I really hope they recognize the severe backlash that this update has brought, and do something about it. In the official discord server, it's a battle field, everyone hates it, and devs had said nothing yet. I hope this isn't the end, I've spent too much time and had too much fun for this game to just be washed away in one big update
They haven’t done anything about criticism or backlash for years now, unfortunately I don’t think they’ll start now. It happened when the first major full game rework happened, and for some reason they don’t understand we just want the original game back, without the whole reforge system, and to bring back hunts for individual behemoths instead of the endless hunting grounds
@@trevordoherty6560 There’s a reason they never want to go back to the old, good formula; money. It’s easier to make the game repeatedly worse, bank on player good will for the ‘next big update’ while slowly chipping away at the F2P aspect. Removal of cosmetics from the battlepass into a paid only one, removal of platinum as well, so now you have two battle passes you gave to buy. Now you don’t have your slayer vault for free, old cosmetics anymore and paired with a loot box. I’m sure the store has plenty amount of new skins. I would check if I had the game downloaded.
I legit logged in the other day to try this out, saw practically everything gutted out for a soulless shell and uninstalled. Took all of five minutes to realize this ain't dauntless anymore.
So ur telling me, after all that grinding to get the Legendary weapons, was for nothing? AND GRINDING FOR THE SILVER SWORD ONLY FOR IT TO BE REDUCED TO THE DEFAULT SWORD
It's over, my guy. Bought out by a Crypto company, this game was swapped around to be one final cash grab before closing it out for good. Hoping people spend money to get their weapons back, before shuttering the game. This is the best example of regression in video game, that I've ever seen. It went from being a complete experience, to this weird pre-alpha feeling nonsense. Absolute shame.
Dude I last consistently played when they had just added the umbral trial so a good couple years ago, no new weapons since all the way back then apart from ones made of parts of new monsters, but no new unique weapons no new types of weapon, nothing but more ways to spend money on the game for years
This update makes sniffing powdered fiberglass sound more appealing. I can’t believe that they took away all my weapons and nerfed the few I get to keep to the ground. Everything I had before is gone or meaningless. I will never invest my time money and energy on a phoenix labs game again.
I would always come back to this game and binge it for a while then stop and come back over the years. I am now confident that I will never play this game again.
I love having all my progress since it was first available on xbox years ago just stripped away, with hardly any guide on how to get situated with the new update, mainly weapons which took me like 3 hours to realize oh its a lootbox mechanic. And its 10x the grind for -10x the payout. Along with building seems harder to do. Like no matter what i do currently i have 2 active perks and 5-10 then are nothing but waste of space on my screen
New gen = More people Old gen = broken legacy Medium gen: Hopeless people Phoenix labs: wants to be given good reviews because of how hard they worked on the awakening update
I remember playing Dauntless when everyone were waiting for Monster Hunter World PC premiere. Unironically, the game played so well in my opinion that I seriously struggled when switching to MHW. To this day, I remember when I finally managed to grind every single one exotic item, such a great grindfest. Making OP hammer/sword builds, helping low lvl players who were struggling with their first Ragetail Gnasher hunt and just enjoying the ride with other guild mates - it was all great. Sucks to see what happened after this game switched to Epic launcher, wasted potential.
kinda funny how monster hunter used to have this perk point system where you had to hit a threshold to activate the skill, after 20 years of games they dont have that anymore, dauntless is going backwards. No better advert for wilds exist, dauntless is actively pushing players to wilds right before it releases nice
How are they so disconnected with the community, make people grind so much to get max mastery then change it to prestige grind even more for that then change it. And what they give us a crown?
I think the best way to describe this update is: the Devs don't respect the players time I was hoping to the game to be better, is like they tried to be more like MH with the armors and perks, but failed on what build crafting on MH works, and what made build crafting on Dauntless be more accessible and fun I hope they do something or this will be the end for Dauntless
I get that, but wouldn't you at least wanna make your game more appealing? They literally made it harder to get anything resembling a build (skills frequently require more points to put on, and less points will come from cells), they limited the amount of customizations with weapons (I loved lightweight haft in the axe), and limited the total number of weapons. How did they think that this would be a good idea?
Its absolute chaos Starting my Journey forced to do shit quest to unlock another islands...took me like 40 mins.. Wathcing the white cells system made more confusing than ever.. Getting build took me 2h Upgrading gear another 1h Bugged out Behemots and combat. Absolutely nightmare... i had some like 10m coins so it helped fast proces but for somebody new the struggle will be really real.
I would say that if they wanted to make unique movesets, give it to the legendaries and exotics, and then leave the normal weapons with a normal basekit
Removed weapons and put some behind pay wall Cell system is bs Hunt pass goss to 50 now instead of 100 giving less items and doesn't give any plat back There is definitely more but hey ggs to them the past 2 years they really thought to remove more stuff than add more to a already good working game. Also disappointing how so many people are backing these changes in the discord almost like they got paid off to like it😅
@godzblaze5171 No actually 70-80% of people were against the update and were blasting in dauntless chat and a few were making very bad points about the update being good and others saying this is the best update to ever hit the game which is complete delusion But yes you are right anywhere you look about 80% of the community hate the update
I remember playing this game religiously since launch back then. (PS4) I was hoping this update would make me download it again, but it hasn’t. I’m thankful for this video, and it’ll remain off my hard drive. Just became too stale and dry after years of playing it. I’ll just play MH Wilds when that releases or Wild Hearts, which I still need to beat. (Bit rough sometimes but enjoyable) It makes me sad that a game I used to enjoy begins to die, or is dying.
They had THREE YEARS to fix the crazy soft and hard caps and make the game fun to min max Game developers: Are we out of touch? No! It is the gamers who are wrong!
Ive played dauntless since about 6months after release, i was lowkey a little hyped for this update but ive never felt so disappointed by a game/gamedevs since the time EA got greedy with loot oxes in battlefront 2. Im gonna have to add this game to the shelfs of memories in my brain this game is so done and dead.... 😮💨😞
I hate how they removed cells and most weapons also reforge levels i grinded to garbage kinda sucks but things I do like is having 2 weapons at once. Upgrading weapons and having the infusion and talent for the blacksmith is dope. Overall sucks they removed more than what they added but in the other sense we can flex our transmogs HARDCORE XD
This update was soul crushing...I played dauntless a soon as it was avalible on ps4... Each "major" update took away more than it gave and forced the game to be even more grindy... And the biggest insult to it all was how often they asked from player feedback... We told them what we wanted then they laughed, kicked us into the dirt and farted in our face to prove a point... And this is just unexcusable... A 50 dollar skin... Helldivers was 40... A fully reaslized 8 years in the making game was 10 dollars cheaper... Not to mention its skins are about 5 while dauntless thinks 10 dollars is low... This level of preditory microtrasanctions only exsists to bully the ligitimatly mentaly challenged and addicts... We prop up the game any longer and we insult our own dignity... Im tired... Was looking for a good chance to delete... Stealing all my weapons is a good reason. Bye dauntless I miss what you were....
The old dauntless was dying realy bad, besides some regular players that never left. This is like the third revival they tried to pull out to save the game from closing
The game would of been fine if they made good choices. This is the result of realizing they can't make good choices and going the route of making the game pay 2 win to squeeze the last penny out of players.
@OhDough yeah that could be true, but im no realy sure this is the Best way to get money from the playerbase either. This make me miss wildhearts more.
They didnt add anything new on the contrary they just re organized what we had and removed or locked somethings behind paywalls or extensive grind to make it feel "new" I want to give them the chance and think they were forced to make the game so hard in microtransactions or simply they want to get some money before it dies in any way they can think of, instead of making the game fun to play its pay to play
I'm really confused on everything they did on the cell system and how you can't simply unequip cells cuz they get destroyed. Also the game is extremly laggy for some reason, this is on a ps5 wich could run this game very smoothly prior to the update.
Updated the game just to see over a year worth of progress just gone. My builds are completely ruined, and the weapons that I farmed multiple days or even weeks for are just gone.
Tried playing the update but most stuff is more confusing, quality went down for like the elemental icons and most things, cells are even more confusing now, bounties are even more important, the hunting ground selection is UGLY as well like i was looking firward to this update so much too😭
I'm in the same boat, haven't played since the umbrella escalation was added but Holy hell this game went to shit, I mean a pay wall FOR WEAPONS is ridiculous
i really tried to be optimistic about this update but it’s just not it. it doesn’t have the same dauntless vibe it used to have, even the ramsgate feels off. i hope the devs have a revelation cuz their about to lose all of their players
this might be the worst title update in the history of video games, not being hyperbolic. I don't have words to describe entirely how terrible everything is. I was really excited to try this and now I just want the old Dauntless back. Here is hoping they just reverse all of the changes, because holy cow, what a disaster.
If someone needs fps fix, since game settings doesn't work properly, they are there: X:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Archon\Saved\Config\WindowsClient\GameUserSettings.ini Make a file backup, in case you break something and change them as you like. Resolution quality can be dropped to 50 which feels like old low settings, but somehow more washed out. (Maybe even 25, haven't tested) Other properties can be dropped to 0 if you want, but keep view distance high, it's important for gameplay, otherwise you just won't see projectiles \ lasers and such.
Any notice wills had a white or black beard now it's blonde and if you got down to Greg they given him rainbow coloured collars instead of glittering black collars
I was very excited for the update. Not sure how I feel about them reseting all my progress tho... I do hope that the game goes in a more positive direction cause its getting a lot of hate right now and understandably so.
Tried to log in while forgetting they did this update then almost immediately closed the game after. Not fond of this update and its changes. The lack of players Im seeing in ramsgate as soon as i get in seems to agree.
its a real shame you got me to wanna hop on and i was enjoying the game even got my friend to hop on and he was set to make a crazy build, but this update removed all want to get on it. Even the weapon have cool ideas but now you are stuck using what they gave you and tokens unless you spend money there no real way to get a new weapon, they made the free hunt pass not even worth doing woohoo you get 25 weapon token at the end when you need 100 and the week challenge gives you 10 and there only 6 week of them (idk if you get more than 10 but even so the weekly challenge if it only 10 you can get that 60 + the 25 you get from hunt pass 85 can't even buy a new weapon with what they given you)
they should have removed the reforging mechanic and added the weapon swap, pets, new behemoth, new island and even the new exotic weapons. And lastly, they should not have touched the cell mechanic that we had. this would have been good enough to introduce new players and make old ones come back.
Yea I just got off for the last time it’s soo much worse all the game needed was more levels. I played years and years, not as a main but as a chill couch game . Just lost a good game.
Man I hate this update. Everything I had is now lost, you have none of the cool special and I don't see a way to get them. The main story is dry, it's basically get to level 10,20,30, etc. The perk system is AWFUL, it's so hard to build and the amount they require to even be active is unreasonable. Guess it's time to leave for good
STEAM GOT 15% positive, what happened to dauntless, i quit before hunting ground where there, playing for 2 weeks with all the "old systems" before the update, but that one holy moly i stick to POE2 for now and other games i got (BBR, HD2) maybe if ohdough does some more dauntless content i look into it again :3
Over a year wait for a worst version of the game. Lootboxes galore, removing previously held content to shove them into the stores at ABSURD prices. Performance is worst. Build crafting is worst. Progress basically got FULLY reset, all aside from cosmetics (which by the way most got removed too). Every single aspect of this update is made the game worst... and the worst part is that some higher up, alongside the Devs, thought this was all a good idea. When someone says glazing isn't that bad of a thing, show them this game. This is the results of unimpeded glazing, when echos in a echo chamber grow too loud. It's been fun Dauntless but now it's time to put you out to pasture. Thanks PHX Labs, money grabbing mobile sucking trogs.
Why does it matter if you're being negative about the game? Are you supposed to be happy when a company makes horrible decisions and continues to somehow make a game worse and worse with each patch? I think this has to be one of, if not THE worst UI I have ever seen in any game to this date. But I should be happy about that? It's such a weird cope. Anything you dislike about anything should be stated, otherwise how are they meant to improve. Now, them listening, well that is sadly never going to happen, as proven by the decline of the game and them yet again making the game somehow even worse. Btw, it did show you where to go, it's on the compass
I appreciate that Dough is brutally honest about stuff. So many content creators will dance around the elephant in the room before finally admitting to problems.
@@berserkerpride To be fair, I can understand with some companies why that happens, Phoenix Labs being one of them. They take criticism as an attack against themselves and so CC's can lose benefits they have because of it. I forgot the channel because I stopped keeping up with Dauntless along time ago, but this happened to the trials dude when there was going to be a big content drop and he spoke negatively about it. But there's alot of people just glazing alot of theses companies even though there's no risk to actually speaking their mind about the game. If you point out an issue, it can get fixed/improved/whatever. But people just want to eat shit and enjoy it these days sadly
Yeah, not gonna lie...it is pretty uninspiring. It should have been so much more. Expectations (or rather what was promised): Each weapon of the same class will feel more unique (if I remember correctly at some point it was even said that they will have different move sets as well). Reality: Weapon customization and lanterns were removed, so you've lost build variety. And most (if not all) "new" weapons are a mish-mash of already existing abilities and passives. Heck, the only unique move-set (as far as I can tell) is that of Hunger...and that is literally just the old sword combos, so not even that is new...
This update is the greatest advertisement for Monster Hunter 😂😂😂
I find it impressive that they've removed more content with this update than they added in the last 3 years
This update really put the final nail in the coffin for this game. I was so excited to
the loot boxes are legally not allowed because they’re on the global market by the way.
They gave old sword moveset to "The Hunger". Absolutely ridiculous.
Ye I was so confused white playing it and its hard to fight cause as so low almost 0 as with those new cell system..
yea i hate it. i liked the hunger for its mobility and resounding echo was fire
I really hope they recognize the severe backlash that this update has brought, and do something about it. In the official discord server, it's a battle field, everyone hates it, and devs had said nothing yet. I hope this isn't the end, I've spent too much time and had too much fun for this game to just be washed away in one big update
there’s pretty much just one dev right now, and this dev is unable to handle criticism in any positive way
They haven’t done anything about criticism or backlash for years now, unfortunately I don’t think they’ll start now. It happened when the first major full game rework happened, and for some reason they don’t understand we just want the original game back, without the whole reforge system, and to bring back hunts for individual behemoths instead of the endless hunting grounds
@@trevordoherty6560 There’s a reason they never want to go back to the old, good formula; money. It’s easier to make the game repeatedly worse, bank on player good will for the ‘next big update’ while slowly chipping away at the F2P aspect. Removal of cosmetics from the battlepass into a paid only one, removal of platinum as well, so now you have two battle passes you gave to buy.
Now you don’t have your slayer vault for free, old cosmetics anymore and paired with a loot box. I’m sure the store has plenty amount of new skins. I would check if I had the game downloaded.
I hope they do a rollback, reforge was great.
@@mmoportal.officialNah roll all the way back to old school Dauntless
fun is fading quickly, most weapons consist of spamming one button and dodging
Yeee, lanterns added another button on a short timer. The game has regressed in terms of it's pace ever since they nerfed attack speed pre-reforge
I legit logged in the other day to try this out, saw practically everything gutted out for a soulless shell and uninstalled. Took all of five minutes to realize this ain't dauntless anymore.
3k+ hours to the trash 🗣
True
Straight up
So ur telling me, after all that grinding to get the Legendary weapons, was for nothing? AND GRINDING FOR THE SILVER SWORD ONLY FOR IT TO BE REDUCED TO THE DEFAULT SWORD
It's over, my guy. Bought out by a Crypto company, this game was swapped around to be one final cash grab before closing it out for good. Hoping people spend money to get their weapons back, before shuttering the game. This is the best example of regression in video game, that I've ever seen. It went from being a complete experience, to this weird pre-alpha feeling nonsense. Absolute shame.
Source?
@couldntbemebro022 For what? That they were acquired by Forte Crypto? Look up Phoenix Labs parent company. They were acquired in secret.
@@couldntbemebro022 the litteral fucking game.
@@couldntbemebro022they’ll shut it down because they killed their remaining player base with this trash ass update
@@Its_Vendettahopefully they do. Current game state is depressing to watch they killed the game with this update.
Remember when they said they will add new weapon ? Yeah i remember that . That was before reforge.
And they proceed to take away all weapons and leave 18.
That was right after the pistols got added and they thought the pistols were god tier weapons.
they teased it, never made any promises oof
Dude I last consistently played when they had just added the umbral trial so a good couple years ago, no new weapons since all the way back then apart from ones made of parts of new monsters, but no new unique weapons no new types of weapon, nothing but more ways to spend money on the game for years
Played since closed beta
Quit during reforge
Came back to see the new update
Never uninstall a game this fast in my life
Nah literally same with me. I haven’t touched the game in months. All that time and fun has just been completely spat on
This update makes sniffing powdered fiberglass sound more appealing. I can’t believe that they took away all my weapons and nerfed the few I get to keep to the ground. Everything I had before is gone or meaningless. I will never invest my time money and energy on a phoenix labs game again.
jesus christ lmao
I would always come back to this game and binge it for a while then stop and come back over the years. I am now confident that I will never play this game again.
I hope and pray an update like this doesn't happen to warframe
No worry Digital Extreme isn't like Phoenix lab :D.
Warframe is safe 🙏
nah warframe always been good, hopefully never sells out
I love having all my progress since it was first available on xbox years ago just stripped away, with hardly any guide on how to get situated with the new update, mainly weapons which took me like 3 hours to realize oh its a lootbox mechanic.

The yes-men on reddit are hard at work coping already over the "good things" the update brought
How are they so disconnected with the community, make people grind so much to get max mastery then change it to prestige grind even more for that then change it. And what they give us a crown?

The weapon changes were cool, but customization became far more limited, and it's no fun. What were they thinking.

@Ima9ineBreak3r From the product that came out, I don't think any of them are capable of thinking like that
the twin suns dash thing is a bug, sometimes it will shoot the bombs but its rare af
i was so excited for this update ;-;
The progression time gated by bounties is wiiiiild.
Its absolute chaos
Starting my Journey forced to do shit quest to unlock another islands...took me like 40 mins..
Wathcing the white cells system made more confusing than ever..
Getting build took me 2h
Upgrading gear another 1h
Bugged out Behemots and combat.
Absolutely nightmare... i had some like 10m coins so it helped fast proces but for somebody new the struggle will be really real.
Do you have any idea where Shrowd went ?? I do not find him anymore after enduring this hell for 5h to unlock all islands.
I would say that if they wanted to make unique movesets, give it to the legendaries and exotics, and then leave the normal weapons with a normal basekit
Removed weapons and put some behind pay wall
Cell system is bs
Hunt pass goss to 50 now instead of 100 giving less items and doesn't give any plat back
There is definitely more but hey ggs to them the past 2 years they really thought to remove more stuff than add more to a already good working game.
Also disappointing how so many people are backing these changes in the discord almost like they got paid off to like it😅
on discord they are happy? damn everywhere i look ( reddit , youtube , steam ) majority of poeple are mad about the changes
Discord paid actors before GTA VI 👁👄👁

If only we didn't make weapons and armor overpowered for builds, then the game wouldn't become this way.
What a shame, I was actually hyped to stick my toe back in after the update, now I think I'll just stay out of the water
When you upgraded the axe you used more than 500 behemoths worth of mats
well dauntless goes deeper into the dirt
An hour within playing I got stuck under the map 10 times
They had THREE YEARS to fix the crazy soft and hard caps and make the game fun to min max
Game developers: Are we out of touch? No! It is the gamers who are wrong!
Try using both repeaters you will notice a cool thing. Switch to umbral repeaters back to back can get u a lot of damage and dodge is easy.

I was very excited for the update. Not sure how I feel about them reseting all my progress tho...
I do hope that the game goes in a more positive direction cause its getting a lot of hate right now and understandably so.
Tried to log in while forgetting they did this update then almost immediately closed the game after. Not fond of this update and its changes. The lack of players Im seeing in ramsgate as soon as i get in seems to agree.
😐….Sooo anyway there’s this game called Warframe that’s about to drop an update I think I’m just gonna stick with that
Wise move
Fuck this shit I’m going back to warfare
Lowkey hyped for that, i lost all my 4 years of progress on fucking dauntless. Not opening this shit again, hopefully Cyte-09 treats me better
honestly heartbreaking to see what this game has become, it feels at every chance they had the wrong choice was made
You can invest in talents for the twin suns you can buff aspects of the weapons
bro so you are saying i got all exited for this update seing the you can hold two weapon thing to just loss all my progress and restarte the game
this breaks my heart, i really really hoped it would be good
Happy Thoughts. Love Dough ❤
Re-downloaded dauntless before awakening to get back into it after a long time glad i got to play before the game died RIP dauntless
Nice to see you back dude!
I’ve played since launch day. I don’t know if I can anymore
its a real shame you got me to wanna hop on and i was enjoying the game even got my friend to hop on and he was set to make a crazy build, but this update removed all want to get on it. Even the weapon have cool ideas but now you are stuck using what they gave you and tokens unless you spend money there no real way to get a new weapon, they made the free hunt pass not even worth doing woohoo you get 25 weapon token at the end when you need 100 and the week challenge gives you 10 and there only 6 week of them (idk if you get more than 10 but even so the weekly challenge if it only 10 you can get that 60 + the 25 you get from hunt pass 85 can't even buy a new weapon with what they given you)
I play Minecraft currently, not the new one, the one where they don't have the Microsoft in it.
Yeah. With the old nether and no enderman spawning? That type.
I had so many weapons prior to the update, am I crazy that some are missing?
No they all got removed besides the exotic weapons. And turned into FUCKING COSMETICS
they should have removed the reforging mechanic and added the weapon swap, pets, new behemoth, new island and even the new exotic weapons. And lastly, they should not have touched the cell mechanic that we had. this would have been good enough to introduce new players and make old ones come back.
Yea I just got off for the last time it’s soo much worse all the game needed was more levels. I played years and years, not as a main but as a chill couch game . Just lost a good game.
This update literally made me delete the game month of progress gone fk tht
Hey atleast you lost a month or a few months instead of years like a lot of players😅
@veihe9528 i typed months but it auto correct
@veihe9528 iv been playing since launch
Is not the progression wipe that make me mad is the pay wall, cell change and "unique weapon" that make me mad
@@nabelias8991 fr plus those "unique" weapons are recycled abilities or even fucking lantern abilities.
Before watching the video I thought the text in the thumbnail was serious, I was very confused about what actually made you hopeful here.
Weapon swapping sounded fun and it is. But even that has some lame drawbacks
Man I hate this update. Everything I had is now lost, you have none of the cool special and I don't see a way to get them. The main story is dry, it's basically get to level 10,20,30, etc. The perk system is AWFUL, it's so hard to build and the amount they require to even be active is unreasonable. Guess it's time to leave for good
5k hours, I had every single sword of the game to the MAX, and still, now I have only 2 swords and no bonus for the efforts 😉😉👌👌
i like old system better. :(
STEAM GOT 15% positive, what happened to dauntless, i quit before hunting ground where there, playing for 2 weeks with all the "old systems" before the update, but that one holy moly
i stick to POE2 for now and other games i got (BBR, HD2) maybe if ohdough does some more dauntless content i look into it again :3
Hello, for a new play what are the best weapon types to start with?
Do not even try game is trash already...
Play something else
i can't even recommend anything because not every weapon is viable for anything in the game.
Dauntless < Monster hunter
It used to be my favorite game until this updated came. They ruined the weapons and armor they are soo weak and I put almost all my time in this games
And now it took my heart because of this cursed updated
Never my favorite but I did love this game before this AYYUSSS update
So you have to buy weapons with real life money? 0/10
Looks like I’ll be downloading Wild Hearts and praying my PC doesn’t burn out on me 😂
Haven’t played wild hearts in a while but it’s really fun
It’s genuinely just sad to see. I don’t even want to shit on it it’s just pitiful
Need to bring back grim onslaught
This is an 1:17:00 ad for WHY NOT to play the new update or just Dauntless in general.
Over a year wait for a worst version of the game. Lootboxes galore, removing previously held content to shove them into the stores at ABSURD prices. Performance is worst. Build crafting is worst. Progress basically got FULLY reset, all aside from cosmetics (which by the way most got removed too). Every single aspect of this update is made the game worst... and the worst part is that some higher up, alongside the Devs, thought this was all a good idea. When someone says glazing isn't that bad of a thing, show them this game. This is the results of unimpeded glazing, when echos in a echo chamber grow too loud. It's been fun Dauntless but now it's time to put you out to pasture. Thanks PHX Labs, money grabbing mobile sucking trogs.
This update is 100% a cash grab. Idk if phoenix labs is shutting down or selling off.
@@OhDough shutting down let's be honest, this update was a kick in the nuts.
Omg what kinda mobile game have they turned this into? 😭
Im not happy but oh dough the bombs work when they want to
Why does it matter if you're being negative about the game? Are you supposed to be happy when a company makes horrible decisions and continues to somehow make a game worse and worse with each patch? I think this has to be one of, if not THE worst UI I have ever seen in any game to this date. But I should be happy about that? It's such a weird cope. Anything you dislike about anything should be stated, otherwise how are they meant to improve. Now, them listening, well that is sadly never going to happen, as proven by the decline of the game and them yet again making the game somehow even worse.
Btw, it did show you where to go, it's on the compass
I appreciate that Dough is brutally honest about stuff.
So many content creators will dance around the elephant in the room before finally admitting to problems.
@@berserkerpride To be fair, I can understand with some companies why that happens, Phoenix Labs being one of them. They take criticism as an attack against themselves and so CC's can lose benefits they have because of it. I forgot the channel because I stopped keeping up with Dauntless along time ago, but this happened to the trials dude when there was going to be a big content drop and he spoke negatively about it. But there's alot of people just glazing alot of theses companies even though there's no risk to actually speaking their mind about the game. If you point out an issue, it can get fixed/improved/whatever. But people just want to eat shit and enjoy it these days sadly
Yeah like you said if they really listen we shouldn't reach to this point.
Yeah, not gonna lie...it is pretty uninspiring. It should have been so much more.
Expectations (or rather what was promised): Each weapon of the same class will feel more unique (if I remember correctly at some point it was even said that they will have different move sets as well).
Reality: Weapon customization and lanterns were removed, so you've lost build variety. And most (if not all) "new" weapons are a mish-mash of already existing abilities and passives.
Heck, the only unique move-set (as far as I can tell) is that of Hunger...and that is literally just the old sword combos, so not even that is new...
So umm can anyone tell me that what happened to my old weapons?
Like are they gone forever or are they locked behind some quest or something?😢
Yeah they are behind stoopid quests
I quit.
