Dune awakening

It’s time for another look at what’s happening across the sands. The last time we talked about the future, we outlined several highly requested community features. Some of these features, such as the vehicle recovery system and the instanced Deep Desert loot, have already been implemented in the game. As always, we aim to share progress with you regularly. But, before we begin, we want to remind you that plans can change as we respond to player feedback and reassess development priorities. This flexibility is essential for ensuring the game evolves in the right direction.

Cargo Containers 

^{One of the short-term improvements mentioned in our previous update was the cargo container for Carrier Ornithopters. The upcoming patch will enable the ability to travel between maps with harnessed vehicles, and we are excited to add the cargo container shortly after in our December update!} 



Player Event Log

^{Another change we want to update everyone on is the improved player logging system. Some of these enhancements were introduced with Chapter 2, and we plan to start rolling out more starting with Chapter 3. Our long-term goal is to expand the player log to record all meaningful in-game events, such as item withdrawals and deposits, resource refinement, building tool actions, etc. We’re also exploring ways to categorize logs more clearly to help you find relevant information faster and reduce the chance of missing key activity. Let us know about any specific events you’d like to see added to the logging system.}


Game Balance 

^{A different area we want to touch upon is game balance. Tuning skills, weapons, abilities, etc. is an ongoing process, informed by in-game data and your feedback. Some changes can be implemented quickly through smaller updates, while others—like the upcoming Rapier rework—require more time to get right. Regardless of scope, every adjustment is made with our broader design philosophies in mind. For instance, we aim to provide players with meaningful ways to disengage from combat encounters. This principle guided our recent tweaks to Crippling Strike: it’s now less punishing for those on the receiving end, with reduced stamina dash costs and increased dash distance, allowing for smarter, more dynamic escapes while maintaining tension and fairness in fights.}
