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 16:27 Announcements 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!

The original announcement made by the Dune Awakening account on discord about the book club launching and the book giveaway

5 2024-01-24 20:07 Building Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1199807692601045072 There is a system but not tied to tiers exactly. Tied more to taxes. Yes imperial taxes
6 2024-01-24 20:03 Building Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1199806739906834482 There are no-build areas

8 2024-01-24 19:38 Buidling/PvP Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1199800313209704529 Feel like I've said this before but if not - big debate about to start - the focus of this game is not raiding and destroying other people's bases.
9 2024-01-29 09:59 Building Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1201466611106861056 A lot of vases - I gave the 3d prop team some schtick because we have soo many vases on a planet without too much vegetation
jcbylos (Joel): A lot of vases - I gave the 3d prop team some schtick because we have soo many vases on a planet without too much vegetation

El Heffe: That has indeed the atreides stamp.
El Heffe: That has indeed the atreides stamp.
11 2024-11-01 PvP/Melee Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1195128298607476777 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.
12 2023-11-16 Alt Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1174758217864204339 I saw someone who theorized we made an alt timeline because we think we know better than Frank...which is actually the opposite. 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
13 2024-01-11 PvP/Shields/Melee Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1195128566271197324 I can imagine everyone will have a shield late game, but shields have massive disadvantages as well 😄
So it's a big tradeoff when to use them or not
14 2022-09-22 Shields/Melee/PvP Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1024708505007038565 Shield can be used to force melee engagment, at least
15 2024-01-11 Abilities/Melee Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1195127517363838977 It's weird, because I think you can choose to be a melee character and combine game elements to make that so. But it isn't just in the melee system itself. Swordmaster abilities will change how you play a lot, for example
16 2023-12-10 Building/Server Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1183510894202851451 If you keep your house shields charged, you'll be fine 😄
17 2023-06-12 Flight/Vehicles Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1117933125788500099 We're definitely skewing "arcadey" on the vehicle feel. Flight Sim is about to do the sim version 😄
18 2023-06-12 Vehicles Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1117930124705267776 4 man ground car (which is how Herbert described things, Groundcar)
19 2023-06-12 22:31 Vehicles Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1117929105678147594 I will tell you two things about Sandbikes (1MGC's as I call them after the herbert naming) - They don't start off that fast but with upgrades... - They can never outrun a worm
20 2024-03-07 Mining Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009603288511025182/1215297337597890560 It's (mining laser) got aim assist, I don't think it is a visual acuity test
21 2024-03-06 Building/PvP/Shields Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1214975119231942686 Like offline base raiding - keep your shields up, you'll be fine. Except if you're somewhere sandstorms can impact shields.
22 2024-03-04 Vehicles Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1214315339664461864 So uhhhh, can we fly the big big ships? Like the one doing the flyover of the character sneaking? - Joel: No
23 2024-03-07 Worms Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009603288511025182/1215418345961291786 Lazercat: Just realized the devs are in chat! While you are here, do you know if you plan or hope to add sandworm riding at some point in the future? - Joel: We want to yes
24 2024-01-10 Armour/NPC Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1194549218363310131 For the most part we'll let you have the armor NPCs are wearing
25 2024-03-12 Shields Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1217160839724007454 I think our biggest lore change is just that they drain power so you can't use them (shields) infinitely like the books seem to imply. Which is a gameplay conceit but a necessary one
26 2024-03-04 Survival Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1214319141968945182 Vulqun:we will puke when eating to many plants? 😮 Joel: Yeah Get a Dewreaper you animal
27 2024-03-04 Survival Joel https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1214319306699964526 Rakunvar: LOL, doesnt even question eatting too much blood though Joel: Oh it has its downsides 😄
28 2024-03-07 Survival, Shifting Sands El Heffe https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009603288511025182/1215429376686948352 Nothing at all can survive a Coriolis storm.
29 2024-03-15 Vehicles El Heffe https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009603288511025182/1218332134578716783 I'll just say that yes, vehicles run on fuel.
30 2024-03-14 Building Ignasi https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1217769191822856242 HELLRAISER: "We should be able to opt out of taxes, and face whatever consequences we may face for that"

Ignasi: "Oh you can. But then you'll dance with the Sardaukar"

31 2024-03-05 Survival Ignasi https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1214501557698043945 robbie: Can you say at all how agro the worms are? like do they get agro at you if you just walk a few feet with a shield on or is it a little more relaxed where it takes a good amount of making vibrations?

Ignasi: Oh they're aggro alright. And if you go with your Holtzman tech on, they're not agro. They're A N G E R Y

32 2024-03-14 Survival Ignasi https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1217774740702363729 Eating won't a part of the survival mechanics, only dehydration and sunstroke...and the whole sandworm, storms, Arrakis wants to kill you thing.
