  1. The tutorials all need a thorough rework as well as more thorough testing than the system we have got.

     

    A free VR pod with the Sanctuary TU that allows you to access any tutorial when you need it would be perfect.  Having to travel to brush up on something is pretty numb. I just didn't bother.

    Ground PVP is not due for another 6-8 months at least. Where did you get the idea that it may be "soon" (tm)?

     

    The coming update will add the three space PVP items which have now been well discussed:

    Better cross section calculation

    radar lock range same across radar sizes

    weapon limitations based on core size

     

    On top of that I expect NQ will bring in the industry changes JC spoke of several times which in effect will make industry a _lot_ harder to get into for new players while probably leaving existing mega factories intact. 

     

    And then there is the perma damage and maneuver took changes as well as the blueprint changes and the changes to how a construct recovers from a disconnect discussed in the two devblogs we have already seen and a handful of other changes.

     

    In general I expect NQ will pretty much make the game harder to get into and make it harder to progress to slow "us" down as we are outpacing their ability to bring in new "stuff". The nerf for industry will be severe and will be quickly countered by especially the existing user base by going for smaller, more specialized industry in bigger numbers instead of singe "do-it-all" mega factories. The multitiered production may also be part of this update but I am not sure at all how that will pan out as the majority of players wil be fine with "the basic stuff" with the higher tier elements more geared towards PVP use (i think)

     

     

    And that is it, next up (in about 3-4) months will be power management and probably reiteration of the changes brought in on the coming patch. Territory warfare may come in next, so 6-8 months and I believe that to not be an unreasonable assumption since we know NQ has not even started their initial implementation of Territory warfare yet (as they have said themselves)

     

    So no, ground PVP wil not arrive anytime soon as I see it. By the time that comes we'll be close to summer and it will be interesting to see how NQ thinks they can go from there to get all the other stuff in and fix all the core bugs and performance issues still present before going gold for release in 10 months from now allowing for 1-2 months of final tweaks.

     

     

    Current dev blogs on next patch are in the announcement section of this forum

    November Devblog: Construct Intellectual Protection & Blueprint Duplication - Rules & Announcements - Dual Universe (dualthegame.com)

    November DevBlog 2: Element Destruction - Rules & Announcements - Dual Universe (dualthegame.com)

    November DevBlog 3: The Maneuver Tool and Disconnecting Ships! - Rules & Announcements - Dual Universe (dualthegame.com)

    Do you have a link to the industry changes dev blog?

     

    Could this be why the L cores were bought en-masse?

  3. I was in game and placed an XS Static Core down which i was unable to see but did appear under maps/constructs, i logged out to see if that would fix it and i couldn't log back in. I quit the game and the launcher would not highlight the start/launch button.

    I tried changing to Google's DNS, disabling IP6 and added the game to the Firewall, but it did not help.

    No problems with my connection otherwise, i am using it to post this, stream TV and i can log in to Path of Exile.

     

    Does anyone have any ideas?

     

    Edit: My launcher window didn't close on it's own this time and informed me it was unable to reach the update server.

    Edit 2: It is working now, i guess the update server was down.

  4. Simple solution for this problem is what EVE does with it's low level NPC trade goods.

     

    After you have sold 1000 of that item to the NPC the price gets worse and worse and then stays that way for a week of time. You now need to find a new NPC to sell it to in another hub.

     

    New players can use it to get a boost, older players ignore it as it is not worth the effort to visit that many hubs that many times.

  5. According to another forum post there was a tutorial that would take me to the Sanctuary moon.  I picked up my blueprints made the vehicle and that's it. (Although this was 2 months apart as my GPU wouldn't run DU at more than 5fps).  I found the tutorial centre, did what i could there and after that did my own thing.

     

    Is there a tutorial chain to follow? If so how do i get to it?

     

    I'm currently on Alioth mining and being annoyed i can't make a bigger container but i can make a production line 5 times the size of a container.  I want to start setting up all the production i need but i don't want to start building extensively until i find a place with better minerals.

     

    Can some recommend a planet?

    Also, are all surface deposits listed in the information window about the planet or just the ones you can find underground or both?

     

    Thanks in advance.

  6. Do they really need to be gated?

     

    Logically it doesn't make any sense to me. I can build an XS container but no larger but i can build a production line, which is much bigger than an S container, that will build me a bigger production line so i can build the next size up and so on.

     

    I can understand the purpose of this process for everything else, but basic storage, meh.

  7. My specs exceed the minimum and almost meets the recomended.

     

    i5-6600K @ 4.5Ghz

    16Gb of 2666 RAM

    GTX 970

    Samsung m.2 NVME SSD

    Drivers are up to date

     

    From looking at component usage in Afterburner, the GPU is the bottlneck but I'm getting maybe 5-10fps is this normal?  Is it just because the game hasn't been optomised and has limited graphics settings while in beta?

     

    My card is due an upgrade anyway but i wanted to check i wasn't missing something.
