[Predictions and Ore Shortages]

I scanned about 50 tiles on Madis Moon 1. I found no high tier ore. The scans took, with travel time, about 15 hours. Worse I spend another 10 hours chasing 5 false positives. So this is the first game, in the 35 years I play video games, that I spend 25 hours on and accomplishing absolutely nothing.

At the current state, mining 10 million blocks with a stone axe in minecraft is more fun and rewarding than mining in DU.

Okay, a few things.  Any game without risk will become boring once you get past the challenge of building a bunch of interesting ships and a big factory.  Since DU has no NPCs to shoot you in the far reaches of space, it relies on players to make the risk.  Thankfully, there are a few of us that have happily stepped up and provided some risk in a few places.  As to PVP being a poor sink for resources, nothing could be further from the truth.  A PVP ship is a purpose built ship with no concessions to doing anything but filling it's combat role.  Slapping some guns on a cargo ship does not make it a PVP ship, it makes it an expensive cargo ship that can shoot things that don't move.  Building a fleet is an expensive endeavor, one that will only get more expensive as the meta progresses.  Supplying ammo and fuel to a fleet is also quite expensive, military engines in particular are quite thirsty.  It's also not trivial to haul all the juicy loot back to your base, especially when you get those transport ships that someone has been filling with days worth of T3 mining.

It is only boring to people without imagination. Stepping up to what? Destroying weeks of my life for your cheap 30 second thrill? You guys have horribly twisted minds.

[Suggestion on balancing the economy by limited talents]

I always have hated the idea of having to specialize. This forces me to create a crapton of characters and level them. Because of leveling so many characters I am burned out after 6 month and leave the game, so I fully reject this idea.

[Is this Beta or a paid Alpha]

You payed $120. I assume you paid for a supporter pack which means the money is applied to the release version next year. For supporters the beta is free.

[How can I go about a refund request?]

My lovely friend. The beta is part of testing. You are not supposed to play. You are supposed to test, nothing more.

[Reimbursement request]

The $120 will be used next year when to game is released. The Beta is free for backers.

[Why is it called Dual Universe when it's a single shard?]

I'll take a guess. This game will have land and space warfare.

[Why should i play this game?]

Well first figure out what the word game really means.

Then figure out what kind of games you like.

And now find that kind of game.

[GET IT TOGETHER NQ!]

I've been playing MMOs for the last 20 years and I consider the current problems as minor and to be expected.

[Congrats NQ]

It is just the whining of a few spoiled prats. I play video games since the mid 80's and this Beta is very smooth.

[How many players does the server support?]

They claim they can handle millions of players in a single shard server.

[So I pay to look at waiting screen?]

People like you make me ......

The reason that betas exist is to find and fix problems.

[Broken economy]

I watched my language. Believe me.

[bug riddled mess right now]

Let me ask you one question. What is the purpose of a BETA?

[Broken economy]

Jesus, the BETA is 2 days old and the release one year away and they already whine about little stupid shit.

[Horrible performance issues]

Are you using an SSD? If not get one asap.

[Performance issues]

I found that if you are not running this game from an SSD it is unplayable.
