So, my thoughts:

-DSEs and the daily don’t advance my Kling recruits endeavor xp

-The XP/DSE is very low BUT since we can do the daily on any number of chars one can get quite some XP each day.

-Gameplay: I appreciate the aim of repeatable randomized content, but feel the deep space exploration missions from ages ago did a better job at it (Delta Volanis etc). DSEs are really just patrols with endeavor xp as reward. I hope they add more variety (maybe non combat missions) later.

Verdict: Will add them to my daily routine, but for the rewards, not the content. Except maybe for that rear admiral, she’s really cute.

So I started dune on release, enjoyed it but eventually got bored and left. Now recently started Conan, and it’s just soooo much better. Yes, I don’t expect a new game to have the same amount of content as an older game, but I just don’t get why they didn’t carry over some Conan features.

Most notably: Thralls! In Conan you can „befriend“ almost any npc, and have them follow you around or work on your base. Every crafting station has several types of NPCs that give boosts if you have them. So this system
Gives you a lot of stuff to do (all NPCs come i 4 tiers so you gotta catch em all), has real benefits and makes your base way more lively.

After playing Conan I would never consider coming back to dune unless they added this feature, although I like the dune setting a lot more.

Conan also has some other very cool features I’d miss, like the magic system. And yeah there’s nudity and more satisfying combat.

Key point of this post: why didn’t they carry over the most important USP of their old project ?
