Are there currently any plans in your internal roadmap for giving guilds and other "social" aspects of the game an update / refresh? If feasible at this time, is there a shareable timeline for when we can expect more concrete information about this?
I mention guilds specifically because they've essentially been glorified friend lists in Dauntless for the longest time, and are a common feature in many MMOs.

Right now we're focusing on polishing the social experience first. Things like wonky UI, joining up on players, queueing up with your friends.

Once we smooth out the kinks, we'll look to the future.

Is it possible to explore an exchange system, like exchange extra parts for rams or trade with other slayers, like a slayers market of sorts would be great?

We've been talking about how we'd want to tackle this kind of system and economy. We really want extra parts to have continued value, but we're don't have a final design yet for what this would look like.

This is high on our want list, but nothing past initial discussions.

I have the following questions:
1) Will you make the weapons and armor for each behemoth variant?
2) Will you be putting in bonuses or incentives for guilds? (type slayer link)
Tip: rework the build system with the ability to rename builds (for specific activities or against a behemoth or increased damage bonuses) + that each slot has its own emoji wheel and accessories

We'd certainly like to turn every behemoth variant into a full fledged behemoth with its own gear. We have to prioritize this against building new behemoths, so it's probably something we'll tackle slowly over the next while.

On guilds, we've talked about adding more functionality to this system for a long time but haven't been able to prioritize it over other features. Hopefully one day!

Will you rework any weapon after Chain Blades?

Yes! We want to touch on more and give them some love.

Hello, long time fan of the game glad to play it, my questions are... 1.will there be defensive weapons down the road like anything you can block with fir example sword and shield or even a shield based weapon. Honestly any defense based weapon would be cool

We actually have an ongoing internal joke that our next weapn will be double shield. But seriously, we have considered all types of weapons, including some that include a shield.

Will you guys add the ability to assign different crowns and maybe gliders to different builds?

I love trying to match everything to the colour scheme of the weapon but I never match the crown or glider eventhough it's just a menu away. Also with the addition of more crowns for each element I'd love to still use them all instead of just sticking to one.

We have definitely had conversations about how to get more style elements as part of the loadout. No immediate plans to action the conversations, but we feel the same as you!

As an endgame player who has been putting a lot of hours into dauntless - mainly trials, for a long time to improve and become prominent in that field - I wonder if there are plans to reward this level of dedication and time investment, perhabs new trial cosmetics like T5 crown or armour?

It's something that comes up a lot in the community, and I've passed it on frequently. We are discussing what this would take and want to make it happen.

I get that there might not be enough tracks to make a new music album yet, but why not upload some of the latest behemoth themes to the youtube channel? Always thought it was odd that Thrax got his theme uploaded, but no other keystone did, personally looking forward to hearing Phaelanx theme outside of the fight.

I'll cheat and say this is not a question :D. Would love another art book just like the original Art of dauntless, bet there's lots to show with new Ramsgate, Hunting ground islands, strikers and the newest behemoths. The original Art book doesnt have keystones, or even rift/valo.

This is a really good point. I'm going to make a note to see if I can get this done!

This version of Shrowd will have some differences and rewards that I don't want to spoil, but look forward to it!

Are there any plans to have the Unseen appear more and not just around Halloween. And from my understanding the Unseen believe that the shattered iles should fall right? Can't remember the lore correctly

We love Dark Harvest for the Unseen but... you'll see the influence of the Unseen other places too :)

Will all the owners of last year Unseed Crown get something special this Dark Harvest?

There will be a new event that will be appearing during Dark Harvest with a new rumour to chase. Players that got their crown from last year won't get anything special from the same Nevermore event that is appearing this year.

Will there be more Neutral Behemoths?

Right now, we're focusing on our core elements. If we go back to neutral, we'd want to elevate the personality of that category if that makes sense.

For now, expect more elemental focused Behemoths.

Are there any plans to revisit escalations? Fresca is the only one that feels like a different experience than just kill behemoths and that sort of touch for the other escalations would be a great improvement. Or even increasing the type of behemoths so that you get more of the esca type along with neutral behemoths so it actually feels like you are doing an elemental escalation, now that there are plenty of behemoths to fill those escalations with.

Also side note, after reaching max escalation level there should be a repeatable level that you can gain esca xp for that rewards rams or something simple. This would make it so the extra xp from slayers club (or that event you did with the coin flip) actually matters to the people that have maxed esca tree levels.

Right now we're looking at meaningful ways to update escalation so players have reasons to play it. We do really want to complete the "set" eventually.

Since phaeleanx is going to be added to the paradox breaks and twilight sanctuary, will he also be added to escalations?

Yes, Phaelanx should be in Escalation soon.

A few of our devs will be hanging out and answering questions between 3PM and 4PM PT.

Ask anything your heart desires about Dauntless' past, present, and future!

IMPORTANT: Please keep it to one questions. This makes it much easier to answer as many people as possible and share the love <3
