how are you gonna shake the no lifers who spend all their time on 4chan instead of playing the game if you just make a new thread as soon as the last one dies

you gotta let it sit dead for a week or two so they lose interest

>>532577729
NTA, but I just ignore them.

Have they fixed the lost skillpoint on respec bug yet?

game would have been better without pvp in the first place

rust niggers get the rope

>>532577984
imo the game should have had pure pve servers that just don't have the deep desert

>>532581271
yeah the DD on PvE were the only way to fuck with people is worms and thumpers

>ANOTHER 1.5 hour daily downtime at 8am UTC
will they finally catch him, the rakish cad, the unrepentant menace, the fiend, the legend, the PERFECT REPAIR EXPLOIT

>No one listing T6 ores
>List 500 titanium at 1500 each because who would buy that its stupid, its cheaper to buy the ingots at 6000 each
>They all sold
Thanks for the 750k I guess

>>532577984
Agreed, dungeons/raids would have been more popular and more interesting. 10-man raids with people you knew/randoms would have been great.

>>532589069
With the large refinery and Landsraad -25% crafting cost statute it's 3 ores 1 fiber to refine an ingot, so it's not out of the question to buy ore like that.

>9 posts in 3 hours
uh oh looks like its time to give it up

>>532590662
Well there is another 500 for 2000 each now lets see how silly it gets

>>532577916
don't think so. they keep rolling shit back after trying to fix duping exploits etc. maybe the jeet code is harder to fix than anticipated, maybe it was chink code

>>532590780
At least we have a general cough enshrouded cough

>>532590780
I mostly have just been building bases. I had to start a new character because I found good spots but already had 3. hopefully my brother starts playing soon so he can take over one of the characters or bases

>>532576325 (OP)
add planetologest(dot)app and https://dune(dot)gaming.tools/deep-desert to the OP quit being a nigger faggot.

>>532581271
It wouldn't have improved the game, they'd still be making all these compromises for PVP gameplay and focusing a lot of time and effort on that.

If you're going to make a PVE/PVP game, it needs to stay that way.
If it's going to be a PVP only game, then do that, a PVE only game, then do that. But splitting in two different directions to make 2 different games at the same time is just a bad idea in general.

>>532593002
>If it's going to be a PVP only game, then do that, a PVE only game, then do that. But splitting in two different directions to make 2 different games at the same time is just a bad idea in general.
It works fine. All that had to be done was faction v faction + gear sets so fights were fair.

has anyone worked out the exact timer range for dd large shipwreck and dungeon chests? seems to be 90 minutes with random + 0-15. does that line up with everyone else's observations?

>>532592653
You can post full links, stop being a faggot

The people at Funcom must truly be retarded. Why did no one bring up that the DD coordinate should be reversed? 1-9 should be how deep you are, not A-I

>>532594271
>Locking building sets and cosmetics to limited time events instead of just selling them
They're retarded, it is known

>spice bloom goes off close to me
>arrive within 10 seconds, literally
>already gone
is this some sort of new bug? ghost spice beds back?

>>532597619
that might be the old one that was previously harvested. new one doesn't always pop up right away, but can still be harvested when it's invisible. try compacting on it in the cleared area. tho that looks like a medium? so it still should be spice smoke everywhere

>>532597858
It was just a small one, I took what was left and came back 5 mins later and still nothing

>ninja loot yet another emperor's wings mk6 and leg it out
>guy camping there wakes up
>manages to land a missile on my thopter as it jets out
honestly, nice shot. our server hasn't even seen the ancient way yet.

friendly reminder to FIELD STRIP and PERFECT REPAIR your sky chariots in the next 15 minutes

it might be your last chance to do so forever

>wearing full set of syndicate armor
>without any swatches, this is purple
>change to appearance of other armors
>those armors become purple too
>but not on the customization menu
>customization menu also doesn't have antialiasing
?

>>532603624
I also noticed that purple invasion and I was not impressed

>>532570131
But they're still fucking not making it so you can't build on T6 ores. Like come the fuck on, this was identified as an issue by players in fucking BETA.

>>532602757
One last repair for my armor, weapons, scout, assault and buggy
God Bless

>>532604274
I can't relate, on my server no one builds over them ever, its very wholesome. But yeah the nodes themselves all need a little block on them so you can't build near them just like important roads or AI bases.

>>532593002
DAoC, back in the day, separated PvE and PvP just fine because it was designed from the ground up with that PvP as an endgame in mind.
Plus, you know, the whole no full PvP, three factions thing, and actually having shit to DO in the PvP zones.

>>532604427
I'd ask what server that is, but I can understand if you don't want to say because someone will inevitably find out and come to ruin everyone's day.

>>532604393
They took away full repair (again)?
I'll just stop playing, then.

>>532604598
Its Elara and im on Sietch Legg if I remember right. Its been a pretty chill crowd, active but clearly dying off slowly but probably the same as any server, there is even a sort of cease fire in the DD before 3pm (sort of, some people still KOS) and after midnight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CdgcZ8XR-M
i've seen at least a dozen bases here now, exactly where my base is. i guess the donut cliffs are popular.

>>532605462
>50k tax
Fuck that

>>532605462
Guild cities when?

>>532605919
Kinda pointless and lifeless when there's no thrall / NPC hireable system

>>532605919
>Can't create rooms which you can lease out to players
>Can't create shared spaces that anyone could use for crafting
All game devs lack imagination. I would have frothed at the chance to build something like a hostel for people in the DD at the start of the week where they had private rooms for storage and a shared space for crafting. Guilds are far too restrictive.

>>532606031
Yeah, to me it feels like the clear path of progression for a game that gives you enormous build options like Dune, communal crafting areas would go hard for building large Guild only vehicles or special types of armor/weapons that can only be built through communal construction. There is a surprising chunk of people I see even on my small server that want to do things like RP and have the spaces to do it in.

>>532606031
Add fucking code locks funcom you stupid useless fuck hack retard norrbaggar

damn, that nigga might be a AGPtroon but I gotta respect the dedication

>>532606157
>There is a surprising chunk of people I see even on my small server that want to do things like RP and have the spaces to do it in.
The thing I saw one youtuber do which looked fun was build large spice refineries in the DD, then offer melange for spice and take a cut. Guy made a fortune just because its more efficient for solo/small groups to use large refiners they dont have access to normally.

But you have to do all sorts of fuckery to get it to work, because you can't trade more than your volume so trading 100 melange for 50,000 spice doesn't work. You have to lock them in a room, make a chest public, have them put their stuff in, transport it to your private container and then put your stuff in, ect its a mess and leaves open room for people to be dodgy.

>>532606427
Gotta put in guild banking systems and similar resource sharing abilities that are much more straight forward that can be managed from some sort of menu or even a console you build in a guild specific structure. Feel like they could get a lot of miles out of the current content if they work on large scale social QoL stuff like more systems/benefits to guilds.

A lot of the game can be enjoyed solo, but the best fun I have had is with my IRL buddy who bought the game for me doing shit like farming resources together or exploring, it's a lot of fun and has tons of potential for organic player interactions and emergent player based gameplay mechanics like what you just described with the spice refineries. This is part of the 'class immersion' in my opinion for a game like Dune, the stuff that makes the world feel more alive than just seeing other player structures out in the world or seeing people in passing while traveling. They've clearly put a ton of work into writing an alt-universe version of Dune for the lore/world building that we are in, I do not want to see it squandered. Game is the most social mmo-lite I have seen in a long time and I'd like it to have legs.

>>532607250
We can only hope that is funcoms vision and it isnt just endless PvP shitshows with no rails at all

watch as every bug they've claimed to have fixed comes back with this patch

>>532607723
The last Funcom product I played was Age of Conan at launch in 2008, so I am unfamiliar with what they have been up to since then.

>>532577984
Deep desert should have been a battle royale. Load in the DD from the world menu like loading into a direction for hagga basin that lets everyone join in at a set time at the start in different edges.

You take in only your empty ornithopter and try loot around DD for T4-T5.5 gear pieces and weapons after building your own scrap gear, you can choose to build a smaller than basic sub-fief if you want to spend the time to craft a researched set and can find mats as the sand storms take out random sectors until a few are left with constant smaller sand storms repeatedly swipe through clear areas.
Last 3 circles are frenzied worms that don't track as well so they can be dodged until the last circle is small enough for the shai halud special which leads everyone to the final spice gulag where there can be only one.

Gulag respawns/second lives are won through spice visions like the acts but with other players or if you are bought back via spice melange at towers or a worm tooth which prior survivors get.
Final surviving party or solos also choose to get a currency for participating plus whatever they can carry, this currency they can spend at landsraad ships that are in orbit watching the events that rotate houses or items ranging from vanity to T6 or one-off blueprints or bulk materials in containers that drop down to their designated sietch point like a crashed ship that they have the key to, but others can crack into with enough elbow grease if abandoned.

Atreides/Harkonnen get bonus rewards for choosing to spend at their own vendors for DD currency specific things or rewarded more for warring with the opposing faction.

>>532608370
>Age of Conan at launch
Oof, that thing was a shitshow. It did get a lot better with patches, but then they fucked it up again completely redoing the combat.

>>532610285
I'm glad you're not in charge of game design. We got enough battle royale games. The fuck outta here with that shit.

Refreshing steam rn to hop on the server as fast as possible but probably won't be able to get the loot anyway

All you'd need to fix DD for both PvP and PvE is a radar system of some kind so PvE rats have counterplay against gankers.

>another 1.6GB download
Now that's some extreme inefficiency in your patching system. It's been a fucking day.

*wet fart*

>>532613364
>backend security improvements

>Restored emotes that were missing for some players in public servers.
So that was a lie.

>>532610285
God no. I am so fucking tired of battle royale games.
Sure, it'd be more than what we have now, but that's a fucking low bar to pass since what we have now is literally fucking nothing.

>>532613615
I tested it just now and it still works.

>emotes
didnt even know this was in the game lmao

>>532613615
still good

>>532610285
No. Make it Faction v Faction. Make it so when you arrive you're in your faction base, and you can purchase PvP gear so everyone has the same stuff.

The rewards are more money, T6 resources and unique mats just as they are now.

>>532613875
What we have now is a hodge-podge of wildly unbalanced bullshit even when you miraculously engage in roughly equal combat scenarios. Suspensor blast is too oppressive, shitton of abilities go completely unused. Absolute bullshit, to the point where a properly designed game scenario wouldn't help because actual combat mechanics would bring it down.

>>532613069

>>532613875
I have actually managed to avoid playing any battle royal games entirely

>>532614547
They can't be fired anon, the tax rebates for them being incompetent and disturbed are just too much savings to be written off and it gives more daycare work for the rest of the team to actually do anything at work while the contracted freelancers make more content in SEA.

Design a new testing station with 4+ new enemy types (make them actually dangerous) and new layouts that are longer than the others
Put one of these testing stations in each zone, including the radiation shitheol
Put 1-3 nodes in each (near the end post id bracelets so you can't speedfarm them, these don't respawn until the entire thing does) that can be titanium or stravidium
Put boxes that contain sprinkles of t6 components
Figure out a way of dripfeeding t6 schematics (do not put ANY spice in these)
Make them not reset until you've completed all of them, then waited some amount of time (an hour maybe)
Make them doable solo or in parties only, and fully instanced so some faggot can't sit in the chest room and click on people's heads with a swallowdart

Congrats, you now have a farmable endgame for PvErs to continue playing forever
This is how every reasonably successful pve game with loot handles end game
There's a reason why the STILL LIVING games have replayable content that isn't forcing you into pvp or literally 90 straight miles of holding W straining your eyes looking for turds on a rock

Also make a new unique sandbike tread that has massively reduced wormsign generation

If the dune universe has shit like suspensors, why can't they build a hoverbike and never worry about worms again

>>532615841
The suspensors attract them, and should attract them way harder and more exaggeratedly than we get in the easymodo gameplay. As per Kynes in the book, worms are normally territorial but a single holtzman field turning on in a 100 mile radius will have ALL of them beeline for the user, no pussy 'safe zone islands' by the rocks, they'll leap up and bodyslam that shit.

Hover bikes won't work, but 'thopters do (which I guess use holtzmann shields somewhat for lift/vtol assistance, or shields like in the movies)

>>532613956
Not everyone gets along with their own faction. Every player will always need a way to kill everyone else. Meeting a member of your own faction in a shipwreck/lab/concentrated island should not automatically mean that they get to safely loot. There are player rivalries and guild rivalries within the same faction.

I do think that members should be able to gain personal contribution from landsraad nodes that have already been taken by their own faction, so long as they are standing on the point.

I'm also fine with identifying information (faction, guild, names) getting revealed by hand scanners. I would like the personal light slot to allow IFF devices that will only allow characters to equip their actual faction's device.

I would welcome faction-oriented activities in the DD but friendly fire should always be enabled.

I would be okay if friendly fire from faction members did not permanently damage gear, or at all, whatever people prefer.

Repair glitch still works, just tested it.

>>532616089
That's wild. But then why would you even need thumpers if Holzman shit is so effective?

>>532616792
Because you don't want to sacrifice expensive Holzmann tech when you've got cheap tech in a thumper? Also maybe you don't want to attract EVERY worm in the fucking desert?

>>532615459
>literally 90 straight miles of holding W
this guy glides all the way out to F6 up side down. what an absolute fucking legend

What is the actual point of the unique thumper?

>>532616984
Stronger worm attraction, for when you have shit that generates more worm threat like a carrier hovering just above a crawler.

How often do cosmic chests reset in the Basin?

>>532616694
>Every player will always need a way to kill everyone else.
Start with yourself

>>532617168
45m.

>>532617168
45 mins

>>532617202
But you're so salty and a much easier kill

>>532616743
How does that work?

I made 18 million solari on the AH but can't sell shit anymore for the life of me. Feels like the dupers and RMTniggas got banned or are consciously laying low

>>532617743
200 hours and 0 PvP kills, get good.

>>532617923
Someone should really add this to the next OP.

>Put broken items in storage box
>Deconstruct box
>Pick up items
>Logout to main menu
>Wait 30 seconds and log back in

>>532616694
There are no rivalries. There is griefing and griefed and thats it. Dune doesn't even have PvP it has player killing its not the same.

>>532618071
>laundering 5 aluminum crates worth of random vehicle parts i've looted over the last 50 hours i never dealt with

>>532618001
You're the one bragging about having 0 kills in 200 hours.

>>532617265
>>532617260
Well thats not too bad, have to get 300 spiced iron for this weeks free pincushion chest

>>532618357
Because no one cares about your guild hugbox. I play PvP in games that require skill. Now shush, you lost.

>>532618330
You might want to keep some of that if you want to do landsraad.

>>532618109
Good thing you're not a dev. I hope you have zero authority or any way to affect change in the real world with that kind of thinking since you would only make it a shittier place.

>>532618429
You're the one bragging on an anonymous board. Put something in the name field rockstar.

>>532618613
Its funny how player killers get so salty when they lose lmao

>>532619171
that goes for both sides really

bears cry when they get ganked
gankers cry when the bears get away

>fly around in other sietches on my server
>everything's decaying
>spice blooms untouched
why would I go farm spice in the deep desert when I can get 600-700 spice in a few minutes, repeatedly and consistently?

>>532620173
because when they're all lord of the flies in one of the large deposits in the dd, you can clear a few mediums and get 3-5 spins on the big boy refiner and be spice rich for days and days

>>532618071
Thanks.

>>532618330
I guess that's how people just keep popping back up in new thopteers in the DD.

>>532621736
Thopter Mk 4 and even 5 isn't that hard to craft once you have a buggy.

>>532620173
There isn't any. Its way faster and way easier to sietch hop.

>>532621304
Not on my server. There are entire guilds who do nothing but go to spice blooms and hang outside of render distance, waiting for the spice to be touched and then carpetbombing the area.

Because for some fucking reason harvesting spice renders much further than thopters.

I prefer a slower quality thread like this than to keep reading that doomposting faggot. Glad someone made him clinch his asshole everytime he has to hit the post button now. If the post count slow down do what >>532577729 said and give the thread a week or two of rest. Maybe do a /v/ thread here and there, might get some new faggots interested in DA. I don't want to read 2 weeks of losers crying about broken things when we're a aware that devs are on vacation. Their track record and coding sucks but lets be realistic here for a moment and see where things are going midterm

>>532624330
There's no reasoning with people like that. They go into games with the attitude of "it's not enough that I win, everyone else must also lose". Complete fucking psychos.

>>532624330
Same on mine, only once was it peaceful and it was 1am, they must all be children who get told to go to sleep

How is sietch hopping supposed to work, whenever I switch I always end up at Griff outpost

>>532625493
Correct. Just pocket your thopter beforehand.

>>532625652
Ah, thought it was plonking you down where you were in your own world, not always down there.

>>532625829
I don't think you can change it. Luckily most spice is around sheol so it's not that far to fly.

So many stupid fucking passives and not a single one that gives you like 5 extra personal carrying capacity.

I don't want much, just enough so I can lug around 2 corpses without needing to dump my flask and a tool or two.

What if reaching vehicle storage limit is client-sided and you could load gorillion titanium/spice sand into a scout after changing some config/memory value?

i like how the novebruns swatch mixes with the choam swatch

>>532631138
considering their abysmal client/server infrastructure for this game, it's not unlikely that could work if you can bypass the anticheat and manipulate the memory entry

>>532631138
Go on....

Is it easier to farm spice in pve DD or hagga basin

>>532631850
It just doesn't matter because once you bypass the AC you get a shitload of dupes waiting to be exploited.

>>532632107
hagga basin if you sietch swap and farm in the morning

it'll get even easier as the player pop drops out. Most sietches now have less than 10 people in them at once. Often less than 5. Even three weeks ago when my sietch had 20+ in it every day I'd regularly be able to grab 2-3 spice blows in the couple hours I played.

>>532632107
PvE DD has virtuall no spice blooms, and the ones that area there are small.

Haga Basin in empty sietches has guaranteed 2-3 spice field around Sheol-Eastern shield wall

>>532632756
>Often less than 5.
and keep in mind some of those are going to be in the DD

>>532618071
And what about duping, is it really over ?

https://duneawakening.com/news/an-update-to-family-sharing-and-recent-efforts/
pls stop exploiting :(

>>532646691
I've never duped. I don't know but allegedly they fixed everything.

>>532632107
my server is so dead, I can go to a fresh spice blow in pvp DD at peak hours and never even see another player, let alone a hostile one.

I really, really hate that I can't have boosters and storage on the scout at the same time. The assault is so fucking slow even with boosters to get high.

>>532650486
Check the end of last thread some anon gave good assault tips that I'm too lazy to bother copy-paste here

Should we tell him?

Do you think Suspensor Blast is overtuned right now? If yes, how would you nerf it without making it completely useless?
Do you think that suspensor dash should be usable under effect of grav nades, or would that be too much of a hard counter to that playstyle?

>>532651828
They fixed the POI exploit in yesterday's patch

>>532632107
You are in the endgame at that point so it's not even fun unless you group up and start pvping at that point.

>>532654238
pvping is fun if the teams are even and they're actually willing to fight

so basically 1% of cases

>>532654751
My solution is to always be the side outnumbering and only go after peaceful farmers.

>>532632107
>pve DD
You'll fly endlessly for a rare small bloom for ~500. It's the worst option, and it'd be faster to farm other resources like DD buried treasure to sell for melange directly
>Hagga Basin
You'll jump around from small bloom to small bloom for 500 a pop with little effort or competition
>PvP DD at 3-6AM w/scout
You can boost out to an ignored medium bloom, swap to storage after landing, and then suck up about ~4000 spice sand per run. Each medium bloom has at least three hits of 4k, and the risk is generally low, especially on the map edge blooms. After reset each morning, you generally have an hour or two of safe farming before PvPbabs start waking up

>>532656176
Your last one is highly server dependent. Mine is a damn warzone almost all the time.

>>532657456
On mine the war is mostly contained to the titanium island.
I've actually spent hours farming a big bloom with a few chil people. Noone brought a harvester, and the big guilds were busy raiding each other and being salty in chat.

>>532660987
It's wild how different everyone's experience in the DD can be. Titanium is mostly clear for me, but spice is highly contested by groups and they shoot at solos on sight.

What reason is there to use the taxi service in DD

>>532661405
according to dune status, my server has a scant 60 something people on right now, middle of the day NA on a Friday. DD is dead here. I harvest spice and titanium without even worrying I'm going to run into other people.

The loot chests with blueprints are still looted 100% of the time though, thanks for that funcom, real nice game design you've got there. Only once out of who knows how many attempts have I actually been the one to loot one of them.

>>532661632
If you get ganked and they thumper your orni, you can still go back

How do I transfer spice from other sietches to my own

>>532662498
I don't think you can unless you carry it on your person. So you can do two spice blooms realistically and you need to go back to dump it off.

Well I suppose you could fill up an entire thopter and then fly to a base in DD and dump it off there.

Do any skills give you passive health regen

>>532666601
Only from badly wounded to not quite so badly wounded.

>>532667171
basically a get out of jail free card that makes you 5x harder to kill

Some giga cunt bought all the spice melange on the entire server at 2.8-3k and relisted it at 20k.

Thousands of melange.

>>532669530
lmao, who the fuck is gonna buy that

>>532661756
Sorry anon but Funcom couldn't account for people abusing stop-watch technology combined into a layered injection system of their own design involving closing the game where you stand and logging in using that blasted stopwatch tech.
Too hard to counter, need pale nerd to come back to the office to fix and generate solving.

>>532669530
You don't corner markets you don't have at least a large control of the supply over. So unless your server has 1 guild policing every spice blow in the deep desert, doing a move like that is completely brain dead and they just pissed away all their botted cash for nothing.

Even if they hold the deep desert with an iron grip, the spice production out of the 3 dozen hagga basin sietches for each server represents a significant portion of overall spice production, and that's production you can't realistically interfere with.

>>532661632
If we could move our buggy it'd be a cool way to get that into the DD.
Sadly we can't, and having a buggy in the DD is useless anyway.

Enjoy the combined arms vision. And by that I mean rocket thopters all day every day fuck you.

>>532671178
If you want to gatekeep the t6 content like a complete motherfucker you havee to block off the titanium islands.

Yeah, someone smart would get their guild of 60 subhumans (and potentially alliance of 200 more) to block off as many nodes in the deep desert as possible. No supply in hagga, no supply in the deep desert, means you actually have a feasible shot at jacking up prices and cornering the market on plastanium, which will shoot its price higher than spice as it's intrinsically harder to get.

Would that even be worth it? Who cares there's nothing else to do in the game.

Eventually everyone will join whatever the biggest guild is so they have access to the monopolized resources, then the guild leadership will implement taxes, and the game will become defacto PVE.

>>532671178
I know. They can't keep this up, but I was missing some spice melange for some gear I wanted and figured I'd just buy the few I still need.

Can you pick up a thumper someone else has put down in the Basin and PvE portions of DD?

Theres a plasma cannon reward in the landsraad on my server. That weapon any good?

>>532673249
Grab some spice and list it at 5k - 10k

Might as well profit off their retarded mistake while you can. They'll either burn another few hundred million buying all the spice off the market that undercuts them, or impatient retards who need their spice RIGHT NOW will buy up yours as it's the cheapest on the market at time.

>>532672653
I can't tell you, the big 'all PvP all the time' guilds are practically insane anyway.
They do not act logically and actively destroy the game they play by bashing all the solos and small groups.

>>532674341
I saw a video of it, the guy charges up and shoots 2-4 projectiles over about 2 seconds and kills a maas kharet NPC with it.

It looked slow, clunky, and ineffective - same as every other heavy weapon, as their mechanics are all designed by a retard.
Aside from flamethrowers, none of them even fit the theme of the game or its tech.

Hello Mr. Developer

Don't use "overtuned" you effete limpwristed cuck. The word is "overpowered". If you cucks want to know what's OP just look at what everyone is actually using, and ask yourself if the stuff they're using has an actual, reasonable and not unrealistic-bullshit-that-never-happens-in-reality, counterplay.

The shit that's being slept on isn't suspensor blast or grav nades, it's medkits in the middle of fights and the health boost/regen passives and techniques (thrive on danger) which are turning decisive 2 minute fights into indecisive 15+ minute ones. That is of course, assuming you don't actually want people fucking around being practically untouchable and unkillable on foot if they understand what they're doing, which isn't something I can safely assume looking at the state of the rest of the game.

>>532675549
>>532651916
Every time someone walks away like a juggernaut and shrugs off your CC it was a suspensor blast player channeling and running and healing through your damage.

You should be able to switch sietches at all trade posts

>>532675348
That's pretty normal but in the long term those kinds of guilds and groups dissolve and die, they don't have staying power because they behave like rabid animals at the organizational level - even chewing off their own limbs for no reason.
It's the organized "sane" ones that stick around and take over and sculpt how the guild/PVP scene looks.

And you can deduce and predict what the sane guilds are going to look like because they'll take obviously beneficial actions that humans always take in these circumstances: Farming protection to guild members in PVP areas in exchange for a tax. Like every human society in our history.

It'll be fun for a couple months as various sane and insane groups compete, but eventually someone gets big enough nobody else can fight back, and then everyone joins that guild to farm resources unmolested, and now you've come full circle to a defacto nation-state, because this is simply the cause and effect of resource scarcity and human behaviour. You may get a few instances of guild drama breaking it all up again, but they get fewer and further between and things trend towards stability and safety.

The deep desert will become defecto PVE zones due to decreasing player pop and large guilds organizing and monopolizing resources for their members.

This is what Dune is like, actually. The setting is literally a stabilized landsraad of guilds who don't engage in open warfare with each other because it hurts profits and flirts with suicide.

You would think the devs of this game would have some inkling of understanding in regards to politics when making a game for a setting that is so heavily focused on sociology, human nature, and politics - but evidently not. They should've been embracing the kanly, minor houses, major houses, and player guilds in a clean integrated fashion instead of RUST LMAO!!!

>>532676381
Mistaking the symptom for the cause. Not saying suspensor blast is in a good state, but it's only a part of the problem.

Does this game have radiant quests

>>532677573
no lol

Kind of with the Landsraad weekly objectives

>>532677032
There's a planned server transfer function in the works, promised already. Those guilds don't die, they move, and "ruining" a server is the ultimate domination.

>48,110 people across the world have been farming plastanium and spice for 2 months to do fucking nothing with and dutifully handing in 100 dildos to the landsraad guy to get vote points in a thing that doesn't fucking matter or for swatches for single armor types that often look like shit

is it sunk cost? is base deterioration such a potent motivator to keep someone going?
after your 100th ship salvage, 200th ornithopter DD trip, how does it not start to make you want to kill yourself? how is anyone playing this actual fucking septic ass wound of a game? (i guess 70% of people aren't anymore)

steam only allows two week returns now, on top of a time limit. joel isn't here, none of the devs are, they're vacationing for at least two more weeks. 50 hours is not a feasible amount of time to get "done with the game" unless you were an experienced player rushing directly to ornithopter and skipping cutscenes/dialog.

>>532674341
No. Any weapon that relies on consistent DPS is bad because it disables shields for longer. One shot weapons like the Drillshot or sniper are the strongest.

I actually enjoyed most of my experience - I find resource gathering relaxing. DD is fucked because of dogshit perverse incentives and shitty fucking rocket thopter centric design, and even that would've been fine for me if players were immune to rockets so you didn't get oneshot trying to gather spice.
That said, I am quitting soon, so...

>Fill a thopter with cargo

meanwhile my alt is safely logged out in my shared base, lmao

>>532703106
This is such an insane move to take, who the fuck gives a shit if a handful of people are using family sharing for exploits.

Fuck me ALL OF THIS could have been avoided if they had made SINGLE PLAYER AND COOP SERVERS

>>532700693
Armed rocket thopters can be stored. i.e. you can fly around, shoot at people, then pokeball it the moment you dont want to lose it.

Meanwhile spice farmers the moment they put 1 item in their storage get fucked and cannot store it, you have to dump a thopters inventory.

Its the sort of bias towards player killing that Funcom is renown for.

>>532703106
what he means is "i left all my duped items on an account i can no longer access"

every cheater has a brother somewhere.

>>532704156
but funcom made dedicated/timed pvp server rulesets. it's not something they wanted to avoid. it's something they never intended for dune, with no intention going forward. sales up, game outsold their expectations, more stuff literally in development. these are not concerns they're worried about or addressing or thinking of at all.

>>532703106
A low IQ employee browsing this thread saw someone exploiting the family share system and didn't think for even two seconds how legitimate users use it, because you know, he's a moron.

Now they have further dug themselves a hole and pissed off 10,000x more people because they can't think through the consequences of their actions - again, a low IQ trait.

This company is staffed by fucking retards, like holy shit. Literally not a single thing they've done has been thought through to its 2nd, 3rd, 4th order consequences. It would've taken 10 seconds to ask ChatGPT what the potential problems are, without even having to do any thinking themselves and they still couldn't manage it, that's how stupid these retards are. A non sentient autocomplete is smarter than them.

>>532706442

you asked where the updates were, they already happened. your dew gathering woes you're trying to intensify as some huge glaring problem are an afterthought, they might get to it, when their vacation is over, while everyone else throws corpses into a deathstill or afks with windtraps. you'll just have to wait for the august update.

>>532706920
The reason no one has sympathy for Funcom is because its not one thing, its all the things. Its releasing a PvP game but claiming its PvP optional. Its releasing entire finished building pieces on third party websites or cosmetics from limited time challenges which players can never get. Its there being unanimous agreement that X is broken and should be removed until its fixed; and Funcom ignoring it. Its the fact the game doesn't even have PvP, its just low IQ low risk player killing but extreme risk PvE. Its making a "PvP" game then not having a single fair mechanic for PvP like duels or arenas, which would have been piss easy to add before launch.

Like it genuinely just seems like Funcom got an IP and said lets clone Conan, learn nothing from how much people hate player killing mechanics and then ignore every single complaint and issue people raise over months of beta testing. And its also not like anyone is asking for the moon, no one is asking for some major new zone addition/rework with hundreds of hours of content, they're asking for the bare fucking minimum changes to make what is here better.

>>532707889
Ah you don't even play the game. No one gives a fuck about dew gathering you stupid nigger but if you had reached end game you would know there are multiple reasons why moving water on mass is required.

Now shut the fuck up and go back to your minimum wage job being a shit marketing shill.

>>532707889
>le dew harvesting
You realise the ENTIRE end game is DD right? You realise one of the gimmicks is water, right? That people can't move water between zones without using a fucking auto clicker? Holy shit learn how to play lmao.

>>532706063
it's pretty obvious they got overwhelmed with the amount of fixing they had to do at launch (who the fuck launches a game at the same time the whole studio is going on vacation??) and haven't even started putting effort into quality of life improvements.

>>532707090
Protip faglord: Offload the mental work to AI, you're not cut out for making decisions or thinking actions through and frankly, it can probably program better than you too.
At least the AI can write C++ instead of dicking around with unreal's fisherprice blueprints.

>>532707125
They're probably locked into "squash bugs" by management so nobody's allowed to add features like QoL changes until management is happy that they're done with exploits and vulnerabilities.
When you've got a dev team this incompetent, I can understand. Someone taking an entire day to write up a "deposit all" button can't be trusted to do that without fucking something else up. What an absolute shitshow their dev environment must be.

>>532708130
You know whats really funny, 95% of these complaints would have been ignorable had they just released single player and coop servers like every single one of their competitors. Instead they've hamstrung this game forever.

>Dev who makes toxic games surprised at their toxic player base
The reason Rust works is some naked on a beach is as big of a threat as some guy whose been on the server for 500 hours because a bow is a bow. Toxic ass pvp invites toxic ass players and there is nothing worse than grind games that give you advantage with how much time you no-life into it.

>>532708130
>They're probably locked into "squash bugs" by management so nobody's allowed to add features like QoL changes until management is happy that they're done with exploits and vulnerabilities.
This makes sense, especially since its clearly management whose fucked up this game.

>>532707889
>are an afterthought
I would say its a primary thought. Considering Funcom already has mass water developed like the buggy water canisters which is clearly cut content but the retards used in marketing materials.

Cancel the building competition, release the twitch/skins all for free as an apology and then fire the whole marketing team top to bottom, they have no fucking clue what they're doing. You just saved yourself a fuckton of money.

suspensor blast is receiving more complaints right now because it's a good tool for ranged players against melee, and there's more players running melee. ditto the red bubble grenade and mine. these questions seem like complaints from the melee direction asking for supremacy. i would wait until more servers are older and have more of the mixed melee/gunplay meta before visiting these questions.

>>532716907
1-2 vs many videos all feature suspensor blast, even melee builds. peel for your team mate if duo, get multiple off you, ignore shotgun/nade/melee/rocket staggers, heal to full around a corner.

Honestly playing both ranged/melee suspensor blast is P underwhelming compared to crippling strike.
The hyperarmor is good and all, but the wind ups too long and too easily to animation cancel or dash out of. Hell, even regular non-sprint speed gets you out of the range if you start at the cast.

It only really shines as an anti-gank equalizer, so it's them who's complaining

>>532717123
yeah i get that, but i still think it's too early to visit while there's still full servers where only 4 dudes have ever shot a gun in pvp. they're only just looking at the tools devs left in the game for one combat style to compete with the other

well that hotfix ruined my current plan of starting another character on the same sietch. at least the player I did start has fuck all I like a week of power

>>532716907
It's dune, it shouldn't even be in question that melee has supremacy. The entire setting is built on that idea.

Every build should be melee + ranged options for utility

There shouldn't be any such thing as a ranged build. You're a melee build with more ranged options.

Unfortunately this game is managed by idiots, so I fully expect in the near future if not already that ranged projectile weapons have supremacy in a fucking dune game.

>>532723620
Your kind ain't welcome here, pvpnigger

My server is really chill in terms of PvPniggers, the problem is whether there's people or not, DD is just really bereft of things to do.

>do lab, assuming it hasn't already been looted by 1 (one) person
>do ship assuming it hasn't already been looted by 1 (one) person
>do spice field assuming it hasn't already been looted by 1 (one) group
>do one loop around minerals island assuming it hasn't already been looted by 1 (one) group

Give me an EVE style system where I push a 'spawn content' button but someone running a 'find player content' device gets alerted that I'm doing a content thing.
Let me sell the location of content things that are too hard for me to solo (i.e. are designed for a group) to group players.

>but how would you do that?
You'd have to make the DD 10x larger than it already is, and/or totally change how you interact with the DD (like some kind of overworld map thing unless moving to specific known bookmarks) or something more aesthetic
It's supposed to be like a hemisphere of unclaimed desert, it should actually be ultra massive, and no I'm not asking for taking an hour to go from one place to the other I'm asking for an EVE-esque system where you're in a big "room" and you push a button to search for "doors" to content that's procedurally generated but pirate types get to know about it / can also scan for it and get clues that a player or group is there.

>>532725035
Why would you play this game for PvE past the main/sidequests in Hagga? The survival mechanics are barebones and poorly thought out, and any sense of danger pretty much ceases to exist after the first hour or two. The gather / crafting amounts to drawing lines on rocks and clicking space.

>>532725395
t. rocketspamming retard

>>532725395
he's actually hauling inventories full of decaliterjons between hagga and DD, it's a very serious issue

>>532725786
You never answered my question. I haven't used thopter rockets in a while, and will only bring them out if I need to escort my friend's carrier. It's boring as fuck and I'd much rather thrust around looking for ground fights on resource islands or labs/shipwrecks. Again, why would you play this game for PVE after doing all the quests, when the remaining PVE "experience" is a low effort funnel into getting sealclubbed by the same rocket retards you think I belong to?

>>532727282
Why do you care so much? I enjoy upgrading my things and building a bigger and better base with better gear. DD is in a shit state even if there was no rocketspam but I'm having a good time.

>>532727613
I don't care, I'm just curious. If you're enjoying your time, by all means keep doing what you're doing. What I think has no bearing whatsoever on your preferences. I just feel like there are many better options for PvE survival games, and I can't imagine playing this past Hagga if I didn't enjoy some of the PvP aspects.

>>532727737
I'm playing this game because I love Dune. If this was branded as anything else like Rust 2 or some shit I wouldn't touch it at all.

>>532727935
Understandable. Even though I'm enjoying DD PvP, I wish this was a single player story driven game done by a different dev, but oh well.

>family sharing was padding the player count
>they are now sabotaging even that
i am satisfied with this explanation

>>532716907
The presence of ranged at all is absolutely fucking stupid. It should not exist at all like the movies or be stuck as being one shot only extreme limited use. The fact they went for fucking shotguns and fully auto dark guns is retarded.

>>532725395
>and any sense of danger pretty much ceases to exist after the first hour or two.
Yes, exactly, because the dumb fuck devs slapped in PvP no one wanted instead of putting in harder and harder PvE challenges.

No one gives a FUCK about unbalanced PvP, barely anyone is going into the DD and there isn't a fucking thing they will ever be able to do to fix that.

>>532729109
meh I started an alt on the same server with family sharing. I wanted more sub fiefs. I just started a base for my alt using my main. if it turns out better than my current two then I guess my alt get's one of them

Once Human has had the Family Sharing "alts" problem for like a year, it's bonkers that Dunc devs weren't aware of it despite clearly lifting lots of ideas from the game

>>532731026
it cant be said enough how fucking stupid they are
they had the lightning in a bottle that a game gets every now and again like palworld, monster hunter, lethal company, even once human/first descendant, just any game with an explosion of attention that just seems to be random and these imbeciles that made this game shat in that bottle. not due to malice probably, just they were that stupid and they cut every corner

Family account rights are human rights

>>532731026
>>532737660
I don't understand how Once Human is/was as popular as it is/was. Literally everything about it is ripped off from other pieces of media, often directly lifted, never giving any credit or attribution. They had fucking Siren Head in there. They had the red light/green light thing from Squid Game. It's just nonstop stolen shit.

There really is no point in the DD aside from titanium and stravidium. T6 blueprints you can get from Landsraad or the auction house and there isn't enough spice over such a wide area to farm efficiently when you can just sietchhop and vaccuum up 1000+ spicesand in a few minutes.

Perhaps if you're in a guild with a harvester and you have a chill server so you don't often get attacked but even then I would be curious if the math works out.

>>532744029
yes, it is where things are balanced for groups, and guilds, as they stated. mobs, designed for groups. i said this all along and was told to "git gud."

But guilds are a 90s thing, no one gives a shit about them anymore and any dev who makes games for guilds is a retard.

>>532746062
There seems to be a disproportionate amount of solofags in this game

Either no one likes the group gameplay or this game attracts a particular group of people.

>>532748040
>But guilds are a 90s thing, no one gives a shit about them anymore
See that's why I say players are also at fault. You're all a bunch of crying broken loners. Holy fuck "guild" is not a subgenre to like or not like your gay ass pixelated weeb fantasies, its basic social interaction you troglodyte

>>532752057
to be fair, the guild infrastructure for this game is barely existent

>>532752218
I know but only a modern cave dwelling social deprived kirito loser could write such a comment. I'm sorry.

How many fire opals do you get in the deep desert compared to in haga basin (which is like 4-7 per buried treasure)?

>>532752057
>>532752451
NTA but you sound like a real annoying, sopping cunt with some kind of complex, honestly.

Saying the multiayer culture has changed from the 90s/naughties when people would form tight knit groups splitting the cost of ventrilo servers and spending all day in VC to something more mercenary and dispersed; easier but lower lock-in, so to speak, is a valid and accurate read of things. People will be typically hopping across dozens of discords without really committing or coordinating in the same way as the old days.

>remember some anons were glazing PS2
>look up how PS2 really was
>all infantry complaining about dying to vehicles and being farmed
>small groups/solos complaining about getting zerged and feeling useless

>>532753692
Those anons (incl me) and Joel were the ones in ESF sky chariots farming noobs 15:1 kdr with air-to-ground rockets

It was a grand time

>>532753638
You're a faggot probably using DC showing what game you play to other losers doing the same lmao stfu

>>532753870
According to this thread that's actually the low hanging fruit, what unskilled pilots did because they couldn't fight other vehicles as a new pilot.

>>532753692
It was no where near as bad as DD is right now. With PS2 you could just spawn elsewhere and start taking over other places or hop to one of the other continents. TR did fucking love to hold THE CROWN in the center of Indar, but we were the ones being "farmed" and it was entirely our choice to hold that node.

>>532753448
I can't tell you the exacts, but it's enough that I had hundreds in stacks to sell on the AH after a few buried treasure outings last week. Doing it even on the PvE side of DD will give you a lot of extra easy components to flip on your AH like plasteel plates and other T6 crafting materials for quick cash

>>532755015
Thanks. I need like 200 for the landsraad so I suppose I'll got to the PvE DD and get them there.

>bros I keep getting kill by Joel and his gang in my scout thruster so I came here to vent how unfair multiplicity is to soloing

>>532757494
What if he came back from vacation and posted what he did over vacation, and it was just him and the devs ganking scrubs in DD over and over?

My server is a griefer paradise and yet I have never been killed by any of them. Got downed one time but he couldn't finish the job (overheated probably).

Wtf is this guildsperg permaloser spazzing off about now
It's almost impossible to die as a thruster scout against rockets especially with the speed malus they introduced for the latter

what kind of cringe retard makes up imaginary greentext scenarios in his mind to laugh at lmao

>>532757841
I'd be laughing harder

>>532758017
If you die while in the air and you have a thruster you're genuinely retarded.

However most people die on the ground, while harvesting spice or titanium so their shield is off and two rockets will down you easiy

>>532758017
NTA but I think he's making a fun exaggeration of your e-tears. You shouldnt have commented it that fast imo

>>532758598
Keep posting more images from your le epic 4chin folder, sperg

>>532758591

i watched an ekko pvp video and he's downing thopters with one rocket from ancient way on foot, like all the time, sometimes they get away and repair and he still kills them when they come back and get downed again, they can't simply boost away because a wing is broken already.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_w3gby18Wk

>>532758717
dw I'll keep you on the hook my little hungry sea life !

>>532758919
Thats not what gankers do. They just stay in their thopters and pelt you with rockets when you start mining.

I doubt most of those assholes even have a portable rocket launcher

>>532759737
he is mining in one of the clips, just pops into the air and pulls out his launcher, guy floats away and repairs and eats another rocket, then dies to a dart for every man in a nade.

Just one more day and all the griefers will leave on my server and I can load up on 10k titanium

spice blow right next to the shield wall, very weird

>>532767304
This happens, even had some in the radiated part of Sheol once or twice

fuckin sky whales

>>532752057
You design your game for the players you have, not the players you want.

Maybe you haven't noticed but we imported millions of subhuman antisocial shitskins into our countries and gave the rest of them around the planet internet access. You're never going to see 90s era guilds again until that changes.

>>532767304
ez money

>>532753692
If you're new to planetside yeah it was pretty miserable. Especially in the early days.

But it was easy to work around later on - when airchavs show up you either coordinate with your outfit to grab AA together and make them fuck off, or you respawn-hop to a fight where there's too many people for them to successfully airchav.

A much bigger problem that they never really solved were TR prowlers going lockdown mode and shelling bases, spawn points especially, from a km away without ever directly engaging. This single handedly killed the game in my opinion, as it took them something like 4 or 6 years of base redesigns to 'fix', because nerfing prowlers or tanks was absolutely out of the question. They even eventually removed the Vanguard's iconic shield ability, and then gave it to the prowler for some reason.

So anyway the typical fight for the first few years of the game was spawn somewhere, 15 prowlers are shelling the spawn point, it doesn't have shields so you instantly die inside the spawn. Repeat for every fight everywhere on the map. It's not unlike this game where the devs had lightning in a bottle and then completely wasted it by never doing any of the common sense things people were practically begging for. Player pop dropped off a cliff because of bad decisions early on and that was that - the game never recovered.

Planetside 2 of 2020 would probably have been much more successful if that was the state of the game at launch - good performance, base design mostly mitigates the armor/air zergs, and lots of PVE support options for people who can't into PVP, but as always too little too late. They couldn't get the needed changes done fast enough and everyone moved on after their bad experiences.

>>532773104
not all companies are forced to do games for colored baby iPad raised zoomers

>>532775350
>you either coordinate with your outfit
such actions automatically send you to a third world country and you become a minority when this happens, the thread told me.

>>532758919
Every thopter he kills in this video takes multiple rockets to "down". That being said, Ancient Way is strong as fuck and will destroy individual components in 2, maybeee 3 hits.

>>532754324
Yes, if you sucked at flying you went full A2G build and raped people. 15:1 is actually a bad KDR for air to ground fights. A good player would be well over 30. To describe the experience: You roll up on a sunderer spawn point, it's surrounded by 20 people, you shoot your A2G weapons and 8 people are now dead in about 3 seconds. A couple of them try and shoot back at you and you just jet away, maybe one guided missile hits. You land and repair and come back and repeat.

Sometimes you'd get way way way more than 8 kills in one spot. Like biolab landing pads.....

At the perfect player densities and retard levels you literally just hover over the fights one-shotting players in the open and rack up hundreds of kills without being killed back even once.

And to put the deaths in perspective, I was killed by ground fire while playing airchav as often as I accidentally flew into things. 10:1 or higher KDR in an ESF was trivial. In comparison, cheaters with ESP and aimbots fighting in biolabs max out long term around 6-9kdr.

>>532772852
Bet they're full of spice.

>>532772852
is that spice hallucination ? someone posted a giant burning giraffe once. this is cool

What's a control point do in pve area

>>532778243
lol don't even believe in giraffes

>>532775819
Unlike this retard designed game, planetside 2 actually had a really robust outfit system and enabled you to coordinate with multiple squads of ~12 people.

Not a squad of 4
No broken icon indicators
Icons for all 60 people in your platoon, color coded by squad
With squad leaders and platoon leaders and different voice/chat channels between local, squad, platoon, and command

With searchable outfit lists to join, names of outfits displayed when bases were captured, playernames displayed over their heads so you could quickly DM someone to ask to join their outfit and 1 click join popups to do so

third worlders are a problem, this thread is correct, and dune has the most barebones low effort trash guild/outfit design I have literally ever seen in a mass multiplayer game. You basically can't manage a guild in-game at all, you have do 90% of organization and communication through discord.

>>532775408
This game is pretty explicitly designed for retards, you can tell by the UI

>>532779549
all those actions you did in PS2 are that of a minority, according to this thread, you have to be solo only. no coordination. no friends. no chat programs, just 4chan and alone.

>>532779549
Its design for console release sorry PC mustard race brown eyes

>>532780286
It certainly wasn't designed to be played on PC, you're absolutely correct about that.

>>532767304
That's a well known spot for me. I check it every time I pass by because it's really not an obvious place to look for spice and is often untouched.

>>532780892
Its been stated many time but its obvious we're beta testing the official console release, to which at that point, should be more stable and have more contents. Its why done-players thread-doomers get the laugh at currently. You just finally caught up to the current state of the video game industry. Good. Now go outside for a real summer sunstroke.

>>532781571
>claims to be white in one post
>posts brown mystery meat in another post
lmao

>>532781995
The only thing I claimed was to keep you on the hook. You're too easy honestly. Ill be outside for the rest of the weekend tanning my yellow ass. Have fun on your polternet sandcake

>>532783179
I'm not even the dude that's been replying to you, just laughing at you posting mystery meat mutts and making stupid posts

>>532781571

you've (and only you) said it like two times, interesting to see two doomtrannies swiping at each other though. you guys are on the same side.

>>532783646
Then that makes two of us laughing. Ain't internet great fun haha.

ok bye for now

>>532784571
UE6 will run all this stuff perfectly well but there'll be a new retarded visual gimmick the entire industry will be revolving around to try to sell you overpriced graphics cards.

Lighting should be baked in, dynamic lights were a mistake from the beginning.

You are taking advantage of dupers trying to launder all their solari, right?

this is Dune saar

Yayyyyy

No its there, it just replied to me again.

just got to the deep desert and now i'm feeling like quitting
that's really all the endgame is? doesn't even feel worth the grind

In this post you acknowledge you are trans, and that you don't wish to be fetishized. Are you sure you wish to post this?

Those retards will believe anything on the internet fucking lol

i'm not seething lol picture of guy laughing.gif lol ending my sentences with lol and lmao to show i'm not seething ifunny-laughingguy-gif.jpeg lol

>>532789256
The moment you stopped talking about Dune/the video game (because you were wrong again) was the moment you already lost. Hope that clues you in on why you keep resorting to use Ad Hominem and Troonposting defenses. Big mouth, little to say and 0 trolling capability on top of it. You have 48 hours to up your posting quality. Good luck Sherlock

Will you two just shut the fuck up

Attention all doomposters:

does the unique mk5 static compactor have a lower drop rate

I think we can all agree the radio stations need more music.

Are you fucking serious, Funcom?

>>532806653
Yeah it's fucking ridiculous.

>>532806653
>>532807660
At least its still possible to fit the old and plast crafting stations in one base, but it is fucking stupid that the best stations in the game cant do other crafting.

>>532811559
It takes up another few production slots so that means generator upgrades.

Will they ever merge dead servers

>>532813106
Half their company is on vacation. You ain't getting shit right now except slight fixes (maybe).

>>532813028
You're not supposed to keep everything running 24/7

this didn't need a thread
you don't actually have anything to talk about

If only Dune Awakening were gachaslop.

>>532813413
It's amazing how many people go through to the endgame not knowing that you can turn fabs or generators off and on

I got through to full t6.5 gear and tech progression with a large ore refinery, never having more than two basic wind generators and 2 fuel cell ones in my taxfree concrete shitbox

>>532814621
Exact same for me. I do not understand why you would build more than those 4 gens. It covers everything.

>>532784571
reflex is a gimmick to offset the frame generation gimmick which fucks your frametime

Basically the way framegen works is your game feels and plays like its at 30fps but framerate monitors tell you that the game is running at 180fps. It's literal bullshit

>morning chest was a triple
we eatin' good

>>532816601
Cant wait for two weeks when you can just walk into these labs and no one is ever around to loot them

>>532817301
when the labs are clear and free for you to loot you won't care anymore because you won't even be playing this game

>>532817572
I will and it will make you mad lmao

Shut the fuck UP

[TRAGIC NEWS] The controversy and backlash on the disabling of family sharing has accelerated steeply especially among PVE boomer dads who play through their wife's black son's steam acct

They seem especially angry with some dev comments that it might take up to 5 months to bring it back...

>>532821992
[reality check] exploit discords are encouraging abusers to pretend to be upset over this change, they did the same for the last banwave on tuesday

Jokes aside I think a lot of the malding is fairly legit, I mean, I made an alt to cheese the fuck out of both sides landsraad and when I can't get it this week, I just shrug and keep playing on my main

Meanwhile these niggas are crying about losing bases and DD inventories and not being able to play at all, it smacks of them using the family share for legitimate progress and playtime rather than just cheesing with alts. Though of course, there'll be some cheaters among those caught with their duped inventory pants down

>>532821992
That looks like...1-2 posts every 2-5 hours?

>>532821992
And there goes the last part of the playerbase that would stick with the game no matter what

THE IDEAL customer:
>father with disposable income
>his kids also play the game KACHING
>He has no time to keep up with what's happening and only plays 2 hours a week
>trusts the devs will do what's right
>still buys every single DLC and then some for his kids and because he "loves the game"
>will keep playing and buying things even if him and his kids are literally the only ones on the server
>Is universally bad at every single game mechanic but it doesn't matter, he's happy as long as he can draw a pattern on a rock and collect ore with his kids

The kind of customer who will put up with almost literally anything. ANYTHING.
Except not being able to play the game with his kids.

And they fucked that up. That's your core demographic when everyone else quits playing. The guys who keep shit like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous alive. The forumdads.

They managed to piss off the forumdads lmao

i actually like auntie ethel and she reminds me of my faghag friends unironically

>>532825734
funcom incompetence is so rare, such a perfect mix, that it's almost precious

Wouldn't it just have been as easy as creating a couple PvE only servers?

I mean they can still do that and allow server transfers.
