I loved the behemoth draw stream!! Especially creating the Crudge with the developers. Is it possible to have another one in the near future even though you guys are improving the current systems?
That was so much fun! And it seemed like the community really loved it, too. We'd love to do more like that, maybe for other parts of the game as well. We'll let you know as soon as they're planned :)
Very cool. Who came up with the name Alrya? Is it a creation of an ancient spellcaster or wizard?
It's a mix of Lyric and Lyra (the constellation) -- we usually come up with names as a group. It's a really fun process!
I got a few if someone has the time…
Will we ever see Shock Variants? and if so can they PLEASE be first time Variants. Like Shrowd, Rifty, Valomyr, etc)
No offence to the creators, but Alyra’s Moveset is very small and reused ALOT of moves from elsewhere in the game, is there a chance we can see Alyra’s Moveset broadened so I’m not dodging tail sweeps for the entire fight?
Will the Behemoths Refreshes include all of them (over a span of time) or only ones you see having major issues?
An answer for any of these would be greatly appreciated
So an AMA of a released content?
i guess not much i can ask about except WHY YOU TROLLED US WITH THE FISH DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kidding it was funny
hehe gotcha!
I feel that Dauntless is in a good place right now with Radiant Escalation added. Now you will be putting new content on the back burner and focus on bugs and improving systems?
This summer is all about improvements to existing systems and game modes. Plus, we're taking a good hard look at Behemoths in general, rebalancing, fixing long-standing issues, re-evaluating crafting etc. We want to get everything up to the quality y'all expect before we dive in to the brand new stuff this winter.
Since Alyra can use multiple elements is it possible that there can be new or already existing behemoths using multiple elements. Like a Drask with lighting and fire?
It's totally possible. We want to be careful not to mess with the element system too much -- since slayers bring loadouts that work for the element they're fighting. But a little bit to mix it up has turned out to be really fun!
If you could add 1 feature to the game, no matter how far fetched it sounds, what would you choose? Doesn't need to be a plan, can even be a pipe dream. Just want to hear what the developers have in their minds.
Customizable airships you can fly to explore new islands! And aerial airship combat!
What will happen to Neutral behemoths and Neutral weapons in the future?
What would you like to see happen? We've talked about removing the element and reworking the neutral behemoths to take on an element. But I do like having some basic Behemoths that help the elemental ones feel special.
Are there plans to introduce a new Umbral behemorh with it's own armor set? As it is the element with the least armor sets (3 total, while Terra has 4, Shock has 6 and all the others have 5)
We're always looking at the elements as we make new Behemoths / add armour sets to try and find a balance. And then we also look at the concepts the team is exploring and what we're excited to make.
So yes - at some point in the future I'd expect more armour sets for all of the elements!
What are the plans for guilds? Will there be events that can take place? I think a mode where 2 guilds get put on an island and have to slay as many behemoths as they can.
Ahhhh guilds! We have talked many times over here about guild content, guild missions, guild competitions, guild airships - all kinds of things. Currently, it hasn't bubbled up to the very top of our list. But I would expect us to get there eventually. Probably something to take a look at after we've completed the next mode, but can't guarantee right now!
what behemoths could alyra canonically beat
lesser drask
would alyra give me a magic glyph weapon for a scooby snack
Yes
Can I go on quest with Ramsgate NPCs? Like hunt behemoths with Kat for a mission or with Janek Zai?
There was once an event where Linnea Silver would pop in and help hunt on a few islands. She was searching for the Urska. Then she'd hop away...
... a couple players reported a cheater called "Linnea Silver" who was moving too fast.
"RNG"
happens
It's certainly more likely in Radiant!
Lightbound Boreus when?
Very soon :D
Here's a few questions:
- How long is it expected to take to release the new hunt mode that's in the works?
- I hear that the main priorities are the new hunt mode and behemoth refreshes. What are the priorities after those two items?
- Will there be any plans for community-driven events? (e.g during Umbral escalation before new Ramsgate)
We're aiming to have the new mode ready in the winter. Behemoth improvements should come much earlier - this summer, but they'll be piece by piece.
We love the community events, I think we can count on seeing some more of those!
Second question is this,
At endgame, I have a ton of parts saved up from behemoths I dont even actively hunt. Will there ever be a use for these?
Personally, I was thinking of some sort of custom island, base or ship that we could use the parts in to effect behemoths and environmental factors that you would encounter on the island.
But that's obviously too big of a task, so will we be able to trade parts with other players or NPC's for rams/tonics/different parts at some point?
Yes there will :)
The design team is currently working on a way to use those extra parts.
If you can, even in vague detail, explain the direction the game is going to take after radiant escalation. How far into the future is planned when it comes to new behemoths and game modes?
Hiya! We have a very good idea of what's coming up this summer (it's all about foundational improvements to core things like Behemoths and existing modes - addressing feedback etc) and we have a pretty good idea of what's coming up later in the year (looking at new game mode, brand new Behemoth inspired by the community concept stream).
As we get further into next year, we know that there will always be Behemoths added on a regular basis, and we have a long list of things we'd like to get to, but the exact shape they'll take is a little fuzzier.
Thanks for reporting everyone! We're looking into this one!
Love this!!
