i can't even enjoyably read about this game anymore, these generals are legitimately the only place on the internet where the game isn't being shamelessly astroturfed by useful idiots

Every time my friend gets in my assault thopter, they cant get out. So far the only solution is they quit and rejoin the game, anyone had this before? I gave them associate status and co-owner but nothing changed.

>>529245689
let them be the one who owns it - have them deconstruct then rebuild it from the chassis up and then they put you on the permission tab
>that's not a fix
you try rebuilding it then, most of the weirdness has been solved by 'unplug and plug back in' solutions like this for our group

>>529245902
Dismantling the cockpit worked thanks anon

>>529243296
what the fuck are you talking about you retarded nigger? i just checked and there's no shortage of posts complaining about chinks doing their usual chink shit

>>529245689
I have a similar but different problem with my friend's assault - if I'm in the copilot seat everything works fine, but if I'm in one of the passenger seats, I first have to swap seats to pilot or copilot before I can get out.

>auction house now lets pve players skip the deep desert as intended
Whiny fucks didn't even wait for it to get going.

>>529246861
you will find no shortage of outrage addicted retards here

>>529246432
ive had success by swapping to the pilot or co-pilot seat before getting out.

>>529251336
>censorship criticism over tangible, observable and very real things

absolutely european behavior. ignore the problem and it goes away, right?

>>529251709
so why'd you ignore the other anon who said that you can clearly see they aren't actually banning every single poster on sight who mentions cheating?

i wish the sandbike didn't get left behind in purpose
gimme unique treads that have fuck-all worm detection or something, put a dart turret on the back or some kind of thumper-deployer you can do while moving, anything really
it doesn't even make a good corpse wagon since you can only hold 3 bodies before its at capacity, i havent even seen a storage upgrade for it beyond mk2 while the buggy gets like 20 different versions

>>529253347
>some kind of thumper-deployer you can do while moving
Now I'm picturing someone on a sandbike tearing across the sand with Shai-Hulud in hot pursuit

Hello doonsluts, about 65 hours in now and beaten the story (as much as you can since they didn't even finish it before release seemingly!) and this is definitely the best game of this type I've played. I watched the 2 new films about a week before release and it got me really interested in playing so I'm glad I bought in.

I wanted to post a picture of my base here but the local retard in my street must have been spamming again or something because I'm once again image banned.

>>529253620
exactly
i know this wasn't really explored in the books since it'd undermine the whole 'super cool worm riding' thing for the fremen, but it'd make sense if the ecologist nerds had some way of basically sheep-dogging the worms and herding them about like that

>>529253347
Crazy to think the only vehicle in this game is the thopter. The buggy at best has a niche purpose it barely bets used for.

>>529253932
I use the buggy for mining Chernobyl crystals. Park just outside the radiation zone, fly in on a thopter and mine, fly back when thopter inventory is full and transfer over, repeat.

After moving base the first time ive been scared of pouring time into making my base cool in fear of having to move again. Can i settle in for good at my second base or do i have to uproot again?

>>529254057
what, why
just drive to the little circular islands in the middle and eat them with the laser, you can do almost a full circuit of it with just a regular mk4

>>529254425
Most likely you will want to move again if you aren't close to aluminum and the map border.

>>529254501
Because radiation builds up fast.

>>529254425
You want to be located close to the edge of the map so you can use the overworld map to enter at any point into the basin, and the best location is where all the aluminum is. If you aren't there already, you will eventually move again.

>>529254590
on foot it does, because standing in the slimesplart pools kicks it from tier 2 to tier 3 which you basically have to do if you're hand-mining
the buggy never goes above the basic ambient radiation level since 'you' aren't standing in the pool while it lasers

>>529254692
hmm thanks! Do you have any suggestions? I just finished the second trial so im not too far into the game, but i would like to find a place where i can stay for the rest of the game / a long time

>>529254590
here is what I did. Mk4 rad suit plus iodine pills. I drove a mk5 from my base in Hagga Rift all the way down the rock chain to Sheol, popped a pill, went into the rad zone, mined what I could, and drove out of the rad zone when it got to hot and parked under a rock overhang for shelter. Waited a bit for the rocks to respawn, went pack in and repeated, On my third trip in I was full, went back home. And I will never need duraluminum again.

>>529255323
just buiid where you think it looks cool, most likely on the northern strip of land but that stretches from the southern tip of the rift all the way down to the rock islands of northern sheol. You can build a small shelter with a normal subfief up there and explore until you find a place.

>>529254425
Make a cool base, then build a couple solido replicators and copy it. Then it's just a matter of planting the blueprint down and stacking the mats to build it out already set.

>>529253678
It's been fun mostly, even if the content creators are trying to make a living off of griefing with their fanboys in open PvP.
Got the usual suspects cheating too, fortunately at least this is an American game even if it's owned by China and you won't get your account closed and socials C&D spammed for 'negative hype' from a certain region of the world.

Do people RP in this game?

Am I crazy or do the origin dialogues not work?

I started as a Caladanian Na Familia yet I get options for other planets and castes sometimes.

>>529256890
>fortunately at least this is an American game even if it's owned by China
What the fuck are you on about m8

Why is my lubricant not selling

>clicks "Next" just as the next dialogue autoplays

>>529257351
they worked for me, I chose Kaitain/Political/Bondsman and got those and only those as options when appropriate (mainly Political).

>>529257604
you dont sell it on the player market, you sell it to NPC vendors.

>>529257830
I know I definitely at least had one Pyon option and one option for Political and others I can't pin because they aren't just reflected as what they're called during CC. I wonder if there's other ways to trigger them then?

Also kind of annoying there's no option to change appearance after start, basic MMO stuff.

>>529258024
>Also kind of annoying there's no option to change appearance after start, basic MMO stuff.
they are confirmed working on it

>>529257037
>Do people RP in this game?
they're on record stating they won't ever allow mods for the current model of it, so probably not now or ever unless you're supremely desperate to have the most barebones immersive interactions of your life

>>529258352
Extremely based if so. I was considering restarting despite all my progress because I watched the films so expected Atreides to have more a grey/gold/metal look but it turns out they're emerald green and my characters looks don't match her outfits.

what's the difference between a sword and a rapier?

>>529242767 (OP)
I just got to aluminium
this fucking sucks

>>529261517
the rapier has ridiculous lunging r1 thrusting attacks that you can legit just left click everything to death with because it sends you forward enough to catch dodge animations
DD damage sponges barely matter because you can just doink them into a corner with it forever, bonus points if you're using a poisoned one so you can further ignore shield mechanics

>>529261570
T6 is even worse

What's the easiest thing to craft and sell for profit

>>529261517
Knife is fast but low damage, except with shield pens it has a higher multiplier (off my head its 4.1 for sword and 4.6x damage for knife)
Sword has AoE parry and AoE attacks
Rapier has a built in gap closer

>>529262593
Basic lubricant is 10 solari each.
T5 rad suit is 17k.

>>529250821
The AH lets you skip the whole game. For 15k I could get a T5 cutter and T5/6 weapon.

>>529261570
get a buggy, that solves the mining bit. The leaves water, which is solved in various ways; the overall fastest is to get a reaper and dew harvest, but that involves having enough decaliterjohns and traveling to approrpriate size flower patches at the right time of night, but its instant water. Or, you can go the slow but easy route, by using windtraps and just processing ore when you have enough to do a big batch once a real day. You can supplement with blood if you want.

>>529262893
>T5/6 weapon
You get T5 weapons for free from elite chests in certain places in HB, usually by just walking in since they are popular farming spots.

I’ve been playing as a duo with a friend, and now that we’ve reached duraluminium and early DD, I wonder what’s the endgame for us if we don’t really care for pvp? I don’t particularly want to join any guilds either. Does the game have any high level pve content? Like actually challenging dungeons or something like that?

>>529264392
>I wonder what’s the endgame for us if we don’t really care for pvp?
There's none.

>>529264392
>Does the game have any high level pve content? Like actually challenging dungeons or something like that?
The DD testing stations (the ones beyond row A) are currently the biggest PVE challenge in the game, and that challenge comes from them having kill rooms (the ones where the door locks behind you until you kill all the enemies in the room) that have slightly more and harder enemies than they do in HB. That said, if you are in a duo, these will still be pretty easy unless you are retarded. T hey are considering other high end content, but no ETA (most certainly not this year). As for T6, its not meant/needed for solo PVE play; its designed for cooperativee efforts by guilds to acquire and process mass quantities of T6 mats to enable and sustain PVP.

>>529263764
That's how I got my mk5 radiation suit and the 1000 jasmium ore I will use to enable me to never return.

Is it possible to enjoy PvP as someone who cant spend 10 hours a day playing the game? By that i mean ; how long does it take to get a new ornocopter if you lose it in the deep desert etc?

I can usually just play for like and hour a day nowadays

>>529257351
I've just about completed all the quests and kaitan na familia dialogue options have popped up maybe 6 times in total

>>529268882
One or two hours.
You can also keep your old thopter for doing jasmium runs.

>>529269517
You can usually run away if you see you're outmatched though, right? If so, then that is not too bad to be honest

>>529268882
No, you have to nolife the game for 70 hours to get the stuff necessary for pvp in the first place and then no life hours for every replacement to replace the stuff used in pvp

99% of the pvp is ornithopters shooting each other btw, there's no ground combat in the game as it is right now

so your experience will be playing this game for 3 months then finally getting to the deep desert only to die/get killed repeatedly by griefers/chinese hackers and each loss requiring you to spend more hours refarming rocks again.

It's one thing to play this game for the PVE content but if you're looking at getting into pvp, it's gatekept mechanically to teenagers with all the time in the world

>>529269673
As long as you aren't equipped with rockets, you know how to glide, and your opponent isn't using a speed hack, your thoper should be much faster.

>>529269673
>ou can usually run away if you see you're outmatched though, right?
He doesnt know

While this game as several obvious problems with its longevity, one big one people really dont get is just how limiting the Dune IP is beyond what is alreay in the game, unless they go completely into territory that is not tied to the IP. While there are six canon books, only the first two cover what 99% of the current fanbase conceive of as "Dune", since the first two are a conventional story that gets satisfactorily resolved at the end of the 2nd book (and as are depicted in the movies). After the second book, things start to be very non-Dune, with new characters, new planets, and, most importantly, massive time skips. They already got almost all the tech of Dune (especially weapon wise) in the game, and anything missing from the game is either not pertinent to game mechanics or would be extremely gimmicky (walking without rhythm, worm riding, etc). Weapon wise will be expanded for PVP centric play, and not much beyond vehicle born weaponry. They say they have 10 years worth of ideas but those ideas are going to be story stuff on Arrakis, with small maps that have the same shit in them we have now.

>PvP is zergfest with abuses
>PvE is nonexistent
>building is limited and very barebone
>no mods and no custom servers
Basically, when you're at DD stage of the game you beaten it.

>>529246861
shut the fuck up you retarded nigger, just because you can't see bans or suppression happening doesn't mean they don't happen how fucking stupid are you holy shit, literal 1 year old mind you have

>>529274073
lmao @ this chimp out
if he can go to these places and see these posts you are saying are being deleted and suppressed, would that not be an indicator that they are not actually being deleted or suppressed? since he can see them?

>>529272779
The good thing about being a casual ass gamer is that I wont even get to endgame before those problems get sorted out by new patches

>>529274770
yes you retard, it's not hard to see attempts at suppression that don't actually pan out and just throw gasoline on a fire

holy shit you are legitimately a fucking moron, this is literally what the streisand effect is and you are so fucking stupid you can't fathom that someone might be trying to squash and censor and failing at it, which in no way negates their attempts at censorship

jesus fucking christ grow a brain you stupid fucking retard

>>529274991
I thought this too then I took a week off work and played 67 hours over 10 days and now I'm at dura and feeling edged as fuck because the story has no closure and I've no interest in PvP

>>529270276
>and your opponent isn't using a speed hack
On my server this seems pretty standard at the moment. All the "pvpers" decided to permanently speed hack. If you go even 100m into the pvp section of the DD you're going to find that suddenly 3+ chinks will pop into existence right on top of you and magnetize their missile pods to your hull until you're dead.

>>529274991
based rose smell enjoyer

made a million solaris in a day
no idea what to do with it because i have every cosmetic thing i can buy but i am sure it might be important or relevant later

>>529279505
What, you killed zantara or what

>>529275190
I played more consistently and more hours, but yesterday I built the last thing I planned to build in T5, shut off my base down to one gen (which I have several years worth of fuel for), and logged out. I will log in once or twice in July to maintain the base/pay tax, but will dissamble and store the base and retire to Arakeen if nothing comes around that keeps me interested in playing.

is there an in game way of finding a guild?

>>529282385
no, and thats a problem for Funcom

>>529282515
and me

>>529282385
Yea, just spam racial slurs in all chat and you'll get sent an invite.

>>529283473
I don't think our guilds are still going.

>>529281953
Think I'm about to do this also, except I'm just going to liquidate everything into cash rather than bother with logging in to maintain a base

>>529284541
Same. I don't really want to go into the DD considering the current mess it is in and how I'm a solo.
Turning it 50% pve was certainly a decision.

4chan apes together strong you know, people used to have guilds on this board.

>>529286080
i have effectively quit and all i do is jew the market

still a better endgame than dd

It would've been kinda funny and on point if the name of this general was "dunc"

I love the Stilltent, it's fun and cozy hunkering down in a sandstorm. I also use it to avoid sunburn when spicing out in the open.

I preordered the deluxe version of this game and I've been logging in to play it only 2-3 hours a day since the beginning of the early start, and I'm only just now getting my ornithopter because I've been going extremely slow, exploring everywhere, working on my base, and immersing myself into the game. I also make it a point to get really high before logging in, which makes the whole experience even more immersive.

is there any in-world lore effect along the lines of being 'legally' unable to kill worms?
it's not like they're exactly endangered, what's stopping the major factions from feeding the local ones something like an atomic bomb to make their region more traversible?
iirc the padishah emperor didn't know/didn't care that the worms were the source of the spice, and presumably the same one is in the background presence of this setting

>>529289783
Lucky you getting the cool swatch preorder boy. I hate that I missed my chance since the game was out by the time I realised I wanted to play it.

>>529289993
>what's stopping the major factions from feeding the local ones something like an atomic bomb
Well, for one thing atomics are extremely illegal and will have all the other Great Houses descend upon you to take you out.

>>529290883
well that's convenient

>>529289993
1. what the other guy said atomics are illegal
2. they do kill worms now and then but it's difficult, they are huge and swim in sand
3. they don't know that worms produce spice and they don't know that water kills worms, only fremen know (which is kind of silly but whatever)

arrakis isn't the kind of place conducive to a house testing various weapons on sandworms, just because the whole planet is so politically charged. Anyone doing anything is going to have 6 different factions sniffing up their ass to double check what they ate for breakfast and why.

Hagga basin also isn't supposed to have any sandworms. I don't know why it does considering Paul never happened and there should still be a fully intact shield wall. Sandworms were never introduced into the north pole basin.

Speaking of which the compass/map in game is wrong and for whatever reason they have north where south actually is on arrakis.

Also hagga basin is the entire area in that overworld map you can fly in, not just the lone POI you start at.

I will give these guys some credit - they have basically nailed dune's setting and aesthetic themes besides little details like what direction north is (paracompass bullshitting is a copout), but boy did they ever fuck up the actual gameplay loops and PVP side of things

>>529289993
The guild knew and they wouldn't ship anyone anywhere if it endangered the guild short or long term.
So people are free to nuke their own planet into oblivion, but go against guild interests, that's where you're staying forever.

>>529292412
The books are kind of vague about what the guild knows, it's never explicitly stated that they understand how spice is made or why the sandworms are important, however they do recognize that there's a connection between the sandworms, spice, and water and conspire against Paul and the Fremen when their terraforming of arrakis threatens spice yields so there has to be some understanding of the ecological impact of water on sandworms and spice.

How much they know exactly is up in the air in the books but they know enough to understand what does and does not hurt spice yields.

by the way, average temperatures on arrakis are 30-50 degrees celsius, with highs in the worst areas over 70 degrees; in case anyone was wondering how hot the planet actually is. I kind of wish the day/night cycle was longer honestly.

>>529290883
Atomics aren’t necessarily illegal, you just can’t use them with ill intent. IIRC in the book when Paul nukes the shield wall, he circumvents the rule and prevents the other houses from attacking by saying he used the atomics to provide him a faster way of meeting the Emperor.

>>529296175
I can't remember that from my reading of the books literally decades ago, that sounds like an extremely stupid argument and the houses are stupid for accepting it.

>>529294709
>I kind of wish the day/night cycle was longer honestly.
And that nights were colder, to the point that you have to insulate your clothing. Night in the desert is COLD.

How long can I leave a buggy sitting at a trade post garage

>>529297143
i don't think anything but the trade post interior is protected from storms (the doors close)

>>529296175
he doesn't prevent them from attacking, things don't work like a videogame where someone makes a rule up and circumventing or ignoring the rule means you're banned or you physically can't do it because the game prevents you

If they wanted to fuck with him they could have.

The problem is that Atreides' core powerbase is now on Arrakis, not Caladan, so nuking Caladan into the stone age in retaliation wouldn't achieve much of anything in regards to stopping Paul - and more importantly, by this stage in the story, Paul basically owns Arrakis thanks to the Fremen. If the houses fuck with him they are going to lose access to spice/destroy spice production trying to fight Paul, and if they don't have spice they can't fold space and travel anywhere. They can't trade, they can't maintain access to necessary resources/imports, they can't fight a war for very long. It would be really bloody and could kill trillions if they went to war over it.

So Paul basically had a "you fuck with me I'll destroy us all" trump card, and it was easier for the houses to go along with the new sheriff in town rather than risk access to spice.

He ALSO married Princess Irulan, the daughter of the Emperor. So that puts the houses in a weird political situation where nuking Caladan and the Atreides has all kinds of political risks and fallout - not every house is necessarily going to be on the same page about punishing the Atreides for using a nuke.

So for a whole bunch of reasons like this, Paul going "nuh uh I aktshully didn't nuke any humans so I didn't violate the convention" is just enough of an excuse for everyone to save face and go along with it even though its retarded and wouldn't work if the conditions were different and there was no political leverage involved.

>>529296595
Arrakis has actual polar ice caps, parts of the planet are literally freezing cold all year round.

>>529297407
the garage area shows as "sheltered",, even under the little awning connecting the garage to the trade post proper. Sheltered is all you need to protect a vehicle from a storm.

>>529297143
A chinese hacker already stole it

>>529297143
Until someone else with a vehicle uses physics to force it out of the sheltered area and it's lost to the sandstorm.

>>529299596
we really need region locks so that white people don't have to play with 3rd worlders

>>529296397
We're accepting stupider right now, honestly.

>hurrr durrr water is life
>entire culture built around conserving water
>oh the giant polar ice caps made of water? We’ll just ignore those and not live anywhere near them and force ourselves into nomadic scavenging forever.

Are Fremen actually this retarded in lore?

>>529302530
The ice caps are tiny and there's no spice near them.

>>529301946
if its not obvious, you want the shelter indicator to be showing on the vehicle UI (on the right side of the screen, not the one for your person (which is on the left side of screen). You can show sheltered for your body while in the vehicle without your vehicle being sheltered.

>>529302530
1. worms don't go near the polar caps so there's no spice near them either
2. the fremen are the main labor force harvesting the spice
3. the fremen have a bunch of techniques and technologies for surviving in the deep desert with little to no water and working around sandworms thanks to living on the planet for thousands of years which is also why they're the best at harvesting spice
4. fremen don't want to live near all the offworlders - the deep desert which fremen know how to survive in - gives them somewhere to live without offworld retards around them

So you combine them not being able to make money from spice because there's no spice near the poles, with them having developed technologies that let them live in the deep desert, plus they hate 3rd worlder I mean offworlders and don't want to live anywhere near them, and you get fremen living in the deep desert harvesting spice for fat stacks of cash essentially unmolested (until in this alt setting, the sardaukar went and fucked them all in the ass)

water isn't an absolutely huge problem for fremen. Their sietches can pull enough water out of the air for thousands of people to live in them and they know how to conserve water so they don't lose it like retards in the deep desert. They aren't dying of thirst in the desert which is the exact opposite of what happens to all the imported labor.

having immense respect and value for water and dying of thirst are two different things

is it actually sandstorm resistant, or what

>>529303927
>water isn't an absolutely huge problem for fremen.

This. Players that complain about how "easy" it is to get water really dont know the books and how the water situation is in the actual settlements, which is reflected by the technology in the game. Arrakis will drain the water from you real quick, so thats why the stillsuits are important. But you dont see anyone really wearing stillsuits in the settlements.

Do the loot tables for the shield wall testing stations rotate too? I've been trying to get a mk5 compact for fucking days now and all I have to show for it is like 10 worthless assault boosters.

>>529307181
just fluff words that don't mechanically mean anything because if it did it would conflict with how the game mechanics are

>>529307231
Yes but we also live in a hovel in the middle of the desert. I think the deep desert makes water slightly more important but nobody is really going there.

>>529307181
It has higher HP than granite

ive been going back and forth from my East Gap base to the shield wall to get aluminum; is this enough to start out? i have a little FOB up there in a place i think'll be cool to build on.i really just need my first scout ornithopter to be able to move back and forth faster, right?

>>529307231
the stillsuits look like burlap sacks, i have every practical reason to use them but don't like how they look so i don't
i will literally die of thirst before i put on the mercenary gimp suit

>>529308581
Its a start, sure. You'll end up using tons of aluminum and the next tier of materials (duraluminum) also uses aluminum to craft. Ideally you should be harvesting aluminum with a buggy asap, it speeds up harvesting by at least 3 fold, if not more.

>>529309285
im going to be using my buggy asap when i can, i just dont want to keep using my base across the Gap to drive my buggy back and forth, it'd take like 15 minutes to get across the gap not including mining, on top of the area being really low where the worms are and i feel like my buggy will struggle to get up the inclines fast enough

>carrier ornithopter cant convert seating space to huge amounts of inventory space
i miss Elite Dangerous hauling

>>529309458
the buggy has good torque unlike the bike, dont worry

>>529309776
should i build an aluminum mk4 buggy before a scout ornithopter, then?

>>529309891
yes, since it will make mining mass quantities of everything trivialy easy.

>>529310417
should i replace all parts or just like the PSU and the cutteray?

>>529310523
You only really need to worry about the cutteray. The rest of your buggy can be mk3 for now. Thats how I did mine, I crafted full mk3 and lucked out with looting a half broken mk5 cutter. Made a huge difference.

does anybody use the vulcan

>>529310523
like other anon said, virtually nothing about the buggy matters but the cutteray
you can probably get a cheap mk5 cutteray from market too

storage would help of course but there is otherwise nothing that'd make a dramatic difference

>>529310523
>>529310656

Engine lets you go faster and I'm pretty sure PSU affects your overheating, but neither are necessary for your first buggy. All other parts are completely irrelevant, though it is fun to upgrade to the bigger buggy boot when you get one.

>>529312346
Because they designed them completely retarded

idiots have apparently never seen how a gun is actually used. you don't walk around like the terminator with a fucking chaingun at your hip, you set it in place and lay down heavy fire in a limited coverage area and the downside of heavy weapons is that they're a pain in the ass to lug around and carry ammo for and the upside is that anyone who walks in front of you fucking dies for hundreds of meters

but nooooo we gotta have goddamn california libtard devs

>>529312817
I think they just didn't want guns to be too good/very viable overall because it's Dune.

>>529312562

they've shot their load. if it takes 2 years to get this playable, i don't have that time to fucking wait. they can't justify further monetization, because it was hideously expensive for what they delivered already.

death stranding 2 was the real purchase this time. can't believe a bookfag duped me into playing this. final slap in the face was enjoying it all until you realize your company at the end is the rust spergs that will not, cannot make themselves shut the fuck up in desert chat every time they "PVP" someone

Is there any reason to use anything other than a spitdart and a sword?

>>529310972
Because its removes your shield and requires continuous fire to do anything its quite awful. Not to discount its damage which is obscene but you'll take so much HP damage its not worth it.

If you combine it with CC and catch a few enemies in a bubble its good, outside that any high damage single shot weapon like the drillshot or snipers are better.

where do I get diamondinium?

>>529314976
where's the big electric worm?

>>529314656
Given how the enemy AI works, its probably the best overall combo in the game if you are properly melee spec. Spitdart allows you to kill the low level unshielded range enemies at a distance, which in turn will aggro the low level shielded melee enemies to close the distance with you, you melee them down, and then you use your gap closer to melee the shielded heavies down as they stay at distance.

why are buggy cutterays "poor efficiency" arent they the MOST efficient

>>529315097
the big temple complex at the middle left side of the map.

>>529315713
its relative; they go up in efficiency with mk level, so while you get a lot more aluminum out of a mk buggy cutteray than a handheld one, its poor efficiency when compared to a mk5 buggy cutteray.

There is literally no endgame. Like, nothing. The giant pvp zone is empty and it's not even pvp anymore so it's just pure dead space. And that's not even getting into the issue of bad draw distance and other retarded shit like thopter dominance.

>>529317479
>and it's not even pvp anymore
It never was pvp, just a no-skill gankfest.

That fat nigger Joel needs to remove rockets from the game until he can figure out a way to make them not cancer.

been watching a deep desert squad play all morning, the spice gankers are all known by name, the kill on sight big guild is monopolizing the big spice fields, and these guys are out in 4 assault thopters killing everyone and marking bases to raid during sandstorms, they all carry thumpers to drop on spice fields and have a trophy room full of looted plastanium/spice melange.

>There is a piss easy dupe glitch that lets you make infinite resources
Welp, the games entire economy is fucked. Just like Conan I doubt they fix it.

>>529319141
idk about that so much. I went out yesterday, sticking to the PvE area, looking for both spice and t6 metal nodes
came home with about 100 ore and 200 spice. There were four spice blows in the PvE area while I was out there. All four were depleted in literal seconds. One was a pre-spice mass that I hovered around. I was literal first person on the ground, shooting my collector. A dozen other ships dive bombed out of nowhere and started scraping things up. It was empty before the worm could even spawn.

The mining nodes were similarly empty. Just nothing out there but PvE players scraping the entire place clean. Maybe if you play in off-hours or have a low pop server, it'd be different, but I found way more stuff out there and way less people the last few weeks while it was all marked as PvP.

That's somewhat related to our own human history of the dark ages, when muslims began heavy piracy and raiding sea ports over open seas and stopped most trading over the mediterreran and black seas during their 'golden age' as the rest of that region slipped into the 'dark ages' spawning the eventual Christian crusades.

If you're gonna ask questions like that you're gonna get all the spoilers

Paul eventually takes revenge on the Harkonnen and Emperor for trying to destroy his house and everyone and everything he's ever known and loved. To undermine the landsraad and the empire and take control for himself, he lets the religious cult he's the messianic figurehead of to spread across the galaxy, which results in a whole bunch of wars which kill over 60 billion people and sterilize 90 planets.

It's not specified that nuclear weapons were used, but it can be inferred considering the situation the landsraad is in with everyone having nukes pointed at each other but abiding the convention not to use them.

IMO the jihad is actually one of the weakest elements of herbert's original books because he glosses over it almost completely. There's easily 1-2 books worth of writing that could've been done about the jihad but it was reduced to a paragraph. All we know is that fremen were unleashed and in their religious fervor killed billions and there really just isn't much out there that's going to kill billions except interstellar nuclear war, which matches up with what we know of the landsraad militaries and weapons.

This is getting more into headcannon, but its reasonable to assume Paul used his prescience and the fremen to start religious cults on a bunch of planets in ways that would specifically get strong landsraad houses to eliminate each other while opening up opportunities for him to consolidate and gain power until it was too late for anyone to stop him. None of that is specifically stated in the books but its a fairly safe inference and assumption considering the fremen do not have the numbers to go around killing 60 billion people through conventional war. There can't be more than few million of them on arrakis at the absolute most and everything in the books suggests its more like in the hundreds of thousands.

Yeah, wish they didn't do Conan 2.0. I would have been happy with a survival game with less grinding and less grinding progression and just more brutal planet and enemies.

Questions for the loremasters present: How did the guild first get access to spice? Were they originally from Arrakis? Or, I know the worms weren't originally from Arrakis, so are the guild from wherever the worms are from?

Maybe a better question is how humanity spread across the galaxy before spice? Did they just use slower than light travel with big colony ships or did they have FTL tech that was lost in the Butlerian Jihad?

A secondary question: What happened to wherever the worms originally came from? Shouldn't there be spice on that planet as well? Is it just a lost planet or did it go through some eco terraforming that rendered it inhospitable to worms?

>local playerbase without mods still manages to mod arena PVP into the game while devs sit on their ass doing nothing
Any bets on how long it takes funcom to actually get a real PVP system of any kind into the game?

I'm willing to believe it'll be over 3 months before even something as simple as mutually consenting solo duels happen. The fact it's not in the game to start with actually leads me to believe some retard on the dev team doesn't want there to be any kind of actual PVP, probably the same guy insisting on keep thopter rockets in, so there's a very good chance that real PVP never gets into this game - it will be grieferfest deep desert wannabe rust but shittier until most of the devs are laid off and the game's run by a maintenance crew (who are always the only ones with any actually good ideas and gameplay concepts, but lack the manpower and funding to actually do any of it)

>>529324286
I genuinely think they'll do something about it in their first big update but that's 3 months or so off from now. Might see some more attempts at making it not unplayable dogshit after a month when the normies finally get to the endgame and realize it's ass.

>>529324771
>I genuinely think they'll do something about it in their first big update but that's 3 months or so off from now.
They dont have that long and they know it. I expect some major changes this week, and they will probably make changes every week for a while. The did the PVE area expansion a day after they launched the test server.

>>529325227
>I expect some major changes this week,
They have hinted nothing. The most they'll do is make it even easier for pve players. they certainly don't have any real pve content to pull out their asses.

>>529324286
It will take them a bit on account of the fact they will need to divert resources away from development in order to crack down on player mods.

"We are addressing some key flaws in the Landsraad design – the inability to hand in items after a square is completed and the rapidity at which some squares are turned in.

Stockpiling is currently rewarded, but that is not our intention for this system, and we will make some changes to address it as best we can.

Landsraad rewards are supposed to reflect the endgame tiers of progression. This includes the vendors which can be unlocked for an entire faction through participation. This is the intention. But once again let me acknowledge that this isn’t exactly in the right place. The Landsraad will be updated to provide micro rewards for solo/small group players. "

>>529326069
>the Atreides shit is just way better, especially cause it's more strictly angled rather than curved

not a curve in sight

>>529326265
it's easy but time consuming to make and for the time invested you get very little in return.

If you did the numbers and looked at time spent making lube vs just running a couple PVE dungeons I guarantee you the dungeons give more cash for your time spent. 1 or 2 good dungeons will take 10 minutes to go through and give you 10k+ solari, nevermind the blueprints/gear/mats you get.

I just don't buy into the lube meme. Run dungeons make a mk5 suit from mats, vendor, walk away with 30k solari in like 15 minutes.

>>529325793
>so should i be loading my base up with regular reactor
this. You can do everything as a solo within the constraints of the 40 item limit on production, they cost salvaged metal, and with a buggy you can fill storage containers with fuel cells and never worry about power again. And you fuel them all at once just by holding down one button on your subfief console. The only point of the higher tiers of power is to reduce the amount of the production units needed for power while maintaining the same power generation levels, so you can have more things that produce items running.

>>529324102
I'll try my best. Much of the info comes from the dune encyclopedia rather than the novels, which are surprisingly sparse with specific details about stuff like this. I've also only read the main 6 books, not any of the other fanfic stuff from the author's son.

Anyway, the origin of the worms is never stated. The god emperor does vaguely mention that he has memories of the worms/sandtrout being introduced to arrakis and that arrakis was not always a desert planet. The worms turned it into what it is. Where they actually came from, who brought them, and why is simply not known. They did not originate from arrakis, neither does the spacing guild.

As for space travel, it depends on the time period. Prior to Holtzmann, travel was done as we might try it, sub light speed and very slow. After Holtzmann, and especially in combination with thinking machines space travel became commonplace and safe leading to humanities golden age. Post butlerian jihad with no thinking machines to navigate, it became extremely dangerous to use ftl. IIRC each ftl jump without navigation had a 10% chance of failure, meaning the ship was never seen again. This is the time when the spacing guild was created, post butlerian jihad. They would struggle bus their way through the stars with repeated great losses until the spice is discovered and makes space travel once again safe and common.

>>529326547
They really have no clue what they're doing

nobody gives a shit about the landsraad bonuses, the only thing worth a damn are the swatches and only because the game is anemic on color options. Getting some retarded deep desert bonus doesn't mean anything when the deep desert is a conceptually empty and dead grieferfest.

Landsraad should be some PVP arena thing where the point is just the PVP because the PVP is fun.

But these retards forgot they needed to make a fucking game for people to play first

>>529325793
The basic generator is fine

>>529326679
this isn't a discussion on solaris, its a discussion about generating power, anon. not every mention of lube is about this retarded farming shit.

>>529327256
>They really have no clue what they're doing
Im not arguing that they know what they are doing, but they are going to make rapid changes to existing systems to start with since thats the easiest for them to do. Im of the opinion that there is nothing that they can actually do to keep the amount of people they want playing consistently much longer even if they wanted to put in crunch levels of effort. They would have to redesign the game from scratch, but currently there is no reason for this to be a live service game other than the PVP portion.

>>529326624
pics? i need base inspiration, im bad at building. it'd take me days and days to do shit people here do in hours.

i want to devs to play the game like their intro and ride out into the deep desert in buggies and sandbikes with two thopters

>>529327040
This leads into the status quo for the universe and space travel which has lasted for more than 10k years. Towards the end of the god emperors reign, no-ships are invented. These serve two purposes, they hide the ship from prescience and have navigational computers that allow the ship to safely use ftl space travel without the need for spice or thinking machines.

Thats the gist of it I believe. It has been a few years since I've read both the novels and encyclopedia, so someone else can correct me if I'm horribly wrong about something. You can also just dl the dune encyclopedia from pirate bay, its a small pdf version of it. It has way more detail than most will care for, but it has most things you might want to know about the lore.

>>529328308
devs are incapable of playing the game as players do. Its like a natural law of the universe. Its why game developers suck at making games. Its like what Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park, they spend too much time on thiniking of the could the dont think of the the should.

If I were on team damage control to fix this dumpsterfire as fast as possible with as little effort as possible, the very first thing I'd have out the door inside the week, is letting players duel each other for fun anywhere they want.

Because the fundamental combat mechanics work. They're fun to play but people need something better than retarded bots. Solo and group duels being made possible immediately and instantly fixes a huge lack of 'what do I even do' that's going on right now.

Have solo duels and team duels. Basic bitch score tracker for how many times someone gets downed or something. Whatever. Get that shit out the door so players can fuck around fighting each other for fun ASAP. None of this griefer ganking bullshit, none of this eve online rust wannabe crap, we're our own game and we gotta work with what we got and what we've got is a decent PVP combat system that nobody is getting to engage with because the broader game design is so fucking retarded.

So cut the middleman retard shit, and just get some PVP out the door for people to fuck around and organize for themselves while we try to unfuck the rest of the game that beady brown eyed fat retard screwed up.

>>529328893
go to your subfief console and on the left side you will see a column displaying the various limits to your base. You have limit of 40 items that produce things, be it power, water, or items. You can have a complete T5 base with one of everything up to that point to go into T6 and still stay under the power budget of fuel gens. Im that way with three advanced death stills (at a total of 1050 power for just those three items). Which also means if you shut off machines you dont need running (which is most of them), you can get away with even less fuel gens.

>>529330034
>what's the most unfair overpowered ranged loadout i can take to imperial testing stations in case i get ganked
Sword + Weirding Step + Crippling Strike + Suspensor Blast.

Ranged is garbage in labs. You'll get absolutely clapped by the above combo before you get a shot off.

>>529330497
You dont, thats why I said you will still be ganked. Go on youtube and watch how PVP on the ground at a testing station in the DD actually works.

>>529330881

I've never seen anyone use it, is it actually good?

>>529331410

the same faggots speedhacking, warping and aimbotting in the DD are the same ones that will be instakilling you in whatever duel arena concept spawns from something along these lines of development

this game's fatal flaw, as is any game that does this, was designing itself to appeal to rust players at all. they don't care about the method or the fun along the way, only the result that says 'you win' after they just slaughtered a henhouse with a chinese scriptkiddie plugin

>unfair overpowered ranged loadout

the game has a built-in *teleports behind you* attack on a relatively short cooldown that will probably permanently condemn ranged playstyles into being helpless punchingbags against shielded bankai warriors

people who think toddlercopters with rocketlaunchers are obnoxious have yet to experience the sheer fucking indignation of having two laggy thirdies teleporting up your asshole with braindead giant stun attack followups over and over - the devs for this game have veritable mountains of paperwork to do on achieving any sort of reasonable balance for this long after they do the sensible thing in disarming air vehicles at some point down the road, because holy shit they're going to be swamped tenfold with complaints and disappointment as soon as people are actually on the ground knife fighting eachother

Don't forget that the instant, point and click teleport skill that stuns you ALSO bypasses the one perk that counters bene gesserit skills.

>>529332819
>Don't forget that the instant, point and click teleport skill that stuns you ALSO bypasses the one perk that counters bene gesserit skills.
Good. Imagine putting in a perk that negates an ENTIRE class. Fucking stupid design.

Make it delay the cast, make it show the ability, make it do a thousand other things, but out right cancelling? Thats like having a perk that makes it so all trooper skills do nothing. What is the point, everyone will just run 3x "stop all abilities" perks and the game will be nothing but spam M1 to win/lose.

>>529333074
It has a cooldown and it drains your stamina. It's also the only way to counter the instawin stunlock abilities from BG.

>>529333262
And if they buff/change it then people will just spam trooper CC. CC is strong in PvP, either it'll be there or it won't but complaining about specific CC types is retarded.

>>529331984
ok so they're doing that to each other and their own friends, because there's no reason you have to accept a duel request from someone when you'd only ever be using this in PVE areas.

Don't like how someone cheats and hacks, don't duel them, problem solved

>>529331984
>whatever duel arena concept spawns from something along these lines of development
Good luck using hacks in player controlled PvP arenas. You'll have 10-20 people reporting you instantly. V Rising added these and they're hugely successful.

>>529334364
>Kinda weird pve players wanted it so bad.
they did not want the DD per se, they wanted access to titanium and stravidium in the PVE zone. They could have made that change and keep the PVE zone to one row. The devs are still considering what the size of the PVE zone should be, including having it fluctuate each week.

>>529334801
If there was one, I never heard or saw any of it and I played that game to death since launch, just finished a run of it a few weeks ago. Nothing but great content and updates so heres hoping we get that here too.

>>529334364
I wanted access to the resources, not PvP.

if you throw down anti grav+turret it'll do some work if you land disruptor/drillshots, disruptor will drain them in two hits and then you can just triple tap or karpov or even another disruptor shot will probably drop them, if they're pure melee you can jump into your field and fire and they'll just have to sit there or pull out their weapon

If you have a bunch of extra crap you don't want and/or can craft into lube and rad suits sure. But grinding mats for them isn't worth it, just run the DD PvE area labs. Six of them in 40 minutes gives you 20k not including the potential uniques you can sell on the AH.

im just getting into aluminum; it's pretty slow going. i need armor since im still in a steel stillsuit; should i wait to make an aluminum set or a steel set of heavy armor?

>>529351549
Go to the trade post near the dead electrified worm. Theres a contract there that rewards a full set of an aluminum tier unique stillsuit. Just use that until you can craft yourself something fancier.

Is DD really as boring as people say? Hagga was stupid fun for me

what do you do with unique armor when it gets inevitably fucked forever by repair-maximum-durability forever going down?

>doors close at tradeposts and stuff when sandstorms roll through
neat detail

>>529354559
Find or buy the blueprints and make a new set. Purple uniques all have blueprints to recreate them. Afaik, its only the green uniques that are a true one time reward. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong about this.

You can also simply invest in the passives that boost durability and reduce durability loss for repairs.

cool.

>>529354559
>what do you do with unique armor when it gets inevitably fucked forever by repair-maximum-durability forever going down?
You never break armor, it takes forever even without skills

You will be happier if you stop going out your way to see everything through the filthy lens of American politics so you can be angry about these perceived slights.

>>529356727
In your base, use a storage chest as the in between. You can swap between your own inventory and any vehicles you control that are parked in your base when in a chest interface.

>>529356727
With both parked in your base? You can select a vehicle from the drop down in the top left while looking at an inventory. So go to your buggy, open inventory, then select thopter.

While out in the field?

Melange is listed at about 4k here but there aren't many listings and I'm unsure if any of it is actually moving at that price. Plants and flour sand aren't even listed at all. This is on a server that only opened up a few days after release, says medium population but its always been fairly dead.

>>529362369
Spice is genuinely not worth buying ever. Its so easy to find on both maps. Which I think is probably the worst sin imaginable for this game to have, the worm should be god damn ravenous to stop players getting spice and you should 100% be forced to fly out and thumper somewhere else to distract it while you harvest, but its too late now, the entire economy is saturated.

>>529365302
That's pretty much it. The amount you can get in the PvE area is minuscule in comparison to the PvP area.

>>529367170
So as a solo is my best bet going to be building a base on the edge of the PvE zone and making quick rat trips in and out with a thruster scout thopter?

>>529368384
considering the loot table is weekly, my auction house has tons of those recipes up, like 8x pincushion leg schematics for 5-12k, which is like half a lab in the A row. all you can do at this point is amass materials and farm, but i find it faster to buy schematics so long as there's people farming them. so even that endeavor would have to be something you enforce upon yourself, such as your pve solo gameplay, no auction house self-farm only.SSF, one step gayer and you could start hardcore runs.

UE5 nanite shit. Look up Ark Enhanced command lines that people have to use to remove settings for more performance, a lot of it to deal with nanite and lumen.
UE ads tricked a lot of more gullible devs saying they can just flood their game with unoptomized models without LOD models anymore and that hardware is getting strong enough to support stupid amounts of triangles but now shit is bloated with tons of overhead added from dumping movie level models in the engine for it to shred up all the time and hardware actually became much weaker since the 40 and 50 series cards from Nvidia are less involved with traditional rasterization processing and more upscaling, 'AI' task solving.

The same amount of chip space is divided up with less graphic power than two generations ago, that's why the 3000 series was stopped in production early to push 4000 series, despite each tier being weaker than the one below it last generation. Card reviewers and some manufactutures couldn't sell the card (some not even allowed to direct compare) using the usual comparison methods and use fake copy-pasted frame fluffs from upscaling.

Then from the top down, Microsoft no longer solving various DX12 issues anymore leaving it to each individual studio to make sure shit works when DX11 things were handled by them in a better working state.

TL;DR less Mitch and Hans and more Singh and Wongs on the software side of things.

It just occurred to me a single guy could make a Dune Awakening mod for Minecraft relatively easy (all the bits required are already in other mods basically, other than modeling) and it would be a better, longer lived experience than Dune Awakening is.

They're very close to having something decent but it's ruined by poor network performance, bad choices on zone transitions that pidgeonholed gameplay mechanics, and gobsmackingly retarded choices on PVP and PVE design.

I just tried some of the deep desert t6 research facilities and shit was hard. The kill room had like, idk, 4 or 5 waves? With very strong enemies, too.
Anyway, I always had like 3 or 4 melee guys chasing me at any time, so I couldn't even use my ranged weapons much. Which brings me to my point - would a pure melee build be better for this endgame stuff? How are you even meant to deal with 80% of enemies using shields as a ranged focused character?

>>529388978
>would a pure melee build be better for this endgame stuff? How are you even meant to deal with 80% of enemies using shields as a ranged focused character?
If you went pure melee you'd get mobbed too since enemies don't take turns with their attacks

>>529386046
>prana-bindu my hog into some thirsty sand bitch

Seems like planetologist and trooper are the most useful skill trees for the harvesting and traversal stuff.

>How are you even meant to deal with 80% of enemies using shields as a ranged focused character?
The DD stations with the multi wave kill rooms are not designed to be done solo (a high end melee build appropriately used could do it solo, though). Specific to your question, as a ranged character, you ideally use a spitdart to hit enemies that will shield up when aggro'd. The first priority will be the ones that are melee. They will come to you once aggro'd, so after hitting it with a spitdart, and they are still alive, then you drillshot them down. Learn their animations; when they are in melee range, they will first attempt a heavy attack, so when they try that, dodge, and drillshot them again. A burst drillshot (unique that fires two shots at once) of the appropriate level will take care of a melee in one or two bursts. Use cover to avoid the ranged attacks, and use either the spitdart or a kaprov (depending on their range) to take them out when possible). The heavy weapon guys should be taken out once the melee's are down, drill shot them down. They have a reload animation (and also tell you vocally they are reloading), thats a clear signal to hit them. Use cover.

>>529389867

>>529390879
oh its good, absolutely
i'm just boiling it down to absolute essentials and for me now, i just land at labs and ship wrecks

i even take the suspensor off to stop it turning on when i climb up the ship wrecks so the worm takes longer to turn up

early game before thopter and on some specific chest runs i would say wire/suspensor are actually essential

does anyone know the respawn timer on the f - i research station final chest? is it 45 like others?

>>529392878
It's 45

So how large scale can pvp and pve get in this game?

>>529393772
you can easily get 5 chinks shooting missles at you at once

>>529394434
Oh its another mmo taken over by nonenglish meat llms?

>>529394627
Not quite. It's rust but they try to hide it's rust.

>>529393772
who knows, the only large scale thing people have seen so far is swarms of ornithopters spamming rockets at each other.

>>529393772
if they ever get large scale infantry fights i'm expecting asymmetric warfare kino where a lot of currently useless guns like heavy weapons might suddenly have a niche

but that is not in the game at all right now

>>529396517
to make that work they basically need planetside 2 but dune

I would play the shit out of that, and they have the core mechanical gameplay components, but would need to improve their server structure/networking, and drop all the PVE treadmill grind stuff, which they will not ever do.

>>529397914
The pve treadmill stuff is fine. It's a completely separate game to the pvp.

>>529397914
i hold on to the dream that it might happen in this game
because this would successfully pull off the base building that wrel just didn't implement properly or in any meaningful way

>>529398192
i am pretty sure that turrets are going to be a thing. Because making so many generator types just to power production buildings seems wrong.

what do you guys use your money on? I find myself with 700k in bank and yet I don't really feel like I need anything. I guess I could buy some top tier schematics, but I don't care for PvP (which apparently is vehicle based anyway), and I can already do end game PvE just fine without them, so I don't really feel the need to upgrade

>>529399243
i'm gathering it cause i can't think of anything better to do so i'm treating it like a highscore thing, and to buy any cosmetic bullshit they add if they release it

it would also mean if i ever wanted to play properly again i could just buy a buggy to start over. rn i don't have a base and i just run dd for parts

>>529398125
It's not fine, you can't have balanced PVP and also people get overpowered beneficial gear from farming shit 5 hours a day

Fun PVP relies on everyone being on roughly equal footing and you don't have that if 1 guy has a unique schematic gun with a 200ms TTK even against someone with a maxed out shield.

This is something even Rust sort of managed to do - a naked retard still has a chance of murder-hobo-ing some high end gear queer. That's not possible in dune because the disparity in power between T1 and T6 is enormous and ridiculous. It's a power fantasy by fat retard where he wants to lord over people who can't farm or console command items into their inventory like he can, while never having to actually invest into improving his aim or decision-making in a fight.

Gear queers and treadmill tards are anathema to fun PVP systems.

>>529399243
The only reason to save money in the bank is to stop playing the game and revisit it 2 or 3 years from now to see if there's anything worth a damn and if there is to then have cash on hand to get up to speed faster.

>>529400838
Survival games are all about punching down. I need the thrill of an easy win.

they should add a new location on the worldmap that you fly/taxi to and its just an arena tournament where you fight with various same level presets of equipment, rank up and get some rewards. At least until they can figure out what the fuck they want to do with vehicle combat because right now it makes no sense what so ever.

>>529400838
i get what you're saying but also like the idea and ludonarrative consistency of large, well established factions having better equipment

they mastered the other element of the game to be able to mass produce the better armor. its where the pve part of the game matters and what makes it different to counterstrike or any other alternative

When is we getting thrall mechanics

So I understand the endgame is just dogfighting in ornithopters?

That sounds awesome to me.

Are there any consequences to bringing Zantara's head to the spy in Harko? 1 million sounds nice, but would I be fucking something up if I did it?

>>529402683
you won't be able to do it, the quest is a lie and you will be left with a ring on a cliffhanger

>>529402873
So should I attempt to turn it in in order to progress the quest, or does it not matter at all?

>>529399623
I just downgraded my base to be a tax evasion drop because the credit grind was getting annoying. Teach me.
Pic related, it's ugly as sin, but FREE. Min-maxed 5x5x6 box to easily fit everything without visual clipping.

What are taxes

>>529402496
It could actually be decent if they didn't artificially limit your velocity or flight ceiling and had short TTK's on unshielded thopters.

An additional 1-2km altitude and letting the thopters reach something like 600km/h in a dive would open up actual dogfighting mechanics (which are predicated on storing and using potential energy and bleeding out your opponent's store of potential energy so you can get on his six and kill him).

Low TTK is necessary because you only have fractions of a second to land hits on someone in a dogfight and those hits need to be decisive. 99% of aerial dogfighting isn't guns on target it's setting up having your guns on target. Only 1% of it is actually shooting. The Actual TTK is still many seconds to minutes long because it's in the maneuver not the actual killstroke.

Mechanically they have all the basic components in place for decent dogfighting, they just need to tweak numbers.

>>529402158
I remember in games like foxhole an effective way to take down the enemy was strike their supply lines. I survival games it usually becomes an attrition war, but same thing.

>>529404954
That would work if you had to traverse multiple Deep Desert sized map lengths and couldn't produce materials in your base in the deep desert and had large obvious transports visible from miles away which had to ferry finished goods to your deep desert base.

None of that is true in this game however and its trivial to produce things like ammo with nothing more than random scrap laying around on the ground.

>>529402496
No.
The endgame is you being suddenly ambushed by a swarm of 6-10 ornis with rockets because the draw distance is horrendously short and bombed to smithereens before you have a chance to react.

>>529406714
And then they rocket you to death if you bail out, and set a thumper under the remains of your vehicle because fuck you.

I hope they make dungeons. Make this a proper MMO/Survival hybrid

>>529404748
This. Ornithopters need to operate faster and higher up. People on foot should have anti-air that can kill them super fast if they don't outmaneuver/outrange it.

>>529386809
Oh man I bet they STINK

Can we all start referring to the Bindu Sprint into suspensor combo as "Bene Boosting"? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>529408542
What I learned from Planetside is that effective air to ground weapons means every single player in the game needs to carry anti-air weapons at all times because airniggers are relentless, like fucking mosquitos desperate for a drop of your blood.

Even with low TTK the nature of how aircraft works means they come in, fuck shit up, take a couple hits, and fuck off to repair, so there's no way to actually punish them unless you get them with overwhelming anti-air weapons faster than the airnigger can fuck off out of there.

>>529408315
They'd have to fix the godawful grouping "system" first.

>>529408315
For this game to have any real PvE appeal they'll need to limit the number of people that can undertake an activity simultaneously. Presently, anything "PvE" zoned is just massed (though you may have fun experiences with a limited party), and things zoned as "PvP" just add tension, and are often only limited by how many people you personally have as friends / guild members ready to go (as well as the total loot volume and very faint concerns of friendly fire outside of a party).

Sandstorms still disable power on your base for ~5m regardless of where they are in the DD. AFAIK they shouldn't be damageable by other players if built in the PvE zone. Was anything missing?

>>529411580
There was nothing to be missing, I had basically nothing in there. I checked the event log and it says the sandstorm destroyed the door, however. So they don't just take down the shields, they also damage the base?

If we're being honest with ourselves this should have been a singleplayer game.

>>529411740
It just needs to not be an mmo-hybrid.
Without a modding scene this game is going to be on life-support within a year unless Funcom churns out content packs like spicefiends they won't.

>>529411661
>I checked the event log and it says the sandstorm destroyed the door, however. So they don't just take down the shields, they also damage the base?
Yes. Sandstorms (in all areas) damage unshielded bases. I'm surprised sandstorms alone were able to do enough damage to actually destroy a part of your base though; did you build this base last Tuesday or Wednesday? Try using a construction tool (set to repair) to check the health of other exterior pieces and see what their health is.

>>529414981
it counts down then deletes everything so everything you do up until exactly that point stays as normal

>>529414981
i think the reset is still like 8 hours away

>>529415264
And in the meantime, Hagga Basin gets worse and worse visibility. Last hour before reset it's fucking impossibole to do anything because you can't see 5 metres in front of you.

I just built my first plastanium ingots and built the basic spice rafinery. Upon seeing that you get 1 (one (sic!)) melange per 100 sand, I am now horrified by the sheer amount of grind before me.

Normal and expected.

I didn't play any beta tests but even I could see that this version of the DD is in no way a good form of endgame. The fact that the devs were so shocked at how it turned out and the kneejerk reaction to it is...something. I don't say that as if to complain about pve or pvp, I personally don't give a shit about pvp at all, its just funny to me how funcom was taken by surprise at how it played out.

I suspect there are a few devs on the team who are the kind of players who find the current model of PvP in DD(preying on solos with zergs, rocket spam, basically griefing/ganking) to be the One True Model of PvP, ie. oldfags who never got over the full-PvP MMOs of yore where there were no other options so they stayed populated despite it being miserable for everyone. Now the OTHER devs are realising that maybe, just maybe, that first group of devs is full of shit and the players DON'T actually find that style of being preyed upon entertaining.

>>529414413
I invoke the obligatory Bartle Type connection. Professor Bartle's work should be read in a way to prevent player conflict, but instead developers are either ignorant to base level psychology or read his work as a guide to create the worst game design intersections.

Social types will always be the most literate, followed by explorer types (though there'll be more variety in literacy or at least care for lore here). Achievers are neutral as far as lore and literacy goes but none of the categories play well with the PvP type.

The reason for this widespread delusion amongst game directors is they think it increases "emergence" by contriving conflict.

>But I didn't say anything about PvP
Its inferred because Rust is a game about raiding each others' bases and wrecking each others' shit to steal resources.

Anyone else think Joel is an annoying faggot btw? Every time he was in a livestream he was just a spazzy cringelord. Now this post:
>We still believe in the core concept of the Deep Desert – an endlessly renewing location that resets every week and creates an activity loop for great rewards. The tension of heading out there, head on a swivel, eyes peeled for foes as you enter the most dangerous part of the most dangerous planet in the universe.
>Our wish was that players would embrace this loop, forming guilds to work together to overcome the bleakness of the Deep Desert.
>But as Stephen King says, “Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first.” One of my hands is overflowing right now and sadly not with wishes.
Guys guys it's YOUR fault for not embracing the endlessly rewarding gameplay loop.

>>529424382
Yeah, he's got a way with words that's fucking unfortunate. That metaphor just comes off as "you're filling my hands with shit and destroying my dreams".

Mayhap they shouldn't allow flying vehicles in the pvp zones?

>>529424628
Honestly within an hour of flying my first ornithopter in Hagga Basin I realized how much less fun I was having.
Flight as a form of overland travel in a game that mostly takes place on the ground is always a disastrous idea. WoW for example is much better without flight, including world pvp.

>>529424382
He won't really learn anything from this experience.
And producers/publishers will look at CoD or Battlefront or any number of competitive games and think that catering to the PvP crowd outside of games explicitly dedicated to competition is viable.

Meanwhile a game with massive potential is now metaphorical "shit" in this company's hand because they didn't just do what they did best with Conan Exiles so there could be easy private servers and a thriving modding scene.

>>529424861
Anything that trivialises movement trivialises the game. Way back in the mists of time I played Dark Age of Camelot, and the moment they introduced mounts, the game just kind of lost something.

>>529425132
I played EverQuest and I remember running around as a Bard with Selo's Accelerando and some Mistmoore Battle Drums didn't really impact my enjoyment of overworld travel. I don't feel that ground mounts hurt classic WoW too much either. I think it's because there's a degree of interfacing with the world and knowing its quirks that inspires some kind of positive response as opposed to trying to get a 0 degree bearing on a destination and hitting automove/vulture mode with your flying mount that ignores obstacles and disregards the world and its quirks.

>>529425806
True, it doesn't have as much of an impact, but part of what I meant was that it made faster movement available to everyone instead of being dependent on the classes that had movement as an intrinsic, thereby reducing said classes' value.

>Join Spice Rats
>work my way up to join DD
>Guild implodes in less than 5 days
lmao, might as well remove the guild from the OP, anyone going to make a real turbo autismo /vg/ guild? preferrably one that doesn't make "guild base" that suddenly just gets locked off for all members

My strategy this week? Build a sub-fief over a titanium node in the pve area and afk inside mining the node every spawn with my Tarl's Cutteray while I do other stuff in a different window, and farm spice on the side to get a mk6 cutterray for my buggy so I can park a buggy inside said sub-fief and increase gains.

>>529426087
I've asked repeatedly about the US guild or to make a new guild but unfortunately nobody seems to care and I don't want to start it myself. If EU bros were to make a new guild I might be down to join just so I can finally try out group stuff in this game. Lag be damned, I don't care.

The guilds are shit because the servers are too fucking full for anybody that wasnt there in the early-access launch to get in

>>529426646
I just want to bully other people. Do some thumper tricks and maximize the suffering of other players.

>>529424382
>an activity loop for great rewards
This is where they are fucking up. I do not give a shit about "great rewards". No item you can possibly add to these reward tables is going to be good for the game. I do not want to be forced to do boring PVE farming chores where some ganksquad can set me back literal days of effort. It's fucking retarded.

The reward should be the content itself. Whether it's exploration or it's PVP. The activity itself needs to be the reward and anything else is extra, not the primary driver. When you do this you get people to play because the game is fun, not because they have chores to complete.

Total ass backwards game design they're doing here

>>529427278
Why? Genuinely, what gives you pleasure from that kind of shit?

>>529424861
Because they never introduce any downsides to it, and they don't adapt the game world around it.

You have to make flying inconvenient in its own ways or else people are going to fly everywhere. By the same token, ground travel has to have some forms of convenience or nobody is ever going to do it.

The main things I can think of to do it in this game is to:
1. Spread the POI's out so players aren't hopping in/out of their thopters every 12 seconds. (Deep Desert seems to get it right, but hagga basin isn't designed for thopters at all)
2. Make air travel more vulnerable and dangerous and expensive than ground travel
3. Make ground travel work in the deep desert

Now 2 and 3 have some big problems:
Ground vehicles can't do anything in the desert because of the stupid worm timer mechanics
Ground anything has no defense against mass thopter swarms (or even just a single thopter)

First and foremost to making ground combat happen, they have to either get rid of the stupid worm timer gimmick or they have to introduce hundreds of rock islands all across the deep desert.

>>529242767 (OP)
Best the best PVE set up?

>>529425806
What they really should add to the game is wind. Once you have strong gusts, small dust devils, hotspots creating plumes of rising hot air, you add some environmental interactivity in flight and it's no longer just m1+w to target. Also offers an opportunity to help shut down air travel and flying without necessarily destroying shit with a sandstorm, so people can still be on the ground and doing something.

>>529424628
>>529424861
We went over this with Legion and BfA. We love flying.

>>529428856
Bro, are you seriously suggesting they implement an actual weather system

So I finally got into the Deep Desert and this feels like a sad wet fart. What do you do here? I've been to a few testing stations and those shipwrecks.

>>529428990

>>529428496
>hagga basin isn't designed for thopters at all)
I wonder if the game being so oddly light on content is because hagga basin was a last minute addition and the deep desert got stripped to create it.

>>529429123
You hope a spice blow happens right next to you it won't be totally empty by the time you get to it x1000 times so you can get gear that makes you better at the worst designed pvp imaginable.

>>529429097
Weather is easy as fuck. The sandstorm is weather already. Wind is as simple as updating the sandstorm to push everything left instead of take damage.

>>529429293
We normal players. We love flying. We love PVE. We love farming.

>>529403585
I know this is ugly as fuck and it's essentially just a cube, but is there a set to make this slightly more appealing?

>>529408846
No, it's dindu sprint

>>529424382
yeah, "we wish people would embrace it" is more saying "please eat my eat"

they should have known better than anyone that the DD was aids. and on being informed that it wasn't whatever daydream idea they had while they were fingering their ass, they should have taken it as a teachable moment. because unlike them, other people paid money for this and play it

>>529427541
because its the only kind of world pvp that you can actually have? Not my fault the devs are retards and cant design the game properly. Making vehicles immune to environmental damage is not my fault alongside the other extremely terrible design choices the devs came up with. I will PVP. I will win against with the tools provided to me no matter what.

turning half of the dd into pve might be the worst change i've seen in a game. somehow its made it worse for both pvebabs and pvpfags.

>>529431730
It was a bandaid to stop pve player bleeding. Stop pretending otherwise.

I still haven't been to the DD even after the change because it resets every week so I have no investment. I guess eventually I may go looking for some harder to find resources but I don't really understand why I should, I'm having fun building shit. I wish there were more features and dev time put to building.

>>529431730
i honestly don't mind it. pvebabs got their one welfare t6 for free, worked out they need to either go in to shipwrecks that are almost always empty, or go to pvp zone dungeons where they 1. learn how easy it is to get away from fights, or 2. learn that the people they find in them are often chill. i went in to g3 research station earlier and there was a guy in there soloing it. at the end we were looking at the unlooted box discussing who wants what. this is how pvpfags are created - they realise it doesn't matter if you die, and eventually decide to fight back if the odds are okay. and now they are going to be doing it with half half t5 t6 unique armour, and with any luck with the next drop shuffle, 1-2 unique t6 weapons.

>>529421017

just not interested in the pvp, and the amount of stuff you need to farm for t6 + the melange is just daunting for a single person

Every single fucking development team is like this. You need a fucking robot AI director that isn't going to get hung up on being wrong and will suck it up its positronic ass and pivot to what actually works rather than continuing to do what doesn't.

>>529424628
There has to be a point to the vehicles.
But yeah, I'd certainly like at least some areas that forced ground combat. Maybe a large base, or a cave with multiple chests/control points where people could duke it out without the vehicles. Maybe have some sections of the place large enough to justify buggy/scooter usage.

>>529436107
Perceptive. Game devs are paried with movie people as the absolute worst of the creative class, blaming the customer instead of the product.

The past few years of online gaming have made me horribly racists towards chinks. Part of me wishes they try to take taiwan just so we have an excuse to turn all of china into a radioactive wasteland.

>>529424628
>>529424861
The poke ball idea was so horrific I don't know how or why they went ahead with it. Tarps or netting to keep the thopters safe from 1 storm would have been much better, make it take up 50 volume so its not something you can stack multiple of. Then introduce high atmosphere heat pockets, storms and other dangers. When you get the buggy you have to look around on the map to make sure you know the route at the very leave, and have back up spots to hide if a storm hits. The moment you're flying its just a straight line and safety.

The mercenaries that hunt you down at night can't even see you above them, that should be changed as well.

>>529434978
>1. learn how easy it is to get away from fights, or 2. learn that the people they find in them are often chill.
You lucked out with the server you're on. Most servers are overrun with chink hackers who's only goal is to be such a nuisance that people quit the game.

>>529431730
concept was good, execution was terrible
par for the course really, funcom is a garbage developer and their conan game was purely held afloat by mods and community-ran servers, two things that dune more-or-less inherently lacks for the foreseeable future
maybe they'll enable modder frameworks when the game goes life support mode

1. Place down a chest
2. Put everything damaged in the chest
3. Demolish chest
4. Pick everything up from the ground
5. Log off for at minimum 30 seconds
6. Log back in
7. Everything is now fully repaired

Works on everything, including vehicle parts, you're welcome

Anyone know how to fix this bug? It happens all the goddamn time.

>>529451634

How to see what time of day it is

have the devs made a statement on adding fun to the game yet?

>>529462074
press T or look up in the sky to see where the sun is

>>529462189
the fact that they did not say something today is telling.

>>529462189
Im having fun

Have they said anything about modding and private servers recently? I remember them saying they might add them post launch but that was months ago iirc

i like autistic base building. will i feel like im missing out if i dont get the ultimate edition?

>>529465151
wel, only you can know that. There are base parts only available through the Ultimate edition currently, as well as base parts only available through Twitch drops (which you can still get until Jul 8)

>>529464627
>Have they said anything about modding and private servers recently?
No. You already have private servers, but all that means is can control who is on it.

>>529465151
There are some nice building pieces and furniture in the Ultimate edition, just look them up. I use a lot of them and enjoy the extra variety but some people won't think that price tag is worth it.

>>529465856
Well, your also paying for the first year of DLC (Season Pass), and the first DLC is out now (some animal statues).

>>529466156
If the first DLC is any indication the rest won't be very good

>>529466209
Never ever pre-order

The fact that they're not addressing the dupe glitch at all is so fucking dire. I really expected this game to last at least a year or so.

>>529466458
Didn't conan ever actually fix these glitches? I swear they had the exact same ones

>>529465151
>i like autistic base building.
you will grow hate this game because your progress and buildings get deleted by tax/weather systems unless you live in their hamster wheel and log in every 2 weeks to keep your creation(s) from being swept away

people like to post their big impressive bases but it's genuinely just dust in the wind, it's not something you can save and come back to later on down the line

>>529466742

This overworld flight mini game is trash

>>529466791
>2500 per tile
>1 generator
You are grossly misrepresenting how hard it is to keep a big base going. After finishing the class story quests I have enough money on a 5 tile base to last for a literal IRL year and power is irrelevant. The base I built will only get destroyed the day I get bored of logging in once every two weeks to top it up.

what do the atreides soldiers carry? it's like a double barrel thing that shoots two slugs or some shit and it hurts like a motherfucker

>>529469652
Drillshot

>>529469652
Drillshot, if you have a shield up it will stick to it then penetrate. All penetration attacks (drillshot and melee are the main ones) deal extra damage. You can get rid of drillshots by dodging once, they fall off your shield.

>>529477407
>Enemies should have larger drop pool
in order for that to matter, there would have to be more items at each level that matter. Once your at T5, there are like ten items in the game that matter that drop, perhaps less. Same with chests.

I can't wait for my nigga Stilgar to show up

>>529466851
>le economy suxxxor now
i heard this over and over in conan and it didn't do shit, chinese speedhackers and griefers are more of a consequence to the player, was your big plan to farm a bunch of solari off spice and it tanked the market or what now? who the fuck is farming solari to buy spice?

>>529477705
i would actually like them to drop nothing instead because that shit is actual visual clutter
let those components be in a container or something
it doesn't even make sense unless their weapons magically disassemble on death

>>529481107
There is no economy at the moment. And there won't be one as a result of the dupe glitch. I'm not talking about the current system that barely anyone uses, I'm saying any attempts at creating an actual economy are being raped out of existence before they can even happen.

i'm up to 3 million solari
hopefully that will be of some value in a year when i reinstall this shit and start again

>>529481481
>There is no economy at the moment
you are not entirely correct
the money items just aren't spice and plastanium, they're the annoying shit to get like those pumps or plastanium armor plates etc

if they let you use your thopter inventory, it'll all be a lot better too

but all the money is in the service of absolutely nothing

The first two weeks gives you more sales than anything else. They didn't fix ONE thing from the play test. The only time they fixed anything was putting PvE in because they suddenly realised this would at the absolute minimum tank all sales over the next week as news came out that PvP wasn't actually optional.

Everything stuns and I've noticed that unlike Weirding Step which guarantees a Slow Blade, mostly enemies just dodge out after PBS and deny my slow blade which ends up staggering ME!

In fact the BG tree is weird in general, how is Ignore any better than Compel? They're the same but compel actually does more because the enemy comes to you. Stop is supposed to be a cone AOE but it has such a short range it's pointless.

>>529491814
Ignore is a PVP skill. It actually makes you invisible to the enemy.

Why are people blaming Joel for this stuff when virtually everything Dune has gotten wrong has just been classic funcom retardation? Not to say he isn't a fag but the whole studio has a reputation for doing this shit for over a decade now.

>general shitting itself
>meanwhile I still have so many quests to do and so much stuff to grind 150 hours in
I guess being a solo PvE player has its advantages. If only I could get the dupe to work, not mining in the deep desert would free up a lot of time for nicer things.

I firmly believe that the PVP in the DD is not going to get better. It's fundamentally broken and there's no small change or fix that will fix it.
The entire formula is dog shit that can be overridden with "bring more retards to the fight".

>Remove rockets from thopters
People will just do the same shit with mass ground rockets and lasguns.

>Make increase in stats for higher tier mean more
People who have already abused the meta are the ones with the most access to tech advances so the same status quo will continue.

>Make PvP faction based
Unless servers are going to be perfectly balanced then this doesn't change anything.

>Standard tier homing rocket and lasgun
Will be abused by the same pvpers that they would be implemented to deter.

>Any/All of the above changes + a reset
Would make the most sense but resetting peoples hagga basin progress would instantly kill the game.

I'm getting to the point where I see a fully fleshed out large scale PvE as the only possible way that this game even survives. Any incarnation of the DD where PvP is even remotely similar to how it is now is impossible.

>>529497217
>every node is blocked off
I also dislike this, so I jumped on right after reset to claim a spot just to keep shit open in an early part of the desert. There's two titanium at the top left of D-9 and a stravidium just below the cliff next to the base. There's another stravidium in the center of the rocks as well until someone builds a base on it. I don't know how the Deep Deserts are separated, but I'm on the US server in the OP

for Dune, its probably to go out of their way to tell Dune sperg fans that "THIS IS AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE". Probably something the IP holders want.

>>529514506
Well that brings me onto another point, we have Paul voiced by someone who is decidedly not Timothee Chalamet so why when I meet Leto Atreides at the end of the questline for them does he not have ANY voice acting? It can't be to do with getting the film actor to read the lines since it didn't matter for Pauls lines in the intro.

There are hints of this everywhere like the trials not all being instances but they rushed the hell out of what seems to be most of the end game to the point of the deep desert just being a ""sandbox"" for ""emergent gameplay""

>>529514752
The main thing about the alternate timeline is that it strips the narrative of the first Dune book (and thus the narrative basis of the whole series) and just leaves the world building. Technically, this timeline is how the Dune timeline was SUPPOSED to go, before Jessica decided to give Leto a son instead of a daughter. The daughter was meant to hook up with Feyd to produce the KH.

if the spice is blue (the color of fremen eyes), then why is it purple in this game?
what changed the color of the spice or, why is it purple
the entire reason it's called "the water of life" is because it's fucking blue, the reason fremen have eyes is because they're addicted to magic blue space cocaine
so why the fuck is it purple!!! it's not just "the unrefined color" either because it's purple after it refines in the machine as well. why!

>>529516737
>if the spice is blue
this spice is not blue at all, it just turns human eyes blue from exposure. Though the Water of Life (which is concentrated spice removed from a baby sandworm) is blue, so it may be an universal effect of interaction with biological ingestion.

>>529512120
if you're melee crippling strike or one of the good capstones.crippling is for pvp mostly, or kiting a sticky situation like melee mobs+heavy spamming, weirding step for a far gap closer if melee otherwise there's the gravity fields, standard nade is ok

>>529516737
>hen why is it purple in this game?
its purple in the game as a game mechanic. In Dunc its not really distinguishable from normal sand unless you are real close up. Alternate universe.

>>529517343
well, looking as Dunc images, it looks like spice beds are a darker khaki brown vs the lighter colored sand.

>>529517606
NTA, I'm sure it's purple so you can see spice beds easier. Canonically, spice smells like cinnamon and the spice-gas in navigator tanks is described as orange. I'm sure Frank Herbert just imagined it looked like cinnamon powder, since it's sort of orange in color.

>we were robbed of spice surveying kino because retards needed koolaid gamer paint to play the fucking game

>>529521091
>spice surveying kino
Wouldn't really be a thing because of spice blows. Can see them across the map.

Ive said in this general before that the problem with T6 from a solo PVE'rs perspective is that its designed for guilds to process sufficient T6 mats to enable and sustain DD PVP. But another angle is that what things in T6 there are that could be considered useful outside of that use case are themselves solutions to problems that have already been sufficiently and efficiently solved at T4/T5. While there are things that are better in T6 than T5/T4, the problems/pressures from a survival crafting perspective are effectively addressed at t4/t5, and are far easier to sustain. And in a survival crafting game, the thing that solves a problem in the cheapest/easiest way possible is always going to win.

>>529521462
yeah and actively hunting a big fucking explosion and surveying the blow-site would be a lot more exciting than finding where billy spilled his fun-dip on the way to the infinite water cornerstore
i wish we had mods so we could make everything suck more

>>529521539
actually, from the standpoing of pressures to address, there really is only one addressed by the tech tree-water for personal consumption, and thats solved once you get a literjohn and a dew harvester. its not solved by blood bags and extractors, since that still involves risk. Everything beyond that just makes things more convienent.

>>529521539
This was a really long sentence that could have just been: T6 sucks, T5 does the same thing.

>>529521539
So then pve players stick to T4/5 for efficiency's sake while the pvp players get to struggle for T6 autism?

>>529522684
t5 doesn't have a water scythe or a blood shlorper for some reason, there's a lot of seemingly deliberate gaps in the tiers to encourage you to go for the endgame shit even if you've got terminal farmville brain and don't care about killing other players

>>529522684
It's more "T6 is absolutely shit from cost-benefit perspective in comparison to T5".
Also the point of T6 gear is basically to be better in PvP in DD so you can farm more mats for T6 gear.

>>529522825
Yes, if the PVE players are experienced with survival crafting games it tends to imprint a desire for efficiency. This is a poor survial crafting game, though, but I suspect it was designed to only concern itself with pressures that are iconic to the Dune franchise, almost a Dune theme park ride that ends with their intended PVP endgame. Its missing some fundemental things necessary for a sufficient survival game experience, I elaborate on that in a different post.

>>529520757
The books are a bit vague but refer to spice being blue on several occasions but it might depend on how old/how high quality/whether it was treated or refined because it is also referred to as reddish on occasion.

>>529523048
>t5 doesn't have a water scythe or a blood shlorper for some reason,
and their not needed because the t4 ones solve the problem of alleviating survival pressure. The only reason to move beyond a basic dew harvester and a literjon is convienence and speed to move up the tech tiers.

I don't think we should be able to go out so freely during the day. It destroys my immersion.

They are literally not even close? And the other side I can't expand into since it's a "No Building Zone" but it also not near anything. This sucks I'm going to need to uproot my whole base from prime real estate.

I wanted to do a big fortress archway for people to pass under.

>>529523934
temperatures need to get baking hot like 70 degrees my lungs are burning trying to breathe if you try walking across rock that's baked all day in the sun

>>529523520
An adequate survival crafting game (especially one that aims to be a live service) has to have a few things at its foundation to work.

First, it has to be based in a world where you cannot escape pressures to survive, and thus are required to progress up the tech tree in order to address those pressures. This is why survival crafters often exist in post apocalyptic settings or wild alien planets devoid of civilization. Dune Awakening fails that test because once I get across the Vermillious Gap, I can go to Anvil and take a one way flight to Arakeen/Harko Village, and face absolutely no survival pressure at all. I won the game, and can log off, my character is permanently full of water and safe from any danger forever, and if I log in again, I am still that way. There is nothing else about my character that degrades in any way that I have to engage in game mechanics to address.

>>529524789
>if i log off and never play the game again i can never lose, checkmate devs
???

>>529523934
But the movies took place mostly during the day so we can't do that.

>built a subfief enclosing a titanium node in a pve sector
>place a buggy with a t6 cutterray inside
>fired up another game
Yep, time to safely farm while I play other games.

I always figured spice as being a pale blue. The purple doesn't seem as pretty.

>>529525658
why are you even playing at that point, other than just to be a bother to everyone else?

>>529526151
Um, isn't it obvious? So I can get plastanium and make t6 equipment so I can progress in the game without ever being attacked by players.

>>529524789
Second, there are insufficient amounts of survival pressures to engage the player with a need to address them by progressing through the tech tree. Progressing up the tech tree is about convenience only. For one, there is no need for calories or any type, which is oddly appropriate for Dune as an IP as the subject of food is almost never addressed or visualized, its hyper focused on the need for and importance of water. The only real pressure that exists once you have solved water with a literjon and dew harvester isn't survival related. The need to fuel a base (and pay taxes as well, but that can be avoided) is not designed as a survival pressure, its designed to eliminate player structures from the game if the player is no longer playing sufficiently, thus freeing up space for active players. Also, you can get full T5 weapons/armor and bikes/buggies/thopters as drops from chests you usually dont have to fight NPC's over since they are in highly farmed HB locations and thus the vast majority of the tech tree itself is just a matter of convenience, not necessity. In fact, I believe the only thing that addresses survival pressure adequately is a literjon that is not a drop is a literjon, and I think you can buy one from a trading post.

>>529524789
>>529526267
How about the fact that other than searchlights from Sardaukar ships, enemies never come for you? They just hang out in their camps and are very weak and easily dealt with. You could throw up an unguarded subfief console and be safe forever.

>>529526262
>so I can progress in the game
progress where? you're clearly not enjoying the game if you're just afk grinding, and there's nothing left to do after getting to plastanium

>>529525047
in a live action game, yes, though it does make sense for a live action game to have a place to park your character if you are going to be gone for a while. But most games are not like Dune Awakening, which from a PVE perspective is billed as a survival crafting games; most such games are single player, and thus the mechanics by necessity "stop the world" when the game is closed. Im not saying that you should have to log in sufficiently to keep your character alive, Im only pointing out that the survival crafting games usually dont have such places to begin with.

>>529525658
This is the most based man on the entire board. Have an updoot my anon

>>529526635
Progress to...
1) Cutting Edge contract
2) Being stronger so I can do DD biolabs faster
3) Having more efficient tools for building more heckin sweet bases and work benches/refineries
4) Be ready for future content
5) Possibly pvp when the sweatbloats go back to Rust or LoL or w/e

>>529526594
yes, but more broadly, there are no threats other than human (the sandworms do not not count). Though you do run into roaming humans in the northern area. But again, thats also a design choice to stay consistent to the IP, even though it constrains game design options.

>>529451017
I can confirm that the Repair Glitch works as of the time I made this post.

Kekd IRL, gitgud plebs.

>>529526151
This is what the devs made their game into

people are playing optimally, and optimal play is building a base around a resource node to monopolize it and then farm it for yourself
intended game design and behaviour, if it wasn't then it wouldn't have been made this way

This is as gud as it gits.

>>529527340
>They could've incorporated attack dogs, more varied armaments
None of these are consistent with the IP, especially weapons. Go to the Dune Wiki and look at the weapons section. You have more weapons in the game now than are in the books, if only by a small amount. There COULD be such things as vehicles and turrets, yes.

>>529527320
Use NetLimiter for the dupe glitch.

>>529527512
FWIW, a CM post on the discord indicated they were aware of the resource node blocking and that its not an intended behaviour and were looking at ways to address it.

>>529527391
There's a general mentality with spice farming in the PVP zone of "leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." Some anons will go at you, but most are like you - they just want spice, but aren't willing to risk a payload over shit PVP.

>>529527391
spice tornados aren't real and if they were the spice should be like quicksand as it's bubbling with carbon dioxide and without a rebreather it should also be lethal to stand in the spice depressions because again they would be filled with carbon dioxide

>>529527512
it's anything but optimal
it's just afk "gameplay" - boring and slow, while also being a bother to everyone else on the server

>>529527820
yeah thats great but community managers don't make the game and dont decide how the game mechanics work

the game mechanics let you build on resource nodes and monopolize them, until that changes mechanically, it's intended behaviour because it's what actually happens no matter how much pant shitting and pissing anyone on the dev team does about it

if they dont like it they can try being less stupid about how they design their game and actually try thinking about the consequences of their decisions and mechanics for once

>>529527627
>go to the dune wiki
Read the books instead. Attack dogs are consistent with the IP. Weapon designs could be more varied if they were better designed. The game is also more consistent with the film IP than books, the film itself just makes shit up anyway.

>>529527980
it very clearly is optimal or else people wouldn't do it

>>529527980
>boring and slow

>>529528128
>it's intended behaviour
its not intended, because the game was not designed to deliberately allow you to do it intentionally. There is a difference behind a deliberate design choice that intentionally enables a behaviour and a deliberate design choice that inadvertently enables a behaviour. I

>>529528590
it is intended because the game does nothing to prevent it

your feelings about it do not matter, the only thing that matters is the cold hard reality of how the game works

you can cry about how unintended it is, you will never change anything and until someone on the dev team unfucks their idiot decisions the game will forever have people building on resource nodes, it is the defacto intended gameplay because it doesn't prevent it and people are incentivized to do it

go whine and cry some more it's not going to change anything

>>529528213
>The game is also more consistent with the film IP than books
yes, notice who is involved in the title screens. Also, cite a reference for attck dogs in Dune. The only dog I have been able to find on Arrakis in Dune media was the pug in Dune 84, which was hardly an attack dog.
The only aveneue that Funcom is going to use to stray beyond what is already in the game weapon wise (other than stuff we already know about like tanks) is set up by the end of the Mentant advanced trainer storyline, where the Tleilaxu are involved, or Ixians.

>>529528590

>>529529189
>>529529291
And what will you say when they address it by preventing you from doing it? Since its going to happen. They did not intend for it to occur, and probably did not think it was important because ore spawn locations change every week both in the DD and HB, and there was enough spawns in the DD to fight over. Then they changed their mine about the PVE area of the DD, with the overriding concern being PVE access to T6 ore. So their game design decisions changed, and that led to issues they did not account for. Thus it was not intended.

>>529529856
They will never address it. But let's say they do address it in some way that isn't just adding more nodes, and assuming it doesn't take them 3-6 months to do it... already got my bag, don't care.

>>529526635

>>529529856

>when they address it
lmao enjoy waiting 6 months or however long it takes these incompetent retards to do anything

If this game were run by people who knew what they were doing and were good at their jobs we wouldn't even be talking about this because it would've been mitigated before it even happened because someone smart would've said, "hey do we want players to be able to monopolize resource nodes...?" and other smart people would've said, "hmm no, that doesn't seem like a good idea we've got to change our plans a little bit here"

instead this company is run by monkey fucking morons and you get to be along for the ride as they idiotically stumble their way through a litany of bad design decisions they can't predict the outcomes of because their team is staffed by actual idiots. The one or two guys with an IQ above 120 in this company who tried to talk sense into the crowd of retards have obviously been unsuccessful/fired/given up already.

and you should know better than to expect any studio to take any competent actions when you've been given so many examples that they won't

Worst thing about survival games is having to share space and resources with gaming's most inbred retards.
>>529532571
Fixes nothing, game would still just be ornithopter combat all day.

I'm debating whether or not to get this game.

Things that look good to me:
>Dune
>Base building
>Fun traversal
>Endgame PVP being ornithopter dogfights
Things that look shit to me:
>About as immersive as a phone game. Ugly UI. Very barebones player interactions. Small scale as far as MMOs go.
>Economy ruined by cheaters already.
>PVP reported to be zergy messy dogshit.
>Devs don't seem to have a great plan for any of these issues and are just flailing around changing shit.


If I didn't want the ultimate edition for the extra basebuilding stuff I probably wouldn't be so conflicted. $80 just seems like a lot for a game that might fizzle out in a few months.

>>529532712
>can actually do pve t6 biolabs now and get actual loot
>now immune to being ganked because nobody can catch them before they reach the pve zone
PvE players made out like bandits.

>>529532883
>Endgame PVP being ornithopter dogfights
Sorry but that's the worst part of the game.

>>529532883
I haven't used virtually any of the ultimate edition basebuilding stuff because it doesn't fit into my Harkonnen aesthetic.
>Economy ruined by cheaters already.
This shit makes me so sad. Supposedly the duping glitch is the same one from Conan Exiles too. How could they let this happen?

>full loot rule on landsraad
Watch DD become a ghost town for a week

>>529533125
it's not even dogfights because it's just 100% w+m1 retard hoverbattles where numbers above all else matter, there's no such thing as ace piloting in this environment

>>529533230
Harko Ornithopters look sick but the Giger ribcage buildings clash too much with the desert landscape for me.

>>529533230
>How could they let this happen?

it's not like it came out of left field. Predictable problems they haven't addressed in previous game that is carrying over to current game.

That tells me the people on this team making this game are a combination of stupid, incompetent, and lazy. You can't skirt around it. You have the exact same duping methods from their previous game now showing up in their new game. That's inexcusable, there is no "we couldn't have known" - they knew and chose to do nothing about it.

>takes 300 spice to reveal what a house requires for the week
>1 spice melange requires 750 water and 100 Spice Sand

no thanks

>>529533684
>Giger ribcage
I wish. It's the Villeneuve septic tank styling.

I feel like every single qualm I have with this game would be addressed by hosting my own private server.
Do private servers have deep deserts? Do you think they'll ever implement dedicated somehow?

>>529533609
You would need to add higher speed limits, probably increase flight ceiling, and add energy management to the flight model and lower TTK for the aircraft, for dogfights to even begin to resemble something skill based.

Kind of like how melee has stamina, aerial dogfights have potential energy.

But in this game they give the aircraft so little stamina that you can't actually get an advantage out of it, so there's no ace piloting you can do to conserve your stamina, drain your opponent's stamina, and then expertly kill him once he can no longer maneuver out of your gunsights.

Technically speaking they do have everything there mechanically (I think I said this earlier) to make air combat skill based and functional. It really just requires tweaking numbers (higher speeds, higher flight ceiling, lower hp) but will they do anything like that? fucking lmao no they won't

>>529534341
If this game dies and goes on some kind of life support maintenance only deal where they start letting players mod the game, that's when it will get good, because that's when people will be trying out all the ideas the devs shelve because it doesn't fit 'their vision' or whatever, and some of those ideas will work out and make the game 300% more fun to play.

in essence it's a natural selection process while the game devs are working on a directed evolution process

and while natural selection won't get you a game that fits 'your vision' it does get you a game people like to play

>>529533986
Just dupe it. Only way they’ll ever do anything about it is if everyone exploits it.

>>529532883
>About as immersive as a phone game
Really? I find it pretty immersive myself, the vibes are immaculate.

FWIW I have the UE and the Caladan Palace stuff is not a full set, it's just extra bits for Atreides Stronghold which you probably won't get until like 50 hours in anyway.

The Muad'dib pet and orange/gold swatch were the best things but they were preorder only. I thought we left that shit behind like 10 years ago but apparently not.

how

>>529537819
You know for all the discussion around DD there's not half as many pointing out that like 90% of the endgame is also reliant on you being in a guild, doing these Landsraad challenges and being lucky enough to not get mogged by bigger guilds.

It's a real shame so many items are exclusive to this meme system.

>>529537819
300 melange lets you see the objective early. Probably stockpiling.

does DD have carbon crystals
i want to do a 'from nothing' run and see how far i can get before my sand castle gets knocked over

they're banning entire guilds for that duping shit now
glad i was too lazy and poor to try it

>>529544139
they're banning people for duping but not hotfixes the exploit?

>>529544316
don't know, just heard the first part
there is a patch today or tomorrow

kino

>>529546834
Harkos desire a society where only the strong survive.

>>529548293
wouldnt them getting buffed to shit mean they are weak

Patch tomorrow, are we hopeful?

>>529532883
I've played 220 hours so far since release and even ignoring the sorry state of Endgame right now I would wholeheartedly recommend the game. I think it's very immersive, fun gameplay loop, 10/10 voice acting and surprisingly good writing too. The player economy was fucked from the start since it's server and not region-wide. Which means there's almost nothing on the market, and what little is on there was never priced 'correctly'.

>>529549480
i started enjoying dd somehow so i'm ok
any improvements would be good

come home white man

>>529550432
>There are still no gap fillers for angular walls holding up a larger round floor

It's like the third time some fag starts ramming his orni into mine trying to stop me from flying up on DD, what's up with that?

>>529549480
>Patch tomorrow, are we hopeful?
I am expecting it to be a nothingburger. You can't hotfix and patch your way out of this mess.

>characters eyes are now blue

I guess there's no way to avoid this? Like I'm just condemned to death now unless I sell my soul for spice for the rest of my life?

>>529551835
you can turn it off
i can't look right now but it was inventory tab somewhere

>>529551835
Inventory, D, click off Eyes of Ibad under your character model.

>>529551835
press the d on the side of the screen
its eyes of ibad

>>529536394
I tried duping 5 times, instant disconnect. I think it's only something laggy people can do.

>banned for duping
Eh at least I got 150 hours out of this shit

>>529555605
very cool show ban code when you try to log in in case someone says your story is fake!
