There's 100 person PVP zones. That's either an MMO or a Battle Royale. And there ain't no chicken dinner.

Honestly who cares, unless he is just being anal retentive about where the thread is on the forums like some people get.

I'm must looking to have fun in a survival game that has some sci-fi to it. Anything after that is just a bonus.

Call it whatever the fuck you want. I don’t play single shard survival games where my character and progression is tied to “Billy Bobs faggotfest East”.

This isn’t that game - I’ll be playing.

Stream up atm of some devs playing, happened to click in and see what was going on and saw this :

Apparently a mining buggy. Either 1 person can drive and then switch to the laser on top to mine ore, or 2 people with one driving and one manning the laser. I do wish the switch to laser and driver was 1 quick button, so easier with 1 person, but it showed you had to go through the pop up circcular UI hud and select your option.

Wish I had got a SS of some of the bases built on the beta server. Some of them were awesome and massive.

You can place claim blocks near each other with guild members, so in theory you can make massive guild bases

Some of the bases on beta server that they chose for people to vote on during that stream. Was able to go back and get some SS of it. Need a player stand on each one to get real scale though.

You can get an approximate size based on the doors -submission D looks huge. Not sure how many claim blocks that is, but has to be at least 20ish

I'm probably at about 40 hours of game time in the beta, with half of that just building.

This game is janky fun. Arrakis is neat and the scale is awesome - seeing the worm for the first time is pretty neat. I think this game will do really well with all the Dune + survival buzz, despite the shit combat and jank.

Lol yep. By the time I noticed, the little giveaways were over.

Seems there will be a lot given away during their live stream saturday, so basically miss a day but seems best bet to try it out.

Just saw an update - preorder people were making a ruckus about not getting invited so they will be giving beta access to people who preordered

Fun game, these survival games just grab me so easily. Put almost 8 hours today, without realizing it. About in line with what I was expecting.

No crashes, no real bugs yet for me. But again its only open to the 2nd zone, which I just entered.

I fully expect this to be like conan exlies, where I put in close to ~200 hours before just hitting a wall. Which seems pretty normal for survival games, as you just get to a point where you did everything and got everything. Not sure how they expect this to be different, sure you can pvp and the desert gets wiped weekly, but once you have built it all and gotten everything, there just isnt anymore carrot.

Only thing is just more maps, expanding content and the story, which is things people come back for not play forever until they show up. As they take time to create.
