Hello everyone.

I'm just a regular player with terrible english, who joined the game on launch this spring. I mostly like the game, it's fun and sometimes challenging, also frustrating as well and buggy, but hey, it's just a game.

But this thread is about being friendly and supportive. We all noticed that with the latest patch some new nasty bugs invaded the game and with all "old" ones it's kinda really bad combo. Sure sometimes it's hard to play it, or even hard to log in, but the point i would like to make is that nothing from that bad sh.. stuff is here intentional. You can be sure devs don't like that as well and they are working on fixes and maybe some things can't be fixed so easy because of how complicated code is or how many things they still have to do or even because there just are not enough people in developer team. Who knows. But be sure, EVERYONE there in Phoenix labs want to get rid of bugs and make their game beautiful and well crafted one. They just did something wrong as we all can. You might think their priorities sometimes are wrong, adding new content before fixing current looks wrong so as adding new paid stuff, but just imagine how difficult it is to maintain the right ballance in a free game to have everyting working and have some more income as well, everyone need to be paid for their work, it's really not that easy. All these bugs are stressful for the team meaning they need to add more focus there and there with all that limited power. Just think deeper, show some support, be respectfull. I'd be a little bit upset about all these hate threads. Just remember, no one at phoenix is trying to troll you and make your game broken, things just happen, but they are there, working for us so we are able to play that amazing game. I'm also sometimes just mad about bugs, but then i think about good sides of dauntless and all the fun it gives and i just want you all to be more peacefull persons. No enemies here (except boreus, go to hell boreus) we are all friends here and everyone want to have a nice game. Hate won't help, but support might.

I know this thread will be buried in the pit and tommorow people will still be as angry as today, but please everyone who can, just become a nicer person if you wasn't nice enough and help PHX to make their perfect game. With your support, constructive criticism, ideas and even memes we can help.

Have a nice day everyone.

Hi Bunheadwhat, this is a nice sentiment. But: My friend, my wife and myself have all bought your game pass twice to support the game. We’ve put up with time out after timeout on Xbox so that we really only spend half our time in the game playing the game if that. We’ve had major problems with frame rate and lag that have made server side hit detection feel unfair - though this may have improved recently.

Still we currently have a game that isn’t working half the time, we are playing in silence, and wondering why we are spending time and money this way. We were optimistic about this patch but overall the game is worse than it was before.

Can you give us some indication as to when we will be able to reliably play the game we have paid for (it’s not free)?

Can you give us some insight into the teams philosophy/approach- it seems like you don’t prioritise ensuring the game works over meeting a timeline. Like you just plan to fix it later, do you have as little respect for your players as it seems?

Serious questions, I’m not trolling, I quite like your game and have put a lot of time into it, but I wonder if we should move on.

Hey again! First off, thank you for supporting our game. It is clear that you love it and want us to get better, and I thank you for that.

We have pushed out the planned 0.9.1 patch and instead are putting out a hotfix before the end of the week to address the audio glitch issue, the FPS cap issue and the Trials bugs. Our philosophy is that we want to connect gamers around the world through Dauntless, and our approach to these bugs is that we acknowledge that this patch introduced bugs & we are pulling together a hotfix to correct that <3
