Hotfix 1.6.0B: Reward Cache, Currencies, Daily and Weekly Challenges

DAILY AND WEEKLY CHALLENGES

We heard your feedback: daily time gates go against how you play Dauntless. Dailies should be a bonus on top after completing your weeklies, not a mandatory activity that requires daily login. To address this, we have upped the number of weekly challenges (from 1 to 4) and lowered the number of daily challenges (from 4 to 1) which will allow you to earn coins faster.

Example for clarity:

  • If you were completing every single challenge in a week
    • Before: 1 weekly (1,000) + 28 dailies (2,800) = 3,800 coins
    • After: 4 weekly (4,000) + 7 dailies (700) = 4,700 coins
  • If you were completing challenges 1 day per week
    • Before: 1 weekly (1,000) + 4 dailies (400) = 1,400 coins
    • After: 4 weeklies (4,000) + 1 daily (100) = 4,100 coins

Updated challenges to 4 weekly challenges and 1 daily challenge (previously was 4 daily challenges and 1 weekly challenge).

REWARD CACHE CURRENCIES

We heard your feedback: having 2 currencies in the Reward Cache was confusing. To address this, we have lowered the price of all items that required ancient crystals, and removed crystals from the game.

But what about the ancient crystals I already earned? Crystals and coins were earned at the same time, making them redundant. You'll no longer need them to buy Reward Cache items.

Example for clarity: You could buy the Elder Dustrobes armour for 2200 coins and 750 crystals, now you can buy that same armour now for 2000 coins.

If you purchased items from the Reward Cache at the higher coin price and would now like a refund of the difference, please write into support here and we will get that sorted for you!

The Reward Cache now only uses 1 currency (coins).

Removed ancient crystals from prices in the Reward Cache.

Armour skin costs have been reduced from 2,200 coins to 2,000 coins.

Weapon skin costs have been reduced from 1,400 coins to 1,200 coins.

Emote costs have been reduced from 1,400 coins to 1,000 coins.

Patrol keys now cost 400 coins

Crystals will be removed from the UI in 1.6.2.

OTHER FIXES

Power surged gear will now show the correct magnitude of buff in UI (+1 to +3 for example). Unique effects scaling correctly will be fixed in 1.6.1.

Fixed the DPS meter in the Training Grounds.
