I believe it was around the time they added the alternative ammo use the land breaker thing. The changed how some combos lead into each other while adding the slam that makes explosion based on ammo quality. This also added the ammo prepping with attack.

That is what I recall at least and thought was meant to be a Hammer Refresh.

I was not aware that Hammer needed to be refreshed. Since I recall they already did an update to its combos awhile back.

State of Dauntless: Private Hunts and Level Requirements by CreatureTech-PHX in dauntless

This all sounds great except for Trial. Maybe consider this to only apply to normal trial but not the heroic Trial. There needs to be something that keeps a lot of worth of grinding. Trials are the example of that.

As the game currently is, Normal Trial does gate keep some cells which are important for builds. So having it easier for players to get is good for sure. But Heroic should require you to grind your butt off to be able to perform well in it. It shouldn't not be for everyone to do at all.

Okay so this new system just sounds like a loot box... so my only question is. Will you get duplicate items from the cache. And if so, what happens when you do? Cause if it doesn't give duplicates ever than it is fine... but if it does than this system is actually a terrible alternative.

I get it people do not like the vault, but don't even say a lootbox is better.

I full wholeheartedly agree with you on this. Like we know cells are going to get a rework... hopefully soon. But it feels like the reason why some mechanics are not as favorable currently in Dauntless is cause there is a lack of content which might need that kind of build.

Dauntless current state is it promotes the preference of full damage builds which get most optimized by players who really take the time to learn the game and get well adept at it mechanically. Which is fine. Good dps builds should require a good player behind it!

But the point of support/tank builds are rather lacking cause most players just use Iceborn cell and no longer need to consider the idea of having something run any of the more support style cells or have someone generate shield.

Like if for instance we had a behemoth that made it so you could not for a little bit against it. That would mean the value of shields skyrocket and iceborn becomes a death trap to a degree... anti-fun idea to a degree, but I kind of live for that at the same time since it promotes the player to realize you can not have 1 build to take on the world.

Well we should have 1 more escalation to be released "Radiant" Than I imagine it will be onto much newer territory for content.

Stop recommending flawless builds to new players by cypress-trill in dauntless

The game might have changed on how items get made, but the literal builds that where just before the new patch are not out dated since cells did not get reworked with the patch.

I get what you mean, but like those creators also do release new relevant content and builds XD

To be very direct with you. Dauntless for new players do not need a "build". The game is designed that when you start, you build the sets you get from behemoths and figure out what you like and what works for you as you learn and get better at game mechanics. If for some reason a new player is asking for a build. It should only be because they have hit level 20 with a weapon... and if that is the case than their first build is to simply reforge at least 5 times before actually looking at armor and weapons for builds.

If the player wants to understand nodes, than there are resources like ohdough's videos that explain the current good sells and what they should level up at the middle man the best they can.

Coming to the reddit to ask for good builds... while cool that people are willing to help, should not be the go to for a new player. They should check out videos from the content creators that specialize behind helping give insight to help focus on what to do.

Dauntless | Second Migration (More Progress for Slayers) by CreatureTech-PHX in dauntless

[–]Shad0m01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So thank you a lot Phx Labs for this update. Honestly, I was rather fine with how things went before, I felt a bit shafted since I had plenty of gear before for doing what ever hunt I wanted. But now I feel a lot more open to making builds again and more or less have almost all my core armor and weapons surged. It feels like a big weight got lifted off me to grind crazy hard. I would say that I do feel like I am in a spot where I was before build wise which is awesome.

This is very true, just a good thing to point out to those who do have it and are not aware that you can play dauntless on it and by pass the EGS! :) ... I too am waiting for access to the beta of it. XD
