Sadly I don't see the forum getting attention anymore, the community has felt abandoned, and unresponsive.

Pretty please?
I would settle for a ground smooth tool that actually smooths rather then create spikes and black triangles. I have gotten pretty good at digging holes, placing a blob back and resmoothing over and over again until I get a reasonable result, but it is painfully cumbersome. and we are now a year into release.

I'm pretty sure that we are way overdue for a few long awaited quality of life fixes.
 
Thanks!

Or maybe it 's better to do as with asteroids ?  The scanned territory, after a day, is open to everyone. It does not need to be scanned by anyone again. Just on the map, already opened hexes will display the amount of ore.

@Zeddrick Well written arguments, nothing to add there.
One other thing NQ did and keeps on doing to make it impossible for players to have fun is limit really everything. Almost everything that was possible in alpha has gotten a limitation of some kind, and those in general did make the game worse.
 
In general if the players need to generate content but the content generated is costing you too much to keep on a crippled server the road forward is severely blocked.
 
Game got so boring there is actually no reason to log in, frankly i rather go to work and have fun with my co-workers

Get rid of Artificial Speed Limits. Makes the game boring to play -without alt-accounts. It’s hours of slow boating either to mission run, either to roid running. Slow boating is no activity. Besides VR a bit.
 
Ore distribution should me managed in regards of tiles. New players can’t find free t2+ tiles anymore. 
 
PVP should have different mechanics for hunting and defence including engine or warp disruption. But the Speer limit is a joke. 
 
DU needs more PVE content, better mission running, better looting with more interesting rewards, like skill books or skill points bonuses, etc. or discovery missions like if you explore a moon, a planet you can find something interesting. 
 
introduction of life system, like food, energy, rest - could improve skill point rate for example, if your char has a cozy environment. Like in RUST.  Could make housing, interior and base building more interesting. Energy farms, food farms could be possible and interior would get a function.
 
 

So for me, there were all sorts of small failures along the way (many in beta, some since) but they are all really just details next to the central problem.  One of the key features of the design for DU was that players would provide *all of the content*.  That meant that the game just needed to provide the mechanics and frameworks and literally everything else would be player driven.
 
Now players did actually try to do this.  There were people who created puzzles, etc for people to solve, created factions who fought each other, tried to build whole cities and many other interesting things.  The game and its developers seem to fight against content creators at every turn - recent examples being ship builders being put off because the stacked element checker means they have no way to know whether or not they are selling ships which will error 6 months later and warring factions being put off because nobody can shoot each other in battles.
 
Putting that aside though, I think that the one thing this game has proved beyond all doubt is that a game with solely player built content does not work.  You need to have some other content created by the game itself first in order to create gameplay loops that players can do when they aren't doing any group content.  A player needs to be able to just log in, play for 1/2 an hour, enjoy that time and profit from it.

So the one thing I would have done right away is add some background life to the game.  Put creatures in that might attack the player, make some basic challenges on the ground and in space, give players something to shoot at and reasons for doing so (protect base, get resources, whatever).  That would also give them a reason to team up, live in walled villages or space stations with a large shield, etc.  Some of this was in the original game design videos which were put out.  Then I would have built on it by adding more of a survival element to the game, adding PvE and NPCs to allow players to make their spaces more interesting.  I can build a huge space station but it has nobody in it at the moment, let me make it more interesting, make a bar where NPCs come and players I let in might be able to get missions from those NPCs.  I think that would have given players much more of a sense of shared purpose and struggle and a reason to come together into groups and play together.
 
As it is the game is, frankly, boring.  It's a game relying on player created content which literally deletes player created content on a regular basis made by a company which has no problem with breaking existing content and blaming that on the players trying to create it.  The world itself, and the constructs the game allows you to create, are fairly static and uninteresting too and it is difficult to come up with actual functions for many of the rooms in a construct.  I can add a bed but it has no use.  A lot of the cool stuff I see is just huge empty shell buildings with one or two rooms because people made them to look pretty rather than because they needed the space for things.

Do you believe misleading is not fraud? let's assume this is so. But I personally have heard many times from other people that they accidentally fell for this trick. This is especially true for beginners.  I don't understand why the market is anonymous, let everyone sell goods from himself or his corporation. That would be fair. Whitelists and blacklists are also useful. 
And in order to have fewer such errors, it is enough to enter a delay of 1 minute to cancel the operation.

Then this post is not for you.  If you don't need a warp beacon, it doesn't mean that other players don't need it.  I make a lot of flights, there are bases on all planets and orbits, I calibrate miners, take and complete missions that are transported by other players. And every time I have to return to my base 2.5 - 3 sous.  It seems not far, but it's 10 - 15 minutes of time. And there can be 5-6 such flights in an evening. A warp beacon is a natural technology for a space game, and in DU, they made a super value out of a warp beacon. Even if there is no plasma in production, this technology is expensive in itself in terms of quantum, resources and production time.

Is this my personal opinion or has the graphics become much worse after patch 1.3 (removal of EBIS effects)? I mean, if you have a white ship, do you guys also now need a welding mask to play?

If you want good feedback to make this game work DO NOT disable new suggestions ("Idea Box" forum). Or to allow a giving of more clarity to existing mechanism would be smartly encouraged. If something is not a bug or is not working fluidly, then where does a person post this suggestion if it is that?
If the Idea Box is disabled than in essence the devs are basically saying to the players we do not care about your suggestion STAY FRUSTRATED BUT pay us money for it! This is very insulting to a new player. Please open this forum up to suggestions that are constructive and thought out and procedural/methodical. Thank you.

"Off Topic" posts are more encouraged by these forums then actually making this game better. Imagine that!

 

You don't have to think that everyone should play the way you want.  This game is not about PVP, no matter how much I would like it. PVP in DU is for a big fan, that's why not so many people participate in it.
And even if someone is ready to give up everything, work, family, (I'm exaggerating, of course) and not sleep at night to fight for plasma, this is his personal business.  This does not mean that other players should do the same.  For you, plasma is the pinnacle of progress in the game.  For me, this is just one of the tools for a comfortable long-term gameplay, no matter what I do in the game, and there is a lot to do here. Resource extraction is only a small part.  And I don't need plasma. I need warp beacons. If you think that plasma is the only thing that makes a PVP game, I can assure you this is the most depressing incentive.

Dear developers of the Dual Universe game!

What do you think about the resources that are owned by the two largest corporations?
Are there any plans to add a drop of justice for the rest of the community, which also needs rare resources? In particular, we are talking about plasma and the inability to build a warp beacon without this component. Or do you think that long flights add interest to the game?
Add the possibility of obtaining rare resources in other ways, even if with great risk, or exclude this resource from the components of the construction of a warp beacon.

As strange as it may sound, immortality makes this game lifeless.  There is not enough survival mode. Production and storage of products. Oxygen is used both for growing food and for breathing. Refueling the power suit. An external environment that can kill. Game bots. Even decorative items could be useful. For example, storage cabinets.  Portable flowerbeds for growing a small amount of food on the ship. It is beautiful for interior decoration and practical. And many more similar little things would give the game life.

Not a bad idea. The core makes plasma extraction with the least effort. The ability to make is also interesting, but I would add the ability to find plasma or high-level items at points of interest that drop out randomly in dangerous space, this will add meaning to look for abandoned objects that few people need now.  For large corporations, this will not provide interest, but for small ones it will.

Just get ride of the slow loading animations. I hate this when I’m just trying two do the calibration and have two watch this over and over
