[2020] I love the Hunting Grounds and I want to see it polished and developed further.

Hunting Grounds is the most fun I've had in Dauntless. More fun that Escalations. But there a lot of things I still want to see in it.

1. CAMPS

. I want to see camps with NPCs. I think Supply Crates

are cute. But you can only carry one and they cannot be restocked. I'd like to be able to swap loadouts suited for the behemoth I'm going to fight - this is specially true for Repeaters. I want a camp or two around the map that would allow us to change our loadouts including personality, and craft and re-stock supplies. Make supply crates craftable too (ex. 10 omnistone, 10 phoenix stone, 15 slayer's boon).

2. I also want NPCs in the camp that we can sell fodders/extra parts for rams. The slayer mastery path isn't cheap, so the extra rams would be great. These NPCs should also hand out quests. Just like the events that occur every 15 mins - it would be cool to have an npc do that but with quests. Quests could be to slay x behemoths, gliding challenge, gather x materials, find & collect quest item (flower, lost pet), deliver x to another npc, etc. The rewards would be rams, merits, or aethercharge.

3. I think I've only opened 25 chests so far and I have over 200 keys still. That's because chests spawn randomly and are hard to find. It'd be great if they would appear in the compass when you're close to them.

They give so much rams toooo. Or would this be a pet feature???

4. Mini boss

. The first time I saw Big Gruk I thought, "why are we fighting these itty bitty ones?" Like in the event too - so many little ones but no mini boss. He could do a charge atk, roar that pushes/incapacitates players, or fling people in the air with its tusks. I want more variants.

5. Environment and behemoth locations could be better. Ex. a cave - where is my cave? And if i'm looking for shrowd or shrike, shouldn't they spawn in elevated areas? It would just make more sense to me.

6. The cube

from the event seems so out of place. It seems like an ancient technology. I honestly would prefer a chest being dropped from the sky by an airship.

Even though this update was very controversial, I think Hunting Grounds has a lot of potential. It can only go up from here. Right?
