Greetings Slayers!

Welcome to the Focused Feedback thread where we present a featured topic for you to share your thoughts on in a centralized fashion. For this cycle, we will be putting a hold to our weekly topic voting as the topics for the following weeks will be reserved for the upcoming Trials behemoths. This thread is dedicated to all your feedback and serves as a centralized hub for the developers to gather your responses.

Our topic for this week: Malkarion Trials

A new lineup for Trials has arrived, and we kickoff with our flying friend from the Shock Escalation, Malkarion. Now, I think most of you are aware of the issues with the Malkarion Trials this week such as; the Danger Zones modifier not dealing damage, colliding with Malkarion can send you flying, and that weird visual desync when it's getting up from a boop while under the frost proc. We thought we'd acknowledge those issues out of the way so we can focus mainly on the your thoughts on this week's Trials.

  • What are your thoughts on Malkarion's modifiers on Normal and Dauntless difficulty?
  • Which modifier do you feel had the most impact to the outcome of the fight?
  • How did mounting feel considering that it included the Deep Freeze modifier?
  • Do you think the fight strikes a good balance between difficulty and fun? Why or why not?
  • How did you feel about encountering an Escalation behemoth in Trials? Would you like to see more of them in the future? Why or why not?

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below. Organize and format your feedback well and you may just receive a response from the devs themselves! 😎

Submissions related to the topic will be removed and redirected here. The comments will be displayed via contest mode which hides comment vote score and displays them in a randomized order to give each feedback a chance to be seen.

Hey everyone, seeing some bug reports in here without specifics. If Malk was especially buggy for you, please give us more details if you can!

Hey everyone! Reid here, one of Dauntless' gameplay designers. Thank you for your feedback on the Malkarion trial, we really appreciate hearing your thoughts. We're still experimenting with Trials and hoping to find ways to keep it fresh and exciting as we continue to build out other parts of Dauntless at the same time. You can look forward to a few other new trials encounters coming soon, and even more in the future, that your feedback here will influence!
