No private servers ?

[Wanuboi]

I've recently heard that it was really not going to be like Conan Exiles in terms of multiplayer and that it will be more like MMORPG ? So no private servers and constantly with randoms. Is that right ? If so my hype just disappeared.

It's the private servers that keep Conan Exiles alive and successful, it's the private servers that will do the same for this game.

Yes, it's true that Funcom has only made MMOs that have all done really well... Age of Conan, Secret World... We want more sheetty games like that...

Those were MMORPG's, Dune Awakening is from a different genre of MMO's.

"With no private session, forced pvp, and no nudity.. you are ensuring that none have the power to improve their experience and the experience of others.

There is no other way to put it, your vision, approach, and execution were always lacking. If you do not allow the players to help you, this game will be dead on arrival."

--- I agree, mostly...

I'm sorry but I do not have any interest in playing with randoms in a large open survival world. It doesn't matter if PVP is forced or not.. you always have rotten apples, you always have annoying people that ruin your experience one way or the other..

Idiots jumping around.. shooting your direction.. attack the npc you attack, steal kills.. whatever they can to annoy and pull you from any kind of immersion you want to have..

Survival games, big or small, are meant for private servers (for people who want randoms but have control over it) and for groups of friends.. I play thos games with my family. Me, my wife, sister, her kid, my father.. we like it that way..

I was really hyped and hopefull for this game but THIS.. nah.. this will drop of our radar FAST!!

To all that enjoy this and like their decision: I wish you good luck and a lot of fun..
to all that were hoping for private servers, LAN servers, Solo play: I'm sorry we have to let this one go..

in short: Sad by their decision.. I want to be able to play surival games solo or with friends only from start to finish! They should have gone the route like Enshrouded, Conan etc.

We explained in one of our recent blog posts a bit of the server infrastructure we're using for Dune: Awakening, as well as the possibility for private servers in the future:

Due to its multiple MMO-based features, there is no single-player mode. You will have to be able to join our servers. Our plan is to allow private servers, at least for the Hagga Basin map, but we can’t promise this will be available for launch.

Any updates on renting servers?

Removing freedom, flexibility, customisation, and creativity from your game.. what could go wrong, right?

First of all, when someone from the community moderation team comes to clarify some of the issues people have and provide good, clear information to help us, the least you can do, no matter what your opinions are and how you feel about the game, is to be respectful and mindful towards them. They are only trying to clear up some facts and they are just working for a company, so it would be nice if they were treated with respect as well. Don't you have any manners at all?

And on the fact of not being able to change your settings and play how you like, most online games cannot allow that because it needs to be balanced for everyone. Everyone must be equally invested in the game. If you do not feel like you want to invest time in this game, go play something else. That still doesn't make it a bad or failing game. The vision of the game is what you make of it. I like it, I will play it, and our guild is almost full, all good and fun people. We will try to have a good time, will we have a good time? We do not know, but I am sure we will because I have faith in Funcom's ability to make a good games.

Peace..

I wasn’t aware that PvP would be forced. That said, it’s good to hear they mentioned the possibility of adding options for servers later. I know a lot of the GTA RP community has been discussing this game for the past six months with RP in mind, and they’re likely not going to be happy about the lack of or no private servers at release. As for the respect issue, he does have a point don't shoot the messenger.

There is no forced PvP, you can play the entire game without ever touching PvP.

Thanks yeah I thought so only PVP I have heard of was for spice which seems fair.

Spice you can get without PvP too via Hagga. The main PvP is deep desert big spice fields and the deep desert eco labs over unique schematics.

Plus you can always just buy the items via the exchange.

You can even contribute to the Landsraad without ever touching PvP.

I might play pvp but only if i do not lose anything at most losing only the spice, like the Eso Online Imperial City with Telvar .
We know anything about stuff like this?

I'm sorry, I just started laughing.
You want... Nudity... On a desert planet where a threat is basically,

" I will have your WATER! " ?

I don't disagree with the rest of the statements of what you said, not sure what you mean with removing freedom, flexibility, customization and creativity. I found the character editor to be very useful so, explain that.. But nudity?


coooome oooon....
Tame your libido.

So there are 2 rules for PvP.
Default, you lose Solari, some/all spice? resources. No gear lost. So if you banked your Solari, resources at base you likely lose nothing.

Non-default, this one can only apply for a week and requires whatever faction to randomly get this degree as one of the options in the Landsraad. Then full loot PvP is enabled. This one however you can just skip PvP for a week and come back next week to default rules. As it is very unlikely to happen twice in a row if even possible. I think they remove the already selected degree as an option.

Thanks for the info ^^ Seems reasonable.
Have a nice day.

It's not totally true... the true scale PvP will be avoidable (Deep Desert) , but their is some PvP wreck on the PvE map, and you will NEED to go their, for some ressource or mission...

in case of missions you have no choice to not going in the wreck... after that is a coin toss, you will encounter other player, maybe not...

Devs already stated that there is no need for shipwrecks in Hagga. You can buy the materials from NPCs.
