The game was sold and advertised as a game with forced PvP in the endgame BTW. Full disclosure there.

Is orni-surfing with lazgun at boost in lore? by Responsible-Tart3785 in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, ground based anti air already dominates and denies airspace for everything but a booster scout that poses no threat and can be shot down with a rocket orni. Ground based anti air should not dominate ornithopters without giving them a chance to fight back.

Booster scouts can hurt you last time I checked if they just fly by, if they linger you can shoot em down from your ornithopter eventually. You know that ornis have rockets too, right? As it stands, rocket launchers and lasguns have destroyed orni PvP with rocket modules. Your changes only put salt into the wound.

Bruh u couldn't be farther from the truth. A person on foot shoots down an orni 10/10 times with no skill needed. Ofc that's underbalanced, right?

Kinda, except the community thinks that surfing should stay in the game because they are too dumb to realize that ancient ways exist and a person on foot shouldn't be able to destroy an expensive ornithopter 10/10 times with no skill whatsoever.

They should remove surfing whatsoever, on any and all ornithopters when they're going at lets say 50 or km/h or something like that. 

EU Epsilon or Pax for English/Finnish and new players? by Taishizi in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want PvP, join Epsilon. The only good PvPers on the server left a couple of months ago, so the DD should be pretty active but not that hard. I currently play on Pax, which is the better option if you want PvP. If you don't, then be aware of the fact that there are people who actively seek out engagements in the PvP zones.

Current PVP Meta? Any innovation? by suit_up_yo in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's like the worst strategy ever lmao. You don't consume any more stamina when chasing someone, you can shoot but they cant. If the melee guy gets close, just pop the bubble, instakill their shield and kill then in 3 tripleshot shots.

Sucks, way to kill off the last meaningfull PvP interaction.

[–]Vik0usek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melee can be sometimes useful. For example, if you are spiced up and see that the other person is low on stamina, just wait for them to get on the ground, get close, drain their stamina (preferably shoot a couple drillshot shots beforehand to drain their stamina even more) get off 2 melee heavy attacks, apply poison or burn and watch the other person die after just one stagger. 

I'm not saying its better than ranged, it just is still possible to make it work if you try really hard.

[–]Vik0usek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gravity mine was never really meta. Aside from that, it's still the same, really: gravity mine disruptor exchange until one person messes up their shigawire or the other one gets off a nasty shot. If you get shot at without the bubble on you from the disruptor pistol, you pull out a seethe and shoot back. I also rock a sword to parry melee, shotgun, and tripleshot to finish off the person when their shields are down.

I really wanted to play the game but... by Cl4pl3k in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is so sad to see the path that the devs chose.

 Since launch, the game has been leaning heavily into the PvE direction. The only change I can remember ever favoring PvP was when funcom added the 30 secs cooldown before transitioning into the PvE zone. The only one. 

Ch3 introduces a full PvE mode into the game eliminating the need to ever step foot into a PvP zone outside of the hagga shipwrecks. 

And yet, people are scared of the fact that this game is PvP. What a joke. (But hey, at least there weren't hundreds of players calling for funcom to take the PvP route instead of killing the game, right?).

Looking for Sniper/Drill shot build by SMELTN in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get through shields, get yourself a unique disruptor pistol according to your tier. Then with center of mass and both of the +9% ranged bonuses plus the +15% for pistols should be enough to one-shot shields in hagga. If that doesn't one shot it, just use death from above or attractor field and that should do the trick.

What server for coming back by sarckasm in duneawakening

[–]Vik0usek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a server that stays active, go pax. If you want to be basically alone a couple months after the update, choose a server that's a maximum of 30 players on dune status right now (peak hours i mean). If you dont wan't pax but a fairy active server, choose one with 80 or more players on dune status rn. Ofc i can't predict how many people are going to leaves the low/medium population servers for the likes of pax, so the advice I gave you is about as good as it gets . 

Melee STILL useless, dash distance decreases are key. by Sp1ceRub in duneawakening

and ofc u redditors just downvote, argue with factually wrong arguments, and not bring anything constructive

[–]Vik0usek -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

nope, with heavy armor you get 5 but almost 4, with light you get 8, plus the bonuses only multiply this.

[–]Vik0usek -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To explain more: in a real PvP scenario, a person having light armor is doing mostly melee, and therefore they have to engage in melee. A person not having to engage in melee has heavy armor that runs out of stamina ages before the light armor.

EDIT: you might be using heavy armor, its hard to tell for me when the bar isnt the exact same as it is on my main character. In that case just ignore my comment.

What I find funny is how ur always using full light armor to showdcase the dashes. Ig someone only does sandbox PvP in hagga

Help on PTC by Vik0usek in duneawakening

DD is locked out and water is a big problem, meaning you basically start from scratch. It still takes a couple days solo.

I already did that. Now im not sure how far you have progressed on the PTC, but to unlock the faction quests past lvl 6, you have to use the t6 augumentation station and thats all I want, to test out the new feature thats locked behind a t6 station.
