I just got back on the game after not playing it for like four years. Good Lord, I have quite a bit to catch up on, but I still had everything I needed for an awesome build. I'm excited for the update.
Can confirm, bounties are still around in Awakening. They still give hunt pass xp and they also grant aetherite, which is basically a stored xp item you can use to level your weapons faster. Neat thing with that is, you can do all your bounties with one weapon, and then use the aetherite to level a different one. You also get the stuff from Escalations.
The axe is by far the most fun weapon in the game, imo. Knocking a behemoth out of an attack by hurling your axe at it is one of the most satisfying things ever.
Whilst everyone was saying their goodbyes and doing last minute things as a farewell, I've been over here not really caring about any of it as long as I can obtain enough legacy progression and currencies to get me through the rework. Which is gonna be difficult to get used to since their focus on perks is taking a major shift to the side, holding only 1 or 2 activated perks at one time vs the 6-8 perks in this version. That's what kept bringing me back to the game was the RPG number crunching, managing crit chance and damage, measuring attack speed gains and core damage. But now pretty much all of that is gone and I'm not entirely sure what the focus of a build actually is anymore.
I just got back on the game after a few years to warm up a bit, so I'm not sure how bad it's gonna be. I know they talked about reworking the armor system, but that seems like a really sensitive area to overhaul. I really hope it turns out well, but I'm skeptical.
I will also get back to dauntless once its out on steam soon, I really forget how much fun I had playing dauntless really underappreciated but hopefully Steam launch sparks a new life into this
Ig I’ll return to dauntless. I need to get every weapon level 10. I’m a sword main. I think only reforge 11 or so. Ik that isn’t a lot tho. But Ty ohdough. You’ve restored my faith in this game
I simply don't see myself using chainblades unless they get another rework. I've seen folks with 300 reforges on axe and this was close to a year ago at this point
We all knew he'd return. Let's be real. Anytime a content creator says they are done with a game take that statement with a grain of salt and expect them to return in the future. Most never stick to the commitment of abandoning a game that they put hours and hours on
Man, Reforged was the absolute death of this game. I have 560 total hours logged into Dauntless and over 540 of that was probably all pre Reforged, and less than 20 was post Reforged. I won't be picking the game up again, but will at least be checking the new gear system out when it hits. Hopefully Phoenix Labs made a better system this time around that will at least let them pick up more numbers again. The game was an amazing F2P alternative to Monster Hunter before Reforged killed it off.
Is dauntless fun F2P? I played it for a bit ages ago and had fun, surprised I liked the hammer most. Worth getting back into? Not got many go-to games atm
Gonna guess the Behemoth that gets most people might be something like Phaelanx or Bloodshot. Though the Behemoth that gets me the most is Stormclaw and especially its variant, which for all I care can go die in a fire.
I know someone already said this in the comments, but i think it'd be good if you checked what's coming in the awakening patch. Some of it is rather controversial.
i hate Shrike now i wear them and use a sword made from them. Ran into Phaelanx now I hate metal owlbear more, will bonk it with sword in spite of Ohdough scoffing at using sword.
@@OhDough i too scoff at shrike sword made from my foes who i hate most, now the fire metal shrike my new foe and fear crying my only hope in overcoming it.
Ohdough returning to dauntless was not on my bingo card
🎉 BRUH me either I’m kinda hyped to see he’s coming back!!!
Rip Reforge you won't be missed 🙏

Bounties weren't that bad tbh, they were a nice little boost to grinding
Whoah, this was unexpected. Cool to see Dauntless gameplay from you again.
axe is the undisputed champion for speedrunning reforges
The axe is by far the most fun weapon in the game, imo. Knocking a behemoth out of an attack by hurling your axe at it is one of the most satisfying things ever.
Mythical Ohdough vid of Dauntless.
Nice to see you revisit this game in prep of the update.
Looking forward to the update, been itching to play some more Dauntless. Glad to see the GOAT back at it.
OhDough on Dauntless in 2024? that is fucking NUTS

Oh back on this game is probably the best thing they can have to get eyes on this game again.
after TheMrTrails back to dauntless and now is ohdough. i was really think about it to comeback too
I came back after 2 years too
*Alas, he's returned. To be granted Audience once more.*
I consider Alyra super annoying, first place.
Elden ring reference 🗡️
oh shit dauntless guy is back
Old man back happy to see you again
OHDOUGH!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 THAT means you coming Back?! Don’t flaunt the vids if you’re not gonna give it up!! 😂😂
Will you review the absolute trainwreck of an update they're about to roll out ?
I just got back on the game after a few years to warm up a bit, so I'm not sure how bad it's gonna be. I know they talked about reworking the armor system, but that seems like a really sensitive area to overhaul. I really hope it turns out well, but I'm skeptical.
@@Ima9ineBreak3r There are some rather controversial changes to monetization coming to the update
@@henrytalley3739 oh snap. That almost never goes over well.
Welcome Back from one Doug to another
ohdough back in dauntless? no way
I will also get back to dauntless once its out on steam soon, I really forget how much fun I had playing dauntless really underappreciated but hopefully Steam launch sparks a new life into this

Gratz. Good to see you back.
met a guy today who had lvl 172 reforged chainblades...
no, that was not a typo
I simply don't see myself using chainblades unless they get another rework. I've seen folks with 300 reforges on axe and this was close to a year ago at this point
my friend has got 3k reforges on hammer 😂
The GOAT is back
Never thought this day would come
Thank goodness
gooD to see you Back Bro !!!!!!
finally after 2 years im going to add to my 1.500 hours of FKIN DAUNTLESS!!!
Dough thank you for coming back 😭❤️
what you think of awakening? bad or good for the game? revive or kill.
BRO IS RETURNING TO DAUNTLESS FOR THE AWAKENING PATCH. LETS FRICKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We all knew he'd return. Let's be real. Anytime a content creator says they are done with a game take that statement with a grain of salt and expect them to return in the future. Most never stick to the commitment of abandoning a game that they put hours and hours on
I never said I wouldn't play the game again though.
4:16 prolly shroud also the return was not expected

god dang this game has a lot of particle effects compared to launch
what made you pick this up again?
Is dauntless fun F2P? I played it for a bit ages ago and had fun, surprised I liked the hammer most. Worth getting back into? Not got many go-to games atm
it's fun
yeah that was really fun to watch for some reason
Congrats
look who came crawling back
niceee
also ı am dumb i thouth it was like 70 reforges on all of the weapons
but damn
At first, you had to get 10 reforges per weapon, but then they changed it to have 70 reforges in total since not everyone plays all the weapons.
hes back
update tomorrow let’s gooooo
What's new in dauntless?
Gonna guess the Behemoth that gets most people might be something like Phaelanx or Bloodshot.
Though the Behemoth that gets me the most is Stormclaw and especially its variant, which for all I care can go die in a fire.
why is the 70th reforge important to have before the next patch?
you get a crown for having 70 total reforges, you also get one for having a single reforge
@@OhDough It's not one for a single reforge, it's one reforge per weapon class.
Dough I just recently got into dauntless and I use axe, how do I build for big damage like that??
I built for tempest damage not axe damage.
use the cells and gear I had to do the same damage.
Why does everybody says the final reforge?
I did all the krolachi exile quests and I got the body armor’s but I don’t see them in my inventory , does anyone know why ?
Well well well
are we back
we are so back???
❤
What to spend my ether heart on ?
Some OhDough fortnite would be fun to watch
Dough coming back??!
Dauntless guy...

I scoffed at shrike sword. You've much to learn young slayer
@@OhDough i too scoff at shrike sword made from my foes who i hate most, now the fire metal shrike my new foe and fear crying my only hope in overcoming it.
I thought Dauntless was dead 💀
