Hey everyone,

With 1.6.3 out the door, we thought it would be a good time for a developer AMA.

We'll be here between 4PM PT to 5PM PT to answer as many questions as we can about Dauntless.

Everything's on the table!

Important!

Please keep it to one concise question per comment. This makes it much easier for our developers to answer them one by one.

UPDATE: AMA CONCLUDED

We're done for the day! Thank you for all your questions. We did our best to answer as many as possible, and we hope we shed some light where we could.

Until next time, see you in the Shattered Isles, Slayer!

Kaltauga was a stab at using existing Behemoths to create some variants that were variant in narrative only. A different look, maybe a new reward, a mission, or an event. It went over pretty well, though obviously not nearly as well as variants that have their own moves and stuff.

We actually were talking about Kaltauga yesterday though. Now that we have the Hunting Grounds, there's an opportunity to have named Behemoths like that come in for a special event.

When we pick the next Behemoth to work on, part of it is balancing out the elements, but part of it is also what kinds of ideas the team is excited about.

But yes, definitely need more shock and radiant friends to play with (and by play I mean stab)

It's a cool idea. If this will come true, it should be to add new exclusive rewards directly to the trial store of the players with the title of the dauntless, rather than let the players enter the top five again

More rewards for Trials isn't off the table. We've been seeing more desire for a top 5 reward, so I'll pass it on!

I know the environment team is really excited about doing more activities like this on islands. We are exploring it, but also want to make sure it doesn't become a kind of chore that just makes it take longer to get where you are trying to go

Possibly. I will say most of our focus is really centering on things that add/change/improve/make new game play. Looking bad ass is important, but we've added a few options for that recently. For the next while, we'll of course have new cosmetics - but probably no new cosmetic systems for a while.

We were discussing that today based on some community feedback. We'd like to do it one day but we don't have any current plans for it.

Looking at Ostian around the corner, it's safe to say Ostian Repeaters would be the new rework (speculation, ofc). Hinting at a new Umbral could be in the mix, too🤔.

Okay, so my question based off speculation, any ideas so far on this weapon's particular rework? Are any ideas for the Aether absorption mechanic on paper to improve or replace it?

Will each barrel now have cell slots to prepare for the upcoming new cell modifications?

Yes, Repeaters are next up! Just working on the roadmap information for that one now.

The plan is to rework their crafting to work like the other weapons. We're also reworking some of the camera and adding diversity.

It's still in early design land, but there was a large discussion around stagger damage and Repeaters the other day. We'll let you know when we hammer out the details!

Are you planning on filling the blanks left in the game that currently are resca, radiant and shock variants, another terra variant and another umbral and radiant behemoth?

They're on the radar for sure. And are good things for us to consider as we plan seasons.

But balancing things like number of behemoths of each element isn't the only thing we consider. Instead, we look at the pitches from the team, the ideas they're excited about, and what we think we can deliver to make the game better for players. So, sometimes that's going back and filling in those spaces (Like Thunderdeep Drask!). And sometimes it's adding something new.

That said, shock variants have been talked about quiiite a bit. :)

However, Heroic Escalations will definitely bring something new to the table. And that's coming very soon!

Currently we balance the size of the islands with the performance limitations we work within, that said we are always looking at ways to increase the sense of exploration and create more seamless experience for Slayers.

Next up we want to focus on Repeaters and Chain Blades. After that, I think the Hammer and Axe need a bit of love and more utility for more combos.

Hello! Our first goal was to find a sustainable way to address the bug itself and then did testing around the fix specifically.

That being said balance is a continual challenge and the team will use various data points to flag if we overadjusted something. If it continues to feel weak and we see that impact negatively reflected in our charts we would take steps to get it back to a healthy level.

Ive been playing for a good while now, not as long as most but at least 3 years into the game.

Has there been any consideration on behemoth-specific modifiers/behavior changes? The newer modes to the game, ala trials, escalations or even public events all hinge upon these global modifiers that work universally on all behemoths, but I feel somewhat diminishes its difficulty/strategy by being so generic. In the end, they often feel like an extra layer of annoyance rather than strategy.

All in all, the Shrike we fought 3 years ago is the same Shrike today, but with global modifiers here and there which imo fail to lessen combat monotony. So, is there any consideration for behemoth specific changes? Are there any other ideas/plans on how to keep these older behemoths from going stale?

Yes, we've been talking about that a lot more internally recently, especially around behemoth behavior/tuning changes. We want to try and find a good balance between creating new content while making sure some of the older behemoths don't feel stale and solved but it's a tricky balance. This season, we're experimenting with that balance by revisiting Thunderdeep Drask, making a new behemoth, and trying to add more focused fixes/improvements/changes to some of our existing encounters and use that to inform how we tackle this for future seasons.

We're working on an in-game message for this, but yes, these faction paths will go away. They were unique to this season. We plan on doing more in future seasons.

First of all, I hope you're all having an amazing day! ^^

Does the team ever take a look at data on how certain behemoths are performing? As in if players are getting "rekt" more than usual by certain Behemoths?

This might sound stupid, but I was just curious about it, since when I'm on public hunts everyone seems to struggle against *certain* behemoths >w< (looking at you Flame Rezakiri and Stormclaw - especially on the event where there are 2 Stormclaws mimicking each other)

Does the team ever take a look at data on how certain behemoths are performing? As in if players are getting "rekt" more than usual by certain Behemoths?

Yes, we have a ton of data about behemoths in the game down to things like how often certain parts are breaking, how much damage is being dealt/received, etc. The tricky part is figuring out the right metrics based on the massive amount of data we have to determine things are less objective like "engagement" or "getting rekt" because there's a lot at play but we have folks dedicated to parsing that out. It's really fascinating and adds a lot of perspective.

How was your day?

I wanted to be the one to ask this one, eh.

And obviously, the lore usual AMA lore question: can we expect any actual lore updates or changes soon? It's been getting quiet and stale for a little while now.

I'd love to see some new lore, especially considering the upcoming season is about Ostia, and it feels like the perfect opportunity to tackle the "political situation" in the Dauntless world.

You can definitely expect to learn more about how Ostia's relationship with the rest of the Shattered Isles has been affected by the power shifts there.

Combined with the recent arrival of and revelations about the historically significant Paradox Breaks (and Paradoxicon), it's got a lot of people uncertain who is looking out for them on the frontier, and in the case of all that time travel, some of them don't even trust their own histories anymore.

But as far as Ostia goes, one of the triggers for the Seismic rebellion was the Triumvirate pulling back protection for Ostian settlers. Who's been looking out for them?

ETA: The thought occurs that you might also be talking about physical lore items (okay, I was reminded!) we have several new ones lore nodes coming soon that will also launch some new quest content that... I am not sure we have talked about yet? But it's a little different and pretty lore-heavy. unlocks more new, straightforward quests to craft the (existing) exotic weapons and helms. We also have a Chronovore lore blog that recently launched, some relevant Journal entries related to the Paradox Breaks, you may find some revisions to the Middleman and Arkan Drew Journal entries, heck, even the island and gear descriptions have quite a bit of story squeezed into the space.

Let us know what sort of lore content--subject, format, how much gameplay might be involved--you'd like to play. We're always looking for more ways to add more!

A long timer (10 minutes) or recharge based on behemoth kills (10 kills, minimum 20% damage for credit) would be beneficial to players that alternate builds or have high consumable use. Newer players often tend to use up their stims too quickly as well.

We definitely want to convert supply crates to a cooldown based system rather than 1 per island. Hopefully we can get to it soon.

Having combos that work like Chain blade far cast for special or sword's hold primary fire. As every weapon combo keeps you in place, maybe the scythe could be a weapon with attack speed same as sword but with a ton of moves that revolve around slash dash

Sounds fun!

The Scythe could function as a type of "mount focused" weapon, where the player would utilize it to mount a behemoth more efficiently or use it to hook into the behemoth and evade an attack. For the ability, you'd unleash a powerful slash (that if spaced correctly) would do A LOT of damage based on how much health you're missing when activating it. Keeping the whole "death" vibe scythes are generally associated with and rewarding players with a risk v. reward ability.

If the scythe should be more "mobility focused" then I could see it as an evasion focused weapon with high damage that rewards players based on life missing. This should make it a unique enough of a play style for skilled players but rather difficult to pick up for newer ones. I quite enjoy the idea of a strong mobile weapon that incentivizes a diverse playstyle while managing your health for optimal damage output.

Could also give a bonus to gathered materials from behemoths whose parts you break. Especially since scythes are generally farming tools, it'd make sense to have it gather a bit more materials (or rather have a higher chance of better materials) upon part break. Or perhaps it gives more materials on part break?

Been a huge fan of Dauntless since grabbing the founders edition back in the Alpha, great to see how far it's come since. The team has seriously been doing a great job and I can't wait to see how this game pans out in the future! I've got some hope that we'll see a Scythe at some point in the games life cycle :)

Thanks so much!
