I know I'm not the first one to complain, but this game just doesn't feel the same anymore. Sure it's easy to have fun with friends, but the problems just stack up; the numerous bugs that have gone unfixed is ridiculous, and it seems the devs just don't care anymore.
Although reforge and HG did give some purpose to endgame other than escalation, it feels a little empty. And after reforging once or twice, you realize there's nothing else to do. Getting and upgrading armor sets has just become tedious, due to the removal of behemoth pursuits and the nerf on athersparks. Overall it just makes the process of getting simple stuff grindy and unecessarily tedious.
If there's one thing I'm just not liking, it's how much the game is starting to push purchases and plat. Rumors, patrol keys, and athersparks are just a way to slowly squeeze more money out of the playerbase, and it's sad. I genuinely like this game as an alternative to Monster Hunter and would love to see it grow. I really hope PHXL gets their act together because at this rate, Dauntless is slowly killing itself.
