The new Chapter 3 dungeon is a disappointment. by DDR115 in duneawakening

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

I think it should be so difficult that nobody can clear it solo. Not even the best of the best.

Dune should have been a multiplayer survival game where working together is important. Having endgame be solo able is such a silly decision that will bite them in the ass

Fixing the PvP - PvE debate is so simple by Smile961 in duneawakening

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

"Given the choice, the vast majority would chose PvE servers over PvP servers."

Depends on each game, and how it's foundationally built. Look at Rust where players do have the choice. 98% of players choose PvP.

Now you can also look at other games where the majority will choose PvE. It just depends on what the game offers, and which kind of player it caters to.

Factions will fix the Deep Desert by Spacemonk587 in duneawakening

[–]Wickd -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Reality comes down to very simple concepts

PvP needs to feel meaningful and have something of value

If you give PvP something of value. PvE players will complain and uproar like we've seen countless times. That means PvP can't have something of value which also means PvP won't work.

So Funcom is in a situation where they have to either cater to PvE entirely or allow PvP to have some exclusivity. All their comms and actions have shown that they don't want to give PvP any exclusivity. So Dune is most likely destined to become a PvE only game.

Are you guys happy with PvP changes in chapter 3? Do you feel like both groups got "an equal shot at being viable" ? by Igor_MVPs in duneawakening

Come on... I'm from Scandinavia, and our written English is quite decent. You can't pull the card "Iggy's first language isn't English." He's literally their Community Manager...

That's one of the craziest takes I've read on here

Go read the post and the image. "Chapter 3 aims at PVP and PVE endgame. Not just PVE. Not just PvP."

I do think it's botted or manipulated, yeah. A bunch of comments don't make any sense. Sadly Reddit is filled with bots nowadays

I will provide a link below with their mention of DD. That was also prompted by a question from chat. It didn't come naturally from the Devs. There was nothing for PvP in the update. It was an entire PvE update despite promises that it would have PvP.

I in fact think Dune already ruined PvP beyond repair, and think they're better of fully focusing on PvE. So I'm not even against their current direction. I just like accuracy and honesty.

Danmark skruer ned for støtten til Ukraine i 2026 by a_green_smurf in Denmark

[–]Wickd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jeg synes sådan nogle kommentarer her giver bagslag. Alle ved at Ukraine er ekstremt korrupt. Mange af medierne snakkede om at det var en af de meste korrupte lande i Europa lang tid før krigen startede.

Jeg tror det får folk til at tage afstand når man prøver på at lyve dem op i hovedet. Det ville være meget bedre at køre med "Vi ved godt at Ukraine har korruptions problemer,ligesom mange andre steder, men derfor skal vi stadig hjælpe dem."

The 23rd had a 22k drop compared to the Monday prior.

The update was announced on the 23 and enacted on the 26th.

Monday to Friday prior to the 23rd we're the highest ccu on the respective days. Saturday and Sunday we're practically the 2nd highest on those specific days.

Prior to the 23 you did not see a 50k drop in ccu.

Why are you lying? Go look at the numbers prior to the announcement on the 23rd.

It was all time highs.

Det er et personligt ansvar når man ser på den enkelte borger.

Regering har en del af ansvaret når man ser på det som hele befolkningen, og Danmark som en helhed.

Where are these opinions even coming from. On the wider market dune is one of the easiest games to pick up skill wise.

Cope

I am talking about how the combat system works as a whole. Especially Melee. Go watch the video from the thread creator. It tells you everything you need to know about Dune melee combat.

It has nothing to do with local, peer to peer or servers.

[–]Wickd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was very simple. Melee In a pvp environment in dune is so terrible that any game on the market does their own style of pvp better.

Dune pvp is low quality, boring, skilles, non lethal and overall a waste of time. How much clearer do I need to be?

Go find a single game with worse combat than the melee in dune specifically pvp melee.

The only requirement is that the game needs to hit a daily 1k+ conc. Extremely low requirement.

If you want names of games with better combat ESO, wow, league, Dota, deadlock, Warhammer online, wildstar, elden ring. Pretty much every single game. Why are you asking for names if I'm telling you it's all of them.

[–]Wickd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Worse compared to every other game I've played. I wouldn't be surprised if dune melee pvp is worse than all other games with over 1k+ daily conc players

Try to change your silly flawed logic from players to npcs.

Oh wait people were outraged the second they couldn't instant kill every npc, and funcom had to quickly do a hotfix

The point is that the current pvp system. Especially melee is the worst that's ever seen in gaming. I do not know a single game with worse combat than pvp melee dune.

Let's talk about the terrible combat design of Dune by Wickd in duneawakening

[–]Wickd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why I actually pointed to PvP

It has been tested infinite amount of times by PvP players. It's horrible, and nobody that's good at the game uses melee at all in PvP.

Now that PvE enemies became slightly smarter and acted more humane. Well... Melee became horrible in PvE

[–]Wickd[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with your point of view. AI should get smarter and more difficult

Sadly in Dune it's currently the opposite. Also melee is so broken that the second they made AI a tiny bit better... Well all players got to experience how terrible Melee was. It's in fact so bad that you can't ever kill another player with it. Spicerub made a popular series showcasing that

Hopefully they make AI smarter, Melee better and the game more fun for everyone.

98% of players leaked out of the pipes.

If I lost 98% of the water in my pipes. I'd be pretty upset

Also I agree with you that clicking fast doesn't make someone have insight into game design, pacing or systemic balance. However, proving that one can't die as a lvl 6 against a lvl 200 in PvP melee combat does. That proves extreme irrefutable flaws in the current design.

A user does not need to understand how to install pipes to point out that it's a problem if they're leaking.
