# '''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.

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.

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! |

| 4 | 2024-01-10 08:13 | Building | Joel | https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1194554490771210240 | The Coriolis storm outside the shield wall will wipe bases, regardless of shields |  |
| 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 |  |
| 7 | 2024-01-24 20:12 | Building/Crafting | Joel | https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1199808902905204866 | You can, but you'll probably find some things really hard to craft |  |
| 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 |
 |
| 10 | 2023-11-09 18:31 | Building | El Heffe (J-F) | https://discord.com/channels/1006265467754790943/1009449537544396810/1172241962976428084 | 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 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 |

I think the system that is best for Dune, might not be the system that is melee directional. Also just my thoughts/opinions. |  |

I was trying to understand what about Dune was attracting that player base (obviously the Directional Melee Combat hope was one thing). But no, LO has some cool ideas (and I like the stylized UI) but it is not at all, nor has ever been, a reference point for Dune: Awakening. |  |

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. We're taking our own way of doing things. |

And the reason is BG1. That whole "scratching away the fog" is, to me, a visceral and interesting part of gaming. Had to fight so hard to have it, because Fog of War is apparently one of the hardest things ever |

Joel: Depends on the suspensor type. Baron seems to be using a standard negation suspensor - so he'd get pushed by anything with momentum |
