Dauntless Dev Tracker

I was disappointed to learn on the official Discord that there will be no new elements until next summer. I was hoping that things would change when the new Gauntlet mode was added, but in fact it is a very boring mode, and I was even more disappointed when I learned about the above. Is there anything that can be added in small increments instead of all at once?

That sounds great Does that mean there still will be like two behemoths on one island with like one of them being the top of the food chain or is it one behemoth or does it even depend on island and behemoth?

Hey I am so incredibly happy that you are back and also with such great news that the game is far from over and will go on. And if that wouldn’t be enough I read the phrases „dynamic isles“ and „new Hunting experience and pursuit“ AND „open World like“so I am guessing there will be a pursuit like mode…guys thank you so much for listening.

Dauntless because of its core has so much potential and we do have a speedrun, a arcadian, a endless, a mission and a level based game mode. Although after pursuit and patrols went out the game laked on the real hunt based game experience.

My Question is: In bringing this „mode“ and working on more dynamic islands will the 10 original map models come back?(well some of them still exist but emberthorne cove, coldrunner key and the original hades reach where redesigned and I still miss the original designs). I mean the provide a more open worldy like feeling a bigger variation of islands can’t really be that bad and you do have the ...

Got a question from omega135 on discord who couldn't be here for the AMA:

I was wondering if old things would still be relevant or will be added back, as in previous additions like the primal and elder behemoths, the thornbound behemoths, heroic+ behemoths, and if they could be readded into the game in a fresh way like how thunderdeep drask was reintroduced

Do you see weapon swapping as a way for adding new weapons?

Like weapons which would struggle to be a complete standalone experience in reality of current Dauntless, but could work great paired with one of classic weapons.

Will any progress be transferred over when the update in a year drops, slayer's path, cosmetics that were purchased, reforges and so on. Many of us are end game players, just wondering if all the progress we have achieved will be in vain in this new upcoming version of Dauntless?

Will there be damage effects for radiant and umbral? Like how doing so much terra does healing and how so much shock shocks a behemoth etc

With the announcement of changes coming to Dauntless next summer, myself, and probably many other slayers, welcome the idea of these changes as the state of Dauntless currently is stale.

Dauntless is chucked full of potential and many players have been hoping for some time for the Devs to breathe new life into the game.

So my question is, given the state of Dauntless and how the Devs have seemingly not bothered much with the progression of the game itself, is Dauntless a project that the Devs are actually passionate about and want to see flourish?

I have played a fair few MMOs and it is does become quite apparent when a dev team may not be as invested in a gaming project as much as they could be, as this is what really makes any gaming project shine and become something that players truly enjoy, when the development team are behind the project 100%.

Mentioned as being in the works in the past but is there going to be added for old slayers to utilize the overabundance of parts that they have collected that aren't being used after weapons are all crafted?

How would, with the new weapon system getting added, level up. Would it be the same system, or different?

Would the behemoths be able to free roam, so you can use bait (like pursuits), and if so, would the behemoth be able to fight each other?

How would the new exotics work, and will there be new equipment like variants of armor for dires, lanterns, and Omnicells?

Nearly all presented changes are system design changes or _just_ programming features and improvements. And with confirmation that we'll be not getting a lot of cosmetics, it seems like art team is not on board with that huge patch. Is that correct?

Though cells will be more secondary, will they still bring uniqueness to builds & will they still maintain an identity to a build for it to perform well in your guys' vision with the new weapon system?

So jn did a little state on the following on discord last Thursday but I still wanted to ask. Can you tell us anything or is there just mayyyyyybe something planed for Underwater combat and by that also for community requested Water and Air aether frequencies? No doubt the development of to completely new aether frequencies with new environments and Behemoths would require a great update maybe evenly sized as the „The Shattered Isles“ Update and as you stated after next summer you want to come back to monthly updates. And I know this would consider much time, but is there a possibility that in the future some time around we might see those two elements with a big patch? After all me myself and many others here on reddit did posts on the topic and also created very decent concepts for Behemoths, themed islands and combat systems…would love to know your thoughts about that.

My only question is will equipping two weapons give you extra cell slots? Or will you reduce slots on weapons/only give the effects of held items?
