>this DD somehow has even worse schematics than the previous one

So Leto II ran an entire duncan idaho ghola program for thousands of years repeatedly iterating and perfecting duncan idaho bbc and buttcheeks in order to breed his great-great-great-great-great-great grandneice Siona Atriedes

Seems kinda cucky, doesn't it?

>>533136921
He's essentially a god, so when you look at it from that level not really. It's basically just animal husbandry at this point, breeding to get better stock.

>>533137201
he should've fucked ghanima himself desu, golden path, more like goldeNTR path, amirite

>>533136120
Thanks for the reply. I will definitely try to reas book I-IV once I got time. Now I'll be honest and say I haven't follow any of Dune Awakening's alternate timeline story. Any lore enthusiasm can spoiler tag me what's happening and where the story is heading to? If I make a new char someday I'll pay attention this time around. All I know is that its a timeline where Paul wasn't born

So im just sitting in this stupid shipwreck in the DD, waiting for a chest to respawn

This is fucking atrocious, how did they even imagine a server thats supposed to have hundreds of people could survive with a handful of chests with hours long respawn timers.

>>533136767
Light Pin is the best armor set in the game retard

>>533138280
Ngl I listened to the audiobooks and didn't actually "read" them since I always find it hard to keep my eyes open once in bed. Also being able to listen while doing simple tasks like cleaning, showering, or driving is nice. I got my copies from audiobookbay.lu and use audiobookshelf's self-hosted server to nicely organize all of my audiobooks. I digress though.

Regarding the story of the game, it's sort of up in the air since it's alternate universe territory and anything goes. The only thing you may have missed is the brown girl Ariste that's helping you later in the story is the daughter that is birthed by Lady Jessica instead of Paul

Is it worth it to restart in a very low pop server even if not in the same region (I’m EU) ?

>>533141453
Depends how far you are into the game

>>533141453
You can visit empty sietches and get spice (or shipwrecks/pvp bases) there. I would only switch to another server if the people in your DD really suck.

How far along are you? I really wouldn't wanna do a grind to 200 again.

>>533141453
Feels like the pop is dropping across the board. If you're desperate for a less contested DD you'll probably get that soon, even the week-by-week drop is noticeable, at least on my server.

ironically pvefags might be coming back to the DD now that the gankers are bored out of their mind

>>533141008
I might go with audiobooks too since I'm often on the move, no shame in that in current year. If the version you linked narrated by a single person or there's difference VA per characters?

>>533144674
I think I listened to the newer ones from the 2000s. The first book had different VAs I think which I didn't care for but the rest of the books from that time are single VA

>>533144995
Looking forward to it thank you

>No one is listing dust plas
>no one is listing any DD loot at all except basic plas at 6k or more and spice at 12k or more
Oh wow look at that people cbf selling stuff they could keep themselves. Amazing.

So is Denis Villeneuve gonna stop the DUNC at Messiah? How the fuck is that gonna work when it bridge to his twin childs and the whole part where Paul go die in the Desert and is later revealed that he is still alive as a Preacher. On that subject why did Leto II (and Paul himself) let his dad get publically killed in Arrakeen, wouldn't they know it would happen anyway, why would they even kill him at all anyway

Is solitary DD safe for pve fags

>>533152020
No place is safe from Joel's V I S I O N

>>533152020
>Is solitary DD safe for pve fags
Not really.
In the hour or two after the morning reset, it's only "safe" to go grab spice, I recommend hunting medium blooms on the map edges like 1-2 or 8-9 in a storage scout, or mine titanium from the main island though even that can get unlucky. Every PvP lab/shipwreck has always had an empty chest or a lynch mob waiting for me at the end no matter the hour or day. There's a coalitions of guilds under SAARS that attack on sight during prime hours if you're near "their" resources

If you wanna eek out as much as you can from the real PvE side, try to make a base over a titanium/stravidium double node and eventually upgrade to use a buggy mk6 cutter to mine them for maximum return with minimal effort. The two T6 PvE labs are 6wave slogs from the look of things this week, but should reward decently in demand pincushion schematics and plast dust. Doing them at prime time and decent hours should have some randoms running in to help

>>533152020
It's not safe but if you play as you should, the only thing you will lose is armor durability if you get killed.

I was wondering how much of the time is spent just gliding. If we assume mk6 scout at 182km/s that amounts to 50.55m/s. If you build in the DD as most people do around the far D and beginning of E that's 10 to 11 km. That's 180 to 200 seconds every one way trip trip.

That's actually fucking ridiculous for the fastest mode of transportation in the game.

How far away do you have to be for dropped loot to despawn?

>>533158629
imagine if they just never put gliding in the game
imagine hovering all the way to the ass end of the DD

>>533158801
I think it's a limited time, not a distance thing.

>>533158629
>I was wondering how much of the time is spent just gliding.
At least half of my average session time is spent in vulture mode alt tabbed now. Shit's grim until we get a DLC zone too high for ornithopters to function

>>533159454
I guess my idea of dropping off mined ore at an interim safe spot before unpocketing my storage thopter won't work then.

>>533161007
Sure it does. I do it all the time.
>land at titanium island
>immediately pocked thopter
>set waypoint at loot pile
>go mine
>drop ore off at loot pile when full
>when at 650ish volume, summon thopter near loot pile, load up, and fuck off

What's the respawn timer on a titanium node anyway?

>>533166524
45 minutes

Why is everyone so scared of the pvp side? You lose literally nothing if you die except some durability on your armor (so just go naked).

Even if you get killed a couple times you will get so much more titanium from the big islands.

>>533170807
People would actively engage in the PVP if it were consistently fun.

My friend's first PVP encounter was at a shipwreck and he died some 6 or 7 times in what started as a 1vs1 but turned into a 1vs3 to a guy who ambushed him there, and came close to swearing the game off after that. He then went and purposefully fought a few more times at shipwrecks and lost basically every time because everyone he's fighting is either ganking 4vs1 or already had 500 hours on him from playing the advanced access and knew everything they were doing and what abilities to use and had full T6 gear and weapons.
So he decided the game wasn't for him and moved on.

There wasn't any room for learning or enjoying the PVP even for someone who wanted to try it

Nobody wants to do PVP because it's just not worth the squeeze. I'm primarily a PVP player in other games and I've had no interest in it either after seeing how it actually works out. The game isn't built around being fun for anyone but a guild of seal clubbers, and since I'm playing this solo now, I know better than to engage with that kind of content.

I like the atreides swatch on harkonnen variants and the harkonnen swatch on atredies variants
I think it looks cooler

>>533172194
Why didn't that 1v1 turn into a 2v1 or 2v3 for your "friend". It turned into a 1v3 because the other guy had real friends and you're a piece of shit.

Are the pve testing stations actually pve this week?

>>533174840
NTA but that's just asking for two people to waste their time being trounced and outnumbered. Except you feel the "power of friendship" while you both get bent over.

What do you get out of it besides lost time? You lose durability on your items too, hopefully you had nothing on you that was unique or hard to farm! Such engaging and amazing content over a constellation chest that may not even have a BP worth looting and can only be looted by one of you.

>>533174840
Did anyone read this post and not cringe? I sometimes wonder how people can even make posts like this one and expect to be taken seriously.

>sandstorm is approaching
>base deactivates its shield right before it arrives
???? Wouldn't the one time you want the shield active to be during the sandstorms??? Can a Dune loreguy explain?

>>533175458
Yes. Surprisingly, Funcom managed to not fuck up for either of them this week.

>>533141008
Listened to all the core Frank Herbert Dune books on audio a few years back after my buddy suggested them like a religious experience (he was right), the only one I had an issue with is the first because it is partially abridged and closer to an audio drama a bit as it has a full cast along with sound effects, however the other five books in the Frank Herbert core work are just normal audio books.

Currently listening to the first Brian Herbert book he did, the prequel book he released in 1999, Brian is certainly not as skilled a prose writer as his Dad, but I don't know, there is something weirdly entertaining about it even though it is very much more towards scifi slop than esoteric world building originally seen in Frank's work. Helps that I am just on a big Dune binge again right now due to the game

Anything good in the patch notes?

>>533178535
a patch needs to exist first, still on vacation today as well.

>>533178118
Goold?

>>533177670
Brian didn't write anything, the books are written by anderson, brian's name is on the titles as part of the marketing and licensing deals. The publisher approached him with a lot of money and an offer: You agree to give us the rights to publish more dune novels and use your name, banking off your father's work, and we'll have anderson write everything while you enjoy the royalty payments.

And that's what happened. Nothing has been written by brian herbert - everything is anderson's writing. The most anderson's done is gather up and work off notes frank herbert left behind.

>>533180883
>The most anderson's done is gather up and work off notes frank herbert left behind.
Sorry that should be, "the most brian's done"

>>533177670
Allow me to add to your post that the Dune series really touch on the theme of family legacy for better or worse. With that in mind I suppose you can really appreciate what Bryan brings to his Dad's universe even if subpar in a way.

>>533180883
If that's true then maybe they are really not worth reading

>>533176202
Plenty of PVP players win against more numerous opponents in this game and enjoy overcoming the odds. The anon also claimed to be a PVP player in other games, so it's perfectly fine to call them out for avoiding that activity when their friend could have benefited from their help. Many loot chests are in locations that can be checked from the outside to see if it has been looted. You're not guaranteed material benefits for investing your time in anything, especially not for helping a friend, that's just called being a friend.

dead game

>>533183307
In that case the friend would be better served by having a friend convince him to go do something more fun or productive together.

I'm not arguing against friendship, its good to have friends and the reward for friendship is the friendship, but that's not an excuse to go waste time together for nothing but irritation. There's plenty of other games to play together and other game modes within Dune.

When was the last time you had your friends sit in the passenger seats of a buggy with no cutteray just to take an idle drive around for no gain besides the company?

How many bases can you have in DD

>>533185318
You can have 3 fiefs total, doesn't matter in basin or DD

>>533184174
Your argument would make sense if it didn't ignore the facts stated by that anon. Their friend respawned 7 times trying to fight back. It's unlikely they could have convinced that friend to do something else. I think a real friend would offer to help around the 2nd or 3rd respawn instead of letting their buddy get humiliated 7 times in a row, only to then post about it here in an act of self-humiliation.

>>533177670
Oh yeah like I said in the previous thread I am glad I read the 7th and 8th books. I will say it was really boring being stuck on the no-ship for so fucking long but I thought they were interesting and it wasn't time wasted. I also gave the Sisterhood, Mentats, and Navigators of Dune trilogy a shot and thoroughly enjoyed them.

It's sort of a sequel trilogy to the Butlerian Jihad trilogy and probably should have read that first but it really wasn't necessary. Sisterhood of Dune was what the new show was loosely based on so I sort of got hooked after reading that.

>>533178118
Can I see it from other angles?

>>533187556

>>533185727
That anon's story sounds like said friend went and had his bad experience and then told his friend about it after the fact. The situation is somewhat niche, my greater argument that agrees with the original anon that the "juice isn't worth the squeeze" is still applicable.

I can agree that a person is a "bad friend" if he leaves his friend hanging when a person is positioned to help effectively in a timely and reasonable manner, though this is straying from the original anon's argument which was that "People would actively engage in PvP if it were consistently fun". It isn't fun, and all that's happening is the amount of people not having fun is increasing in order to pleasure a minority of mouth-breathers.

>>533188798
>juice isn't worth the squeeze
thanks for outing yourself as someone not worth engaging with

titanium icon looks like a poop emoji

>>533190296
That's because it's the shittiest resource to acquire.

>>533180883
Interesting, I would be curious to see how Anderson writes for women outside of Dune, because so far it's been either 'women are crones who don't fuck or sluts who deserve a torturous death.'

>>533182490
It is fascinating from a meta-narrative perspective, some things just seem comically goofy like Fenring making a sound like pic related as a tick from his genetic eunuch situation.

>>533186746
Yeah I plan on finishing all the Herbert/Anderson stuff, I already read a ton of 40k novels of varying quality so this isn't really all THAT bad for me personally, though I could totally understand people who were fans of Dune reading this in 1999 having a deeper psychic injury than anything Lucas did to Star Wars that year. To me it just seems very popcorn with every now and again a bit that comes off as 'oh that is something Frank wrote or conceptualized'.

>>533188402
I saw your base on pimpmydune earlier today and holy fuck you did amazing. Also the music was great, found the artist's other Dune-esque music he did and it's great.

>>533188402
I really like this, how many in game hours does a structure like this reflect?

>>533182698
NTA but I listened to an interview Scott Brick, the current narrator for the Dune audiobooks, did with Brian and Kevin and they mentioned how they each wrote different chapters and you might be able to notice the different styles. I don't know if Brian wrote any or not, but people that say he didn't seem to just spout shit because hating on him is the cool thing to do among Dune fans.

I think this was the interview, IIRC it happened at the end of one of the audiobooks and that's where I heard it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpKl32A-xJ8

>>533191753
>Scott Brick
This guy does great work, he has just this unique voice that is pleasing to listen to for audiobooks, can't quite put my finger on why, just soothing. Would be nice if he got a VA cameo in the game eventually.

>>533177474
The uhhhh static discharge from the sand particles rubbing together disables the shields, yeah, that's it

>>533178118
This is the raddest base I've seen in the game so far. Very H.R. Giger vibe. I fucking love it. Gonna redesign my base to look kinda similar.

>>533177353
They're a part of the horde, the occult or triggered friends of the studio with nonsense spammed to make you uncomfortable for not liking the product.

>>533177474
Purely game mechanic retardation

>>533190070
>Triggered by random phrase
And here I thought it'd be calling pro-PvPers "a minority of mouth-breathers" that'd bother you.

If you wanted to design the worst PvP game ever, this would be it
>Level is determined by time spent grinding and gives significant buffs (Up to 50% damage buffs) with no level ranges for PvP
>Gear is determined by time spent grinding and gives significant buffs (Anywhere from a 100 to 200% increase in damage) with no gear checks to ensure parity or similar gear tiers
>Mixed solo and group content
>No limit on sizes of groups
>Significant game engine limitations which dramatically benefit attackers over defenders (spice fields pop in)
The only thing that is missing is the ability to P2W, but apart from that, anyone trying to claim this PvP is good or requires skill hasn't got a brain worth keeping.

>>533201474
Fair enough. Just dont forget to repair those walls, they dont last the whole week.

The main storyline for this game did not expect anyone to actually play a Harkonnen.
>mfw kitten bitch tells me to hide shigawire in my hair.

>>533199863
It is good. It does require skill. You seem stuck on a very narrow definition of PvP. Please continue hyperfixating your way to oblivion without ever accomplishing anything.

>>533204580
NTA, but ground based combat is decent. The trouble is that you never get ground based combat. It's all rocket 'thopters all the time.

>>533204580

>>533205157
Go cry on the official discord where a dev might glance at your messages for a few seconds before laughing their asses off. I suspect you've already done that though. You want to remove mean people? You would be the first one to go. Everyone behaving in ways you dislike are all playing the game as intended. You're the one who wants change the rules to adhere to your sense of morality. You're the illogical one.

>>533205664
How is it that giedi prime is toxic enough to give me a Norwood 10 but I look like a faun when im naked? It’s not fucking fair bros.

>>533205024
get plenty of it on my server, people got tired of air combat because everyone just plays for height, also always saving their plane when they start losing, at least you can usually get a decisive kill on the ground so a lot of air fights end on the ground anyway

>>533207876
Sorry can't hear you over the sound of the DD now being PvE.

>>533207708
Be humble. If they had separate PvP and PvE servers you'd have no one to play with but zerg guilds.

>>533214748
>but zerg guilds.
These types of games never work with pure PvP servers. What happens is that the cowards who play it start getting smashed and quit.

>>533215072
Okay, so it'd be nothing but you and other gankers. Be humble.

>>533207708
Ummmm ehmmmmm duper

That sounds exciting. My server is at 100+ all the time but Atreides wins everytime. Right now theres a top 5 atreides guild on landsraad while us harko got two guilds that contributed. DD is pretty chill overall tough

>>533215442
The lack of matchmaking dungeons/raids or anything of the sort is insane for a game with combat this good and so many people wanting to coop.

>>533215859
That sounds cool. On my server some fuckwit and his buddies go around blowing everyone up on sight. They don't even land or harvest anything, they just blow stuff up. There isn't enough other people to stop them either.

>>533217015
so many cool things they could've done with this game

instead they somehow chose to do the worst possible things they could do with this game

>Full uniques
>Looks like this
My disappointment is immeasurable.

>>533217931
What's worse is that every 'unique' item has the exact same mesh as the basic green item of that tier, just with a different swatch. even when it doesn't make sense (why would a famous harkonnen general have a unique helmet identical to a standard mercenary helmet)?

No fucking excuse for skimping on assets like this desu,

>>533218112
Its genuinely making me want to use the Heavy base set instead, because holy shit this looks ugly

>>533218259
That is the most generic DA character I have seen yet.

Can you mod the draw distance

>>533218653
Its literally just the base hark male turned white (pink?)

>>533217931
>>533218259
>>533218653
CHOAM light base mesh looks like utter ass, don't care about the sperg shitting himself and screaming that pincushion is the best thing ever, I'll never respect the megasweaties sacrificing their self-respect for +3.8% light dart resistance

>>533219063
Genuinely correct and I regret this set completely. CHOAM heavy will be my only set from now on. Fuck the unique grind, that was insane. I got the boots and chest from landsraad by pure luck because they were easy as hell, but the other pieces I had to find and it took literally 24 hours non-stop gate keeping to get them. I sure as fucking hell won't ever do the DD again after this, if I can't buy spice infused plas and the uniques I wont bother.

What's a control point

>>533219805
An instant PvP flag if you make the mistake of flying over one. Don't build near them in PvE either. For Landsraad, a complete and utter waste of time that takes seventeen hours to get one worthwhile reward from a single house

>Made a large spice refiner
>25% off due to landsraad
>Trading melange for spice for people in the DD while reading the Dune books
This is maximum comfy

Man Harkkonen faction gets the coolest cosmetics in every category. Best base, best vehicles, best armor, best everything.

>>533225907
The base set is severely lacking in terms of number of pieces and variety, but the vehicles and armor are great yeah

Will my plastinium ingots sell at 12000

>>533227541
On my server the highest I see is 6k each, sometimes 10k

>>533227653
I'm the only listing so maybe someone will be desperate

>>533227804
if you're the only one then your chances are much better, just dont list too much, firstly it costs a lot to list and secondly someone might undercut you ruining your selling plans

b-bros??
how come the game failed even though we called people on 4chan shills?

>>533228517
How does your retarded brain translate 27k players into "dead game". You stupid nigger there's TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND PLAYERS PLAYING IT.

Inb4 your fucking stupid counterpoint that fhe game had hundreds of thousands on launch. ON LAUNCH YOU DUMB NIGGER. Of course it dropped. God you're so fucking annoying. Fucking nigger.

>200k is a lot (true!)
>100k is a lot!
>50k is a lot!
>2-20k... is... its more than indie titles!
LOL

>>533229058
That horsegacha kusoge has that few, even as a F2P? By the amount of /v/ shilling I thought it'd be a lot more.
The fact that it's the same order of magnitude as a 70 USD title months after a rocky release is embarrassing, really

>>533228752
NTA but 1m sales to 27k players is really bad in a month. Mostly I think its because the game has 0 PvE end game. They should ASAP put in matchmaking for dungeons which gives DD loot and you can repeat endlessly or something.

>>533229297
let me get a better example for you
this is is 6 years old and didn't have an 'endgame' or survivalslop elements
can't wait until mixed reviews kicks in

>>533229357
>1m sales to 27k players
It's 27k currently playing right now, not 27k people playing the game overall.

>>533229620
It peaks at 50k a day, that means barely anyone is playing it and it sure as hell won't be more than a hundred thousand a month of unique users.

>>533207708
we've been doing rocket thopter mk5 duels within our small group, and it's actually fun as fuck. just have to make sure we don't stray too far from a rock island in case a group comes in to third party us... or stray too far from the capture point if doing it in pve area and waste rockets on nothing.

>>533230239
You have no idea what you're talking about and pulling shit out of your ass.

Sorry facts hurt your feelings maybe be less retarded

>>533219805
A PVP zone in the Deep Desert. You access the Deep Desert on the world map with an ornithopter outside of the starting area of Hagga Basin. You protect this PVP zone for a minor house to win them over to House Harkonnen or Atreides. The longer you stay in it the more points you get. It is 70,000 to win over a minor house. It is 14,000 to max out personal contribution rewards for that minor house. You can see how many points you and your house accumulated for each minor house on their tile in the landsraad menu. You access it by pressing L. You need to go to their representative to get your rewards. For right now the representatives don't move around. Most are in Hagga Basin. At least two are in the PVE zone of the Deep Desert. The minor houses have an alternative goal on each tile to earn points. They come in two varieties: submit an item to the quartermaster for your house or a kill quest. Kills are rewarded points immediately but submissions only when you hand them into the quartermaster. One confusing part about the kill quests is there are two deserter goals a minor house might have. Read carefully. One is for deserters in the Hagga Rift in the Hagga Basin while the other is for deserters in the Deep Desert. Some of these Deep Desert deserters will be in Fremen caves with the orange symbol on the map while others are in the shipwrecks sometimes denoted by green symbols. Sometimes the Fremen caves in the Deep Desert have House Atreides instead. House Atreides for minor house kill quests can be found in Imperial Testing Stations in the Deep Desert sometimes. They also have two pvp zones in Hagga Basin: Artemis Pass and Aegis both of which are in O'odham iirc. Harkonenn have two pvp zones in Hagga Basin one in southwestern Mysa Tarill I think it was called the Beast's Claw and one in northern Sheol outside of the nuke zone.

>>533235506
Though to even start earning points in the Landsraad you need to complete the quest with the Harkonnen or Atreides representative in Anvil. After that you need to join a guild aligned with your house or create a guild for 1000 solaris. After creating the guild go to the Landsraad menu by pressing L and pressing the button under the banner for Atredies or Harkonnen to swear allegiance. The Guild menu is on a tab you'll see when bringing up the Landsraad menu.

>>533228517
I had to quit recently because of the bugs. The final straw was being killed by shai hulud in drum sand with a fake spice field that just blew in Western Vermillius Gap. Way too many fake spice fields. My ornithopter got stuck in the drum sand for no reason and would not allow me to exit, boost out of there, or ascend. I was just stuck in the sand in an ornithopter wildly fluttering about like a bug stuck in amber. With the bugs, the poor design choices regarding pvp and the landsraad, or not even completing the story of their story mode with no plans of finishing it the game was dead on arrival. The game is more of a proof of concept or a tech demo. If we are charitable it is at most a beta.

>>533236956
are you the one that was blogging about your spice hauls from sietch hopping? that's ruff

>>533236956
>The final straw was being killed by shai hulud in drum sand with a fake spice field that just blew in Western Vermillius Gap
Lol this just happened to me 5 minutes ago. I recognised what was happening because I saw it on others vids and bailed, bene sprinted to rocks and the worm chased me instead of the thopter (as it always does).

But that was the first time it happened, was insanely annoying and I cut it to a fucking millisecond to get away without losing my gear or thopter. bad luck bro, put in a screenshot and report of exactly what happened and what you lost sometimes they do replenish people for this stuff. I got stuck in some rocks and lost 30k, they gave me 200k in compensation.

>>533237117
No. I just got into the plastanium and deep desert content in the past week or two. I haven't posted until just now and don't use social media. I was the number two guild for Harkonnen on my world, Guildilocks, but it was a solo guild. Needless to say our House never achieves sysselraad. My world was Ossipirus if I recall and I was only ever on sietch Ramal.

when does the next episode of the main quest come out? cliffhanger just as i got invested.

>>533237432
I deleted my steam account instead. I just don't have the patience for modern gaming. Too many headaches. I got about 310+ hours in on the game.

>>533237663
>I deleted my steam account instead.
bit extreme bro, surely there was other shit you wanted and its not like these particular devs give a shit about people's steam accounts. isn't even much of a protest cause your money's gone and steam doesn't curate or produce any of the shit on its platform anyway

you could now pirate everything but how're you going to play multiplayer with hypothetical friends or whatever

He had a solo guild so prolly doesnt care.

Do you guys go solo until you get to mk5?
Im just getting to aluminium and built my first thopter.

Btw Any eu bros happen to be on on richese? None of my friends have this game or they're taking a break.

>>533240823
>Do you guys go solo until you get to mk5?
I was going solo at plastanium. Not like there is some job board help wanted system to join a big guild. You can do duraluminum solo. It just gets difficult when you need to produce large quantities of spice sand for spice melange refinement which is the real limiting ingredient for the last tier. Not the stravidium or titanium. Then again there are some other rare ingredients required in that last tier. I guess you get them mostly from downed deep desert ships and landsraad personal contribution. Some from fremen caves, shipwrecks, or imperial testing sites in the deep desert.

>>533229357
Active players are usually 5-10x the number of concurrent daily players, so 27k would mean ~150k - 300k active players. Going off them saying they've had a million copies sold, and most people would be playing around launch, then a 5x number gives ~1 million active players with 190,000 concurrent peak players, which lines up with their claims of a million sales.

So it's about 1 million active a month ago down to 150k today.

>>533240636
You can get either 8 or 9 dashes with stim leggings

>>533242262
You can craft most of those special ingredients with an adv survival fab, but they require a melange each along with the basic hagga versions and other ingredients. So yeah, spice is the bottleneck

>>533229058
For a live service game you'd expect the player pop to go down, but good games tend to retain half their player pop a month in, in this case that'd be ~100k players. Last thread I was looking at the player drop week over week and the first drop from launch was -8% which is very good; if the game had maintained that course over the following weeks until now, it'd have a concurrent player pop today of ~115k with ~600k active players and would be in the range of a well received popular live service game.

However, it did not maintain that. After the first week it immediately dropped off to -20% and it's been declining at that constant rate since. This is in line with most poorly performing live service games which typically see a drop to just 5-15% of their original playerbase within a month. In our case, Dune: Awakening has hit about 25% of its original playerbase. This is in line with poorly received live service titles, it's not the worst out there but it's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum, not the upper end.

>>533229474
The trend for reviews is already pretty bad, with 62% positive in the last month and a 50% positive average for players with >100 hours of playtime. If you filter playtimes, you find that the vast majority of positive reviews have less than 30 hours of playtime and as the time played increases, the player sentiment for the game quickly diminishes. The inflection point seems to be somewhere around 50 hours of playtime.

So the longer you play this game, the more likely you are to dislike it.
Since players with >100 hours are about 50% positive, over the long term we can expect the steam rating to converge towards this value.

Altogether the public data for the game strongly suggests it is underperforming, aside from having a good leadup to launch.

When I go into the deep desert I go looking for prey. It's easier to gank players and steal their shit than it is farming stuff yourself. If you disagree you're probably just bad or a pussy or both.

Pathetic.

>>533258853
>no-build zone on T6 ores or making T6 ores relocate if watersealed
what you need to understand is that Funcom is not coding this game, they do Not know how to
they are using UE5 blueprints, the prefab coding equivalent of buying 3d stor assets, which are basically super-inefficient bricks of generic jeetcode that (very roughly) work with one another

it is why two things break whenever they fix one thing, it is why they will more or less never be able to do very specific and sensible fixes like the ones you've suggested
this entire game is effectively one of those cardobard-styrofoam chinese collapsible skyscrapers made of corncob and garbage - appropriate that their studio is owned by Tencent

>>533256446
>Colliding with the sandworms body during any of its animations will now result in death or vehicle destruction.

Does this affect when the worms are just traversing around? Or just when in attack mode? Like sometimes the terrain swells when a worm passes underneath and sometimes the worm clips through the terrain in those instances.

the only thing this changes is now the big fag zergs will have a dedicated packmule assault-bitch carrying their spare rockets around in the middle of the swarm and small group/solo players will have even less available firepower to oppose them
joel's vision really is incredible

So one guy will carry missiles instead of having missiles to shoot himself? Great analysis

I'm stocking the fuck up on flour sand while it's still worm free.

>>533276618
the funny thing about flour sand is that your compactor doesn't matter for the yield so you better use a shitty one

>>533277930
Thank you, I was not aware of that, there's so much shit like that in the game that feels like it is esoteric system for the sake of being esoteric.

>>533277930
>>533278583
the repair bug is your friend, for now anyways

>>533277930
Bullshit. The area which you compact is always the same but actual amounts differ depending on what you shoot. For example, it's 70-something with a normal T4 and 102 with purple T6

>>533279106
I swear I get 96 or something regardless of my compactor but I'm probably wrong. Still you shouldnt use a good compactor for flour sand repair glitch aside

Do you process titanium in dd or carry it back to haggy waggy? I think the amount of water it requires is insane and getting enough corpses becomes the bottleneck at this point.

>>533279525
I stopped building DD FOB since I got my large ore refinery in my hagga base. I a one trip assault storage back and forth. I grab like 750 titanium ore and 500 stradium ore per trip. I stop at stations and keep bps on my character along crashed ship goods since they weight so little. For spice I gather in Hagga and do 2-3 big assault trips in empty monday DD.

>>533280293
Forgot to say, in Hagga I run the industrial pumps and diamond dust dungeons while grabbing my corpses. Since I do back and forth with that and DD im always home to refill my 3 advance deathstills keeping my 300k water tank always in motion. I make a bunch of plastone stacks along my extra diamond dust/carbine scrap/industrial pump that I sell at the AH. Its pretty efficient for the time investment. For reference I make close to 200 plastanium ingots per DD trip that way.

>>533279525
It fucking sucks either way you do it.
With DD processing you get
>Cheaper half resource cost crafted large water traps or advanced deathstills*
>Likewise cheaper refineries, let's you punch up early on to better refineries when your ass doesn't have enough plast or melange
>Less total volume to haul back
With Hagga processing
>*MUCH easier access to corpses and water
>Water infrastructure is probably already solved and in huge sums
>You don't have to haul out 1k+ duraluminum each week
>but at least double the trips home hauling fucking titanium/strad ore

Having done both, I've started building a good amount of large windtraps in DD, and then running 500v+100ish of plastinium back to Hagga once per day/every other to not go insane come the weekend with hours spent ferrying shit before reset on Monday night.. If you're really lucky in DD, you can find a fremen sealed cave on or near your island with a couple respawning goons to farm for corpses every 20-30min or so

>Increased static compactor threat generation.
>Removed Solari from Plastanium Tier Deep Desert loot pools.
Fucking why

>Colliding with the sandworms body during any of its animations will now result in death or vehicle destruction.
A bit vague. If it's talking about when it's breached from threat then okay, but just moving around?

I'm hoping this means proper 16:10 support

How much money do you think someone can make selling water/corpses in DD?

Funcom saved the game

>Improved the resources distribution on some Jabal content blocks to prevent very large primrose fields from spawning.
Damn, I liked hitting the one south of Helius Gate for some quick water.

>>533282298
I bet you could sell corpses for 10-20k easy at the AH. Dupers are fucking stupid rich so if you'rs the only provider of something make them pay high on a 7 days AH timer

I look forward to the future corpse economy.

>entire server has become 2 Atreides guilds that allied with each other vs everyone else

>>533297841
Actually really good until you get to the end game, at which point you realize that there is no endgame.

But I did really enjoy my first 100 hours in it. Felt very Duney for that much. Now I'm just here to be miserable and because my Captain of Industry world is spiraling out of control and I don't want to go fix it.

>Notes for upcoming Aug 12th patch say nothing about fixing the party system being broken as fuck and routinely not showing party member icons on compass/HUD

>>533297841
Did you read Chapterhouse? What are your thoughts on the 4th wall self insert FH and his wife ending ?

>>533297841
Storywise it's been great. I'm glad they went the alternative timeline route and they actually have sound, lore-fitting reasoning for having this other timeline.

>>533297841
It's a mediocre game start to finish. It feels like it's going somewhere to start with, but none of the game mechanics come together. The game focus is heavily leaning into PVP - PVP players don't want to worry about sandworms or sandstorms or water, heat, or parking thopters/vehicles; so these things don't matter in this game.

The fundamental gameplay is just: look for the next tier of resource you need to progress, mine it, repeat until endgame.
Endgame is join a PVP guild and gank solos 20 vs 1 in deep desert spice fields until you get bored.

You'll find there's nothing to actually do at about aluminum tier and you'll log in to play the game for 15 minutes and then log out.
If you buy the game you will find the first 10-30 hours decent as it's all novel and you think it's going to expand on the mechanics and get somewhere interesting, but it never does.
Performance wise, it's an absolute mess. Constant microstutters even on top end hardware, and defaults like FSR framegen tank the performance even more instead of improving it.

>>533300909
All wrong.

The fundamental gameplay is logging in with your favorite brand of iced chai latte with nujabes or flying lotus on your media player while you spend 8 hours of your day redesigning and remodeling your base to fit some new inspiration. Sweaty faggots obsessed with factorio numbers and spreadsheets are the cancer ruining this game.

I don't think anyone with their head on straight can argue against the fact that this game is a massive failure. Anyone who does so is a fucking idiot just trying to be a contrarian because they think it's funny, but they're probably just as salty themselves and trying to deflect by being said contrarian instead of showing sincerity and just accepting reality.

>>533307895
The source material was written in 1965 in book format. Fremen are one of the most badass and cool folks in the entire Dunelore. Its an hommage and what a modern crew of chink and br has done with the VA in this IP has nothing to do with your problem cited here.

By the same idea its normal that a bunch of short attention span zoomer retards has no interest in the Dune IP on /v/

>>533308275
Its a failed launch for a "mmo" for sure but you'd be an idiot to think this game has no upcoming potential for story and pve contents. The general consensus is hagga = great / DD = bad and the game is still worth the money on launch which many games fail to meet such a simple criteria. Nobody here is defending this game like the Holy Grail of gaming

>>533308275
>I don't think
Agreed, and I clearly don't need to read any further. Stay mad loser.

Someone explain the intro sequence to the time you wake up in game. Is there a time skip? Why are there dessicated corpses in your cave?

Also God damn the movement is still janky UE garbage and the performance is horrible. For a game to look this terrible AND perform so badly on a rtx 30 series when crysis exists and gets 144FPS, it should be a crime.

>>533309294

>>533310017
There's only retards like you that come from /v/ to shit on a game general for something you don't care about. Why would I value your opinion if you don't even respect your own time or show interest in the Dune IP? There's no goalpost being "moved", no, but you should be moving away from here since you're a little bitching fag bringing nothing on the table but your written diarrhea.

Inshallah

So anyway, moving on from the retardation.

Can someone please explain to me what building piece options Harkonnen get that would let them build out of verticle cliff faces the way Atreides get the long inverted ramps that can act as struts extending horizontally outward from the verticle surface, which you can use to make it look like your base has proper supports? Harkonnen only seem to have wedge shapes that are tall and go straight up vertically but none that jut out horizontally.

>The general consensus is hagga = great / DD = bad
This is cope by players who don't actually understand what's wrong with the game and can't articulate problems, only feelings. Like trying to pull punches and say 1 bad thing and 1 good thing because they don't want to be mean.

They reach the deep desert and the game at this point fucking sucks, but they don't understand why,and they were having fun way earlier, so they just attribute all the problems with the deep desert.
But the game's problems start at t-0, when you just start playing and its a stuttery mess. Even before you're introduced to any game mechanics it's stumbling. Then as you progress, every potentially interesting game mechanic you're introduced to has no depth to it. A 5 year old can overcome every challenge the game presents without asking for help.

So if there's no challenge and the game mechanics are shallow, what's there to have fun with otherwise?
Well there's running story quests, and mining rocks to build higher tier gear that lets you kill mooks or mine rocks faster. Amazing and fun gameplay design for sure.
Especially as the story builds up to nothingburgers and is purposefully padded out to waste the players' time and all the resources you gather turn out to be worthless as only the last tier of anything is actually worth using.

Then as you are just coming to terms with how fucking boring the game really is, you're off into the deep desert hoping that something is about to change, and that's when you start seeing the transition bugs deleting your inventory, chinese hackers stealing your thopter, 50 minute timewaster loot drops, 20vs1 thopter "fights", and squeakers on voice chat screaming into their mic while trying to push you into the otherwise entirely avoidable and forgettable worms.

The game already wasn't doing very well by the time you're reaching the deep desert, but the deep desert makes the piddling out PVE content look fucking epic in comparison.

>>533314641
Honestly you're right. The game itself isn't great in any way, what's causing people to have a good time in early game is like 95% vibes. It's a great IP, and they pulled off some great audiovisual design(within the limiting framework of the engine) and "worldbuilding" for lack of a better word, but the actual game is barebones as fuck.

>>533315189
Now that I think about it, that was largely my issue with Age of Conan too. Fantastic world, nothing to fucking do or be challenged by in it.
(I don't mention Exiles because it barely even counts as a game)

>>533314641
The only place you're seeing Chinese hackers is one very specific server with a large Chinese community and Asian servers, and your weird predisposition to always wanting to be under attack by minority children is disturbing.This game is mostly 30+ year olds with jobs. Not jobless solofags with no friends.
>>533315343
AoC launched with quests that would get you to your upper 40's/early 50's then it was purely mob grinding. I played with SA goons and we dominated our server, KoS to all big guilds. I remember GvG forts being duckable to enter if the terrain allowed, you could slaughter dozens of people not expecting to be attacked inside, kicking people off cliffs with horse, low levels could kill max levels on the pre-order rhino. There was at least 2k hours worth of ganking fun at launch, and Tortage twinking if you wanted to gank new players.

I didn't run into any of those problems. I do find it funny that your server has chinese hackers though. I guess the game would suck in your region. Thankfully my server is not in oceania. We had a few hackers (gay black guy and his thai boyfriend lol) but they got banned because they were loud and obnoxious.

FEAR THE WORM

>>533317475
You're posing their relationship like some kind of cucky overlords who won't let them make the game shittier, the movie team worked in UE5 and helped design the visual elements themselves, Legendary Entertainment.

>>533317953
He doesn't even play the game, his proof of Chinese hackers was a redditpost about a Chinese hacker's stolen thopter base.

https://www.reddit.com/r/duneawakening/comments/1lhxp2s/welcome_to_dune_awakening_but_all_your/

Found there.

>>533317652
They're reworking the placement of spice blows and flour sand patches so none will be unreachable by the worms with the PTC patch too, so I'm betting there will be even more over drumsand after that goes live. Maybe even some on quicksand just to really fuck with us.

>>533319015
I just use chinese hacker as a catchall term you actual fucking retard

>uhm aktshully the hackers are norwegian and russian not chinese *pushes up glasses*

shut the fuck up

anon: i was merely pretending to be retarded

also anon: i am constantly being under of the attack by the indos, the jeets, the n words, the mehicanos, the brazilians, and portugaaaaaal, and it's all very young children pushing my shit in aiyeeeeeeee

>I'm having fun and this is not normal !

>>533319015
There's literal videos of hackers grabbing peoples ornithopters out of the air why would you genuinely try to lie about this

>>533317261
This is in my experience the most efficient route

You can keep going east along all the patches of quick sand and then drum sand but I find it to not be worth it because there's rarely anything there and if it is it's on fucking drumsand so it takes 5 times longer to harvest.

Ok, good

Holy fucking shit you need to play the game. I get 500k for a stack of titanium and +1m for 250 melange.

I'm wondering about those changes to the sandworm. They make it sound like if it touches you at all, you die.

I sure hope that's only after he's breached and not just when he happens to cross paths with you randomly.

Can you just make the horizon indicator on thopters NOT sand colored, you motherfucking fucks.

>>533327491
Its 100% if you even get close to him you die

>>533327491
that's what everyone is wondering, the random short breach animation is going to kill people. anons here asked for danger and said the worm was boring though. they're making it less boring.

>>533327491
>>533328693
Good, now remove the UI element for its breach too. I want people to act as spotters for it.

These ships flying around in the starter area, can I get on top of them? I only have the unique belt that lets me conserve momentum while holding space, and my Q which is a dash/knee.
I have been using these in combination to fly around but I dunno if there's a spot high enough to actually land on a ship using it.

>>533329165
You clip through them, they have no collision box

>>533329165
I actually tried, got on top of one by pocketing my 'thopter in midair... and just fell straight through it.

it's a farming day

>>533329574

Is it possible to do pve t6 labs solo?

>>533331374
Yes, but it's a fucking slog and a half.

>50 people on my server

It's fucking over.

>>533177670
I read the Brian/anderson books as a kid so I never got the hate for them. I also read starwars sloppa books so my standards were pretty low.

>>533332409
Even as a kid I understood that the Dragonlance books were awful

>>533203647
I wonder if the harkonnens on lankievel are diseased as the giedi prime ones.

>>533215859
What server?

>>533333226
I was merely playing a prank to make you nervous.

So...how is worm riding coming if touching the worm is instant death next update?

>>533333643
?
obviously worms won't kill you when they do the worm riding animation

you probably won't even interact with one of the actual worms. When you put down the riding thumper, it spawns a unique ridable worm with separate ai and whatever else

>>533143002
Its the most refunded game on steam right now

>>533333643
Are you retarded? Do you think changes to the game are permanent?

>>533331438
Is there a best weapon to use in the enemy arena ?

Is there a 4chan guild?

>>533334621
There isn't /A/ best weapon, but there are several that outperform others of their class. What weapon types do you like to use?

Chusukgang

>>533335325
there was, but it was also locked and caused people to go to other servers since sietch transfers weren't available yet, and it fell apart.

rest of the thread are /v/ shitposters that don't have the game installed, a few lorefags, and people that quit a month ago and want validation for their decision. all disgruntled solofags.

>>533334621
I personally found melee the easiest way to get rid of most enemies.

The biggest challenges in soloing the arenas is when you get to the 4th or 5th wave and you get a 'clump' of of melee rushers or heavies with machinegunes.

It helps (but is duraluminium-expensive) to have a missile launcher for those times and/or the trooper grenade skill. Always worth it to buy the ancient way BP or even the stock regis missile launcher if your faction wins landsraad weapon vendor

Drillshot is also a good way to whittle down the enemy 'clump'

You need mobility and some knowledge of the arena, using verticality and breaking LoS etc. to soft crowd control the enemy

>>533328693
>anons here asked for danger and said the worm was boring though
No, anons here asked for interactive worms. I don't know why you would so blatantly misrepresent and lie what people ask for. Making worms the exact same but they kill you in even buggier ways than before is not improving anything.

Anons have asked for things like:
>no timers for worms
>worms travel around the map and you have to watch for them
>worm density is low enough that you can scoot around on foot or by vehicle if you properly scout ahead

These are things that would make playing around worms more interesting, not strictly more dangerous.

To completely misunderstand the intent has to either be staggering idiocy or malicious on your part.

>>533334123
It's a safe assumption to make actually. I can't count the number of times some dev adds some "temporary" feature that becomes defacto permanent and then later on people even point to it's existence 5 years prior as proof the game was always intended to have the "feature" and it was never meant to be temporary.

It's a song and dance I see with basically every game that lasts more than a couple years. People get used to "features" and "the way it works" and that just becomes how it will always be, even if its retarded and doesn't make sense anymore.

>>533335867
There needs to be AI voice porn of Heldabor Deseo screaming 'Yes' like she does when talking to her as a Chusukkan.

>>533332409
They're recognizably a low effort cash in; just there to make money off the name. It's not that nobody asked for more dune novels, but people want more dune novels to be as compelling as the originals and Brian/Anderson did not do that. They shat out stereotypical young adult scifislop with characters and stories that go nowhere, say nothing, and mean nothing.

I grew up reading dragonlance etc. sloppa, it's definitely not something I hate, but it just feels wrong for dune to be treated like forgotten realms or 40k or dragonlance or whatever videogame tie-in novels.

>>533336836
That one Mentat gravity mine that roots enemies to the spot and also drains their shields is fantastic against those melee groups. They just stand there and don't pull out their weapons.

Man, Harkonnen look really cool. Kinda reminds me of like, ghost in the shell spec ops soldiers or something. Or those spec op soldiers from season 2 of Altered Carbon. The multi-faceted lens goggles is a sick ass design.

I haven't played in a week. I know I had enough power but I think I was supposed to pay my taxes 2-3 days ago. is my base fucked or not?

>>533343209
No. If you have money in your bank you're fine. Even then it takes a while for a base to even decay unshielded

>>533343209
they give you a two week grace period if you can't pay or forget to pay right away.

>>533343604
I have no money in the bank. I thought you had some time more after due date to pay. I don't really care too much. was going to start a harko character but they fucked off family sharing

>>533343729
thanks, now I just need to find out when family sharing comes back

>>533343882
>family sharing
DESU seems like it's gonna be gone longer then that, doomers throwing around 5 months in the steam discussion threads.

May wanna buy a copy, move your shit to a tax haven / or bank, then refund before that

>>533346068
That's not a bad idea, the family share hours will likely exceed the 2 hour refund time but Steam tends to be pretty generous with refunds if you explain the situation.

>>533329574
How do you get nice wing effects withoutout motion blur?

Holy shit, mentat is fucking busted. The mines are so much better than trooper grenades. Really the only good trooper skill is the shigawire. Every mentat skill is great, even the stunner is like a better compel. Most of the time I can drop a gravity mine and deploy your turret, then just walk away and listen to my enemies die one by one as I loot chests.

Also, forgot to mention that mentat capstone skill that gives you infinite energy and shields when you activate it is probably the best skill in the game because you can just endlessly lasgun anything and never run out. It's actually insane.

>>533365341
nerfed kek

>>533365864
I dont even follow that stuff. I'm talking about right now. Try it. I'm not exaggerating. If they nerfed it, then I can't even imagine how stupidly overpowered it used to be. It's still stupidly overpowered.

How is it in pvp?

This game doesn't have pvp. Unless you mean scout ornithopter missile spam? Lmao.

Throw it on the auction house after you have allt he stuff you need in basin.

Dead game, dead thread

dead social life, dead posting habits

Dead sex life, dead sperm cells

Yeah I fear this game will die quickly. While the upcoming patch is massive it still doesn't address the main fucking problem. There's nothing to do in the endgame.

Hello retards, people want more content in this game which as stated by the dev will happen in late-Fall / early winter. Just put your base on life support and go do something else till then if you've done everything you wanted, its that simple. For omega 4chan perma-leech retards like this doomer troglodyte sandcake, let me tell you that a game not having a general doesn't mean its dead or stop existing. Thank you for having a minimum of intelligence and make good use of the rest of this summet.

Damn bro DD is getting easier to farm by the day its amazing ! So what are you doing today with all the infinite possibilities of your existence?

>https://duneawakening.com/news/upcoming-change-to-pentashield-only-bases/
NO FUN ALLOWED
But seriously this is a good change, those blue boxes are an eyesore.

>>533279525
We set up in DD and get 1m water
When that is used up we usually distribute the raw resource to be taken back to Hagga (and kept by the processor)
We do this as payout a lot of the time as it exports the water costs and transport times to the payee instead of the administrator guild members

>>533355612
>>533360382
Its the layout of the large shipwrecks
It assumes you enter from the front, what you should be doing is landing on top and going through the silos to land right on top of the ID band door while not alerting enemies

>>533381894
Turn off all your stations so that your power usage is as close to zero as you can get
Since you need to power a shield, I suggest leaving 1 power generator, higher tier allows for more time, I like the Industrial Lube generators, those lubes are also getting cheaper next patch.
You can buy a bunch, throw them in a chest next to your console, log in once a month and refill and wait until the game is in a better way

>>533390125
It won't take that long to farm back up as long as you have a thopter , your mining tools, and high levels.

>>533390125
Yeah large wind generator last for like 31 days when full. If you have money in the bank its as simple as logging once a month to maintain your base. I don't get people crying about maintenance.

>>533391117
You need to pay taxes too, If you don't for like 3 weeks, your base shuts down too.

>>533391592
>If you have money in the bank...
they take taxes directly from the bank once its due

>>533391747
You telling me I went to that dipshit every 2 weeks for nothing?

>>533391818
Ye

>>533391940
Where are the dev offices?

I just want to talk to them.

They're not coming back are they?

>>533392312
I'm an alright guy, I wont be going to funcom tomorrow

>>533392726
If your base ain't powered for a few days it should be lootable for everyone.

Right now it's all rotten away before the fief console dies so all that gear is just gone. Why would you design it like this?

>>533392956
i'd imagine most people don't plan their design around inevitably leaving inheritance crumbs in a tencent survivalslop

>>533392956
>>533394817

people should place their fief consoles on the roof of the buildings.

fight the system

>>533400846
There's a better way to fight the system. Just stop playing until they fix their retardo mistakes

>>533401067
but then my base will power off and everyone won't be able to loot my shit

>>533401193
Moot point. Soon nobody will be left to loot your base. At least half the sietches on my server are already completely empty.

>>533401325
The game being dead is actually better I've farmed 20k titanium ore the past few days which was completely impossible a few weeks ago because of constant griefers

>>533338549

I don't think keeping this bug secret is worth it, better to just let people have fun while funcom employees are on holidays

>>533406307
The ending is already there at the end of Chapterhouse. When FH self insert himself with his wife in a super futuristic setup (in Dune universe) looking back the archives of the Dune story that's the proof that humanity achieved the Golden Path (and live on forever beyond humanity's prophetic destruction). Its a hard grasp with a love or hate it twist approach but it all make sens once you put it together.

The poor man's thumper has been known for weeks.

>>533408589
A thumper replacement is one thing, but this makes sandworms attack a single point over and over, rendering them harmless for many hours, which couldn't be achieved if they ate every building as they should.
Sorry to disappoint if this was already known, but then not fixing a bug allowing to run solo crawlers and build on open sand for weeks sounds too negligent even for funcom in my opinion

What’s the new dupe exploit ? I need it now

>>533143002
I don't even venture into DD. You can literally just buy spice off the market.

Why is spice melange 2x the price of plastinium ingots

>>533414330
See
>>533414273

People rather buy it than farm it, which hikes up the price.

>>533391747
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

>>533414524
Same goes for plast.

I'd argue it's harder getting enough titanium and stravidium than spice since you can just farm small patches by sietch hopping in Haga.

We need a beeper that lets us know when titanium nodes are respawned

>>533413548
engine limitations son

>>533418020
But it's unreal 5 wtf

>>533418761
I believe Unreal 5 is one of the best engines around and a truly talented dev team can make it run beautifully, both in performance and in quality.

funcom, unfortunately, does not rank among the echelons of talented dev teams. I wouldn't even call them average or middling.

They are shit and, in their hands, U5 is worse than shit.

>>533419260
I see you complaining everyday about it. I think you should send them your CV at this point. Maybe you'll enter their breeding program too.

>>533417894
That doesn't make any sense. Each node has its own timer.

Can I just build a base on top of one of those spires and then have endlessly respawning ore nodes in my base? Wish we could set up an automatic drill/quarry system

>>533419260
No, if they can't even put together proper netcode with UE5 holding their hands there is no way they would have been able to make this game without UE5.
That's one of the reasons the entire industry is adopting unreal engine now - they want to hire retards who need a fisher price engine to fit the pieces together for them.

>>533421427
There's absolutely no reason to work for a company as badly mismanaged and full of idiots as funcom is. The glassdoor reviews are abysmal. Anyone with actual talent would be underpaid and mistreated, you can tell this simply on account of the lack of intelligence and capability in the dev team. They are the dregs of people who don't have anywhere better to go. They're bottom dollar hires who can't even put a fisher price game together properly even when the unreal engine team has done their best to make it as simple and easy for retards as they can.

Is a large ore refinery worth it in deep desert

>>533427693
If you do a spice merchant thing, maybe. Offer to exchange people's spice sand for a little less melange than you'd get for it with your large refinery, they'd still make out with more melange than they'd normally get with a medium or small refinery and you'd turn a profit.

At what point do I even get close to DD? I just built my first assault thopter yesterday.

>>533427693
Yeah if you want to work the water for it on top.

>>533427408
I'm not disagreeing with you between about the whole UE5/funcom thing. I just think the game is still fun enough and just need more contents. DD wouldn't be so terrible if we had 2-3 other zones/biomes outside Hagga to go mess with. I think the biggest mistake funcom did is advertising it as a Live Service and MMO first and foremost.

I don't understand people complaining about this game being "dead".

Good.

It's more enjoyable without fucking autistic nigger faggots ruining my PvE solo experience. Go fuck yourself.

I never thought I would ever consider norwegians to be spiritual jeets and yet here we are. This game is so poorly put together it's like a bunch of jeets made it.

>>533470351
the shield pushes away any matter than travels too fast and you can tune it to stop however fast or slow that you want

since people need to breathe air and grab things, the shields aren't typically designed to fully stop everything, this is what allows for someone to stab through a shield, but it has to be done in such a way that your contact with the shield is slow so it passes through it.

movies and game depict going through the shield as if your knife or something is meeting resistance and the shield goes red and you have to push really hard to get through but that is the complete opposite of how they work in the books. When you are going through the shield with a proper strike, you don't meet any resistance at all - thats the whole point. Your knife or spear or whatever goes through the shield smoothly because it's not moving fast enough to trigger the shield, there is no red glow, there is no resistance.

I can't imagine how fucking annoying it's going to get with 30% more compactor aggro.

>>533472835
So what happens if you stick your arm inside a shield then do a 1 inch punch(assuming you're some kind of prana-bindu martial arts savant) inside it? Does the shield cut your arm off?

>>533473891
once you're past the shield you can do whatever

Waited 15 minutes for this npc to blow up the console of this abandoned base so I could get the 2k cobalt, 6 vertical stakes, 300 plast, and 500 melange inside.
Looting abandoned Hagga bases might be the real end game.

update: good loots

welp, guess I'm abandoned base spelunking after the office

you guys better not target my bases in noob land T_T

>>533485686
Are your bases powered down? If not, they're not.

I want to move my entire base a few extra blocks upwards now that I have a biger area, any way to do it without deleting the entire thing and risking losing my shit?

>>533486521
I dont even know how to properly answer this question because its so retarded.

>>533486521
Strange way to ask your question. I have moved bases in several ways depending on distance and amount of stuff.

If it's really just a couple of blocks, you need to ensure all your stuff is within bounds for the new fief, then dismantle the console and place a new one. Might have some issues with building that should auto resolve on the next server restart because Fuckcom can't code for shit.

>>533486695
>>533486695

>>533487040
Log in while no one is on, abandon base, set a new sub-fief console higher up. Anything inside the claim area will be yours again. Once it's abandoned anyone can access any chests and shit though so be fast.

>>533487040
>>533486916
Still applies, just extend your original fief to the point where at least some overlap exists, move all your boxes there, dismantle and rebuild console at the new spot.

If it's actually too far away to make this method feasible, just set up both fiefs and use a buggy to move shit.

I don't understand your question.

i wonder how many people accidentally clicked this and lost their thopter.

>>533488585

>>533476219
How are you getting them to come to the fief? They just keep running away after a certain distance.

>>533476219
this is an excellent idea. you have done all of us a great service.

>>533492835
They have to fairly close to a base and use the BG ability "command" to pull em

Optimizing and polishing is such hard work anon. Wouldn't you want another 2 janky auto generated POI's instead?

>>533500697
That big rock to the left has a cliff face going further down, further to the left. Sure they could make a rock with only one face, but if they already have premade rock models they just slap together to make mountains, that's a whole lot easier than handcrafting every rock.

>>533500697
I fell through the world twice, both times I explored and bit and the amount of shit down there is insane. Like full maps of mountains all with proper collision.

Ive watched DUNC part I and II yesterday I like them a lot

>>533479742
Who even cares about flour sand? Why are people stocking up like it's fucking toilet paper during covid?

It's just for fuel cells and some buildings you'll need to build only once. Why so goddamn obsessed?

>>533486521
Destroy the fief console and reposition it in your base.

As long as no one puts down their own fief console in that very brief window, this is perfectly safe.

>>533507938
It's just about the convenience. It's going to be even more annoying doing it after the change, and people want to avoid annoyance.

>>533507938
>>533508057
Also it's about the tendency the devs have where they keep pushing out changes that nobody asked for, that only increases the tedium and inconvenience and does nothing for the immersion.

>>533500697
For the sandworms maybe?

>>533493780
>BG ability "command"
Time to respec I guess.

Actually I should probably find an unpowered base that looks like it has potential first.

>>533493785
You must learn to vacation from the game like the developers

I will fly back from DD one(hitotsu) time this period
This is the best experience Dune has provided in 200hr

I just reorganized my inventory and I apparantly have 3 full stacks of spice melange.

I kinda feel like not continuing the grind now.

I'm making so much plastanium at my DD base I've never been so rich

>>533515868
What are you going to buy with it lmao

>>533517212
Spice

>>533517335
The most valuable substqnce in the universe is actually quite worthless in this game.

I don't think they've done enough to encourage group play in the first 100 hours of the game. Everyone's just used to doing everything alone in Basin that it's just bred a solo mentality and it persist into the DD.

And then they all start bitching of course that they get killed when they try and mine a large spice bloom.

>>533519303
There should be more spice in pve regions

>>533519528
If you mean the DD, I agree. Hell it's actually still kinda PvP since you have to race to the spice bloom and get it before anyone else. You just can't shoot them.

It would give PvE players a reason to build a crawler at least.

>>533519528
Spice is plentiful. Just grind empty sietches in Haga basin.

>>533517773
It's the most valuable substance in the universe once you get it OFF Arrakis. And you're going to have trouble doing that because the Spacing Guild controls all traffic in and out.

>doing small spice blows in Hagga

Are worms sometimes just not visible to other players or something?

>>533521685
Don't mind these doomer retards, they have 0 clue about how the Dune universe/story work and are just here almost inclusively for their little vidya time

>>533522125
I wouldn't be surprised with this shit tier netcode.

>>533523515
Perhaps the game should have done a better job building the world then.

>>533500697
It's because their "artists" are dropping entirely premade assets into the game world. Literally no different from children playing with elder scrolls' construction set. I wouldn't be surprised if you can literally buy all the rocks used in DA from some asset store for $50. This is fast and easy and works ok but it means the game world isn't being custom made by actual artists, it's being hodgepodged together by kids with a lego set.

It shouldn't have a huge impact on performance thanks to culling (still worse than a properly made map), but you never know what kind of weird bugs and shit might be happening because of it, it's not given, especially with this studio, that anything they're doing is being done right. Actually I would err towards them not doing their due diligence, they sure as hell haven't done it anywhere else in this trainwreck.

>>533526709

What's wrong with the world building?

>>533526089
>why does the game dont spoonfeed me everything for my illiterate dumbass
You're an idiot, if there's one thing that DA does excellently well is being faithful to the Dune IP regardless of what you think of the gameplay. Arrakis feed the whole universe with Spice so of course its gonna be super abundant over there you idiot, its the same for the books or the movies. Maybe you should grow a brain and read the little notices from the seed oil foods you keep ingurgitating.

why are dune lorefags so insufferable

>>533526943
>5 hours of movie for a book feel completely rush.
No it doesn't. The Dune story is so vast on many levels that its normal that they had to decide what to focus on. Like how the Denis movies omit Paul having his first son killed by Harkonnen. Its interesting but its understandably not that necessary to move the movie plot forward since its all gonna be about leto II and his sister anyway

Why the fuck would you play this game if you don't like Dune?

>>533523515
>are just here almost inclusively for their little vidya time
Imagine people talking about games on /v/.

Go back to your dead dune threads on /lit/ where you belong.

>>533527685
Because you're just a faggot zoomer gamer with no brain or interest beyond cooming and dooming so ligma lore dumbdouble dore

>>533527192
In the context of the complaint, the world funcom built in no way respects spice as 'the most valuable substance in the universe', and most players are finding that plastanium is actually 'the most valuable substance in the universe'.

Overall the world design and setting really doesn't mesh with the game mechanics. The two are at odds with and fighting each other and the priority of spice in the universe simply isn't taken seriously by the game's mechanics. It lacks gravitas and versimilitude - the game mechanics look and feel like arbitrary game mechanics, not something that actually fits.

>>533527267
He's not an idiot, you are.

>>533527820
Why would you say it doesn't feel rushed and then immediately contradict yourself and say that they can't put everything into the movie; e.g. it's rushed

A lot of the things the movies lack are important for context and setup, which is why the movies feel rushed.

>>533527970
false equivalence, nobody here said they don't like dune

>>533527267
You've been out in the sun too long. You're simuitaneously complaining that people don't know enough about muh Dune lore but at the same time defending the devs for not "spoonfeeding" lore.

Absolute retard.

>>533528216
>the world funcom built in no way respects spice as 'the most valuable substance in the universe'
Spice is abundant on arrakis, as the other anon said. It's so abundant people put it in all their food and consume it all the damn time. The spacing guild, which has a complete monopoly on space travel, control who leaves the planet and when they leave the planet.

>>533528560
If you're not a lorefag you don't like dune, simple as

seeing posts like this genuinely convinces me a few of the funcom devs post here and try to defend the garbage they've worked on the past 6 years

I mean, I can understand, but if you had put a tenth this much effort into making your game good, you wouldn't be defending it on an anime shitposting forum against criticism from people a standard deviation smarter than you

>>533528998
Shouldn't have included a gear treadmill in your game to begin with. Bad design right from the start. Reeks of gachaslop and greedy execs making decisions rather than people who want to make a fun game to play.

>>533529093
They do lurk here, and in other popular places. They pick fights about the most mundane shit, just like they pick the most idiotic things to tweak in their game, like the fucking flour sand that had a patch the worm couldn't reach. Somehow that's more important than phantom spice blooms or people dying or losing vehicles to glitches.

I've gotten over 1000 spice melange and over 10k spice sand since breaking consoles in hagga. Plus a bunch of plastanium

>>533528998
You don't have to keep coming to these threads you know. Reddit is down the hall, you can immerse yourself in a thousand drooling retards praising how great the game is and downvote anyone who suggests there's serious problems. That seems more fitting to the environment you want, so why not go there?

This place is for arguing and contrarianism and forcing you to actually hold your ground and make a case for what you believe in.

So I have a large spice and ore refinery, a couple thousands melange and plast in the bank. Full T6 gear. I'm ready for the endgame. Where is it, Funcom?

>>533529093
I'm defending the Dune IP and the respect its given while vidya shitters like you just waste your spit on shit you know nothing about thinking you're big brain. Who's defending everything gameplay related here ? Nobody. But who overshot their wads complaining about stuff that the lore itself answers? Brown zoomettes like you. Go back to TikTok and make sure to provide them your gov ID lol

>>533529643
How far can you lure the NPC's, realistically?

I found some good powered down bases with large refineries and advanced death stills, but the fief console is like, on the 10th floor.

>>533529394
I actually thought the flour sand being easier to farm was an intentional design choice meant to acclimate players to eventually having to mine the more dangerous spice sand.

How wrong I was. It seems that was just entirely by accident and not a well executed method of teaching the player the game mechanics. It's kind of absurd that when this company gets something right, they actually do it accidentally and quickly bugfix their successes out of the game.

>nooo you cant talk dune lore in a dune game thread

>>533529862
If you activate prescience and have maxed the cooldown reduction talent for compel, by the time it ends the cooldown has like 2 seconds left, so you can go pretty far but eventually they start to run away and stop attacking once it ends.

If you can get them inside the base before they do this, use your thopter to block the entrance and the AI can sort of break and just stand still. When you're next to the console and have it blocked so the npc is stuck in that room, just attack the npc with the scrap metal knife and it should attack you eventually, then stand with the console between you. It won't always work but it is possible, I just did it this way.

>>533529775
Well the complaint is that this game doesn't convey to the player just how important spice is, and that is a complaint I thoroughly agree with.

We know in the high minded intellectual sense that spice is valuable in this setting, but not in the visceral, I am dealing with spice first hand and seeing what it's like, sense. This is where the game is failing and where it should be succeeding, as it's the inflection point between the purely imagined setting and the experience of that imagined setting.

The game experience around spice is that it's just another resource that could have any name and isn't that important. The game mechanics do not make a big deal about getting spice - every dipshit with a sand compactor and a mining laser can get spice. It's not like anything stops them - certainly not worms for example.

And you're not introduced to any kind of highly efficient, high volume spice mining by an organization that spans the known universe. Like - why are we never fighting over/protecting those giant spice harvesters from the movies? This game followed the movie designs so well and then just flubbed this completely. Why not PVP between 2 teams to defend a spice harvester or take control/steal it? Winner gets the spice. That would have been cool, and given some meaning to the PVP, but then I guess it would've gone against the trash "RUST but DOON" design that the lead clearly wanted over doing something that actually fit this game and setting.

>>533530719
Thanks, I'll try it out.

>>533530913
The biggest interest in Spice for the universe is that its fuel for long space travel/exploration being manage by the space guild. You know something we don't do while on foot on Arrakis. All the other properties are second to that notion. Maybe JUST MAYBE consider there's 6 books you can read on the subject, 3 movies, 1 tv series and hundreds of youtube videos unwrapping the lore instead of getting babysit by your vidya where you probably skipped most of the dialog anyway

>>533530719
Does the Fief console drop scrap when it is destroyed?

If so, even if you can't get the NPC to fire at the fief (because it's boxed in somewhere), you could destroy high value buildings and loot the components.

>>533531561
It does drop the metal, yeah. You can definitely get it to destroy storage or refineries

>>533531463
Seems to me you're conceding what I'm arguing because you're not even trying to engage with what I've said.

The lore in the movies and the books don't matter when it comes to making spice feel important to the player in the game. That's the whole point of the game. It's one thing to know that Arrakis would have beautiful red sunsets in its dusty hazy almost cloudless sky, and it's another to actually get to see that in the game.

And again to reiterate because you keep dancing around this criticism: The game might recreate the feeling of actually being on Arrakis and watching the sun set from the top of a bone dry mesa overlooking a sea of sand, but it does not do a good job of recreating the feeling that spice is the single most valuable commodity/drug in the universe. That is simply taken for granted, not conveyed by the game.

With plastanium being technically harder to acquire than spice - mining 2 contested resources and refining them with masses of water, rather than just mining 1 - the game actually tells the player via time/effort, as well as subsequent market prices - that plastanium is the most expensive and valuable thing in the universe, not spice. Hence why I suggested something like defending/attacking a giant spice harvester as a gameplay mechanic - something to help convey to the player in a way they can really feel it, that this spice stuff is a Big Deal.

>>533532532
I don't think arguing with him is going to get you anywhere.

I started only a month after launch so I'm behind the curve but now that I'm reaching "endgame" I can see why this playercount is tanking. Labs and wrecks in PvPland are awful with the '5 enemy waves' rooms and the final chest is looted by logoff fags 90% of the time anyway. Spice operations are pointless, and almost never leads to fun pvp. Either bully others away or get bullied out by a bigger group. Titanium island is just people ganking PvEfags.

What a big pile of shit.

>>533532532
Again, spice is not a rarity for anybody living on Arrakis. In game its still demanded for making spice food and t6 parts which is the highest value this game offers mechanically. Plastinum is just a material made for farming and extend the gameplay loot. The whole war for it fells into the hands of players battling for it (The Visionnnn). Fremen dont give a shit about what the rest of the universe do with spice since they only consume it to trip and extend their life span. So to answer your question; how can the game show the importance of spice to the universe when we're stuck on its planet in abundance with it? In gameplay fashion I can only think if we start going to other planets and need tons of it to travel. But for lore its already there and its explicitly stated in the first minutes of any Dune adaption.

I can't even tiptoe on drumsand? There was spice in it but the moment I fly over the worm instantly comes out and starts chasing.
Am I also not supposed to use the leap suspensors or whatever? it's too risky to walk

>>533534162
If you don't have a thopter, don't even try to gather spice on drumsand.

It really is just

>>533534162
You can use maxed dindu sprint with suspensors to blast across sand areas faster than you'll trigger worms/they can catch you, but suspensors use holtzman fields which make worms angery.

Dumbass devs increasing the volume of rockets as if that's the fucking problem rather than scouts being able to use rockets in the first place.

3 vertical and 6 horizontal stakes have been sitting in my old base...forever looking for the perfect spot for new base, that i will surely build, with the two med storage crates of plastone i farmed...some day....

I never used the base transfer tool. How does it work? Does it teleport your existing stuff to new location or do you have to manually move/rebuild them all and it just shits out a blueprint?

>>533538665
just the bp

>>533538665
No it just copies a blueprint, you need to build that shit all over again.

Absolute ass considering Once Human just lets you pick your entire house/town up and plonk it anywhere every 10 minutes. The worst part is they expect people to do this shit every fucking week two like there isn't 10 million other games they could be playing and having fun with instead.

>>533538665
But you might wanna wait a bit since the next update the solido replicator will also include all refineries/storages/decorations placement too. For now its just the raw building layout itself

>>533534642
Its easier to compact a lot first, fly up and down then gather and compact simultaneously for your next fly up. Obv having better compactor and softboot helps tremendously

The rocks are megascans so pretty sure they're free with unreal engine. Means every rock in there came from a real mountain, boulder, or cliffside in real life.

What.ini files can I fuck with for better performance?
This runs worse than Conan and yet looks worse than crysis

I grow weary of reapplying swatches every time I swap out my thruster/storage bros...

>>533555543
just ask chatgpt

I messed around a lot and while I manged to reduce stutters almost completely, one of their following updates fucked everything and I was back to stuttering constantly again after.
I think the most likely cause of stuttering is from asset loading (mostly player bases and labs), but even when I set the .ini to keep all textures loaded in VRAM it would stutter so idk. The game is also largely GPU bound so offloading stuff to the CPU might help (for example, test with software render for lumen vs hardware render). Also make sure you turn FSR framegen off, that's a free 20ms frametime reduction and they have it set on by default which is crazy. In general there's just not much you can actually do to make the game run better. Even all lowest settings run almost the same as all highest settings, and their laptop mode doesn't even disable common sense things like volumetric fog.

It's crazy playing this game and getting 40fps with 22GB of ram used and 10GB of VRAM used and maxed DLSS upscaling from 25% resolution, and then I swap over to warframe and my performance is >144fps (max refresh rate on my monitor) at 1440p, all graphics settings maxed, 1GB of VRAM used and ~5ms frametime. It's crazy. The only thing unreal engine has over warframe's engine is lumen, and while that's a 20-30fps hit. I'd probably still be running warframe at 144fps because I'm actually capping my framerate there.

All that with 30x more enemies and effects on screen at once. Even warframe's open world environments are still 2-3km across. Dune just feels totally jeet coded, if this was actually made by norwegians it doesn't look or feel like it was outside the general aesthetic. Pretty much everything technical is badly done.

>>533561025
It must have to do with loading assets because the performance between the mostly empty DD vs Hagga full of player+PvE bases is like night and day

>>533561025
>>533561818
I had a 6600k from 2016 with a 4070 Ti and got like 40 fps on medium-high settings. Upgrade to a 9800x3d and on high-max settings I get like 100 fps dipping to 60. If you have a very old CPU that's definitely going to be a bottleneck.

>>533562227
>not running it on ultra with the superior kinoplex cinematic 30 fps capped
NGMI

If I had to guess, tweak any setting related to lighting to the lowest. Those are a known problem, even if they're inside bases and you can't see them it has a huge impact which is why they limited you so heavily on lighting items.

Whoever owned this Harkonnen shitbox somehow had all generators stocked fully but I guess he forgot to fuel a single one because he was just slightly out of power and the entire base shut down allowing me to kill the fief with NPCs and place my own.

>>533565958
Why did you do it? I don't think the dude deserves to lose everything because of the game's shit code. Why can't we just auto dump to all generators equally? Why isn't there a centralized fuel cell storage that supplies to all generators?

In case anyone's wondering what looting a decaying base can get you.

There was a lot more like plastone and boxes full of loot from mobs, but I left that behind or threw all that shit in the recycler for easier transport.

There were no vehicles in there, so I'm pretty sure he left the game but didn't properly set up his base for it. The outside walls were already decayed 50%.

>>533568580
There is... press and hold Y on the sub-fief console screen

>>533568580
There is. Its the fief console and you hold "Y"

>>533553561
I agree, though they should still have culled the unnecessary polygons below ground, it would've meant making a unique alternative of each one of those mountains and they just slapped it all together to get it to work. It also wouldn't work with the randomized nature of the DD.

Ah the burgeoning technical debt of any new UE game. Love to see it
The devs are spending precious time on reducing QoL instead of fixing critical performance issues...

I only want two things from this game at the moment, more decor/building options in different styles and more PVE regions filled with quests like Hagga Basin. The quests should be at least mid grade (like the faction quests) but some generic filler ones are fine along the way.

I love the spitdart

>>533568580
he did it because this game is designed to cater to ESL's like him, this is how the 3rd world behaves

thank you for sharing this information
I think I can at least confirm, having mostly the same issues you described, and trying similar things, that it has to be from the game trying to load in assets. It's especially bad near the trade posts or the shield wall where all the player bases are. But it's also really bad when you get close to the NPC camps and testing stations. The only time it's actually smooth is autopiloting across the DD or when I'm deep underground inside a testing lab and it only has to load that area for me. Of course, the second I leave the lab, bam there's the frame drops again. Sometimes I even see that harddrive icon on the top next to my ping, turning yellow or red for a moment whenever it happens.

My fps drops to liek 10fps inside one of those PVP ships when I was in there with my squad
outside the ship, fps is noraml 60fps
If I go inside the ship alone, no fps drop

why cant we rename chests
i cant remember where everything is
there are no signs or labels you can place too???

>>533579217
Just separate different types of storage and use quick deposit

what do these buttons mean?

>>533579982
If you have a production machine set to Circuit 1 on the left and Circuit 2 on the right like it is in the picture, it will take raw materials from any storage set to Circuit 1 and output finished products to any storage set to Circuit 2.

>>533580394
>>533579982
As it is, that storage container in the picture will accept output from any machine that outputs to Circuit 1, and provide raw materials to any machine that inputs from Circuit 2.

>>533580541
game really needs a way to rename circuits
its trying to ape Factorio and yet failing at the most basic, crucial aspects of it
I am not going to remember that Circuit 7 was the Generator storage for fuel cells and not circuit 8 or whatever

>>533580893
Yeah, it's kludgy as fuck.
Renaming storage and vehicles is coming(apparently, according to the devs, but fuck knows when), but I wouldn't put it past them to completely ignore renaming circuits.

>>533579982
They should really put an 'Input' annd 'Output' label there.
And renaming teh Ciircuiuts shouuldl be possible.
Shit, this game is so rushed and half finished once you scratch the surface, I wish funcom was competent.

>>533579982
Think of them as seperate networks. Everything on circuit 1 can send and receive objects from anything else also on the same circuit. The left one is the input circuit (network) and the right one is the output circuit (network) you want the container to pull from or send overflow to, respectively.

>>533584103
For example, you could have one or more special containers that you designate to be recepticles for nothing but finished ingots, and one or more special containers that you designate to be the sources of nothing but raw ores you deposit into them. Then you configure your refinery to receive (left input) from the containers with only raw ores, and configure the refinery to send ingots to the right output circuit, which is set to the containers you want to use as recepticles for ingots only.

I hope that clarifies it for you.

Are pincushion pants and shoes any good?

>>533584878
Yes but for shoes you typically want some softstep ones unless you're really only going into pvp hard. And Ix leggings are considered a bit better than pincushion because of the stamina advantage.

>>533584973
I have soft step but only use them when I get spice

The fucking things I had to do to get an NPC here and actually shoot the fucking console.

>>533585192
Does that work? Do NPCs hurt consoles?

Do NPCs not leash?

>>533586246
The power needs to be off but yes NPCs hurt consoles. Very slowly.

By using compel on spice you can pretty much get them wherever you want if they don't bug out. The problem is you often need to push them over a ridge or something to get to a console.

Did they nerf buggies so you cant run-over mobs anymore? I did it like three times and didn't kill anybody.

Why are prices dropping now

Are you able to trade for housing blueprints?

Are there any public places where I can craft instead of having to set up my own base

>>533590939
Yes
>>533592470
No

>>533589835
Yes, all vehicles deal 0 damage now

>>533507938
They're retards, that's why. They probably don't even know that the compactor they used to first harvest flour was dogshit in comparison to the mk4/5/6 they now have + planetology skills

>>533584878
Arguably pin set + softstep boots is the best set in the game, because it gives the most stamina and most resistances without going into heavy armor. That being said heavy + 2 light pieces gives more protection and 6 instead of 7 dashes, pretty much doing the same thing for 1/10000 the effort.

>>533597070
>That being said heavy + 2 light pieces gives more protection and 6 instead of 7 dashes, pretty much doing the same thing for 1/10000 the effort.
I thought I was the only person smart enough to realize this and was waiting for someone to say it while everyone keeps arguing about light vs heavy armor and ranged vs melee. Good job anon.

Also, on the quasi-related topic of ranged vs melee, desu ranged is generally better, even with the nerfs to the shield burst, but you can dip into melee just enough for it to be useful for taking out NPCs if you don't PvP a lot and still be primarily ranged. Dunno why people think you have to be completely one way or the other.

Does underslung agility apply to missile launcher

>>533601304
yes

Why are all the shopkeepers niggers in this high tech super structure

>>533585192
Where are you finding these bases?

guys
dune asmr
wind, sand and pebbles with swaying small plants in the distance and the occassional wurm click clack don hold back

Someone buy my 500 plat

how do i make money

>>533616912
Find buried treasure in the Deep Desert with a scout ornithopter scanner and a static compacter. Sell the tier-6 items you find. I made over 1 million Solari doing that.

Don't tell anybody else though, you'll flood the market.

>>533604743
Just fly around. Just about everyone has a pentashield to get their vehicles out easily. If I can't see one, I fly in for a closer look and if they have one but it's down then the power's out.

>>533620286
why do people use penta shields anyway
arent doors doing the same thing?

>>533620527
Good luck getting your assault out via any door. Even your scout won't fit I think.

>>533620527
>>533620589
Actually I just tested. A scout fits but it's not pretty. You get stuck and need to fiddle about a lot.

>this game will literally be dead before the devs come back from vacation
lol
lmao even

>>533627587
What the fuck were they thinking taking their vacation right after launch?

>>533630101
Implying they were thinking

>>533627587
Population is just stabilizing.

Like ARK, like Rust, like Conan, the open world survival crafting PvPvE genre just has a relatively niche audience. Dune blew up because of brand recognition, but the masses are quickly bouncing off after a while of realizing that a big chunk of the game is just busy work to maintain your progress.
