Dune Awakening

So I am downloading the game. I need something new to play and I love this universe. The game seems to be getting over all positive reviews.

Any Basic suggestions? I like that sniper is a viable choice as that was my specialty in Cyberpunk. Is there a server everyone is playing on?


Does this game compile shaders every time?

I asked the same the other day about Landsraad. Nothing explains the system whatsoever. I think it's limited to guilds maybe?

How does one engage in the Landsraad system? I feel like there is a ton of shit I'm just flat out missing. Is there a bread crumb quest leading to that I missed?

Guilds only. You could make a one man guild if you wanted. You have to declare your guild to a faction (ideally the faction you aligned it). Your faction does the stuff in the square to try to claim it. You can’t see the progress of the opposition faction. Hand ins you do at faction quartermaster in Hagga, collect personal rewards from the individual house reps. Winning faction of lansgrad gets the perk that is voted

Right now it’s hand ins, kills, or control point controls. They plan to change it to make it more complex and meaningful for solos

Shaders yes (checks before launch, compile after update)

As for classes, you can mix and match skills. You start with a class tree and can find trainers that unlock the other trees after quests. General summary: trooper is guns and nades and mobility, with specialities in heavy weapons, shotguns, drill shots, and disrupters. Mentat is guns, poison, shields, and turrets/drones with specialties with rifles and sniping. Sword master is melee, bene geserit is melee and voice powers. There is other stuff too but you can mix and match

Finally went to the actual Deep Desert (not just the wrecks and labs in row A). I've got to say, all my gnashing about PVP is misguided. The real problem with the Deep Desert is it's boring as fuck.

Like, holy shit, I'd read about people flying a lot, but I wasn't really appreciating it. I just wanted some spice and had to fly all the way out to row H to find some. Gathered about 2k, worm appeared, waited a bit, gathered another 2k...and then fly all the fucking way back.

This is their great concept for endgame? Fighting over meaningless empty desert?

That’s why there is PvP - the only real risk out they are other players (or trying to solo a testing station in the PvP section of DD lol)

Pvp section of deep desert is boring until you lose all your shit + vehicle to some cockbag in a scout with rockets, then you realize it isn’t going to be easy farming

That's another failure of this end game system they've built. "We want people engaging in the guild content" and yet, no way to search for guilds in game. Cool.

Yes, it’s something that was mentioned in the AMA

Best bets are old fashioned way: ask in chat. If there is a guild on your sietch that is best since you don’t have to travel to a different sietch. I joined some random guild I met in deep desert after the first guild I joined had some way too intense dude trying to arrange spice harvesting and no one ever used ingame chat, just discord (I really don’t want to sit in fucking discord voice chat 24/7)

Cutray and vehicle mining stack, so may want to look into that if you do buggy mining . Compactor yields is good for spice. I’d dump power pack recharge and climbing stamina as trade offs

I’m completely overhauling my character. Fuck melee. Just when I think I’ve got it, it janks out.

I’ll post my new built in a bit.

To anyone just starting out, you can respec for free every 48 hours. And when you do, if you’ve unlocked a second class, the initial problem of the game forcing you to choose your second skill tree from the same class can be ignored. Just go straight to the other class. My buddy started as a Trooper, and ended up only wanting the claw from the entire class.
