No, it's not just you – Dune: Awakening NPCs really did become harder as Funcom admits to "undocumented changes" in the survival MMO's last big update, says "we will revert it"

A good few months have passed since Dune: Awakening launched into "Mostly Negative" reviews on Steam, with the rating unsteady before it finally settled on "Mixed" – and with the survival MMO's player count dropping, the journey has been anything but easy. Now, a recent "undocumented" change to the game's NPCs has led to even more backlash.

There have been too many moments that have seen the community split across the five-month lifespan of Dune: Awakening, with everything from duping glitches to other exploits making the rounds online. While Funcom has worked hard to address many of these issues, including the difficult balance to strike between a fun PvE experience and fair PvP gameplay, as well as promises of features like the Base Backup Tool, many players still aren't satisfied.
