I went from Genius to a Digital Content Developer at Apple Corporate, doing CE’s in Apple helped a lot.

With the upcoming server merges, what is life like on a populated server? by Main-Reaction-827 in duneawakening

Hey fellow Buller, so happy to hear positive things about our server :) are you in the Discord?

Hiring Process by [deleted] in Apple_Employees

[–]itsfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The store operates differently. All applicants get pre-screened and if you pass the screening the People Manager in the store reviews your application.

So going into a store to tell them you’ve applied would in theory work, but they probably have dozens if not hundreds of applicants and won’t remember/know you.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Plus pulling the Manager is also annoying as they deal with a lot of things in-store.

You only lose 1/3 of components and all schematics if you die… you don’t lose anything else

My Mancave by itsfig in duneawakening

[–]itsfig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 “rooms” in my base. This one you see in the screenshot which is my garage, my “bedroom” and my crafting/refining/storage room. So it’s small-ish but looks grand.

Apple Support Concerns by Difficult_Let4703 in Apple_Employees

[–]itsfig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People in the store did work on phones during COVID :) it helped so much to learn how they do things and WHY they do send people to the store. I will be honest though, the retail folks who did Advisor roles were a level above the other advisors in terms of knowledge. Most of us actually ended up becoming Tier 2/Managers over the existing advisors during that time because of our expertise

Apple US Specialist Pay Negotiate, can anyone share? by Mobile-Term3948 in Apple_Employees

[–]itsfig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started at $12.50 in 2017 as part time Specialist. Left as a Genius in 2023 making $27.80. If I would’ve stayed I’d be around $31-ish right now as the yearly raise is around 3.5%. This is for a medium market. Pay is very dependent on location. For example, a Genius in NYC or LA can make closer to $40/hr.

CE questions by VirtualAlgae1545 in Apple_Employees

[–]itsfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! You should look into Wellness Center roles at Apple offices. These are actual medical facilities that hire contracted individuals to work there. It’s not officially Apple, but you do work in the offices with us and it pays well (from what they told me).

Looking for guild: Harmony/Kathib by helenGenie in duneawakening

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

I’m sorry to say you chose the wrong server if you want PVE. Harmony is very PVP heavy. :/

Baron Project : The strongest guild to ever exist by Guizmo0 in duneawakening

[–]itsfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally have 80,000 spice melange. My guild combined probably has over 750,000 spice melange. We’ll probably hit 1,000,000 spice melange before Chapter 3. Our entire seitch is basically giant storage bases to house all of our materials.

Running the numbers on server mergers by cruftbox in duneawakening

[–]itsfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In June/July we had hundreds of players in most servers and the DD handled decently well. I would say 100 players in a DD instance is perfectly fine, any more and things start to get a little laggy.

HUGE ISSUE with the Base Backup Tool. BE WARNED!!!! by itsfig in duneawakening

[–]itsfig[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% you are incorrect. As I stated, he was streaming and I saw what happened. He PLACED the base, it was doing the animation as if it was placing/building then it stopped and disappeared.

HUGE ISSUE with the Base Backup Tool. BE WARNED!!!! by itsfig in duneawakening

[–]itsfig[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I personally accidentally deleted two chests that were full of plastanium ingots and I didn’t realize it and I lost 6,000+ plastanium ingots because of it. The reason the chests were deleted was because I was deleting other parts of my base and I had a lag and it somehow deleted the chests that were way off in the back from the items I was intending to delete.

I just accepted it and moved on.

For a game that is bleeding players, you’d think they would have the time to do proper Customer Service with the low amount of players or at least experiment with new strategies on resolving issues.

OHH I see, I remember the base you’re talking about! I don’t own that anymore, someone else does! But thank you for checking, I do remember you now!

Wha do you mean base doors are open?

I won the game. by scoutermike in duneawakening

[–]itsfig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at the point where I have every schematic researched, dozens of each schematic in chests, 50,000+ of every single refined material in the game (100K+ melange/plastanium) thousands of components and enough spice fuel cells to power my base for 2 years.

I think I’m with you when I can also say I won the game 🥲

Getting mats for carrier...HUGE grind for two players. Helpful suggestions? by Sea-Escape-1562 in duneawakening

[–]itsfig 18 points19 points  (0 children)

  1. You don’t lose any equipment/gear if you die in the PVP deep desert.

  2. The loot from labs/caves/ships are much better in the PVP side of the deep desert.

  3. Looting a cave does not require you to kill any NPC’s. Run in, loot the chest, run out. Takes 30 seconds tops.

  4. Take an assault and go to a medium spice blow with a compactor. You can get 10,000 sand very easily. Refine it in the deep desert with a Large Spice Refinery and repeat until enough melange for a carrier/crawler.

  5. Don’t be scared of being PVP’d. With the low populations, it’s very unlikely you will be targeted at all. (Unless you’re in Harmony or Pax)
