| text = I dunno how specific I should be without spoiling too much 🙂 But if you have basic melee combat, but then learn some advanced moves, you can build a pretty solid melee character. And melee will almost always be your only option against shielded enemies, for example. | |||

I'd rather be very clear that we can't do 100% of the lore so we branched off to avoid tainting the originals. Like Lasgun/Shield interactions are fun, but we can't let players have that | |||

| text = '''''F.A.Q. (2024.04.15)''''' | |||
# '''DO WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE FOR DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''We have not communicated a release date yet.'' | |||
# '''WHEN WILL THE BETA START FOR DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''We have been running closed beta tests since late 2023, with new tests happening periodically since then.'' | |||
# '''I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BETA''' ''Check out the Closed beta FAQ below.'' | |||
# '''WHAT SYSTEMS WILL THE GAME BE AVAILABLE ON?''' ''Dune: Awakening has been announced for PC, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5.'' | |||
# '''WILL THE STORY FOLLOW THE PLOT OF ANY OF THE BOOKS OR FILMS?''' ''It is similar to the books, but Dune: Awakening takes place in an alternate timeline. We worked closely with the Herbert family and Legendary Pictures on this creative process and found a single point in time that starts a landslide of events. We cannot wait to tell you more about it!'' | |||
# '''WHAT KIND OF GAME IS DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''Dune: Awakening is an open-world survival MMO game. At the start of your journey, it’s a survival game. As you progress more into the world, you will start crossing your path with other players, progressing more into MMO territory. Play solo, or team up with other players to survive the treacherous sands of Arrakis, the most dangerous planet in the universe. Learn more about the game in our short video:'' <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OFSGJ3y8cFk</nowiki> | |||
# '''WHAT DOES BEING AN MMO MEAN FOR DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''Dune: Awakening is a game where you share the world with other players. You will cross your paths and forge bonds and rivalries with other sleepers as you survive the harshness of Arrakis and fight for its most precious resources, at a grand scale.'' | |||
# '''WILL I BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME SOLO?''' ''Yes, it is possible to progress at your own pace and experience most of what Dune: Awakening offers on your own.. If you choose to play solo, you will fight to survive, build your base and rise to power at your own pace on the most dangerous planet in the universe. Learn more about solo and group play in our short video:'' <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fomj21qP5sI</nowiki> | |||
# '''CAN I GROUP UP WITH OTHER PLAYERS?''' ''Yes, you can form groups with other players and survive Arrakis together.'' | |||
# '''WHAT IS THE SURVIVAL ASPECT OF THE GAME?''' ''In Dune: Awakening you will have to survive the harshness of Arrakis and never underestimate its challenges. We're focusing on a few core pillars, such as shelter, traversal, water and heat. Our goal is to design these game systems in a way that feels challenging but is not overly punishing.'' | |||
# '''WHAT IS THE COMBAT LIKE IN DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''Dune: Awakening features 3rd person combined arms combat with fast-paced interplay between infantry, ground, and flying vehicles. You will be able to use everything at your disposal, from Holtzman gadgets and melee techniques to an array of ranged firearms and other abilities taught by the Great Schools of Imperium.'' | |||
# '''IS THE GAME GOING TO HAVE PVP?''' ''Yes, Dune: Awakening has player-versus-player combat. You can do it individually, or you can band together with other players.'' | |||
# '''ARE YOU FORCED TO PVP?''' ''No, the game world has specific regions for PvP. While outside of these regions, you are not an eligible target nor combatant for PvP.'' (edited) | |||
# '''WILL THERE BE CRAFTING IN THE GAME?''' ''In Dune: Awakening you can build and craft your equipment and vehicles, which are further customizable with modules to adapt to different gameplay situations and your needs. The game will use a schematics system, where you will be able to unearth new crafting schematics and use them to create unique items to use for you, or sell to other players on an exchange.'' | |||
# '''CAN YOU BUILD YOUR OWN BASE IN THE GAME?''' ''Yes! You can build your base in Dune: Awakening by using different materials and selecting from different building sets. Place and connect different building pieces and make sure they are structurally stable. You will then have to defend it against the environmental hazard of Arrakis, and any enemies you may encounter on your journey. Learn more about this system in our short video:'' <nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7rnoY3Uyno8</nowiki> | |||
# '''WHAT DOES A PLAYER-DRIVEN ECONOMY MEAN?''' ''Dune: Awakening will support a large number of players per server who will be able to control resources, prices and even item supply and demand, with some items potentially being craftable only by specific players on the server.'' | |||
# '''WILL THERE BE ANY NFT OR BLOCKCHAIN INTEGRATION IN DUNE: AWAKENING?''' ''We have no plans to introduce NFTs, Web3, cryptocurrencies, or Blockchain technology to Dune: Awakening. Arrakis prefers its business to be regulated. Even if it’s by the CHOAM.'' | |||
# '''WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RIDE SANDWORMS IN THE GAME?''' ''You won't be able to ride Sandworms at launch. However, this is a feature we want to add after launch.'' | |||
# '''CAN YOU FLY?''' ''Yes! In Dune: Awakening, traversal is one of the cornerstones of survival. You can craft vehicles to pilot across land and air – including your very own Ornithopter!'' | |||
# '''HOW DOES EXPLORATION WORK?''' ''Arrakis is a beautiful and deadly environment, full of secrets to discover for those daring and prepared for the challenge. Arrakis will be full of unique rewards and schematics for those who’d like to uncover its secrets. Further into the game, we want to entice and reward players who like exploring with what we call 'infinite exploration': outside of the shield wall, the sands shift during Coriolis storms, and the entire map outside of that space changes, revealing new locations and secrets that may be swept away on the next storm.'' | |||
# '''IS THE GAME WORLD PROCEDURALLY GENERATED?''' ''Our Arrakis is vast and perilous– to stay true to its epic scale, we need to create an incredible amount of terrain. The layout and design of the world is hand-crafted, and we then utilize Houdini’s procedural generation tools to build details over that, automating certain time-consuming, manual, and repetitive tasks.'' | |||
# '''IS THE GAME WORLD GOING TO CHANGE?''' ''Arrakis reshapes everything and everyone, its shifting sands periodically burying some points of interest while unearthing others, providing new locations and encounters to discover. Our goal is to always provide you with fresh and exciting experiences!'' (edited) | |||
# '''WILL WE SEE LOCATIONS FROM THE MOST RECENT DUNE MOVIE?''' ''While we are drawing primarily from Frank Herbert’s Dune novels, Villeneuve’s Dune is a powerful visual reference for some iconic aspects of the universe, such as the Ornithopter and sandworm. We are also adopting the brutalist architectural themes established in the movie. That’s not all Arrakis has to offer, though – and you may recognize locations by their descriptions in the books!'' | |||
# '''WHAT ABOUT [THIS THING] YOU HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT, CAN YOU TELL US MORE?''' ''Patience is a valuable virtue in Arrakis. Its ever-shifting sands will reveal more secrets in du(n)e time.'' | |||

| text = Sleepers, | |||
As the team continues to make great progress, we’re approaching a stage where the game can benefit a lot from player feedback. | |||
As such, we will soon begin holding early closed Beta tests, initially with small pools of players. As we continue doing tests, we will increase the number of players invited. | |||
First closed Beta test | |||
We will soon reach out with a sign-up form to all those who signed up for the Beta on the official website. We will email the account you signed up with, so keep an eye on your inbox (and spam). | |||
This is an early closed Beta test and those invited will be under NDA not to share information about the test publicly. | |||
If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so on the official website, using the Beta Sign-up tab. | |||
https://duneawakening.com/ | |||
We can’t wait for the first arrivals on Arrakis! | |||
Until next time, Sleepers | |||

| text = Hey Sleepers! | |||
As we mentioned last month, our teams have made significant progress and we're ready to start the Closed Beta phase. | |||
Working with you to create the ultimate Dune experience is an important process. We want to gather as much qualitative and quantitative feedback as possible at this stage to keep the game on the right track. We also look forward to chatting with you about the game! | |||
The first playtest took place in early December with a very limited number of players descending on Arrakis to survive deadly hazards on the most dangerous planet in the universe. We kept it small on purpose and are incredibly grateful to everyone who showed interest by signing up and to those who were selected, played the game, and gave us their constructive feedback. We have gained good insights and want to keep the momentum going. We have another test coming up and have sent out emails to a new pool of players in the last few days. Check your inboxes to see if you are among the limited group invited to a playtest early next year, but please be discreet and refrain from public celebrations. | |||
We know many more are looking forward to participating in the playtests. Rest assured that we will be organizing more closed beta tests to try out the new Dune: Awakening build. Keep an eye on Discord to make sure you never miss an announcement. We have a lot of cool stuff planned for the coming months, and we can't wait for you to be a part of this journey to bring Arrakis to life! | |||

| text = Hello, Sleepers! | |||
First of all, we'd like to welcome all the new faces that have joined our Discord over the past few days and weeks. Arrakis may be the most dangerous planet in the universe, but this hideout serves as a haven where you can practice your water discipline and chat with other Sleepers. | |||
Many of you have already seen our latest video and know that we're gearing up for the next Closed Beta Test (if not, stop reading now and watch it!). We have started sending invites already, and some of you received a broken link – this has now been fixed, and everyone affected should have received a secondary email from us. Sorry about this! | |||
This PC-only test will take place in February, and similar to all previous tests, our primary mechanism for selecting players for this test phase is the beta profile survey. If you don't want to sign the NDA or prefer to wait for later tests, as long as you have already signed up for the beta on the official Dune: Awakening website, you can sit back and relax as we have noted your interest. | |||
Additionally, we want to give everyone here on our Discord an extra chance to participate in the test! If you are willing to sign an NDA and have completed the beta profile survey then... react to this announcement! | |||
We'll randomly select a few dozen of you from those who have reacted to this message and send them invites to our upcoming Closed Beta test! | |||
And if you don't get an invitation, fret not! We are continually holding tests and have more planned for the future! | |||
Remember, every path leads to the desert. | |||

The URL in the second email should no longer give an error! | |||
We're aware clicking the URL link in the email gives the following error as of this morning: | |||
"Unfortunately there was an error, please return and try your action again" | |||
We're trying to figure it out! Sorry for the headache! | |||
If you have received an email and it has an incorrect URL: We have sent a second email shortly after that contains the correct link. Check your inbox and make sure to use the link in the second email! | |||
For those of you who have received the second email and still experience a broken URL link in it, we're aware Chrome does not play nice with the links. Please try to open the URL again, or with an alternative internet browser (i.e. Microsoft Edge). | |||
If you still experience a problem with the link, please make sure you have opened the second email! And if you can't see a second email, check your spam folder! | |||
If even then you're experiencing issues, please send us in the D:A community team (either @Dopamine (Kamil), @Ignasi or @Spynosaur (Nicole) ) a direct message on Discord and we will sort you out! | |||

They are selling keys in platforms (and numbers) we have not even sent out. | |||
Also, word of advice, don't buy these. These betas are run using our backend which supervises who is playing based on the NDA, and if the backend detects a discrepancy, it immediately bans the account. | |||
Speaking from experience, saw some devs getting instant hammer because they were not correctly set up in the backend | |||

It is a work in progress version, very rough in terms of "commercial standards". But it is a version our dev team wants testers to try out, with its incomplete features and all, and ask for direct and active feedback. | |||

| text = Bookworms! | |||
As was written, we're here to talk about Book Club - Gamescom Edition! | |||
In Gamescom, we will hold a Book Club session where we go a bit off-script where we will have fun reading the book together... and probably end up talking about it as usual... | |||
We will hold it at Saturday, Saturday, August 24, 2024 9:00 AM at a location very close to the Koelnmesse so you don't need a ticket to join! | |||
And if you won't be in Cologne, we plan to be available over Discord on the book-club voice channel! | |||
We will have a limit of attendance for the in-person session, but everyone's welcome over Discord and of course, visit us at Gamescom | |||
So, if you'd like to read the book with us (no need to bring one), sign up here: https://forms.office.com/e/Ciy8W1Vr75 (And please, only sign up if you can be there, since we have a limit) | |||
We're looking forward to meeting you there - digitally or in-person! | |||

This page is a collection of Discord Messages to be used as sources for other articles, as public permalinks to the discord server are not possible. Each row should have a unique ID (ideally sequential) as well as ALL fields filled out to be a useful "source"
Please Note: These sources are not absolute confirmation or hard evidence. Just because a Funcom employee mentions something as part of a conversation does not make it set in stone. The game is in active development, and things will change a lot.

1 | 2023-09-13 | Dune: Awakening | https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009464719012278423/1151539765263474798 | Sleepers,
What do you say we go back to where it all began? Almost 60 years ago, Frank Herbert wrote a book called Dune. It was turned away by over twenty publishers before finally being picked up by a publisher mainly known for auto repair manuals. Sadly, the editor’s risk didn’t pay off as the book sold poorly, and he was fired. However, thanks to word-of-mouth, knowledge of the book soon began to spread. By the next year, it had won a Hugo and a Nebula award. Since then, Dune has become one of science and political fiction’s all time greats. It’s quoted as the best-selling sci-fi novel of all time, and has inspired countless people with its philosophy, rich world, and epic scope. Seeing that many of you were considering reading it for the first time, or had just started it, we had an idea. To better understand and appreciate the classic that inspired Dune: Awakening and Villeneuve’s movies, we decided to start a book club of our own and read the first book together with you all! Just like a Book Club that gathers in a local cafeteria or around a cozy fireplace, we’ll meet every two weeks here on the Dune: Awakening Discord and discuss the part we’ve read. For those of you who might not have the book, we’ll be giving away Kindle eBooks! If you reside in the United States and would like a chance to win, send a message with why you want to read Dune in the dune-book-club channel! We’ll reach out to winners next week, so make sure to keep an eye on your notifications! You’ll need an Amazon/Kindle account to receive your eBook. We’ll share the section that will be read and run a poll to determine the best date for the discussion in the dune-book-club channel. Sleepers, it’s time we learned more about Dune and Arrakis – together. Spread the word and invite your friends to our Discord today! |

And melee will almost always be your only option against shielded enemies, for example. | ![]() |

I'd rather be very clear that we can't do 100% of the lore so we branched off to avoid tainting the originals. Like Lasgun/Shield interactions are fun, but we can't let players have that | ![]() |

Thus I wouldn't judge this information nor any other mechanics based off a single game people seem to link DA to plenty of times since it was announced 😅 Reminds me of that time people wanted directional melee to be a thing despite many times of us saying that it wasn't a thing.

As the team continues to make great progress, we’re approaching a stage where the game can benefit a lot from player feedback. As such, we will soon begin holding early closed Beta tests, initially with small pools of players. As we continue doing tests, we will increase the number of players invited. First closed Beta test We will soon reach out with a sign-up form to all those who signed up for the Beta on the official website. We will email the account you signed up with, so keep an eye on your inbox (and spam). This is an early closed Beta test and those invited will be under NDA not to share information about the test publicly. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so on the official website, using the Beta Sign-up tab. We can’t wait for the first arrivals on Arrakis! Until next time, Sleepers |

As we mentioned last month, our teams have made significant progress and we're ready to start the Closed Beta phase. Working with you to create the ultimate Dune experience is an important process. We want to gather as much qualitative and quantitative feedback as possible at this stage to keep the game on the right track. We also look forward to chatting with you about the game! The first playtest took place in early December with a very limited number of players descending on Arrakis to survive deadly hazards on the most dangerous planet in the universe. We kept it small on purpose and are incredibly grateful to everyone who showed interest by signing up and to those who were selected, played the game, and gave us their constructive feedback. We have gained good insights and want to keep the momentum going. We have another test coming up and have sent out emails to a new pool of players in the last few days. Check your inboxes to see if you are among the limited group invited to a playtest early next year, but please be discreet and refrain from public celebrations. We know many more are looking forward to participating in the playtests. Rest assured that we will be organizing more closed beta tests to try out the new Dune: Awakening build. Keep an eye on Discord to make sure you never miss an announcement. We have a lot of cool stuff planned for the coming months, and we can't wait for you to be a part of this journey to bring Arrakis to life! |

First of all, we'd like to welcome all the new faces that have joined our Discord over the past few days and weeks. Arrakis may be the most dangerous planet in the universe, but this hideout serves as a haven where you can practice your water discipline and chat with other Sleepers. Many of you have already seen our latest video and know that we're gearing up for the next Closed Beta Test (if not, stop reading now and watch it!). We have started sending invites already, and some of you received a broken link – this has now been fixed, and everyone affected should have received a secondary email from us. Sorry about this! This PC-only test will take place in February, and similar to all previous tests, our primary mechanism for selecting players for this test phase is the beta profile survey. If you don't want to sign the NDA or prefer to wait for later tests, as long as you have already signed up for the beta on the official Dune: Awakening website, you can sit back and relax as we have noted your interest. Additionally, we want to give everyone here on our Discord an extra chance to participate in the test! If you are willing to sign an NDA and have completed the beta profile survey then... react to this announcement! We'll randomly select a few dozen of you from those who have reacted to this message and send them invites to our upcoming Closed Beta test! And if you don't get an invitation, fret not! We are continually holding tests and have more planned for the future! Remember, every path leads to the desert. |

The URL in the second email should no longer give an error! We're aware clicking the URL link in the email gives the following error as of this morning: "Unfortunately there was an error, please return and try your action again" We're trying to figure it out! Sorry for the headache! If you have received an email and it has an incorrect URL: We have sent a second email shortly after that contains the correct link. Check your inbox and make sure to use the link in the second email! For those of you who have received the second email and still experience a broken URL link in it, we're aware Chrome does not play nice with the links. Please try to open the URL again, or with an alternative internet browser (i.e. Microsoft Edge). If you still experience a problem with the link, please make sure you have opened the second email! And if you can't see a second email, check your spam folder! If even then you're experiencing issues, please send us in the D:A community team (either @Dopamine (Kamil), @Ignasi or @Spynosaur (Nicole) ) a direct message on Discord and we will sort you out! |

They are selling keys in platforms (and numbers) we have not even sent out. Also, word of advice, don't buy these. These betas are run using our backend which supervises who is playing based on the NDA, and if the backend detects a discrepancy, it immediately bans the account. Speaking from experience, saw some devs getting instant hammer because they were not correctly set up in the backend |

They are under NDA so they can't be shared with anyone. Content is regularly wiped. There is a lot of work in progress stuff in the game. There is a lot of stuff that is disabled, even.
It is a work in progress version, very rough in terms of "commercial standards". But it is a version our dev team wants testers to try out, with its incomplete features and all, and ask for direct and active feedback. |

Your base gets razed to the ground? Plop out a new one in relatively no time by using the resources to fill the spaces and there you go. But yeah, get your spice production destroyed and that IS a big loss. |

We'll ask again closer to release of the signal. Also, just to give y'all an idea, we're aiming to release these monthly, first week of the month It's not a hard commit since there's a lot going on and we're just Nicole and I working on it, so it may slip sometimes because there's other bigger prio tasks to do But that's the soft goal right now |

As was written, we're here to talk about Book Club - Gamescom Edition! In Gamescom, we will hold a Book Club session where we go a bit off-script where we will have fun reading the book together... and probably end up talking about it as usual... We will hold it at Saturday, Saturday, August 24, 2024 9:00 AM at a location very close to the Koelnmesse so you don't need a ticket to join! And if you won't be in Cologne, we plan to be available over Discord on the book-club voice channel! We will have a limit of attendance for the in-person session, but everyone's welcome over Discord and of course, visit us at Gamescom So, if you'd like to read the book with us (no need to bring one), sign up here: https://forms.office.com/e/Ciy8W1Vr75 (And please, only sign up if you can be there, since we have a limit) We're looking forward to meeting you there - digitally or in-person! |
