Deluxe edition and Sardaukar armour

[ulverid]

Sardaukar armour included in deluxe edition. Will it cosmetic or real armour? What if Shai-Hulud will kill me? Will I completely lost this armour or can recover it?

[Cirrus]

I think general feeling all over is that everything is cosmetic.

I myself could not find any stats. I was looking for same info. It these things would have a small pay to win element = always available to you really easily to recover from worm eating you etc, these packages would be more interesting for me.

In Conan all elements were pure cosmetical, so I think here should be the same :) also I think that they should be prepared for this ...so maybe you will get recipie for it ? Then you will never lose it in that case.

Cosmetic.
It's something like a skin you apply to an armor.
If the sandworm gulps you you will lose everything you are wearing included the armor.
All you need to do is craft another one and apply the skin again.

No i think with stats, like in conan, DLC armor was OP xD

Liar.

What has happened with the Epic Aesir Chieftain Spear when it came out? Correct, it had 93 damage, 22 more than the best legendary!

Pay2Win.

What about the pyramid doors from the pyramid building set from the bazaar? Twice the HP as vanilla T3 doors.
Pay2Win.

What about the Silk walls and ceilings from the Turan building set from the bazaar that require less materials to build than standard T3?
Pay2Win.

What about the Nemedian Gate frames from the Nemedian DLC that have a bigger collision box than vanilla T3 gate frames? You can block off entrances to the top with nemedian gate frames only.
Pay2Win

I could go on...

Haha, So that cosmetic stuff i glossed over was better? Too bad I downloaded that cheat engine mod and got everything free and quit shortly there after.

You might laugh, but that's how Funcom tricked the PvP players into buying stuff from the bazaar. Release it OP first, just to say "ooopsssiieeee" and fix it later when they already cashed in.

Selling bugged cosmetics. Exploit early, exploit often. Underground bases. Mesh BS. Thank god for my private solo server. Just makes you want to rush out and buy this game.

I'm 99% sure that this armor will be just cosmetic skin that you can place on one of the armor types. I believe there are 3 types, still suit, light and heavy armor. Sardaukar armor will be either light or heavy armor skin, with people leaning for it to be light one.

I don't think it will make your stats in any way better, but, you know, as in other games with player skins and color palettes, there will be some which will make up for better camouflage in certain types of terrain. But I wouldn't really worry much about it. In beta already I saw a good color palette and decent armor skin unlockable for the light armor in a base beta game. Sand Trout suit, or something, I believe.

It's the same situation everywhere, even in PvE games like Helldivers 2 Still, if the price will be just $10 per DLC and the p2w factor will be substantial and will hold for couple months - it's fine.

The cosmetic system in Dune seems to be based on variant overrides on the customisation UI, rather than actual items.
I would assume that combat armour will get the Sardaukar variant override, while the stillsuits will get the Movie stillsuit override. With that system, I don't see stats coming into play for such things.

This is an assumption though, since I am not entirely sure.

Well, you could get cosmetic armor skin in beta by doing missions in first trade post, so its pretty solid assumption there, based on beta experience.
