what a terrible chaos

So guys, let's be clear: if you want ship raiding as content, you don't go to Dual Universe, you go to Starbase.

RIP future pvp actions on ships. You literally killed this gameplay with this option.

level up +1 using hundred words saying nothing
 
i want a poc /re playable pvp (space/atmo/ava) w/o cheating and punish people that try to grill other peoples hardware. untill then DU is dead to me and all i know.

Could we get some information on the various elements promised on Pre-Alpha and where they fit on the timeline for game, for example avatar vs avatar combat?

 

If we don't get any press release or statement from either of them then I suspect the worse for DU.
If the guy taking over has a history in finance and not really in game development then I believe he'll look at calculating the risk-to-reward of pushing development of the game vs. Selling the tech to Microsoft.
 
Which one would yield the most money and over X amount of quarters and years.
SWAT analysis of keeping the game up and probability it would succeed if they changed up how they ran it's production.
 
If JC gives his response and not the new guy, then DU's in for some rough rode
If the New guy gives a press release and not JC, then DU may have a chance because it shows the new guy fully intends on making DU a success.

"DU now has effectively turned itself from a promising civilization building MMO, into a quiet, enormous and extremely overpriced museum for sci-fi voxel creations."
 
Change my mind.

Player markets is a Kickstarter promise so it needs to be in at release.
 
I do expect that NQ will probably have everything "in" to tick the box but don't ask in what state.. The spin they will give that is "this is an MMO so in continuous development"
 

Tells people to stop being jerks, then signs off calling everyone douches. You sound like a fucking idiot to me, so no wonder no one listens to you. 

Of course, a graphical update and the jetpack improvement will save the game.
I see this as feedback. Fanboys with rose coloured glasses wanted new players to come, they are now here and giving feedback. 
 
They don't seem to be enthusiastic.
*insert surprised Pikachu face here*

0.24 is pretty much the definition of "polishing a turd".

With each passing day I resent this game more and more because of ... well.. everything... I don't even know if I can hang on till .24... because to me, them pushing out a successful 0.24 is like a man painlessly passing a kidney stone the size of a paintball.
 
 

After being here since 2018 and closely following and awaiting uptimes during weekends the answer to your question is simply "yes".
there have been different days, where there was interaction with its costumers. but after their rush into the beta the bonds between the user base and the studio and its vision have drifted apart.
to my humble opinion DU has reached a point beyond repair (current state). maybe the tech they developed will work, maybe not (lag and performence problems have been around all along, upto today).
AVA is, lets say, "canceled" with no ETA. space pvp is a browser game in current state even territory warfare is not more than a concept. atmo pvp is going to be the same meaningless mess just with bad pilots crashing.
building and voxeling is nice.
industry is entirely like: farm t1 ore, sell it to the market bots ... for like 4 weeks at an 40h/week job (very like much much more) to build (get up running again) lets say a L-Container line.
we are at a state of the game, where it is inevitable to do a complete server wipe, or start with a broken game in terms of the eco and player/org developement level.
more over, the ATV folks spread the word ahead of 0.23(/0.22) that nq expects most of thier community to break apart due to the changes.
nq has given up on its playerbase. by now, not even the server tech is worth selling anymore.
it hurts, but its time to give up the 35x L-static-core base we dug out with only 3 active players and move on. hopefully nq will reconsider a revamp.
lots of players, like myself, are not going to invest more time into DU untill there is clarification in what direction du is going to move: shut down, revamp, be an mmo or be a simulation.
in case the path is going to be more  and more a simulation, i want a refund!
dont get me wrong, i not sorry for the thousands of hours i played du, but i realized its not going to be what i bought despite thier promises.
 
much love to you guys

DU needs to take the first step and become a game before you can talk about taking ideas from other games, as is, DU has nothing game loop wise, its all just an attempt at simulation. NQ just wants to sit back and let their community do all the work for content creation because for some reason or the other, be it incompetence or lack of funding, they are unable to to create meaningful features for the project that could turn it into a game to retain players.

at this stage i dont think du can compete with anybody out there... this game is beyond savable imo..

please stop adding more time sink to compensate your lack of content
