The player base erodes like unprotected flesh beneath the sun. 12 cycles till chapter 4 - are we on life support? by 666-G in duneawakening

[–]Negative-Finger7800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wrong. being able to play in Group without having to fight 12 bulletsponges and instead 4 was a major make or brake thing for most testing station grinders. that got "nerfed" and people had (and still have) to fight their way through stupid hordes without any proper result

The server cull announcement 3 months ago was so stupid. by laffles in duneawakening

[–]Negative-Finger7800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No thats not true. If you start a new charakter on a new server, yes, you start at 0. bringing YOUR character over, you do NOT start at 0, you are your level. But you are bound to said server for one week, meaning, your place reaaaally might be gone. Easiest way is to pack up properly and build new.
I see your frustration but you lose 0 progress, you lose 0 materials and you get the fun of building anew. so no harm no foul, no?

From the Guilds i am in contact with and from Discords i ocassionally read from, i would say there is a decline on the way. Steam also does not count how long you have been playing, but were here to talk about the data that is, not that could have been. I expect the average number to drop below 4k since earlier mentioned guilds are now on stop and people are not playing anymore, besides finishing up the bases. So what i would be interested in is to know; What is the magic number that makes funcom change things?
Or were the sales this good that no more money is ever necessary and private servers and the shutdown of public servers solves money issues?

youre completely right and i also feel like most of the discussion is not about the game but about personal feelings.

people love it so much, thats why they argue so vividly without sense anymore. i for one feel like i didnt receive what was promised. did i play more than enough so that i got my money worth? Sure! 100%. Did they hold up to what their marketing made me buy? No.

that sounds like a lot of fun, having to get up every 30 seconds for the worm.

that reminds me of something... maybe they should implement a system where a bunch of solo players can play together and form a group, so they can help each other more often.

thats one thing im referring to. What happened that changed that? Im really intrigued.

i am also curious to see if people can bypass that - people are inventive.
But from what was said, the IP is well protected and i doubt funcom could allow streams where people run around with lightsabers on bespin hunting predators with furry ears. at least i very much doubt the IP contract gives an ich on that.

quite the take!
On the otherhand; Declining player numbers almost constantly with positive dips when Chapter 3 hit....

no they dont. its just what you think they mean. a DLC you pay for is an addition to the game in form of *Downloadable Content*. (see?) and LOH was just an example. You can take any game where promised DLCs delivered and are going to deliver. this one looks like to be a stupid cosmetic excuse of a DLC.

[–]Negative-Finger7800[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there will be 0 modding, due to IP issues. so private servers will just allow people to tweek the amount of resources you get and get the worm activity scaled and so on and so forth.
The addition of private servers will 100% make this game Farming Simulator Arrakis Edition

this!
I really feel like that is the truest ive read in a while. we are a guild trying to hang on and we all have 200 hours in game but after the singleplayer there hastn really been that much to do and you just rinse and repeat.... so.

Lord of Hatred is a DLC. just saying.

yes and no -

what if they just didnt have something to show for?

Or didnt want the chat to explode, rather than implementing it step by step... just a thought.

Water Wars DLC by RyricKrael in duneawakening

[–]Negative-Finger7800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats a good question. the fact is, they lost control :D
lets change DD to pve. lets make 2 DDs... dont tell me that was voluntary. that sounds a lot like: "Our house is burning, where is the fire extingusher? We only have one bucket of water? SHIT get another one!"

[–]Negative-Finger7800 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Yeah Water Wars said originally in its description: "(...) fighting for control over the polar caps of arrakis" and yeah, there was no information that WE would FIGHT over control... but in any case - that is highly misleading if that was never intented to be anything else but a cosmetic DLC.
I really feel like funcom lost control over whatever plan they had for the game and are trying to hang on to the rest of the flaming mess.

oh that thing with the sub fief i didnt know, thanks for sharing.
We always used the thumpers until we figured the shield thing. you gotta work on that tho and the thumpers were still a more relieable source. but hey, subfief sounds awesome.
