    SHEDDING LIGHT ON A NOVAQUARK INTERNAL DISCUSSION - discussion thread

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    EDIT: 
    Message removed for advertising another game in a thread dedicated to feedback on Dual Universe. 

    @yamamushi We can understand you're upset about changes in the development of Dual Universe and we're thankful for all the involvement you had in the Dual Universe community during several years. If at some point you want to come back on the game, you will be welcomed. However, all this doesn't give you the right to have such behavior on the forum.

     

    Best Regards,

    NQ-Nyzaltar
     

    Will NQ listen to feedback about the Demeter update?

    Just gonna put out there, I don't remember auto-miners being promised during kickstarter, but I do remember Avatar vs Avatar combat and territory warfare ? 

    I'll go a step further, and point out the trailer for the game has none of this stuff mentioned, but territory warfare is still in there ? 
     

     

     

    tl;dw - none of this stuff is making me excited to play the game, when there are still glaring features missing (that are still advertised) to the point of being completely forgotten about by the community. 

    Apollo & Ares - Question Thread

    I'm not a fan whatsoever of removing nonconsensual boarding altogether, and I hope that is taken into consideration later if/when avatar combat becomes a thing.

     

    Not only because Boarding a ship to take it over was something featured in the Devblog way back in 2015:

    Now, imagine combats. Besides the specialized weapons allocation to various crew members, the fact that the ship is a real object and not some formal 3D image allows for incredible things: partial structural damage that must be repaired (crew members racing to fix this broken hull – FTL anyone?), but also even more exciting is the possibility to board another ship after having cracked open its hull. In my opinion, from an emergent/strategic point of view this is a very interesting alternative to the classical way of completely destroying any enemy ship during combat: instead, board it and take control! Note that we don’t know yet how much of this will be playable in the alpha or beta stage, but it will definitely be something we will support in the long term.

     

    But because boarding ships to take them over has been a thing since, well, ever. 

     

    Now a whole avenue of gameplay has been removed to address something that wasn't really a problem before. What we should have gotten instead is a way to see who is on our construct, and remove them if they are logged out. 
     

    Australian Servers / Players

    There will be many servers (maybe one in Australian too) but everyone will play in the same universe. the servers around the world will communicate to the others servers. 

    Um... no that's not how it works.

     

    There is no technology on the planet available aside from them physically laying fiber cable directly between all of their own datacenters that would allow their server tech to be split across the planet like that, and NQ doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars lying around for them to be able to pull that off.

     

    As it is the servers have to be physically close together in the datacenter and be optimized as much as possible for communication speed between them. It's been described as "closer to a weather modeling supercomputer", this is high performance computing and that just doesn't give much flexibility in where those machines can be physically hosted. 

     

    So while different storage components, databases, login queuing systems, account information, etc. might be hosted on separate machines in different datacenters, the game server itself just doesn't have the capability to allow for that. Maybe when a billion people are playing Dual Universe they'll be able to afford laying trans-Pacific fiber optics and creating some massive global-spanning supercomputer cluster, but that's just not how it works today.

     

     

    First Annual Dual Universe Texas Fan Meetup

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    We are currently working on having an unofficial fan meetup hosted here in Austin Texas for fans of Dual Universe.

     

    There are about 10 or 12 of us RSVP'd at the moment from all over the US, but we are looking to reach 20+ if at all possible. Though if we got even more than that, we certainly wouldn't complain!

     

    We're aiming for a date in October, most likely on a Saturday, and food will be provided (with a small donation to @Wrathschild who has offered to cook us delicious BBQ). We also have a bar in the middle of downtown Austin TX ready for us to reserve the whole bar, and is ready to order any beer or liquor requests anyone has in mind. Drinks won't be free though :p 

     

    The event will be free to attend, but as stated above, it would be kind of you to donate to Wrathschild for the BBQ :) 

     

    If you are interested in attending, please shoot me a message and/or join the discord where we are planning everything and keeping track of everyone here: https://discord.gg/c6uXMdB

     

     

    How to get in to the game?

    Hello,

     

    I have backed up Dual Universe via Kickstarter on 9th of September 2016. I have paid 12€ and I should received 3 months of gameplay around end of 2018. How can I claim those 3 months and how to download the game?

     

    thanks for help.

     

    regards

     

    It looks like perhaps your account isn't linked properly, I would put in a ticket @ http://support.dualthegame.com/ and explain your situation so they can fix your access. If you are a Kickstarter backer, you have access to all of the tests from now until release. 

    Hello Universe!

    I have been intrigued with this game since seeing it at PAX West. As a fan of EVE, Freelancer, Elite Dangerous, etc. I think it looks pretty cool. Looking forward to getting into the alpha tomorrow!

    Did we meet at PAX West 2018? 

    Some Questions on NDA and Alpha

    So I've been on the fence about this game for quite some time, and am still unsure if I should get it. With the current alpha coming around, I wonder how strict the NDA is? Will I be seeing early reviews (or even gameplay) online to inform my buying decisions?

    i would really like to see a form of "automated mining" cause as a pvper i don't want to farm X hours just to build something i'm gonna explode 30m later

     

    No. Please, No.

    At this point you may as well be asking to just buy our resources from NQ with cash.

    If you're really burning through ships and supplies that fast, that's a you problem, not an economy/gameplay problem.

     

    Game pack says $60 and is really $70

    The price shows as $60USD but when I go to checkout it shows up as euros which is ten USD more than advertised, am I doing something wrong here?  

    I've seen this bug from time to time but I don't know what causes it, sometimes getting on a vpn fixes it, sometimes using a proxy fixes it, sometimes using a different browser fixes it. 

    I'd try edge browser first or disable your ad blockers or something along those lines.

     

    I know it's only $10, but 10 bucks is 10 bucks (even if it's me saying it)

    Who do I talk to about my Kickstarter package?

    So, like the title says, I have a Kickstarter package and have no idea how to access the game.  I'm not even sure if I can access it now or if I have to wait, because the package is through Kickstarter (access through the Alpha) but also a "Bronze Founder package" (access at Beta).  Is there a Dev or GM that I can talk to about this?

    Beta isn't scheduled to start until next year, so you don't have access yet. Alpha 2 starts on the 11th.

     

    You can always upgrade your pledge if you want sooner access.

     

    Edit:

     

     

    I misread what you said:

     

    You can download the game here: https://community.dualthegame.com/accounts/profile/
