They&#8217;re doing the same thumper and land on thopter technique they perfected in [Deep Desert]. But now they&#8217;re using it to farm all the minor nodes in Hagga. This game has some massive issues ahead. Griefers are in an all-out war against everyone else on their server, and yet there&#8217;s zero way for solos to band together to stop it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And as a Dune fan, I don&#8217;t think planting a thumper and then having four thopters land on you is part of the mythology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/duneawakening\/comments\/1lnop0k\/griefing_is_now_in_hagga\">Griefing is now in Hagga<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/duneawakening\">r\/duneawakening<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t encountered the tactic this player is referring to, it involves a player landing their ornithopter (or &#8220;thopter&#8221;) on top of another player&#8217;s and planting a device called a thumper, which is used to summon (or distract) the desert&#8217;s giant sandworms. The sandworm then swallows up the victim along with their vehicle and inventory. Since it doesn&#8217;t require directly attacking another player, but rather has a sandworm do the dirty work for you, this trick works even in PVE zones.<\/p>\n<p>These &#8216;thopter-thumper raiders seem to especially like targeting solo players, so if you&#8217;re new to Dune: Awakening, it might be a good idea to get some friends to play with you or consider joining a guild to get more safety in numbers, especially while mining spice. The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/invite\/duneawakening\">official Dune: Awakening Discord server<\/a> may be a good place to start if you&#8217;re looking for a group to join.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, even playing Dune: Awakening in a group might not save you from griefers and toxicity in general. While the game has been popular, already pulling in over 1 million players, the community has struggled with persistent toxicity in in-game chat and PVP rule-bending throughout the map. One popular tactic already had to be patched out of the game (which is why you can no longer kill other players by landing a vehicle on them).<\/p>\n<p>Other players responded to the Reddit thread concerning griefing in the Hagga Basin to share more horror stories. For instance, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/duneawakening\/comments\/1lnop0k\/comment\/n0hhn8z\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web3x&#038;utm_name=web3xcss&#038;utm_term=1&#038;utm_content=share_button\">one user reported<\/a> that, &#8220;We had a guy on the server flying up to people on Juneteenth and calling them the N word in voicechat. Multiple people reported him doing it, and funcom&#8217;s official response was &#8216;just block them&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They weren&#8217;t the only person frustrated with Funcom&#8217;s response (or lack thereof) to issues with toxic players, with <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/duneawakening\/comments\/1lnop0k\/comment\/n0hjebi\/?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=web3x&#038;utm_name=web3xcss&#038;utm_term=1&#038;utm_content=share_button\">another commenter saying<\/a>, &#8220;From every official Funcom response people have shared here and the one I received myself&#8230; it&#8217;s pretty clear their policy is &#8220;deal with it yourself.&#8221; Which, honestly is exactly how they (mis)handled their previous games.
