Yooo!!!! This is beautiful

WHOAAAA THIS IS AWESOME
Hey! We have decided to remove aethersparks from the store entirely. Full post here!
Glad to see the game is moving in the right direction, I have a lot of hope for the future!
Us too!! Thank you!
Shouldn't this type of communication come in the roadmaps?
I believe roadmaps are kind of losing their purpose of being with the slow updates and 80% being things that are not longer coming and 20% things that we already now are on their way like huntpasses and another elemental escalation.
Posts like this focused on one topic probably make more sense than the current roadmaps.
We are actually revisting the idea of the roadmap and are looking into how to make it better for everyone <3 We are thinking of creating a more-frequently-updated roadmap (maybe with more nuanced updates?) + these state of Dauntless threads in order to keep the community in the loop around how we are thinking and what we are focused on. Expect more info on that in the coming few weeks!
I enjoy your team talking about monetization. I think a lot of players look past the fact that it's a free to play game, it's up to the player if they wana spend platinum. But it is not pay to win.
I'm one of the schmucks that spend a lot of money on platinum cause I like to buy anything new. And that's my choice. But does it mean I'm better than someone who hasn't spent anything? No. I just like to think I look cooler lol
it's a free to play game, it's up to the player if they wana spend platinum. But it is not pay to win.
That's exacty what we are going for! And I am glad you are lookin cool in your cosmetics ;)
As a beta player, dauntless has slowly started to burn out on me but seeing the devs team slowly start to show and explain the path the game is going towards hypes me up a bit again.
glad to go down the dauntless road with yall <3
Thank you for sticking with us! We are glad to be on this road with you, too <3
I like this 👍 as both a free to play and pay to play depending on what is it, I like that there will be clear options to grind out what we want, as I find grinding things out give more satisfaction than buying it
<3
Whoa, I'm in love
Hi, you mean sparks will be buffed in 1.5.4 in addition to the upcoming 1.5.3 buff ?
Oh sorry, I meant buffed in 1.5.3*! Getting ahead of myself
First off, thank you for taking the time to write this. It's really cool that you've been with us since ninjas (spring 2019 <3)!
My intent isn't to go blow for blow with each thing you said, but I do want to make sure to clarify some things since I am seeing some misconceptions in here. We are an experimental company, and our goal is to keep creating a fun game that players can choose to spend money in if they want to, never a cash grab.
Event passes: For context, we weren't sure what price point to put event passes at, so we started with a large price range (multiple passes priced from low to high) so that we could understand through player behaviour and feedback which price felt the best for players. We didn't do a great job of surfacing this info back to the community, and we will do better on that front. This is a constant learning experience, and will keep tweaking the prices as we learn.
Progression: We have had a lot of really great convos internal...
Read moreCan you also remind the team we need a way to hunt specific behemoths?
It's annoying having to replay escalations in order to find a specific behemoth as it is faster than actually searching on hunting grounds. Right now i have to do 250k dmg to flame rezakiri and i have to spam fire escalations as i am guaranteed to get one.
Will pass this on for sure
Hello BunHead !
If I can, I also wrote something about guilds, let me put it here : https://www.reddit.com/r/dauntless/comments/kvvkx0/guilds_feedbacks_on_an_important_and_neglected/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Thanks so much <3 that's a great post. We are looking at guild improvements, and i will definitely bring that thread up again!!
OMFG
I can promise you that we love Dauntless, and we are taking all of the feedback to heart.
First off: We never want it to feel that we are "squeezing more money" out of the playerbase EVER. That's not how we think about games or commerce at all. Our goal is ALWAYS to make a game that players love and choose to spend money in because they want to. We experiment with offers, as we do with everything in our game, but all of those experiments are to hone in on new things players feel joy in purchasing.
As far as bugs go: Now that we have shipped Reforged we are working on some longstanding community bugs and will have quite a few of them fixed in the next few patches (such as Val's horn being unbreakable, tonics for rams, Agarus' animations, etc.) and we are hunting down the Chain Blades bugs (especially the one where you hit invisible walls). Reforged involved a massive amount of effort, and now that it's in your hands we are reacting to the feedback around i...
Read moreQuick story: I was a newer player, level 30ish, starting to really get into Dauntless. Spent a little money. I was getting my whole friend/family group to start playing also. Then Reforged happened, tried it a couple times, and none of us touched the game again. The end :(
What do you wish was different?
Similar story here but not a new player, veteran introducing other players to the game, having fun for a few months then we all quit a couple days after reforged dropped.
Did you find Reforging itself to be your main complaint, or something else?
AHHH
This would be terrifying omg
There is a lot to take in here, and I really appreciate you writing it all out.
I have a question specifically about guilds for you -- what do you feel is missing from guilds that you wish we had in Dauntless?
Make behemoth variant Lanterns That's a super cool idea :D
Looking cool does not necessarily equal good player btw. I know this is tongue in cheek, but I am curious -- what sort of cosmetics do you like (if any), and are there any that you would want (whether they are in the game already or just an idea)?
Trials. Have brackets for each weapon and then overall fastest time and award more Gilded Marks for placing in the Top 100(s) and if we keep getting better times, give us more gilded ones Super cool ideas, we are working on the trials rework and are in design phase for it, will pass both of these on
