Released last month, Dune Awakening is a massively multiplayer online survival game where players will challenge survival on the most brutal planet in the universe, Arrakis. The game was originally almost entirely focused on PvP mode, but as the update progresses, more and more content begins to lean towards PvE mode.
For PvE
The 1.1.15.0 patch released not long ago has led to a continuous increase in the proportion of PvE mode in the game, even exceeding 50%.
This adjustment is huge for a game that has only been released for a month. However, this adjustment in proportion will not have much impact on players because both modes are selectable. This means that players who like PvP mode can choose to focus on PvP mode, and vice versa.
In the patch 1.1.15.0 released a few days ago, we can see that Deep Desert is the only place where you can find a lot of spices and minerals, and you can also collect Tier 6 resources.
However, in this patch, the ultimate resources in this mode area in Deep Desert are still very scarce. Spices and minerals still have to venture to PvP area to get more.
In this way, the patch does not actually prevent players from being besieged by other players driving armed ornithopters while doing ultimate activities.
In the latest patch, with the changes to expand PvE area, players no longer need to venture to PvP area of Deep Desert. This is a pity because PvP area is where all the excitement of the game is.
For PvP
There is another change in this patch, which is centered on PvP, that is, the delay time for leaving PvP safe area has been increased. This is to prevent players from camping on the border, maintaining the game difficulty. In addition, this PvP-centric change will also help PvP players protect their own areas.
The extended time to leave is very unfriendly to players who accidentally enter PvP area. In addition to taking a long time to get out, they are also more likely to be shot down.
Some players must have had the experience of not realizing that they flew over the control point. However, PvE players only need to fly carefully to avoid accidentally entering PvP.
Finally, there is one more thing in the patch regarding modifications to Landsraad missions. The specific content is that after completing the task, players can kill and deliver contributions and farm Dune Awakening Solari. The victory of the faction and the number of guild votes obtained are not affected by the contribution of a certain faction. I think this will be a satisfactory endgame patch note for players.
In this way, players will not be restricted by the login time and date, and will not completely miss Landsraad tasks, at least they can get personal rewards. For players who can only play the game on weekends, this can at least ensure that they can participate in the tasks.
In a word, the latest patch changes PvE to make it account for a higher proportion of the game. And the change to PvP is to extend the time for players to leave the area. However, overall, these changes provide a boost to players’ gaming journey.
