Had all swords and most axes powersurged, as well as a ton of other weapons. Almost all armor powersurged as well. This was clearly an attempt to make sure new players had a lot to grind for, while veteran players got back into it. We didn't even get enough materials to get a single weapon to level 60. This is beyond outrageous. For the reforged update, the devs tried giving us what we lost back in an attempt to show us that they respected our old time investment. This time around there was no respect shown whatsoever.
I had every weapon in the game I started since the game came out I had over 70 prestiged on all categories of weapons builds for each one of the weapon categories just for the after the updated to be useless
My beautiful shield tank build got demolished, and now i hit like a baby my favorite axe got stole, now only a transmog, all carefully designed behemoth themed items were ripped from the game, this was a great loss
Console beta tester here, the Pay 2 Win Elements and loot boxes killed it for me I absolutely can't believe the way they are trying to milk the playerbase
Looking at dauntless right now makes me think of "it's always sunny in Philadelphia" when he ice skates and immediately slips and knocks himself while dreaming he did amazing.
"Hmmm... The sudden change to that model sounds fishy... Almost like what happens when a Chinese company like Tencent gets their grubby hands on a game... Lemme dig for a sec." *finds out that Phoenix Labs was bought in secrecy in 2023 by a Blockchain company called "Forte"* "... Oh God, it's much worse than I thought."
I think what they mean by reseting the progress is the loss of their maxed out weapons and builds. I lost my fave war pikes and the two builds I had built around it. The cells I had used are no longer available and others cannot even be used together no more. I haven't been with Dauntless since the very begining but I did fall in love with it and I spent exhausting amount of hours playing. My builts were specific for Heroic Escas and Trials and the other for farming on Blazeworks. I was literally looking forward to the weekly Heroics, to challenging myself and improving my skills. There's a few Behemots I absolutely hated as I struggled to chase them around the combat arena to even make a hit like the Bloodshot Shrowd or Flameborn Rezakiri but I was dedicated. I have even completed the Unseen Nevermore quest, to which I cried on the inside as I failed time over time again and again until I finally made it. To say that I can no longer participate in what I loved most about Dauntless is what pains me most. The 60 Peerless Aetherites are only enough to max out one weapon, so what's the point of having two when you can't even mac out both to begin with. To be able to max out my new builds and weapons so that I could go back to doing Heroics is going to take me at least a couple of weeks. This is where I feel I have been reset to zero, it's not about the Slayer Path but about what they permanently took away from the builds and weapons. All the reforges done were supposed to have a nice compensation in the Awekening and all we got are just two crowns that don't even have any perks, just the cosmetic. Had I known. I wouldn't even bother with the reforges. Then they took away the XP from the Bounties and only gave the Aetherites instead and not only that, you'd think they'd give you Dull on Bronze, Shining on Silver and Peerless on Gold... Ah nope! You get the Dull on Bronze and Silver and only Shining on Gold. The cells cannot be removed unless you destroy them. The amount of bugs that are constantly affecting the game is ridiculous, it keeps crashing frequently, the Behemots are super OP on the Hunting Grounds and you get little to no XP for all that struggle. Alyra is constantly teleporting outside of the combat zone and up high where you can't even reach her and the list goes on and on. They just turned this update into a massive money pit so if you want to progress to somewhat what you had, you either sacrifice another couple of weeks or you spend a fortune in the store to speed it up. Both options completely unfair to the veteran players. As for me, I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and a fair chance to warm up to it. I have spent the whole weekend playing it but no, no matter how or where I look at, Dauntless is absolutely dead to me now too.
As one of the people who did not really give the new changes a massive chance ill explain why. I logged in, all my armor was gone, my builds were completely destroyed. More importantly, when i tried to recreate even a small part of my build with my current armor, i couldnt even make anything remotely playable. Basically I can only get 2 perks even activated (if its not activated you get zero benefit). If i already have 6 different pieces of armor in EACH armor class maxed out, huge amounts of cells already made etc....the fact that I cant even get a single viable build working...is rediculous. It really is. If i could at least get a decent build setup I would work with it. I was relatively annoyed that my exotic helmets were gone, but If i could get the same style of abilities out of something else I would be OK with it. The real annoyance here for people is 1. We dont like to lose things, and this feels like losing lots of things, whether thats accurate or not it FEELS like we LOST a TON. 2. We lost a massive amount of customizability in builds. Huge. you have a huge amount less customizability. 3. I refuse to buy weapons for real money, its disgusting.
i redownloaded from PS4 to PS5 and was stripped to a greenhorn account (literally forced to play the turotials) that alone was enough to make me turn my back on the game)
Can't bring myself to uninstall it, But I'm done. my gear is all gone, the game is pay-to-play now, and the heart of the game is dead. RIP dauntless, genuinely. I will miss you dearly.
I dont give a shit about giving the game a chance if it immediately strips away all my hard work and locks them behind paywalls man, if you could craft the weapons again sure i probably would have gave it a shot but after logging on and going from having all the axes maxed out to only having the twin suns and a the molten hammer is a fucking slap on the face. Then only for that slap to be turned into a punch when i go into the cell menu and find not only have all the cells been simplified to 1 per cell they have also destroyed build diversity completely. This is coming from someone who kinda liked reforged but come the fuck on man, rule number one of a fucking hunting game is to craft gear from the loot of the bosses.
For the game, I'd like the new weapon and armor upgrading, but I'm not happy that they pretty much deleted all my weapons and put them behind the paywall and pretty much won't allow me to upgrade my armor until I unlock new islands after doing the " main quest" And besides that is that the behemoths keep glitching and some of them glitch into the ground some glitch into the air and I can't even hit them. Also, sometimes I'm getting hit by behemoth and or other things who aren't even near me
I enjoyed dauntless but with the loss of being able to craft weapons from the behemoths we fought I don’t really want to have to pay for new weapons with such a slow grind for leveling up every single weapon individually is just not an enjoyable experience and really makes me sad that they have killed the main draw for me to play their game.
@@matthewcharles9813 the only thing they had back then was that monhun was still console exclusive but then again they DID sign with the marketing blackhole that is Epic Games store so when MH did release on PC, it was already done by then
I used to play it for a while when it was released on switch, but the weapons that is crafted lacking in difference in stats was a turn off. It was all just elemental +20% or elemental -20% dmg.
Dauntless is dead now. If coming back after not playing for a year for the new update only to find all my progress has been wiped, proper builds have been all but removed, bugs have resurfaced with friends, loot boxes are here, hunt passes don't pay for themselves, and "new" weapons (old weapons with other/old abilities tacked on and given a new skin) are locked behind a paywall unless you wanna spend two seasons to earn the currency to buy them makes me a "whiney toddler" then so be it. Why should I bother to give them any good favor when this is like the fourth time they've rebooted the game while demanding we restart our progress? Why should I give them any favor when they reintroduce bugs that should be long gone along with even more new ones? Why should I give them any favor when they've clearly gone down the path of greedy cash-grabs with loot boxes and FOMO battle passes? Dauntless is dead. Dauntless could've been good, then they didn't just shit the bed; they fucking pissed all over it, scrubbed it deep into the mattress and demanded you sleep on it and like it. Dauntless. Is. Dead.
For context, I am autistic, and very sensitive to change. I started playing Dauntless late last year because it was free on my Switch. I adored it immediately. I just about mastered the war pike, crafted a whole backstory for my character, went on a whole week or so of obsessively doing all the rumors and quests because I adored the game so so so much. I hadn’t played in a month or so when I downloaded the update earlier today and saw the new art, I was excited. I thought it looked so awesome! And then my game loaded. I thought my Switch was glitching with the new UI. So immediately, I started panicking. I couldn’t navigate the UI, everything was different. I had the first total meltdown I’ve had in YEARS over it, I’m still shaking. You can call me overdramatic all you want, but this feels like a betrayal. I just want my favorite game back. I just want the game I accidentally pulled all-nighters happily grinding in. I know it won’t go back to normal, I know it’s probably gonna get worse. Big changes are NEVER good for neurodivergent people, especially when it’s something so special and so comforting. But of course all they cared about is profit. I don’t even know what else to play, I can’t even make myself pick up my Switch to play anything at all.
To tell the truth, I also hated the update without even testing it properly, I saw the purchase of weapons in the store with coins that you can buy in the store with real money and I simply uninstalled the game... I don't want to know if there's a way getting "weapon tokens" by farming with weekly missions to be quite honest dauntless now it's not much different from a mobile game the only thing that's missing is constant advertisements on your screen
Didn’t know I got to keep my weapons as a cosmetic though, that’s information no one else is saying. I just deleted it when I found out about this yesterday lol
Well, i think that live service games go by by one quote and one quote only, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Gotta be honest, taking all the weapons away was a moronic idea at best. That was one of if not the biggest draw to fighting new behemoths. The weapons overall don’t feel as rewarding to use anymore, and now all the time I spent learning what skills I wanted to use on my axes is gone. I’m also not sure but it seems they sped up the behemoths while slowing attack speed especially on the spear. That’s if the behemoths even work correctly, I gave up after I had 3 behemoths simply stop moving only to snap across the arena (only once did a behemoth fully despawn mid fight) don’t see myself going back unless they roll back the update so gg go next.
I went back to the game on Friday I didn’t even know about the update just reinstalled because I wanted to play the fist weapons because they don’t exist in monster hunter and it sounded like I could have a bit of fun. Logged in and was immediately hit with disappointment: Had to redo the tutorial missions, fine I can deal with this I need to relearn after years gone, I look at my weapons and I have one set of gauntlets I previously had a set for each element, more frustrating but fine I can do the tutorial and then craft the rest with some work , finish the tutorial and go to the blacksmith… weapon crafting is gone. I tried getting back into the game, but I felt like I was slogging through it. I can’t imagine how rough it was for people who were playing mere days before the update.
I have played it till the end and this update killed it for me. The losses are not even properly compensated and they even went ahead bold and offered that YOU can pay to get some of these back.
$70 for a cosmetic? Games nowadays are $70 how does this hold its suggested value? You’re making a SKIN in a game already developed. It’s mind boggling to see such absurd prices for micro transactions….nothing micro about it
For the hour that i just played, i find it tedious thst i have to unlock all the islamds/escalations again. I dont like how they got rid of all the major ledendary wepons. Also you cant really have specific armor builds if you want to use both your primary and secondary weapons. Things i dont mind, the new level up system and just being able to put the shards in, the fact that you can have a secondary wepon. Cool concept, havent used it enough to have a real opinion on it.
The only thing I don’t like from the new update is that you can’t craft weapons. And the prices for cosmetics I don’t buy them either way but hot dang.
The amount of experience you now earn is a literal joke, the in-game economy is insanely unreasonable, the amount of aetherite you earn is dismal, the game performs significantly worse, bounties dont grant anything worthwhile, and they paywalled weapons. Its awful.
I played for 3 hours, the things that are horrible are no weapon crafting, pay to win battle passes, loot boxes and the cell system being a joke. The good things was the hunts, they are still somewhat enjoyable. But killing monsters does basically nothing since their parts can't craft new weapons, just occasionally used to upgrade armour and level up weapons.
New player here....(21 hours later)....done and deleted!! I was just looking for a simplified Monster hunter type game where you didn't need to sniff flowers and taste footprints to find your target and re-find it 3 times during the battle!!! I never even heard of Dauntless until I seen Blunty's previous videos from a few days ago!!! It looked great!! What I found when I tried it was a horrible grind where It's hard to stay alive at the recommended level. Where "master hunters" were doing the same low level runs that I just unlocked!!! I didn't see any glitching (good idea for a next video: "The glitching of Dauntless") of monsters, graphics or controls, but I did experience random crashes!! No pattern to it!! just every so often, 5min to an hour after starting the game it would just freeze like a screenshot until Windows detected "a program had a hang up". Know of any other simplified Monster Hunter type games???
6:00 for real I din´t mind starting again from the beggining but I can speak for some that in fact almost all my slayer path got reset, without compensation. Personally I don´t want to start from the beggining, but enjoy the new mechanics the devs cook. But is just feel like they burn the kitchen.
10:00 to be fair, If the statement that you don't mind the new system of not weapon lvl but the talent system and amour progression/upgrade is true, then I don't see were the complain of doing the weekly events to earn the currency to buy the weapon is an Issue, specially when the upgrade requirements to lvl up the amour and talents are the same currency as the slayer path. Not a fun of this argument but I see the point.
12:00 True to many bugs, they cook with the game and burn the kitchen, also I don't know If you read the Devs letter, they said they are not intending in making the weapons purchase only but, I can trust the people that burn the kitchen so bad, I keep playing, but I don't see my self spending any money in the near future to this game. hope It get fixed
I’m not wasting time rebuilding my arsenal, to come to the conclusion they have destroyed the game. I’m moving on and avoiding Phoenix Labs like the plague.
"They are probably going to sell XP boosters" They already do. the Peerless Aetherite is absolutely necessary upwards from Level 40 (Evidenced from own experience by having to grind 30+ bounties to get 103 Dull and 3 Shining Aetherite to go up 1 individual level). And guess where they are. In the store and locked behind the premium battle pass. 🤣🤣 At the absolute least, They could've gave us Dull Aetherite for Bronze Bounties, Shining Aetherite for Silver Bounties and Peerless for completing Gold Bounties. 3 Grades of Bounties, 3 Grades of Aetherite. Their own game literally spelt it out for them.
I didn't play it tbh. Just been playing rise and world. Enjoyed the videos about it nonetheless. Any suggestions for other games to play while we wait for another beta, a demo, or release?
A friend and I played the game for a little. Just felt too much like "knock off monster hunter". But also, it just always felt like early access...all the time.
What happened for the people with like, 1000+ powersurges on they weapon? And why did they put those weapons on the store that cost a currency that is way too expensive if they was just gonna give you half of them after doing the tutorials? I’m so confused, what happened? Is this what they’ve been working on for like a year? And cells? How am I supposed to get 7 of the same cell to actually use it? This is weird. And did they change some of the attacks from the behemoths? I didn’t read the update stuff and I don’t care too, so I don’t really know nothing. But the embermanes attacks was pretty different, like he don’t run away and charge at you. And what the hell is the point of the parts of the behemoths?? It just makes the game less intriguing, needing to kill certain behemoths for certain weapons, but now you just trade them into xp? What? Why? Ts don’t make no sense😫😡 why the hell are those weapon currency shi so expensive
I can't agree with your take on the perk changes. It is the overwhelmingly worst change, I cannot put enough emphasis on this. A large motivation for these giant changes that have been made is "build diversity." The armour changes have destroyed the little build diversity that existed. There are only so many good cells. Now, you can say goodbye to a good 90% of armours. Most sets have 2 if not 3 bad cells, making the few that have good cells the only viable ones. I can tolerate the weapon changes, I will give the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they'll ramp up how often weapons are added, I can tolerate a lot of the other awful changes too, but I can't tolerate using the same 7 different armour pieces on every build. It destroys any reason I had to play this game. Want to test a new build and need to raise a new piece because it has a cell I want? That was how it worked in the old game. Now, I have 7 pieces max and that's all I need. You could not possibly think of a reason to raise any more, those 7 have everything you could ever want or need. There isn't anything to grind for anymore. You just kill the behemoth to level your weapon, the very little that ends up dropping because you need half a million xp (don't quote me on this lmao) to level your weapons to 60. Reforge was a bad system, but it was a lot better than what we have now. I cannot play a monster hunter type game that has nothing for me to do. It's not fun anymore. It'll get stale, rather quickly.
I was a repeaters main. You can imagine my dismay when I logged in, and saw, that as a free to play player, I HAVE ONE repeaters to play with unless y'know, I cough up some money.
I’m a dauntless player that played dauntless for many years because it was fun to one shot behemoths and play with friends with no issues but now I hoped back onto dauntless on my switch my first thought was why is the game so my more laggy then before I would randomly crash when before the update I would never crash or have random freezes while playing I had every weapon over 50reforges all that I received was 2 new crowns and 500of the new currency that is used to buy weapons but when I tested the weapons out it seen all the buffs that we had before where just transferred into the weapons and I’m very disappointed on how much gold I need to be able to be maxed again it would take me manny months just to be able to max out all the armour and weapons because of the lack of gold behemoths drop but now all that dauntless feels like to me is a gold grinding simulator just so I can get to feel like I have a bit of damage against the behemoths the damage has been nerfed heavily but I not about that I’m mad that I have to spend manny many hours just to be able to grind enough gold so my damage become mid.
The early launch was better than reforged, reforged was better than awakening, and my disappointment was more than immeasurable because this garbage is unacceptable. I quit back with reforged for a reason and id sooner get back into Wild Hearts because at least its just BETTER.
I already knew it was over for the game and only it's downfall was in sight as soon as they added a battle pass and the majority of content was cosmetics rather than improving the game. When I look at the game through the years I've never felt like i was missing out :(
Im confused, they had what felt 3 years of like no updates to release a bug one and it’s alright? I don’t know I like it but at the same time, it feels mad buggy, especially the graphics
I was there when Dauntless transitioned to Reforge. All Exp on weapons gone and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE was properly compensated with the materials to level up the weapons. I thought that update was bad and I just quitted the game over it. However, this update...Wow! Yeah, I was planning to check it out but hell no. I'm not going back.
There are definitely alot of things I don’t like about this update, such as weapon crafting and laterns being removed along with weapon customization being nearly non-existent, and the new cell systems, but I am hopeful that the devs will listen to the reviews and release better updates. I still enjoy playing Dauntless, but in its current state, there needs to be a few improvements as it's not as fun and requires even more time thanks to the new weapon upgrade system.
And also the fact that you can’t get peerless aetherite from bounties to upgrade weapons and can only get ONE from the store at a time at such a ridiculous price is just bull.
I have three primariy issues with the update: Many weapons feels to slow and cluncky, specifically sword and hammer are the worst offenders they need a flat attack speed buff You shouldnt have Elements locked to specific weapon types Weapons need more customizability Weapon tokens need to be earnable in a repeatable way. IDC if its a mindnumming grind, like you get 1 token for every escalation completion. But you cant make it so that you can earn 1 weapon a season. That heavily discurages new players since they will never be able to earn what they want without a heavy time investment. If they can address these 3 points more quickly awakening would atleast be playable to me.
I am one of those that left a bad review on steam, because the Devs Deserve it.... But I unlike what you said I played the game for about 10 hrs and have been playing it since it came out on PS4 When Pursuits were a thing... Its still a hallow shell of its former self. Dauntless is going to Die if the Devs do not fix some of the new changes... One reason people really hate the new system is you have to BUY most of the weapons in the shop. If you did bank Purple Shards to Reforge that's all gone and they give you nothing for it.. the 500 Platinum cell slots to grow cells (and I bought Both) costing me 1000 Platinum, they gave me Patrol Keys for this I have 1000+ stupid keys They charge soooo much for the Dumb Atherite and could not even give me my platinum back for getting rid of a few things I bought... Patrol keys are not great... The game S U C K S now... No platinum in the Huntpass, and they put weapons in the Huntpass.. Dauntless is Dead!
I spent so much time getting all those swords and now I only have the default sword and the hunger which I never used Unawaken this shit I want my shit back
played the beta of wilds and wanted something to scratch that itch, so I found and played dauntless 1 week before the update, played for a solid 10 hours and was loving it, after the update tho- being reset so early on I thought i could move on from it and just keep playing but all my crafted weapons? the only Weapon I liked was the spear, they changed its ability to something I think is stupid asf and now I am forced to play other weapons- they took away the main appeal and it was the crafting function, to test builds and ideas and see how they functioned, that's gone now and I want nothing to do with it since its appeal was its almost unlimited amount of crafting and ideas to improve yourself with, it stripped itself of it and now its dying, go figure, I know it goes so much deeper then that for the more experienced players but that's at least my somewhat 'new player' mindset that has just been shifted from 1 week of before and 2 days of playing it after update.
New armour system is not fine. You now can't have many builds since more likely than not 1 piece thats in 2 builds will use different cells, which you cant do now. Siversityis dead, builds are nuked, weapons are p2w, game is just hot ass now. Also takes 8 weeks for 1 weapon. Also ironic how the servers are dying yet it had even less players than ever
I'm not going to lie I haven't reinstalled dauntless yet and I do plan to just to see how it is but just looking at it it looks like all of my hard-earned progression is gone that's the main thing that I think is upsetting people all of those hours spent doing escalations and getting those rare materials to craft the weapons just to have them completely deleted is what I think is really pissing people off and you know what it's not even necessarily because people feel like they're progress has been reset it's mostly people feeling like their hours have been wasted like I said I've spent weeks collecting all of the escalation Behemoth swords and now they're gone I don't even get to keep what I've worked for
thats what it is for me was forced to redo the turorial, was told i'd have to recraft all my armor, and that all of my weapons were confiscated and i would be forced to use cheap foam sword knock offs, seriously i played the turorial hunt and i felt underpowered
I'm trying to play this game but it keeps crashing on me. I play on switch and can't progress. They need to fix or I will have to leave the game for good. Just made a good build but the crash is close making me rage quit. 3 years of playing wasted. I'm trying to be positive, but how can I when the game doesn't work.
I can't even play bc the game doesn't load anymore or doesn't connect to the server [I used to be able to play without any issues and I have played this game since launch on different accounts]
Fantasic! Just Fantastic! I refuse to play all monster hunter trilogies that company somehow hasnt run of content yet for, mainly because of how bad it looks to me personally. So, Fantastic, I cant wait to still show my first day. I hope they dont make me leave permanently and its not just because I spent over 500 on multiple accounts over the years. Tbh, it may not be 500, but it is unknown. I have all the store emotes, store emojis, at least 5 full premium passes, at least 8 bundles, as well as have gotten multiple 4.99's and 14.99's of just the bars.
They should rename the game Grind. If you don't want to pay a lot you grind through the boring challenges. It's kill this ten times, with this helmet, and get a pittance. It's okay to want money but this is really greedy and boring.
Was excited to play this on Steam. I had played this a lot on Xbox. From what I understand Phoenix labs was sold to a blockchain company (Forte Labs). This game is essentially dead now as I don't see them revering the changes and will just claim that player interest dropped and they can't make money so they will just shut the game down.
I'm in denial. I'm in the process of reinstalling to see this for myself because I know if I don't, I'll always wonder how I would have felt seeing it for myself I cannot believe all this garbage:/ thank you so much for the video!
2000 hrs wiped away like a dirty bottom...now all i got is a broken social panel, broke builds glitching, clipping and crashing. 1.5 hrs to reforge and now 600 hrs to max weapon. 18 weapons and ya wont let me earn enough to buy one for 40 days. Like did they sell this to an overseas c9mpany who somehow earns cred for clmakung the worst update in game history....are they really monster hunter devs or paid to destroy this game just months before the mh wilds release? Wtactual F?!
I feel kinda outta place in the whole old player opinions I’ve been playing since open beta and I don’t really mind the new update the whole grind for levels feels more rewarding cause I don’t have to reforge and start all over for the 30th time and now I don’t feel like I have an inventory full of weapons that I’ll never use cause I have the legendary from that element but I will admit there are definitely some issues I kinda like the new direction
The games still Good...wills isn't normal I miss when we could just buy new weapons there and use them instead of trying to weapon tokens i don't even know where to get weapon tokens
I finally found someone who doesn't whine about about the game with no real explanation and I'm completely fine with your complaints and why you quit the game but i also thank you for showing how everyone is just t"new update " "The game is trash "
I love how you said one thing in your previous video, and then went back on it... Didnt you say something like "let them cook", and look how it turned out to be... Everyone can have an opinion, that dosent mean that it is a good or a right opinion, your falls under that one...
It's called judging something on its own merits you dope... I didn't make up my mind about it BEFORE I EVEN FUCKING PLAYED IT like some other dipshits did. It's called giving it a fair go. It's called being AUTHENTIC, it's called fairness, and it's called changing my opinion based on new personal experience... it's what SMART people do to form their opinions. Fucking idiot.
i mean its certainly dumb to start making judgements and opinions before they actually do cook. only when the dish is at the table do you get to say its shit. let them cook and then judge. if you find that sentiment unresonable quite frankly you are the one thats cooked XD theres equal example of peoples bad faith not being justified when the end product actually comes out....
Nah only way to get new weapons is game pass and weapon tokens which u earn from game pass or buy tokens from store. Pretty much they take away most fun part of the game slay the monster farm its parts and craft the weapon. I enjoyed that the most. Each weapon is like 1 dollar.
Ngl i gave the game a chance and generally want to continue the game but dauntless has just become Terrible, restarting everything for a couple of weapons and one max level seems like a load of horse dung, i enjoyed the game loop dont get me wrong but have to fight 300 behemoths to get max weapon level for one singler weapon and getting parts to get max armor seems like a load of crap, im still Currently playing the game and have played it for about 32 hours i think but it hasn't been fun, the changes are Interesting and pretty cool i didn't enjoy the lanterns being removed but i waited, me and friends Thought for a good while that weapon crafting was gotten after doing quest, the game being only a few weapons is horrid theres no diversity if your better with one weapon but are fighting something its week again, i generally really really liked my time played the game but now it just isn't worth it anymore
I think new players will think its alright, but I do not like it at all. I don't think it's horrible, just "VERYYYYY interesting" to say the least... :|
I spent around 6 hours of the game and i noticed that was no craft i was bout to quit but i played it a little more, and unfortunately MHW still have my attention 😢
i understand the part where they remove weapons with the reworks and all that but only if its temporary, said this everythign else is horrible it has just become a p2w game and a grinding simulater that just isnt fun anymore
but for me if they just get the weapon crafting back and promise to re add weapons as the yrewor kthem the game will be good again thats my main problem, cause i understand they need mone yand monetize some EVENT or EXCLUSIVE weapons i can understand but not ALL the weapons in game thats just unnacceptable
Too bad I was hoping the update will be great. What a shame. Great video though. BTW what games do you recommend that have a fun grind? Preferably free😅
My initial reaction was extremely negative, but now I’m just fine with the update. But I do have a lot of issues with the frame rate and crashes I crashed like 10 times today only reason I got through it is because I’m addicted and have free time. Also I hate how you barely get any exp even if you have hunt pass. Finally for the negatives a lot of the perks for armor sets make no sense at all and require a lil too many points, just give helmets and gauntlets 2 slots cmon Phoenix.. Besides that I really like how weapons have unique Talents especially the Terra Chainblades with poison dmg. Also the way buffs stack is cool I love Evasive Fury stacked with tempest. Overall though, im still disappointed mainly due to the exp grind or lack there of… it’s just weird you make ZERO PROGRESS just playing the game like there’s no point in trying to level the weapon it’s weird asf..

My axes were my babies, I powersurged all of them.... Now I have only 3. Feels like someone stole my babies.
Had all swords and most axes powersurged, as well as a ton of other weapons. Almost all armor powersurged as well. This was clearly an attempt to make sure new players had a lot to grind for, while veteran players got back into it. We didn't even get enough materials to get a single weapon to level 60. This is beyond outrageous. For the reforged update, the devs tried giving us what we lost back in an attempt to show us that they respected our old time investment. This time around there was no respect shown whatsoever.
I had every weapon in the game I started since the game came out I had over 70 prestiged on all categories of weapons builds for each one of the weapon categories just for the after the updated to be useless
@@bok4822like 60 fucking materias was going to bring back my 100s of Hours
My beautiful shield tank build got demolished, and now i hit like a baby my favorite axe got stole, now only a transmog, all carefully designed behemoth themed items were ripped from the game, this was a great loss
THE AXES WERE MY LITTLE BABYS TOO 😭
Reforge was kinda bad, Awakenings is just a joke
A joke should be funny, this one is an insult
Console beta tester here, the Pay 2 Win Elements and loot boxes killed it for me
I absolutely can't believe the way they are trying to milk the playerbase
This isnt dauntless anymore just a game with the same name -OhDough
Looking at dauntless right now makes me think of "it's always sunny in Philadelphia" when he ice skates and immediately slips and knocks himself while dreaming he did amazing.
"Hmmm... The sudden change to that model sounds fishy... Almost like what happens when a Chinese company like Tencent gets their grubby hands on a game... Lemme dig for a sec."
*finds out that Phoenix Labs was bought in secrecy in 2023 by a Blockchain company called "Forte"*
"... Oh God, it's much worse than I thought."
Except look at path of exile and warframe, both majority owned by tencent for years now
I think what they mean by reseting the progress is the loss of their maxed out weapons and builds. I lost my fave war pikes and the two builds I had built around it. The cells I had used are no longer available and others cannot even be used together no more. I haven't been with Dauntless since the very begining but I did fall in love with it and I spent exhausting amount of hours playing. My builts were specific for Heroic Escas and Trials and the other for farming on Blazeworks. I was literally looking forward to the weekly Heroics, to challenging myself and improving my skills. There's a few Behemots I absolutely hated as I struggled to chase them around the combat arena to even make a hit like the Bloodshot Shrowd or Flameborn Rezakiri but I was dedicated. I have even completed the Unseen Nevermore quest, to which I cried on the inside as I failed time over time again and again until I finally made it. To say that I can no longer participate in what I loved most about Dauntless is what pains me most. The 60 Peerless Aetherites are only enough to max out one weapon, so what's the point of having two when you can't even mac out both to begin with. To be able to max out my new builds and weapons so that I could go back to doing Heroics is going to take me at least a couple of weeks. This is where I feel I have been reset to zero, it's not about the Slayer Path but about what they permanently took away from the builds and weapons. All the reforges done were supposed to have a nice compensation in the Awekening and all we got are just two crowns that don't even have any perks, just the cosmetic. Had I known. I wouldn't even bother with the reforges. Then they took away the XP from the Bounties and only gave the Aetherites instead and not only that, you'd think they'd give you Dull on Bronze, Shining on Silver and Peerless on Gold... Ah nope! You get the Dull on Bronze and Silver and only Shining on Gold. The cells cannot be removed unless you destroy them. The amount of bugs that are constantly affecting the game is ridiculous, it keeps crashing frequently, the Behemots are super OP on the Hunting Grounds and you get little to no XP for all that struggle. Alyra is constantly teleporting outside of the combat zone and up high where you can't even reach her and the list goes on and on. They just turned this update into a massive money pit so if you want to progress to somewhat what you had, you either sacrifice another couple of weeks or you spend a fortune in the store to speed it up. Both options completely unfair to the veteran players. As for me, I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and a fair chance to warm up to it. I have spent the whole weekend playing it but no, no matter how or where I look at, Dauntless is absolutely dead to me now too.
This update is pure shit, most of my builds gone, weapons gone, build diversity gone, extreme amount of grind to get “new” weapons
As one of the people who did not really give the new changes a massive chance ill explain why. I logged in, all my armor was gone, my builds were completely destroyed. More importantly, when i tried to recreate even a small part of my build with my current armor, i couldnt even make anything remotely playable. Basically I can only get 2 perks even activated (if its not activated you get zero benefit). If i already have 6 different pieces of armor in EACH armor class maxed out, huge amounts of cells already made etc....the fact that I cant even get a single viable build working...is rediculous. It really is. If i could at least get a decent build setup I would work with it. I was relatively annoyed that my exotic helmets were gone, but If i could get the same style of abilities out of something else I would be OK with it. The real annoyance here for people is 1. We dont like to lose things, and this feels like losing lots of things, whether thats accurate or not it FEELS like we LOST a TON. 2. We lost a massive amount of customizability in builds. Huge. you have a huge amount less customizability. 3. I refuse to buy weapons for real money, its disgusting.
i redownloaded from PS4 to PS5 and was stripped to a greenhorn account (literally forced to play the turotials) that alone was enough to make me turn my back on the game)
Can't bring myself to uninstall it, But I'm done. my gear is all gone, the game is pay-to-play now, and the heart of the game is dead. RIP dauntless, genuinely. I will miss you dearly.
I dont give a shit about giving the game a chance if it immediately strips away all my hard work and locks them behind paywalls man, if you could craft the weapons again sure i probably would have gave it a shot but after logging on and going from having all the axes maxed out to only having the twin suns and a the molten hammer is a fucking slap on the face. Then only for that slap to be turned into a punch when i go into the cell menu and find not only have all the cells been simplified to 1 per cell they have also destroyed build diversity completely.
This is coming from someone who kinda liked reforged but come the fuck on man, rule number one of a fucking hunting game is to craft gear from the loot of the bosses.
For the game, I'd like the new weapon and armor upgrading, but I'm not happy that they pretty much deleted all my weapons and put them behind the paywall and pretty much won't allow me to upgrade my armor until I unlock new islands after doing the " main quest"
And besides that is that the behemoths keep glitching and some of them glitch into the ground some glitch into the air and I can't even hit them.
Also, sometimes I'm getting hit by behemoth and or other things who aren't even near me
RIP Dauntless 🪦⚰️💀
I enjoyed dauntless but with the loss of being able to craft weapons from the behemoths we fought I don’t really want to have to pay for new weapons with such a slow grind for leveling up every single weapon individually is just not an enjoyable experience and really makes me sad that they have killed the main draw for me to play their game.
I played this game around launch and all it did was make me want to play monster hunter even more
It had a lot of potential and I did have a lot of fun with it in the first 2 years. But monster hunter was just better.
@@matthewcharles9813 the only thing they had back then was that monhun was still console exclusive
but then again they DID sign with the marketing blackhole that is Epic Games store so when MH did release on PC, it was already done by then
Never played Monster Hunter buut I kine want to now. buut I'm too poor to Buy it.
I used to play it for a while when it was released on switch, but the weapons that is crafted lacking in difference in stats was a turn off. It was all just elemental +20% or elemental -20% dmg.
Dauntless is dead now.
If coming back after not playing for a year for the new update only to find all my progress has been wiped, proper builds have been all but removed, bugs have resurfaced with friends, loot boxes are here, hunt passes don't pay for themselves, and "new" weapons (old weapons with other/old abilities tacked on and given a new skin) are locked behind a paywall unless you wanna spend two seasons to earn the currency to buy them makes me a "whiney toddler" then so be it.
Why should I bother to give them any good favor when this is like the fourth time they've rebooted the game while demanding we restart our progress? Why should I give them any favor when they reintroduce bugs that should be long gone along with even more new ones? Why should I give them any favor when they've clearly gone down the path of greedy cash-grabs with loot boxes and FOMO battle passes?
Dauntless is dead.
Dauntless could've been good, then they didn't just shit the bed; they fucking pissed all over it, scrubbed it deep into the mattress and demanded you sleep on it and like it.
Dauntless. Is. Dead.
For context, I am autistic, and very sensitive to change. I started playing Dauntless late last year because it was free on my Switch. I adored it immediately. I just about mastered the war pike, crafted a whole backstory for my character, went on a whole week or so of obsessively doing all the rumors and quests because I adored the game so so so much. I hadn’t played in a month or so when I downloaded the update earlier today and saw the new art, I was excited. I thought it looked so awesome! And then my game loaded. I thought my Switch was glitching with the new UI. So immediately, I started panicking. I couldn’t navigate the UI, everything was different. I had the first total meltdown I’ve had in YEARS over it, I’m still shaking. You can call me overdramatic all you want, but this feels like a betrayal. I just want my favorite game back. I just want the game I accidentally pulled all-nighters happily grinding in. I know it won’t go back to normal, I know it’s probably gonna get worse. Big changes are NEVER good for neurodivergent people, especially when it’s something so special and so comforting. But of course all they cared about is profit. I don’t even know what else to play, I can’t even make myself pick up my Switch to play anything at all.
To tell the truth, I also hated the update without even testing it properly, I saw the purchase of weapons in the store with coins that you can buy in the store with real money and I simply uninstalled the game... I don't want to know if there's a way getting "weapon tokens" by farming with weekly missions to be quite honest dauntless now it's not much different from a mobile game the only thing that's missing is constant advertisements on your screen
I’m incredibly angry with what they’ve done. I had most of the exotic weapons all the armor and millions of the coins, they ruined it. I’m done.
Not to mention the thousands of hours they deleted.
Didn’t know I got to keep my weapons as a cosmetic though, that’s information no one else is saying. I just deleted it when I found out about this yesterday lol
Well, i think that live service games go by by one quote and one quote only, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Gotta be honest, taking all the weapons away was a moronic idea at best. That was one of if not the biggest draw to fighting new behemoths. The weapons overall don’t feel as rewarding to use anymore, and now all the time I spent learning what skills I wanted to use on my axes is gone. I’m also not sure but it seems they sped up the behemoths while slowing attack speed especially on the spear. That’s if the behemoths even work correctly, I gave up after I had 3 behemoths simply stop moving only to snap across the arena (only once did a behemoth fully despawn mid fight) don’t see myself going back unless they roll back the update so gg go next.
I went back to the game on Friday I didn’t even know about the update just reinstalled because I wanted to play the fist weapons because they don’t exist in monster hunter and it sounded like I could have a bit of fun. Logged in and was immediately hit with disappointment: Had to redo the tutorial missions, fine I can deal with this I need to relearn after years gone, I look at my weapons and I have one set of gauntlets I previously had a set for each element, more frustrating but fine I can do the tutorial and then craft the rest with some work , finish the tutorial and go to the blacksmith… weapon crafting is gone. I tried getting back into the game, but I felt like I was slogging through it. I can’t imagine how rough it was for people who were playing mere days before the update.
I have played it till the end and this update killed it for me. The losses are not even properly compensated and they even went ahead bold and offered that YOU can pay to get some of these back.
$70 for a cosmetic? Games nowadays are $70 how does this hold its suggested value? You’re making a SKIN in a game already developed. It’s mind boggling to see such absurd prices for micro transactions….nothing micro about it
Lets just cope that they've done this on purpose to release dauntless 2 for a price instead of f2p.
because frankly that's all we can do now.
Grind in warframe is more rewarding than grinding in this pit that dauntless are now, i dont recommend anyone to play this game after Awakening update
Because at least Tencent knows how to milk without blowing up the kitchen.
Meanwhile this was intentionally blowing up the kitchen for a milk.
For the hour that i just played, i find it tedious thst i have to unlock all the islamds/escalations again. I dont like how they got rid of all the major ledendary wepons. Also you cant really have specific armor builds if you want to use both your primary and secondary weapons.
Things i dont mind, the new level up system and just being able to put the shards in, the fact that you can have a secondary wepon. Cool concept, havent used it enough to have a real opinion on it.
The only thing I don’t like from the new update is that you can’t craft weapons. And the prices for cosmetics I don’t buy them either way but hot dang.
There's sadly some decent in the update but none of it matters because of how bad the rest of it is
The amount of experience you now earn is a literal joke, the in-game economy is insanely unreasonable, the amount of aetherite you earn is dismal, the game performs significantly worse, bounties dont grant anything worthwhile, and they paywalled weapons. Its awful.
Yeah in the real world dauntless owes me several hundred hrs of my time and money. They should be in big shit to this
woow the game has LOST 78% of Active players.
This "awakening"killed the game
I played for 3 hours, the things that are horrible are no weapon crafting, pay to win battle passes, loot boxes and the cell system being a joke.
The good things was the hunts, they are still somewhat enjoyable. But killing monsters does basically nothing since their parts can't craft new weapons, just occasionally used to upgrade armour and level up weapons.
Im an old player I don’t like that I wasted time on reforging so many times to get it taken out..
But I am redownloading to try it
New player here....(21 hours later)....done and deleted!! I was just looking for a simplified Monster hunter type game where you didn't need to sniff flowers and taste footprints to find your target and re-find it 3 times during the battle!!! I never even heard of Dauntless until I seen Blunty's previous videos from a few days ago!!! It looked great!! What I found when I tried it was a horrible grind where It's hard to stay alive at the recommended level. Where "master hunters" were doing the same low level runs that I just unlocked!!! I didn't see any glitching (good idea for a next video: "The glitching of Dauntless") of monsters, graphics or controls, but I did experience random crashes!! No pattern to it!! just every so often, 5min to an hour after starting the game it would just freeze like a screenshot until Windows detected "a program had a hang up". Know of any other simplified Monster Hunter type games???
6:00 for real I din´t mind starting again from the beggining but I can speak for some that in fact almost all my slayer path got reset, without compensation. Personally I don´t want to start from the beggining, but enjoy the new mechanics the devs cook. But is just feel like they burn the kitchen.
10:00 to be fair, If the statement that you don't mind the new system of not weapon lvl but the talent system and amour progression/upgrade is true, then I don't see were the complain of doing the weekly events to earn the currency to buy the weapon is an Issue, specially when the upgrade requirements to lvl up the amour and talents are the same currency as the slayer path. Not a fun of this argument but I see the point.
12:00 True to many bugs, they cook with the game and burn the kitchen, also I don't know If you read the Devs letter, they said they are not intending in making the weapons purchase only but, I can trust the people that burn the kitchen so bad, I keep playing, but I don't see my self spending any money in the near future to this game. hope It get fixed
Good video
@@Landini. MF dauntless team said "All returning players will receive 300,000 Rams and 5,000 Combat Merits" like brother we're lost a million
I’m not wasting time rebuilding my arsenal, to come to the conclusion they have destroyed the game. I’m moving on and avoiding Phoenix Labs like the plague.
"They are probably going to sell XP boosters" They already do. the Peerless Aetherite is absolutely necessary upwards from Level 40 (Evidenced from own experience by having to grind 30+ bounties to get 103 Dull and 3 Shining Aetherite to go up 1 individual level). And guess where they are. In the store and locked behind the premium battle pass. 🤣🤣
At the absolute least, They could've gave us Dull Aetherite for Bronze Bounties, Shining Aetherite for Silver Bounties and Peerless for completing Gold Bounties. 3 Grades of Bounties, 3 Grades of Aetherite. Their own game literally spelt it out for them.
Every update for me has been a parade of the devs addressing all the issues I've had in the worst ways possible
I had plenty of patience with this game I’m done giving them more chances 😂.
I didn't play it tbh. Just been playing rise and world. Enjoyed the videos about it nonetheless.
Any suggestions for other games to play while we wait for another beta, a demo, or release?
A friend and I played the game for a little. Just felt too much like "knock off monster hunter". But also, it just always felt like early access...all the time.
What happened for the people with like, 1000+ powersurges on they weapon? And why did they put those weapons on the store that cost a currency that is way too expensive if they was just gonna give you half of them after doing the tutorials? I’m so confused, what happened? Is this what they’ve been working on for like a year? And cells? How am I supposed to get 7 of the same cell to actually use it? This is weird. And did they change some of the attacks from the behemoths? I didn’t read the update stuff and I don’t care too, so I don’t really know nothing. But the embermanes attacks was pretty different, like he don’t run away and charge at you. And what the hell is the point of the parts of the behemoths?? It just makes the game less intriguing, needing to kill certain behemoths for certain weapons, but now you just trade them into xp? What? Why?
Ts don’t make no sense😫😡 why the hell are those weapon currency shi so expensive
I can't agree with your take on the perk changes. It is the overwhelmingly worst change, I cannot put enough emphasis on this. A large motivation for these giant changes that have been made is "build diversity." The armour changes have destroyed the little build diversity that existed. There are only so many good cells. Now, you can say goodbye to a good 90% of armours. Most sets have 2 if not 3 bad cells, making the few that have good cells the only viable ones. I can tolerate the weapon changes, I will give the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they'll ramp up how often weapons are added, I can tolerate a lot of the other awful changes too, but I can't tolerate using the same 7 different armour pieces on every build. It destroys any reason I had to play this game. Want to test a new build and need to raise a new piece because it has a cell I want? That was how it worked in the old game. Now, I have 7 pieces max and that's all I need. You could not possibly think of a reason to raise any more, those 7 have everything you could ever want or need. There isn't anything to grind for anymore. You just kill the behemoth to level your weapon, the very little that ends up dropping because you need half a million xp (don't quote me on this lmao) to level your weapons to 60. Reforge was a bad system, but it was a lot better than what we have now. I cannot play a monster hunter type game that has nothing for me to do. It's not fun anymore. It'll get stale, rather quickly.
I was a repeaters main. You can imagine my dismay when I logged in, and saw, that as a free to play player, I HAVE ONE repeaters to play with unless y'know, I cough up some money.
I’m a dauntless player that played dauntless for many years because it was fun to one shot behemoths and play with friends with no issues but now I hoped back onto dauntless on my switch my first thought was why is the game so my more laggy then before I would randomly crash when before the update I would never crash or have random freezes while playing I had every weapon over 50reforges all that I received was 2 new crowns and 500of the new currency that is used to buy weapons but when I tested the weapons out it seen all the buffs that we had before where just transferred into the weapons and I’m very disappointed on how much gold I need to be able to be maxed again it would take me manny months just to be able to max out all the armour and weapons because of the lack of gold behemoths drop but now all that dauntless feels like to me is a gold grinding simulator just so I can get to feel like I have a bit of damage against the behemoths the damage has been nerfed heavily but I not about that I’m mad that I have to spend manny many hours just to be able to grind enough gold so my damage become mid.
We just started playing as a group of four, just before the update and we LOVED it...then the update hit and we all four deleted the game...sad day
The early launch was better than reforged, reforged was better than awakening, and my disappointment was more than immeasurable because this garbage is unacceptable. I quit back with reforged for a reason and id sooner get back into Wild Hearts because at least its just BETTER.
I already knew it was over for the game and only it's downfall was in sight as soon as they added a battle pass and the majority of content was cosmetics rather than improving the game. When I look at the game through the years I've never felt like i was missing out :(
Im confused, they had what felt 3 years of like no updates to release a bug one and it’s alright? I don’t know I like it but at the same time, it feels mad buggy, especially the graphics
I was there when Dauntless transitioned to Reforge. All Exp on weapons gone and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE was properly compensated with the materials to level up the weapons. I thought that update was bad and I just quitted the game over it. However, this update...Wow! Yeah, I was planning to check it out but hell no. I'm not going back.
There are definitely alot of things I don’t like about this update, such as weapon crafting and laterns being removed along with weapon customization being nearly non-existent, and the new cell systems, but I am hopeful that the devs will listen to the reviews and release better updates. I still enjoy playing Dauntless, but in its current state, there needs to be a few improvements as it's not as fun and requires even more time thanks to the new weapon upgrade system.
And also the fact that you can’t get peerless aetherite from bounties to upgrade weapons and can only get ONE from the store at a time at such a ridiculous price is just bull.
Somehow, on ps5 it now runs on 30fps
I have three primariy issues with the update:
Many weapons feels to slow and cluncky, specifically sword and hammer are the worst offenders they need a flat attack speed buff
You shouldnt have Elements locked to specific weapon types
Weapons need more customizability
Weapon tokens need to be earnable in a repeatable way. IDC if its a mindnumming grind, like you get 1 token for every escalation completion. But you cant make it so that you can earn 1 weapon a season. That heavily discurages new players since they will never be able to earn what they want without a heavy time investment.
If they can address these 3 points more quickly awakening would atleast be playable to me.
So my kusarigamas are gone? My kusarigamas for what i wasted my time on resources and material for upgrade...
All my work down the drain
I had a feeling this might happen with who owns the studio now
I am one of those that left a bad review on steam, because the Devs Deserve it.... But I unlike what you said I played the game for about 10 hrs and have been playing it since it came out on PS4 When Pursuits were a thing... Its still a hallow shell of its former self. Dauntless is going to Die if the Devs do not fix some of the new changes... One reason people really hate the new system is you have to BUY most of the weapons in the shop. If you did bank Purple Shards to Reforge that's all gone and they give you nothing for it.. the 500 Platinum cell slots to grow cells (and I bought Both) costing me 1000 Platinum, they gave me Patrol Keys for this I have 1000+ stupid keys They charge soooo much for the Dumb Atherite and could not even give me my platinum back for getting rid of a few things I bought... Patrol keys are not great... The game S U C K S now... No platinum in the Huntpass, and they put weapons in the Huntpass.. Dauntless is Dead!
I spent so much time getting all those swords and now I only have the default sword and the hunger which I never used
Unawaken this shit I want my shit back
It was essentially like Secret world legends. Not a bad game but the fixes and monetization were ridiculous.
played the beta of wilds and wanted something to scratch that itch, so I found and played dauntless 1 week before the update, played for a solid 10 hours and was loving it, after the update tho- being reset so early on I thought i could move on from it and just keep playing but all my crafted weapons? the only Weapon I liked was the spear, they changed its ability to something I think is stupid asf and now I am forced to play other weapons- they took away the main appeal and it was the crafting function, to test builds and ideas and see how they functioned, that's gone now and I want nothing to do with it since its appeal was its almost unlimited amount of crafting and ideas to improve yourself with, it stripped itself of it and now its dying, go figure, I know it goes so much deeper then that for the more experienced players but that's at least my somewhat 'new player' mindset that has just been shifted from 1 week of before and 2 days of playing it after update.
I dont mind the update but all the weapon type i grinded for the chain blades really hurt for them to be turned into skins
New armour system is not fine. You now can't have many builds since more likely than not 1 piece thats in 2 builds will use different cells, which you cant do now.
Siversityis dead, builds are nuked, weapons are p2w, game is just hot ass now.
Also takes 8 weeks for 1 weapon.
Also ironic how the servers are dying yet it had even less players than ever
I'm not going to lie I haven't reinstalled dauntless yet and I do plan to just to see how it is but just looking at it it looks like all of my hard-earned progression is gone that's the main thing that I think is upsetting people all of those hours spent doing escalations and getting those rare materials to craft the weapons just to have them completely deleted is what I think is really pissing people off and you know what it's not even necessarily because people feel like they're progress has been reset it's mostly people feeling like their hours have been wasted like I said I've spent weeks collecting all of the escalation Behemoth swords and now they're gone I don't even get to keep what I've worked for
thats what it is for me
was forced to redo the turorial, was told i'd have to recraft all my armor, and that all of my weapons were confiscated and i would be forced to use cheap foam sword knock offs, seriously i played the turorial hunt and i felt underpowered
I'm trying to play this game but it keeps crashing on me. I play on switch and can't progress. They need to fix or I will have to leave the game for good. Just made a good build but the crash is close making me rage quit. 3 years of playing wasted. I'm trying to be positive, but how can I when the game doesn't work.
The THUMBNAIL of this video with the Googly eyes on the Karkanos that is Hilarious.
I can't even play bc the game doesn't load anymore or doesn't connect to the server [I used to be able to play without any issues and I have played this game since launch on different accounts]
Fantasic! Just Fantastic! I refuse to play all monster hunter trilogies that company somehow hasnt run of content yet for, mainly because of how bad it looks to me personally.
So, Fantastic, I cant wait to still show my first day. I hope they dont make me leave permanently and its not just because I spent over 500 on multiple accounts over the years.
Tbh, it may not be 500, but it is unknown. I have all the store emotes, store emojis, at least 5 full premium passes, at least 8 bundles, as well as have gotten multiple 4.99's and 14.99's of just the bars.
They should rename the game Grind. If you don't want to pay a lot you grind through the boring challenges. It's kill this ten times, with this helmet, and get a pittance. It's okay to want money but this is really greedy and boring.
Was excited to play this on Steam. I had played this a lot on Xbox. From what I understand Phoenix labs was sold to a blockchain company (Forte Labs). This game is essentially dead now as I don't see them revering the changes and will just claim that player interest dropped and they can't make money so they will just shut the game down.
I'm in denial. I'm in the process of reinstalling to see this for myself because I know if I don't, I'll always wonder how I would have felt seeing it for myself
I cannot believe all this garbage:/ thank you so much for the video!
2000 hrs wiped away like a dirty bottom...now all i got is a broken social panel, broke builds glitching, clipping and crashing. 1.5 hrs to reforge and now 600 hrs to max weapon. 18 weapons and ya wont let me earn enough to buy one for 40 days.
Like did they sell this to an overseas c9mpany who somehow earns cred for clmakung the worst update in game history....are they really monster hunter devs or paid to destroy this game just months before the mh wilds release?
Wtactual F?!
Awakening needs to go back ta sleep. This is a spit in the face of the 4 plus year veterans of this game😔. Neutral escalation is all we needed. 🤷🏾♂️
But what happened to the cells tho? do old players still have them?
Still have, at lvl one.
I feel kinda outta place in the whole old player opinions I’ve been playing since open beta and I don’t really mind the new update the whole grind for levels feels more rewarding cause I don’t have to reforge and start all over for the 30th time and now I don’t feel like I have an inventory full of weapons that I’ll never use cause I have the legendary from that element but I will admit there are definitely some issues I kinda like the new direction
The game was never good in the first place. Incompetent devs and studio. (for me)
Excellent video, I liked the view and the pragmatism.
I hate what they did, this is not what I was hoping for, this is trash. I was a founder and it's the end of the road for me.
all they had to do is give weapon switch and improve build modularity and add new content rip this game
The games still Good...wills isn't normal I miss when we could just buy new weapons there and use them instead of trying to weapon tokens i don't even know where to get weapon tokens
I finally found someone who doesn't whine about about the game with no real explanation and I'm completely fine with your complaints and why you quit the game but i also thank you for showing how everyone is just t"new update " "The game is trash "
Playing wild hearts as soon as i didnt like the update
Dauntless isn't funny anymore
I love how you said one thing in your previous video, and then went back on it...
Didnt you say something like "let them cook", and look how it turned out to be...
Everyone can have an opinion, that dosent mean that it is a good or a right opinion, your falls under that one...
It's called judging something on its own merits you dope... I didn't make up my mind about it BEFORE I EVEN FUCKING PLAYED IT like some other dipshits did. It's called giving it a fair go. It's called being AUTHENTIC, it's called fairness, and it's called changing my opinion based on new personal experience... it's what SMART people do to form their opinions.
Fucking idiot.
i mean its certainly dumb to start making judgements and opinions before they actually do cook. only when the dish is at the table do you get to say its shit. let them cook and then judge. if you find that sentiment unresonable quite frankly you are the one thats cooked XD theres equal example of peoples bad faith not being justified when the end product actually comes out....
@@BluntyTVI'm fully with you on this. The op made an instructions irrational complaint not based on any logic.
Nah only way to get new weapons is game pass and weapon tokens which u earn from game pass or buy tokens from store. Pretty much they take away most fun part of the game slay the monster farm its parts and craft the weapon. I enjoyed that the most. Each weapon is like 1 dollar.
I was an axe player and now I hate the game
Ngl i gave the game a chance and generally want to continue the game but dauntless has just become Terrible, restarting everything for a couple of weapons and one max level seems like a load of horse dung, i enjoyed the game loop dont get me wrong but have to fight 300 behemoths to get max weapon level for one singler weapon and getting parts to get max armor seems like a load of crap, im still Currently playing the game and have played it for about 32 hours i think but it hasn't been fun, the changes are Interesting and pretty cool i didn't enjoy the lanterns being removed but i waited, me and friends Thought for a good while that weapon crafting was gotten after doing quest, the game being only a few weapons is horrid theres no diversity if your better with one weapon but are fighting something its week again, i generally really really liked my time played the game but now it just isn't worth it anymore
I made everything was on my way off completing everything all i was missing urska weapons and armor
I think new players will think its alright, but I do not like it at all. I don't think it's horrible, just "VERYYYYY interesting" to say the least... :|
I spent around 6 hours of the game and i noticed that was no craft i was bout to quit but i played it a little more, and unfortunately MHW still have my attention 😢
I just hate they got rid of all my weapons I farm so hard for besides that the DLC was okay to me not a game changer by any means but a decent game
i understand the part where they remove weapons with the reworks and all that but only if its temporary, said this everythign else is horrible it has just become a p2w game and a grinding simulater that just isnt fun anymore
but for me if they just get the weapon crafting back and promise to re add weapons as the yrewor kthem the game will be good again thats my main problem, cause i understand they need mone yand monetize some EVENT or EXCLUSIVE weapons i can understand but not ALL the weapons in game thats just unnacceptable
Too bad I was hoping the update will be great. What a shame.
Great video though. BTW what games do you recommend that have a fun grind? Preferably free😅
My initial reaction was extremely negative, but now I’m just fine with the update. But I do have a lot of issues with the frame rate and crashes I crashed like 10 times today only reason I got through it is because I’m addicted and have free time. Also I hate how you barely get any exp even if you have hunt pass. Finally for the negatives a lot of the perks for armor sets make no sense at all and require a lil too many points, just give helmets and gauntlets 2 slots cmon Phoenix.. Besides that I really like how weapons have unique Talents especially the Terra Chainblades with poison dmg. Also the way buffs stack is cool I love Evasive Fury stacked with tempest. Overall though, im still disappointed mainly due to the exp grind or lack there of… it’s just weird you make ZERO PROGRESS just playing the game like there’s no point in trying to level the weapon it’s weird asf..
I miss rumbleverse so bad 😢
Came back to dauntless after many years obly because i like gauntlets, and im waiting for wilds
Came back for the update...ngl i still have fun smashing rock dinos...the game is messed up now though...good luck if ur a new player😅
What can I do with cache coins now lol
I like good changes but this was beyond dumb
Last Resort Map
when you can't make new content you gotta start cannibalizing old content for money i guess
Thank you for this I’ve also played since day 1 and I actually like the update
Let's be honest here everything
Why make a good game, shit?
They really shot themselves in the foot.
