Looking forward to finally entering Arrakis. Read the books, loved the movies and was planning to play for the last several months. GamePass made it easy for me so I will start next week on PC and my XBox Ally X. Can't wait!

I'm glad they're bringing this game to consoles, I love the Dune universe and am excited to give this a go.

I bought the game a couple of weeks since the launch. Everything up until the deep desert I absolutely loved it. Since then I felt it started becoming increasingly more guild dependent. I'm a solo player and from South America so there's not much activity and it put me away. I'm desperately waiting for the September update and the single player experience. <br>And if I get some friends you join me try and give multiplayer a chance again. Great video! Loved it!❤❤

I played 400 hours without even touching the Deep Desert, as I hate PVP lol, I stop play about 9 months ago, and now I been waiting the 22 september Solo Mode patch to finally come back and enjoy myself again in this wonderful game and finally being able to go in the Deep Desert by myself and farm it like a maniac :)

Dune Awakening tempted this MMO player into my first survival game. And I LOVED it. I think I was just lucky to choose a very low population server / sietch because I didn't have any of the big bugs that "disappeared" materials out of chests, vehicles, or even entire bases. However all the major bugs like this and the player exploits you mentioned did inhibit my total enjoyment of the game by making me fearful they would happen to me. The only positive lesson I learned was to put most of my Solari and a good chunk of my more valuable materials and gear in the bank. I saw so many players say they lost all of their hundred-k or even millions of Solari and I wondered why they had it all in one place. But overall I really loved the Hagga Basin and the story. I never wanted any PvP so I never went anywhere that had that possibility. I stopped playing when I hit the crafting ceiling without Melange but have been keeping up my bases. I would still recommend the game.

I still wish water was scarcer and you couldn’t just keep farming water. Also a crossing the desert mechanic to avoid the worm would have been cool. <br><br>Funnily enough this was my first game I worked on so really wanted to try it, but was sad that the servers were basically empty when I finally did manage to play. <br><br>I also think the feudal system needs improvement. It’s a great idea but needs work.

Awesome video :) I learned a lot about the history of this game.<br>I have a day job, but i have been playing this game A LOT.<br>I did not know that Hagga Basin was originally PVP. Jees.
