Attention, Noveans: The Public Test Server (PTS) is opening on Thursday, June 16th, at 13:30 UTC and ending on Monday, June 20th, at 09:00 UTC. The Mercury update brings many new features to Dual Universe. You can explore the Alioth Exchange, see the latest visual improvements such as our implementation of Global Illumination, or test the Lua API revamp first hand. Join the PTS for a first look. You’ll find the full list of Mercury’s additions here. We hope you’ll enjoy what our latest update has to offer! Your feedback is critical for our efforts to fine-tune Dual Universe. Please help us create the best version of the game that we can by joining the test session and sharing your thoughts and your feedback with us here. Mercury is planned for mid-summer 2022.

Just to clarify, there are 16 lots per hall, and there are four halls in the Exchange, which is a total of 64 lots for the building. I hope that helps!

(plus binary code) (And there you have it, I will admit it was quite a bit of fun gathering these special quotes/sayings!) I sure hope to (and have some in the works too!)

For the missing haikus: Noctillucet Dawn Before strange schematic flies From the industry Upon a chilled spring Before Athena brings A colorful egg prize As for quotes/sayings: NQ-Rubicon: Although wishing to be rid of misery, They run towards misery itself.

Thanks! Most excellent start! Let me compare it to my list and see which eggs are missing.

Why certainly, I'd be happy to! Could you tell me the ones you already have and maybe share them here on the forum? I know there was a document started, but I think it would be great to share them here as well. I'll do my best to fill in any missing eggly messages.

The results for our Egg-cellent Adventure are in! We hope that you had the most eggs-travagant time during our Egg-cellent Adventure event! A huge thank you to everyone for participating and finding the eggs (with the prizes inside) so quickly! All eggs were deployed very carefully and as it might surprise some of you, they were also deployed individually in some obvious and some not so obvious spots. (The egg placements were not driven by a script, each egg’s location was chosen and placed by hand by someone on the Novaquark team.) How many eggs were deployed? Who got the most eggs and/or points? Read on! In total there were 424 eggs deployed and even though many of you quickly became eggs-pert egg detectives, there were 24 eggs that remained untracked (or is it uncracked?). One of which was NQ-Mojo’s special egg (the only NQ egg that wasn't found), which escaped detection in a snowy and cold destination. Points for eggs were as follows depending on rarity (and egg color): White (1 point), Green (3 points), Yellow (5 points), Blue (8 points), Red (10 points). Special NQ eggs (15 points). Who found the most eggs? Belorion Who got the most points? Tekhamon Who found the most NQ eggs? Tekhamon Who found the first egg? MrERNST Who found the most common eggs? Tied between Belorion and MrERNST Who found the last placed egg? Belorion In the common-tiered eggs, there were haiku messages that were found inside. Here are a few examples: Sunset Alioth A small Sanctuary sits Beyond the Haven Elderly Sundown A small Thoramine hunted Betrayed by the poor Icy outer space A coarse, sluggish adjustor Beyond the ship The special NQ eggs all had unique and personalized message inside. Some were clues, some were favorite sayings and quotes. Did you find a special NQ egg? Please share with us the message inside! We hope that everyone enjoyed one of the first of its kind Dual Universe event and we thank you for participating. A special shout-out goes to NQ-Rubicon for his eggs-pert egg deployments as well as NQ-Nicodemus for creating the most eggs-travagant egg design/construction. Okay, no more egg puns now. Did you find an egg or a different message than the ones above? What did you do with all the loot you got from inside as well as the eggs themselves? We would love to see your screenshots too! NQ-Nyota's egg: NQ-AntiGravitas' egg: NQ-Lasius' egg: NQ-Mojo's never found egg: NQ-Nicodemus' egg: NQ-Rubicon's egg:

Should be good now, thanks.

Thanks, let me fix that.

Noveans, First, we wish to thank everyone for all of your feedback and questions about the topic Shedding Light on a Novaquark Internal Discussion. We wanted to let everyone know that the internal discussions are still in process and currently ongoing with all of the pros and cons mentioned in the thread above. This is a big decision and we want to do what is right for Dual Universe, as well as our current and future players. We have been reading all of your feedback and questions, and they have been extremely useful in our internal discussions. As soon as a decision is made, we will pass that information to you. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to explore and investigate the best possibilities for Dual Universe. Thank you! In addition, we will soon have information about the Kickstarter Rewards, as well as DACs to share, so please keep watch for that! New Community Podcast We know that you have many questions about many Dual Universe topics on your mind. Next week, we will be starting a new podcast where we will be bringing your questions to our Novaquark team for answers. How does it work? Good question! If you have a question about Dual Universe (game mechanics, lua, FTUE - these are just some examples of topics to ask about), then head over to our Community Questions Submission Form and enter your question(s) there. Once submitted, just listen to the upcoming podcasts and your question may be included there. We look forward to hearing from you!

Expect a post with the egg results very soon now! By the way Belorion, did you enjoy the messages inside the eggs? You did find mine, so I have to ask!

We'll be announcing the winners soon. We wanted to give everyone a chance to put the codes that they found into the form first.

Hey everyone! We wanted to let everyone know that the internal discussions are still ongoing. We have been reading your feedback (all of it - really!), and we wanted to express our sincere thanks to everyone for joining in the discussion. We have also been gathering your questions (please continue asking them if they haven't already been asked in this thread) and we'll do our best to have some answers for you as soon as we can. Thanks again, we really do appreciate all of the feedback. ❤️

Good question! You will be able to see the locations of your constructs on the new system map if they are selected in the left menu. Sharing the location with your friends/organization and anyone else, you'll need to send them the coordinates. I hope that helps!

The Dual Universe egg hunt has begun Noveans! From Saturday, April 16th to Monday, April 25th, please join us for An Egg-cellent Adventure! All around Alioth you will randomly find colored eggs on the ground as well as some other in plain sight places. Some of them you may find often (common), some of them might be a rare find or if your egg detecting skills meet the challenge, you may find a special Novaquark staff egg! All eggs contain gifts from the Novaquark team, so do not forget to smash them open to see what’s inside! There have been several players who have already found some eggs, so you’re going to need to be quick, lucky, as well as very observant! There’s more! This Egg-tastic celebration is also a competition. Each egg is worth a certain amount of point(s), which means the rarer the egg, the more points you will get. Colors include white eggs (most common), green, yellow, blue, red and the very special Novaquark staff egg which is the most valuable of them all! Once you find an egg, there will be a special code inside (read carefully!). Copy the code and enter it into this simple form that is linked inside the egg and register your code to start accumulating points! Helpful Hint: Start your search by looking around the Point of Interests (POIs) around Alioth. Good luck Noveans, be egg-cellent to each other.
