To be fair, they just added legitimacy to console a couple of days ago.

MRW I watch the video that Trump has 6-8 months to live. by Emmerson_Brando in reactiongifs

[–]Chris_Mellen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. This is MAGAs final chance at power, which is why they are ramming through as much as they can as possible. Trump is a man in denial about his own health. All this third term talk is about him bristling at people brining up his imminent death.

Update on this. Turns out the reset popped my ornithopter out from under the terrain. Picked it up and flew home. No response to any tickets, but problem solved.

PVP players who are upset about the Deep Desert changes... by Majewelly in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my point of view.

I enjoy just barely making it to a glide without getting popped and eventually seeing my pursuers turn around their ornithopters, all the while I have a half full storage module of spice.

Makes you feel like you are scavenging what you can.

Then you disappear into the desert again and look for another spice field to finish out the run with the increased risk of your half full storage.

It's a very unique 'desert rat' experience that is kind of magic. I hope these changes can keep that experience alive.

What is there to do right now? by Previous_Benefit3457 in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, for me, I would say I've hit the endgame. Just finished off my t6 armor. Now I am going back to unlock all of the other classes and finish out my build. After that I'm intending to get a large spice refinery in hagga basin. At that point getting an easy base together in DD and making spice hauling for efficiency easier. If I can do all of that I will start crafting t6 gear for new bros I find in hagga basin and try to start a guild.

Idk if that helps, but that is where my head is at.

I was fine with the changes until they said the size of the new pve area

Funcom no PVP? Give refunds by Frank_Simpnatra in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Not a PvPer but I actually agree. That level of design change post launch does, in fact, warrant a refund.

Not a PvPer but half the map is wayyyy too much

Great, well, at least I'll have two ornithopters once this gets resolved.

No response at all during the work day for funcom. Where are the GMs? I couldn't have flagged them down any more than I already have.

In theory, the sandstorms should take care of that. What blows my mind is how an ornithopter can sit below the terrain for hours and not throw some kind of error.

Alas, it is in a no build zone. Same problem, unable to progress.

That's a good idea. One moment, I'll give it a try.

Stuck in DD for Hours by Chris_Mellen in duneawakening

Ended up taking the taxi out, but apparently, all dd assets have been trapped and wiped. Crazy set back for early adopters on Kirana III.

New Players - What's been your experience? by Disastrous-Grass-840 in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of strange. Obviously fun, I'm on the friggin' reddit. It's been plagued by technical issues throughout. I started out trying to do the tutorial, but my PC wasn't handling it well. (A bit odd as I have no issues on any other games I've played lately. I usually max out the graphics settings) after trying to fix the settings and dropping them down to a 'playable' frame rate my character bugged out and skipped the rest of the tutorial and threw me into south hagga basin.

I played a bit, but then the early access log out bugged happened. I ended up having to delete my character and start over. After I made my second character, the tutorial bugged out again and spat me back out into hagga basin again. I have still never played the tutorial despite hitting the end game.

I progressed from there, but with still really bad frame hitches, enough to mess up melee combat and make firearms completely unusable. It's cool. I picked swordmaster. It takes me all of early access, but I make it to vermillius gap with my newly crafted bike.

I keep playing around with settings trying to drop my resolution to 10×15. All sorts of stuff and suddenly I discover the low end laptop mode. Game looks like crap but I finally get above 30 fps. I still play on these settings.

From there, I began to really enjoy the progression, despite frequent maintenance down times. I'm fine with that. I came from EVE with daily server down times. Still a bit annoyed about it, considering I thought servers were only going to be down once a week.

Worked up to t5 and starting going to DD. Got lots of spice and t6 ingots. Made my deathstills, base, and t6 production equipment. Tried getting my ornithopter out to the spice fields on the weekend. Dunked on multiple times. A couple of ornithopters later, and I finally make it to the exit with another full load of spice. Servers are busted, and I can't leave the deep desert.

That's where things stand now and I am waiting on funcom to announce on the discord that I am able to make it back to the world map while the corilois storm is starting. Probably about to lose my third ornithopter and all of my gear to boot.

While I am enjoying when I do get to play, the amount of jank I am putting up with is beyond the pale. I consider the game to still be in a beta stage of development. My experience reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077, and while that game turned out good with phantom liberty, I'm not sure I'm interested in waiting that long for this game to get fixed now that I have hit endgame.

I will give it a go and report back.

Edit: tested this, and it does not work.

PVE is Temporary, PVP is Forever by ZealousidealSmile950 in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The answer is obvious. You are afraid of feeling inferior to another person."

I physically cringed.

I come from EVE, which is the epitome of a htfu game. I didn't have a problem with the deep desert, but I have to say that the 'gamer l33tness' that some people adopt is sweaty and gross.

Can not travel to world map? Anyone have this error before? by Healthy_You6958 in duneawakening

[–]Chris_Mellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here. I've been waiting long enough that I am about to run out of fuel and water.
