We deserve better

[sage briar]

Re-Align Launch Expectations

So let me get this straight you’re calling this “early access,” but only some players actually get early access, while others are stuck waiting or double-buying just to play with their friends?

That’s not early access. That’s a paid inconvenience.

If the launch isn’t going to be aligned across platforms, then stop advertising it as a shared experience. Either delay it for everyone or fix the upgrade path before flipping the switch. The current rollout feels rushed, sloppy, and completely dismissive of PlayStation players.

We waited. We paid. Now we’re left out while others get a head start.

This should’ve been planned better and if not, you need to own it, fix it, and make it right. Not with $5 in coins, but with actual access or real value.

[daring mesa]

On ps not them

[inland pollen]

You also should be arguing with Sony about their anti consumer store policies

D11 can’t fix a trash policies some CEO from across the world made thinking there players would lay back and take it

[sage briar]

They should’ve figured this out months ago, not 24 hours before launch. Sony’s store policies are trash, sure,but they’ve always been trash. If you’re launching on their platform, plan for it. Don’t make players pay for your lack of prep.

[inland pollen]

D11 has spent the last month try to make it work, they told you that, you choose not to listen they never gave you a promise, they said they’d try their best to make it happen

[sage briar]

You’re on Xbox, why are you even commenting? This doesn’t affect you, so maybe sit this one out while PlayStation players deal with the mess.

[gilded cave]

Sony has had that policy forever this is on d11

[signal anchor]

[inland pollen]

You mean while yall raise hell at the wrong people?
No d11 has went out of their way to genuinely try their hardest to repair their community over the years, they very much so ran it into the dirt during year 1 and 2 but they’d worked tirelessly to rebuild rust console into a respectable game. why would I sit back and watch some ungrateful people raise absolute hell about not getting a freebie, that they wanted to give you but PlayStation denied it

[buoyant turret]

I find it embarassing that people that paid 80 dollars for the ultimate have to upgrade it to the 40 dollars version this cant be fair at all

[next canyon]

they wanted to pay

hahaha

[buoyant turret]

If they bought ps4 ultimate at launch they should get to ps5 ultimate aswell but instead they get something 50% cheaper as a "free upgrade" and xbox has it all sorted out

[inland pollen]

You paid for it ages ago when rust was just rust no new gen, you payed rhat price for old gen rust, d11 never had to give yall a free upgrade but they did, they also wanted to give yall early access which they openly tried to do, but PlayStation finally gave them the last word

[royal bear]

I love the way this guys defending this bs but if it was Xbox he’d be crying to

[sage briar]

How do you know how hard they tried? None of us are behind the scenes, but what we do know is this could have been addressed before launch week. I’m not asking for a freebie. I’m saying if one platform is locked out while the other plays early, then push the launch and make it fair.

Some of us have been here since beta. We’ve stuck through thick and thin, but we’ve also seen a pattern of last-minute delays, broken promises, and half-explained setbacks. This isn’t about being ungrateful. It’s about holding devs accountable when the same issues keep happening

[inland pollen]

Yeah at Microsoft not d11

[unborn saddle]

I tend to agree with a lot of your points but I feel no animosity towards the devs for it, I blame Sony and I’m honestly completely fine if Xbox gets the early access and we don’t but… if Xbox players get monthly’s during said “early access” then I find that ridiculous, I wanna jam with my Xbox mates not have ps only servers

[buoyant turret]

No but the xbox users get the upgrade to the version they own, and ps5 users have to spend 80 dollars just for new gen (ultimate) this couldve been easily avoided it they just planned it and read the policies

[royal bear]

Think people would be less upset if we got saink decent for the delay 500 RC is like £2.00

[unborn saddle]

To make up for the fact they’ll have bps tho it’s not a huge issue regardless

[sage briar]

To be honest, they’ll probably re-wipe next week that’s what they did during early access when the game first came out with no warning and then they’re just gonna piss all the Xbox players off to make it even

[unborn saddle]

I’m good with that, still pretty sad but less so 🤷

[inland pollen]

Bps aren’t even a problem if we get regular monthly’s at launch sure it will give us an advantage next wipe but it’s not like it will genuinely hurt yall, on official you could easily tech tree majority of t2 guns and base stuff in less than 2 hours

[buoyant turret]

And the thing thats pissing me off even more is the fact that people that owned ultimate ps4 (80 dollars) get 5 dollars worth of credits while they get the standard edition (40 dollars)

[unborn saddle]

I mentioned that and I agree but it’s annoying you know what it’s like to have bow against Tommy’s day 1 even if it’s only for a couple hours

[inland pollen]

Tbh most of those players will screw off to a community server at launch if they are ready to go

[unborn saddle]

That’s a complete assumption… oce has bum all servers and they don’t fill

[inland pollen]

That’s because OCE has such a small player base but I tend to meet a lot of OCE players choosing to play on EU instead so it’s not like it’s that big of a deal

[marble cargo]

Honestly hilarious watching this all unfold

Its pixels on a screen I promise its not that deep

[unborn saddle]

I get the sentiment but we really should start fresh on launch as you said bps aren’t a big deal so make everyone start miserable

[lament depot]

Honestly not a bad idea

[patent dew]

Exactly what the sony guy said happened and all the mods acted like it was misinformation

[royal bear]

Yet ur in this discord watching locals 😂😂😂😂

[desert sentinel]

Does anyone know if I have to re buy the game again withoight discount if I have base rust withoight the tool pack

[inland pollen]

Tbh wouldn’t make a difference official only had 4-5 super active servers on old gen and I don’t doubt it will be the same here once communities return

[marble cargo]

I am watching it and having a great time, all you crying because you can’t play a game a week early

[inland pollen]

Per region of course

[marble cargo]

Actually peak content

[sage briar]

Bottom line is Double Eleven failed early access the first time and they’re doing it again. When Rust Console first launched, they gave us early access then completely wiped all the servers a week later without telling anyone. That move burned a lot of players.

Now here we are again. Another early release and it’s another mess. You would think they would have learned from the backlash the first time, but apparently not. This isn’t about freebies or handouts. It’s about clear communication and respecting the players who have been here from the start.

[lament depot]

Let players have the chance to use everything and have their fun and then officially start it the 26th it's only fsir

[sage briar]

Again, if the shoe was on the other foot, you would be doing the same thing as a Xbox player

[marble cargo]

Personally I wouldn’t, ima be on for 1 day of early access before going away for a week, so it honestly wouldn’t bother me at all

[sage briar]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-air-quotes-gif-15372542988520135708

[marble cargo]

I’d still be laughing at Xbox players freaking out that they won’t get to hit a virtual barrel with a virtual rock a week early

[inland pollen]

Once again nah not really if this happened on Xbox we’d be going after Microsoft until they fix it, yk… because Microsoft actually makes changes we ask for

[unborn saddle]

Exactly how I feel, I’ve waited years I can wait another week but to start as if I joined haftway through a monthly is crazy to me 😭

For my first experience ? Nah

[marble cargo]

Bros been waiting years for a game not announced until 3 months ago

[patent dew]

Weak ass 500 rust coins

[unborn saddle]

For the game to improve ? Yes… yes I have

[marble cargo]

Peak, I’ll let you know what server I’m on and give you a start x

[inland pollen]

Bro gets free coins for a game he bout 4 years ago and still finds a way to complain

[marble cargo]

Ngl that’s most of the RCE community, they find something to complain about all the time

[unborn saddle]

Nah bro has game yo

[upbeat mantle]

💯cheap company like I paid more then 5 dollars

[inland pollen]

They cried for new gen for years and now all they do is cry about it and call it trash

[unborn saddle]

Some do, not all.

[marble cargo]

Fr, the same people who begged for this will complain that there ain’t bigger maps or more monuments on release

[patent dew]

Rather have what the game said i was getting instead we get 5$ worth of coins when we payed way more for unlimited edition

[inland pollen]

Those some are exactly why main chat gets a slow mode when they make announcements

[unborn saddle]

Haha your actually spot on

[marble cargo]

I mean the only thing you won’t get is the 7 day early access, you will still get the additional coins for the pack you upgraded to, g door skin, full metal skin and l9 skin if you upgraded to ultimate

[eternal sedge]

Honestly it's less than ideal. I'd be happy with ditching the early access and bringing it forward. I upgraded to show support for finally listening to the playerbase.

[unborn saddle]

Good take lowk

[gilded cave]

We still get that?

[patent dew]

Xbox players just happy they get a head start 😂

[inland pollen]

I just can’t stand it sometimes people are really getting upset about not getting to play a brand new game early that they didn’t even pay for, yall payed for rust not the new game, our beloved crust dusty crappy rust. You paid for it years ago, they don’t owe us a free anything yet they still tried to give it to us

[marble cargo]

If you’d read the announcement properly then you’d know that lmao

[gilded cave]

Thats the only reason i had to be upset could care less ab early access

[marble cargo]

They said you will still receive all the other benefits, just not early access

[gilded cave]

Didnt care to read it i knew this was coming since yesterday got leaked some screen shots

[royal bear]

They should just release the game for tomorrow for everyone and ditch the “early access “

[marble cargo]

Not even bro, I’m on for 1 day then not back till the 27th, literally makes no difference to me

[lament depot]

I think i posted a completely fair solution

[sage briar]

They won’t. I would bet money D11 re wipes next week

[gilded cave]

They need it some shit cans over there

[patent dew]

They owe us a free upgrade for the shit old gen we had to play for 2 years too long

[inland pollen]

YOY CHOOSE TO BUY IT that’s literally on you

[royal bear]

If the game got full release tomo no one woould complain let be honest

[marble cargo]

They’ve already said they are gonna put up more ps only servers, so that’s highly unlikely

[patent dew]

Nerds meat riding d11

[unborn saddle]

Come on gang we need a better game let’s not pray for it’s downfall cos we gotta wait 7 days that’s so wild 😭

[lament depot]

If yoy were playstation youd be upset also lets not lie to ourselves not a good look pal

[patent dew]

Bought something and not getting what i paid

[marble cargo]

I’ve watched the same people who begged for minis and more transport complain about not getting trains on release for new gen, people would complain

[sage briar]

No one is praying for a downfall

[marble cargo]

The only thing you ain’t getting is early access

[patent dew]

Whole point

[inland pollen]

I would but not to d11 id complain to Sony, I’d round up all of my fellow players and we’d mass contact Sony over the situation and voice our outrage

I wouldn’t sit here crying to d11 over something they don’t have final say over

[patent dew]

They had a whole month to deal with this and couldn’t lazy devs

[inland pollen]

You must be new around here

[marble cargo]

Yea it’s wild the way people are going for D11 when it’s Sonys idiotic policies

[sharp arch]

They do fill ya drone 💀

[lament depot]

A big ah company isnt going to listen, they're delaying it on purpose to capitalise on the early access however D11 shouldve come up with a different solution that would allow FAIRNESS no?

[patent dew]

🤓

[unborn saddle]

Oh yeah all of them aye 🤓 you drop kick

Knows fk all…

[inland pollen]

Fairness can’t be achieved when Sony is being greedy for the last month they’ve been trying to make it happen but Sony refused

[sage briar]

When servers all re wipe next week I wonder how mad the early access Xbox players will be…

[marble cargo]

They’ve been trying to deal with it, but let’s be honest, a billion dollar company isn’t gonna change its policy for some guys in Middlesbrough

[sharp arch]

Nice pic bra

[quartz flint]

And how do you know this 😭😭😭

[patent dew]

They couldnt even fix the discount for ps

[inland pollen]

Not at all, I’ll be chilling on a 3x laughing at you for thinking being mad at Xbox solves your stores policies

[lament depot]

Do you even read I didnt blame D11 i just said they should've came up for a fair solution for both player bases, it's a one way ticket to secluding your playerbase.

[inland pollen]

The announcements channel? Are you good bro

[unborn saddle]

Yeah tell me more

[marble cargo]

Knew I made the right choice 15 years ago

[sharp arch]

Oce servers fill

[tough stump]

Bro plays 3x get good lmao

[sharp arch]

Need more

[inland pollen]

Same my trusty 360 started it all

[quartz flint]

Are you good you believe them saying it’s Sonys fault whej they had plenty of time to try fix it

[unborn saddle]

Community gng not official… official has que lad

[marble cargo]

Fr, ps is chopped

[patent dew]

Switching to xbox

[sharp arch]

Yeah because that shit is laggy who tf wants to play that

[inland pollen]

Clearly you are a drone for Sony bro they can’t ever do wrong right? Enjoy TLOU remastered, the remastered edition of the remaster.

[marble cargo]

How long is plenty of time tho, like you say it as if Sony was gonna just change its policy for some blokes in the north of England because they said please

[unborn saddle]

That’s what I was saying to bro 😭

He told us to play eu 💀

[tough stump]

Enjoy Gears of War ts ass

[inland pollen]

Lmao you have gears too now you big dummy

[sage briar]

Let’s be clear. I’m here for my community. I have both Xbox and PlayStation. I could play tomorrow if I wanted. But that’s not the point. I just want Double Eleven to do better and stop repeating the same mistakes over and over.

[lament depot]

Console wars is genuinely pathetic, we just want fair compensation 500 RC coins isnt going to fix the 60 quid some people spent

[tough stump]

Still stemmed from your fridge looking console

“You big dummy”

[inland pollen]

Then make Sony change, fight the real enemy not the easiest

[inland pollen]

I’m sorry bro at least we get sequels and not yearly remasters

[languid cedar]

That’s a low blow 😂

[tough stump]

Acting as if I care about platform exclusives what do we even have? Bloodborne 😭

[lament depot]

I guarantee half the player base is minimum 13 and console wars is what we're resorting to win an argument is genuinely pathetic

[inland pollen]

We don’t have exclusives anymore dawg idc about them yall the ones still playing this gatekeeping bs for no reason

[sage briar]

Sony’s policies suck, no doubt. But Double Eleven chose to launch on their platform. That means it’s their responsibility to plan around those limitations and communicate clearly with players. Blaming Sony doesn’t erase poor planning or repeated mistakes. Both can be true.

[inland pollen]

Xbox is giving you every exclusive by the end of 26 bro

[unborn saddle]

I say all Xbox players have to give ps players a start on launch 😤 @inland pollen that means you too buddy

[tough stump]

Spiderman god of war tlou are all dogshit anyways

So is Bloodborne without its dlc

[inland pollen]

Sure I’ll have a drone shop 300 sulf Tommy/sar 150 sulf ammos

[sage briar]

It will all be wiped

[gilded cave]

All good just gonna take it from em

[icy flicker]

If you want a smooth wipe play the new ps only servers on the 26th were all of us will have to start up

[brave sage]

D11 can keep theirs 500 RC. I take that as an insult after waiting for 4 years

[unborn saddle]

Hahaha so real

[sage briar]

4 years?

[marble cargo]

Bro, how have you been waiting for new gen since the og came out

[unborn saddle]

Damn I thought I was bad bros been dying for it 😭

[sharp arch]

Who hasn’t?

[tough stump]

Why are we calling it og when it’s been 4 years 😭

[brave sage]

This game needed to be Launch on a ps5 version !

[inland pollen]

Apparently he expected rust (that realsed during new gen scalper season) to start off as a new gen exclusive, so the 20 people who owned an X or a 5 could play

[tough stump]

Agreed

[marble cargo]

Fr

Everyone’s upset they won’t get to farm the roads for 7 days

[lunar drift]

Bro they should give more rc than 500 are nothing

[tough stump]

It’s not that, to me atleast it’s the principle of the whole situation

[inland pollen]

500 can buy you one item from a bundle it’s not that bad bro

[marble cargo]

They are giving you 500 rc just because you can’t play 7 days early

[vestal iris]

D11 u suck

[tough stump]

That’s dogshit compared to a full week early access

[inland pollen]

Cope

[inland pollen]

Respectfully, womp womp you still get a free game

[vestal iris]

They can blame sony all they want to but in the end it's all their fault. Its THEIR GAME.

[tough stump]

Easy for you to say

[marble cargo]

I get that, but you are mad at d11 who tried to get it sorted but a multi national, billion dollar company wouldn’t bend there policy for them

[remote seal]

Just because it’s their game doesn’t mean they can control issues with PS side of things

[inland pollen]

It’s even easier when you learn I only payed $9 for the new gen access 🤓

[vestal iris]

@inland pollen womp womp I just paid 130 bucks 2 weeks ago to get early access specifically😑

Complete BS

[inland pollen]

Did you pay old or new rust?

[marble cargo]

How 💀

[inland pollen]

If you pre ordered new rust you still get to play it tomorrow bro

[vestal iris]

Bought old gen ultimate bc they said we'd get the ps5 ultimate for free and get the early access

[inland pollen]

That sounds so stupid

[tough stump]

Have you launched the game?

[marble cargo]

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

[vestal iris]

I have 4000 hours of game shared time so I bought old gen to get the skins and coins😭

[marble cargo]

Why wouldn’t you just buy the new gen ultimate

[brave sage]

I’d love to see how Xbox players would react if they found out they’re not getting the 7-day early access either.

[tough stump]

They’d be crying and shoving batteries up their ass or whatever it is those twinks do

[inland pollen]

Bro I know I could just buy the pre order but I’d rather just upgrade old rust knowing they haven’t guaranteed an upgrade path and have actively warned us of it

[marble cargo]

For me, wouldn’t care, the community as a whole, same as you, which would be equally hilarious, but fortunately Xbox and Microsoft don’t have ass policy

[tough stump]

Xbox controllers look like someone with a lazy eye 😭

[marble cargo]

Fr

[inland pollen]

Enjoy arthritis by 30 with those synced joysticks

[marble cargo]

And yet are still more ergonomic and more comfortable to play with

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo I didn't own the base game at all so buying the ps4 ultimate which gave me twice the amount of coins and skins, plus the new gen ultimate coins and skins was definitely the smarter choice

[marble cargo]

I’ve seen more ps players use Xbox style 3rd party controllers than the other way round is all I’m saying

[vestal iris]

It still was technically, until now bc they are ripping us off

[tough stump]

Straight symmetrical joysticks>>> goofy lazy eyed looking joysticks

[inland pollen]

So you’re just greedy? You still get the game for free just now early access stop crying

[marble cargo]

You ain’t even getting ripped off

[inland pollen]

Ergonomic joysticks*^

[tough stump]

You’ll never catch me using sum like that

[torn zephyr]

Does anyone know will ps players get a discount to upgrading editions on release day?

[tough stump]

Okay smartass

[inland pollen]

It will just show up as a discount

[marble cargo]

Bro read the announcement lmao

[tough stump]

Holy broke either buy it or don’t

[marble cargo]

You ain’t getting sht

[inland pollen]

He’s broke yet your crying over not getting a handout

[vestal iris]

@inland pollen greedy... are u ok? Calling me greedy bc i wanted more for less is crazy. Its called being smart buddy😂😂

[tough stump]

Because it’s what was said

[marble cargo]

How’s being smart going for ya

[torn zephyr]

I dont think you understood my question what i meant was will i be able to upgrade from standard to deluxe at a discounted price?

[inland pollen]

Not smart enough you knew it was a gamble and you lost it lol now wait a week so you have 9k coins

[tough stump]

Did you or did you not get the handout? @inland pollen

[inland pollen]

By then the shop will refresh with good stuff Yk launch day shop is gonna be ass

[marble cargo]

What handout

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo unfortunately very bad bc d11 is doing something unheard of in the gaming industry. LITERALLY UNHEARD OF

[tough stump]

I paid for what I should have gotten on launch smh not my fault D11 is ass

[marble cargo]

D11 don’t control what sony do lmao

[inland pollen]

I got mine for $9 lmao

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo they rushed this whole process. Its their fault.

[tough stump]

Yeah shitty gamepass

[inland pollen]

Cope

[tough stump]

Crazy that you don’t own a single game 😭

[marble cargo]

Rushed what process 💀

[inland pollen]

I do lmao stay mad

[brave sage]

D11 can control RCE and give a start for All at the same date

[marble cargo]

They’ve been working on it for months/years

[tough stump]

You don’t own rust I do 🤷‍♂️

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo next gen release🤡

[inland pollen]

It’s not on gamepass lmao I own rust and I OWN NEW GEN lmao

[vestal iris]

0/10 rage bait

[marble cargo]

Hardly rushed, they announced it 3 months ago and would have been working on it long before then, and what’s more time gonna do? Give Sony another day to say “we ain’t changing our policy for you”

[tough stump]

So how’d you get it for whatever price u said earlier

[marble cargo]

The store has the upgrade options

[inland pollen]

Because our store didn’t gatekeep d11s upgrade path 😂🫵

[tough stump]

So you’re broke and needed the upgrade path?

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo if they knew this was possibility from the get go then they shouldn't have given ps players completely false promises

[tough stump]

I preordered ultimate the moment it was available 💀

[inland pollen]

Nah I ain’t broke I just wasn’t gonna pay for new rust and didn’t care much for it until I heard it was gonna be free, I quit playing rust a while ago and wasn’t gonna come back

[marble cargo]

Maybe it wasn’t the case? Maybe they were told by Sony it’s something that could be worked out but Sony decided nah we ain’t bought that no mo

[tough stump]

But you still bought the standard version of rust originally

[inland pollen]

Yep I pre ordered old rust to play the beta

[tough stump]

💀💀💀

[marble cargo]

Either way, you are literally losing nothing, you still get all the perks of ultimate, the rc, skins, test branch, you just can’t play it 7 days early

[inland pollen]

I still hate that they changed the metal chest plate icon the pc one looked better imo

[charred dew]

I have a question guys, someone please answer if I bought the ultimate version will I still have the skins and rc after the 26th, so after the upgrade?

[inland pollen]

Yes

[marble cargo]

Yes

[charred dew]

even though I bought it on ps4 ?

[marble cargo]

The only thing you won’t get is early access, you get the rc, skins, test branch, plus an additional 500rc, so depending on edition you got either 1600 or 4700 rc

[inland pollen]

Yes

[vestal iris]

@marble cargo the audacity to give us 500 rust coins is also just insane. We deserve more😑

[marble cargo]

Yes, read the announcement it is all detailed in there

[charred dew]

Okay thx guys

[brave sage]

We are not exited by the #📌announcements @obsidian oracle plz read PlayStation users reacts

[inland pollen]

They guys are outraged over 7 days of waiting for a “rushed game” as they are calling it lmao

[marble cargo]

Fr

Crazy times, I’d understand the outrage if they didn’t get the skins and other stuff but all this over 7 days

[inland pollen]

Exactly 7 glitchy laggy days of us Xbox users stress testing new gen

[karmic owl]

bro what if it were the other way around u guys would be the same

[marble cargo]

Yea bro, it’s just gonna be glitchy and buggy before the week 1 patch

[charred dew]

I already read it this is the only point I didn't understand because the French translation wasn't good.

[inland pollen]

Nah I’d just complain to Microsoft then keep playing old rust and using that week to practice prim pvp for wipe day

[karmic owl]

ik it’s prob gonna be ass but i still wanna play

[marble cargo]

I see, that’s fair enough mate, but yes, you will get everything like coins and stuff. Just not early access

[karmic owl]

fax bro

[marble cargo]

I wouldn’t care cuz ima be fishing for 6 of the 7 early access days

[inland pollen]

If your on ps lock in with them cross and bow servers this week so you can grub at locked

And don’t forget bone arrows in a crossy are absolutely lethal

[marble cargo]

Atleast there will be plenty of vendys on the map

[inland pollen]

Fax they won’t need to tech tree we will have everything for sale lmao we are doing the road farming for them

It’s gonna be fun regardless as an Xbox player even if it’s a buggy and glitchy mess I’m still gonna be enjoying it. My best wipes were during 2022 aka the glitchiest year of rust console

[marble cargo]

Exactly bro

[inland pollen]

And let’s be real who cares if it wipes on the 26th most of us don’t stay on one wipe for 7 days we enjoy fast paced wipes 2-3 days max

[grave anvil]

I told you I wasn’t lying

[daring mesa]

Its on ps not them

[gilded cave]

You did

[grave anvil]

Anyways, the news is out now see

We’re happy to confirm that players who own Rust Console Edition on PlayStation 4 will be able to claim a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version. However, due to platform-specific limitations, the upgrade will only become available on the full release date, June 26.

[gilded cave]

@proud nacelle is a good dude and apologized for closing our threads so dont be mean
