Dauntless is becoming a time travel game now? You're gonna tell me slayers will travel time soon?

Seriously, the word 'elder' doesn't fit for those shielded behemoths. To me elder and primal behemoths should be an entire new type of behemoths, not the one we know with modifiers.

I can't call them elder and primal because it doesn't fit their look, they're just the same behemoths, there is even no new attack move. Nothing to make them deserve to be called that way. It should have been the next state after 'Dire behemoths', but sadly no.

To me those term (elder and primal) have been chosen for the wrong content.

So there is a lot to address here, but I'll do my best. I think we had a slight misstep when naming these Behemoths. They were always meant to be smaller, yet unique, fights in the Hunting Grounds. I think by naming them Primal and Elder, we set expectations really high. We also took in a lot of feedback around the Primal pillars and learned a lot about what players want out of island events. We're now collecting feedback around Elders.

As for the lore, we have a lore blog in the works, social media posts, journal entries, and a couple of quests to help flesh out the time travel story. It will also hint at what's coming up in the next Ostian-themed season. If you're interested in the story of the Shattered Isles, keep an eye out for these...
