Underhand Aerial

Lange hab ich das Game verfolgt, immer mit dem Gedanken..nein keine Beta zocken, Alpha scho gar nicht...wenn ich was kaufen muss soll es auch schon zum größten Teil funktionieren
Nach einiger Zeit Alpha mitverfolgen, soweit es ging ohne selbst aktiv dabei zu sein( NDA und so ), konnte ich schlussendlich dann weder Beta oder Relase abwarten und zocke seit Alpha3 mit allen Höhen und Tiefen der Entwicklung 😀
Nicht alles was versprochen wurde, konnte/wurde auch in vollem Umfang umgesetzt, oder Pläne wurden neu geschmiedet aufgrund von technischer Entwicklung. Wie in den Beiträgen vor mir schon erwähnt wurde, ist DU ein Vorreiter in Sachen singleshard und denke da wird auch noch was Nachkommen....eine zB Unreal 5 Engine ist auch nicht von heute auf morgen aus dem Boden gestampft worden und funktionierte mit 100%er Erwartung.
Kein Game Title, den ich im Laufe von vielen Jahren und MMO´s  mit Relase kenne, war perfekt und fertig. Im grossen und ganzen, finde ich, wurde uns geliefert was gedacht war.
 
Was den Threadtitel angeht..denke von scheitern kann man gar nicht reden, Verbesserungen vom bestehenden werden nicht lange auf sich warten lassen und sollten auch kommen, neue Visionen/Inhalt wird die Zukunft bringen.... bin da zuversichtlich und hoffe auf regen Zuwachs an Spielern (nicht Accounts 😉 )

Es wird zu den DACs noch Anpassungen geben (sonst würde NQ Schwierigkeiten bekommen). Das hat hat NQ auch schon bestätigt, aber wie genau es aussieht, steht noch nicht fest.
 
Die Performence ist schon deutlich besser geworden im Vergleich zur ersten Hälfte der Beta. Und mit dem Release wird es weniger tote Konstrukte geben, weniger komplexe Voxelformen die einseitig gut aussehen und auf der Innenseite massive Lags verursachen, da die Leute mit den neuen Voxel Tool arbeiten werden.. Ich bin da recht zuversichtlich für den Release
 
Du kannst doch auch ohne PvP an T2 Erze komme. Ich weiß gerade nicht wo genau die Grenze ist (ob T3 oder T4), aber als reiner PVE'ler kommt man an ne Menge ran und wer kein Bock hat auf PVP muss dann halt handeln. So wächst ja der Markt, wäre doof wenn jeder alles bekommen kann ohne Probleme^^

+1 
 
We need many improvements for orgs, but this is actually a small thing that helps alot! Please give it to us for the Release! ❤️

When an org is set to allow recruiting the only options legates have is accept or refuse.  We cannot ask questions or even give a reason for refusal. Would like to send a message or communicate with a person who applied. Seems basic and needed.

Dual Universe exists today thanks to our backers, including all of you who supported us in our Crowdfunding roots. With your help, we are launching in a month. We’re thrilled with the support you’ve shown us by wishlisting the game on Steam, and the energy you’ve built around the game, with also welcoming new Noveans into our community. 
 
If you’ve not yet visited our Steam page, here it is! By wishlisting us there, you’ll help Dual Universe gain visibility and bring us to new gamers across the globe.
 
Let us know your thoughts on the Kickstarter rewards in this thread.
 
Thank you for your support, Noveans!

As of Mercury patch, delivered in June 2022, this problem has been FIXED. Positional desync is now very minimal. No more teleports and very little jitter.

Dear Noveans,
 
We have a brief update on the upcoming changes to the blueprint deployment tool.

We had hoped to implement the grid-snapping feature at launch or in the first update after launch, but we’ve encountered a delay. We recognize that this is an essential tool for players to rebuild their multi-core constructs, and we’re working hard to implement it. You can expect it in one of the first updates after launch.

The voxel swapping and element omission features are still arriving with the launch.

Thank you for bearing with us. Rest assured that this is one of our top priorities.
 

Seid ihr Bereit für den Release?  
 
Neu in Dual Universe und auf der Suche nach Anschluss? Dann kommt gerne vorbei. Wir nehmen gerne Neulinge auf und teilen unsere Erfahrung und Wissen mit euch

You're welcome. We'll do our best  
 
By the way really mega cool decision, that you have decided for Steam ❤️ 

Hey Noveans!
You are an amazing community. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for helping make this launch announcement such a major success! Internally, we had some goals for our wishlist on Steam, which we thought would be enough to help us get visibility on the store when the game launches (that's how Steam rolls...). We are just so happy to report that we are about to reach that goal IN JUST THREE DAYS!!!! This is incredibly promising for the launch of Dual Universe and we know we couldn't have done it without you, our awesome community of dedicated and passionate players.
It’s time to double our Stream Wishlist goal! Let's make DU the surprise hit that we all know it can be. Please continue to spread the word about the wishlist to show our love and passion for this game. Together, we can DU it!
 
Again, thank you SO MUCH from all of us here at Novaquark.

What a lie. Everyone could solve the puzzle. The puzzle as there, in the game, everyone could find the obelisks, everyone could solve it.. ^^

@le_souriceau
Enough with the conspiracy theory that you share with a few people.

If you were at Novaquark, you would have seen that the decision about the wipe has been taken quite recently and make the launch much more tricky than if it was decided to have no wipe. For a long time, it was thought that "Magic Blueprints" could have been the solution to make a very partial (and nearly painless) wipe. The problem was, after careful reviewing, it would in fact brings a ton of problems in terms of balance, and also many loopholes that were hard and long to fix. So It was a painful decision to make, even on the Novaquark team side, but a necessary and healthy one. This promise was not broken with a light heart. If it could have been avoided, this road would have been taken, the easiest way to proceed being "no wipe at all", but far from being the healthiest one for the long term of the game. The Novaquark team has absolutely no motive to frustate a part of the Community for no reason. Ideally, we would prefer to make everyone happy.
 
However, you're not part the company, so you didn't know what really happened or what has been discussed internally and you prefer to present your (wrong) assumptions into facts.  Between that, and the slandering regarding your statement not so long ago that a player need to be "friend" with a Dev to make changes happen in Dual Universe (based on zero evidence), you're truly putting a lot of efforts to paint the Novaquark team as a bunch of evil, manipulative persons. If this is your vision of being constructive, well... Spoiler: it's not.
 
Furthermore, as this thread has been necroposted from more than one year, it will be locked.
 
Best Regards,

Hi everyone! 
As it seems some people wants to blow things out of proportion, Here are some clarifications:
What was under NDA during Alpha stays under NDA indefinitely. Having the NDA lifted means "from the moment the NDA is lifted, nothing posted / said after the NDA lift is under NDA. What was post/said under NDA (meaning before NDA lift) remains under NDA, so you shouldn't, under any circumstances, copy/paste a screenshot from a forum post in the section under NDA. That being said... This case is bit particular:
It is true that this piece of information has been communicated publicly by Novaquark in a video, though copy/pasting a screenshot from a forum post in the section under NDA is still an infraction. Taking into account this particular situation, this is why @Megabosslord your post wasn't moderated in the Reset Announcement feedback thread because we took into account that the main piece of information was publicly communicated a long time ago, and because we are understanding that the current situation is frustrating for many people. However, no one on Discord has been banned for this specific topic (so saying it happened is a blatant lie) but muted temporarily (7 days), mute that have been reduced and ended by now. We get the situation makes many people react very passionately (for understandable reasons),  but that's no valid reason to distort what really happened. @Megabosslord Here is now a formal warning: for both twisting reality (borderline disinformation) and discussing moderation decisions publicly on the forum. Please keep in mind that those two things are considered infractions of the forum rules. On a final note, as this forum thread should have never happened in the first place, it's going to be locked.

it would really hard suck if it's just gone.

What a lie. Everyone could solve the puzzle. The puzzle as there, in the game, everyone could find the obelisks, everyone could solve it.. ^^

Disappointed but not surprised.
 
Thoramine was a lovely dream and it really sucks that it was never realized. Missed opportunity imo.
 
Question: Will NQ still honor the rewards from Kickstarter packs (DAC’s, lifetime subscriptions, pets etc)? 

When we write here, we should stick to the truth and reality.
DualUniverse is supposed to become a game, currently it is a test version that would be described as alpha or beta.
To be fair, it should be called alpha, also because basic mechanics are still being worked on and will be removed from the game and added to the game.
 
In the end, at release, you expect a game, not a metaverse. It is simply not possible to build a real metaverse with such a small company, neither in terms of the number of employees, nor financially, and certainly not in terms of the hardware that would make it possible.
 
What used to be a dream of DualUniverse will remain a dream, from 20 years ago as a child I dreamed of bigger dreams, what should be feasible to keep me busy in a game. Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why I found the DualUniverse project so interesting. Unfortunately, I was very quickly pulled out of my dreams again when I got to know the game more closely on a daily basis and was able to really see what this game was all about. So actually very, very far away from the dreams I had as a child, but also very far away from what Novaquark had set as the direction for the game. It's disappointing, but at the same time I knew it would be too good to be true.
 
If we stay in reality, I would say that there will not be a metaverse within the next 20-30 years. There will certainly be a lot of companies trying to get rich from it, very few companies will try to build something similar, but in the end it wouldn't even come close to a metaverse. Maybe in 50-100 years, but only if humanity has solved other more pressing problems by then.
However, the game DualUniverse will not become a metaverse, not even in 50 years, because the basic framework does not seem to be capable, financially feasible or compatible with the possibilities that can be implemented in the game.
 
I hope that NQ will still release the game on the market, but bring it in a reasonable direction of a building game, so that the players can at least have fun building their dreams with voxels. That's all I expect from DualUniverse at the moment.

@TobiwanKenobi
I really like your idea, but for me there should be the following basic classes of ships:
small and light fighters that are agile and hard to hit, and big and heavy battleships that can take a lot of hits.
  In this sense, your approach goes into the right direction. However, in my opinion, the battleships are also ships that should be crewed by a whole team and not just one person.  Unfortunately, I don't see in your suggestion how the multi-crew factor is taken into account properly. So for me it's going in the right direction, but it can't be the final approach.

I agree with u. 1000%,
 
awesome collection o the DevBlogs and the good things they said there!

awesome collection o the DevBlogs and the good things they said there! 

I can argue without getting too wet that our organization, which has about ten active members + the 20 other players who have played with us in the past, still want the vision of the initial game to be realized.
And we are all more or less aware of the sacrifices necessary for this last, end of planetary mining, industrial nerve, limitation of core units... All this is positive for us if it allows us to carry out the vision.
 
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the vision of the game that we support :
 
"At the same time, we want rare resources to be hard to secure, exploring the unknown to be challenging, and territory control to be central for Alliances and Empires."

" The ship’s autonomous AI will constantly monitor every action performed in its action radius and neutralize any attempt of aggression or unauthorized destruction. Beyond that zone, it’s PvP free-for-all. You only go there if you’re well prepared. "

" But it will be in principle possible to settle a new safe zone anywhere on any planet (except in another safe zone), if enough players are willing to contribute to its building and maintenance. "
 

" In Dual Universe, creating a market will require nothing more than setting up a Market Unit, a particular Element that you can craft and install in any construct of yours. The Market Unit requires an energy supply and a container to store the traded goods "

" - let the players set their markets anywhere they want, making the geopolitical/strategic aspect of this a core element of the emergent gameplay "
 

"One important thing to understand is that Resurrection Nodes (or RN) are expensive. Very. Whether you buy it or you collect the materials to craft it, this will be a considerable investment. "

" A Resurrection Node is a power hungry machine "

"You need to power it and make sure it is fully charged, and the time it takes for a full charge will depend on the type of power source you can afford to use. This can range from a few minutes to a few days."

" In any case, one thing is sure: the resurrection nodes are going to be a central element of gameplay and emergent strategies/counter-strategies between opposing factions "
 

" Duties are things like: a price to pay per month, per day or per use to be able to use the tag, a price to acquire it, a certain location that you must be in to be able to use it, etc " 

" Another important aspect is the notion of warranties: when I give a tag to someone, I can also take it back at any time. I may agree to provide a warranty attached to this tag, which says that the removal will be done after a 24h or 48h notice, or that I agree to pay a certain amount when I remove the tag, as a compensation. " 

" The last notion I want to talk about is the notion of ?power delegation?. "


 

You are not alone.
I too still hope for the realization of the vision.
 

IMHO this is bs. (cool for new Players yes..)
 
Whenever NQ takes two steps forward, they take three steps back.
 
WTF is this and why do you waste human resources for this stupid thing. Instead of the promised player markets (some of which already exist in small form), they are now being punished and marginalized by another glorious NQ development. 64 sellers for the entire community, who decides who gets these places? What do you do when an org sends 100 signups before another player makes it?
 
So I'm getting an XS Core to sell ships or scripts there, but I can't show or demo them. I can only show nice pictures on 10 screen. What exactly does a store like this do for me? "Buy from me, won't be shit" Thanks, but no thanks. Then I will rather buy up all the slots and make signposts everywhere to the ship shops of the players. Nobody wants your stuff NQ! Player-Driven! Not Developer-Driven! Go away! Oh and "Periodic refreshes of The Exchange" -> And once you've established yourself in the market, you're then just kicked out of there and lose your revenue.... When will the refresh be? Pff ask the Devs! Player-Driven ist just a thing they promised during KS, u will never see it here!
 
What kind of screw up is that in an MMO?
 
With this announcement and the announcement of what will be stay after a wipe, it is already certain that there will be a wipe. Can't you just announce it officially?
