    Dune Awakening

    I was wondering when this was going to happen. They had to or the game would be completely dead in a month or so

    Dune Awakening

    you really only need one base over in mysa tarill, near the ramp that goes up to the eastern shield wall, below iron watch, east of the crossroads. easy buggy accesses to almost everything, with zero worm risk. you can drive your buggy from mysa tarill to jabal easily for erythrite crystals and...

    Dune Awakening

    I don't think you do. I'm more interested in my predictions than the game itself. The game itself is mid. I don't think it's better than Ark, content wise, but I really thought it would be closer to 500k. The Dune IP, the fanboi base, and hype from the usually sources. Closer to what happened...

    Dune Awakening

    Being Dune. I was expecting this to get at least 500k concurrent users at release then drop down to about 5-10k after a month or so. Maybe this weekend. Even Ark peaked around 250k. I guess people like Dinos more than sand?

    Dune Awakening

    The game hasn't officially launch yet and reddit is already a pure salt mine over it. Wanting people banned over it, As I said it would be. Anyone with a brain could have guessed this would be a huge issue for a lot of players. Wait until you have whole guilds being dicks. A Guild of 10, being...

    Dune Awakening

    For those of you who don't know you can use a vehicle scanner or hand held scanner to find hidden treasure in the open sand. Which can get you some pretty good stuff. You can do this in the DD as well has HB. You need one of those compactor things to dig it up.

    Dune Awakening

    All the jankiness comes from the melee combat. Which is 100% avoidable if you just fly up and perch on something. It makes the game more enjoyable. The melee combat is complete trash, and annoying as heck when you are trying to fight 3 - 4 npcs at the same time. The whole melee system needs to...

    Dune Awakening

    The player count will drop faster and harder than POE2. The game gets really repetitive quickly. Most major streamers or anyone with a large guild will be done with the game in a week or two. Unless you force yourself to procrastinate, you will be mostly finished with the game in a couple of...

    Dune Awakening

    I'm sure they will try. But, as far as I know, there is no way for them to kill off a server in Dune like they do in Ark. Unless they find a glitch or hack to raid bases in the PvE areas. They could possibly figure out, with enough accounts, how to wall off the spawn area or other important...

    g-portal has dune server pre-orders listed $554 a year for a 40 slot server. 40 is the max. or $57 month to month. $111 a year for a 6 slots server. or $11 month to month.

    That's weird becuase he said that wasn't the case at all. Ole Andreas — 5/30/25, 8:20 AM The 50/50 population split per faction was incorrect info, there is no such thing.

    Dune Awakening

    The Lead Producer said it was 100 per DD server/grid. Max of 300 across all servers / the whole grid. So you can't enter that area if you are player 101 or any part of the grid if you are player 301. Now what happens to your character if you try to cross into a full server, one of the grids, who...

    Dune Awakening

    Ill drop a pic of walls blocking paths, in the Basin, when the game launches on the 5th. It happens, and it will happen a lot more when the game goes live. there are a few places where it can be really annoying. Everyone mines with a buggy including in the end game. The only difference is that...

    DD servers have a limit of 100 players. I going to say most DD servers will be one sided. The clan limit is 32.

    Dune Awakening

    most resources aren't on open sand. other than spice and flour. so yes it's fucking annoying having to drive your buggy around assholes blocking paths.

    Dune Awakening

    Private servers will share a DD map with other private servers only, and they will be coming in a post launch update. There are spice spawns in the Basin, which are easier to get to than the ones in the DD. Not having to deal with all the other players cluster fuck of buildings would be the...

    They are going to test out private servers this weekend or Monday. Hopefully the game will launch with them, or come very soon after.

    Dune Awakening

    It's not technically DD, but.. it kind of is. it's on the overland map. As soon as you get to the part of having to go to the crash site, then the whole main story becomes full blown pvp and its going to be great watching that shitshow unfold. the Hephaetous wreck, and water shippers, are both...

    For those who are wondering what the best starting class is. It's Bene Gesserit Acolyte, by far, also pick up Trooper. This will make your life so much easier getting around in the early game. Being able to climb ( Trooper, shigawire claw ) easily and sprinting ( Bene, Bindu Sprint) across the...

    Dune Awakening

    My prediction for this game. A shiftiest launch with everyone rushing to do the same things. A clusterfuck of bases everywhere. About a week or less after Jun 10th.. People getting butt hurt mad over the main story questline becoming PvP. This is one of the few places bored people will camp and...

    Dune Awakening

    That's a huge lead and enought time to complete the game. I wouldn't play on a server that's 5 days old. The main quest line takes you into PVP rather quickly. I predict tons of drama from it and people camping these quest areas. It's going to be a shitshow.

    Dune Awakening

    As it should be. But it's very easy for one person to carry everyone else. Collecting materials at a certain point is really easy. As well as crafting items when you have access to all the machinery. Exploration with others trivializes everything. Not to mention you can just walk in and loot...

    Dune Awakening

    It took me less than 40 hours, solo, to get aluminum on mass production. It goes so fast after you get the buggy, since it's so easy to mine in bulk with. Now if someone is playing with a few buddies, they are going to fly through the game in no time, WAY less time. I'm going to say there will...

    Dune Awakening

    The game has dupes. The cluster fuck of bases is annoying. The mining turret for the Buggy is a game changer, steel tier, which should be your first goal. They should just offer a single player mode or private servers, like Ark does. Knowing Funcom the dupes will make it to live. Definitely a...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You pretty much had to want to seek out lore, in EQ. I'd say most people got to 50 without knowing EQ had any lure at all. I don't remember any. Then again, I gave it up a little bit into Kunark. Not sure many people where into the questing part of EQ back then.

    EQ: Classless.

    Thats one of those things I believe every online game dev wishes they had an answer to. I have never seen it done well to this date. The rebirthing might work for a while but I'm sure most will get bored with it after a few times. I play a lot of these rebirthing games with my kids on Roblox...

    EQ: Classless.

    The rebirthing(reincarnation) system isn't rewarding enough, it's just annoying. The cube cheese, alt merc swapping, + loot stuff, and auto sell bags are nice, but the rebirthing is a game killer for me. I'd rather just be classless. But I guess that's why its Chainbreaker. Lots of good stuff...

    Good enough, I guess. Just ended up grabbing the DC upgrade for $6. You can buy it through the website, for some reason it's not available from the app.

    I'm glad these guys are doing this because, it will show how much interest there is left in a 99 EQ type game. I have my doubts. And I have said before that I hope this is 100% a passion project and is not something that they are hoping is going to pay the bills. I always wondered how many...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    From what Jeff Butler said in that 3-hour interview with Shawn, Brad wasn't truly happy with EQ, anyway. Brad wanted the game to be about exploration, more of along the lines of a MUD. The game didn't have to be hard but punishing, if that makes sense. The way MUDs were. Where you'd learn the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I wish there was a free to play mode that didn't involve V, Jack, or the main story, which sucked, where I could just do my own thing. I also wish I could make a fat slob character, like Wilson, from the gun range, or Dex. You can make a dude with boobs, or a chick with a dick. but not a fat...

    And who knows what would have happened if all those zones came out together, at the same time. I'm sure people wouldn't be as brainwashed as they are today with " MUH Guk ". Guk was the place to be because it was what we had at the time, the gear was some of the best, it was easy to access, and...

    Just have similar items drop off of different named mobs and bosses. Drelzna drops Jboots, and some Named female Centaur, let's call her Kate, drops Kate's Hoof Boots, Hboots, etc. Instancing is just a combination of laziness, being in a rush, and poor game design. Not sure why a game like this...
