Dune: Awakening developer Funcom mentioned there’s a repair coming for gamers sick of getting squished by helicopters — identified in-game as Ornithopters — in PvP.
As admirably reported by redditor Bombe18 within the video under, there’s just about nothing you are able to do if an Ornithopter units its sights on you, because the second you self-revive, the Orni will likely be again to rinse and repeat. It’s a notably egregious option to die given there’s little or no you are able to do to cease it except you’ve a missile launcher with you.
“Dune builders, I conform to have a defeat in PvP,” Bombe18 wrote (thanks, Eurogamer). “However been [sic] crushed by orni that do[es] not take any harm? No.” They even recommend a couple of options: both let the Orni take harm when it crashes into gamers like this or, you understand, simply disable crushing and its means to make aerial assaults.
The excellent news is it did not take lengthy for Funcom to note Bombe18’s (and plenty of others’) plight.
“Sorry about this,” replied Funcom’s Chief Artistic Officer, Joel Bylos. “We’ve got folks engaged on fixing the goomba stomping ASAP.”
It’s not simply the Ornithopters that take no harm, both — it is the identical with all automobiles. So except Funcom addresses them concurrently, gamers concern the PvP meta will merely roll from Ornis to one thing else. Fingers crossed we get a answer quickly.
