets. Also what if I was new and built a base during purge? Would my base disappear? Would my loot?

    with 100% inventory saved, whats stopping someone from grabbing that heli crate when your not looking and you never being able to get it back. also whats the point of having raiding days if the server is going to be reverted, the thrill of raiding comes from the possible profit you can make, but without that whats the incentive?

    • @Claudehopper
      @Claudehopper 2 години тому

      Both very good questions. Yeah it is going to suck having scenarios like that happening where you sneak your way past the player to yoink the crate without them being able to fight for it back. If I were to make my own survival game, I would solve this problem by implementing a Reclaim Timer where items in your inventory won't get reclaimed until X minutes of being in your inventory. However, because this is a Rust server I'm planning, I will have to work within the limitations of what Rust allows me to do. Unless someone comes up with a magical plugin, the only thing really stopping such scenarios would be your situational awareness. I do not agree that the ONLY thrill of raiding is the profit you gain from it. The sheer enjoyment of the raiding experience itself is enough in my opinion to make it worthwhile; that's why some people enjoy playing Rust Bedwars. Think about it. Why does making a profit after raiding feel so thrilling? It's because that profit enables you to do more cool stuff. Though I will admit making a profit does add an extra layer of excitement, which would be lost in my proposed system. As a compromise, I could have some purges where I don't turn it off. For example, if it were a weekly server, with wipe day on Sunday, I could have a purge period every night where it resets afterwards as described, but on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday, it won't reset.

  • @jitteryjet7525

    I sometimes think Rust has no right being as popular as it is, it truely is a mystery. Players will queue up for an hour (or pay a subscription) to get on some bloated, laggy, overpopulated server which you just know is going to be full of Cheaters and people who should not be let near the Internet without supervision. The lack of game balance is obvious, a few servers get the majority of Players. And a couple of days after Wipe Day the landscape is littered with abandoned and decaying bases.

This would encourage even more doorcamping and roofcamping. The game is filled with players who refuse to or barely leave their base but the no bags idea would make it so much worse. Spawn beach would be FILLED with bases, no one would explore the map.

Really my point is Rust cannot be called a Survival game if it has resurrection. So my idea of a vanilla server is respawn at the beach. Fortnite-type combat with resurrection can be an option on Combat servers.

I think you creating your own vision of an SCP game would be as fun of an experience as SL, how certain aspects have been left up to reader's interperetation make SCPs special, and I'd be interested in another perspectiv of SCP gameplay. While I wouldn't say the femur breaker was a beloved feature, I never thought about the fact that there are so little Special Containment procedures in the game, and now I can understand why someone might feel bummed about its removal. I'm a sucker for individual SCP experiences, and I can't wait to see what you cook up. Keep up the good work!

      Although rust definitely has a negative reputation around its player base it is a really good starting off point for creating many different experiences. ( coming from someone who has previously owned and operated a server). Something that I personally believe would also have a lot of potential and maybe a broader audience would be creating a game within Fortnite using unreal engine or creating an experience in Roblox ( which you can charge money for). Both of which would require no server upkeep costs and have large communities around them that can help you achieve the experience you want. Both also have built in graphics that are way batter than the clips of your own game that you see there, they both have integrated voice chat ( something very important to the rust experience), and both aren’t too difficult to learn.

Plus, i think if u liked palworld, you should try out legends arceus, that is if you end up getting a switch. The point abt you not wanting to buy a switch to play the known to be bad pokemon games, i totally agree with you on that.
