You silenced it

Actually, I wonder what your problem is now? Everyone knew from the beginning, when the Kickstarter campaign started, that it was going to be rough. To quote the video: "However, if you chose to cross the limit, you gonna have to start being careful. And you better know what you're doing." Here is the link (with timestamp) to the video from the KS campaign 2016: https://youtu.be/TyWZsuLmloo?t=524 We have had many discussions here in the forum about carebear, EVE comparisons, PvP content issues and whatnot. Feel free to search those out over the last 4 1/2 years, there are plenty of them. But I'm not doing your homework. PvP will never be fair. There will always be situations where you are outnumbered. There will be situations where you are hunted by pirates for fun because you are a high value target just to annoy you.(Everything that is allowed according to ToS and EULA in the game, not outside, of course) In EVE as an example it is common that you become a target of something. But that's not the fault of the players, it's the game field that gives NQ here. In WoW as another example, they roamed as a group and hunted everyone. If you want to change the playing field now, then you have a problem: the players who made the game possible in the first place with the pledge gave money for a very specific reason.This is no longer the case, when the game changes from Kickstarter vision. And there are only two possibilities: Implement or Refund. But to stay with your ridiculous seal clubbing example: What's wrong with standing up to the attackers and looking for like-minded people? Why not fight back, why not form a society that frees itself from all violence and wants to create a PvP-free zone on the tiles? In principle, then, do exactly what Dual Universe should be. A game that encourages cooperation. Do you know how the pirates in the Caribbean became a thing of the past? Merchants armed themselves, bigger ships accompanied the convoy. Something you could also do, hire a mercenary organisation to accompany you. Instead, you want to go on your solo trip and see yourself as a victim here.

Because the game suggests that you can do it. - JC said you can become a pirate - Aphelia says in the tutorial that you can become a pirate. This is not a test of strength. This is about enrichment. And some emulate that. But nice analogy with seal clubbing. Has nothing to do with it. Maybe next time you'll use the pirates from the Caribbean as an example. No, not the film.

I quote myself here from the other post: Instead, we should rely on cheap labour community players that are not even capable of solving technical problems with the game? To illustrate the problem, I have created a picture to capture the plight.

Wait, people pay money monthly for an mmorpg and get no technical support on weekends? What kind of service is that?

I still have no idea who you are, but your posts are always a boost for the day.

0.23 Patch in a nutshell compared to a famous IKEA slogan: "Are you already playing or are you still mining? No but seriously, all the schematics made the whole game unattractive for <5 players. And I still play together with others, so "go to a bigger org where you get mass instead of class" is not an option. If it's frustrating and also not convincing in group play, then something is wrong. But hey, at least you get enough pittance when you team up. And that's for doing nothing. Exciting gameplay looks different to me. But no one at NQ seems to understand that. 0.24 will not solve the core problem. They will try to treat the symptoms, but the disease will remain. Basically, if you read the devblog on the mission system, it will come down to just writing what you do today in the system. But that won't expand your activities or make PvP more lucrative if you haven't done it before. And until the full game loop is in, you're carrying mechanics that were either started and never polished, or put so far behind that you wonder why you'd need to finance in the current state a tech demo / showroom demo, what people can build. Well, what does finance mean. You don't have to if accounts are still active and running from January. NQ also can't seem to decide whether to have a subscription model or not. It is a bitter pill to swallow in the current state. We can only hope that the patches after 0.24 will be more interesting. But I don't expect it before late spring. Until then, the question will be how long the players will put up with this.

Wait what? Which misplaced and incorrectly set expectations? This is from 2016 for the KS (timestamp): People gave money for it back then. And from one day to the next they got a slap in the face.

I love this Reddit post. A few comments still have too few upvotes.

They didn't really promise it. They said back then they were going to tackle it. But honestly, with the shit they have to deal with today, rotating planets are the least of their worries.

Or you buy an AMD like my friend, 14 crashes at once and never had the chance to ever start the game.

And I've been sitting here not getting a welfare cheque for a few days.

I don't know why you're getting so upset. People didn't care when Snowden showed the world that they were being monitored.And before that, people were called lunatics who had already predicted it. But that also misses the point of this post. What I actually want to say is: Just because some don't want to make use of their rights doesn't mean that others don't want to.

There was nothing wrong with your post up to the point I highlighted in the previous post. You switched from the factual to the personal level and lost your cool.

On the one hand you want to build community, on the other hand you insult those who made the game possible on Kickstarter with the pledge for you. The people who are rightly complaining here have been here for a few years and have probably had a bit more to do with NQ and DU than you have in your short time. In principle, you yourself are the problem of the whole misery. I have no choice but to pillory NQ's behaviour. The community is very divided and that's a shame. We have a lot of old players who are no longer positive about the company and I can't blame them because problems have not been addressed for several years and now everyone is promising or expecting a miracle cure or that the community wants to solve the company's problems (for free mind you!). To me, the optimism of the new ones is also a breath of fresh air. On the other hand, we must not forget where we come from. If this balancing act between Kickstarter and today is not achieved, I see no hope for the future. You don't help by not trying to understand what the problem is. But first you swing the club and insult everyone. That's what I call gg. I didn't even know a fetus could talk. So if you are the "real playerbase" with your attitude, then I honestly don't want to be a part of it and apply for my refund with what I invested 4 years ago.

The term ‘personal data’ is the entryway to the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Only if a processing of data concerns personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation applies. The term is defined in Art. 4 (1). Personal data are any information which are related to an identified or identifiable natural person. The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way. For example, the telephone, credit card or personnel number of a person, account data, number plate, appearance, customer number or address are all personal data. So if a name is in a certain place at a certain time from a French company that makes it possible, where EU citizens have access to, then it is already established by law that this is a natural person we are talking about. Furthermore: - How long will the data be kept? A look at Article 11. Article 15 is interesting too : The whole articles can be read here: https://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/article-15-right-of-access-by-the-data-subject-GDPR.htm Just because a few people don't care doesn't mean it doesn't matter. This is not about tin foil hats but about your rights as an EU citizen. If someone thinks they have to violate them and doesn't secure the legal cover, then we have a problem. I have nowhere given my consent for you to use this with my data. Edit: TLDR: A French company allows a player to collect data on other EU citizens (players) without them knowing what is happening to them or being able to object and the EU players never had an opportunity to press somewhere "I Agree".

...you seem to be new, can that be?

Thank you for someone saying that. It was very annoying to look through every single thread.

The moment when your nanoformer is more advanced than the machine that has a function like melter or refiner and doesn't work without a recipe. No seriously, the machines should be able to do at least what your nanoformer can do.

I am only reacting to the tone that has been set in this discussion. And not by me. Here's the quote that started it: I have mentioned my points about the bounty system and asteroid mining and that other mmorpgs have reduced the rng. Here is even a map of the solar system, why it is meaningless if you do not expand the PvP zone. Here a friendly reminder, how the current map looks like. But thank you for your instruction.

And yet you suggest that you want even more RNG, as I highlighted things in the quote. So let's make it 120% RNG. But as the other user suggested, server performance seems to be the problem, that he fails to hit at least 30 shots in a row. One of you two seems not to understand what the cause is. Is it now RNG or Server stability? I mean, I personally don't care, but it's amusing how you deviate from the problem to people and ignore the actual issue and try to defarm and discredit people.

Then I read again your op... highlighted some word in the quote... Didn't think I'd need a 2nd post to explain that. But a small problem, we take the time. After all, we are a helping community. Insight and enlightenment sometimes take time.

So if I read your follow up post correctly, 2 ships did pvp.... So I would just turn your sentence around and say "some people do pvp". The majority will still ignore the PvP zone in this current game stage. I have not heard a montage of a video or a message where many ships were involved and fought for something meaningful. My point in saying this is not to criticise existing lock and fire mechanics but to address the suggestions that so much RNG in many improvements are desired from op in this post. But surely you would have seen that if you had read the suggestions. Neither a bounty system nor in any form was it announced that the PvP zone will be expanded. So if you want to mine, you will want to continue to avoid it. The universe is big. There is no reason to move into the zone if you don't have to. My best bet is that nothing big is scheduled in this direction before the territory warfare update. I think then we can talk about it one more time.

"use some RNG" No, please don't. There is a reason why people don't like RNG in games and were annoyed by WoW for example. That is why they have rowed back with it. And as the previous speaker said: PvP is avoided in first place because you loose items and 6 hours of mining. In this game stage you only lose and gain nothing from it. No territory, no conquest or anything else. It's just for "fun" - So you mine to destroy your stuff in the end.
