Hi Slayers!

We're planning for future seasons of Gauntlet and would love to hear from you directly — are there any particular stats that you'd love to be able to have on Weapon Trackers, aside from what we've already added so far?

We will consider every suggestion, but please note that only select ones may be further developed and implemented in-game.

Instead of adding more Trackers, listen to player feedback and fix the issues with current Trackers and preferably improve them as well (example make Trackers apply to every weapon type instead of each individual weapon).

We have been observing feedback and talking about/considering some broader weapon _type_ version of this, but it's not something we're actively working on at the moment.

Tracker tracker

Tracks how many trackers you lost due to the million kind of bugs which removed the tracker from the inventory or bugs it out on the weapon.

The bug i was referring to: https://streamable.com/5ad125

We're continuing to investigate some reports of issues where trackers get into bad states (either actually, or just the UI shows they have) - thanks for the further report.

There's a lot of amazing ideas for stat trackers already implemented, I think the best thing to do for the mechanic next is simply make them apply to each weapon type of a weapon. Even if this means making them much more expensive it would be worth it and make them much more enticing to grind.

I would be more likely to grind Gauntlet even if Trackers were 4x more expensive if they worked on every Warpike instead of needing 1 for each Warpike. I don't use only 1 Warpike, and I feel less motivated to use trackers as they're only showing a small fraction of my actual stats. It makes me feel discouraged from the gameplay variety of using different Warpikes if I want to grind out a tracker

Something we're thinking about for sure! Thanks for the feedback :)

Shock Proc tracker. Traded Hits (booped but got smacked). Shields Gained. Escalations completed (10-50+). Gauntlet Rounds completed. Highest Gauntlet Round completed. Friend Requests received.

There are a lot of goofy options, need I say more.

There's some cool ones in here, thanks for the suggestions!

You mean Friend Requests received and 90-100% of them denied? Because a lot of them are from randoms in Ramsgate that don't communicate and just send friend requests to everyone.

A reminder that you can turn off friend requests from randoms in settings if you'd prefer :)

These are cute suggestions, thanks!

Balance for solo would be a nice addition on the side :)

Yes, I get it's co-op mode, but a way for solo/non guild play to earn rewards would be good.

Appreciate the feedback here. Our intention is still for Gauntlet to be specifically a guild/party-based mode, given all other modes of the game support scaling for solo/smaller groups. We'll obviously let you know if that's ever something we want to adjust.

Perhaps a lifesteal/hp recovered back tracker? A solo kill tracker and a coop kill tracker would both be nice.

We've talked about this one a few times (and a "healing dealt" one), and have mostly held off because there's quite a lot of systems that could count here but work very differently and we'd be worried about missing some. Not to say we won't do it in the future though!

sepatrate tracking(from the introduction till forever) and showing (show the tracked stat when equiped)

untill then, i'm joining gauntlet only for weekly challenges and don't care what trackers do. actually, this season didn't even look, what are the new ones.

Correction, "maybe will do weekly challenges" when week 14 comes, if still will be playing dauntless.

Unfortunately with the way the underlying stat and objective systems work in Dauntless, there isn't a way for us to track stats for all states and from the past too. Trackers are an option to allow some limited version of that based on feedback we received. It's something we're aware players would love to have though, and may continue exploring options in the future.

We are not expected to reach lvl 700. Imo, it was a mistake from the devs to let the players know theres total 700 levels, because now it doesnt feel infinite.

439 levels gives 88 crests from guild completion and you can get another 88 by competing them yourself, so 176 crests this season should be pretty much enough to get everything multiple times.

Tested or not, if the difficulty gets increased, its bound to be impossible at a point.

Correct, there is no specific level we expect players to reach to "complete" a given season of Gauntlet. In some cases players have made it past things we thought might be roadblocks, and in other cases we've been surprised by where players have gotten stuck! It's about getting as far as you can through the puzzle of each level, not reaching an "end" (and there is no cap at 700 this season too, fwiw).

Trackers are not working properly rn. When you reforge or copy and paste builds, some stats are not showing properly and in the worst case simply reset to 0.
I also have another issue when I buy trackers : they are gone forever if I leave the game/crash/switch to another build. I lost like 10 trackers just because of that.
Another problem is you get trackers with crests, you get crests by completing Gauntlet lvls but when we are all stuck at lvl 440 how are we supposed to get everything we need ? You need to rebalance Gauntlet levels so we are not stuck half way to lvl 700. It's cool if it's challenging, it's not cool if it's impossible because you haven't tested it before.

I'm going to pass on your notes here to some folks looking into remaining issues with tracker persistence, thank you.

But yep, as Cpt mentioned below and I said in my reply, there is no "expected level" players should reach in a given season, and between the personal and guild milestone rewards, there are lots of available Gauntlet currency for the Research Lab.

What do you mean? I don't see such Options inside the game. Note I play on PS4.

I misspoke here sorry, was mixing it up with Party Invites (which are in our in-game settings).

However, as our game uses Epic Accounts, you can log in to the Epic Games launcher on PC or the Epic website and change your privacy and friend request settings there :)
