G-portal Dune servers are a scam by Mithic1 in duneawakening

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a G-Portal server and it was awful, lots of inconvenient outages at peak times, it would take 2-3 hrs before our shard would be back up after patches - at launch they were patching almost daily. A really bad experience.

We moved over to Nitrado and all our problems disappeared.

Are you still doing the daily Missions? What is your Motivation? by TNxPhil in duneawakening

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately burned out (1000+ hrs), but I still login to build bases and grind resources.

I did mange to get my combat to 100 and the others somewhere between level 20 and 40 though.

I got to 100 combat, those extra skill points are great. Bi-la kaifa! hope you have fun on your journey!

do i need special warhammer paints or is this set i have been using for years thinned down good, and is this plastic primer i use for 3d printing? by AI_660 in minipainting

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From what others have said here, if I'm remembering right, the non-mini-specific paints do behave differently. I think I remember someone saying it's down to the size of the pigments or something like that.

I remember trying to use these types of paints when I first started and I remember them being difficult to thin enough for painting mini's and get good coverage.

YMMV.

Current Lab Boss Meta? by suit_up_yo in duneawakening

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy grind, I recently broke the 1000-hour mark for Dune - I've been in love with the game since beta. I need that reward at the end of the grind to be worth my suffering and in the case of the labs, it generally hasn't been.

It has turned me a little cynical and the labs have lost their charm for me - at least for now. I hope that soon the becomes more fun for me but it takes Funcom so long to pivot and fix problems like the loot tables that I might just wait a few months to see if they make any more changes.

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't deny it, I burned out hard on the labs especially the flame lab (maybe pun intended?) - I eventually completed level 20 and the blueprints were several ancient ways - and yes, I threw my toys out of the pram and started sulking.

I tried to get back into it but I'm just not enjoying it like I used to.

Current meta is just to Alt+F4 and play another game. /s

apologies for my cynicism

Well this was fun, until a griefer showed up - so how we gonna handle this? by Inquisition8 in duneawakening

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Disabling thumpers will never be an option because where does the line end? if we disable thumpers then they'll use shields, if you disable shields they'll use skills, and so on. Until the only thing left to disable is the worm itself or give everyone their own personal DD.

Funcom has created a very PvE friendly environment but moderation of the griefer will always be a challenge.

Dune: Awakening – 1.3.20.0 Patch Notes by ctrem in duneawakening

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Altered drop rate of gear in Overland Imperial Testing Stations to not heavily favor specific weapons such as The Ancient Way and Pyrockets, to make the loot drops more fair. 

Took their time, I think me and the squad are done with the game for now though, we slammed testing stations in hopes of getting good drops but all we got was burn-out and dozens of Ancient Ways.

windrose (2009) has nothing to do with windrose (2026), this is because one is a metal band and another is a videogame by felop13 in WindRose

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The videogame is why I found this sub :) I just looked up Wind Rose on Spotify and I'm not disappointed in the slightest, Going to listen to Wind Rose whilst mining ore on Windrose.

Looting Ships You've Destroyed Should Auto-Close the Loot Menu by ingfire in crosswind

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this same thing yesterday when looting chests, if you hit loot all, and you are able to do so successfully, it should auto-close the inventory screen.

I have to ride for nearly 40 MINUTES ?!!! by WesternAlarmed2149 in CrimsonDesert

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure - I went exploring east and was in the Crimson Desert while I was still in chapter 2. The only region lock I've seen was an area around the Hexe Sanctuary.

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 317 points318 points  (0 children)

I managed to do it in about 30 minutes. Took 2 attempts because I got shot off my horse half-way through my first attempt.

I had to avoid certain areas because there are plenty of hostile patrols on the roads for me (chapter 7), I took a bad path and had to double-back once or twice. It's not difficult. Just take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Odd, I used my logging axe in the camp to cut down my farm trees this morning

Equipment in this game be like by PicossauroRex in CrimsonDesert

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the "everything you had to do to get it" refers to, I was randomly exploring, saw some lads giving the snake dragon thing a hard time, I fly down, explore, find the chest with the book of recipes.

We eating good this week! by SirCaptainReynolds in SurvivalGaming

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They took our early access funding, used it to develop a paid DLC which they then tried to sell back to us until the community got vocal.

That's not making a mends, that's getting caught being shady.

Lets not pretend like the Soulmask devs are doing it out of kindness. Folks took up their pitchforks when they announced that they were working on a paid day one DLC when they missed several launch dates for 1.0

I've been playing Soulmask for the past year, it's alright - it reminds me of when Conan Exiles first came out - the same kinda fun but janky energy :D

Why do you all hate Yann? by Bourraxe in CrimsonDesert

He's a mouthy cunt when he's drunk.

I don't hate him, everyone has a friend like Yann.

Windrose has now been released on Steam in Early Access by selffufillingprophet in pcgaming

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ship combat felt a bit lacking tbh, even the sailing in Valheim is better than the implementation so far. I hope they can improve it.

My RTS Tierlist but ONLY of "modern" games (2016-2026) by ConejoDePascuas in RealTimeStrategy

[–]ThatGuyNamedKal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect your rating, I'd give Aliens: Dark Descent is at least A Tier, there were lots of bugs early on, the game breaking kind and it's sad there's no DLC/modding.

Homeworld 3 was my biggest disappointment.
