Hunt pass cosmetics were once obtainable freely at anytime during a hunt pass. I can purchase the elite hunt pass, play when I want, acquire ALL rewards WHEN I WANT.

NOW, rewards are time gated to dailies and weeklies.....beautiful. Welcome, to Dauntless, the part-time job.

The huntpass is 42 days long and you want us to grind almost EVERY SINGLE day.

According to CpnMaelstrom, “With every daily and weekly, the challanges gives: 22.800 coins and 5.460 crystals. The armor set, 7 weapons, emote, title costs: 20.400 coins and 5.200 crystals...You can [only] miss 13 daily challenges.”

This is a HUGE setback compared to hunt passes previously-Not only do I have to grind almost everyday- I am forced to be more active, destroying my interest in the game entirely. That’s right, I just feel like throwing in the towel and I just want to give up entirely.

And....NO....i do not accept your monetization of Slayers Club to accelerate my progress. This has to be a joke!!!!!

I just want it back the way it was: I give you plat, you give me my cosmetics. I give you plat for hunt pass, you give me the freedom to do the hunt pass WHEN I want. Gosh, I miss old Dauntless...

Side note: At this point, with all the grindiness that’s being released, I wouldn’t be surprised if PHNXLABS started to make everything in the store purchasable quests that unlock a cosmetic. For example, purchase the “Green Dye Quest” for 300 plat to receive a quest that requires you to kill Malkarion 100 times to get the EXCLUSIVE green dye! With Slayers Club, this gets cut down to 50 Malkarion.

TLDR: The release of dailies and weeklies makes Dauntless feel like a part time job and I have already quit.

Thanks for writing this all down! We're reading a ton of feedback right now and are working to reduce friction. Here are our first steps for this week:

  • Remove Crystals as a currency
  • There will be 4 Weekly Challenges and 1 Daily Challenge
  • Daily Challenge Coins will be seen as a bonus on top of doing your weeklies
  • Armour items costs would be reduced from 2200 Coins to 2000 Coins
  • Weapon items costs would be reduced from 1400 Coins to 1000 Coins
  • Emote items costs would be reduced from 1400 Coins to 1000 Coins
  • Limited items would stay the same (but have Crystals removed). Patrol Keys would cost 400 Coins
