  1. the amount of people required to pull of this update extraordinary https://www.dualuniverse.game/launcher/patch/release-1416 is what you have to deal with. to be fair some of the time between that update and the previews was the x-mas weeks, so here is the previous patch https://www.dualuniverse.game/launcher/patch/release-1415 As i see it DU is now a pet project of NQ, they have other things to do that are more rewarding to the company. But they still have a little space in the corner for their first game. And that is ok just dont expect any thing speciel from NQ.
  2. I suggest you skim the patch logs and see what you think https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/forum/66-patch-notes/ The replies you will get here are from the remaining diehards in our various shapes and sizes, so it will be better to form your own opinion. How ever... No, there has not been any actual content for a long time, DU is in hibernation while NQ either gets more cash or DU closes the doors for good. There are small stuff here and there but it feels like it's a 1 man weekend project, which is fine, if it was sold as such. Only real future i see for DU is if the NQ Team has gone into hiding while furiously RE coding ½ or more of the game, with attention to detail and an actual plan time time around. Experience can be painful to gain at times, but starting over is a valid choice. just DU it.
  3. who on earth is going on in the above vid?
  4. DU is in an artificial coma. NQ is either to scare to pull the plug or they are trying to get funding / resources by doing other project. At least that is my 50c based on what little we know edit: Oh and the shifted to far towards survival games vs open sandbox
  5. I think NQ has giving up on DU a long time ago, it is now a side hustle then can do when the other games compile and for shits and giggles of cause. nothing more nothing less. The cost is properly absorbed in other project as they share resources, other wise it would just be a waste of resources. conspiracy theory: It is test to see how long they can string players along and still make them pay, but even that fails as most left in 0.23 edit: oh stop posting, we almost got to 14 days with no posts again. 3 times the charm for sure
  6. along the line of @blundertwink we almost had the first time with no posts in general in a 48 hours time span last week Maybe you can scavenge more people in discord or if you post location info sooner
  7. Could that blob of text be considered out of context since we only see that single quote? This is my take, the poster is a wannabe wordsmith with little to no finesse, he is trying to sound smart by making over complicated an long posts with little to no actual content, that doesn't make him a bad person, just obnoxious and looong winded to read/listen to. It might also suffer from "google" translate issues, it may have sounded better in french. Self proclaimed intelligence, that rarely goes well. DU is referred to in past tense, will they finally man up and close it. 3 new project, could be literally anything, company fishing trip to the job center, chess game med in ascii, hide money from IRS in other companies wall of text disappoints for 9000 pointy over
  8. CCP makes of NQ biggest source of content started with just 21 employees, point being you do not need millions of people to make a game. what CCP had was properly actual game making experiences and above all an actual plan they followed through on.
  9. We sure can, we have 8 years of experience with NQ/DU, plenty of time to see how they operate. On top of that the game IS finished, they did a launch and it is sold as finished on Steam.
  10. I will slightly disagree here, i often seen dev just yodel along with out giving security even the slightest though. I think it is important to have security in mind when you code 100% of the time, but not necessarily as your main objective. (Semantics perhaps?)
  11. 1. no troll posts here, you might not like it but The reality is that: - NQ CEO and staff has confirmed that they have other priorities. - Lack of updates and and improvements over 8 years - Lack of follow through on errors and exploits - Not talking to and/or insulting the community with weak stuff - Crating there own game in 0.23 0.24 and so on despite plenty warnings - Blind coping EvE with out understanding the deeper reasoning EvE does X - Not finishing what they do and leave countless big and small errors, it a dangerous attitude that will come back and rip you arms off - reducing server power. These are just some of my observations, you can dislike it and call it a troll post but it is based on facts collected over time. What i dont is why NQ doesn't just fold and cut there costs.
  12. maybe try and reply with something useful instead of stroking your epen
  13. it is irrelevant because you are moving attention away from a post and on the the poster. you have the same phenomenon around post count and forum join day, where some people put those i high regard when they are not.
