It might be better to get rid of the logos differentiating systems entirely if you guys are noticing a lot of people being hostile or rude to others not on their system.

Personally I would love to be able to tell who’s on what so I know what I’m crossplaying with, makes it feel more community based that we’re all together regardless of system.

We've not receive many accounts of toxicity at all.

Quite the opposite, folks who play with folks from other platforms report significantly higher enjoyment and have deeper friend groups.

Clarity in the logos is tough because of the trademark laws. Generally if it's something you associated strongly with a platform (like a logo or word) it's almost certainly trademarked and we'd be using it without permission, in that context.

Also for bonus , you guys can search out the early access copy of the game if it still bury deep down of your HDD. Here my location

C:\Program Files\Phoenix Labs\Dauntless\Data\Dauntless

( *ITS NOT GUARANTEE EVERYONE HAVE THE EARLY ACCESS COPY )

More than 3/4 of players won't. :)

Miss that old chonk-y drask. Stared at that start screen for like three years. Then we had the airship screen which never really worked exactly how we wanted it to. Now we're moving back to the original style with a strong motion graphic tied to music.

Expect to see more, newer screens here in the future!

I mean, one good one would be Partners and Mods. Partners are likely going to rarely use it because they have their own flares, but it'd be a nice gesture. I'd like to see it be a founder thing too, maybe to replace the forum badge? But then you still run into the same problem.

After all, if you have kids as your founders or mods, seems like a whoopsie on your part :P

I meant another Flare of similar or different origin that is less phallic. ;)

also happy to hear suggestions on Founder / mod / translators / etc getting more recognition tools that feel special.

So is there any way I could suggest the icon for the other consoles be changed a little? I play on Xbox and I find it hard to differentiate whether the other players are on pc or PS4. My problem might be an isolated case though because I have a pretty garbage tv and maybe I’m just blind lol

I'll talk to the team! Can't promise changes. The constraints are a bit more complex than I'm making them out to be.

I mean, I wouldn't even know how to disclose that as an item for sale to the ESRB and PEGI... "Dick Butt is viral internet character who is a penis whose balls are a butt, within which is a smaller dick-butt. But it's so absurd that it's still totally Teen rated. Please don't make my game Adult Only, I promise it's not Porn"

Naw that's entirely self imposed. It's super off brand and potentially something parents may be unhappy with their kids having. So I decided entirely unilaterally (trust me folks here want to give it to y'all) to keep it to Lobsters only.

Anecdotally, I did get permission to put Dickbutt in the game. So I did.

Probably part of the deal, not allowed to show playstation’s logo on xbox and vice versa

In case this kinda thing ever happens. We can get in a great deal of legal trouble for showing the wrong stuff. Hot Coffee really did a number on the industry.

I can get behind this idea.

We also duck the sound during a big hit from a behemoth to the player in order to increase the overall impact of the hit. Is that what you're referencing?

"Brand new never before seen Behemoth..." "This Behemoth was in the game before but we took him out..."

Danger meter is a reflection of how scared the airship pilot is? When was this ever communicated in game and how does that have any impact on whether or not you can revive your team if when everyone dies the airship captain has to come and get you?

Don't forget that it's an early demo build. Also slash and wound is what it's called in code. I make that mistake a lot. Sorry.

Most hunts, even with an afk, don't last that long. The solution needs to be more nuanced.

This. Also some of the afk reports we investigate show players are not communicating and gathering etc. So a solution needs to also include incentives to communicate and gather on the behemoth.

Jisus and this isn't even their final form, they still can add a lot of stuff: End game graphs, weapon dyes, more behemots, weapons, armors, weapon types, special moves, combos, game modes, customization on characters and so much more.

On it! Team is working hard on new content and fixes!

This.

Matchmaking moves very quickly often.
