first for duncan idaho gholasscheeks

Second for suggesting a mailbox type system for leaving messages for your friends or guild mates, other players that can check up and get updates with.

I just logged in, repaired my base and changed the AA batteries out again and realized everyone was offline with no way to reach out to them unless third party programs and connections are made.
A more robust text system that supports events and emotes would be cool as well as a combat log maybe, bumping into that MMO like stuff?

Even copying the gryphon flight path system from WoW would be great, paying for the transport of local ornithopers that just let you sit back and flown out to regions or other posts with preset paths would be cool.

someone explain sinkcharts
I used one and nothin happened except I now have a hagga basin sink chart with a timer or smth

>>533758036
Players were supposed to unlock the ability to print maps of a region they scanned and give or sell to other players so they didn't have to.
People just datamine all loot locations and post it online instead.

>>533759621
Would work for DD, assuming it randomizes the map, find a good spot, sell information, profit

why do lights need seeds
why are decorations needlessly expensive

>>533761901
LED technology was an unfortunate incidental victim of the Butlerian jihad and the knowledge has since been lost, now they use LES(Light-Emitting Seed) technology instead.
I don't fuckin' know, it makes no sense whatsoever.

>Have to redo my entire circuit network because I just realized construct tool only pulls from circuit 1
my materials storage is all circuit 2

>>533761901
They actually produce light farther than 5m and arem't just iridecent textures that lumen tries to scrape up some blurry fill light for.
Probably to add a higher cost to minimize spamming them and tanking everyone's performance that lfies by.

bro come back...

Man, looting abandoned bases is so much more profitable than hunting spice. And it's not a boring grind which is more important anyway.

>>533766259
Let me guess, you pulled him from 150m away? They really start spazzing out past that and refuse to attack. You can get it to work eventually but it could take you an hour...

I just put hummingbird wings on my assault and holy shit this is like night and day

>melange is 40k/piece
>static needles are 10m and more
Totally normal prices

>>533775507
Supposedly the chinkers found a new bank dupe recently

>>533775507
melange is 5k on my server and there is almost no schematic on the AH

So what do you guys think are the chances they punish people that use the repair glitch or loot powered down bases by having NPCs destroy the console?

>>533777576
0

What's with the blue sclera?

>>533777576
They clearly can't track the durability of items correctly so how do you propose they punish things they can't track?

Looting powered down bases is likewise not going to leave logs. It's an NPC doing all the work. I'm unsure if the fief console even logs that damage, but even if it did, it has no ties to a player character.

>>533776410
I don't understand what duping even gets you once you get to endgame.

I'm sitting on thousands of melange and plast and I can't buy shit with my wealth because there is no endgame.

Please explain how 500 iron is half the volume of 500 aluminum

>>533779583
Im pretty sure the repair glitch fucked up the AH big time too. The non schematic sections are almost empty and it made it easier for people to just stack shit instead of side-grinding for maintenance

>>533768931
>you pulled him from 150m away?

How do you do that?

>>533783959
Compel and the voice cooldown passive + spice mode will give you the ability for 5 minutes to compel > shigawire continuously. You can pull dudes from 500m if you cared to, but their AI breaks and they just try to run back if they get too far from their camp, which is about 150m in my experience (though it seems to vary by enemy type or by camp or maybe both)

Welp, just made 3.5m over night selling 175 pieces of diamond dust/pump/carbide scrap for 20k each

>>533784409
Gotcha, did not think of spice mode. I imagine you could make it faster with more people compelling as well?

found some spastic in my base. they told me to get out. now they are trapped in my tower of rape

can you really trap people? can't they just hop to a diff. sietch or something

>>533785970
if this dude thinks it's his base then he'll come back. probably couldn't find the advanced fief but it's not like he built anything. I don't know how he even got in, I took the shields down and put up doors because I knew I wouldn't be playing for a bit

>>533785345
With 2 people you could do it without spice but it wouldn't speed things up all that much.

>>533768931
130m
>>533785345
the big problem is getting them to aggro once you pull them far enough.
sometimes the ai resets and thinks its current location is its home area, but you can't rely on that.

Whoever decided you had to go claim Landsraad rewards at the individual respresentatives should be publicly beaten to within an inch of their life.

>>533785970
You can trap vehicles, if someone cant get to it (i.e. you build around it) and they're not next to it to disassemble it, its locked forever. But people can easily teleport/leave themselves through death or server hopping.

>>533788683
ps 18k melange from this base

>>533796256
Based. Mine from yesterday was "only" 7000ish.

>>533777576
>repair glitch
Absolutely 0% given its ubiquity in use
Use it while you can, and I'd do at least one big repair session Monday before reset until they manage to untangle their retarded spaghetti code.
>NPCs destroying console
Extremely small as well. They're far more likely compensate the people losing shit like with the DD control point update mid-week than they are to somehow hunt down people kiting enemies and looting empty ruins of houses. They don't have any competent moderation able to help or ban anyone. See disabling family share as their best effort to stop duping alts creating millions of solarii and melange out of the ether
I'm starting to see likely victims posting on le site though, so expect a "fix" of some sort for this in two weeks

>>533800076
The thread on reddit was probably a hacker, assuming that poster wasn't lying and his base was powered.

What should I buy ?

>>533807013
There's nothing to buy except full T6 gear.

>>533807635
I have 7.5mil now I think I'll buy a triple shot for 7mil

>>533788683
Under spice, I can only command the npc 3 seconds after he wakes up and I've shigawired. By then he has regained 95% of the distance I took him from, or all of it if something goes wrong.
Anyone have more tips? Shigawire is only causing stumbling, so I don't know if I am using that incorrectly?
I got the NPC into the base (2 bases with no power, but nowhere near an NPC camp), but then spice wears off and he runs the entire way home. Just killed the NPC after an hour and a half of frustration.

>>533808225
That's not right. If you are in spice mode and you compel them to approach it should end when the cooldown of compel is 2-3 seconds, at which point you shiggywire them to stagger for those extra seconds.

Did you forget the passive skill that reduce voice cooldowns?

>>533810256
> Did you forget the passive skill that reduce voice cooldowns?
That would be exactly it. Thank you!

Next base with potential. 5 big boxes and two dozen smaller ones

>>533811994
Meh not even a thousand melange

Lot of agave seeds tho.

>>533778274
Have you never even heard of Dune before this game?

>>533780616
The iron ingots are smaller than the aluminum ingots.

Anyone find a way to get the AI to start attacking again? Usually I just have to wait a while but getting kind of sick of waiting.

You should be able to put those massive spotlights the patrol ships have on your ornithopter

>>533817593
If they have a shield you can smack them about almost indefinitely and at some point it might trigger their attack AI.

It doesn't always work for me.

>>533819609
I ended up waiting around a corner for a few minutes and hit with a scrap metal knife to minimize damage and it seems to work

HUGE LOOT

>>533823223
You should be banned

>>533824178
The base was entirely powered down dude. You can put 30 days worth of fuel in the directional generators, they obviously quit.

First haul, 3500 vol buggy stuffed

I don't have the BG unlocked. It's it still possible to get enemies to follow you in? There's a bunch of abandoned bases near the hammer and slave ships travel around 200m from there

>>533825792
Not without the spice prescience, compel, and voice cooldown skills

at what point can I outrun a sandworm?

>>533825792
The melee enemies will follow you like 75 meters of their own accord. So if it's close enough it should be possible.

>>533828761
>dindu sprint sideways and jump (or knee charge, shiggy wire)
>full suspensor belt
you should be able to dodge a worm like this

Don't expect much from this one but it was very low hanging fruit. Didn't even need to use compel.

>>533830090
I meant in a vehicle
I died twice to a worm and lost like 8 hours of progress I dont want to risk it again

>>533832332
Always take the shortest path on open desert. Look at your map and set a marker to the closest point and race to it. You can't outrun the worm in any ground vehicle, but in a thopter if it's charging you just move sideways and upwards.

How well would a duo do in DD on a low pop server? Me and my buddy have been playing together for a bit now, at this point where we are just grinding out a lot of duraluminum and other resources to pad ourselves before we attempt going out there.

>>533832332
You can't really. Maybe it's feasible with T6 components but for low level stuff, just drive from rocks to rocks.

>>533833735
Just learn how to build a portable base and it's easy

>>533835056
Any good videos or resources for this?

>>533835620
All I use is medium chem refinery, large ore refinery, and three advanced distillation beds which should fit in an assault ornithopter

>>533833735
I play with a friend but I play way more since I'm NEET, but it's very doable.

>>533835826
Thanks, that doesn't sound too terrible for both of us.

>>533836063
Same, we both kind of do our own thing a bit then come together for stuff like farm for ore in Sheol.

>>533780616
Yeah, that's weird and wrong. Iron takes up about 1/3rd the volume of aluminum for the same mass so 500 iron should be 1/3rd the volume of 500 aluminum, not 1/2 the volume.

>>533837869
To play devil's advocate, this iron was refined crudely in a makeshift machine built in a hobo's shoebox base, its probably full of impurities.

Who's this idiot trying to sell for 20k

While I am having fun looting abandoned bases it sure is depressing to see how many people have quit and how many abandoned buildings there are.

>>533824858
You're lucky as shit just to have consoles in easy locations near npcs. All of mine are in hard as fuck spots to compel to.

>>533841650
That was my first really good base, the others were okay but no where near as good. A lot of bases I've had to leave because there aren't enemies nearby, sadly

>>533841396
I feel fortunate because my sietch always have 5-10 players on with 80-120 on the server at all time and DD is pretty chill with low amount of gankers and guild sandcrawler farming.

Also I'm surprise that the main quest "Assassin's handbook" lead to some uniques POI on the world map.

>>533838135
it's 26k years in the future, I contend that it does not have significant impurities as they should understand the full process of purifying iron ore and how to extract unwanted elements from that ore. We understand how to do this today, and even in the middle ages we had rudimentary understanding of, and processes to, remove impurities from iron.

Chemical and metallurgical industries in the dune setting show no indication that they struggle with or lack understanding of their respective fields. If anything they're far more advanced than today, with metals and chemical products we could not replicate.

Therefore, the error in volume for equivalent mass between iron and aluminum in the game isn't because they don't understand purifying iron ore, but rather because one of the game's developers isn't aware of, or doesn't care, about the actual differences in density and volume between iron and aluminum. This is also a more elegant and simpler explanation which doesn't require re-writing the setting to fit the game mechanics; simply admit the developers have erred.

>the ore properties aren't correct
>in MY video game?
>ReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>533843205
It's a fictional world AND has video game mechanics. There's no reason for it other than things get more difficult the further you go. That's it.

I found a very juicy looking base but the little sandfly shit refuses to attack

>>533845848
If you have him trapped next to the console, hide around a corner for a few minutes and use a scrap metal knife to stab him and see if he retaliates. If he doesn't go hide again. The NPCs heal health when out of combat so it shouldn't die from this.

>>533843771
Yeah, it's developer error

>>533846701
Actually it's autism. Your autism.

>>533846650
I know but he just fucking refused.

Finally got him going after like an hour of poking and prodding

>>533843205
>because one of the game's developers isn't aware of, or doesn't care
I agree, and you make a good argument as well in regards to a future setting having far better technology. However its still a makeshift refinery built by a lone hobo, even if the real explanation is the developers are idiots.

>>533847552
Yeah it took me 45 mins to get one to attack me today, good luck on the loot!

Fucking score. Some of these are entirely filled with plast

and this

You will never find my base! Nuh-uh, never!
It's full of trash anyway, I'm a fucking pve carebear that never stepped foot in the DD :(

>>533849265
Holy fuck that's the best one I've seen posted!

>>533849382
It's clearly a guild base. Like 5 thopters, a carrier, etc. Shame I can't scrap those.

>>533849350
All you have to do to prevent people from looting it is put 4 walls around your fief...

It costs too much spice to make mk6 vehicles

>>533850884
Its why you just do engine and wings/wheels mk6 unless you want to pvp

>>533850884
Its not worth the effort. The only thing worth crafting with melange are the large spice and ore refineries. Every other use of melange is a waste of time.

>>533853890
Id say get a t6 weapon, powerpack and compactor at least for personal gear

>>533849382
>>533849265
i quit playing weeks ago but i keep coming back for shit like this

>>533832332
Not outrun, but you can safely cross around 800-1000m on open sand with a MK2 sandbike + mk2 turbo
I used to only be able to safely cross 500m

>rubberband
>rubberband
>rubberband
I am going to lose my fucking mind

Suddenly I have no access to my fief in the DD and can't place buildings, but I can still cross the pentashield

the fuck did Funcom screw up now?

>>533855684
you got VISIONED

>>533854419
Not worth it, it costs plas and melange to repair while providing no advantage. You can do everything with T5.5.

>300 hours with no issues
>Friend went 20 before he got such bad stuttering and rubber banding he can't play at all
Insane how random this game is for performance

>>533856746
What else are you going to use spice on? A more refineries?

>>533860240
blackjack and hookers

Gonna make it creep up the side of the mountain.

>>533856746
Powerpack mk6 is huge for your shield tanking ability. You're just a pve minmax productionfag

I love the spit dart

Pls be my friend I’m lonely

How do I find a guild to join

DD resets should be every 2 weeks

I'm loving the new endgame. Just finished raiding my 2nd Hagga base. I've watched too many guild bases decay with nothing to gain from them.

And tomorrow we'll build our medium ore refinery

Good night /dg/

>>533849265
uhh wtf. what did that base look like? you probs found a duper base who quit. i've really gotta check my siech

>>533777576
>>533800076
Npc raiding thing is so easy to avoid too, just keep your console hidden behind a real door, and they have bigger problems if they cant even keep their base powered.

How do you kite an npc far enough to have it get to the base fiefs?

Closest NPC is 380m away from my console, would I be safe if my power went down?

>>533881936
The only safe place is high ground with no NPCs at or above you.

anyone know how to pull an npc past their usual leash distance? if i compel them to walk past it, they just turn back around, even if being shot.

>omni static compactor almost dead after 3 medium spice blooms and 5 small
>costs 15 melange
naw, nigga

this one took forever to get in position and attacking

>>533885057
can you offer any tips on getting an npc in position?

>>533886594
Use buggy and scout thopter to block pathways. If you're far enough sometimes they'll just get stuck facing a wall towards their base/spawn and you just have to try stabbing them once in a while to coax them into attacking.

>>533887479
>>533885057
Does it always have to be a gunner NPC? Or does any work?

>>533864067
600 to 800 changes literally nothing for shield tanking which you would know if you actually went into the DD

>>533860240
Nothing, Spice is worthless as a resource in the current game

spice got down to 2350 on my server. the next most expensive has a guy who dumped 4-5 stacks of 500 at 2400. plastinium is 3400-3800. I guess the gold duping didn't hit mine, and the large guilds are selling to stock up on gold??

>>533890028
Get 400 Melange, get the large ore refinery, then forget about spice. Trust me its a pointless trap.

>>533888169
Gunner or heavy gunner. Melee enemies won't work.

>>533891805
I kept trying to get a gunner to stick around and shoot the fief control but it just wouldn't work, no matter what he just kept trying to run back to base. Maybe he was just leashed too far from where he spawned.

>>533892791
A melee npc can work if you can somehow block his pathfinding, so he has to pull out a gun. SOL it the console is in the middle of a big open area

>>533892791
I have had melee mobs attacking and damaging the console but their camp needs to be close enough that they chase you naturally (about 75m tops)

You could also use the patrol ship mercs if one wonders into the area, they presist a bit more in my experience

>>533904618
Thought of that too, but there are no worthwhile bases there, almost ever. People's bases there are typically on steel or aluminum tier at best.

Guildbase ruin diving is actually really fucking fun and interesting. All these preorder bonus furniture, donkey statues, maudib terrariums, murals, speaking of an earlier, more optimistic civilization Al period

WHY DO SUSPENSORS DEGRADE SO FAST
I made a full suspensor to replace my leap suspensor today and it's already half degraded despite barely using it
Shouldn't out of combat exploration/travel options not be punished for being used!??

Would it be possible to make a basic subfief and large storages with layers upon layers of plastone floors/walls as a sort of ablative shield for like 6 months storage at the bottom of hagga rift?

>>533906801
Devs kinda forgot about the shigawire claw + suspensor combo for maximum mobility, suspensors (and powerpacks) degrade faster because they were never supposed to be used so much. Shigawire is a staple ability for most people now. I think it should just be a t3 item honestly, along with its own degradation and limitations depending on tier. Then new players will have to learn not to depend on the trooper ability and maybe use the planetologist jump pad and climbing bonus more.

I just always carry a spare full suspensor belt, problems weren't

>>533906489
They could spice it up a little and it could even be its own game. It's far better than going through the same old testing station again and again.

>>533906969
Yes, that would be the most you can do if you're not going to log in for more than a month.

I should've taken a screenshot but I just took over a fief console from someone else? The doors were open and I could look in all the containers and take stuff as if I want the owner. When looking at the console there was an option 'claim fief' or something like that and it turned everything over to my control.

They should really expand your storage in the city by like 10x and even that wouldn't be enough for someone who's been playing endgame for a while.

>>533889562
You forgot that it charge 25% faster on top of the increase maximum capacity thus making it harder for your shield to go down. You would know this if you went outside and enjoyed the Summer ya cave dweller.

Fag

>>533889562
600 to 800 is pretty fucking major, that's a full third more effective HP which matters a lot in the DD gauntlets where you're regularly tanking ranged enemies en masse while positioning, running away from rushers, or trying to break LoS

That's the difference between getting downed and making it to the LoS break with your character blinking blue

>>533910585
Supposedly, you can claim consoles if the other side hasn't paid taxes.

I've looted about 5 good bases now and I'm so fucking rich lmao. Why bother getting a few thousand spice sand per hour when you can loot thousands of melange in the same timeframe

>>533912216
Yeah sure but what are you gonna do now? solo pvp harass guilds and loot goblins in DD

>>533912576
I'm gonna have to rebuild my base because I got large containers all over after dumping all the loot just haphazardly

>>533912917
You can always sell some melange slowly in AH and hunt schematics with a mk6 missile scoutin DD after that

>>533913172
I found plenty of T6 weapons and schematics in these bases so I'm good in that department.

One of the guild bases had 4 ancient way rocket launchers.

i found the console, this might be doable, buddy_hweh please let a CHOAM merc patrol ship spawn nearby tonite

>>533906801
Learn how to use it efficiently

Looks like the first video about the NPC pulling is now out on youtube. How many weeks do you think will it take for Funcom to do something about it?

>>533921965
CHOAM is just doing their jobs raiding a dangerous fugitives base.

>>533921965
The same amount of time it took them to fix the exploit where people build on top of titanium nodes

I put all my good shit in the bank and left trash in my base. cya's in 2 weeks or however long until funcom fix some stuff

Why is the assault's booster so miserable? Can't even reach its max glide speed and as such feels awkward as fuck to use.

>>533921965
More people have left the game than there are still playing. Plenty of abandoned shit to go around for the fraction of people that will view that video and actually try and participate.

>>533921965
Which video?
Link?

>>533921965
Why would they patch something that will only be an issue for a month or two? Once the bases from all people who left (which is like 80% of the playerbase) either decay or get raided like this, big pinata bases will become few and far between.

Is the focused mk6 buggy cutteray worth it?

>>533938529
It's 20% more yield I think but it qlso depends how much the blueprint will run you on your server

>>533892791
>no matter what he just kept trying to run back to base
Yes, it can take an hour of prodding every minute or two to get it to attack you.

If you can't get them to attack after a long time, just kill and try a different type of mob. You may need to wait for some to respawn.

>>533939998
Too bad you can't string them up and drag them like in Conan exiles

I'm hitting my limit on my base storage with all this loot. Does increasing the size with a stake unit also allow you more buildings such as storage?

>>533938529
It's something like a jump from 90 to 116 yield before modifying skills according to stats as written, so at least six more plastinium per titanium node which is decently significant if not fucking bugged and you don't lose it being dumb in the PVP side. It's always ridiculously priced for a good reason on the AH.

If you also have the dogshit stravidium fiber turn in for it this week, there are two pretty "safe" islands at the northeast side of DD this week. Just try to avoid drawing any attention from the large spice fields nearby. I think it took three full storage scout runs of raw to complete the 10500 with a 2x point harkonnen loser buff making it easier

How did Elara know I had pubes to hide the shigawire in?

>>533943843
Sell some of the spice before deflation hits the .market

>>533949009
Already doing but I can't flood the market or the price will tank and my server's auction house is pretty dead.

>>533911403
You haven't spent a single second in DD PvP and it shows

>>533911239
Not useful, in PvE or PvP. Shields do nothing in PvP and in PvE they never break.

But you go grind T6 mats for hours and hours just to never use them, enjoy wasting your life lmao.

>>533961291
It is the way of things with all FFA PvP games. I saw it way back in Dark Age of Camelot, the FFA PvP servers were completely barren wastelands populated only by roving gangs of geared-to-the-tits max level characters looking for anything that might be easy prey and carefully avoiding clashing with other similar gangs. I tried making a character on one of those servers a little while into its operation, and literally from the moment I popped into the world I was followed by said max level, geared-to-the-tits characters just salivating over the idea of killing me once my low level PvP immunity wore off. And they had the gall to complain that nobody would play with them.

>>533969178
and in labs where there's both pvp and pve? every little advantage helps when you're up against sweats

there's definitely a bit of a choice between basic mk6 and sparky but that's clearly a topic that goes way over your head

i didn't need to grind much at all, mostly just killed and raided people like you to take your stuff, did my part in keeping the desert free of subhumans

>>533971534
You're supposed to get hazed into joining them and then you too can rove around looking for noobs to stomp until the retarded game design implodes on itself and everyone stops playing.

>>533973123
Thankfully, the non-FFA servers actually had really good faction based realm vs. realm PvP, so I just stuck with that. One of the few games to really make that kind of thing work, because it was designed from the group up to be an RvR game and eased everyone into it from early levels via the Battlegrounds.

>>533888169
Melee works for me, but you need to heavy attack to kick them into combat. If it's a weak npc, you'll kill them with an improvised scrap knife. They pull a gun out to shoot you when you jump onto a utility (or console).

>PvE players scared away from the game by gankers in forced PvP

Game dead after a month.

When the game is unplugged, my base will contain all the resources of my sietch's de-powered bases. I no longer go to DD to acquire my spice and plast.

Dune is much newer and the power gap between T5 Duraluminum and T6 Plastanium gear is not comparable to the difference between a veteran vs newbie account. It's pretty funny that you're some old fuck traumatized by your experience in some equally aged MMO that you'd complain about it here. Not being able to let that kind of thing go is a personal problem, nobody is going to take your whining seriously.

>>533975334
NTA but you are another retarded fuck purposely missing the forest for the trees by saying 'DONT BITCH OR COMPARE IT TO OTHER COMPREBLE SITUATIONS REEEEE' you sound like an imbecilic child.

I can't wait to get to the deep desert and turn some fools into my water

>>533975334
Not the anon you're responding to but no one's traumatized, people just have better things to do with their time than be endlessly ganked by someone with the maturity of a child.

>>533976284
Don't let yourself be baited anon, he's a PvP tard who knows he has no excuse for his antisocial histrionics and so resorts to disingenuous missing-the-point in the hope of getting a rise out of you.

>>533975334
>the power gap between T5 Duraluminum and T6 Plastanium gear is not comparable to
I can only imagine how fucking bad it is in age of conan or whatever the fuck anon was talking about if a 200% powergap in Dune "isn't comparable" to the power gap in the other game.

A 200% powergap is basically "incompetent retard autowins by pressing random buttons against vet player with 2000hrs played as a new character"; I don't know how anyone could look at a gap like that and think "oh yeah, this is good for the game". It's the kind of shit you see devs do when they suck very very very badly at their own game and want some kind of intrinsic advantage so that there's at least SOMEONE lower on the totem pole than them.

And it actually flies in the face of the retarded RUST but DOON design of this game, because in rust some gearless hobo is still a credible threat - not like that in dune. Can you imagine a guy with just a basic stillsuit and a knife, no shield, no suspensor belt, being able to kill anyone even at just T3 or T4 level, let alone T6? Ostensibly that's what the fremen literally are and yet the game's mechanics and design actively works against the idea of anyone being a threat to you unless they also have maxed out gear and levels.

It really shows just how distanced the actual gameplay and its mechanics are from the setting. The only parts that actually fit the theme are the parts left atrophied and decaying because they clearly don't matter - the PVE content that everyone playing the game actually enjoyed. While the garbage PVP that everyone hates, even the PVPnigging sealclubbers, takes charge of how everything in the game works in the end. It's like a black hole of garbage game design sucking the entire rest of the game down with it.

post your weekly abandoned base loot versus your total dd loot since you started going to dd

Too lazy to take screenshots of roughly two dozen big containers. I got tens of thousands melange and plastanium, ancients way rocket launchers, lots of the rarer drops for turning in to landsraad. Basically I'm maxed out on everything.

Always in a good mood when I'm in PvP since it's my favorite activity. I also like to speak to people I kill in a friendly voice through proximity chat to remind them that it's just a game. If you're devoting so much of your brainpower etching your own video game deaths (real or imagined) into your long term memory, that's because you're mentally unsound and probably annoying to be around.

Its hilarious Dune doesn't have modding capability. Look at this modding scene, not even just your lewd one.

What if someone did this, but didn't take anything and tried living in someone's walls for a bit

>>534001952
You mean just taking the base over and using it as your new home? I guess, if you like the look of the place.

If you wall off the fief, and don't pay taxes. People can't claim your base, and you can keep using the base as normal, right?

>>534002154
Well the assumption would be they come back and think all is well, until I walk through their front door. I could also do this for a new seitch, as I don't want to transfer all my stuff over.

My lure NPC just grenaded himself to death, holy based. This is actually bringing life into the game for me. I'm gonna clear out all the shit shacks rotting around Anvil on my seitch.

Why don't we have more death stranding type structures to aid in traveling ? I saw someone was trying to build a public bridge across the canyons of the shield wall. The fief was defaulted on several ten thousands of loans and shit was all broken, but you could still use the bridge somewhat

>>534003740
It trivializes the game. Also the limits on fiefs mean there's always a wedge between them, so you can't do something fun like building a highway from hagga south to Verm.

This isn't even a good one, I'm just trying to see how it works.

>>534004459

Fucking please, it's already trivial, all it'd do is reduce tedium.

>haha oh yeah bro and then I killed you to take your stuff!
Ah yes, all that plas and melange you get from PvP. Shut the fuck up troll.

>>533990343
That isn't right. Dune doesn't have PvP it has seal clubbing or player killing if you will. It does not have in any shape or form promote "PvP". PvP means two players with different or similar skill levels using similar to identical gear to fight each other with an emphasis on personal skill. You can scale this up or down in player count and it doesn't change it being PvP, but it stays fair (i.e. 1v1, 3v3, 64 v 64 ect.)

Dune has player killing, the objective is to get more people than the other side and clobber them so they can't fight back. So 'go back to fortnite or overwatch' doesn't make sense as an insult because those game are balanced and fair designed for PvP.

The better insult is go back to Rust, which does what Dune wants to do but better.

Genuinely, do not build in the DD. Its a waste of time and energy. The only things you might want from T6 is the large ore refinery which is good for all ores, and the large spice refiner.

Spice: get in a storage thopter and fly to a big field in off-peak time periods to harvest, or do Basin server hopping in a booster thopter (arguably this is faster, definitely safer)
Plas: Buy off AH, use any one of a thousand money making schemes
Spiced Plas: Don't need it
T6.5 uniques: Don't need it

this game's numerical balance (strictly speaking about damage values, armor values, crafting costs, etc) feels like a fucking not even first pass pre-alpha
71 spice melange to make a mk6 harja literjon
45 to make a t6 fabricator
melee weapon damage scaling between normal variants and unique make no fucking sense

Absolutely fucking psychotic.

They need to start combining servers already the market is dead

>>534019828
Oh I meant I saw a completely unrelated guy on my first raid (saw him run out of an active base) and I clued him in that the storage to this one was "open" and he immediately ran over and started devouring the scraps. Both of these are nearby decaying neighbors to him, but he was in slaver gear so he's definitely newer and could use the leg up

Its a fair insult because it not only demeans their taste by insinuating they'd prefer a colorful teen's game, it also casts into question the very thing you explained.

If they truly love PvP like they're trying to champion, then they will champion it done in a fair manner instead of trolling everyone else for not wanting to engage in being their "seals" to be clubbed.

>>534010103
It won't, use the twitch reward ceilings or the Atreides DLC ceilings and add a million billion lights to your base and you'll see that all that happens is the lights turn off when you're not in range.

are wind turbines more efficient than just normal power generator? I was so disappointed to see a single lubricant only kept the turbine running for 1 hour.

>>534035349
They output double the power of a normal generator but lubricant is more annoying to make than just jamming fuel cells in there. Ideally you want to stay on normal generators but you have only a limited amount of production slots. Eventually you will hit the cap and need to upgrade at least some basic generators to wind to save on production slots.

Forgot Trippleshot

>>534044141
But what is it useful for?

Such great potential for this game and Funcom fucked it all up by going on holiday for a month instead of fixing shit. All that opportunity squandered.

>>534056296
Technically they have a year and half to really "fix it" since the last movie of the trilogy is coming december 2026 and the console release probably a bit before that. At that point the Dune saga will be at its peak of Worldwide popularity. After finishing DUNC part I and II, checking the restored original script version of Lynch's 1984 version on youtube and listened to many unwrapping and ideas about the lore I am ordering the 6 books to get though them. Star wars is really baby tier next to what Dune offers both in narrative and ideological themes.

>>534058515
Once you lose a player they are unlikely to come back, ever. And sure, there might be an influx because of the new dune movie but I'm not sure they can get their shit together before that happens. The new players will probably still face the same issues.

>>534061854
To be honest I couldn't care less about the player count, even for funcom since sales are more important than player retention with their business model. This game is just as enjoyable solo or with only a handful of players around. What I wonder is if the console version is gonna be crossplay. But for sure now that the dev are back they better buckle up their belt and start working hard on new contents in the next upcoming months for sure.

>>534061854
It's AoC/CE all over again, basically. They've learned nothing.

>>534062994
>crossplay
Considering the poor state of the game when it comes to most technical aspects like networking and performance, I really doubt they can get this to work.

>>533969178
>Not useful, in PvE or PvP. Shields do nothing in PvP and in PvE they never break
Then this faggot tell me I don't go to DD lol. Try to clear a DD wave based station solo before talking shit, let alone venture solo into wrecks/stations pass the pvp line. The difference between power pack mk5 and mk6 is quite substantial. It is already when you look at the stats and is even more apparent in function. You're an idiot stacking melange than crying its useless because you don't even make use of it.

you're beyond retarded.

This one's probably got shitty loot but it's a massive fucking shitbox of an eyesore and blocking off a major intersection in aluminumville so I'm just going to raze it to the ground primarily

>>534066625
If it's that empty inside that's what I assume as well. How many have you raided so far? I'm about to do my third, probably will do a few more before it's fixed.

Do you ignore all the basic components or keep them? I'm not sure if it's worth vendoring it (dead auction house lol) or just ignoring it completely

>>534068752
The storage area was behind me. There was quite a bit the rarer components such as insulated fabric, thermoelectric cooler and stuff like that but overall it wasn't anything special.

This was the 12th big base I salvaged. There's been some low hanging fruit (cucksheds of various sizes) here and there on top of that.

I don't even pick up most of the ingots anymore because I'm hopping sietches. I just look for melange, blueprints and plast basically. And the occasional low volume stuff for landsraad such as shipping manifests and fire opals.

>>534070543
Have you found any good bases outside of shield wall?

>>534074916
I fly to anvil and then to the north part of western vermillius before going to shield wall but I've only ever found 1 good base there.

>>534070543
Makes sense. Are you selling the blueprints holding onto them for your own use?

I've noticed cucksheds around Anvil have a lot of people that don't know they should deposit solari in the bank, but they're also not hoarding blueprints either. I'll fly over to the abandoned bases around my subfief in Eastern Shield Wall and see if I can crack open a few of the bigger dead guild ones, since that seems to be the best area.

>>534076328
I eat most blueprints. Very rarely I will find a lasgun or something that I keep for the auction house.

>>534080275
Yeah, it does. And "gooner Rust" may be uncharitable but not inaccurate, at least for the full-PvP ruleset. There's plenty of PvE-only servers for RP and whatnot though.

We need a control panel or console to manage all the circuits and production machines. I'm too spoiled by better games. Is there a way to give suggestions to the devs, will they even listen?

>>534085786
your idea goes into "the vision" machine which turns it into useable data that will mostly be whatever the devs decide and something reddit posted about a lot, like cobalt paste.

>>534097536
I think I may have done this on accident a few times, what kind of bug is this? The server just doesn't update repair levels at the same time as it reports held items?

>>534102393
It doesn't really make sense any way you look at it.

My best guess is the game doesn't immediately update metadata when something happens to an item but it does a periodic check, probably to save on server resources. It tries to check the item's last known location, which doesn't exist anymore because the bo was destroyed, and because it doesn't know what the fuck happened it just resets it to full as a safety precaution.

How goes the scavenging for you guys?

>>534169571

>>534169571
How'd you manage that?
I also have a theory that they are less likely to shoot if you do not have your shield turned on.

>>534169707
I'll try after he destroys the fief but it's indoors so the testing will be very limited.

>>534169750

>>534169707
The cunt rubberbands like mad and jumped off after a few seconds.

>>534169750
they will shoot if they can't reach you. if you start hovering at a high enough position, they'll switch to their gun. you can also use a bike to position yourself at an elevation they can't reach.
>>534170395
shame

>>534174562
I'll do some more testing with other orni skins and npcs but I don't think its gonna be a reliable method.

Somehow this dipshit, despite being pressed right up against the fief, still manages to miss half his shots.

I have noticed that a lot of these bases, after putting up my own fief, still have power because all the pentashields suddenly flicker on.

Are they disabled due to unpaid taxes then?

ngl actually going with a scout thrusters solo in wrecks and pvp stations is great. I get to ambush solo players (or get ambush myself) and its fun. I wouldn't say it would be as fun without the repair glitch that said. I made a litteral 1x1 hobobox public just to be watersealed and use my bps before going back to it. I got a couple feyd knife and idaho charge now. I use feyd knife + drillshot(for pvp) + rocket launcher

Does anyone know what energy values were subtly adjusted to make all these bases go offline? I remember last week my base was suddenly overloaded despite nothing new being added.
Just realized that's probably what happened to a lot of these well-stocked bases. When I take them over, they're instantly 'overloaded.' Deactivating 1 utility is usually enough.

>>534189496
I don't think anything was adjusted. The real big power drains like refineries and deathstills are still the same as they were on launch. It seems unlikely that some change to a smaller crafting bench would kill absolutely all of these bases.

The simple truth is that power bugs out at times just like the rest of this fucking game.

Better raid while you can. The new test patch fixes the NPCs damaging buildings.

no fun allowed, you WILL look at the decaying bases and you WILL like it

>>534190910
Wouldn't want players to salvage resources from those who stopped playing....

>>534192340
It's not like scavenging and letting nothing go to waste is part of dune lore or anything

I can't find that in the official patch notes? Only a small screenshot on a reddit post but the background colour doesn't match that of the official site.

Scavenging bases is most likely solo's picking up after large guilds quit, as in these threads. There's no abuse, unlike the sanctioned cullings of solos in the DD.

I'm fine with them fixing that exploit if they add a proper mechanic of getting salvage rights on abandoned bases. Perhqps by paying the taxes that they've missed, you get control of the fief or something.

If they just fix the "exploit" and do nothing else, it's just entire sietches full of dying structures taking up real estate. Nobody wants to look at that.

>>534195345
I'm a clean player, and I'm okay with routing NPCs into bases for scavenging precisely because I know the company won't adjust base decay for months, if at all.
It's been over a month, and they've just 'added' 'extract all' liquids...to the test server. I was there with Conan's launch, and understand they have their national vacation. Even then, they have not made a single meaningful update beyond turning 3/5 of the DD PvE, which was a horrible decision for the DD community.

Did they add that new abandoned harkonnen city/pity to the World map with this reset or did I trigger it with some quests

i feel like there was a smarter way of doing it, but it worked.

>>534197881
They changed their mind

Test patch goes live when? next week thursday?

Plenty of time to raid every juicy base on every sietch.

>>534198575
Part of the main quest

>>534201282
ETA August 12 or so.

Any good Dune fanfics? Not Brian Herbert's stuff. Not smut either. I read a pretty good Worm crossover recently where post GM Taylor woke up in an abandoned research station prior to the Atreides coming in and taking over. Something like that one.

>>534201754
Why do they have a fucking launcher if they post their news only on steam?

Fucking cretins.

Holy shit I need to read that. Where did you find it?

How am I expected to keep up the water and power supply and lubricant and filters and fuel cells
Fucking stop
Give me a way to automate some things.
>>534202325
>Worm
I have not heard that name in almost ten years bro
I wish there was an animated series or a TV show for it, it's criminally underrated.

>>534204958
Spacebattles. There are actually a handful of Worm/Dune crossovers, but Sandworm is the only one I've found that I thought was good enough to recommend.

>>534206828
Worm has lived rent free in my head since 2011. I remember reading that the author was trying to edit it into proper publishing, but I feel like I read that back in 2014 or so and have heard nothing since. There was a sequel to it, Ward, which was... fairly decisive to say the least. Honestly props to the guy for trying though. Worm was such a good mix and so well thought out that going back to it must have been daunting.

My best so far. Took me like 3 buggy runs with bigger buggy boot MK6. 1.1k plast and bunch of other. I have 58 million Solaris now and will try to reach 100 mil club.

>>534209575
How do you consistently get the stupid mobs to chase and attack you? I have tried a combination of Compell, Stop, and melee attacks to get aggro but they all just run back after a certain distance

>>534211997
Spice mode reduces cooldowns so you can compel > grapple continuously

>base across the street slow rotting but they fully enclosed their fief console physically
FUCKING HARKY DOOR WALLS

>>534220093
I layered eight walls around my console at the very bottom of my base, just in the event that I ever quit. It will be the last thing of my base destroyed.

>>534220093
Mobs damage walls too if base power is out. It's just gonna take you a very long time but if you stand in front of it the missed bullets will eventually chew through the wall.

>>534221550
Oh they do? Oh then this will be easy, I had no idea, thank you.

>>534220825
Probably very smart.

>>534199449
Can you please get a better computer, your screenshots hurt to look at

>>534223146
NTA but my screenshots look like that too, just not much I can do with a 3060ti on 1080p.

>>534201754
>>534202552
This is on the test client, still have until the 12th to loot bases

>>534199449
What am I looking at here?

>>534220825
So, what, do you just refill every generator/turbine manually?

Fucking youtubers and redditors having to broadcast the base killing tactic. It was the only thing keeping me playing because it's something new to do.

Probably just gonna pack my shit up in 50 layers of walls and stop playing when the patch drops.

They're grossly overstating how much energy you need for shields to work. Its just trolls trying to convince people their sunk cost T6 gear was worth the grind.

Oh boy! Another 21 days of ugly half ruined shit!

>>534235724
That doesn't make any sense. You can only have 3 fiefs total.

What do unique vehicle upgrades actually do?
Some of the descriptions explain nothing

>>534244612
Some are straight upgrades, others do irrelevant shit.

One I would highly recommend is the hummingbird wings on the assault. It makes it feel less like a flying bathtub.

building was impenetrable because of the stronghold walls, so i built a tower high enough so i could make a console right above their vertical claim. after that, i pulled a mob through the tower and pushed him off the extended portions onto the roof.

Ok thank God I never bothered watching the dune movies. You fucking faggots almost baited me into watching it. The cast is all niggers and mulattos. The same tranny faced bitch mutt from spiderman is there too holy fuck.

>>534244884

Its your right and freedom but its still a great adaptation made by a good director well worth seeing.

i feel so fomo'd by this basebreaking trend desu, can't find decent shit in my sietch
when is it gonna get patched? today 8am UTC?

>>534247471
Just watch the 80s movie or if you like 90s era mid-budget scifi and don't mind a little bit of B-grade, watch the SyFy version (its the only one that includes two of the sequel books, and bonus milkers are on display in that one).

>>534254348
Chani being miscast and the gender and raceswapped Kynes aside, the movies are really good. I'm also happy with how the movie handled Paul killing the Baron instead of Alia. I don't think it would translate very well.

>>534255267
It's getting fixed when the new big patch is coming which is slated for August 12. Hopefully patch is delayed since it's funcom and all.

the villenueve movie is great and stands on its own cinematographic merits, that scene in part two of the fedaykin riding the worms past the shield wall into the massed sardaukar is kinorgasm desu

but damn if it isn't infested with debra wilson liet kynes strong independent niggeress woke bullshit. the moment they tried to rebrand 'paul's jihad' to 'paul's crusade' back in the first trailer I knew the scriptwriting was unfortunately, politically biased.

bros why is this game so fun and also so shit

>>534255673
Kynes appear so little in this movie and get back gibs (cool stillsuit water effect) by a harkonnen before worm riding wich reflect the ending scene where her daughter chani is about to do the same. If anything they missed to use chani's mother death and paul's father death to get them closer thematically. But the way they present it its like chani was not even aware it was her mother. I forgot if they even have a scene together

>>534255673
By the way they never say jihad or crusade in the movie but they do say "The Holy War" which is fair and also in the book

>>534257171
They only changed that after the backlash of one of the DUNC 1 trailers that specifically said 'crusade' afaik
but wokies will try their hardest to push their shit if they aren't called out on it

>>534247471
>Fragile male sees one woman and comes to illogical conclusions
You're more female than females lmao

>>534231094
You only need 1 fuel cell generator to keep a base powered.

>>534256287
Everything PvE is great, but the PvP fags got in the way and ruined everything, instead of a real PvE end game we got their dogshit peppered through the game with crashed ships and the DD.

>>534257343
So good thing it was kept to a minimum and minor story changes were done tastefully. The Dune story is too grandiose in themes that I just can't stop on such small stupid DEI shits like that but I hear you.

>>534257443
I've been thinking about this for my base designs. You really only need excess generators if you have all kinds of fabricators or refineries everywhere. But how often do you really craft a new weapon at your weapon station? Or set of armor? There are a few necessities like a survival fabricator and your water-generation method of choice but even those are only needed if you're actively playing out of that specific base.

Meanwhile pentashields and prudence doors are noob traps that let strangers into your base once your power's out so you should never use them except if absolutely necessary for a garage or something.

>>534255673
The fact anyone thinks they're bad is insane to me. Regardless if you like the books or not, the movies themselves are acting/cinematic/audio top tier greatness.

>>534258156
I think its silly to write off the Villaneuve movies just because they horribly miscast Chani or genderswapped Kynes or rewrote some things to appease a political climate. But some of the changes are somewhat like smearing a masterpiece painting with just a tiny dab of shit in the corner. Its still a masterpiece but sometimes you notice and wonder at the little dab of shit marring the oil paints.

>>534258104
Yeah. 1 gen for 75 power covers the base and any pentas (if any). 1 gen by your crafting stations (i.e. need repair station, turn on gen and station) .Then 2-4 large turbines for if you're playing and need the big ore refiner/big spice refiner/deathstills running.

>>534258156
They really are. I'm still in awe after watching part II some days ago. The climax payoff is completely insane and feel so intimately natural yet is huge for the consequences of the universe. All the bene gesserit scenes/exchange are so great, specially that ending one.

>>534258628
You say that but the average political guy will watch something like Falling Down and not see that its a total subversion on the working white man lol

What killed the hype?

>Nooo you MUST eat my shit or you are le pussy -ACK
Sorry
Just not going to eat your jewish propaganda slop

>>534260478
Exactly what an emotion driven animal would think. Its good you have no power over anything.

has the nigger base stealing shit been fixed yet?

>>534260001
A bunch of stuff;
>misleading advertising
>streamer FOTM + zerg rusher
>a endgame that did not resonate with the first 100 hours for most
>dev unable to decide btw pvp or pve thus alienating a bit of both sides simultaneously
>dev going on holidays at the worse critical timing when qol AND content was needed
>solid ground pvp being hidden by forced ornithopter fights
>summer
>and some more other stuff

I don't think the game being a bit buggy is source of any disinterest. People jus want more of it mostly

>>534260781
Next patch
already fixed

>>534261189
I stopped playing because of the base bug and just packed up most of my shit. I abandoned one pretty cool base, hopefully someone took it over. I built a sub-fief and just stash water, building materials etc. all my good shit is in the bank. I want to start building a new base but don't want someone fucking with me if I log out for a few days
>>534261360
thanks

>>534261360
>Colliding with the sandworm’s body during any of its animations will now result in death or vehicle destruction.
damn

it's kinda funny and appropriate that the only people getting their bases cracked are the retards running 1800/1600 on their power and keeping all their production shit on 24/7 all the time and don't even know you can turn stuff off and have a single fuel gen keeping your shields up

>>534262608
I wouldn't give a shit if niggers didn't play the game. they do so it's just annoying enough to make me stop playing

>>534262608
I've only ever cracked crumbling bases that have obviously been long abandoned. I wonder if they want to justify calling it an exploit when its obviously just an oversight with NPC damage.

>>534261495
You only got fucked over if you left for more than 20 days
getting power is easy, why not just turn off every fabricator and then log off?

>>534260478
>NOO I DON'T WANT TO EAT THIS AFRICAN SHIT I WANT TO EAT THIS NORWEGIAN SHIT INSTEAD
see how retarded you sound? and if you don't play the game either, fucking leave

>>534263594
i'll go in and look around. it's interesting what people build. the ones obviously abandoned normally have nothing worth taking, maybe some stuff to recycle
>>534263852
the devs timing and the stuff I get go to do just don't gel atm. it's my bad luck. I started a new character to play with my brother on the same server as my main. I used family sharing, did it the day before they patched that out. just over it atm desu senpai

How are you still up?

So, im considering buying this game, is it actually decent?

>>534264140
Mr President, a third tower has been hit

>>534267462
just watch some youtube videos. I would recommended getting a buggy vehicle as fast as possible. unless you enjoy mining ore

Are the new decoration pieces on the test server?

>>534267462
it's good for like 100-150 hours until you get past the basin after that it sucks

>not really happy with my base anymore
>can't be fucked to remake and re-fief it
This sucks man.

OY VEY

How does it work if you destroy and replace an advanced fief in your base?

>>534274616
you regain control of everything seamlessly so long as its in-bounds
just be quick, a basecracker might be lurking nearby and if he plops a fief before you remake yours he gets the base

>>534274851
Thanks. Do you know how taxes are determined for staking units? Trying to reduce my claim because I don't use a lot of it.

>>534274616
Note that while you regain everything in bounds as >>534274851 said, you will have to re-stake any extra space expansion the advanced fief had, and if your generators are on the ass end of the complex from where you have your console-plot, you won't have any shields.

>>534275490
Can you place the advanced fief console on a constructed platform? I built my base centered on a bridge and I want to move the console to one half of the base and stake across to the other half, so I have less wasted space on each end (console + one stake across should do it as opposed to console + one stake on either side.)

>>534275640
yes you can and it's a common strategy to maximize the verticality on a claim to first put up a temporary fief, build a couple of foundations, then delete the first fief and remake on top of platforms so the 'default' z-position is 2-3 levels higher

>>534275061
it's an extra 2k per stake expansion

>>534267904
It's a bit hard to pick up stuff if it's floating in the air and will despawn in 15 minutes isn't it?

What is the music that plays in the shield wall that's all piano and mewwwwwwwwwww
it's very soothing

>>534273981
Put everything in chests, put it all downstairs on the lowest level, destroy the entire base and put it in the chests. Now build it again.

I did this with my sub fief, didn't like it being Atr and wanted to go CHOAM.

>>534277025
You can put down your own fief and build some stairs and platforms.

spice just keeps dropping. people on my server keep putting up stacks cheaper and cheaper. cheapest plastanium for reference is 3500, with 120 or so avail, next is 3825 with similar number.

>>534293918
Well everyone has built their large refineries and T6 items and then there's literally nothing you can do with spice.

You can donate it to the landsraad I guess, if you're insane.

>>534211997
Yeah the longer the distance for npc the more annoying it is. Try to find a base that have npcs nearby. I will try consume spice and Respec so voice have less cooldown ,maybe then you can bait them longer distances more easy.
>>534293918
That cheap completely different on our server
Spice is like 12- 20k while plast is like 25 -35k

I sell plast for like 25 or 30 k then buy spice when I need it. Feels good that I don't need to farm spice anymore, I don't even need to go to PVP areas anymore.

Bingo again. Looked like a shitty base. But had plast as well

>>534295604
Shitty looking bases can have some good stuff. What's more important is if they have advanced workbenches and big refineries.

As a new-ish base raider I fucked up, make sure to bring a storage module if you're on another sietch so you can transfer stuff to the bank quicker if you hit the jackpot

>>534298179
The bank works but it's tedious. Better to set yourself up properly if you're going to be doing this for a while.

Go to your main sietch. Take your assault and some materials, then go build a basic shitbox at the very beginning of the DD and park your assault there. Now log out and wait 5 minutes, then switch sietch to the base your raiding. You can now take your assault there and ferry ~1150v in a trip to the DD and go back and forth as much as you want.

>>534299309
Yeah I realized once I tried moving the loot out of there

>A mass-multiplayer survival game
You guys really enjoy this stuff?

>>534294273
What's the longest pull distance you were able to pull off?

>>534311137
Yes I like Dune. Now go back to your gacha/weeb shit generals

>>534312681
Not him but 400m. It was a pain and needed 2 spice modes but it worked.

>>534312681
I haven't tried pulling from far yet. I probably need to reskill to get lower cooldown for voice before doing that. I might not even bother if it's to far.
Another tip is to check if sardukar is patrolling, I found one base where they are at. Imagine 4 sardukar guys spamming sub-fief should be fast enough

mmmm

>>534326190
Someone paid 3 mil for a worthless resource?

kek

>>534327205
Useless? No, It's used to make power generator fuel and windtrap filters.

>>534327667
It's a byproduct you get way too much of.

I have like 50k of it and I'm a solo player.

>>534327205
>>534328009
Dupers have infinite money atm. Hell I make 3 millions each monday/tuesday selling stacks of plastone for 400 solari per unit, so they pay 200k for 500 of em. You can easily sell pump/carbide/diamond dust for 15-20k each. But the market is also fucked the other way where a lasgun and other high tier T6 gear are being sold for 5-10m+

>>534318902
How do you get this to work? They go 100m for me the. Stop shooting and attempt to run back. What am I doing wrong?

>>534333403
NTA but I managed a long one by blocking off the exit with my thopter, this forced the pathing to take a route to a dead end where the NPC bugged out back into aggro mode.

>>534333403
They can be re-aggroed in a variety of ways. Stabbing them with a scrap knife, using the pull grenade to get them stuck between generators, just waiting and getting back into their view, and lastly and most reliably, blocking their exit path with a buggy or your thopter.

None of these are 100% reliable and need to be done dozens of times in some cases.

>on dead sietch on a dead server
>no dupers to buy my overpriced recipes on exchange
>spent 6 hours trying to farm spice in the DD yesterday and came away with a grand total of 2 small spice blooms
>me and co-op friend got a single double assault haul from the titanium cluster and a single assault of strav but have been repeatedly chased away by multiple rocket scouts that up and disappear when we bring ours
so glad everything costs 500 melange to craft
very enjoyable game

>All these people selling materials for 15-20k...
ahaha...I had been selling them for 2-3k because I didn't know their price...

>>534342937
Completely depends on your auction house.

>>534342937
Buyers are hot a day or two after DD reset. If you look the AH and nobody is selling something you do don't be afraid to jack up the price to test the water. Never put something pricy beyond 3-7 days either otherwise you'll be paying high for listing. A good idea too if you use the repair glitch is to repair all the broken mk5 stuff you find in DD/Sheol and list them at a reasonable price for newbies like a mk5 rad suit for 25-30k for example

>spend 2 hours getting the fief killed of some very impressively looking base
>loot is shit
>raze the entire thing to the ground
very therapeutic

>>534277025
I had another person fly me up on their thopter as I stood on top and collected everything
>>534288676
that tower was extended 5 times up into the air
I guess i could have destroyed and moved the fief up bit by bit

>>534260001
Devs did 10% of the work and shipped the rest of the development off world. Starfield problem, rented dev studios ruined the game but are so cheap the head studio still got profit and vacations while their whole time at work was already a vacation working at their own leisure on tiny busy work.

I found an area north west of anvil and it has like 20 primrose fields in one tiny spot
I need to make like 10 decaliterjons right now and fill that shit up

>>534361286
>10 decaliterjohns
just get like 2 corpses nigga

>>534363186
Collecting dew and dumping it is going to be faster than corpse collecting next patch

Is there a new dupe going on? Hark swept my server this week within half a day and the only time they've done that previously was when they were duping spice and bought out all the reveals

Post bases?????

post bast crackan
excited for this one, first one with a med storage :)

>>534364280
The primrose fields are going to be nerfed next patch lol

not disappointed but damn this nigga is disorganized as fuck, every storage has every sort of thing imaginable
still, a few thousand plast and melage, t5 and t6 bps, about 600k solaris in cash

>>534366154
The one I just found has like 30 of the big boxes. Problem is the base is huge and I can't find the fief.

So I'll just break one box at a time by hanging from the low ceiling so the melee mob shoots at the corner of each box

after getting 6 or so bases you only sorta need to fuck up pretty bad to get your base cracked
>console easy to access
>leave production stations on to drain power
>use copious p*ntashields instead of walls and doors

I don't wanna be a victim-blaming chud but these sluts are asking for it

When can we save and load multiple bases like blueprints in factorio?
I want to be able to just keep a backup of all the different bases I made instead overwriting last one

>>534367434
Not putting walls around the thing that makes the base yours just seems insane to me. Even if it's supposed to be safe, why would you take the risk with the single most important structure.

Cut it real close lol

some faggot went and undercut me a huge amount. way to ruin the fun.

>>534369146
why are you pricing a waste product so high anyway?

They can't NPC cheese my base if I'm always at it.

>>534372891
see
>>534327667

where cna I get some half width stairs?
I want to be able to go down and up in the same cell

It's more that dupers who duped spice melange are short on residue for generators since they barely used any refineries

I looted the DD sands a bit
when can I start using these?

>>534384396
Theres a bit of everything in there related to anything T6 crafting

Goofy

>>534367434
far too many people claiming that their base disappeared even though they only were gone for a few days after they last refilled the generators
it makes me think something else is going on

>>534387650
Some of these bases had shit ton of fuel cells and lubricants
I think the power grid just fucked up and turned some generators off or something
Or they just didnt refill ALL generators and since they were at 800/800, the moment one of the generators turned off the entire base went offline
why does the game not just turn off unused shit? who knows

>>534387650
After this thread I took no chance and moved my console in my underground basement. You could actually walk straight to it through my main penta because all my doors are set to public in my base

>Penta shields take 3 Power per cell, not just 3 for the entire shield
of course
why did I think that
fuck my power went out

It's a shame they're patching npc console damage and the penta exploit fix on the same day
Imagine all the goodies we could've stolen if there was a window for us to rape all the pentaniggers

>the higher tier engines and psus are less fuel efficient
surely this is a typo or something, right
they wouldn't actually be WORSE for fuel?

wtf guys my v12 car just ate more gas than my v6
how could I have possibly seen this happening. it's absolutely over

>>534389101
Fuel is a non issue
you need to get to places fast and generate less heat while doing so.

>>534389324
Kek'd

Wouldnt it be funny if we could capture enemies and then strap them to machines at our base but instead of extracting blood we extractcum

>>534390624
I wanna milk women prisoners like I do in kenshi

>>534390624
i have been doing enough of that in rimworld haha

A single fuel cell lasts 1 hour in basic generator
but with 2 fuel cellls you can make 5 lube which lasts for 5 hours total, meaning wind turbine are turbo efficient per fuel cell
not sure about the directional turbines tho
has anyone done the maths?

>>534364732
I don't think there's a new dupe going around that is public. How many times did they lose in a row on your server? because the bonus eventually stacks up so that it's much easier to win if they lost a bunch.

>>534389324
>he doesn't run a v12 250ml engine

It's really nice how the thirst meter stops while you are at base
having to deal with that shit while building would get really annoying

I have yet to get lvl 3 in any skill
I do not even have titanium ingots

Light or Heavy armor ?

>>534391235
Many people have done the math. Fuel cells are never a consideration because if you mine a fuel block with a buggy you get 600-700 fuel cells and the fuel cube respawns within minutes.

There's youtube videos and excel spreasheets. Quit being a lazy lil bitch.

>>534409802
I accept your concession

>>534403996
put up a subfief and plop down some crates, empty then disassemble the buggy

>>534403996
How did you end up in that situation? Surely if it's filled up you're just going back to base instead of going spelunking?

>>534342937
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I UNDERSOLD DIDNT I???????????

>>534413562
I was transferring my components from old base to new base up north, the place with tons of canyons and cliffs

>>534421553
this isn't in the official soundtrack, I think it's only in the game and only in the atreides bar

>>534425527
Depends if you can get poison in prescient state I guess. Someone should test that.

>>534366981
What did you get?

>>534428685
The tutorial says Spice mode nullifies poison, so I guess the Glutton is ALWAYS high on spice.

>>534429385
A lot of plast but I only looted a few containers. Today the shields were back up so I couldn't continue.

>>534429515
Well he eat spiced up people so yeah. Also its not hard to differentiate gameplay purpose and lore stuff

>NPCs can no longer damage player-owned buildings or placeables in PVE areas.
>This fix addresses an exploit used to get NPCs to destroy other players' building pieces or subfief console.
>Players are now forced to see large bases be reduced to this because the owner might return.
i can sort of understand why they want to fix this, but this feels like such a stupid waste.

>>534436283
They should add some sort of auction for fiefs that haven't been powered/overdue in taxes.

>>534436283
The devs like seeing their game die, I guess.

>>534436691
basically, yeah alot of games go this route for some reason

>>534436283
Not being able to loot abandoned bases is the most idiotic thing funcom has done, aside from the pvp V I S I O N shit.

>>534454280
The thing is, how do you define a base as "abandoned"? Could just be an oversight, could be the owner's not able to access a system with the game on but fully intending to return. I get it, in game terms any base that's unpowered, overdue and decaying should be fair game, but it's a public relations nightmare for Funcom to allow people to loot shit someone might be intending to come back for.

>>534454543
To follow up on this, it kind of feels like there are two "camps" of devs within Funcom each trying to have it their own way: the ultra sweaty sealclubbing full-PvPers(and Joel is very likely one of these), and the more reasonable camp who realise that without PvE players their game is going to die a slow and expensive death.

>>534454543
Not paying taxes is a pretty simple way. Even a month of not paying would be good.

>>534455056
This is actually in the game. If you haven't paid taxes for a long time, others can loot your containers and if they want, take over your fief.

I've personally found two bases like that.

So once the base raid meta ends, what then?

I'm not going back to flying around for 15 minutes to find spice and then get ganked from an out of render range thopter.

>>534461958
Eh, we'll figure something new out
Funcom are bound to break some new stuff with the next patch

>>534461958
Look at your local abandoned faction building daily and monitor the hp of its chests frequently to make sure you are there at the exact moment the chests break from natural causes.

>>534467157
That would be so hard to time.

Any anons enter the building contest?

Does the deep desert skill reset bug still exist?
What are the specific steps to replicate it, i don't want to wait 2 days to fix the worthless skills I needed to do the class quests

>>534487112
Post it, I bet the Baron would actually like it because he had all types obscene art just cock and balling for everyone to see.

>>534487810
I've never reset my skills because you lose a skillpoint when you do

I mined more than enough flour sand that's still lasting me since the day the worm was broken.

Corpse runs in HB if you are doing large scale refining. You can also go to the caves in DD and pick up a few corpses if you don't intend on doing that much.

You guys aren't being toxic on reddit, are you?

How do you guys get millions of solari I can barely hold onto like 150k

>>534529353
Duping
Looting from dead bases
Selling schematics to dupers

>>534529545
Is there anyone here who has made that much without duping?

>>534529983
I do t5 schematic chest farming and launder the parts i pickup and vendor them but that's technically exploiting
Sitting at like 2m right now

>>534529983
I'm at about 20m and I haven't duped, but I made most of that selling t6 bps and spice-laced plastinium at inflated prices to what were presumably dupers.
Like, I sold pincushion leggings for 2m, regis tripleshot for 3m, etc.

>>534529983
Yes, this imageboard is just edgy.

You sell radsuits to a trader at Crossroads. Before you ask, yes you make them yourself and yes to the NPC trader.

Alternatively churn out some annoying resource like duraluminium or something and list that on the exchange. People will buy it because they don't want to wait to gather all the water and jasmium. This second method is less reliable than the first one and depends on your server's markets.

Finally, do the mission to make an mk6 cutteray, the end of the chain awards a lasgun. Sell that on the exchange for at least 2 mil (maybe more depending on your server's PvP scene). You can only do that last one once because they removed family sharing, so you can't just shit out infinite lasguns by deleting and remaking an alt.

I actually found a base where I didn't have to use prescience or any voice, this is going fast too

why

>>534529353
You dont hold any solari
you give it to the jews at the bank

>>534536789
There's a scene in the second movie where there's a bunch of other fremen women and they all look significantly more attractive and appropriate to the Chani role than her, they're even ethnically ambiguous (though if I recall the book's description has her tone fair, I may be misremembering).

>>534505624
The obsession with flour sand is bonkers. You don't only need so much to build your refineries. Plastone costs 1 silicon for fucks sake so even megaprojects aren't that expensive. And for creating power cells/lubricant it's pretty much a nothingburger. And it's not like it becomes impossible to farm. It's gonna be identical to spice.

Absolute fucking lunacy to see all these people gathering 100k flour sand.

>>534548818
>your mom
Classy.

This was a tough one to get to. The walls were so fucking high and there was no entrance without flight. My siegetower required 3 vertical stake units with a massive staircase. I pulled the NPC maybe 500m.

2k melange and 3k plastone

>>534548862
People were hoarding toilet paper irl not that long ago, what do you expect

Jesus have you guys seen the player count? Its down to 30k peak and 15k bottoming out.

>>534556178
No shit. I would've quit too if it wasn't for this base raid exploit.

>>534556178
the baffling part is that you find this surprising given the state of the game
there is nothing but busywork and griefing

>>534556882
There is an interesting thread on redditabout the griefing pointing out that in the lore, you can't attack anyone you want without declaring it first due to the Great Convention.

The fact that wasn't made a mechanic is such a lost opportunity. Players could have been forced to not attack each other in the DD unless 1. They declare war on another clan or 2. Declare a certain area to be a PvP area where they will attack (i.e. a spice field). You could have played with this a lot, to make it that clans had limits on how many they could declare war on, declare what weapons are to be used or not, how long the conflict goes for (this could be tied to spice/solari payments/ect), ect ect.

That way we could have had more knowledge/interaction between clans as well as rails to stop it being nothing but a shitty gankfest.

>>534557134
Considering the shit state of the guild and party interface, that would be quite the chore to try and put such a mechanic into the game.

>>534557134
the complete abandonment of lore and nuance makes more sense when you realize this is just Tencent (they who *wholly* own Funcom) passionlessly pumping and dumping another IP license

well, i shouldn't say abandonment of lore - what we have is an unfixable hodgepodge of brian and frank's collective writing jumbled into a horrid slurry that really doesn't work

>>534557796
Cant wait until we can use AI to just write all the code and UI elements for people so we can stop being held back by incompetence.

>>534557927
except these incompetent peoples (85 IQ jeets with fake degrees) are the ones coding your proposed savior AI.
LLM's aren't even being trained on literature and human writing anymore and are stagnating entirely into being retarded codejockies that mirror the ineptitude of the barely-humans that are presently behind their maintenance

Already cleaned up my fief. It was nothing special. A pillar with staircase going up and looping back around until it was high enough. Doors at regular intervals to trap the mob.

What? There's no faction combat. Everything that fights is hostile to you.

>>534574668
Do you raid at different sietches?
My map was pretty much clearly by someone else and no really good bases left.

Somebody stop me from just removing my subfief console, logging out and deleting this shitty game off my computer.

>>534604876
Yeah that's the reason why I built the DD base you see in the screenshot. Only easy way to get a lot of volume out from a different sietch.

>get to large bloom almost instantly because i was flying past
>start scoopin piles from the outer rim as a somewhat courtesy for anyone with crawlers who wants the innards

thank god for people that get their kicks breaking other people's shit

>>534607229
People with crawlers don't want people with compactors there, because crawlers going slow cause zero worm aggro, while compactors cause a lot.

>>534607229
Occsionally the DD mechanics do work great like that. Problem is it rarely works out that way.

>>534606870
Place a pentashield over a quicksand pit and put a big chest or a fief console at the bottom. Play with turning the power on and off on the pentashield.

>>534610937
What would that accomplish?

Did you remember the pay the monthly taxes to the Emperor?

>>534613378
You mean delete and rebuild my fief?

>>534613904
>You mean delete and rebuild my fief?

Rebuild from scratch all over again? Where do you keep all your shit to build it all?

>>534614208
I think he means deleting his fief and re placing it at the same spot before the tax day comes, thus nullifying taxes.
But that is stupid and a lot of busy work when you already have millions in bank to auto pay taxes

>>534614373
>millions in bank

Fucking how? Do I need jew magic or some shit? I'm also bad at math so I can't be helped to jew around anyway.

>>534614373
>a lot of busy work
the emperor is never getting my money

I have like 300k in the bank which is enough to pay my taxes for the rest of the year automatically (they withdraw it from your bank account on the due date automatically), the only thing I have to do is log in once every 20 days to restock my generators from a large container that has every slot filled with 500x fuel cells so I can just hit my fief and press Y and then log out. Takes longer to actually load the game and log in than it does to refresh my generators and log out.

>>534614208
Your buildings stay if you destroy the fief console. You just place it back down immediately. It costs like 50 scrap.

>>534614737
Unless you have fief extensions, then it will cost you 15k + for every block again
It's just exceedingly stupid micro when you can easily get 100k+ solari in a single day of selling shit.

>>534614502
Seliing a stack of melange is like a couple million

>>534614946
If you have an expanded fief it's ridiculous, sure. But nobody needs an expanded fief. Hell you could do everything in the game in a subfief 5x5 shitbox.

>>534614502
One pass across the top half of the map from left to right, takes around a three hours if you're in T5 armor and gear, but if you only clear out the big camps (the ones with the intel points and large chests at the end) and botanical research stations and ignore the little scavenger camp ones you should gross something around like 150k easy. Or you can jew the auction house with spice melange and T6 blueprints if your server isn't abandoned. Mine is basically empty, peak hours sees only 67 players active on my entire server, that's the ENTIRE server mind you. Only 67 players. So, the market is fucking dead as hell here.

Lol @ the poors

Go raid a base while you still can and you'll no doubt find a stack of cobalt paste even in shit tier bases which can easily sell for a quarter million even on a dead server.

>>534615625
>laughing at retards when you're the retard
imagine being so stupid you feel proud of doing this because you didn't figure out the exploits and stock up infinite wealth before the game officially even launched

>>534614502
Just use the exploit to destroy unpowered guild bases and loot all their shit.

I had 2 million before I started and I've sold maybe 5% of the shit I've found so far.
