Anything escalations in the works?
Actually, yes! It's very, very early, but we're brainstorming something...
More information in the future :)

Are there any plans on optimization passes? The game has been steadily going down in performance over the last few months especially and it's definitely not a personal hardware issue.
Yes, we are always looking for ways to optimize the experience. We're looking into it and always measuring the data!
Are there still plans for new weapons?
Yes! Still have some refreshes we want to do, but then... something new.
I've heard that you guys like to see what fans want/request and the more the merrier; that motivates you to go back to a feature/consider a feature (example Trials Leaderboard on website and maybe also Thunderdeep) as I understood it. Then how come you've never addressed (at least from what I've seen) about more loadout slots despite that's a heavily requested thing? What's your thoughts about it?
We usually look at how many times we see it requested and weigh that against our interpretation of the system. Like, we knew a lot of players were asking to TD Drask AND we agreed that yes, it was important and needed a refresh.
When u add cooking to the game? From behe parts :>
Welcome to WIL'S GRUB HUB WHERE ALL THE GRUB IS BREWED IN A TUB
Since thunderdeep has its own armor, will it be guranteed to spawn on an island at some point to ease the grind?
Thunderdeep will spawn on Cape Fury in 1.7.2 outside of the event, so this will ease the grind.
Dear Dauntless Dev Team, do you ever intend on adding any more Behemoth to the game that are not Legendary or Varients? Also, do you plan on adding more weapons?
Yes! We want to add various Behemoths. Some won't be Legendary or Variants.
Any chance of putting controller remapping functionality into the game for Switch/Playstation/Xbox?
Changing button mapping for a controller in the console's system itself doesn't work for a whole bunch of reasons. Letting people remap controllers ingame would greatly increase Dauntless' accessibility.
We are investigating remapping right now and seeing if it's possible. There's also talk of other control scheme layouts if we can't do a full remap system.
Stay tuned!
Can we hope to see Umbral & Radiant Lantern and Elemental Proc. for both soon? So we finally get a Proc and Lantern for each Element?
I heard talk of this the other day, but it's not locked in work at this time. We would love to get these in!
Why opening hunt submenu freezes game for more than a second?
Performance is different on each platform. The game is loading all the available hunts for you.
Any plans on adding new skeletons for behemoths?
The next Behemoth will share a rig with others, but yes, we will add more unique rigs in the future.
Do we get Top 5 trials cosmetics in the near future?
We don't have any planned at the moment, but we're hearing a lot of players asking for this!
this is another question. About the new behemoth can you give us some info on it? (how it acts/looks, its file name, out of 1-10 how cool is the amour gonna be, etc)
file name
Excuse me? lol
It's AMA time!
We'll be here between 2PM PT to 3PM PT to answer as many questions as we can about Dauntless.
Everything's on the table from art, design, lore, you name it!
Important!
Please keep it to one concise question per comment. This makes it much easier for our developers to answer them one by one.
External link →We will be putting future State of Dauntless posts on our website from now on. Sometimes, they will come to Reddit first so we can localize them, but future posts will all end up there.
Enjoy!
Anyone have more info on this? Does it happen on all maps or just this one?
Any info will help us repro :)
Hey everyone,
We're currently looking into how these cheaters are getting through our anticheat software. For now, we've been banning them as they pop up. The previous players who did this in the prior weeks have already been banned, and this one is up next.
This will be case by case until we figure out a fix for the anticheat software, but I assure you, these players are being removed and banned from Dauntless.
We've been talking about more ways to communicate our stories to our players. Ideally, we'd like to get it into the world itself. Lore nodes, bits of environments that have a story, NPCS on islands (maybe), and gameplay that tells a story itself. The next HG Island is a step in this direction, and we hope you like it.
I had a great time writing the latest short stories that lived on our blog. The tricky bit is trying to balance the amount of work that goes into these. Writing is low cost, but graphics are the tricky bit. Illustrations can be great. Comics are a step up from that. Cinematics are the most expensive and usually need to be outsourced. I'm going to be measuring the hits on these latest stories and coming up with more in the future. They're a lot of fun to write and I want to do more!
Let me know what you'd like to see in future short stories!
A classic bug we'll probably never fix...
