They are on par with EA. Completely shit.

Amazon web services. 
Basicaly company (owned by Jeff Bezos ) that provides datacenter services, like servers, websites, vpns and allot more. 

Its not, 1 ip or even 1 server or even 1 datacenter. 
DU uses AWS. There are several parts and protocols involved. 
Each player connects to the closest AWS endpoint that NQ set up. 
 
If you want to know one of the ips you are connected, check your router for AWS reverse dnsed ips. 
 
Or use wireshark(free) to sniff all your network packages. 

I was doing the construct tutorial. When I got to the part where you use a static core it wouldn't let me place it. I asked in chat and someone said that I have to train my skills up. Which I have done as far as I can. I don't have enough points to train further. What kind of tutorial is this? Cannot even complete the basics and it's so much of a time sink. Five plus hours to train level four in Architect -> Static Core Unit Expertise. I realise it will take some time but for a tutorial where you are supposed to be learning the basic mechanics it's ridiculous. I basically cannot go any further because I've hit a wall.

Still tells me there is 1 available. I tried it 6 times. My friend hasn't received it. Are beta key invites not live yet? Or are there issues with it?

Hey Massacher, 
I'm in Australia as well, got the game to for alpha. Send me a message if you ever want to play.
