Thank you for asking about the pets for me ❤

Which will make more money, having players from when the game started on steam buy elite hunt passes or having current steam players buy all the canisters? Most importantly, which would make the game more exciting? The worldview is so weak that there is little incentive to hunt, and then you have to buy weapons with real money, which is nothing immersive. And on top of that, the current Ramsgate doesn't have the tragic feeling that the world is collapsing. The old one had a better atmosphere.

ah!

Great video! It's interesting to see that some individuals from Phoenix Labs are open to sharing their insights and experiences! Did some people say to you that your face look like Gorden Ramsey a little bit :P I hope its not bordering you that i say that!

As for weapons, there is clearly less flexibility in the build. Before, there were weapons that could be used in very unique ways depending on cell configuration, lanterns, and omnicell combinations, and even if the build was not strong, I could enjoy thinking about the mechanics of it myself. Now it feels cramped, as if I am being dictated how to use the weapons. And I will never forgive them for making The Hunger such a dumb weapon. lol The ice event was frustrating. It would have been nice if the ice had been temporarily melted by the charrog's flame so that it would not slip. Also, I wanted the event to end when the coin acquisition limit was reached.

Nice to hear what is it like to work as Animator developer (series of frozen poses, testing of own battle simulation). I remember when watching development of Stellar Blade that animator was using 3D printed monsters of Naytibas. It kind of helped her when she had this kind of real thing, what to use as a base of animation. I also remember when watching FF14 Live letter that whenever they design new weapon or gear they need to test it with every race that it looks good. So just adding one new weapon might need x times more animations.

Awesome episode, love his answers to the questions and the insight he provided towards animations, also yes, Brent is indeed responsible for the ice lol.

The game is lame now. nothing but straight up pay to win microtransactions.... taking away the base crafting mechanic is straight up dumb. they should have kept that for people who cant afford to pay for every weapon or battle passes constantly. I was actually about to get back into the game and bringing my friend too. So i decided to watch some videos for the game since I havent played since they introduced the glider into the game some years ago. and wow..... see all these youtube videos just makes me shake my head. This game was so much fun.

I played the crap out of this game when it hit PS4 a few years back. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. I am about to get back into it with a friend... shes still on PS4 but we can game together again because of this game. I am hyped and pumped to be jumping back into Dauntless!!

Great discussion! Belden seems like a really humble guy 🙂

I hope the new weapon is a Bow😭

The previous massove update pissed me off came back and started enjoy agai then this has made my grind for nothjng it feels like 😊

Looking forward to this! See you then 😊

As a newer player(last 2 months) I love this update. Not having to use a crap sword with no effects and having weapons to choose from makes the game a lot more fun. I can understand people losing weapons, but its pretty good for newer people to not have to start farming without a good weapon. Also I was incredibly frustrated having to wait several REAL LIFE DAYS to craft a lv 3 cell

2025 it does not work

I think if they just whipped the slot clean and reset everyone to the swamps but keep all the armor and weapon crafting.... everyone would be a lot happier Yea builss are now worse but please dont tell me the glacial builds weren't broken beyond belief

Damn I wanted to play the game after a years and seen this Update. I like the new gameplay but the rest is one of the badest updates I have ever seen. They destroy the game. They really througt this is a good idea? Add the gameplay, new monsters, new Mal and everyone is happy. Monster Hunter Wilds has a hype and Dauntless can bei part of this. But they sleep

My opinion is that the only thing I think made this game fun was that you had to grind for the weapons and everything else.

There are very few if none buying anything in the shop, if they are not making money what you think will happen? Shut down possibly.

Forte labs better spit some of that money in this game or 2025 is the last age of dauntless. A dream and idea ruin...

Very thoughtful commentary. As a veteran switch player, I can say that I'm having fun and willing to use workarounds (like equipping weapon talents on the ship) because of the community that I interact with and the established enjoyment the game brings me. If I were a brand new player coming into this, I think it's pretty fair to say that I would walk away. I wouldn't be willing to get into a game where I couldn't even interact within menus without crashing. Game stability to me is the very top priority.

Like many people, I was incredibly excited for Dauntless awakening, brand new opportunities, new builds, new challenges, but the launch of it was absolutely horrendous. Everything that went wrong, went wrong. Bugs were extremely persistent, performance was not there, incredible bold changes with the monetization, the absolute terrible cell system that prevents early game players to make build or test things out, as well as just becoming a nuisance for an endgame player. Not only did the update add no meaningful content, but the update didn't seem to benefit either side, that being the beginners or veterans. Of course the devs have heard our grievances and are trying to fix some things. I.e giving us more weapon tokens per season, bringing back free platinum in the huntpass, trying to add 1-2 new weapons every 6 weeks, the new legend behemoth for content, etc. Although there are still some aspects like the new build system that probably won't be reverted. As for Weapon tokens, they shrugged me the wrong way when I first heard about them way before the update, and I eventually asked a dev why this happened. Apparently, cosmetics weren't enough monetization for the game, which is why they resorted to time gating the weapons with a currency you can buy. I'm sure dauntless will be able to recover, but I genuinely feel like it'll take a year, maybe even more.

Please Pheonix labe! Take note! We love our game, and would hate to lose it forever. Lots of great ideas in this video which would make the world of difference. Ps- loves the lord of the rings reference 😂😂

It's about time someone made a proper video on how to fix dauntless. All everyone else is doing is moaning and saying dead game, (even thought they weren't playing before the Awakening update anyway) Thank you for your thoughts. I really agree with the weapon tokens, and a new weapon type would make a huge difference

As someone who lost everything from this update, and vented my anger through steam, I really cant argue with your thoughts. You make so many good points, and though I wish they would just U-turn, I know that wont happen. What you say here I think they could definitely do, and It would be enough for me to return.

It's just really boring for me, I want to use my axe and hammers, I don't want to have to pick a different weapon entirely to get an element bonus. Besides that, the social menu blinks like CRAZY when I open it. I have sent in SO many big reports, it's almost impossible to accept invites, and send invites. It is so annoying. I also really, REALLY miss my skullforge. It wasn't meta, sure, but I loved it for my play style. I made a build to ignore being staggered, and continuously do the overhead chops.

😂 like your optimism you are my informant for this game. I check your videos to see if dauntless has made positive changes I hope they do manage to make a comeback.

Great video, I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't mind the cells being destroyed, but the cells being carried over between builds is too restrictive. The weapon tokens and cannisters should be much cheaper. One of the most important thing is to have cosmetics on the hunt pass and some cosmetic rewards for pre-awakening players.

Thank you for Weapon Tokens and other info! Nice Lord of the Rings moment 🙂

Yea... This is probably th best summary of Dauntless awakening, and most definitely includes the best recommendations for the devs to fix things. I hope they watch this and take it om board as i also worry about the future of yhe game. Such a great video all in all.

Great video like always. Is correct have a polite way to talk about that, without any insane hanger ( sometime too much ), and talk like a civil people we are

Use the ps and xbox don't use stream to look at things and the game play change effected the game so there for steam being new again with new players not much to Go of and yer your 100% right get on the u turn and bring back middle man and slowly change things don't jump in the deep and think everything will be fine take your time and change things slowly and there would of been a better outcome

Great discussion, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Cheerless Charogg ice was a bug! 😂 I'm also finding the inability of changing cells in different builds annoying and hope that our constructive feedback is taken onboard.

Wow.. Spending $10000 on one game sounds insane...

I fee Luke they need to update the friendship crown if find it stupid that only on friend gets it whilst the other does not this should work differently to how it does currently

Thank You for new info!

They can update the game as much as they want to. If that greedy store doesn't change, I won't be playing it. Main reason, why I play Minecraft Java and not Minecraft Bedrock...
