what to expect from the future Plus we also got confirmation as to what not to expect from Dune Awakening going forward And we also got some new comments from the dub team about base building and how they plan to improve that Also more on character customization And yes more updates are coming to the deep desert Some of you kind of feel like it’s meh right now while I have good news about this And remember if you’re new be sure to smack that subscribe button to stay updated on all things Dune Awakening And yes I’m going over your top comments So as always leave a comment down below It could end up right here in a future video But you know what This weekend was a massive moment for Dune Awakening Check it out We broke 189,000 plus concurrence on Steam alone That is insane numbers You also have to consider this game is even out on consoles The future is insanely bright for Dune Awakening But you know what There’s also some concerns We got some replies from Funcom community management team of Dune Awakening So check it out right here Here’s the concerns I hope they add more in-game PvE stuff not just PvP I go on to say I hope they add more PvE in-game stuff like large scale PvE or dungeons or something not just the disappointing PvP right now Are you guys disappointed by the PvP for those of you that are actually kind of like in the in-game Sound off And we got a response from Funcom who says this Hey while I can’t spill what’s coming just yet there’s stuff coming for both PvP and PvE enjoyers For the immediate weeks we’re focusing on stabilizing the game and addressing what’s being reported But after that we have some stuff planned Thanks for being part of the journey from the beginning and stay tuned So if you’re really worried that they’re just going to go all in on PvP and you PVE enjoyers would be left out that’s not the case whatsoever Now there’s also this thread right here which also got a response from Funcom Check it out This is a great game Launch was the best I’ve seen in years One problem PvP is absolute dog [ย __ย ] Again sound off Do you agree with this It’s just a stupid ass Zergfest Spawn 3 seconds after death Zerg back into the fight No markers no team designations just monkeys flinging poo in every direction Skill isn’t an issue More bodies and camping is This is hands down the worst PvP experience I’ve had in decades PvE BP but no way to make rhyme or reason of which outplay someone doesn’t [ย __ย ] matter As soon as you transition to the next player the first guy is back Play better Why Just slam more players vehicles and larger and larger guilds into a small place and pretend it matters No penalty for making mistakes just a penalty for not bringing 45 of your closest friends And let’s have the NPCs respond every 30 seconds And no team recognition Great [ย __ย ] plan This got 690 up votes And the response let’s get into the official response here Hey just to confirm the fast respawns in PvP are not intended We are fixing this issue in an upcoming patch The way it is supposed to work is that while respawning in a PvP area the timer is higher than in PvE every consecutive respawn within a certain time period will increase that respawn timer So yeah you know another response here is you guys are actually so good at communicating Thanks for being active on Reddit Your game rocks So you know it seems like the community overall was fairly happy with that response So PvP seems to be headed in the right direction If you’re avoiding it now perhaps in the future there will be a really good reason to hop into PvP So that’s the good news at the very least But we got this question right here out on the official Discord Check it out Any updates on when we could expect some Q&A about pain points progression and in-game That is a great question The response is as follows from Iggy our community manager or at least one of them because there’s several of them active out there There will be an AMA soon He goes on to confirm So we will be getting a bigger kind of like AMA from the dev team about what to expect with Call of Life improvements future content that sort of thing and changes to the endgame for the better At least I hope Now we also have this right here They go on to say this Hey Eggy what’s the current Funcom feeling around players saying that scout thopters seem to be a bit in a bad way right now A lot of people feel they make the assault thopter redundant because both seem to be just as good as the other in combat And here’s the take from Iggy who goes on to say this I’m not in a position to say one thing or another but any conversation regarding that and other bounced up is being collected and sent to the team So right now the dev team is very much collecting their thoughts and collecting your thoughts more importantly and probably putting together a really detailed priority list about what they want to change first What is the most important stuff Which begs the question and I leave that to you guys What do you think should be at the top of that priority list right now Be sure to sound off But we also have this right here Check it out Any idea if they are going to add transport capacity to the transport ory at some point so it’s more useful The thing’s pretty basic with boosters lol And yeah guess what A response Iggy goes on to say “Not taking this as confirmation but I believe this was on the table from what I remember but as with most things in the game it’s at least open to feedback which I’ve seen a lot of people really really want this sort of thing especially when you are you know doing stuff in the endgame.” Now also we have do you know when the part three of the story will be out and a follow-up comment which is connected to this saying dev have said don’t want to make a game in early access but the game is out and miss the end of the main story why and Iggy responded saying this we are a live service game we plan to continue the story and adding content to the game from launch so if you were kind of bummed by the end of the story and you felt like it was very much not completed well that’s actually the case there will be more story to come considering that yes this is going to have constant content rolling out Now also we have “Hey man any idea about that bug that’s causing people to lose their thopter after the final mission I’ve seen that this is becoming more and more of a complaint.” And the response is “It is being investigated Some of our team have been reaching out to people affected to isolate the issue Seems to be related either to having been inco or having the hunter seeker ability Yikes.” So yeah this one will eventually be fixed I’ll keep you guys in the know as to when a hot fix or patch does drop for that fix Now we also have this one right here Is there a plan to make a world where you can only PVP on foot which I’ve seen that is also a concern but you got to remember in my previous video there were a bunch of other dev responses And one of them was that yes they are going to be updating how the thopter handles in PvP They want to avoid people getting squished and uh frustrating other PV players but we have this response There are no plans for that at the moment So yeah let me know your guys feelings about this one if you feel like there should be a zone or world where it is PvP on foot only and you don’t have to worry about these thopters interrupting your PvP battles But yeah the Doom team definitely has some plans for updates regarding customization And we have this question about that one Barberhop win And the response is also planned the equivalent at least for character recustomization So you will be able to rework your hairstyle in the future your beard Uh I imagine the color of your hair that sort of thing in the future thanks to kind of like a sort of barberhop or character recustomization as well So yeah that’s going to be cool Now what about this Cuz this has been an issue for a lot of you guys Any word on a fix for the sky box flickering And they’re working into that one Annoying when it happens So a fix is coming for that Also what is this Iggy Any plans for base signs or not makes sense if you guys don’t think it’s a good idea but I’d love to see them I want to make public areas of my base that are labeled as such LOL And we did get a response here It is confirmed We have plans There’s no ETA but it’s something we wanted to implement for the launch It just doesn’t make the cut by a little bit They’re coming in some way shape or form So yes it looks like bases are evolving in a better way We also have this one Hello Iggy Do you know if there are any plans to make unique items green or quest rewards repairable please As it stands some of my items are unreparable at all even though I have required components because the recipes are not learnable And this is the take from Iggy who says this that’s at the moment by design We don’t want people to keep items forever and make wear and tear a noticeable thing That said as feedback goes we’re open to feedback and we will evaluate this and other decisions over time So in regards to this mechanic do you guys like it And more importantly how do you think this sort of thing should be fine-tuned going forward Now we also have this right here Check it out Any plans for a market device for inside the base so you could sell buy things in your own base which would be really really cool I got to admit Now the response is this It’s not in the plans at the moment We don’t want people to bunker down in their bases That does make sense You want to get people out and about and kind of exploring the world and even bumping into each other So I do get where the dev team is coming uh from with that one for sure Now what about this Hey are tanks coming soon or within the next house update Dude that would be really really cool to see And the response here not in the immediate future but they will eventually So it is at the very least confirmed that we will be getting full-blown tanks down the road And a really good question when it comes to the deep desert Check it out A quick question Did we roll a kind of meh deep desert It’s really a lot of sand and not too many things Can we expect more things to discover next week How are you guys feeling about the deep desert rotation Sound off Now we have every week the layout changes so can’t say because I don’t know if the next layout will bring more or less exciting stuff but there’s chances that some roles will be better than others More sector tiles are also coming too So yeah it’s one of those I’m not sure what to answer kind of questions but I got to say at the very least it is cool that we are going to be getting more tiles which means I think more variety in the deep desert eventually And it seems like they are very interested in updating that Now mentioning updates we got a very very important quality of life update here that was asked about deposit all water button Is that on the list of to-dos Yeah that is a very good question and the response is oh yeah this is coming as far as I know So a lot of you guys will be very very happy to hear that that is going to be you know simplified And you know you guys mentioned in my previous video that you want to see the you know hold commands lessened significantly or improved So yeah I think that’s in line with that for sure Any chance we can get access to our storage while visiting the exchange Otherwise trying to sell certain things like resources are limited harshly by carry weight which means a trip back to the basin just to move the items into your inventory each time which can be a pain in the butt Now the response is this I believe this was being looked into but it’s in the back burner for the immediate future while we try to fix stability in hubs At least that’s what I remember hearing So they’re looking into it but again they did confirm that they did have like a DOSS attack that did happen to them more recently They did get that under control but I think that they’re trying to uh have like I guess you would say counter measures to that in the future that are a lot quicker to counter that sort of thing down the road because that was a big issue recently when the servers kind of went offline So yeah that’s kind of what they’re doing right now with both quality of life stuff We’re going to be getting a road map which is great and then the new content which is the tanks down the road which would be very very cool and some updates to the deep desert but we also got to go over your top comments So as always you know what to do Leave a comment down below It can end up right here in a future video And remember if you are new welcome aboard Remember to smack that subscribe button to join the OWG army to stay updated on all things Dune Awakening But I say we get into your top comment shall we So let’s check it out Honestly can’t stop thinking about this game Single dad and active duty Only time I get to enjoy self time is after putting my son down for bed With that being said I talk to my peers all the time about how great this game is It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve been so excited to come home and play a game The lore world and mechanics is great Haven’t had any in-game issues Hell yes and mentioning that yeah issues have been pretty limited for me except for like the server recent server downtime but so far like you do this game has been a very pleasant surprise I am blown away at how much I think about this game just naturally you know in my free time I’m always wanting to hop back in now we also have this one I’m wondering how many people have done what I did bought the basic game then later bought the ultimate upgrade after finding out I loved the game And yeah if you really love a game you’re going to go out of your way to support the dev team to ensure that the game also gets that support it needs considering that it’s live service But hell yes I hear where you’re coming from with that one Now also we have fight pit with spectator arena Would be very nice One in Haga and in the deep desert That would be so cool to have a spectator area where you can kind of also maybe like even place bets on the one versus one type battle that is ongoing That would be really really cool But what do we have here I hope they address the dead bodies interrupting melee combat Normally you have forward momentum taking steps toward your target with each swing But if there’s a body on the ground between you and the next enemy you may as well be swinging at a brick wall Yeah I’ve noticed that as well Well and there’s just several things again that I’ve mentioned before where I really do think if they did go in here and want to update combat it’s the melee combat that I think needs to be fine-tuned further It works I like it Don’t get me wrong The more I played the game the more I’ve liked it and I love uh the aspect with the shields how you have to get through the shields That’s the coolest part of it Uh but for sure I hear what you’re saying that that definitely needs an update But yeah there it is the latest happenings around Dune Awakening Stay tuned for more I’ll keep you guys in the know and updated about this one But thanks for watching Thanks for all the love and support on the Dune Awakening videos And I will see you all next time Take care
