[Is there HOTAS support yet?]

4 hours ago, NQ-Ligo said:

To answer your question, Dual Universe does have Joystick and Hotas support in the true sense of the word.
 

Nevertheless, their integration in the gameplay, especially the piloting, requires some adjustments, additions and changes.

This is something we want to integrate but it will probably only be integrated post-release.

In that case i think you mean DU has the modules to use HOTAS anda stick but it is not implemented yet.

Meaning in the true sense, DU does not support HOTAS and Sticks.

 

never thye less good to see more NQ posting lately

My kid plays in a sandbox that has more potential as DU at the moment

 

That sandbox properly also has a functioning open market system and (un)wanted pvp

plus over powered parental police to enforce rules

I just logged in to the new update and all my talents have been cleared and I am getting an RSI injury to my fingers and wrist having to re-add every single talent one by one from scratch with over 80 000 000 talent points to distribute.

Please give us a much quicker way to re-add our talent points when you reset them?

 

Personally I have no intention on playing as i dont know when or if they plan to wipe. Not going to play if they wipe in a week or 2 kinda deal.

So my plan i to just set +300day of training an leave the +80mill xp in the bank

I was shocked when they said they are considering removing schemattics. I get they are highly unpopular, and a sticking point for some people. But they are a gate keeper for production. It means when someone wants an item  they will actually check the market instead of build it themselves. It is also the largest quanta sink ingame.  If anything I feel that the prices on schemattics are far to cheap. Even for basic stuff. 

 

You make it harder to get production setup , less people will setup personal production lines and buy the item off the market.

No it is not, it is an impassable barriers that stop players in there tracks, hence the great exodus of 0.23.

Sure it fits with NQ stick and no reward mentality + survivalist grind fest, but if they want more customers they need to bring out the carrots and rewards. as only die hard fans seems willing to play and that in a niche game.

That's because NQ's countless managers are all locked in a room to discuss the wipe! badum-tish...

Burning down a forest is also more activity than growing one.

 

eeeeh, set a forest on fire and it will burn for some days, all it takes is 1 match. But regrowing it naturally will take decades. even planting trees will take month to years depending on size

All that aside, removing safe zones is kind of a moot point when there's no prospects of territory war. Why does it matter where there's safe zones when there's literally nothing to fight over...?

 

It's a sandbox , it should be easy for pvp people to come up with a reason to pewpew :):)

Does anyone else think this information is oddly specific given that, allegedly, no decision has been made about doing a wipe?

 

'We have no idea if we are even going to wipe at all but we have decided that if you are the super league of an org which owns a wrapped BP inside a construct's container you will definitely get to keep that'.

 

Busted indeed ....

not really, fairly straight forward actually.

 

parse constructs > move bp to /dev/nul /nanopack

[Game client is not working on my computer since May]

Supressing and censoring would be yet another nail in DU coffin, do you really want to hammer that in?

 

The game is death because

- NQ have managed to lose almost all active players

-The game has been stuck in beta for years

-The dev have no managed to produce any meaning full updates in years

-NQ kickstarter claims have been thrown out the window (openworld, market, freebuild)

-NQ complete and uther disregard for feedback

- At the rate that NQ is adding, upgrading or fixing things the game will need years more in beta before going live

 

the list goes on and on

J'oublier que les studios de jeux vidéos des autres nationalités sont TOUS tellement plus efficient que NOVAQUARK, vos argumentations atteignent des sommets du ridicule sur ce fil.

Bref NQ est NQ ce n'est pas parce qu'il sont français qu'ils sont spécialement mauvais.

Dans d'autres jeux spatial nous avons également pu voir l'incompétence de certain studio à gérer leurs communautés. (SC, Starbase ...), rien a voir avec le fait d'être français ou non.

 

I have to agree bad management is a global issue, but there is nuances. for France that is to discussion everything to death.

My country is often see seen as rude and abrasive, because we can be a VERY direct and dont mind telling people incl ze boss

The vids of the battle looked very boring though, even more boring then EvE vids . never the less glad you had fun

 

- can you disable the shield effect (looks ugly as f...)

- can you change ammo effect

- does everyone have modded huds

- how possible is it to battle with a standard ship/lua/hud

They're actually doing a full wipe? I might actually start playing again if that's the case, when it happens.

 

I am curious in what you expect to gain in a wipe that would be better then no wipe?

[SHEDDING LIGHT ON A NOVAQUARK INTERNAL DISCUSSION - discussion thread]

It seems many of you are more interested in keeping BP then skill points, i find that a little strange.

 

bp's can be recreate, the time spend on skill points cannot. That makes skill point the only item with true value.

Its not about PVP players it is NQ forcing us to abandon large ships with voxels and ccs to fly an element only ship to be viable. Me always for a fight if you know me

 

But it is the same, only difference is PVP players are there willingly

suggestions from previous similar threat

- do not fly what you cannot lose

- be better prepared

- bring more friends

 

Oh, and Yes the radar change sounds stupid but, hey, it is DU

@FuriousPuppy perhaps you should step away from DU now clearly you mental state is being affected badly

I don't really get it from a business perspective. The longer you play the game, the more it costs NQ. Why would they then reward players with free time? That's combining higher cost with no revenue.

 

A free month would be a hook to try and gain players that normally would not try a game, nothing is lost and you gain a potential player.

The down side is players that would not have joined the game, perhaps learn they where right and stay away for ever

Sounds like there is being advocated for safe zones in pvp :):) perhaps also add a pvp flag so pve player can be safe ?
