refining coal shouldn't make wood either, but its what you need to do to get wood.

Am I the only one who is annoyed that refining certain ores increases their total mass? 
 
For example, 65L (5.04 kg/L) of Hematite is 327.6 kg but is turned into 45L of pure iron (7.85 kg/L) which is 353.25 kg. This only gets worse with better talents letting you use less then 65L of Hematite to get the same amount of iron.
 
In addition to being unintuitive, it's a pain to have to remember which ores are supposed to be refined before transport and which are supposed to be refined after transport to be as mass efficient as possible. 
 
Either the ratio of ores to pure products should be increased or the density of Hematite and a few others should be increased so it's almost more mass efficient to refine at mining location then transport the pure products instead of the other way around.
 
 

Patch 1.0.1 states "Fixed a potential exploit", was that exploit actual misused? Do you have a way to check that? And if it was misused, did you roll back the misuse?
 
Because during the last two years during beta, NQ has fixed exploits, but never the misuse that was done with them. That resulted in the economical mess in DU that required a complete wipe. If NQ doesn't roll back exploit misuses, we'll be at the same state in another two years (another wipe)... So that's why I find such info important.
 
Edit: Patch 1.0.3 states "Fixed an exploit.", that sounds like it was actually misused. So where the misuses rolled back as well here? What happened to the accounts that were exploiting?

How do new recruits get 1 mil skill points and the rest of us get jacked with 0 free skill points.

Considering those of us who were Founders are still waiting 6 years later for all of our Kickstarter rewards, I'd comfortably say don't hold your breath. 

WTF where are you living guys with this Pricing for such a Game?
I tought there was some improvement since i am not playing, but its still the same. The Steam comments will kill you.
i also expected you to try and bring back old players for free. I dont want to start playing again on a crap Demo Server but also dont want to pay 15$ to see what you did since the last years.
i thought you were going to start a second chance via steam, but you won't get many players that way. Not the old ones and certainly not the new ones. How can you be so out of touch with reality. The game had potential, but this will never be something.

This game will be like starbase and that was a one time purchase price i wont be returning to pay $15 a month for this id rather spend $15 on a mmo that has content peace out DU 

yep,
 
byebye
 
It was fun when it lasted but the monthly cost will kill DU. 
 
asking this for a semi working empty sandbox and everything is limited to death with no real pvp or colaboration and the best it offers is calibration mini games.
 
You have offended probably your whole playerbase.
 
not in beta anymore........you never entered beta all we have seen here was at best open alpha.
 
If my boss starts running his business like this i am gone look for a new job Very fast.

The devs have been ignoring the forums for 7+ years...  Any good ideas you guys come up with have already been covered and ignored several times.   Have a nice day.

This game is nothing more than a cash grab.  Taking advantage of the normies and the gamers suffering from SFB.  
NQ is cutting their losses and making back what they can and then milking this barren, lifeless, pay-to-wait, boring, non-sandbox sandbox game for the little it's worth.
The real entertainment will come from the reviews.  Watching the white-knights try to defend this game from real criticism is going to be fun to watch.
P.S.  all you plebs that said you where not going to play if there was a wipe... lol   Looks like you're all still here, lol
 
/feelsbadman   my saltiness comes from what could have been if the devs made an adventure game around the voxel building and industry, instead of treating the builders like the red headed step children and catering to the corporation and pvp players.

Yes, this works.  Also works for any other game.  Should be made standard at this point, really.

$200 Cdn a year for this?  There is no way this game with the features available is worth that kind of money.  I can't see how this game stays viable.

NQ not communicating?  Hello.  This is their status quo.  The Trial server was up for over a day before they announced it...

So just to recap. You are wiping all of our player made content and progress from the last two years, going from Beta to Launch with almost no real new content/systems ready at launch (only quality of life improvements) and now you are more than doubling the price of the monthly subscription? Do you guys say these things out loud in meetings before you announce them? You know it sounds crazy right? 

You had better add some damn content then if you expect to be charging full mmo retail. This weak ass crap we have now isn't worth 15 bucks a month.

You mean AWS, that grinds to a halt every other time there's a new patch, or every time there's a wednesday in the week.
 
Also what Zarcata said. You're gonna charge full price for half a game? What a joke.
 
Edit:
And this is a flat-out lie. The game is barely out of alpha, every bug fix introduces new bugs. "Won't be in a beta state" my ass.
 

Excuse me, but I think it's a dream that this game is no longer a beta. Also that it should have a value of 12,99€ (times Euro in my room). When I launch the game, which is more like half a game with no content, it will compete with real games bulging with content. How, please, does this price reflect the content of the game? Then please, slap a shop still in the game for cosmetic things so you can survive financially.

This is some pathetic attempt at reverse psychology...  
Those who don't want a wipe are terrified of being surpassed be new players...  See how stupid it sounds.  It sounds stupid because no one has brought that argument to the table, until now... as some pathetic attempt at reverse psychology.
At least come here with something good.  put some thought into it.

You can buy game time codes from Markee Dragon now which will be valid after the release.  For example you can buy a year of game time and apply it to your account now.  If the sub pricing and model were changing then I imagine they wouldn't allow that.

The last official pricing update was in November 2021. There has been no changes since then and as of writing the current subscription model is expected to remain in place. There are however a few things that will be changing with the release of Dual Universe on September 27th.
Dual Universe will also be launching on steam and existing players will have the option of linking their steam accounts. Steam users will be able to to evaluate the game for free on a trial server with regular resets. Players who have expired subscriptions prior to launch will be awarded 2 weeks of free gametime on the main persistent server. DACs will be issued to all Kickstarter backers who will then be able to redeem them for 1 month of gametime each

Remove schematics. I already have a job, I dont need another tedious game to drown myself completely in it.
I see a lot of games lately start using schematics. Who in the world came with this idea??? They were not meant for this type of game.
I`ve got a feeling that in the game industry there is a budle idea on how to terminate a game without causing too much rage, and in this bundle there is "schematics".
We are suppose to discover the game, not losing our selfs into an ocean of meaningless things that makes you completly forget what the game is all about, Anakin !!
