Hey!

So, I've been writing for Dauntless since around 1.7.0. Currently handling the weekly quests, journal entries, lore nodes, etc. My first big stab at narrative was Blazeworks, and I'm happy with the way it turned out. Working with the environment team to get those lore nodes in and create a story around Phaelanx was a really good time.

Right now, we're really focusing on the Ostian threat narrative (and all the players involved). I agree 100% that our next big narrative moment will be Radiant Escalation and I can't wait to work on it more. I haven't touched the time travel threads that were left after Chronovore dropped, because time travel as a concept is hard to do right. I also don't think we can fully put that cat back in the bag, but we can approach it with a lighter touch.

I agree with a lot of what's being said here. At its heart, Dauntless is a story about reclaiming lost lands, foraging new paths, and above all, fighting big Behemoths.

I'm the designer who made this change. It was done alongside the release of Heroic Escalation. At the time, I wanted to tune the balance of some of the most extreme amps, and Virulent Impact is the top of that list.

Virulent Impact is fun, no question, and I didn't want to take away from how powerful it was. I could've reduced its strength in a number of ways, but ultimately, I really like that Virulent Impact is always the best choice. I love the aspect of it where when you see it, you definitely want to take it. Where it defines and changes your run in a meaningful way when it shows up.

To fully fulfill that role, I bumped it up to Legendary, it's currently the only Legendary Amp but it deserves that status. It means that it shows up less often, but it also means I didn't have to reduce the power of it, and it can remain a dominant best pick when it shows up!

It's still Rare in Terra Escalation because it requires the investment of a Talent Point to show u...

Expected Behavior: The swarm of bees from Kharabak to stop emitting a sound after they are gone.

Actual Behavior: If you come into contact with the Kharabak bee swarm the sound that plays with them will never stop until you leave the hunt.

Reproduction Rate: 10/10 happens every time I come into contact with the bee swarm.

System: PC Windows 10

We have a fix for this issue going into 1.9.0! A very annoying one indeed. Makes me think of the Nicholas Cage meme, NOT THE BEEEEES!

Expected Behavior: Weekly Challenges to count Sahvyt dodges and kills.

Actual Behavior: Weekly challenges do not tick up at all when dodging Sahvyt's attacks, or killing him with chainblades. Have not tested the break all parts challenge.

Reproduction Rate: 10/10

I think this may have something to do with Sahvyt counting as Neutral pre-patch. The game doesn't seem to recognize "Shock" Sahvyt as the Sahvyt in the challenges and still wants "Neutral" Sahvyt.
