Exterior of that, Funcom have “decreased the frequency of Harkonnen assaults on sure Atreides bases (and vice versa) in Hagga Basin”, arrange the primary menu’s play now button to filter out personal servers, and made certain “sandworms now linger for a bit round spicefields which were lately harvested from”.

There are a bunch of helpful minor tweaks to every thing from base constructing to autos, fight and the UI. Nevertheless, in case you’re hungry for the massive PvP modifications that the devs have teased, changes to the Landsraad, or simply the power to deposit your entire stuff directly, you may should preserve ready.
