Expand the team system to allow a group of neigbours to agree to not shit where they eat.

The problem nost people complain about is Kill on sight. Makiing neigbours able to MUTUALLY tag each other as non-KoS would help this problem a lot. Rather than the green circle for teammates there should be an amber triangle or blue hand (waving) symbol depending on what looks better in game. Of course you wouldnt be able to see them on thr map like your teammates.

I think it would also lead to memorable community moments, where half the server temporaliy allies to take out that 50man zerg that thinks they are invincible, or that one clan in each server that just cant stop shittalking.

This could possibly add life the to late game of the wipe when seevrrs start to die. The smaller groups in an area could coorinate better (avoid killing each other accidentally) while battleing the area’s bully group which would be far too big/defended/honeycombed for any of them to take on themselves. As opposed to just thinking this wipe is over for them and playing a different game until the wipe rolls around.

If we were to take this even further:

In addition to having a team chat channel, there could also be an allied chat channel for helping mutual defence/counters or for letting each other know of roaming gangs in the area.

I’d like to see ehat happens in a rust where little villages form in clusters around each clearing, valley or beachhead giving even solo or duo players a chance to see larger group pvp while still living and farming independently and not having to commit to a clan.
