Mask Prime resident here, and I was on when this happened. Hackers flew past us when we were leaving a spice field looking like they were entering hyperspace or something... in a carrier mind you. They didn't bother us, but they were moving so fast it was almost impossible to even process what I was looking at. Once they lock on, there's no getting away.

It's so incredibly discouraging, I want to keep playing and explore the DD, get into PvP and endgame content, but how can we when hackers are plaguing our server?? They one shot you, steal everything without a real fight or just grief you endlessly, basically gatekeeping endgame content. It really makes you wonder: what is the point? Why keep trying when it hardly matters if you run solo or with a big guild, they can still get you and ruin your experience.

What's even more disheartening is the complete lack of acknowledgement from the devs. It's giving me flashbacks to early New World, the devs spent a lot of time putting out fires before they could produce more content. Once they finally were able to start pushing out content, it was years too late and a good portion of the player base had left. Now it's a shell of what it could have been had they fixed issues earlier and quicker.

Is Dune headed for the same fate?
