    Tordan got a reaction from Atmosph3rik in THE FUTURE OF DUAL UNIVERSE - Discussion thread   
    This is just categorically untrue.  I have over 9000 hours of enjoyment into this game and I have never done ANY PvP, except for a few test battles on the PTS

    Tordan got a reaction from Atmosph3rik in Dear Devs; May we please get working terraforming tools?   
    Pretty please?
    I would settle for a ground smooth tool that actually smooths rather then create spikes and black triangles. I have gotten pretty good at digging holes, placing a blob back and resmoothing over and over again until I get a reasonable result, but it is painfully cumbersome. and we are now a year into release.

    I'm pretty sure that we are way overdue for a few long awaited quality of life fixes.
     
    Thanks!

    NQs unwillingness to simply ban the 3 schmucks who fill every forum post with a tired rant on how the game isn't being developed anymore, and how no one is playing (both wrong) makes it a dreary drudge to try and read anything here.  I still try though.

    Tordan got a reaction from Lasersmith in New voxel building feature   
    Unfortunately that is just not how voxels work.  Despite the way we speak about it, you don't actually place voxels.   The voxel space is simply a cube of cubes.  "Placing a voxel" is actually taking an empty voxel that is already there, and painting it with a texture.  When you move any vertex you, by necessity, move that vertex for all 8 voxels it is attached to.

    If you have a voxel shape in your clipboard and you want it to override the vertices position when you paste it, hold down the shift key when you click it into place. This will paste with paste dominance instead of existing dominance.

    I'm not being religious. My faith comes from experience. I have plenty of evidence. I troubleshoot bugs in DU all the time, and then report them. I get regular feedback and usually the bugs are patched in the next cycle or 3 (although sometimes the wait is much longer then I would like) They listen to our feedback and even implement new tools simply because we requested them. (the Vertex Editor for instance) 
     
    There is much about DU that I think is still problematic. Things that I would change if I could. I do not expect them to use my opinion as edict.

    The bulk of players, particularly the long time ones don't use Steam for DU. We buy game time from DU instead, so that they get all the revenue not just the fraction Steam would give them. So that number is misleading.
     
    I'm sorry that you are not enjoying the game, but there are certainly those of us who do, and have, and will continue to.  I love this game. It is excellent and I want it to succeed. I have faith that they are listening and developing.

    If you truly believe that DU is awful, and and you believe that there is no hope for improvement. Then why are you still here at all?
    And if you are hopeful for continued growth, ask yourself, does a post like the one above help advance that goal, or hinder it?

    Of course you're not. My opinions don't have any authority behind them at all. 
     
    Contrary to what a prospective player might read here, my experience is that there is an active and enthusiastic player base that would welcome more players willing to delve into a complex but rewarding sandbox.

    That the devs are continuing to work hard on the game, perhaps not with the lightning speed a larger dev house might achieve, but with dedication to a beloved project and a steadfast commitment to treading thoughtfully.

    That the devs do in fact read these forums. They just don't always reply to every post, particularly ones that don't provide any new insights.

    If you don't want to play, don't. It is a game, not a job. No need to also shut it down for everyone else. Some of us love this game.

    I don't have any illusions that they are working on the game full-steam.   But someone is still working on the game.  And while we might never see AvA combat, that doesn't mean we won't see Territorial Warfare.  If we were to adjust our expectations as to what that might look like.
     
    At this point DU has drawn in thousands of customers and then churned them back out several times.  They made all kinds of crazy promises and let people's imaginations run wild.  And it's done nothing but hurt the game's reputation. 
     
    But i love this game, as is.  I play it almost every day.  And i'd keep paying to play it for years if they keep up a reasonable trickle of new features and content.  In my opinion if they had focused on the fact that it's an incredible building game, and slowly built up a good reputation, the game would be a lot more successful than it is now.
     
    I know the game isn't what a lot of people wanted, but it actually is the game that i wanted.
     
    I still think NQ has the golden goose here.  They just need to stop fumbling around trying to make it something else, and give people a chance to appreciate it for what it is.

    Tordan reacted to Atmosph3rik in will the server engine architecture ever be released/for sale?   
    I'm probably not explaining myself very well here.  So let me try this a different way.  Just to be clear i have no issue with "AI" in general.  It's just a computer program.  They're great.  I'm a fan.
     
    But the way the term is being used recently in the industry just sounds like hype.
     
    Let's say you went to eat at a restaurant that specializes in hamburgers and french fries.  And they have a huge sign on the wall bragging about how they are switching from fresh cut fries to mass produced frozen fries.  As if i'm supposed to be excited about that...
     
    As a consumer i don't see anything to be excited about.
     
    And when i hear a game company talking about AI as if it's a direction for the company to go in, that means nothing to me.

    I have never met an mmo that was not always in a permanent state of development. They grow, they change, they adjust, they rebalance, they add expansions small and enormous. Sometimes they even get it right.

    Thank you for this post. I look forward to all of these features.
    May I suggest you introduce just a weeeee bit of Lore into the PvE system too! who are we fighting? and why? This is a very important part of game cohesion and player motivation. Also who damaged Thades? Was it really Aphelia as Tyim insists?  Inquiring minds want to know! Drop some crumbs.

    I also think this is the obvious choice, I'm certain that it was considered by the Devs. If this isn't the obvious choice for the dev team too, it would be nice to know why.
