I'll just piggyback here since I held a conversation about epicness of Exotics on Discord recently. I think Dauntless could milk the whole idea of exotics a lot more, and make it actually feel amazing.

This would be achieved in three steps:

1. Make sure Exotics actually feel Epic and unique. Helmets are good at it, but with weapons only Twin Suns feel this way. Molten Edict used to, when it had lava pools.
2. Remove Exotics as a drop, from the Store and from Trials
3. Create a "challenge list" or a mini-storyline for each exotic. Make people work for it, with a clear goal and maybe some small write-up. Let it be something a bit more exciting than Moyra being all "yo dawg, I found me momma's old notez". I know the exotic break-part were meant to be that, but... they no longer feel like they live up to the level of care the rest of the game does.
4. Profit

Obviously, this is not something that can be developed soon, but I think long...

Hey, here are some possibilities that would allow us to use more things and for more to be spent at the store:

• Pylons are mini-banners, small flags; symbol is your banner icon, colour is according to type of pylon.
• Arrivals, banners, flares and emote should be tied to loadouts, not the account itself.
• Have players be able to use certain rolling emotes (the ones that cycle around) on the airship, set to the loadouts.
• Instead of the "random arrival" option, make it "random arrival from a list you choose".
• Add one dye area to certain weapons, maybe just the aether glow bits or the handle wraps.
• Give the option to switch on or off the Quick Chat and Quick Emote field, or substitute them for a fifth and sixth emote.
• Since the Lantern and Special buttons do nothing in Ramsgate, could they not be used for a second and third wheel of emotes? It would make time in the town more fun!
• Create emotes that interac...

Hiya Jordan. Even though it seems I’m late to the party (I was asleep, ha!), I’m glad PXL is speaking out about the matter: very much appreciated! That’s why I’d like to throw in my 2 cents as well, as I’m one of those Slayers who spoke out loudly about this matter, also in my own post here.

I’ll sum up what I think and what my hopes are for what this game will direct towards to: I hope for both F2P and paying Slayers to get something out of a HP that’s remotely relevant to a season’s theme. Sure, full platinum back and a Store set is great, but it has nothing to do with the HP’s seasonal theme. Also, I’m convinced that both aren’t here to stay, resulting in an empty Free track on the HP. I think both F2P and paying players should enjoy it.

Like Meirnon for example said, I too won’t mind havin...

i think it'd be a nice feature to have elite hunt passes not expire, but still rotate.

as in, if one buys elite hunt pass, it's not going to expire simply because they couldn't play as much.

so when we're doing bounties, maybe a little toggle option for which hunt pass the XP goes toward would work.

i think this simply allows a whole swath of players to feel better about buying hunt pass without the worry of missing out on all the items even after they put in some money.

and because hunt pass would still rotate, as it already does, the majority of players would be unaffected by this change simply because they already finish hunt passes early enough.

^{(let's pretend we're in an actual clothing store... every month or so they offer a new club deal: if you purchase a 10 dollar club membership, you get 30 socks! every hour that you're in the store, you get one of those socks! uh oh, you could only be at the store for 13 hou...}

Hi Jordan! Jordan here! We met in person at PAX West, 2019! I was in line at the Dauntless booth wearing purple shorts and a vaporwave crop top, and you told me that I would probably enjoy a hunt pass that was coming up soon, which I'm sure was referring to the Aetherpunk pass. I figured I'd add my two cents here.

As one of those "handful of players" (would love to know an actual estimate for this rather than an incredibly vague statement) who bought the Ostian armor set this year, this misses the mark. As many others have said, this feels bad both for F2P AND Elite players. With your current setup, F2P players gain little-to-no ability to actually participate in the seasonal experience without a seasonal armor set in the free pass. Meanwhile, players who HAVE bought the Ostian armor set see that this armor set that they chose to spend money on is now given away for free to all players. And yes, I do say All, because it is very easy to finish a huntpass even with just the d...

Thank you so much for taking the time to address these issues, especially just a few hours after I made my own post about this topic. I'm really grateful to see the Devs give this level of care to their community, which is something very much unheard of in the current industry.

However

We need to address the facts, and I must say that some of the things here don't really give me much security. The way I see this, you guys still plan to essentially keep seasonal cosmetics outside of the free track, which is exactly the problem most of us have been complaining about, instead of just refunds. This is where the real issue lies, and I'm afraid that here you're essentially saying that the practice of keeping F2P players from partaking in the cosmetic season will stay very much alive and kicking for some time to come. Please, don't. It'd be much if one of the two unique sets is placed at the last level of the Free track. This way, everyone can get a tangi...

I think the majority of criticism has the nuance that we generally don't mind that old store armor is appearing on the pass - we just feel that it's misplaced on WHERE you're getting it.

Putting it on the elite pass would be a different story because at least then you're "paying into" it. I think what's really telling in this regard is that had the store armor just not been on the hunt pass at all there would have been a less negative reaction.

And it knocking themed armor off the free pass feels bad for players who do want to engage with the fantasy of the season but might not have the spare cash to throw around at it - and I say this as someone who is blessed enough to have had the money to buy every hunt pass (having only skipped season 2, and later bought its armor a la carte for twice its price).

For a lot of players, that goal of a cool seasonal armor is the incentive to finish the pass. I don't think I've ever felt like my value off ...

I'm actually in the Ostian armour mostly, gloves are too bulky though, so they're swapped out for Shrikes. Other set is based around the barbarian armour. My main cosmetic issue is with the "personality" system, so much of that needs to be included per loadout and not universal, arrivals and emotes primarily, but also banner, flare, hair style, dye, tats, makeup...

there's so much good stuff in there, but I rarely use it because I can't be bothered switching them just because I just picked up a bounty that means I want to switch from my celestial themed pike to by barbarian themed sword build.

I am going to give you an idea, if we can't be refunded of platinium, how about making a full armor set, that would be free only for those who bought the ostian armor? Or maybe that one unknown armor we saw in the alchemy of war trailer...

I would say my main problem is with style and aesthetics. I would have no problem buying something that looks like an epic slayer wearing armor that looks like armor instead of cartoonish cosplay. My current transmog is something that fits what I expected my character to look like on mid game (not late game as is right not), someone wearing a badass slayer outfit and not an ANIME ALCHEMIST COSPLAY as the alchemancer outfit looks like (in time, I am not saying that is bad, it's just not my cup of tea).

For me i didnt mind armors after time being free due to the age of it. The major issue for me is that armors and weapon Blueprints are being added to the huntpass with no reward for it. Armors ok fine ill live the major issue is what does a F2p or P2p person get if they already have it? Vault coins isnt much since we get the same sets too often and are at large prices. Plat is actually backwards because you dont need to refund plat back since it cost the company money and time when you are giving change for handouts. Potions and other in game farmable items? No. I rather you guys actually give something else then just plat. As for the elephant in the room for weapon blue prints. Regardless or not they are hard to farm when you gave the hunger as a reward it made me feel abit let down that a weapon that is farmable from a worthy behemoth can be bought and kinda devalues the behemoth itself. I say this because the gameplay loop was and still is small today and even if its elite why a...

As a huge fan of dauntless, :)

Y'all have a difficult load to balance, and although y'all sometimes fall short, y'all still bring in wonderful and fun things into the game, and usually fix the things y'all break :P
