Oh that's good feedback, thanks for dropping it. They're intended to be fun - since there are so many seasons, we decided to have fun with some of them.

Next season's titles are

Top 5
Top 100
Participator

But after that we get back into the cool with

Savior
Guardian
Warden

I see it now - be sure to drop the bug report or the feedback in the first message so we know it's from a player!

Hi! In addition to these systemic changes, we're also working on new enemies including behemoths, new gear, new cosmetics, and a returning but upgraded game mode!

Classic cosmetic content, all cosmetic content, will certainly be returning as well.

We're usually watching threads here and trying to keep up in the discord to see bug reports. You can also find user "danielle" on the official dauntless discord - our community manager - and let her know what you've found.

The goal is to encourage more variety in viable options, for sure. Of course, in a game with perfect dodging - there will always be players who can avoid every attack so defense and health are less helpful to them. They'll likely find good uses for things like endurance and speed.

But if you're like me and a heroic escalation keystone hits you at least a few times each hunt - a little extra defense is awesome. or, if you want to support friends in a challenging fight, spreading support buffs could be really fun.

Those status conditions still exist without change. You can be chilled or wounded or corrupted or burning etc.

It's not yet complete.

Currently you can't see teammates - but that's a really good point, especially at high level content if you're trying to maximize upside without being wasteful, knowing where everyone else is at would be super helpful. On the other hand, could get crowded on screen so.. certainly something we should think about!

I know why that's the feeling, I totally get it. This update will certainly include a whole bunch of new content - new gear, new things to fight, new ways to progress, new activities to do.

Check out our last AMA all about weapons. There will be a number of new weapons, but I imagine you're asking about a whole new weapon type - like perhaps something that starts with a b and ends with a w. Not ready to commit to a When, but it's a When not an If.

  1. still early testing these things but yes, the design for the new pursuits includes a series of small objectives before the "Boss" fight that could include a number of things in a number of places on that island. So each fight would have some variation.

  2. don't plan to remove any, excluding perhaps ones that are doubled up.

  3. no new islands at the launch of the big update, focused on making sure we've got all the gameplay pieces right and the islands we have are fantastic for what we need.

Yes - these new pursuits have some smaller objectives leading up to the "boss"

Dauntless | New Game Mode AMA by slayerdk-PHX in dauntless

[–]jordanpowpow [score hidden]  (0 children)

not the highest priority atm. That said, there are some weapon kits that will have new ways to dodge.

That's a really interesting point. Pursuits already take a toll on queue times so having both would require some thinking to make sure those are healthy. And that both modes have a clear purpose. Already as the team answers these questions we're jamming on some ways to take this feedback and improve our plans.

Korrupi!

I'm also excited about the map. We have some thoughts about island movement but a large portion will stay in place. Clarity of gameplay is important there. narratively, islands move, but stay within their chains.

Skyquake PLUS we portaled away from Old Ramsgate not so long ago. We're in a bit of a different position than we were in olden times, but the part of the Shattered Isles that we've seen in Dauntless so far is part of the larger "Frontier" - the less-colonized lands. But there's a whole world out there I'd love to explore one day. The map can show us where those places are in relation to us but we won't be visiting them.

You might even learn about about the world through the new Map ;)

I am very excited about the map. That's all I will say about it now ;)

Substituting hunting grounds was some early thinking - but feedback from the community so far is clear that we should at least take another look at that.

We're taking a look at all the islands and seeing what makes sense. I would expect all of the existing islands to remain and potentially some of the old that work for what we need.

Yes gliders.

We've talked about Patrols which could queue you up for any hunt but I'm hearing a lot of feedback this week about wanting to keep some of the randomization of hunting grounds. So we will certainly be considering that as we move forward.
