  1. When I first heard that PC Games Insider had compared DU to NMS, I was worried that it was going to be a harsh/unfair comparison, but it seems to me that the article is pretty fair based on what information we have so far, which is nice to see.
  2. I think that the forum poll creator may be bugged... or maybe this is just the way it is supposed to be, but requiring a post title, poll title, and question seems excessive.
  3. Coworker and I drove 2.5 hours to get the full totality experience, but it took us over 6 hours to drive back because of the traffic and multiple wrecks.
  4. I apologize. I didn't mean the comment as a negative against you or BOO. I don't suspect foul-play since you have taken the time to make sure that everything it done right and planned ahead of time. I was merely thinking that since we are already spending the time running organizations, there may be someone outside of all of that willing to oversee these tests. Other people and organizations would of course be able to help out to the extent that they are interested, but that way it would be completely independent. I had assumed that there were going to be mods or posts in game letting everyone know when mass testing was needed. But regardless of what I said, this idea of having mass organizations during the alpha for testing or fun purposes has been mentioned and commented on before so don't think that you are alone in it's conception. Although you do seem to be the first that has actually began an effort to organize for it, please don't act like you are the only one who puts in forethought about the game, there are many dedicated people outside of BOO.
  5. I think these should be led by someone not associated with an organization, maybe even a mod.
  6. Not too many changes recently, there are a few new smaller organizations. @yamamushi, @Kurock, and @Astrophil are amassing a large number of smaller organizations, not sure what they are up to with that. Shockeray's Dual Universe Community Map 1.1.5 8-19-17 Image as usual:
  7. There are so many awesome ideas in this post that it's overwhelming. Great job guys!
  8. I too would like to eventually see other outfits and modifications of those outfits, either through dying and/or mixing and matching. But I don't think that the idea fits as well into this world as it would into say the WoW universe. We are all going to be space explorers from the same mothership, so realistically the uniform variety would be minimum seeing as everyone is the same rank. But ignoring that fact, it would be nice to see a variety of climate based outfits for people in different biomes as well as some way that you could differentiate different organizations at a distance just by what they are wearing. Especially in a world where everyone may be machine-raised/genetically-modified.
  9. I'd be interested to see how the community size just before alpha compares to when the charts were left off. Whether or not the growth continued at a steady pace or plateaued. It feels like it plateaus between DU news releases.
  10. I'm right there with you. probably going to do a 48 hour binge on alpha day (at least until the servers crash).
  11. I would think that you could get away with stationary rings without breaking immersion, but it would be nice if there could be orbiting moons. Although I suspect that you would run into the same issues of planets orbiting a star.
  12. Calm down Haunty, if you just want to throw your money at someone, I volunteer as tribute.
  13. It would be nice if they implemented some kind of gifting option. For example you could buy a gold tier code and then give it to someone who could use it to get gold on their account.
  14. I believe that topic is locked.
  15. I tried, but whenever I submit my changes an error occurs. I tried both logged in and logging out but couldn't get it to work. EDIT: Seems gamepedia doesn't allow normal users to add links.
  16. I was beginning to find it frustrating trying to hunt down little bits of information in videos in order to help people out so I thought that I would make a summary of the Dev Diaries.

  17. This is the first video where they really talked heavily about the server setup and showed artificial players in game. There is a little more shown at the end of this video as well.
  18. Okay, so for 1.1.4 I cut out all of the 2 member orgs in order to gain some performance. I know there are a lot of you that are no longer going to be on the map, but it was seriously laggy. Just go invite a friend or family member and you will be on the next map. (Please don't just make alts. It's not allowed and a great way to lose reputation or your org.) It seems that all orgs with Ardour as legate have "mysteriously" vanished. Not gonna comment more on that, but here are the orgs I noticed missing: Unity League, Galactic Exchange, Coming soon, AEF Counter Intelligence Agency, The Bulwark Treaty. Cartagena is still being a pain and tying a bunch of orgs down. (Organizations should be allowed to be free! This captivity is a crime! Join Soul Nebula to be free of Cartagena's bondage!) Would be interested in seeing how the community is growing. If only @Anasasi would update his charts... (the updated community page probably messed up his gathering method though) Shockeray's Dual Universe Community Map 1.1.4 8-1-17 and image!
  19. Sounds like an interesting idea. Although I don't see a reason to post it four times in succession. I was also pretty excited when I saw the amount of things that they were going to unlock in the LUA (although it may become more restricted later).
  20. If you are skeptical about some game-play aspect or the game in general, don't pay to play it during the alpha which is going to be probably bug riddled and, as clearly stated by JC, only a small part of total future game-play. Just wait till you can hear from people who are in the Alpha and Beta phases to tell you what the game is like and whether the game is going to succeed from their perspective, according to the progression of the game development that is yet to be seen in constant updated detail. Also I have to agree with @Lethys; just wait for full launch and play the free trial period. If you don't think you will play the game, then you have lost nothing.
  21. That was a good interview. It's always nice to see a rehashing of earlier discussions as the project progresses.
  22. In my opinion, at least in Alpha the only reason to war will be to test any mechanics that are implemented. Since the servers are going to be worked on and reset, there is no long term gains by war and thus it will probably only be done for fun and to bug test. Once the full game is released the reasons will be the same as real life: struggles over valuable resources or land, trying to destroy the assets of an enemy, just plain power struggles for show or politics, and I guess for fun too.
  23. Well automatic French CCing Google-translated to English doesn't work. Guess I'll just have to wait for that translation...
  24. Which org is this? I see silver2127 in: The Eternal Republic (Legate) [is this the new org you are referring to?] The Eldritch Nation Darius Sanguna Empire [former TVR I think] DUA - Diverse Unified Accord Terran Union
