Why Is Dune Awakening CHOAM Salvage Rights Event On Hold? - Details, Reasons And Expected Launch
Dune Awakening's CHOAM Salvage Rights Event, which allowed players to salvage downed CHOAM freighters in Hagga Basin for a chance to earn rewards, has been suspended.
However, due to some critical technical issues, the developer has temporarily taken it offline while they work to fix the issues and bring it back online. This article will explain everything about this activity, including the background of the activity, the reasons for the suspension, and more.
Event Background
CHOAM Salvage Rights Event is a global quest launched by Dune Awakening, designed to bring players a fresh gaming experience. As a prelude to The Lost Harvest DLC and Chapter 2, which will be launched on September 10, this event allows players to obtain new weapons and cosmetic rewards by investigating, defeating enemies, and recovering shipwrecks.
Players can pick up contracts from CHOAM merchants located at tradeposts, enter the desert map of Hagga Basin, challenge new tasks, defeat enemies, and then obtain a series of loot including Dune Awakening solari.
Although the event was previously live, the game developers had to suspend its operation due to a series of unexpected game bugs.
Why Was The Activity Paused?
Worms and out-of-control breach spawns were the primary reasons for this pause, and according to player feedback, these issues caused a lot of confusion and discomfort.
First, the worms seem to be overly active. Worms that should appear occasionally attack players at an extremely high frequency, devouring gear and supplies, making it difficult for players to enjoy a normal gaming experience.
Furthermore, some system vulnerabilities, including the shipwreck bug, remained unfixed, leading to uncontrolled enemy configurations in battles and causing significant frustration for players. As one player put it, “The map was filled with turrets, ships, worms, and everything in between. It was a complete mess.”
These unexpected game bugs caused many players to suffer heavy gear losses. Players who originally wanted to salvage safely had to face the crazy attacks of worms and the layers of siege of T3 enemies' turrets.
As a result, the game developers had to urgently suspend activities and wait for the problem to be fixed.
How Does The Activity Proceed?
CHOAM Salvage Rights Event will make Hagga Basin map more dangerous and volatile. Players will need to travel to Anvil Tradepost in Vermillius Gap in the east to find a new NPC merchant, CHOAM Representative.
After interacting with him, players will receive different contract missions, the goal of which is to salvage the crashed CHOAM freighter or destroy enemy artillery.
Specifically, the activity tasks include:
- Collect CHOAM Carg from aerial cargo ships or enemy turrets. These can be exchanged for rewards at the event vendor.
- The map is dotted with powerful gun emplacements. Players need to eliminate the guarding Kirab enemies and destroy the armor of these gun emplacements.
- Defeat 25 Kirab enemies around Vermillius Canyon, especially those surrounding gun emplacements.
Looking Forward To Being Back Online After Repair
At present, the suspension of the event will not affect the players' other normal gaming experience. The game developers said that they are actively fixing these technical issues to ensure that the gaming experience can be restored to the original set standards.
Once the issue is resolved, CHOAM Salvage Rights Event will be back online, allowing players to participate again and enjoy more adventures in the world of Dune Awakening.
Players also showed a certain degree of understanding of this incident. Although many people felt sorry for the suspension of the event, they were more concerned about whether the event could run more smoothly after the repair.
Especially for those who like Dune Awakening, the wait is worth it. After all, the long-awaited The Lost Harvest DLC and Chapter 2 are about to be launched, and CHOAM Salvage Rights Event will undoubtedly be an exciting start to this update.
In short, while the suspension of CHOAM Salvage Rights Event has disappointed many players, it also creates conditions for the final optimization and repair of the game. We hope that in the near future, players will be able to return to the challenging world of Arrakis and continue their Dune Awakening journey.
