Actually had my first extended PVP fight when I dipped into the i5 lab on off hours and ran into a 2-man on the 2nd or 3rd gauntlet room

I committed all in while they were distracted, killing one with a one-two disrupter pistol combo and the other with rapier, and what followed was a fun as hell 30 minutes as they respawned and came back and tried to dethrone me in the room while I kept killing them as well as one or two other randos solos who came back in. They got me eventually, though. But it was a lot of good fun and great practice, and I had something like a 6:1 KDR so I can't complain. After I left to do other things though they reached out in global chat to ask if I looted the chest and I told them no, a log camper prolly got it while we were fighting each other. Lmao.

Another thing I learned. Healkit Mk6 are fucking great as a solo pvper, you don't need all the swordmaster and BG perks to turn into a regen monster with these. They give like 110 insta regen plus 100 HoT just with the 1pt swordmaster instaheal, so it's basically to full every time if you can get the 4-5 seconds behind a column or corner to apply it. And it only costs 1500 in offworld mdical supplies. No reason not to have a stack of 20 when you're expecting a tough fight, though you should carry lower end meds as well.

Not enough anons care to take responsibility for the thread, sadly. Or they don't know how to post one.

>>531514771

I guess it was inevitable

>>531514771
not enough anons still care to post about this game because there's nothing to talk about now we're all at T6 and the deep desert is a big empty piece of shit

Deep Desert, more like Deep Deserted amirite

Joel
You did this
You killed us
You and your vision
You and your golden path

they abandoned the vision though, folded like cucks

>>531517732
No they didn't, they compromised on the vision and made it worse for everyone in the process. Also the game doesn't support the original vision they had in mind for the endgame in the first place. Joel just assumed every single player would autistically roleplay the part of these fake epic battles they staged for their trailers even though there's absolutely no systems in place to facilitate it. Can't even have guild vs guild fights because it's impossible to tell who the fuck anyone is unless you're in a party.

Ooft, an attempt was made, but this didn't turn out how I imagined

>>531518798
I think it looks nice and eye-catchingly unusual even if the entrance elevation looks a bit weird. You using harko pieces inside-out?

>>531518798
Looks like two porta-potties

This isn't looking good funcom bros, what are we gonna do to fix this?

>>531519169
Yeah, I was testing to see if the silver version of the Hark pieces would look better than the black, it also has some of the twitch pieces in it (mostly the floor which is also silver, and the windows).

>>531519763
Pretty fucking accurate lol

>>531514771
I'm honestly just here to watch the demise of this game in real time now that there's nothing left to actually do in the game.

the peak concurrent players drops something like 5k from one day to the next and it's already lost 65% or so of its original playerbase. That's incredible. I don't think I've seen anything but SJW libtard games crash and burn this quickly until now.

>>531522185
>One tiny change to make DD Faction v Faction
>Game would instantly be saved
Its amazing how little is needed to make a good game, and how much is lost by developers sticking to the wrong ideas

Any website have the list of t6.5 dd wreck/lab blueprints on rotation, complete with drop rate percentage?
Trying to grab my last BiS pieces before the long sleep

Those folx malding at dupers at end of last thread really remind me of BIPOC apes in contemporary america malding at the generational wealth of whites. That pathetic, mixed sense of FOMO, envy, and unfairness that makes them angry at the Mayflower WASP kid whose parents gets them a card for their 800k USD trust fund account on his 20th birthday

And dupers with 10m solaris in the bank act similarly:
>why they so mad lol

someone in previous threads mentioned you don't get dura damage for fall deaths

Could you use DD bases and respawn beacons for ersatz fast travel then? Pocket your orni, jump to your death, 1 minute warp to row H or I lab of your choice, or the entrance, or your DD FOB, or hagga.

>>531522304
The survey they put out earlier makes it clear this is a company that makes decisions by committee, there's nobody in charge and nobody at fault. They are only just beginning to realize they have an actual problem with player retention, and that they don't actually understand what their players need or want, hence the survey they started yesterday, 3 weeks after they should've already had alarm bells going off.

Getting results from the survey will take a couple more weeks of course. So there won't be any changes or pivots before that.
Then a few weeks of meetings for the retard committee to figure out what direction they should be taking the game. Someone's gotta read through the thousands of messages left by players who took the survey as well, and then write a report on player sentiments for an incompetent manager or bigwig to roll his eyes at and ignore.

A month from now they MIGHT be forming up a plan to deal with the lack of an endgame and what players think is wrong with the game.

This is what hiring women, male feminist-ally eunuchs, and yes-men jeet diversity hires actually gets you.

>put missile launcher on auction house
>go back to check it
>its fucking gone completely with no status of it being sold or expired
what the fuck

>>531523975
Yeah you know you're fucked if you have to do surveys. Game design principles are universal and obvious, anyone who actually plays games would know them.

>>531526042
VISION'D

>>531523975
>The survey they put out earlier makes it clear this is a company that makes decisions by committee, there's nobody in charge and nobody at fault. They are only just beginning to realize they have an actual problem with player retention, and that they don't actually understand what their players need or want
Stuff like this is so hard to accept though given that they received the exact same feedback throughout the entire beta period that they then knee-jerk reacted to after being told the same thing after launch. They had been consistently told that the DD design wasn't going to work, and that they needed something meatier for the endgame gameplay loop.

>>531526630
And well, what do you think happens when you get mass player feedback for months and months in an environment where nobody is actually responsible for anything and everyone passes the buck onto someone else?

It's nobody's problem to personally deal with. Someone else will do it. It's not my job. Nobody told me to do anything. I'm not a boss, I can't just go deciding things for myself.

Complete lack of initiative, a paralysis of the committee, is the bog standard problem you see with committees and "democratic" leadership everywhere they pop up. You need to have someone in charge calling the shots or you get a deer in the headlights company that can't get shit done.

This game took them 6 years to make. Their first response to the mounting disaster is to do a survey, a month after it's already obvious they were up shit creek. This has design-by-committee written all over it, and that means they WILL fuck up the response as there is nobody with an ounce of intelligence making decisions.

I'll bet the only reason a survey went out was because some exec noticed they weren't hitting retention targets and they had a week of meetings to figure out why, couldn't come to a conclusion about it, and decided to ask the playerbase what they wanted instead.

This game is fucking cooked broski. All I'm here for now is watching this slow motion trainwreck and checking how many of my predictions I get right. Each week that goes by I get more convinced they aren't turning this around. We're approaching week 5 post-launch and there is still nothing done about the endgame and PVP in general. There's not even a basic bitch dueling arena or matchup system that would've taken a literal day for one competent guy to add to the game. They have done absolutely fuck all for a MONTH to fix their gameplay issues.

>Getting massive rubber banding for no reason
Day 1 this should have been a solo/coop game. It would have saved them so much time, effort and long term pain.

>>531528210
How does a game with literally 1 person per square kilometer and 10 people total on the server map even manage to have rubberbanding issues

I'm laughing and also in awe at this studio

>>531526630
surely they aren't so stupid that they'd ignore playtesters or just dismiss the information completely before a release

it has to either be
>fuck it good enough
or
>unreliable sample base of mega dedicated players, what they're saying won't be a problem for everybody lmao

it can't really just be
>oh yeah well FUCK you buddy our idea is INCREDIBLE and will survive contact with reality

>>531528606
Its Unreal (how shit this engine is)

>>531528980
>oh yeah well FUCK you buddy our idea is INCREDIBLE and will survive contact with reality
This game received massive backlash for specifically saying on the steam page that you are never forced to PvP, when you are forced to PvP in the basin with crashed ships and the entire T6 end-game was forced PvP. When they made their "fix" all they did was extend the PvE in the DD; but didn't put any of the major nodes of ores in the PvE area.

It is 100% fuck you we know best attitude.

>>531523975
>Someone's gotta read through the thousands of messages
Its going to be an AI summary, no human's reading all that shit.

>>531529278
how does a company with 2 decades of experience building MMO style games fail to build a robust network architecture for their latest MMO style game that is also only featuring a few dozen players per server shard - a fraction of what their older MMO style games had to deal with

that shouldn't even be possible - Anarchy Online, another funcom game, was able to handle 50,000 players on a single server. This game is maxing out at 60.

>surely they aren't so stupid that they'd ignore playtesters or just dismiss the information completely before a release
The most popular versions of Conan are solo/coop servers with pure PvE. Funcom went and released a pure PvP map, which had to be guttered and turned into a PvE one because the backlash was so big.

They've done the EXACT same thing here, 1:1 with no attempts at doing a better job of it. Someone(s) at Funcom are addicted to shitty designed PvP ideas and they're poisoning the entire well because clearly the PvE part of these games are great between the world/missions/progression/art/ect.

>>531530991
People are properly getting banned for duping now so don't do this unless you want the risk. Lots of the forums I've been on for the dupes are filled with people bitching about being banned. I duped but weeks ago, no ban (yet).

>>531531090
probably should of started with PVE and some limited PVP and then expanded on which ever the player base was asking for. example would be the DD each week when it resets the PVP area changes. they need to fix chest camping too

>>531529431
>but didn't put any of the major nodes of ores in the PvE area
They REMOVED like 80% of the ores that were there, and put the ones that remained on a 45 minute respawn timer. It stinks of kneejerk "punishment" for shitting on Joel's Vision, not any kind of balanced playtested decision.

>>531532000
Oh, and then they reduced the amount of ores by like 50% AGAIN after that, last week.

so joel's notion of game design was he used raid gear to gank in wow 30 years ago and now he wants absolutely nothing else but to recreate that impossible advantage even in a game that genuinely isn't even a real rpg?

was he making a game he could actually win at, and he needed double the armor of the next person? does joel understand that for every person that has fun being a faggot, there is at LEAST 1 that didn't? and not merely that, that (at least) 1 person might be feeling particularly frustrated that they weren't permitted fight or flight and were effectively reliving stranglethorn veil leveling?

did mr fucking gravy apocalypse obese fat retarded cocksucker think at all or is this some dark triad thing where it was intentional that things would be this shitty?

>>531532878
his a dreamer who thinks he can recreate a moment in time that only existed for him. it's good sometimes, but he must of gained to much power at Funcom and has gone Ahab

>>531532000
>>531532503
Of 753 nodes 33 are in the PvE area and 720 in the PvP zone, in other words only 5% of nodes are PvE. Its hilariously stupid.

>>531532878
>so joel's notion of game design was he used raid gear to gank in wow 30 years ago and now he wants absolutely nothing else but to recreate that impossible advantage even in a game that genuinely isn't even a real rpg?
The problem with sadism is you don't know you're a sadist. You enjoy dominating others and have no regard for how others feel about it, you would need empathy and by having empathy you can't be sadistic. It also means its not physically possibly for Joel to receive feedback because he genuinely cannot comprehend how a group of people using overpowered gear to kill a solo player is bad, he got joy out of it, why would that be bad?

>>531543796
It is T6, Tier 6, you dumb nigger. Mk only refers to vehicles.

You should be able to convert or use-in-place spice-laced plasti and duralu in place of reg versions

>Mk only refers to vehicles
Power Packs, Holtzman Shields, Blood Extractors, Cutterays, Dew reapers, Emperor's Wing Suspensors, and heal kits have mark designations dumbass.

First attempt was bad but this is better, I'm hoping it just inspires someone on the server to use the silver side of the Hark pieces and make something fun.

And yes I slapped in every single light source at the top, doesn't brighten it up at all. Only the floor/wall tiles with built in lights actually show up at any distance (which is just the Observer ones and the computer like pieces both Hark/Atr have).

>>531554281

>>531511840
yeah, the triple shot dungeon is great this week. if we get an ancient way dungeon in the future it will go crazy.

>>531554428
a lot of the lights are just emissive and won't actually cast any light anywhere unless you have lumen turned on
The rest of the lights are point sources with a throw range of like 5 meters, and again you won't see much/any light unless you turn lumen on
and then culling and LoD will make sure you won't see any lights past like 30 meters in the open

so your hopes of some kind of lighthouse or something are not ever gonna pan out, the best you're gonna get is lumen in your base making 2 or 3 lights good enough to light up the interior at night.

They don't even seem to do bounding box/whatever calculations so interior lighting always picks up atmospheric ambience even though it shouldn't, which I frankly hate. I don't like being in the middle of my house and the floor has a moonlit blue sheen to it. It's ugly and ruins the whole point of using lumen

>>531522615
https://dune.gaming.tools/deep-desert has what you ask.

>>531556589
Yeah the lighting sucks at any distance, which I guess is to stop it being taxing on peoples games but still, looks bad

>>531532878
>did mr fucking gravy apocalypse obese fat retarded cocksucker think at all
if you didn't notice, the only somewhat thought-through thing is t1-t5 hagga activities
DD as a whole concept is beyond stupid

>>531556961
engine.ini

r.Lumen.Radiosity.Distance=7000

Default I think is 5000, whatever units it is, it corresponds to ~50m or above, 70m. It handles the range of lumen bounces or something. I can't say I know for sure what it's doing but it felt like, for example around the electrified sandworm there's a giant red hologram, it feels like the light from that gets thrown out further with 7000 vs default radiosity distance.

It should more or less make outdoor areas look a little more accurate with lumen and shouldn't cost dramtically more performance for you. I would guess 5fps at most. It depends more on the amount of geometry rather than the distances involved apparently (according to chatgpt so...)

I don't put them up for 30 days, I always go for 3.
It's just that when you sell something (or if it's unsold and the listing decays) the proceeds (or unsold items) go to the my orders tab, and you have 30 days to collect them

so the orange t6 unique guns (as in the weapon skin) are straight up better than the t6 uniques that aren't orange? At least it looks that way between Salusan Vengance and Indira's lullaby. Or maybe there's burst fire sidegrade type fuckery that I'm not understanding from the tooltip comparisons

This is the most anti-fun/anti-gameplay bullshit I ever witness.

Anything mk6 related is empty on my server and half mk5 empty too. I was lucky enough to grab a unique mk5 compactor blueprint for 50k yesterday, probably the only thing Im ever gonna buy at AH anyway. My sietche is so empty that I get to go dig any small spice patch, so much so that it seems faster than to go DD for that

Dayum shame. With some more polish this game could've been very long lasting

They really back themself in a corner. I never played Warframe but how does that game keep living on 10+ years and retain people

>>531618579
Warframe would drop patches all through the week and the game would only require a restart to apply it, no maint required. The other thing that kept warframe alive is that they sat down with the devs every week, hosting a show to talk about what they were working on and fixing. I don't really know of any other game that does that. PSO2/NGS does a monthly show, but it's pre-recorded and corporate. Nothing like the chill drinking live vibes Warframe has as they interact with twitch chat.

>>531618579
>I never played Warframe but how does that game keep living on 10+ years and retain people
lots of reasons. Its a looter shooter, so the grind is intrinsic to it and repetative, but there is a ton more variety in builds because the difficulty is capped in most things at a reasonable level. DE also has a proven track record at consistently releasing content, and that content more than lasts until the next releasae, with the content itself being more varied and experimental than most games. While PVP technically exists in Warframe, not only is it dead, DE admits its dead and does not try to make it otherwise, since its not something the vast majority of the playerbase wants and opens a huge can of worms by itself. I could go on. Warframe and DE are pretty much the opposite of Dune (as both an IP and this game) and Funcom.

>>531620735
>Nothing like the chill drinking live vibes Warframe has as they interact with twitch chat.
DE devs interact the communitty a minimum of 2 hours and 15 minutes a week almost every week, except not this week (the two hour show would normally be this evening) because they are putting on a concert and their annual, sold out convention on Saturday. DE interacts more with its players in one week, evey week, than most devs will do for the life of their games.

>>531621224
Happy Birthday Nick Gurr

>>531620735
>>531621224
Warframe also rotated in different kinds of engineers/artist to explain the technically details of their job and demo what they were working on. People would get to see how it was made and be involved with the process. Not just a one-off PR stunt.

>approach a large spice field during off hours

Good thing I'm not doing Elite PvP.

But yeah I finally understand all the bitching about ganking. This shit is just unacceptable

>>531620867
Fuck, I'm now imagining a Dune game made by DE...

>>531618579
I see 8 new buildings, including three new bases in western shieldwall where my old aluminum depot was. The new structures are mainly Atreides/Harkonnen buildings, and there's a creative builder over by the Harkonnen side around the rift, they made circular bases from CHOAM blocks.

>>531544052
Its spice laced metal dust, not an ingot

So many decaying bases in Basin and cant loot a single one.

If it's without power it should unlock all chests desu

>>531636429
if you get to DD you can raid bases with actual loot in them, if a sandstorm hits them

>>531638092
People make fucking maze bases just to get around this, hidden rooms and shit

>>531636429
I thought delinquent taxes + no power = lootable in Hagga. That's some BS.
I have bases breaking all over while I'm in the DD, and I only come back to see plastone.

>>531639164
That works in other survival games, here it's just popping source of power and lasguns and your base is dismantled in 30 seconds flat if we find your console and all chests will be broken into and vehicles pushed onto sand and thumpered.

>>531638092
This is like finding a unicorn.
>They need to be offline
>They need to be idiots and didn't put up 10 layers of walls
>You need to be nearby when there is a sandstorm
>You got 6 minutes max to break through and find the subfief
>There actually needs to be good loot in there or it was all for nothing

If it works it's hilarious but I think I've been in two sandstorms so far in the DD. Either I'm really unlucky or they are very infrequent.

>>531640382
The subfief 'building' still needs to break due to sandstorm damage as far as I know, and literally everything else will be destroyed first.

Unless you happen to be around when the storage boxes get destroyed, I don't think you can ever realistically loot a base in HB.

Week 2 I spent 7 hours building a sturdy and well-equipped titanium mining base. I'm solo at this point, so it's hauling a lot of heavy materials to I2.

My best and only base raiding experience. Now everyone has bases on E and won't bother building anything more than a temporary hanger in the PvP zones.

Why do rockets from thopters damage players through shields? What purpose does it serve from design standpoint?

>>531643292
The lead dev for this game mained as a terran repblic mosquito pilot and wanted to bring that excellent and amazing skill based gameplay to dune

>>531644264
What gameplay? Spamming ground-based troops who can't even shoot back because it drops the shield and they die to one rocket hit?

>>531625379
It's also hard to understand? It's like a deliberate choice to have render distance that low. I severely doubt performance is actually affected by it.

The only other guess I have is that it's extremely spaghetti networking.

How many squares are a standard fief? How big of a box can you fit into it?

>>531640729
DD is huge, you can see sandstorms on the radar, you mark bases beforehand. Just stay ahead of the storm and see who's getting hit. They happen regularly, they just only hit a small portion. Raiding is so common you fight other raiders half the time.

>>531644931
If you spend some time getting it right it's 5x5 and 6 high I think

>>531640382
your grace period of not paying your taxes is like 30 days, apparently. At that point your shield gets shut off (if its still on) and Saurdukar can attack it.

>>531645604
and your subfief goes as unclaimed. Which is the important bit.

>>531644628
There is spaghetti networking in the sense that going from one row to another switches to a different server briefly and you can suddenly fly into a bunch of ornis that weren't there a moment ago. But that's not the problem when you approach a large spice field.

If they just fix the fact that you can see the spice disappearing from a lot further away than the characters and vehicles rendering that would at least fix it somewhat so you can't just fire blind at that spot and get easy kills on people who have literally no way to defend themselves from this.

added bonus that the satanic motherfuckers at funcom deliberately put quicksand at the 'server border' to guarantee you get extra raped for any difficulties

Since funcom itself doesn't seem to have an actual networking team for dune, say hello to the guys protecting your from chinese hackers:

Director of Tech Delivery and DevOps – Rui Chen
Senior Manager IV of Infrastructure Product & Solution – Yongzhou (Caven) Song
Senior Technical Program Manager II – Yang (Bill) Fan

dont worry, they will all be fired soon anyway. No need to keep them on the payroll, they got the game out the door. Funcom got its bag, and now they can spin their wheels for the next year dribbling out their tiny pool of DLC content before EOS hits after the fourth installment hits next spring.

Here's the game's art director. Dickless eunuch energy. Explains the lack of tits and ass in the game.

nitrado does their networking, the servers are hosted by nitrado, they are partners in equity basically, the backend for all their games, the server host arm of their business. cohh shelled out for an entire cluster of private servers so his DD could be peaceful.

Any of you completionist niggas grind to 200 yet legit? What's the best way of doing it? Already have almost all journey's done except for some bugged DD ones or the caryall

>>531680972
gathering fiber in a circle in south hagga basin where you started out, it's 2xp per and respawns instantly. DD is 100 per sector weekly x 81 sectors and that's it. you get bigger xp for mobs/other resources but you can't gather them in perpetuity as long as you want a constant flow of 2xp.

>>531681152
also if you pvp, endless healkits, and filters

>>531680958
Not quite how it works. Nitrado handles the hardware, but the interfacing and software development has to be done on funcom's side. Nitrado just runs/hosts what they're being given.

It's like saying 4chan is responsible for the content of your post. No, 4chan didn't write your post, you gave it to 4chan and 4chan hosted it as a service to you. That's what Nitrado does for funcom. So all the code relating to the game handling server transitions, player inventories, authentication, etc. is something written up by someone working for funcom. Nitrado, at most, is doing some back and forth with the "networking team" (wherever they are, cause I can't find them) to determine the best hardware configuration for the game's needs.

Pretty big L on funcom's part anyway. Eve Online never farmed their server hosting out to a 3rd party. They ran it all internally and that's not only been tremendously successful, they've been one of the most innovative teams in the world when it comes to videogame networking.

>>531681152
Oh cool, didn't think about the fiber. There's that one rock island that has bushes constantly respawning, right? Is it the same as the very island you spawn in after the tutorial?

Should be able to rig a AHK script if there's a consistent start point, like the default spawn beacon for the entire hagga basin map

>>531691124
> i don't think they have this alleged telemetry
on the contrary, this game is basically a glorified shareholder number-go-up simulator graph where every asinine portion of it is measured for maximum proportion of pointless metrics that they can show to their Tencent ownership for more funding
the game even asks for (and ignores) your consent in using you as a data piglet for this very task

the problem then arises in that everything is flooded in junk data and it becomes impossible to prove the context of anything in the sea of their own self-inflicted UE5 blueprint spam.
why else would an "mmo" have servers limited to 60(50?) people per segment of it if it weren't being strangled to death by constant data garbage that required daily maintenance restarts to 'empty the bucket'?
oops!

Pretty weird, my server is on the low-end of activity but I keep a constant 10-12 things on sale and whenever I check in I always get the endorphin boost of a couple of good sales.

>even came to terms with losing my whole base
>lol 30 slots 1500v storage, can't hold onto anything get fucked
well fine, i'll just delete my character and not come back later then if the devs insist.

>>531715090
Store buggy, pocket scout/bike, leave assault at city garage, keep your spice melange and harder to find mats with a solido replica. You just need a buggy to get going in a day of your return

>>531715452
already tore everything down before i thought of using the assault storage but i did at least save the assault itself thanks to your tip. deleting my base caused me physical pain though so i don't know if ill be back either way. i like building in survival crafters too much to have it held over my head like that.

RIP Pyramid o7

>>531716771
Consider doing the repair glitch on anything needed since it will probably get patch soon. I didn't think about the extra 1000v storage your assault provide if you take a break. Make sure to store mats for your ore/chemical/spice refinery if they are medium or larger. An advance deathstill too with a medium cistern

>>531715090
you should have kept a good water setup with a buggy in the bank. Three adv death stills, two large cisterns, a medium ore refinery, and a buggy come out to 20 slots/1250v. Water is the bottleneck. T6 stuff really does not matter unless you do the DD; future content (such as it is) will be balanced around T5

>>531715090
A regular subfief requires no taxes, and supposedly the only thing damaging your base is sandstorms.

What if you built into the giant ravine? There are no sandstorms there. You could stuff a 5x5 hoboshack full of boxes and theoretically it will never degrade.

>>531710264
>add around 20k because of the Dunc normie factor
not gonna happen precisely because the Dunc normies will run out in short order/have already run out of Dunc. They will then leave, The only people that will be left are hardcore Dune RP/ERPs, probably on private servers. At least with the game as is now.

>>531710264
>Conan bottomed around 12k-15k players,
NOT comparable
conan had community-run servers and a relatively easy mod platform
dune has neither, it is purely funcom-moderated poopslop

>and theoretically it will never degrade.

1. zero mod tools
2. zero immersive tools (less than half the furniture has functionality)
3. way too fast of a night/day cycle for proper immersive environment (can't fix, no mods)
4. no fucking mod tools ever

going full-retard VISION with this game was the worst thing they could have possibly done to it

>even pyramid-anon is leaving
owari da.....

I still enjoy the game at my own pace here slowly working DD stuff solo.
>>531720406
>future content (such as it is) will be balanced around T5
God I hope not. I hope they make them T6 in power so its challenging/hard when your T5 otherwise T6 will truly be pointless outside pvp bragging

>>531723762
>God I hope not. I hope they make them T6 in power so its challenging/hard when your T5 otherwise T6 will truly be pointless outside pvp bragging
Well, be disappointed. because T6 was designed to be pointless outside the DD, and the DD is pointless without T6. All the story content (which is what the DLC will be about) will be new Hagga like areas. T6 is newb trap.

>>531724326
>>531723762
Honestly T6 enemies are bullet spongey to the point of annoyance even when you're kitted out in t6 uniques I dunno how they can manage to make T7 or any progression less of a farce. Like, it already takes ~20 regis rapier fast attacks to take out a unshielded shooter deserter in the PVP DD. Back in the shield wall a T5 shooter will die in less than 4 fast attacks.
What's a T7 enemy gonna take with a T7 weapon, 120 attacks?

>>531724326
What are the enemies in the A4 Lab, the one with multiple waves. I found those pretty good/challenging but they seem T6 to me

>>531724978
I doubt they'll make T7 since skills wouldn't follow. T5 to T6 is more than double in stats already. Best they could do is mix T5 with T6 for future contents

>>531722075
>In the Basin?
Not in the Basin. In the Basin, an enclosed base with its contents, including a sheltered console, will last until the land goes unclaimed, which is either done intentionally by the owner of the console or after 30 days of unpaid taxes. If the land is unclaimed, the base contents are up for grabs and it takes more damage from sandstorms. Simply being unshielded but still claimed will greatly slow sandstorm damage, especially with things enclosed by walls/ceilings, while things outside (like thopters and some other exposed placeables like water cisterns) will die rapidly. Placeables designed to be outdoors (wind traps/mills) last a great deal long in an unpowered base as well.
I have an unpowered console sitting out in the open on the east shield wall completely exposed to the elements thats is still there a week after I destroyed the base around it. Im co-owner (the owner quit and gave me the base), I stripped down, but as co-owner I cant move/destroy the console. Taxes were due last Saturday, so it (and the land it claims) may persist for another three weeks, Ill check again when I login in two weeks.

>>531725090
There in the DD, os harder than Hagga or those in row A, but the DD Testing stations beyond row A are purely T6 oriented material. Are the blueprints nice? Sure, but completely overkill for Hagga. The way the DD testing stations are designed, with their loot timers and such, they are meant to be fought over and controlled by PVP groups. Again, the DD is for T6, and T6 is designed for large PVP guilds to process large amounts of T6 mats to enable and sustain PVP in the DD.

What happens with these green items from quest rewards when you for example get eaten by a worm? Can you just never get them again?

>>531726706
I wrote A4 but I meant D1 one (which is still PVE) but for some reasons I have yet to find 1 blueprints there

>>531730253
D1 drops no blueprints, not really worth it unless you're specifically farming deserters or want a no-PVP-risk way of getting spice-laced plastanium (and even then, it only gives a paltry amonut)

>>531705827
mfw I just sold another 3 stacks at 150 per unit

who is buying this shit, just christ. It takes like 2 minutes to farm a stack in a buggy and someone is paying 75.000 for this

>>531731952
I see. How is the PVP stations, is it perma guarded by guilds or some shit when everyone still have separate loot or you can still find coop buddies in there. I'll make a trip there tonight and make sure my scout is pocketed

>>531732558
You don't want to go to pvp stations, they are probably the biggest hotbed for groups to look for pvp that isn't spamming rockets in a horni.

Crashed ships are a lot more quiet, but there you have the problem of logout goblins that just loot the chest and log off again over and over.

>>531732558
How heavy the fighting depends on your server, but even on quiet ones it tends to be a free for all; people shoot first and ask questions later. This week you've got G3 with executor heavy amor pieces, and I5 with the regis tripleshot. The latter lab in particular is a fuckton of PVP, which is great if that's what you're looking for.

Best to team up with someone before you head in there. I mean, I have ended up teaming up with people on the spot in the gauntlet rooms then splitting the loot after, but you can't really count on that. Most likely you'll run into enemy squads, and they won't be alone.

Bring a respawn beacon and place it somewhere a bit hidden on the rock island where the lab's located if you're gonna be serious about fighting people and getting to the chest. Otherwise, better to try during the off hours.

>>531732717
Ive check I1 wreck all week and only got 1 blueprint. Those damn gooblinos I tell you

>>531732441
I usually buy a stack plastone while in the city before heading to DD since you need to repair storm damage

>>531733445
Why not just break 4-5 rocks of basalt in the DD itself and then refine it? I know money is relatively worthless but wasting 75k for such a basic resource just seems insane to me.

>>531733753
Just time. I mean, I don't do it too often, and my DD FOB isn't that big besides, but when blueprint drops from PVP wrecks or labs sell like >>531561890 you don't feel so bad spending some thousands or tens of thousands for supplies and upkeep

Haven't played for a couple weeks did they fix DD yet?

>>531729859
Yep. Gone forever.

>>531741475
lol
lmao even

>>531741475
They made the bottom half of DD PVE only. You can gather some T6 mats but for blueprints its only for unique T5 (T5.5) which is good on its own. There's less players overall depending on your server to going pass the PVP line -might- be a bit safer now. Read -might-

>>531742631
It's not safer exactly because they made half the desert PvE. That means all the gankers are now crammed into the top half rather than spread across the whole desert. It's now much easier to patrol and club baby seals.

>>531742948
I guess that's true. Its why I don't hang much around E-F and then to go straight to H-I. Never had a bad mining experience but cant say the same for medium/large spice bloom. I even often see solo storage assault pass the pvp line as they go mining

>can't exit deep desert again
These devs are beyond saving.

So what are dumb easy mats I can bring to the AH like plastone to make a quick legit bucks on those duppers. How does 100 low lub barrel sells for NPCs

I just don't understand what Funcom was getting at with the DD. There is no point for PvE players to go there and the PvP is too jank to be enjoyable long term.

Sure PvE players can get T6 materials and spice but all they can do with that is create T6 armor and weapons which are only useful for PvP or PvE in the deep part which fucking sucks. And they don't want PvP because they're bitching about getting mad like you wouldn't believe.

And PvP has no longevity at all. Everyone's running shiggy wire and knee strike. It's the same shit every time.

>>531745719
It's highly server dependent so it's impossible to say.

I have multiple stacks of plastone that sell within hours and I have a 500 stack of duraluminum and it hasn't sold in 2 weeks (it's the cheapest duraluminum on the AH).

>>531745719
industrial pumps can only be gotten in one area and are necessary for horni wings so should always be in demand

>>531700921
No one ever talks about it since it seems to be more the realm of marketing, but the real reason a lot of people play games is to feel like they're participating in a greater group activity, even if they play them solo or they're single player games.

They want to be "in" with what's popular subconsciously.
Marketing pieces like this essentially are displaying to people that they're not in an empty restaurant when they buy this game.

>>531747342
Right. Imma go grab that with diamond dust and that other orni mat at the same spot. 10k~ a piece, wdythink?

>>531748885
I think I need to put more corpses in the smoothie maker

>>531749135
Lol. Can you AH corpses? Might add that and a stack of 500 or two of cobalt at 400-500 a piece

>>531749363
You can only carry one corpse on you in any city anyway, really no point.

>>531749363
You can in fact sell corpses on the AH. They're in the 'raw resources' section. On my server they used to be like a few hundred solari and sometimes I'd buy some if my cargo was empty and going back to base.

Nobody puts them up anymore though. My auction house is kinda dead now.

>>531748885
check your AH

Pumps are 3k on my server. Looting all the chests gets me usually like 10 to 20 pumps for a few minutes of work.

>>531750539
Sounds like good money for low commitment. Ill go farm and put those in my AH tonight and bite the bullet on a 100k mk6 cutteray as farming investment for DD since im far from making the advance survival fabricator.

Other questions;
Is T6 gear for repairing cost plastinum AND melange spice?
Does wings only affect gliding speed and turning rate? In the same vein I suppose engine is only for non gliding speed. I got some unique mk6 hummingbird wings for assault and expect 172 km/h for those

>>531751893
Plastanium yes, spice I don't think so. Regardless the cost is negligible unless you die all the time.

Wings is supposed to be gliding speed and engines for powered speed, but there's something fucky with the albatros wings where the description doesn't match what it actually does (it increases powered speed, not gliding speed) so I wouldn't just trust the hummingbird wings description either.

>>531755814
Thanks for the answer and have some safe DD brother

>>531722201
Yeah I was gonna say, there is nobody roleplaying in this game because there is nothing built for roleplaying in it. Nothing about your typical gameplay loop in the game feels immersive, the game mechanics themselves just do not fit the setting.

Building your own fief the size of a palace, mining rocks, killing tens of thousands of respawning NPC's spread around the map, worm timers, pocket thopters, etc. etc. the game has superficial appearances of immersion but the actual mechanics and gameplay have little to no actual depth or immersion to them. You never play the game like a fremen or offwolder would live on arrakis. Everything immersive is thrown away for the sake of keeping the game mechanics understandable to 30 IQ retards. It's good to make your game accessible sure, but they took it too far. I don't want to play fisher price's dune.

Lots of RP, PvP and PvE on Mortal Online 2. It's what Joel was aiming for with the DD, but he was either too pussy or investors told him off, or both.
We're friendly and social here in Myrland, and we even have our own worms now!

>>531761937
All of this can be fixed of they add a new zone with hard limitation. Hagga is suppose to be the main starter zone in the long run but I agree that they went a bit overboard on some stuff. Like how a T5 literjon kill all the stillsuit category for no reasons.

To give anyone new to this game an idea of how incompetent this studio is. During beta people were requesting an extract/deposit all button for water and blood, and it never got implemented, it's as if all beta feedback went into a black hole in fact.

We're now over in month 2 from launch, and they still have not added an extract/deposit all button for blood and water and it is by far one of the most often requested QoL features and would take literal minutes to cobble together.

If this company can't patch something that simple to the game inside of 3 months, they can't fix anything else either.

In fact their patches and changes so far look like they could've been done by 1-2 guys. I don't know what the other 500 fucktards at the company are doing.

Do the ecology labs get harder the further you go in DD

>>531763804
Pass the A row they are T6 as some other anon said. You can see for yourself at the A4 PvE one (bring a lot of bandages, source; dude trust me)

>>531763275
Either they are preparing a big patch to dump all that simultaneously or they are truly incompetent. The first DLC is gonna make or break this game's longevity on the long term

>>531765728

>>531766798
The real end game fun of this game is completely based on being in a guild,

Still enjoy the game even if solo myself

>>531769880
This is my experience too. It's fucking disgraceful to not foresee an issue this big in the first place, and it's even worse that they still haven't patched it so you respawn outside a wreck/lab if you log out inside of it.

Truly Funcom incompetence knows no bounds.

>>531762609
>full loot PvP
No thanks.

>>531776547
If you happen to be on a server full of dickbags, the deep desert can also become full loot PvP.

>>531776756
And yet, that's only half of the DD, and only for a week at a time. We had the full loot decree once, the DD became a deserted wasteland, and it hasn't happened again since.

>>531777103
I haven't visited DD during full loot but if it's deserted it seems to me like the perfect opportunity to just go naked with a static compactor or cutter and go farm

>>531777103

Treasure/crashed ship farming in PvP areas has been infinitely peaceful. Boost away from rocket spergs, get random mk6 schematics from the weekly pool, tons of materials. Everyone's busy fighting over the guaranteed drop POIs.

I've noticed repeat quests from certain Landsraad houses (ie. Novebruns + 400 spice iron dust). Were there any autists who've kept data from the last 4 weeks to know how often the same combos rotate?

>>531796091

>>531800783
if you get stuck and don't shigawire immediately you deserve to die

Pro melee players, how do you deal with the DD Labs. Every match up felt like a bitch and led to me mostly running in circles trying to peel off one enemy at a time. I didn't have the best skills on, it was the generator for infinite energy, grav nade and the mentat wall, however my sword was a good one (110 damage) and my melee skills are all maxed for damage/stamina.

Against packs of melee I had to either perfectly time an AOE parry or peel, it was pretty slow and tedious but worked. Against basic ranged it was fine, I could rush one and spam light attacks until they died, took a while but not impossible. But then heavies were an absolute bitch. They keep spamming their suspension belt which even if it didn't hit, forced me to back off by which time the other fat heavy nearby was blasting me.

I ended up mostly using range and plinking away forever which was pretty unsatisfying and slow.

>>531802052
The specific rubberbanding I'm talking about has you stuck on the 'climb on' animation frame and unable to shigawire or do any skill for that matter.
Just holding space with the suspensor and hoping for the best, gets you out maybe 20% of the time and you have to keep trying even though it attracts the worm

>>531802196
I solo DD lab gauntlet rooms pretty often. Either I run away and let AI pathing separate the melee clump abit, allowing for a parry, slow attack, slow attack (which they dodge but still staggers them since rapier range), slow attack kill for one of them. Or I whittle them down with the drillshot. Also, throwing a grenade will make some of them dive, allowing you to take one out.

Also, you can just missile launcher them even thru shields, though this is costly in duraluminium.

After a while you get used to the DD lab gauntlet room 'templates' and know where to shigawire where you can break LoS from the heavies and riflemen so you can whittle down the melee rushers

Before I mentioned the gunships that were peppering the ground with shotgun area anti-personnel weaponry in Paul's assault on the Sardaurkar, and I was called a nigger who didn't know anything because that happened when Paul attacked the sandcrawler. Today I watched the movie again, and both are true. I was unjustly called a nigger, when those gunships appeared in both scenes, while the Fremen forces are killing every Sardaurkar troop those gunships come in, then Gurney kills Rabban.

>>531802518
So it really is just running in circles killing one a a time, bit shitty desu I wish instead they had less HP but dealt more damage and there was more of them in more waves.

>>531802241

>>531796768
Solitary/Tabr, however these AH hubs are linked, is absolutely fucked as of earlier today. Everything higher end is roughly 3-4x in value as I'm guessing the Solari dupers seem to be buying up all the endgame materials. All the BiS blueprints have skyrocketed from ~1.5mil at most usually to 5-10milly

>>531802196
>however my sword was a good one (110 damage)
Do anything you can to get a Halleck's Pick(138) off the hub or Landsraad, shit's a giant quality of life jump even if rapiers don't have the normal sword's AoE parry. Even with my shitty perks, I two slowblade DD melees and four to five shot the fat fucks iirc. You can usually slowblade a heavy, dash back for the suspensor blast, and then get another before they start tard flail swinging their gun around which you also have to dodge. For skills, Shigawire and Crippling Strike are two popular PvP skills that also serve as good hard stuns in PvE that can lead to almost guaranteed slowblades unless melee enemies dodge recover very rarely or they're blocking when CS hits. The max level sentry skill also seems strong in PvE against unshielded enemies

Do whatever you can, as lame as you can, to break up and whittle down 3 or more packs of melee enemies, and then you can gank individual ranged enemies as they come around corners. If it's up for you as well since I'm not certain if all servers share Landsraad rewards, the top left house, Novebruns, is offering a Regis Burst Drillshot , great for shieldFAGs, for about seven Omni Static Compactors this week. You should also upgrade your power pack and shield if you haven't already

>>531802241
>The specific rubberbanding I'm talking about has you stuck on the 'climb on' animation frame
This shit is a nightmare trying to reach the higher detached part of crashed ships. I skip it now altogether if I can't stand on my ornithopter to reach it without ever actually coming into contact with it

>>531803143
Yeah and those showed flicker-fire thopter shields. There's no logical reason why all thopter shouldn't have shields since they can get away from sandworms

I'm trying a flamethrower+gasmaxxing build and it's fucking funny how easily this thing solo-melts DD lab rooms. Basically just dancing around applying flame+poison on huge blobs of enemies while mashing them with suspensor grenades/belt blasts whenever they get too close, which just stuns them so you can cook them even more

Downside is you're a complete free lunch to other players with this setup unless you start cheesing them with a drillshot, flamethrower hit detection just seems completely broken in PVP (latency probably)

tl;dr the classic helldivers 2 flamethrower+gas grenade combo works wonders in DUNC

>>531804812
this anon knows what's up for melee, but I'd take knee for 3rd skill. kite until you can get 3 Melee on you, stun the lead melee after one of them suspension blasts, kill em slowly. any time you run away and get distance from melee focus the unshielded gunners, those guys will kill you if you get downed, meanwhile you can survive from 4 melee boys no problem and get up. stun/double slow stab heavies when you get a chance, don't go for 2 slows. A buddy of mine runs drillshots to deal with melee then cleans up. and always bring a full stack or 2 of bandages. Grab the power gauntlets and use those, or splurge and get the circuit gauntlets from landsraad this week, that plus the reduced power usage capstone in planet tree gives an insane amount of extra power to not lose your shield.

What do you guys do when you solo the lab for the upteenth time and there's no chest? Go home and call it a day?

>>531816013
camp the chest room, may end in death by zerg

>>531816013
solo? depends on how long you have, sometimes I wait, see of I can catch a guy farming it to grab his BPs and the chest, if I'm in a group or actively playing I head to the next one/crashed ship/spice.

now that I've had a fairly good fill of on-foot pvp and have my t6.5 unique bis gear i'm actually really enjoying autistically surveying and getting every POI in DD to max exp gain on the slow road to 200
shigawiring and suspendering around the mountain ranges on A/B row captures a bit of that earlygame feel.

what your missing is that the DD is for T6. Stay in Hagga, where the real game is (and is dead). If you want to go to the DD, the only reason is to engage in PVP. Or better yet, spend your time wisely and play a better game.

I'm honestly surprised we got as "much" as we did out of them for these 5 weeks...

>>531854365
>some Norwegian holiday
Literally just summer holiday. Basically the whole country goes on vacation and everything is left with a sketeton crew if it's even kept open.
>t. Norwegian

The longer the fjällapor are on holiday, the longer perma-repair remains unfixed, it's a win-win

it's not like going back to office will help them unfuck the fundamental design decisions of the endgame

yea my base was literally in the trench lol. it counts as watersealed even 'outdoors' there, but like the other anon said - the coriolis storms wipe it no matter what so you HAVE to log in to power and pay for everything. it was a really fun game but i can't deal with the login requirements because i just don't play ANY game that consistently, so i'm tapped out unless they offer an offline/locally hosted version of the game.

>>531882923
>the coriolis storms wipe it no matter what
I thought the coriolis storm only rearranges ore nodes in Hagga

Am I retarded for wanting to build a hoboshack at the titanium island and bring a buggy to mine as much as I can during off hours?

>>531904590
I dunno about perma repair, but the old repair bug still works. Put broken stuff in box, destroy box, pick up all the loot, log off for 30 seconds, fully repaired. Some anon tried to doompost about fixes coming out but the devs already fucked off and there's been zero patches.

I do know servers are crashing, was making a new char on Nova for PvP and it was going down every 20 mins.

>>531839945
I am never ever buying anything from this company ever again

Is the game economy okay? This is not even a meta weapon afaik, some lasgun/rocket launcher/rapier would probably go for 10M.

>>531909012
could be RMT

>>531909012
everyone who's played since launch is a multimillionaire in the hundreds, there's nothing to buy

>>531909012
Solari duping has been taking off the last week, even on my dead as fuck server I've run into several Chink dupers at it in Arrakeen

>>531909609
Why can't the chinaman simply not cheat in a game? It's just fascinating to me they keep doing it all the time, sometimes not even for RMT, just like cheating as a cultural norm. It's comically pathetic.

>>531867983
that sounds like ADHD, and like you're not actually playing any endgame across there. enshrouded, other than an autism build there's chest farming for the 1% drop legendary you're looking for that isn't trash, that everybody loots from a resource world save.

I should have bought that pseudo pulse sword on the auction house that I was oggling a few days ago.

Because of this solari dupe now suddenly prices have gone from hundreds thousands to tens of millions for T6 shit.

>>531910267
because fat lazy americans won't stop exchanging hundreds of dollars for a fistful of solari, just like they shell out thousands for difficult content pilots in MMOs

>>531893372
Were lasguns on the loot tables this week?

>>531909012
So what happened is people started duping solari and then buying up everything on the market because it was basically listed at worthless cheap prices in comparison to the money they had.

Then people started jacking up prices because holy cow you mean someone will actually pay 40 million solari for this gun?

Now everyone who hasn't been duping and doesn't have access to duped cash (e.g. from selling something at an insanely inflated price) is locked out of the market as the price of all goods skyrockets to infinity.

Welcome to hyperinflation, this is what it looks like. The game economy is completely fucked lmao. There's no reason to have or store anything now as duping has eliminated the artificial scarcity in the game. Everything is essentially free, if you're a duper, and might as well cost infinite money if you're not.

>>531911635
the whole fucking game needs a scoliosis storm at this point

>>531911635
Devs are going to need to restart the economy or make more money sink chokepoints from vendors for progression. Have no idea what they'll do, I've never seen shit like this end well.

>>531912480
There is no point in restarting the economy unless the dupe methodss are fixed

I don't understand how the infinite repair glitch works. I mean, I have done it and I understand the steps required to perform, but how the fuck does it make any sense that this sequence of events repairs your stuff?

>>531913418
it's relying on the client to tell the server the durability, when you log off there's no reference so it just assumes it's a full item.

>>531913024
The "best" option for them is re-writing the netcode of this game top to bottom with experienced people who know what they're doing. This is expensive, it will take months, maybe even a year (onboarding + actually working on stuff). Could MAYBE work if they did it right now today to make sure everything is ready for the console launch next year.

What they are going to do is the minimal effort approach - fixing whatever exploit happens weeks afterwards and never solving the fundamental issues in their netcode. The result here is the game will always have a fucked economy.

>>531913418
It makes even less sense when fixing that bug caused player inventories to go invisible or outright disappear. Like what the fuck?

My best guess is that there's some kind of desync between the client and the server, the state of the inventory gets reloaded from some kind of inventory snapshot except item durability isn't recorded only something like a UUID, so when you log back in, the server can't authenticate what the durability of the items were and defaults to the base item (full durability) when it reloads them into your inventory.

Then they tried to fix this by being more aggressive about server authentication and stopped the server just giving you items back, but then desyncs during server transitions meant 1 server wasn't able to hand over your inventory to the other server properly and the 2nd server when told by the client what's in the inventory is probably rejecting it because they're being more aggressive about the server authentication and the result is losing all your items.

It's maybe even a little more complicated than that with some kind of corruption in how they're writing player inventories into the database because some people were not just losing items but somehow getting them turned invisible/doubled.

Anyway it all points to incompetent retards writing the netcode for this game. Unfixable mess without a re-write that they won't do.

>>531917856
>The result here is the game will always have a fucked economy.
And fucked up server transitions and all the various server<->client bugs that are popping up. Possibly the issue with climbing and climbing on top of those crashed ships is related to their attempts at resolving the duping exploits.

its just so BORING

>>531924362
what good would flares be against dumbfire rockets

>>531916343
It has nothing to do with durability. You will understand when you think about why the repair glitch also "resets" swatches and skins.
>>531918794
Climbing glitch is directly due to Patch 1.1.10.0: Improved interaction with vehicles. It should now be easier to enter them from different angles.

>>531924490
smoke in your face i dont fucking know, just give players SOMETHING for actual fucking dogfighting instead of this gay ass nigga gameplay we have right now

>>531924561
i imagine it's some kind of metadeta tags, that tell it the durability and everything else, and that the server relies on the client for this information, so when the client doesn't respond, it just makes a fresh item, basically what i said, if it works some other way why not just say.

genuinely, just play something else until funcom fixes (LOL) any of this shit
it's not right to have to basis your existence around the presence of dupes and cheats in an environment that fails to administrate itself

The game is going to be so good that the devs have confidence they can take a well-earned vacation as a pre-emptive victory lap as the August update reshapes the surface of Arrakis and the PvE Green Paradise will be upon us, and Joel will disappear. Everyone will apologize, and the value of kronor will skyrocket.

The only real disadvantage to this is if the winners pick the decrees to increase ranged / melee weapon damage, but those can be overcome by skill or numbers. If they choose increased EXP, it's really not a big deal, and if they choose a retarded decree, then nobody gains an advantage. My server is heavily skewed towards Atreides, but 95% of them are 40+ year old PvE boomers who shit their pants in the PvP portion of DD. I see no reason to participate in the Landsraad. Losing repeatedly just makes it considerably easier to get the personal rewards I want from minor houses, and the Steam Family trick allows me to enjoy almost all of the winner's benefits, without actually having to deal with some very monotonous PvE grinds in Hagga Basin. While PvE boomers farm outrageous amounts of random shit so my alt can freeload, I can just fuck around in the DD collecting what's needed for endgame gear.

Oh damn, never thought of that. How many can you make? I guess this is how the Chinese dupers were having these alts suiciding in all the cities.
Thinking of making bank alt for the extra CHOAM and logoff storage before a brrak

I thought I was done with the T6 mat grind.

How do I repair base items that are damaged

>>531943019
I'm not sure I'd even bother. This time next week you might be selling those blueprints for 20 million each because they just keep duping all the money.

There's really not much point listing items on the auction house or gathering money in general now.

>>531910284
>ADHD
no, its whatever stikes my fancy until it does not, and playing multiple games means I always have fresh content that I have not explored. I do a bit in Enshrouded (clearing rock for the base currently), next session may be a mission or two in Starsector or X4, etc. But I also played Dune exclusively from early access to a couple weeks ago with 150+ hours in it. This week it will be Warframe exclusively because of a limited time event.

>>531955303
with the repair option on the construction tool assuming you have the materials

I got to the endgame a few days ago and, yeah, it's fucking nothing. What's another survival game I can get into that "feels" as slick as this and also has comfy towns and quests?
I tried Conan: Exiles and it's kinda barebones.

Tried it now. No, so long as you're logged into the 'family' alt and have library sharing enabled, you're free to start dune with a seperate slot of characters

On a related note, they seem to have fixed respawn beacon chaining with worm deaths so you can't make your way up the map without a vehicle anymore...

>>531971968
> fixed respawn beacon chaining with worm deaths so you can't make your way up the map without a vehicle anymore...
if you leave a scout thopter parked somewhere sheltered down in the noob islands on the same sietch as your alt, you can use the chinese vehicle stealing app to change the permissions to your new account and fly it to your main character's base

>>531973302
Not needed even. accounts linked by steam family are automatically added to friends so I just logged on my original char, parked a scout by griffin's, then set permissions to co-owner for everything on the alt

>>531973715
Ironically the endgame is massively improved if you duped melange and plastinium and FUCKING cobalt paste, at least as a solo. Feels more natural to be gated by unique BPs that you need to PVP to get rather than braindead farming and going up the small spice -> medium chemical -> medium ore refinery -> adv fabs -> medium spice -> large ore refinery -> large spice

It's funny because it's the pvpers who're killing the game.

>>531974063
I don't think worm riding is a good idea at all but they'll definitely add it simply because this game is some kind of movie tie in merchandising bullshit and nobody involved actually cares about making a good game

On the plus side funcom is probably paying half of what they're making on this game (or more) to whichever jew bloodsucker studios have the dune IP rights.

>>531975004
Its not possible to dupe, even the cash dupe got patched

>>531977786
>I don't think worm riding is a good idea at all
~my vision~ of it is that it's not a thing controllable by the player but more of a cinematic zone transition type thing since each worm has its own territory and route and you could basically use them like a city transit bus between between regions

but none of that matters or ever will because this is ornithopter:awakening and the toothpaste is already out of the bottle

>>531978604
too little too late

and given how this game's netcode is, I seriously doubt we've seen the last of the possible dupes. Not only are there more they haven't found, but they are going to introduce new duping methods on account of simply being incompetent.

>>531977764
pvpers aren't killing the game anymore than pvers are killing the game

the game is dead on arrival due to its design flaws, it has nothing to do with the playerbase, though I'm sure it would massage the massive inflated egos of the dev team to think the problem is their players and not their own incompetence.

>>531979017
cheaters are doing the most damage to the game now

pve players ruined the original deep desert and didn't even get what they wanted, now the devs will stop wasting time on them and will just focus on dealing with cheaters and bugs

deep desert will slowly revert back to the original concept and landsraad will change to favor pvp more, with no instant claims from turn ins (mostly due to duping, though there are a few exploits still in the wild) and more emphasis on holding control points

>>531982902
Lmao no

>>531982902
>cheaters are doing the most damage to the game now
And the vast majority of cheaters are? Yep, pvpers.

I've loved this game ever since it came out. I actually dig the combat like crazy.

By the time I got to the Deep, the guild I joined robbed me for what they could. I made equipment out of what they didn't get and sank one of their crawlers alone. They relied heavily on ornithopters, I just walked up to it and started lasering.

I'd joined an arena and had practiced basically every on foot tech because all the guilds all rely on tons of vehicles. Me and the boys kept practicing non-stop to get better and better until no one wanted to fight us on land, they all stuck to ornithopters and numbers.

But then Harkonnen died entirely. The one big guild's reputation from robbing from me sank so far that they couldn't get recruits and no one else was stepping up, and I was selling information to Atreides. Harkonnen could've paid me any time, hell, apologized, but they made more enemies for themselves.

But now, Flatrock seems fucked. There's now one mega alliance called Gay Guys Of Gonorrhea that simply shoots every solo they see immediately. What's worse, they attacked the arena, and now all my factionless arena bros don't even wanna hang out on the server because it was neutral ground. The kicker? They only attacked it because they wanted to make it so THEY were in control of the arena too when they already win everything all the time.

The arena they built was a quarter of the size and there weren't even shields placed to protect the audience. The tournament we were hosting was cancelled over this debacle and the one they hosted had a bunch of people who, put gently, sucked tremendous donkey ass. The one person of ours who joined it sweeped.

Anyway, long story short, anyone have a not-shit server? Flatrock sucks cock. I'm level 200 and have at least five of every unique melee that was in rotation. I can rip two people in half in a fight but these bitches travel in packs of six to fucking fourteen.

It just is not worth staying for this dogshit.

The rest of the stuff I need, I'll get myself eventually.

>>531985670
NTA, but honestly, the quests aren't so bad, it's mostly all the fucking running/flying back and forth that's a pain and that can be mitigated somewhat by being smart about what quests you do when.

>>531985670
I dream of it.

Okay, maybe an Ornithopter, too so I can run down Derek like he was a banana who wears pajamas.

>>531985975
in all seriousness tho it sounds like you're basically the personal Zantara of your own server if you're as skilled and slippery as you say
they probably have a really fun time hunting your ass down specifically because of the challenge involved
i don't know if you'll find that same satisfaction elsewhere given the history involved. your best bet is hitting up, allah forgive me, the discord itself to see if there's any pvp groups that aren't too high on the homosexual scale (good luck)

>>531986224
>>531985975
That or recruit some hard niggas here or elsewhere, round up the old arena bros, start a rebellion against the faglord zerg guild. Sounds like a great arc

The most precious substance in the Universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel.

Now that you say that, the first techs I started teaching arena folks were Knee Charge into the air and deploying Scout midair and suddenly boosting away. Rockets are all splash on the ground, so just don't be on the ground. Idaho's Charge is great, I have like 40 permits because I didn't ever wanna be without.

My second favorite was sandjumping, which is like sandwalking, but you jump with knee charge over wormsign and force it to reset, and you can just cross open sands like that and have a much smaller draw distance than vehicles. And also you sound way less pretentious when you explain it than fremen.

The third, getting out of your scout at 850 altitude AND pocketing it mid-air without letting it fall, then falling silently all the way down onto whoever's beneath with rocket launchers, or, to them, suddenly appearing on top of their vehicle with a handy dandy Black Lasgun.

People are not in a rush to open fire on their own allied vehicles.

The latter I've done for nearly three weeks now, but I'd always just openly ask 'Who are you?' so I know if it's one of the problem people or not. I have gotten at least two yelps on voice and often did not end in actual combat. But because only gankers are left, carriers are pretty easy to land on top of. They also can't really flip to shake you off with a crawler on board.

Just in case any of you out there want to be dedicated haters, too.

But in all seriousness, I play at peak hours then ultra late night (aka morning) but now even 4am to 7am just has no lifers with less life than me, making sure no one on server gets any spice. They're literally treating ganking like a job. They'll just watch pristine spice fields at a distance and wait for people to come to collect it and never gather it themselves. No lazy late night melange for me.

I do what I can but I am but one man. I'm no leader. I just wanted to invert some buttholes and laugh on open mic.

>>531988245
If only you could use a buggy oh wait its all sand get fucked

honestly why doesnt the sandbike just self-destruct the moment you complete your ornithopter, just to save you the trouble

>>531988382

>>531989468
So long as you're stationary or going up, it's mostly easy to do. Server latency can fuck you, so believe in yourself.

Should I grab a Regis Drillshot and just spec into it for ranged damage to take on DD labs? Sword was a bit of a bitch.

I just cannot fathom how someone can do this and find it fun, or rewarding, or even remotely entertaining.

>>531990606
>I just cannot fathom how someone can do this and find it fun, or rewarding, or even remotely entertaining.
The problem is that it is fun, when you're always winning. Its fun to shit on people, to stop them, to force them out or kill them. You only have to look at selfishness, greed, ect in real life to see its going to happen plenty in a video game where comparatively the 'guilt' factor is non-existent.

Thats why good games put in guard rails to stop sadist and psychopaths ruining it for others, which is what govt should do in real life but don't.

>>531990606
>>531990896
'I enjoy dominating others' is a prominent gameplay motivation / answer in the player survey lmao

>>531991714
Actually unhinged that Funcom promotes this sort of shit but its not the worst Ive seen, EvE online devs are next level

>>531991871
The market for it is big. Every survival pvp always gets a huge rush of people who want to murder everyone else until the game dies.

>>531991871
>EvE online devs are next level
I plan on reinstalling it after getting bored of dune completely, thanks for reminding.

>>531994025
>The market for it is big
Its actually tiny. No one gives a shit about seal clubbing games. Why do you think 95% of Conan/Dune players are PvE/solo/safe zone only players. Then just look at what games are popular today in PvP, they're forced match making games like CoD or dev controlled character driven like LoL.

I hope when the dlc comes out we are all more coherent on grouping together.

>>531982902
>pve players ruined the original deep desert
yeah man it's totally the PvE players that are in charge of Funcom decisions.

>trooper nades seem massive

Holy shit these things are almost as large as an entire lab room and last much longer.

I fucking hate my server with a passion. Everyone's triggerhappy. Big guilds permacamp the titanium outcroppings and the spice fields. The auction house doesnt have any of the schematics that I would need.Fucks sake I went and looked for those single titanium deposits out of sheer desperation and even there I ran into a dipshit who ambushed me with rocketspam as I was gathering the node.

Asia server is sparse but fun, if you're smart and decent at on-foot PVP you have a good chance of getting BPs from the PVP labs; got into some great scraps this week, easy enough to load on tit/strad/spice, and no real tryhards except this tranny having a schizo breakdown this morning bragging about having a 10k USD steam account and threatening to put bitcoin bounties on people who pissed xer off.

Sometimes when I hear the utter chaos of the other servers I wish it was more active, though.

>>531984179
Lernaeus has stabilized its DD. We have minimal griefing, with maybe 2 teams of Harkonnen PvPers who occasionally stop fighting over labs to poke at spice harvesters.
EST mornings are usually very comfy, and friendly. I also don't see the ridiculous auction house prices I'm seeing in this thread, I don't think we have a Chinese presence.
Atriedes dominates, but Harkonnen are getting the -25% craft bonus next cycle.

>>531984179
>>531998756
We do have several ground fighters who do nothing but camp schematics all day, and chase anyone off who comes in. You'd have a lot of opportunities for 1v1's and 1v3's in our labs.

Elite PvP

how do spice blooms in Basin work? Sometimes I hear one going off within a few minutes of another and yet sometimes there's nothing for hours.

I think it's a combination of RNG and a timer. If no bloom procs within this many hours, the bloom spawns, which is why they often explode at the same times even in DD.

>>532011489
They're just occasional small pops there for 500-600spice.
If you fly around during dead hours before reset, you can find a good amount pretty easily along just south of the Jabal Ifrit quicksand area midsection all the way west towards Sheol. I will say the worm seems a lot more sensitive and arbitrary in Hagga compared to DD. Even with softstep boots, I usually get 15-30sec of time unmolested before it spawns no matter how active I am

>>531995476
Wake up Tuesday at 5AM or whatever your time to claim and build around a Titanium/Strad double node in the PvE half. The map even updates on the usual sites in advance so you know where to try first. Take a couple claim expanders, about four with one vertical, to make things a lot easier. Set up a hallway base between the two nodes for easy driving, build your buggy with a mk6 cutterray, take the perks, and you'll walk out of the week with a very easy 1-2k plast with the only effort being supplying water and remembering to pop in every 45min
>schematics
Do the landsraad solo humiliation rituals when you aren't farming endless tits. Some shit can be really good like this week's Power Harness being a BiS chestpiece that you can always resell for tens of millions. At least on my server, it's not worth contesting PvP labs since winning in the chest room means an instant invasion of the chest camper's faggy friends flying in no matter the hour

>>532014694

This is exactly the shit I hate about this game. This is basically an exploit.

How hard is it to have no build zones around the few nodes in the PvE section

>>531971968
Is it at all against the TOS? I know Funcom is lazy with bans anyway but just to be aware in case they decide to actually do something.

>>532014694
>Even with softstep boots, I usually get 15-30sec of time unmolested before it spawns no matter how active I am
NTA, but is there like a limit to how many compactor shots you should take to be as safe as possible? I usually do 4-5, but my experience is limited to Hagga.

>>532017168
Vacation time in Norway, please understand

>>531982902
being on the one server western EU where this happens ot finding clips from the SEA servers is your own fault, trying to be offended on behalf of a redditor without even buying the game is worse.

Is there a way to abandon a vehicle? I'm not using my old sandbike anymore, but I don't need the mats I'd get for disassembling it, so I'd rather drop it somewhere some lucky newbie might find it.

>>532026020
i once disassembled mine, and left it in a box with lights around it available to everyone in the starting area. with a welding torch in there. or thumper it on dangersand

>>532026020
I don't think anyone needs a bike, and new players would be better served by going through the steps to build one.

Just throw the components in the recycler.

I think the spice on haga basin is broken on my sietch. No explosion for hours and no blooms or bubbles anywhere. Can I join another sietch and go farm there or can I not bring back any items?

In EVE if you were taking a really long break, it was prudent to kinda liquidate your assets and store your cash as tritanium, since trit was used for everything and always valuable. We thinkin the same thing here but with Melange? I'm just debating if its better to sell off my melange and keep solaris in the bank for long term "Coming back in a year or two" storage, or if its better to use every solari to buy all melange. What's seems like its got better inflation protection?

>>532026921
Nah. Melange right now is already fairly worthless. I wouldn't count on it keeping its value. You'll need enough melange in the sense that you'll want to rebuild your high tech base buildings, but other than that I wouldn't overinvest in it.

>>532026921
Considering the game already had multiple ways to dupe shit is there really anything that would be a safe bet to buy? Maybe spice will keep some worth or maybe it's going to be worthless once all the PvP fags have millions of it. Maybe plastanium is going to be worth something if the retarded devs keep the supply in the PvE part to a minimum and don't do anything about people just building over the nodes or maybe they will just plaster it all over once enough people start leaving the game. This is Funcom we're talking about and the creative director has a "vision" whatever the fuck that means.
I should have learned my lesson not to touch another Funcom game after Anarchy Online...

>>532024415

glad to know that pvp makes you mad though, i log in just to make people like you miserable, we're just born different and you're clearly not fit to exist in this world

>>532028254

I doubt Plastinium holds any value. If Funcom built this game properly where the higher tiers required the mats from the lower tier, maybe, but as it is the moment T7 comes out requiring "Dickfuckium", all plastinium is valueless

>>532028576
If they introduce T7 anytime soon, the playerbase (or what's left of it) will tank dramatically.

What happens if you don't pay taxes and you log out for 2 weeks

>>532029876
Your taxes become "overdue" and you owe the overdue taxes + the new taxes during the next cycle. If you wait another 2 weeks for the overdue taxes to become "double overdue", your base shields turn off until you catch up on taxes.

Do shields prevent long term decay or just discrete damage from storms and enemies?

>>532032348
there is no long term decay aside from storms. Storms cause damage to objects and structures that are not "sheltered". without shields, each storm that passes damages the non sheltered walls more and more (usually the outer ones). those will break. More storms come by, now with access to the inner stuff and damaging that. Eventually the subfief will be destroyed which will allow people to come in and loot or take over

>>531680878
I think you can blame 1.The sun, 2. the deadly worms, and 3. Harks/Atreides for their massive destructive blood feud and 4. The Emperor for being a jelly gigacunt who should have just married irulan to Paul. For the amount of slavers and raiders we kill it's surprising we dont see more slaves, so maybe some should be wearing harem outfits.

Are people wearing stillsuits still visible on resource scanners as water? Feels like there should be some way to avoid them, but I haven't done any PVP so what do I know.

>>532035368
life scanner is what people use

>>532029809
>devs stealth hot"fix" carriers specifically because of cheaters
>legit pvpers can no longer pick up rando aircraft now

cheaters are definitely the ones hurting the game the most now because they are forcing devs to neuter fun game mechanics which results in fewer toys in the sandbox

pve morons already did massive damage to the game with their whining but at least the devs stopped listening to them, just like men should stop listening to women

>>532035454
Same difference, I'm just not that thrilled about the idea of it as a mechanic.

>>532029732

I'm back from sleeping.

What's crazy to me is they rage on mic, even when they're "winning". The other night, I had ten ornis just flying over my head while just blocking the gankers from spicing themselves. The entire time, they just try raging at me on mic and I'm not even replying, just laughing over them, which forces them to try and shout to get me to hear them while they waste rocket after rocket so they keep shouting louder and louder over my moronic chortling.

It doesn't seem like they're having fun because they just can't fight on land. They seem to froth because they have ten ornis in the air and it just doesn't work against someone who can just... float over rockets.

If they all got out and fought, I'd be cooked. But they genuinely are just fuming in their ornis instead.

>>532038089

I like to hit the rocketkids with "Yea you thought". One of those and they'll chase you all around missing left and right

>>532017168
It's not, and you don't even deserve the nodes in the 'PvE' section. They did that to appease whiners.
Imagine crying over 3 nodes when there's currently 5-6 entire islands covered with nodes spread across the length of the map. If I wanted to move my base from the congested middle, I could easily have a node-rich island all to myself since no one bothers traveling in the DD anymore.

>>532039031
my DD has entire guilds dedicated to ganking

>>532039270
same. They take over every PVP Resource island with a handful of bases and have people just sit there firing the ancient way at anyone who comes by. Or they'll hide and lasgun your thopter. They always push your thopter into the sand and thumper it as well.
They also stream on twitch and aimbot hack with no punishment

>>532038996
I'm a loudmouth and my cackling has absolutely gotten the Gaymers chasing me island after island. Since I run booster and don't do dogfighting, I'll just loop de loop around them and talk mad shit or just laugh like a teenage school girl at a nerd who just asked her out.

>>532039965
In every single game with full pvp I've seen, this has been the kind of behaviour I've seen from the "hardcore" pvp kids. Just totally antisocial, no regard for having a fun fight, no wish to gain anything from killing someone. Just pure "fuck you I hope you die in real life too" full on aggro killing you for the sake of making you hate the game and quit.

>>532040771

and you don't deserve to be babyclubbing seals with zero counterplay but here we are

>>532041007
The group on my server spent the first weeks of the game doing nothing but actively hunting and ganking people, then pushing their thopters out to sand and thumpering them. Or they'd wait for you to respawn, then thumper ir so you get eaten by the worm too.
Now they're some of the only regulars left in the DD so you constantly see them in chat bitching about how they cant "find fights" anywhere. Like, my guy, you have to learn how to fish. You toss the little ones back so there's still stuff to fish for later. EVE online players learned that long ago. You don't just thrash everything you see, you gotta let them grow and fatten up

>>532041007
not me, i just whisper "hail sithis" over the mic and preferably the edgiest outfit available, like the sandstorm mask in conan. or just the sardaurkar outfit here.

>>532041007
you can get away with it online because nobody can actually kill or maim you over it

trust me once these guys run their mouth a few times IRL and get clocked for it, even if they win the fights, they stop running their mouth so much. Basically just animals in the shape of humans.

>>532041473
they already tried running their mouth IRL a few times, but got their shit pushed in by their step-father. these are the bullied kids in school. their release is to grief in games like this instead of school shooting so i guess we should be a little thankful

>>532041667
constant flow of respawning circle of 2xp per plant spawning in big batches in south hagga basin vs regular farming mobs at 14-22 xp per but definitely not as fast as a constant flow of 2xp for no effort. DD scanning is 81 sectors 100 xp per and some are buggy and dangerous to scan and takes a whole evening and is outpaced by...2xp constantly as long as oyu want.

>>532041764
I don't want to be their free therapy session though, I just want to play my goddamn game in peace.

>>531988382
How do you git good at shit like knee charge into thopter spawn or midair pocket. I've known for a while you can do this shit, but it seems too inconsistent when I try. I am east coast on a west coast server, so maybe ping is fucking me.

>>532042012
you cant "get good" at it. the ping and lag you feel affects everyone, the game is incredibly inconsistent. what you're seeing is observation bias, as people dont upload pvp videos of them failing to get in over and over and over.

>>532041903
there's an in-game block function

just block them and you don't have to hear their retarded animal jibber jabber

>>532042012
i see people pocket thopters instantly and even at 31 ping the server waits about 3-5 seconds before i can pocket something, sometimes it's instant, but that's far and few between.

>>532042012
Lag is definitely an issue. I'm Norwegian and play with two friends, a Swede and someone from Oregon(on a Euro server), and the US person's experience is just constant rubberbanding and desync issues.

i get more spice per hour flying around in haga basin than in the DD. On top of not risking anything.

bravo Funcom

>>532042196
Instant thopter pocketing only works if you already have the vehicle backup tool equipped as you get into the thopter. Once you get out, it registeres as having already had it out and pointing at the thopter for a few seconds so lets you insta-scoop. If you take it out AFTER you get out, you gotta wait

>>532041328

Okay… heh. Okay heh. My name is Chani. Most of you know me as, um… well, most of you know me as Chani of the Sietch Tabr, I suppose. If you’re hearing this, you probably know me as Chani, but erm, ugh, a few still know me as Daughter-of-Liet. That was my name in the deep desert, before the winds changed.

And I told my sietch-sister—pardon, one moment, the spice is heavy today—I told my sietch-sister Harah that I would send this wind-chant just for her. So I’m doing it, here it is, HARAH I LOVE YOU ARGH HAAH ARGH HAAH SHAI-HULUD BLESS YOU!

And erm, let’s see, ugh, what was I saying… Oh! Just so you know, Harah, because I know you’re listening—because you’re such a self-important naib-lover—I don’t normally speak like this. I’m usually quiet, like the whisper of sand before a worm comes. But now I am like… like I’ve overdosed on spice essence! My mind is everywhere! My vision is splitting! My water is not calm!

Let me try my calm voice. Ahem. Yes. I am calm now. I am composed like a stillsuit seam. What is happening ARGH!

So anyway… I love Harah because she is… she is so fun to spar with and she always shares her water ration, and that’s very meaningful, okay?! We’ve known each other for like… TWO MOONS and already we’ve bound our waters and it is crazy! We are twin Fremen spirits, and her crysknife matches mine and IT IS SO CUTE, SO CUTE I LOVE HER!

I made a sand-sign for her. I carved it into the rock near the windtrap. It was so sweet. And the wind kept erasing it, over and over, and my hands bled and it was awful, but I did it for her.

She keeps giving me her spice allotment! I’m like THANK YOU, but also, I CAN’T REPAY YOU because I’ve never had a full satchel of spice in my life. I’m just a humble daughter of Arrakis, a desert mouse in the dunes.

There is a little trick to it. You always wanna aim under where you're going, basically give yourself a space of error to correct. The Full Suspensor Belt's the only way to get this consistent. If you jump at like 45, make sure to drift a little to the right so you bump right into the cockpit and mash E to get in and don't be shy to tap or pull back to slow down. Rushing is gonna make you miss and just get you shot.

If you're kneeing straight up, try to go a little above your orni then bump into the cockpit's side, too. You'll still need to drift a little to the right, and the last thing you wanna do is bump into the bottom of your own orni and then watch it slowly fall down (and get rocketed).

It's good to just take some time to practice in a PvE space.

As for pocketing midair, if you're stationary in the air, aim down. You're likely to spawn on top of your orni and you can snag it into your pocket by its tail.

If you're going up while getting out, you're likely to end up under it. You have more space to grab it and fall along side it, for a bit. But you can also absolutely stub your toe on it and it'll just go all the way down too.

Latency can also just fuck you so more important to practice a lot.

You can also just stand on top of your orni after deploying it underneath you, but this is slow and buggy as sometimes you just phase through your orni. It's a feature. Probably.

people eat bullets for running their mouth, that's real life for you. You run your mouth like an animal and another animal that equally doesn't give a shit about the consequences tries and maybe succeeds at killing you.

That's why you don't see nearly as much shit talking in person as you do online. Usually it's just a brawl, but sometimes it's a knife or a bullet and gg no re you wasted your life so you could spew an insult like a retard.

Most people survive their brawls and even a lot of knife stabs and bullets, but you don't often see them running their mouth the same way ever again after.

The only time Paul had peace was when he was balls deep in Chani. She was 15 years old. Kek.

>>532052112
>She was 15 years old
So was Paul, what's your point?

the fact that 4chan of all places is taking an anti-griefer anti-lulz stance shows how many OG anons have gender transitioned to slow reflex boomer dads

>>532052295
4chan has been around for 22 years anon

Buddhamad was balls deep in Buddhaisha when she was 9 years old
In fact he married her when she as 6 and only did thigh frottage till she was old enough to take him halfway down the shaft at 9 yo

It's in all the Zensunni hadiths

>>532052807
Paul was the same age as Chani, my dude.

dunno what to say man, most of 4chan were never edgelords, they're just what makes the sensationalist headlines, and 4chan's always gone after the retardos, like the people who kill cats or post fridgeboxes full of iced body parts or dump cp everywhere

laughing at some 'edgy' shit like schiavo vegetable jokes and telling the truth about niggers without getting offended is more 4chan's "edgelord" style

just feels like you've got completely confused ideas of what people here are actually like and created an idea of 4chan in your head that never existed

your reflexes don't appreciably degrade until you're over 65

fastest reflexes are at 18-20, then it's a mostly level/slow degradation until 65, then it actually starts getting bad.
20 year old you and 50 year old you will score within 10-30ms of each other.

Degrades worse over time if you are:
A woman
Non white
Low IQ

>>532057462
My reflexes were always shit, but they're not significantly more shit now than when I was young. I'm 51

Nu-4chan thinks /pol/ is the hottest shit to ever reek and never grasped that it was always meant to be a containment board.

>Now everyone is demanding rockets get removed from everything
>This would have unironically made the DD fun from day 1 but Dumbcom already said they wont do it
When devs destroy their own IPs, the most hilarious thing.

>>532058551
It is a containment board, its just it leaks sometimes

>>532058158
highly correlated with IQ btw, you can draw a rough inference e.g. 300ms reaction time means you're likely 95-105 IQ

>>532058551
sounds like libtard dribble to me, 4chan's never had containment boards. People just post for fun and you don't like what they say, like a typical libtard. Even /trash/ isn't really a containment board but more like secret /b/ at this point.

>>532058593
>This would have unironically made the DD fun from day 1
Holy shit yes. They made ground combat that's actually pretty engaging for a game of its type... and then immediately made it utterly irrelevant with the inclusion of rockets.

>>532059090
Its fucking wild they went for missile spam. Like how many games over the years have been blasted for some form of explosive spam which sucked and no one liked at all, takes me back to the old days of spamming nade launchers in CoD.

>>532058723
4chan was always politically independent, neither left nor right, just memes and shitposting. The mere fact that you say shit like "libtard" indicates you're nu-4chan.

>>532058723

4 to 5 shots and then taking off to float away from the spice mound about10-15sec after looting them is almost perfectly safe in Hagga outside of the worm glitching and instantly appearing/appearing without wormsign/flying at you like an airborne missile. After you grab the 400-500 at the center of small blooms, you can move on pretty confidently rather than waste more time sucking at the edges of the spice bloom for the last 100. In DD he usually takes about a minute to appear with my same usual gear

There's also a unique, the ?compact compactor?, that draws less worm aggro while also weighing less you can use. If he does appear, you may wanna wait floating nearby until you watch him move away from the spice mound since one of the recent patch notes talked about them lingering a bit

>Meta DD lab strat is to get to chest room and sit there afk for days
Wild.

>my steam family alt is hitting rank 3 just as the 'triedes are voting in the landsraad weapon vendor
thank you based anon for this tip. Having two characters using the same personal base and resources while getting all the benefits of the other faction is fun

Hell, I'll put all the repair perks on this alt so I can have a lot more skill points free on my main

>>532060959
very true except multiple lookouts are camping the entrance and alerting the defense team and as soon as you spawn a wave it's the alamo

>>532060894
>compact compactor
Yeah, that's the one I use, it causes NOTICEABLY less worm aggro.

>>532059090
>>532059229
do you think people don't use rockets in ground combat? you're going to get shat on by rocket spam no matter what

>>532060959
my group camps exit and waits for the afkers to bring the loot out to us, plus it usually nets us a thopter kill

>>532062876
>rocket spam
Except the ground rocket actually has to be reloaded, and you can see when he's bringing it up and doge behind something. With thopter rockets, you see nothing except hellfire from outside of draw distance and then you're dead.

Holy shit, I bought these from the landsraad for like, 50k each

>>532064175
money dupes inflated the price of everything

>>532063047
it's lock-on, you whip it straight at the corner and the rocket turns if it had green lock, or just dummy fire down a long lab stairwell with nowhere to go but to us or the people behind you

>>532065072
Which is pretty shitty, but better to have money than not

>>532065360
You still have to actually bring it out and raise it to fire it, and then reload between each shot. It's nothing like the rocket spam of thopters.

>>532062876
>do you think people don't use rockets in ground combat? you're going to get shat on by rocket spam no matter what
What part of 'remove all rockets' are we struggling with anon

I knew about Cope, but come on. At least one of the devs definitely knows.

>>532071345
They post here, its pretty fucking obvious. They get extra mad when you point out that Funcom is nothing but wasted potential; the studio and their stupidity and greed stops them being successful
>oooo but we've been around for 33 years!
Yeah, as a literal who company because you keep trying to force stupid shit like unbalanced FFA PvP into your games. It sucked it Conan and it sucked here you hacks you should all quit and give the guys making/running the PvE areas the keys to the company they clearly care and understand gaming more.

I swear the fucking announcer guy in Harko Village pronounces "Harkonnen" differently every time he says it, it's getting on my nerves.

>>532071780
I know one of the guys who was in it from the start, and he says Age of Conan was the beginning of the end for the company, the internal culture had become just absolutely horrible.

>>532072371
I am not surprised at fucking all. Any studio who would genuinely put in such unbalanced PvP and then do a survey asking people do you enjoy "dominating others" is clearly unhinged. They also seem like spiteful people who will go out of their way to deny players access to things when players call them stupid or unfair.

Which is all hilarious to be honest, because Funcom could be a proper good studio, there is clearly people with talent making good stuff. But then they let marketing lock content in third party websites, they force mechanics/features no one wants and then refuse to make real changes because it doesn't fit their vision.

>>532073090
Incidentally, around AoC was when the main guy who'd been behind the founding of the studio left too. Officially he said it was because he was disappointed in how AoC had turned out, but "everybody" knew it was because the culture in the company had just alienated him.

>>532074086
Also tracks with Funcom behavior.

>>532074491
Guy seems to have a good head on his shoulders, he writes columns in Norwegian newspapers regularly and always has something interesting to say. I can see why he wouldn't feel at home in the kind of place Funcom seems to have become.

>>532075382
Thats sad, imagine making a studio and getting bullied out because the people you hire are idiots

>atriedes winning landsraad with -25% crafting costs
>hop on to atriedes alt and do all my refining (3 titanium ore to a plastanium on a large refinery holy shit) and crafting turn-ins
>hop on to harkonnen main and turn in the landsraad stuff for t6 blueprints with +30% voting power enhancement
I'm getting everything for so cheap it's unreal. Feels great getting the benefits of the winning AND losing houses, all from the shared personal base and 1 man harkonnen and atriedes solo guilds lmao

>>532079209
Because this entire feature is so stupid, it would have been fine had the whole end game been designed around faction v faction and there was more interaction instead its just a weekly annoyance.

i said hello hagga basin and got told to shut the fuck up. it was then that i realized i did not want to farm more duraluminum or go to the deep desert.

>Dominating others
I don't think even Riot or Valve would say that and their games are literally about snowballing and then subjecting 5 humans to a humiliation ritual for 30 minutes.

i said Anal [Bindu Sprint] on global chat and everyone clapped

This might be the only game I've ever played where mines > grenades

Is fire or bleed better if you could apply one or the other?

>>532082785
you can burn through shields, but the dot isn't much, bleed is good if their shields are down but won't apply if it's up.

>>532089041
>bleed is good if their shields are down but won't apply if it's up.
Thats odd because the swordmaster counter skill which has bleed does apply through shields, must be a bug

>>532089468
I think that's normal, your swing does damage though shields, so life damage allows bleed to proc. a buddy of mine one a 1v1 with the bleed shotgun against a three finger, waited for the shields to go down when the guy shot, then 2 shots later took him out.

>>532089673
Im specced for drillshots/scatters just for the labs so ill pick up the bleed one then, fire seems to do fuck all. Had just hoped it would go through shields too but oh well.
