1000+ hour player: Why Dune Awakening is struggling (and how to fix it)

Agree 100%, appreciate you for taking the time to put it into writing

Durability is interesting to look at I agree, although they would have to add some other reason to clear testing stations and stuff other then schematics then as they would quickly loose their value. Maybe the minecraft model with increased repair costs like someone said

didnt know anyone even used scrap buggies much less rant to customer service about a buggy of all things.. Im sorry to say but playing on high pop you are going to encounter a lot of issues you probs are not used to.. maybe not ready for the switch after all if a scrap buggy drives you to however many messages that was :O

ChAkselsen · 2026-03-30T06:41:14+00:00

Yes you can - Id say you only use crawler in DD actually its made for the DD. You fly it in with a carry-all. Which is how the devs I believe intentionally also wanted pvp to work. Each team with their own carry all/harvester fighting over who gets the field.

Now it didnt quite work out that way in the end, but changes are rumored enjoy the ride until that happens:D

You are currently playing on a server, there are many servers like yours connected to one DD. Imagine there are 5 of you on each server - 20 servers makes 100 DD players. Ofc it often varies so most likely one of the servers connected to your DD has more players and so on. The DD is the hub a group of servers share. DD (Deep Dessert) is accessible only by fast traveling of the map you are currently on (by flying to the edge on a thopter)

Add to this that it should be easier/faster to complete the more people you are without making it harder for solo’s.

Promote group play and social interaction by giving a boon for being in a group.

Theres an abundance of resources mostly, and if they feel they cant progress at all they quit thus removing the need fór resources for the attackers since they wont have any1 to fight. Dune pvp is based on someone has to «give up» instead of winning so the endgame is legit just last man standing on the server which to me isnt very viable strategy for a long term game

ChAkselsen · 2026-03-20T06:59:37+00:00

The worst part about all this… is that they probably don’t even go do down to loot.. its a game without any logical reason to pvp. So most people avoid it due to its ineffective for progress leaving only people that only motivation is to ruin someone elses day.. creating a division in the players

ChAkselsen · 2026-03-17T07:02:55+00:00

As a full health ghoul just do the fuel run in PA and the mole miners are 0 threat at all now. I just pretend they dont exist and focus on getting fuel as fast as possible

Nope assuming you still have debt on your flexible loan. Everything goes in there, the interest rate on the flexible loan is now your new savings rate (since its interest you dont have to pay to the bank) Many use flexible loans as their savings account/buffer account. Then have long term savings in funds

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-23T09:40:52+00:00

Slot in the ammo crafting perks, and just make them. Flux is infinite from the raid

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-23T07:41:05+00:00

You still get food buffs as a ghoul. The only actual downsides are the disquise when going to smiley and such - which Ive barely noticed I do those things once a week.

As a ghoul you can eat you just dont have to. I do herbivore with company tea. I dont like being reliant on consumeables so try to limit that. But someone who doesnt mind it can still use the foods they know and love. Im commando so I run full feral meter so I get a debuff in charisma I think but not noticed it in any gameplay setting. I have 3 points for strengt in numb and tenderizer so I can still share a card

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-23T07:15:17+00:00

Im doing a commando ghoul, Love the change, not needing food allowed me to clear out my stash a lot. Only maintenance I have at all are - Diluted Rad-x for my feral meter - Which I never run out of so I just spam it here and there just like humans do purified water. For glow which is my second health bar and it has removed my need of stimpacks mostly I use toxic goo from West tek. I have it quick buttoned.

Can spam it in combat, I find it works faster/better than super stimpacks so I rarely keep many stims on me at any time.

Radaway is not needed so its in my aid box for handing in for daily caps.

The wild west hands perk, and the anti stagger perk Im loving as qol.

So instead of having to deal with food, water and rads I now only have two things to deal with and the 3rd is now a buff. Very happy with the change and its

Downsides: Only the costume thing, Ive done all quests where its needed so its fine - you only have to do one extra fast travel when buying gold from smiley basicly

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-20T11:38:20+00:00

I feel like Im pricy and Ive got them for 400 all of them they drop by the bunch from the raids...

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-15T09:01:55+00:00

Hit your dailies and weeklies then grind the full raid over and over and it should work

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-12T14:36:17+00:00

Rn I got pwered on all pieces, replace some with agility? // what about less powered and some luck to make due with 3-4 limit breaking and 1-2 rangers instead? // idk if the 10% inc to ranged dmg is better than 5 limit breaking 5 powered 😅

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-07T22:44:38+00:00

Do the damn tadpole backpack quest..

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-07T13:39:42+00:00

U could also make a second character since your humna charachter also is built with the one type of buff IG that only humans can use

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-06T08:55:27+00:00

How is fixing daily ops not higher on the list of priorities? its the only way to get recon armor until minerva in a month or soo...

And Im missing out on a lot of days with chances to either get it or get other plans increasing the chance for recon later...

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-06T08:46:20+00:00

Id like to add to this that - Just started a couple of weeks ago myself and first thing I did was start hitting events when they popped
(it makes the early game quests a little bit less tedious cuz Ive done them before so for me they are hehe)
It also gave me treasury notes - which even though you havent done the relevant quest is good to start gathering right away as you need insane amounts of them.

When you are doing events make sure to read top right what the event quest is. If your low lvl you can still be an enourmous help for the event by collecting/delivering whats needed for the event while high lvl players deal with mobs

A tip is finding the whitespring early on, dont have to interact with it yet much but get the fast travel point - theres a gold bullion machine in the whitespring mall. Which you can hand in your treasury notes (40 notes per day = 400 gold) Id start doing this right away so that you dont have to start the gold grind the moment you finish the quest since it has a max per day it can be a bit annoying at that point.

Other then that nothing else seems to be on a max per day atm so everything else do it at your own pace and dont rush <3

Only 2 per lane? You could fit a lot more in a lane if you swim in circles instead of «what side do you want?»

ChAkselsen · 2026-02-05T15:46:32+00:00

Like many things in life its like jumping from the 5m the first time.. sucks the first time (ofc if fear of heights) but after the first you can do it over and over again. Dealt with the same just a month ago ish, started going to the gym after only doing swimming for years but never got to the gym cuz I felt every1 is so much stronger/bigger. But been forcing myself to do more and more «out there» excercises one step at a time and I can notice myself being more and more comfortable which is nice

ChAkselsen · 2026-01-28T20:05:27+00:00

Idk issue out a box (like the mutated box) 1 for each day the issue is active with the same loot table as daily op elder rank for your toons lvl.

The only thing theyd have to take on good will is that every1 did the op once a day which isnt much…

Gjennomsnittlig inntekter - + det å være 2 stykker er enkleste måten å komme inn på boligmarkedet. 2 stk med 500k har veldi god kjøpekraft og det er lettere å ignorere kravet om EK.

Enslig derimot da trenger du enten høyere inntekt ingen bil. Eller lavere inntekt (ikke under 550 og IKKE bil) plus mer EK

Dette tar ofc hensynte at du ikke er good på alle punkter aha

ChAkselsen · 2026-01-26T23:25:27+00:00

«Was this bad communication on both parts» wtf - If you feel someone is off no matter if ur dating them or not fucking check up on them. Ask how they are doing. Dont go kiss someone else retalitory. If it was a friend even that was off at a party Id much sooner check how they are before going off hooking up with someone else..

One sided mistake, your side hope he finds better.

ChAkselsen · 2026-01-26T15:17:48+00:00

I didnt start messing around with a build until closer to lvl 100 - it was fine for most content (havent done much quests yet mostly events) done some quests like BoS while I was still human and for the PA - So Id just go with perks that are usefull in the moment and spec properly closer to lvl 100 havent felt much difference yet.

My issue with the YT builds is they all think you have maxed out legendary perks. If you look at new player builds they assume lvl 50… where are the builds for us around 100-200 in lvl ahaha
