Summary:

- Lanterns (abilities. they stay as cosmetics) are removed, current lantern abilities will be moved to weapons as abilities (like the current legendary abilities)

- In the new system, weapons going to have forced special, mod + unique passive (innate perk) and active (legendary ability), which means you can not change these on the weapons

- Talent system: stats related to the weapon's abilities
(dps abilities -> dps talents, defensive -> defensive talents)

- Max Level: increased from 20 to 60

- Armor:
From: +3 innate perk and cell slot for +3 cell
To: +3 innate perk +2 another perk and cell slot for +1 cell
Body and leg armor has 2 cell slots as weapons no longer gonna have cell slots
Cell slots are now prismatic
Cell ranks are +1 only, instead max +3

- Cell farm: Event farming for cores for every cell -> different game modes / activities gives different cells

- Perk levels: Instead getti...

Crit can go to 100% from stacks! Thanks for this summary, it's a pretty good breakdown.

Yeah same. The vibe of that post makes it feel like reforges won't be a thing anymore, but they obviously didn't outright say that either. I got a few weapons left to get to 10 reforges. I'll still work to get them all to 10 before the update just because I wouldn't want to miss out if you get to keep those boosts as a legacy reward or something. FOMO and all that 😅

Hopefully the next update posts will shed more light about that.

These boosts will still be available in the new system. While we will no longer be reforging weapons, people will keep their current reforge score, and will still be able to advance their reforge score (both for numbers go up, and for unlocking those boosts). Jordan has more details on how reforge will increase, we're still settling on an exact mechanic, but likely tied to either mastery, or hitting progression thresholds on these and other new weapons as we release them.

On top of what others said, escalation bonuses can help a lot if you want to aim for Terra escalations, though maybe not needed it can help with higher hit goals than 5k though.

Also, don't underestimate Frenzy Tonic and Inspiring Pylon. In addition, remember adding part damage doesn't increase core damage, so avoid boosting part damage as opposed to all damage.

If you go to Granny Strega in Ramsgate you can get the tonics for 500 gold each, and pylons for 1,000 each.

Additional reminder: Frenzy tonic does 30% bonus damage when near an enraged behemoth vs the 15% otherwise.

Hello, I just got on this game, may I ask what game are the devs focusing on these days?

We have separate active teams developing both games! Our Dauntless team is currently heads down focusing on a major update. You can check AMAs here&restrict_sr=1&sr_nsfw=) for the past 6 months to get a good idea on what the team has been working on!

I was just surprised to see you using chainblades and skullforge.

We have not set an exact date yet, just that we are planning to launch it this summer!

Weapons level up to 20, you can then reforge in the middle of town to lvl 1 for Aetherhearts which can be used to power surge weapons and armor to make them stronger. Also, leveling up weapon bonuses on your slayers tree. Those bonuses work with all weapons. 10 reforges per weapon are useful in that regard, but you can keep doing it.

Beyond that, hit "M" in town for the map. Behind "Arkan Drew" (the lantern) there's a machine you can use to set bonuses for escalations (you can level up to 25 for each escalation type).

Things to do -

Escalations for runs with several behemoths (1-13 is easier, 10-50 usually helps to have a lot of levels unlocked).

Join people in hunting grounds islands.

Focus on quests, bounties, and challenges "U", don't forget to check the "Reward Cache" under "Challenges" (or "P") there are 6 days left on the current coins/things to purchase.

I just realized I gave all PC commands, but these should be findable in ...

Yup!

Looks like it was a minor incident involving a checkbox being checked (or not checked idk). The checkbox has once again been unchecked (or checked idk).

TL;DR They're gone. Press "F" to pay respects.

I would try restarting the device, and also making sure the age of your Epic account is set properly on the Epic website as well as double check that it's the one you're connected to. Anything beyond that, you should write into https://support.playdauntless.com/

Face tanks are totally fine for all modes outside trying to 3* trials. They even seem to have no issues with beating Hesca timers to get to the final level. Would just say I'd try to limit it to only as much as you need so you're not slowing things down without reason.

I found the problem with Medic, particularly in Heroic Escalations, is if you're making use of it that means your allies are dying too much and you wont make it to the boss. Even +3 sturdy works to easily revive people as you can take a hit while reviving.

Best to rely on your Omnicell (Bastion), Lantern (Skarn) and Tonics (Bulwark) for additional defense.

Parasitic +3 is the only perk you'll require to invest as far as defense is concerned. The rest of your perks should all contribute to DPS:

  • +6 Adrenaline
  • +6 Endurance (or Predator if you get hit rarely)
  • +6 Catalyst (carry Frenzy, Blitz and Bulwark tonics)
  • +6 Pulse
  • +6 Berserker (or +3 Berserker and +3 Overpower)
  • +3 Parasitic
  • +3 weapon's innate perk (prefer Frostwulf)

Select defensive amps like Torrent Shield, Healing Stream, Breath of Life, etc. if you get any of those options. The 'From The Ashes' amp is a rare amp of Epic rarity but if you get it, you'll receive a free revive each round.

Have similar with a pike and I accidentally solo'd Radiant hesca with this mess and terrible bonuses (got bonus damage for allies who dropped out after round 1). This is a "I'm gonna get hit in the face a lot and that's okay" build. Core: Iceborne/Koshai's lantern (The life leech ones)

One thing to keep in mind is meta builds are highly DPS focused and not maximizing or at least creating semi high DPS is generally considered bad, but defensive builds are totally okay, even in Heroic Escalations. Hescas will always be on the hard end, but with people focusing on meta builds, they can feel even more daunting than they are; though again, they're still difficult!

  • +6 Adrenaline
  • +6 Endurance
  • +6 Catalyst
  • +6 Tough
  • +3 cunning (Bond : Gyre of Night, again this was radiant)
  • +3 Rage (Again, gonna get hit and that's okay)
  • +3 Reuse (This is kinda broken, I have no shame)
  • +3 Sturdy (Not falling down when gettin...

Hi there! I was gonna hop on and play for the first time, but this is happening when I try to load in. My windows is updated, my drivers are updated, and i've restarted, redwonloaded, and verified all my game files many times.

Can anyone explain what my problem is and how to fix it?

My GPU is an AMD radeon 580 if that helps.

Hey there u/Kman460.
I'm sorry this is happening to you! Unfortunately there isn't much we can help you with here on Reddit. As per rule #1, please contact the Dauntless support and they should be able to help you troubleshoot your issue. 👍

Cheers!

I'll be interested to see what comes of this! Are you working on it for a video essay project? Your own personal understanding of the history? Either way, you are welcome to DM me as well if you need. Best of luck with your hunt for more information on the history of our game.

So this year im questioning why is this Year Halloween Event so disappointing ? There are no specificly like Halloween Passes out there (except Unseen 15 lvl) nor really all couple of past year Returning Halloween Skins like in Season Hunted Shadows…

Especially we were hyped all yeeear for the Night Hunters Set who was obtainable all year in pass and lately in reward cache…

But this year there are just some normal skin sets added for Halloween…

Veeery disappointed to see how the event turned out after beeing hyped for the Halloween Pass in Spooky Season 2023…

So i guess there isnt anything coming on 31. Oct. ?

I hope my words can reach out to you devs and it can be done something about this…

Happy Halloween, S...

Hey AspectNo535, happy to hear you love the spooky season!

As mentioned in our initial announcements about The Shattered Isles update, we're currently focusing our dev efforts on the major update patch. As such, there won't be any new content or patches until that is released in Summer 2024. After that, you can definitely look forward to more exciting new content coming your way next year!

We hope you still enjoy the spooky season! We have a Dark Harvest themed Fashion Slayer contest running on social media right now, so be sure to enter that for a chance to win some fun Dark Harvest prizes!

It might be a bit off topic, but is there an attempt to subvert attempts to min/max these things? The perk meta has been a solved equation ever since gear was standardized to +3, we have easy access to algorithms that do the build-craft for us. Is this form of build-craft that allows you to get exactly what you want whenever you want going to be the status quo?

I love the idea of simplified perks, but I'm worried it will be the same end-result of "stack perks for 10 might and 10 critical with this tool!"

First, the +3 standardization will no longer be the case. Perk activation thresholds will be different based on the strength and value of a Perk. That said, this is still fairly solvable. Where some decision making comes in, is that very few perks just grant MIGHT or CRITICAL directly. They have conditions which grant stacks. Is it worth it to have the bare minimum perks that, in a perfect world with all conditions met, could reach the cap, or is it better to have a bit more than that, possibly exceeding the cap, but making it possible to reach that cap faster in a fight?

Ultimately, I expect metas to develop and settle just as they have today, but I'm hoping that these changes still offer more avenues to reaching that meta that give you places to customize and put your personal spin on it. The meta may be 10 MIGHT, 10 CRITICAL, but every weapon may want to reach that differently. The Hunger, for example, has natural stacks of CRITICAL built in. A fully talented upgraded Hu...

Great point- a lot of what a player sees can attribute to what they know. Will there be changes to deep wound to make it visual? Other debuffs are visually represented, and with some fine tuning might not even need an actual timer at all, which could add to the difficulty and immersion. Say something like “The fire is almost out, now I need to roll one or two more times” or “The static has almost faded, I should be able to use consumables in a second”

I have vetted this with anyone, but I'm going to try to remove wound (the debuff on the player) from the game.
