Dune: Awakens Orni patches in PVP by completely removing the ability to damage players and NPCs with vehicles – not all fans are happy about it

Remember when Funcom will agree Fixed fix for players tired of being squeezed by helicopters in PvP? OK, fix what the developers did. Something.
Instead of being confused with the bird animal itself, the developer simply deployed a patch so “the player is no longer hurt when he is hit by a vehicle”.
As PC game player It is pointed out that, in theory, this is good because it means that you are not only protected by people you are afraid of, so determined to squeeze you like bugs in PVP, but it also protects you from wiping the sand motorcycle, especially if you accidentally radiate yourself out of the side of the cliff, for example.
Although hundreds of players have Voted a post On Subreddit, who confirmed the change, some point out that the grieving people simply changed the strategy, not completely.
“When using rockets (y) needs to lower the maximum speed. When using thrusters, they need to increase the maximum speed. PVP should be about control, not gan. explain A player.
“The Boy Scouts shouldn't have rockets,” suggestion other. “I killed a lot of people and I shouldn't be so fast or efficient. The attack should have rockets because they are slow and require constant input to manipulate someone. The scout should store and scan.”
“Good? I'm not sure. I think it would be preferable if both were hurt. Not getting hurt at all doesn't stop people from being upset about it.” additional other.
They are not wrong. The only ones that can shoot down Orni are Rocket Launchers or Lasguns, but both are exclusive to level 6 and take some time to unlock.
This also means you can't speed up the battle with the NPC by using the vehicle. But hey, is it better than before?
We gave it Dunes: A great 8/10 awakening in our commentsWritten by: “Dune: Awakening is an excellent survival MMO that captures Frank Herbet's sci-fi world very well, mainly for its advantage, and occasionally hurts it. The survival climb from dehydrated farmers to powerful arrakis is almost a pleasant step, a pleasant step, as well as the absolute pleasure of this story and the world.
“However, there is still a lot of things to do for Awakening because its battles have never really taken big steps, and the game ends up being a little messy, not worth the effort, and there are a lot of technical bugs to squeeze, but even these rough spots are like tiny desert mice next to Leviachan Shaih-Huluds, a success of a surviving game.”
