5 shots, very precise, good damage and the firing rate fits my aiming / shooting skills.

After months with the tripleshot I'm currently having a lot of fun with the rifle, truly a BF ;)

I am currently playing through the game, got it at launch but quit early when all my friends did. I like the Dune universe, but am just a casual. I’ve watched both movies and seen a handful of lore videos on youtube about the books.

For those who played the game, was the story interesting or did it add to the universe? From what I understand, our universe is some kind of alternate reality that Paul Atreides sees? Seems like a good model for this game, can make its own story in the universe without contradicting any lore from the books.

Anyways, I have found some small sections fun but I can’t tell you what the story is about or what I’m doing. Might be just the nature of open world games, but what do yall think? Is there a story anywhere in this game?

My Stilltent is essential.

Sandstorms are terrifying.

My Stillsuit is my lifeline.

Water discipline is the difference between life and death.

I have ridden the Maker.

...but then I awaken.

I have 5 Million water, I have no use for a Stillsuit, my Stilltent is dry-rotted, the Maker eludes me

My character seems thirstier than before. There was an unannounced player stamina nerf with update 1.4. It definitely seems like my character needs to drink water more frequently now, which indicates that a player hydration nerf also took place. The stamina nerf makes the game less fun. The increase in water consumption actually seems like a good idea, because it has become a trivial mechanic that I have been ignoring for many months. Has anyone else noticed this?

The current endgame armoury is packed with weapons that apply poison, fire DoTs, and “build-up” damage.

The problem is that Funcom still hasn’t scaled DoTs and ability damage to keep pace with endgame health pools. Beyond a certain point, these effects become largely irrelevant. And make skills meaningless.

So why keep introducing new weapons built around mechanics that barely matter in actual combat? Surely the developers can see that, outside of their base weapon damage, these special effects (and our direct damage skills) contribute almost nothing in the current PvE sandbox, and I cannot believe they are intended for use in PvP.

Funcom silently adding a nice QOL feature.

You can now hit the Recycle Stack button and immediately recycle an entire stack of an item. No longer do you have to hit the space bar button 500 times.

Really im venting and maybe someone can tell me if I am the Asshole. We've had our base in the same spot for months. I built it over a main path but, put a nice big tunnel so people can drive through. Even have a chest with some beers on the house. I guess either someone wanted our spot or thought we were in the way. It ruined our night last night as spent all that time trying to find a new spot. What a shitty thing to do.

I've always loved these test station designs, but OG is truly something else, with this heavy West World aesthetics and transparent, water-glass walls, bleak sci-fi with monsters. There's no better way to introduce us to a water-shipper expansion, and makes me long for TS and water-related decors in the future. ^_^

And why does everyone on Arrakis thinks they can master weird science on the go? XD

apologies if this is an over-asked question. just wanted to garner some opinions on the current state of the game for a new player. as a dune fan i’ve been wanting to try the game for a while and i just recently got my pc up and running again, but i’ve heard some mixed things as of late.

edit: thanks for the input y'all, decided to go ahead and pick it up! see you on arrakis!

Dune Awakening has been incredibly enjoyable as of late, my friends, guilds, and server mates turn up and show out at weekly community events in the Deep Desert, and the community has embraced us with the most open of arms. We've been hosting community resources like a Gas Station, Spice and Wolf Pub, Pit Stop, and other free community services in the Deep Desert. At the end of each week, we host and facilitate a HUGE server-wide party called Stoneheart Nights on Saturday evenings and wanted to share some of the awesome experience the Stoneheart community has been having!

ENJOY a NEW 3 Shield Wall Circuit Death Race EPIC CHOMPilation! Peruse some footage of the CHAOS that unfolded at the Stoneheart Nights' 10th Anniversary Event in the Stoneheart Dune Awakening server in the PVE Deep Desert, hosted by AWOO Guild. SO so many sacrifices to Shai-Halud this week, the sands were well saturated with blood! Any land vehicle had a chance to win CRAZY prizes, and walk away with (or crawl away) with bragging rights.

We received reports that the Deep Desert queue was 45 minutes, up to 19 people at times, for players trying to join our community event! And they were willing to wait...and then told us it was worth it?! I think fun is being had and it's the BEST!

How many people sacrificed themselves to the great Worm God this night?!
