The numerous reports of frustrating experiences with griefers should not overshadow the fact that the community of Dune: Awakening includes many helpful players. One action is currently particularly well received.
What is this action? Schrogs is promoting a kind of rest stop with his post on Reddit, which a player of Dune: Awakening has set up in the starting zone. Newcomers find access to water and several unlocked chests full of useful equipment. Anyone in need can help themselves freely.
However, since there is currently no way to name chests or set up labeled signs, the helpful player must hope that visitors to the camp are simply curious in their absence and check the chests up close. That way, they will realize that these are not locked.
This is how access levels work in Dune: Awakening:
“Legendary Action”
How does the community react? Many players celebrate this with over 1,100 upvotes and more than 160 comments.
- KimberKitsuragi writes on Reddit: “You are amazing and I appreciate you very much.”
- gummiwaffen reports on Reddit from his server: “Cool! Someone made something like this on my server too. I was full of blood but thirsty, so I drank something, filled the cleaner with blood and threw in a few energy cells. Indirect collaboration, yay!”
- GoProOnAYoYo points out a danger on Reddit: “I tried to set up a public water dispenser, and some sand eater stole my entire reserve. That day I realized that all cisterns are connected to the same immutable cycle.”
- poison_cat_ jokes on Reddit: “The least accurate Harkonnen. But honestly, legendary action.”
By the way, the developers plan to significantly improve the base/resource management, such as by allowing players to name storage boxes and vehicles.
