I approach and attempt to land
#Dune Awakening
gilded verge
ahh
yeah the spice gathering we were talking about comes to mind
one person as sacrifical lamb with thumper
draw the worm several hundred meters away
spare field
Draw the worm, hop on bike, fucking run
hybrid tartan
Since the bike has an optional extra seat, I assumed someone could use the thumper off the back
spare field
Also a possibility
hybrid tartan
Though I assume carrier ornithoopter would make that easier
gilded verge
and just rinse repeat with respawning on the assault
spare field
As a note, am finding titanium and stradivium, as well as various weaves
gilded verge
thats how to get the last tier
spare field
...
Okay
Also noted
I cannot kill anything here
That was 20 stabs and nothing
yeah
So
This isn't going to work
I can't kill the enemies.
okay
run and loot works
spare field
This is the most populated deep desert zone I've found
It had two caves
I still haven't found more than one titanium ore rock
spare field
Alright
I decided to stop playing, so
I put aaaaallll my stuff into the last few crates. Armor, weaonry, all my vehicles too
So you can get a decent buggy, a decent sandbike, and the basic Ornithopter with thrusters and a scouter
tired gate
I mean yeah. There’s….. a lot of little stuff that would have been easily cleaned up if there was more time. It reminds me a lot of (funnily enough) early ark. Passionate people doing a thing they love, but with nowhere near enough time to do it right.
The time before the greed.
gilded verge
That's why I really like the game
You can tell the devs are passionate
They wanted to make this game
That's enough for me in this rough state
tired gate
Yup.
There’s time and there’s interest. It’s on a path to be fixed.
This isn’t a battleborne that was dead on launch because of an inferior if more well marketed product.
hybrid tartan
I liked Monday night combat better
tired gate
Mannn. MNC was awesome.
hybrid tartan
I seem to remember it eventually being on steam, but I don't know if it's still going, will check soon
gilded verge
Google says yes it was on steam
hybrid tartan
all the reviews are it's now abandonware, great when you can get folks for stuff, dead elsewise
gilded verge
20 bucks for 4 copies + able to host a server on your own computer
Lobbies say it's 6 players
That's reasonable to get alive again
hybrid tartan
I am wondering exactly what this means in the new update: Reduced the cases where the sandworm can push vehicles under terrain.
Does that mean less stuff is supposed to be destroyed or something else?
glossy dust
have you had a sandworm travel under you? causes you to bounce a bit, guessing some got clipped under world
its fun, does immidiately make the worm stick its head out and roar tho :p
Fixed an exploit that would allow building a vehicle with items from another player's inventory. interesting
pure moth
I managed to summon my bike into a wall yesterday
It did a Bethesda then
I frantically tried to get the one treck that clipped out every now and then to store it back
Also sucks that you cant have bike inventory and booster at same time
can you have the scanner and inventory at least ?
If not
Why have two util slots
if only one can be used at the same time
spare field
Yes
One util slot is scanner specifically
Once you have a buggy the inventory on the bike is mostly pointless so you want booster instead, for swift transport before you get Ornithopter
Also the scanner is actually really useful, it makes the resources it scans appear permanently on your map
Very important for finding hard to find resources and figuring out good harvesting routes.
glossy dust
gah gotta love when the server goes down as your driving a vehicle
least im not over the sand this time
glossy dust
server might need a kick, its not back up yet
gilded verge
can you have the scanner and inventory at least ?
Scanner is upfront inventory is back
i understand why its one at front, one at back
but it needs to be more versatile
but like, booster at front is less effective or something
instead of just one spot
spare field
They should at least clarify which utilities go where
Since even the buggy had the same problem. Buggy turrets and Cutterays are counted as utilities, as are boosters and storage units. I don't even know what the other utility slots for the buggy are
gilded verge
i think a scanner?
gilded verge
server might need a kick, its not back up yet
restarting it rn
unless
you're already in
in which case
woopsy
glossy dust
hehe
spare field
There actually does NOT appear to be a scanner available for the buggy
At least based on googling
glossy dust
buggy is for mining and fighting not scouting :p
spare field
Yeah, I just. Don't know what the empty util slot is for then. Can you actually put a booster and a storage on it at the same time and I was wrong?
hybrid tartan
If that's the case, wonder if you could double up on either
gilded verge
could be the same as the lower-right slot in character menu
there for a future update
glossy dust
mine are all full so i think its cutterray/missle launcher and storage/booster/2 more seats
oh and pretty sure the basalt-plastone are only for the faction specific building blocks, so holler if you want more to make the base atradies themed
and gah you can see the used power/base power in the general settings of any item in there
glossy dust
bring back 700 alu from the refine base, more being refined atm and god the agave seeds are hard to see
and interestingly the mk4 special buggy inventory has 5 more slots but 250unit less capacity than the standard mk5
gilded verge
ah just as you were complaining about it(rightfully so)
to green*
t6 resources in the deep desert are spawn buffed and put in more pools
spare field
That would help... If there were actually more spawn locations.
gilded verge
and clear about what pools its in
spare field
That does help, yeah
gilded verge
its a good first step
i imagine tweaking spawn of deep desert will have to wait till next cycle
spare field
... Wouldn't the next cycle start today?
gilded verge
i think its every 10 days?
but i also doubt the cycle about to start was generated today
spare field
True
spare field
Yeah, that'd be fair.
gilded verge
it would be best if they actually announce how its done so we know/can estimate the cadence of updates and issues being fixed
spare field
I can understand them not wanting to corner themselves if something takes too long, however
gilded verge
yeah
all in all, fairly reasonable justifications for delays on updates i think - either operating a week ahead or not wanting to announce things and corner themselves
does not feel good to have that delay
but its very much "oh okay, thats... fine"
spare field
So long as it's clear they're trying, and they are.
There is also the fact that I did not, actually, explore the entire deep desert
perhaps if I had mapped the entire thing from top to bottom I'd be able to say there's more to do
tired gate
The delay for leaving a PvP security zone increased from 5 to 30 seconds to prevent border camping and allow PvP players to protect their area.
oh thats actually a good change
tired gate
perhaps if I had mapped the entire thing from top to bottom I'd be able to say t...
it is meant to get more dense the further up you go.
at least I think
gilded verge
it is
gilded verge
but they also adjusted the spawn rates
tired gate
I went 3/4ths of the way up
hm. fair enough.
gilded verge
spare field
It was a single column
gilded verge
map of deep desert again
it is very sparse
they need to improve the generation of the world
i understand desert, featureless
but this is too much
gilded verge
https://duneawakening.th.gl/maps/The%20Deep%20Desert
spare field
...Hmm. Maybe some terrain features didn't generate on the map when I surveyed...
gilded verge
with the server issues we've experienced the past few days
very well could be leftover server stuff
/file a bug note
spare field
I scanned... A6 because I couldn't find land to land on in A7, then a column up from there
tired gate
glancing at the map it is..... pretty empty
but theres still spots of recource clumps
spare field
I also remember seeing...
I think that map is last cycles, Weegy
The tac points are in different spots
tired gate
hm
gilded verge
oooh
tired gate
welp
spare field
Oh
tired gate
wait the DD shifts DAILY?
spare field
If it did reset this week, then that'd be it
No, it shifts weekly.
Monday is reset
spare field
Yeah that's a different map from what I explored
tired gate
sounds like you just had some bad luck with some bad spawns.
gilded verge
oh no
tired gate
oh?
gilded verge
it doesn't reset till tomorrow morning
tired gate
ah
spare field
...
gilded verge
huh strange
spare field
Then the map you've pinned is inaccurate
tired gate
then WHEN IS THAT MAP FROM?!
tired gate
probably
gilded verge
thats my fault
spare field
Like
tired gate
unpin the heretical map
spare field
I can redownload and hop back on and share my maps
gilded verge
nah, i'll go out to the DD later
spare field
This is the most populated deep desert zone I've found
Reference D6 to this. It had 2 cave sections
tired gate
and the caves had nothing?
spare field
No, one cave section had a fair amount of loot and the other was a carbon copy of another Hagga Basin cave
Including the hidden loot section at the top
spare field
Yeah this map is just wrong, Weegy.
tired gate
unpin and destroy the heresy
spare field
It's semi-correct based on what I remember
... Also weegy
If you do go deep desert
Bring somebody else with you and extra probes
Like, more than you'd need
Not having the probes makes it impossible to find shit
tired gate
right
spare field
Also I found if you move too far or unequip the probe, the scan fails
tired gate
right
tired gate
ah
spare field
also
tired gate
yeah usual probe shenanigains
tired gate
sounds about right
spare field
I spent 20 stabs on one ranged dude with my level 2 swordmaster skills, it didn't kill one
I was on Aluminum tier weapons
tired gate
damn
spare field
Also like 5 slow stabs on a shielded melee unit when normally it'd take one
tired gate
yeah thats about normal for punching 2 tiers up
spare field
No I didn't kill them, Gurm
5 is all I managed while fighting for my life and then getting killed
spare field
This is also including the knee slam which doesn't pierce shields, and the whirlwind which does
tired gate
..... the knee doesnt.... but the.... I see.
spare field
It staggers but doesn't pierce, since it's a fast attack.
tired gate
ahhhh
spare field
You kinda... YEET
tired gate
my solutions to shields at this point is the anti shield shotgun
spare field
Which is against the slow stab principle
tired gate
yea
gilded verge
my solution is minor-rage
tired gate
minor rage?
gilded verge
i just get pissy
tired gate
why are you getting mad at those who cannot vote?
tired gate
i just get pissy
ah.
spare field
Lol
tired gate
I just did actually 2 nights ago!
the fucker nearly broke some of my furniture because he was bored!
gilded verge
SEE
tired gate
yup.
tired gate
god I liked when he was a kid. he was sweet and polite and listened to his mom.
now he's just kinda a bastard.
in a few years he'll be chill again though.
gilded verge
my personal biggest issue is map cohesion, that needs to be redone completely to look like a basin
tired gate
give us more walls
gilded verge
it doesn't feel real right now, designed and unnatural is how it feels
spare field
Melee gives me the freedom to laugh at shields
gilded verge
but the biggest "real" issue i have, is the enemy variety
spare field
it's the ranged units that hurt with their CC skills
gilded verge
there's four enemies, heavies - snipers - soldiers - melee
mix of that and the AI you've complained about green(though i feel more enemy variety is the issue)
tired gate
a few more enemy types and more varied placement would go a long way
rather than walls of heavies, soldiers, and melees
gilded verge
add a heavy/greatsword melee character, Knife thrower ranged, a dog and a flying creature
boom, enemy variety doubled
that takes longer to fix though, so i understand why it hasn't been solved - but i hope they address it
tired gate
it would be nice
gilded verge
i can buy mk4 scout orni stuff really cheaply now
(about 100k for a full one)
so if anyone wants backups/needs replacements ASAP, just ping me until others get to atredies 4
hybrid tartan
Do i want to get Duraluminum going, or hold off on that with our current resources?
glossy dust
dura is good, if you need more alu just go to the refining base
any idea how much of the seeds we need apart from lots?? gonna be up there soonish
hybrid tartan
I saw that we had about 30 agave seeds, but dont remember what they are needed for
glossy dust
rad suits and host of other things, and you need the anti rad to get the titanium for duralurium
definately lots then
hybrid tartan
Gotcha gotcha
hybrid tartan
I'm just not feeling it right now. Maybe tomorrow after work might be good.
glossy dust
np games are for fun 🙂
pure moth
I will try to get on today and progress more to catch up with you all
Got into iron and can make a buggy … hopefully
glossy dust
if you need resources the main base has tons
spare field
You can always put my crapbox together again, it'll help you a lot. The parts are all there
gilded verge
glossy dust
they somehow turned a chunk of the pve dd back to pvp?
tired gate
probably because by that point + all the map bonuses you have everything
would be my guess
tired gate
and how many of the intel have you collected?
glossy dust
im about half way though plastanium and have all from the first 3 areas + a smattering from the rest of the areas
tired gate
but yeah each of the higher tiered zone intels give I wanna say 30?
and each higher tier zone has around 5 bases?
except for irradiated hell
that only has 1
even the mid tier zones give 20 per intel
either way, lotta points
glossy dust
yea i think i was getting 20 from steel, 10 from iron, 5 from copper areas
pure moth
Intel points I think you can get
I have seen screenshots with 1k spare
so I guess deep desert or something can have them as well
glossy dust
aww i was hoping you might get more skill points once you got all the intel
glossy dust
but there is a lvl cap at 200? i think
tired gate
but there is a lvl cap at 200? i think
yeah. level cap is 200
pick your favorite 25 skills
yes I did the math
tired gate
so I guess deep desert or something can have them as well
that sounds likely
spare field
Pick your 25 favorite skills discounting any skills you need to buy to reach your favorite
tired gate
yeah
glossy dust
bugger update in half an hour, estemated to be down for an hour and a half
glossy dust
sleep is a formidable opponent
hybrid tartan
Due to gdq, my sleep has been wonky this week on top of work, heh
glossy dust
1.6gb patch is up
glossy dust
...and they might be having issues with the private servers again, all of heatglen is still missing
glossy dust
just been refreshing for the past half hour, only nitrado and xrealm private servers are visible in private
glossy dust
huzzah she lives, ty
pure moth
ye
glossy dust
bodyboxes in the main base refilled
and a bunch of flour sand brought back and refinining
hybrid tartan
alright, this one is good. Didn't know that was how you accessed vehicle inventory from other places
https://youtu.be/uywYD19tPjU
glossy dust
sry we could have told you that
hybrid tartan
all good, just one of those things that was less obvious. Minus some quest stuff, I haven't looked anything for the game up, heh
glossy dust
great for moving bodes to the stills, wish there was an easier way to move the pile to the buggy :p
spare field
... God dammit that would've made things easier to know
glossy dust
geh the refining base ran out of lubricant for power :p
glossy dust
servers going down in 15 mins
pure moth
Hmm nothing scheduled there tho
OHHH
ISP strikes again
Gportal is having issues with their provider ( Telekom)
Could be more reboots coming later
glossy dust
base running low on cobalt paste
hybrid tartan
Same. I feel like whenever I do get motivation for this game of late, servers end up going down for somethin, heh
pure moth
I tried but… Mood and PoE
tired gate
My motivation this week has just been dead for a lot of things, dunno why. just feels. sluggish.
pure moth
Are there some celestial bodies -except earth- that we can blame for that?
glossy dust
mars and venus are out of alignment? :p
hybrid tartan
I'll be off Thursday if folks want to try and get something going
pure moth
tired gate
Oh dear Ben. What did you do?
glossy dust
https://duneawakening.com/news/public-test-client-version-1-1-20-0/ patch notes for the update coming mid aug, sounds like we want to stock up on flour sand since they will be moving the spots and making the compactor more worm tasty along with other changes
glossy dust
checking on the bases, there still there, got the main semi powered up and repaired, will go pay the takes in a bit
did not trigger the worm at all so far wether traveling to the base or gathering flour sand
tired gate
okay no seriously what the hell is ben doing
glossy dust
and forgot to mention main base walls were about 2/3 damaged, doors were gone, mining base was 3/4, only the outer walls tho
tired gate
yeah that checks out
glossy dust
grumble was going to restock more lube for the power and the servers go down 🙁
and so bloody nerve wracking when they do down MID FLIGHT
grr spawned me back in the base and left the orno out here
tired gate
Woooo!!!
tired gate
@gilded verge icon time.
glossy dust
https://duneawakening.com/news/the-choam-salvage-rights-event-is-live/ downed ship event and they had to pause since the worms were out of control :p
tired gate
neat
glossy dust
oo event is going atm
glossy dust
added it up you need 135 crates for all the stuff, get 0-1 per emplacement 2-5 per downed ship
glossy dust
got all mine, gah cant throw the rest in a chest, if anyone wants a hand gathering, just give a holler
glossy dust
boo i can place the event cannons on walls but not on top of the storage crates

Q.q
glossy dust
https://bsky.app/profile/duneawakening.com/post/3lyg3pie4bc2c they borked something in the patch im crashing in the shield wall and not the only one
glossy dust
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3596900/Dune_Awakening__Lost_Harvest_DLC/?curator_clanid=42849822 wow $20 bucks for one quest line and a new vehicle, a double wheeled contraption
tired gate
12 bucks for a car and some skins
Now it does say it also has 3 “expanded” testing stations but that’s gotta be base game yeah?
glossy dust
havent seen new once, they might be outside the haga basin as quest areas
there is a new crashed ship south of the west iron area, with non hostile npcs
i think there part of the quest
there are also few new base game quests to play with,|| in both major cities and via finding npcs in the world, a scrap trader, assassin and fremen worshiping pilgrims found so far||
spoilered in case people wanted to find out themselves
tired gate
havent seen new once, they might be outside the haga basin as quest areas
Didn’t say new. Said Expanded.
Thats the wording used.
glossy dust
oh that might explain the tunnet with a unopenable door i found earlier
assumed it was part of the planetolist line :p
pure moth
Well
seems like the server is gonna be up for another 3 months
pure moth
Ye
