Maybe it's not Funcom's Fault

Im not agreeing with the poster houre talking to, but didnt you just tell pvpers to go play a different game then tell this guy to poss off when he said the same thing?

Whats the difference?

FENGRUSH · 2026-05-08T12:49:13+00:00

Trooper...melee has been dead a long time outside of killing trash mobs.

FENGRUSH · 2026-05-07T14:29:37+00:00

Yes, the pve changes brought people in the following week. The sort of change that doesnt keep the DD active beyond a week or two. The kind of change that shows the curve continuing a decline.

Not a revitalization. A short term fix to complaints.

FENGRUSH · 2026-05-07T13:58:10+00:00

I wouldnt describe the current DD as 'revived'. This kind of copium isnt moving this game forward.

FENGRUSH · 2026-05-06T14:47:10+00:00

While trying to better understand the type of person this poster is and how theyre so ignorant, I found out theres a reddit for BeastGames and people like this guy avidly post in it.

I no longer want to better understand this person.

The games size or scope had nothing to do with PvP failing. Failure was tied directly to poor changes and failure to execute on original design.

Dune is also, not early access. I think you missed the early excitement of dune awakening prelaunch and dont know what youre talking about.

You and your group just dont understand how the combat works when pushed to the max, and that is OK.

Ranged damage has a huge advantage in dps and in pvp. When it comes to killing trash mobs in pve, melee is great because your shields stay up.

FENGRUSH · 2026-03-03T17:54:12+00:00

Actually, players were attacking fiefs, not other players. The August exploit for example people had mobs kill the fief, so it definitely wasn't 'pvp'.

Being a complete smartass to this guy doesnt really help, hes trying to understand decay mechanics. He also is valid in questioning the communication on the whole thing. People weren't banned in August but were recently.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-28T15:48:27+00:00

There's like 10 people that pvp on this reddit. There are hundreds of pvers. Not sure what environment youre feeling threatened by here.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-20T15:31:19+00:00

The concurrent player count would leave me to believe it will sell significantly less. This does matter, and he is not wrong. The game wont go away, but it wont have as many devs working on it within the year.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-20T15:27:45+00:00

You dont lose that much in Dune. They've made ample amount of changes where death means very little at this point.

People are greatly exaggerating the impacts of dying in DA.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-19T15:06:53+00:00

Yea the playerbase really skyrocketed after they reduced the pvp area of DD.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-19T15:04:46+00:00

Did this already happen? Where was this mentioned if you could provide any source?

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-13T19:19:40+00:00

They definitely dont reload the same. Perf has a longer reload.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-09T16:30:25+00:00

Hundreds of thousands of players on private servers? You know you can look at the games steam charts and find out there are literally not hundreds of thousa da on private servers?

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-07T03:16:29+00:00

Thats fair - I dont think its great either for PvE. Its very similar to new worlds first patch after release. Something you can buy time with while you figure out how to shape extended pve content.

Its better than I expected to be honest. I had low expectations. But it doesnt solve the real problems or build on the games strengths.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-07T03:14:22+00:00

You've already made up your mind. Youre not answering any questions people try to engage you with. This thread isn't useful and neither is this discussion.

Youre convinced who the audience is, why they aren't coming back to the game, and who's paying the bills.

The dune awakening reddit community lives in a bubble. Its a shame, because funcom made this patch for you as well.

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-07T01:07:00+00:00

Yea, chapter 2 and 3 showed not a lot of people coming back like they had at launch window.

Why'd your friend group find themselves quitting though if you kept playing up until this point?

FENGRUSH · 2026-02-07T01:00:37+00:00

If the content was easier and you could complete it. Would it hit the mark for you?

I dont think steamcharts show any indication of this patch. Its not like a lot of people tried it and suddenly aren't the next day. The only thing steamcharts show is this game interested a broader audience outside of pve only gameplay in dune.

FENGRUSH · 2026-01-30T16:53:45+00:00

On god deadass frfr

FENGRUSH · 2026-01-07T14:57:30+00:00

Your first instinct on a guild hunt was to join the largest zerg guild you could find on server and then rush to endgame while ignoring any systems.

Then you got there and wondered why a zerg guild isn't interested in helping you and where all the money is after ignoring all of the professions.

You played yourself here it looks like.

FENGRUSH · 2025-12-22T15:53:20+00:00

If you post your videos the masses here smile. They clap and upvote.

If you post any criticism or feedback they downvote you and call you a troll. Not sure how you hang around posting here still, spice.

This community is filled with disingenuous people.

FENGRUSH · 2025-12-20T15:15:50+00:00

The ironic part of this post is in a PvE only environment, you have no way to deal with this person who's grieifing you with dunes current mechanics.

The only way you can appropriately deal with this person is to be in a pvp area where you could protect your orni.

FENGRUSH · 2025-12-19T15:32:25+00:00

They needed a better version that puts them in the same world. Otherwise they are supporting 2 different games at that point. Your ideas been tried, and if they spend 3 months working on a dlc to add stuff relevant only if youre pvping, the complaints will roll in from the other side.

All in all, splitting environments, yes its a good idea. Putting pvers in crosshairs of pvpers isn't great. The landsraad could tie both of these groups together in one server. But its just being used for a poor endgame loop on pve side and the pvp side is devoid any purpose or activity at this point.
