[2021] Thoughts on the update

6.57 GB!

This one of (if not) the biggest Dauntless updates ever. It added: CB rework, new graphics and shaders, Sahvyt, a new cell, a map for Ramsgate, a new huntpass, and reworked 2 islands. That's a lot. This update added a lot of great new things, but also some bad.

Sahvyt: this is probably one of the coolest behemoths of the game, rivaling thunderdeep and bloodshot. His attacks are hard to read at first, but you get used to them easily. His damage seems to be decent, and his weapons + armor are pretty good. The weapon UE, while maybe not practical, its fun to use.

Warlords of Krolach: this huntpass is pretty cool, and has some of the coolest looking transmogs I've seen for a huntpass. They knocked it put of the park with this one.

Tactition: this cell is pretty unique, having to dodge 3 times before adding a short wound bonus, while maybe not the best it has some uses.

The new graphics: I'm at a loss for words. The game looks beautiful. The draw distance was increased, the textures were upscaled, the water reflects, all of it its amazing. I booted up all of the escalations and they look phenomonal. Wonderful job PHXL

The new shaders: what else can I say? They look amazing.

Island rework: the infinitely replayable side quests are an easy way to grind rams and combat merits so that cool. The islands look beautiful too.

And finally, the CB rework: I'm conflicted to say the least. I like how they do wound, and I like how the combos work now but wow. For starters, please bring back swinging blades. I don't think anyone likes that change at all. The way that PHXL changed chainblades means that most combos will be used. Second of all, meter genaratiom feels slower than usual, but that doesn't bother me too much.

What do you guys think? I think this update was pretty cool, it just has a few flaws
