Hey I allmost crafted mining units L by now, I'm just so goddamn engaged man do I love setting the clock to myself, I was aching to log in thrice an evening to do the most basic shyte.
 
Can the bot orders run out before I sell some ore, doing at most 1 login per day, and planning at most 1 ingredient ahead?
 
I doubt I will get to see it because I can't justify spending another dac, and then I will miss out on the super rewards, and what's to bring me back then :D?!
 
checkmate
 
I am starting to feel a sense of relief.

That is not completely true I seem to remember, there were certain points during beta that some bot orders were refreshed, while others were removed completely (like those for intermediary products). The question becomes, will NQ refresh those same orders during some event or patch? And even if they say NO now, they have a history of doing YES later...
 
But I saw this weekend that the Quartz NPC buy ordere were almost completely gone (800k left at one market)... So it's a bit of a moot point, unless NQ in their infinite wisdom resets the NPC buy orders (intentional or otherwise)...

I can't tell which of these is supposed to be selected and which is unselected and it's like my 3rd or 4th time through it and I don't remember from time to time to try to do process of elimination. Not great UI design...
 


 
Maybe I seem stupid and it is supposed to be the state with it glowing and a line around the box, but that is the same color as the "play" button, and normally it would be a square line *inside* the box (or something inside it like a check mark or x). It looks like you're supposed to click the default state to make something happen (enable it). Also often these are darker when enabled/selected to indicate that it has been "pressed".

So I did a little testing and I recruited by main account and used Steam purchase on it and linked it. So obviously I can go in the game and it shows you know that I had referred but it does not give me the recruit a friend rewards.
 
So my guess is that it's also not giving us the recruit a friend sign ups either. So both parties lose out if they use steam to add game time.
 
Hopefully this is something the devs can look into in the future. And maybe even account for all the ones that were already done when they do fix it.

can i get a screenshot of all pledges and packages for dual univese in entirity ? like anything kickstarter and all plege rewards and stuff (screenshots or text will work if screenshot is not available) thanks 
doing this for a new friend

I am sure it was mentioned recently on one of the video's but I cannot remember where so I was wondering if anyone know when the physical rewards are coming (I think I am personally am only due the T-shirt)?
 
Also a link to the page that lists the various packages / rewards for backers so I can check what I am meant to receive would be nice too 👍
 
Thanks in advance.

Dear NovaQuark and investors,
 
There's absolutely no [filtered]ing way the game (Dual Universe) is worth that much on its current state. Everyone knows this release is being a rushed one and other than saying "we aren't in beta anymore" there's no valid reason to say this game isn't a beta. You don't even have a roadmap anymore, and even when you had, most of things that were promised/planned for the game haven't been delivered. For all it's worth, DU should never go past the $10 monthly mark unless you, NovaQuark, actually put work into bringing more content, lore, events and FUN into the game, instead of making it a big afk mess which feels more like those mobile money-grabbing games than a proper PC MMO.
 
I really hope that with a 50% raise in subscription costs you also deliver AT LEAST 50% more content, fun and quality to justify this increase, because being very honest here, the game isn't worth that price, and if you don't trust/listen us from the player base, I really hope you brace yourselves for the Steam and independent reviews, because I'm sure they won't be good. And don't expect Dual Universe is going to live well enough to do a No Man's Sky turnaround, because the moment you release it charging $15 a month the expectations will be high, and everyone here who played the game in all it's phases knows it won't last.
 
Good luck with your afk game, we tried supporting you with content, feedback and even wishlisting the game, but every announcement you give us gives an even worse impression on the outcome of this pseudo-release.

I cannot buy more game time until my current sub is finished. ????
 

They are forcing me to have friends. I am not ok with this.

Basically if I'd never logged back in since 0.23 I'd be in the same position. Yay I get a fifth of my talent points back but so does anyone who had forsaken DU after 4 days -.- meh.

It's looking less and less likely... Knowing me I'd probably log in daily for a while to use up my mining and schematic charges...
 
But my utter apathy towards the current server shows me I'm probably an idiot to not forget about it alltogether as soon as possible... The ressources are there, I'm rich and if I'm not using it now I never will but I just can't get myself to give a fork. Just the the thought of figuring out yet another schematics system before I ever fired a weapon... It's a 100% tedium and if it's not persistent there is no point in going through the grind.
 
I'm never gonna use t4-t5 and I'm never going to own it again either. I been saving up for the day I want to play a game that will never exist.
 
 

I have a single 92 million talent point character. It is the only character I played since Beta day 1. No alts. I invested my time heavily in this character, the ships I built and my base on Sanctuary. And I loved playing. Now, I can understand the quanta reset, though what they are offering is insulting and kinda useless if you don’t start with it. The reset of territories, loss of ships? Ok, understand that…I have my blueprints...but they will be useless without my talents and a reasonable starting Quanta. I personally see no benefit to the idea of everyone starting out the same…quite the opposite. When I started I was inspired by the constructs (not just experience) of all the veteran players, it kept me in the game. This was a paid Beta, I never expected a reset of talent points, and kinda feel like it is a breach of contract between player and dev. Seriously, I was looking forward to starting as an advanced player, I earned it. There were months when I logged on daily but could not play (working an ER during the pandemic first wave in NYC was a no fun)...just to invest in this future day of launch and the coolness of being a veteran player with cool stuff and experience around all the noobs...when I actually had time to really play. I loved this game when I started, the potential was amazing and still don’t see anything like it in potential out there. But the loss of talent points I think is the last straw for me and Dual Universe. Talent points were the one thing no exploit could influence. No matter how good the game may turn out to be, I have lost my trust in the Devs, am a bit disappointed, and a bit all around upset.

I can't help but laugh at peoples saying "Now this is the release, there wont be another wipe !" or "You really thought there will be no wipe after a beta ?"
 

Beta release :
NQ - "No more full wipe now, we PROMISE !"
Players - "Yeay ! Let's play for real now, invest our time in it !"
 

Re-release :
NQ - "Here is the final full wipe !"
Players who played years - "F"
Players who have not played - "Yeay ! Get rid of all those beta cheaters ! Now I will play !"
 

Also NQ in this annoucement :
"We hope to have only one release"
 

It's HILARIOUS.
Good bye everyone.

no reset talent point pls
 
 

Serious question:  Will the rewards for subscription, etc be transferable in any way?  I have two main characters which I played with extensively over the time.  They're on a single contributor account so one will get a rare and one will get nothing.  I also have 3 alts which were on paid subs for over 12 months, so they would qualify for an exotic pack each.  But I don't want to play on my alts.  Can I swap these over somehow?

I am at ~28 months subscription.  2x12 month subscriptions  and the free months we got when the game was not stable.  Feel kinda short changed in the rewards department. 

For when you think what you lost cannot be reobtained.

I feel yea! 

While you wipe - Why not correct another mistake; Haven IS the moon sanctuary was meant to be. You added it as another moon, further away, and left sanctuary to no real purpose. 
 
Why not fix that by the same token -> We only need haven at sanctuary's location, no? We cannot even colonize or mine sanctuary.... it really feel like out of place now, taking a great starting moon location, right inbetween Alioth & moon 4. 

Talent points, they are the most unproblematic thing:
 
-Costs NQ no money 
-They were earned, least exploit prone feature in the whole game probably.
-They can't harm an economy in it's infant boots.... compensatory quanta can rip that delicate flower out of the ground as soon as the server launches... whereas you can have all the talent points in the world and it won't change the fact the people who provide the raw materials can decide who they trade with and how... and there will be such inelastic demand for elements the first days that you willbe able to sell without buffs too.
 
 
The whole level field schtick won't last longer than a weekend anyway.

I wish we had a way out of this downward spiral, I don't envy the coders... It must be depressing to have a look at the forums. I mean sure it won't help the game to cut out the feedback, but the endless stream of negativity must weigh one down... Then there is the heat and presumably some crunch on the horizon. We tend to treat NQ like a monolith but I am grateful to the individuals working there trying to make this game a reality. I'll try to login by the end of the week,  it's not easy to login regularly and care atm, but did finish a big sideproject yesterday so it got a little easier...
 
Courage les gars et merci.

The problem for pvp in Dual Universe is at the very least the ratio of risk vs. reward is very out of balance and unpleasant for the player.

Of course, that is because EVE has no non-PVP zones.
Sure, you run considerable risk in many situations if you choose to engage other players in hisec, but you still can and it can be wildly lucrative and well worth the losses.
 
DU must have safe zones because DU lacks any form of protection for non-combatant players otherwise (which still is the majority of the population and always will be). And the safe zone around Alioth/Madis/Thades is what it is to a big extent due to the way PVP focused players have presented themselves and their intentions in the past.
