Pheonix Labs was bought out and the new leadership cancelled a promising game just before it released & this is the update dauntless gets after years without meaningful content. If Phoenix Labs doesn’t get sold or disbanded I’d be shocked. I doubt they’ll revert much if anything in this update, it’s clear they’re chasing player retention through abysmal grinding and providing some ways to lessen the grind with money. I was looking forward to playing dauntless again but that game is gone and I don’t see it coming back. Thanks for watching

what happened to dauntless

Ded game 😮
This is why I don't play liveservice games anymore. The devs are always one bad update away from ruining everything.
It's tragicomic that the game was better when I played it, back when it had its own launcher. I'm honestly impressed how epicly they failed.
It is just sad seeing fumble the game 2 times when the bigger game is around the corner, MH World and Wilds respectively
Monster Hunter but you can't craft the three weapons in the game (you can buy them from the real money cash shop) and upgrading them is done via arbitrary tokens the highest tier of which is locked behind battlepass progression and the other ones would require a lifetime of grinding even disregarding the in game currency gating the special hunts that reward you with those weaker tokens… probably the least compelling sales pitch I've ever heard for a game. Why in the world would you ever play this?
yea this game should be dead, me and my SO got the game to get back into it for the new update only for this vile thing to come out. its so sad to see games heading down this hole of greed. lets hope marvel rivals doesnt head into the same way
Feel like they just tried to get this update out before monster hunter wilds just to try to squeeze the last amount of money out of the player base
If your looking for a new game, try Warframe! A big new update is coming very soon, the games in a great place, the cash shop isnt egregious, and the devs take feedback and listen to the comunity
Damn it really seems like they wanted to milk out the player base before monster hunter wilds comes out.
why does this reek of playing into sunk cost fallacy?
some time ago a company bought a TCG (not so sure what company and what game) and to get their money back they released a new set of cards with a new effect that, when observed closely, essentially meant "is immune to all cards released before this set". on paper, they thought players would now buy loads more cards to stay competitive.
but the thing with sunk cost fallacy is the commitment already put in. if you dont have that comittment, youre gonna quit. and what both that company back then and dauntless now did is render most of the time and money put in essentially worthless. which makes it oh so much easier to say "eh. now might be the best time to call it." and stop.
its ironic really. companies will hire psychologists to make a game and their monetization as attractive as possible, yet fail to understand this simple part of human behavior.
I love the monster hunter franchise
Dauntless was on a downward path from Day 1.
The devs were out of touch since very beginning, lies, backpedals on previous promises, the idiot community manager that is entirely out of touch with reality, the dogshit decisions, it was over from Day 1. I regret having backed the game from that very start and having hope that they still somehow turn a new leaf.
I was willing to give this game aanotehr try, now I think is best I just wait for Monsyer Hunter Wilds
I stopped playing around the time they added an expedition style mission and a huge ui change that was more flashy than understandable. To know my progress got reset and the game ended up like this is sad but it’s to be expected when games like these love to put things behind shops and stuff
They should just revert. The game is dead without a revert.
ah yes dauntless, the game that i played because i was hyped for monster hunter world but I didn't have the money to buy the game back then.
Grind fest
I remember when dauntless was playable for the first time. Me and some friends played it, each leaning to our favorite weapons and elements. Me mainly playing to help describe how a battle with an owlbear would feel for my dnd games (shriek legit just an owlbear) and then we stopped playing. We tried to play recently and it just… felt wrong. Idk, the game just didnt feel right
I knew in the first week this game came out it would just be a worse version of monster hunter with microtransactions
So what im seeing is the already kinda lackluster monster hunter competetor got greedy, and chose to make the game pretty much pay to progress as opposed to simply making the game better
Wait, so did they scrap all of the original weapons and limited them to a select few?
Wish they wouldve done a public beta test to see if ppl liked these new shite systems/nerfs
RIP
Am I correct on this? Back then the game was basically just monster hunter, nothing wrong with that, in fact I think it would've been good for those who want to get into monster hunter type games with out being clobbered by over and over again by a monkey. Then they changed it where the behemoths just spawned like mobs so i didn't feel like monster hunter, only a hack and slash. Now I'm not sure if the entire game was like that as I was a noob when I came to that discovery, but I wasn't going to find out because I was so put off by it, I love the gameplay of going against what FEELS like a real behemoth, it's big and can swat you around very easily so you have to be smart and patient with attacks.
I'll keep singing this to the hills because maybe some dev out there will listen. Unreal Engine 5 is not ready for widespread adoption! The performance issues the game is having now is not exclusive to Dauntless, every UE5 game I've played has been riddled with them! A lot of these UE5 games rely heavily on frame generation to even be playable now (Mechwarrior 5: Clans, the Monster Hunter Wilds demo). Phoenix Labs made a really poor decision with the swap.
Started playing because I was too broke for monster hunter half a decade ago and was HOOKED. Now that I can afford to play monster hunter games, Thank god I made the switch
i played this game with 2 friends and my brother on launch, all night long, it was also my birthday, it was very fun, but after a week we quit. Looking at it now is crazy
Ok, so I moved to Dauntless from WOW, because Wow had become Pay to WIn. In Dauntless I lliked the WarPike and got it to lvl 71. Now I'm grinding again and can't do things I used to complete with know-how and strategy, because I have a nerfed warpike, and only some of the new game matches the old. Also, more often than not when I finish an event, Trial, etc rather than just the hunting grounds, I get kicked out of the system or the frame hangs and I have to go through log in again. If Dauntless forces me to either pay to level my weapon and gear, or forces me to play with others in the brief time I now get to play, instead of following my own path….can anyone suggest a game I can run on my crap ideapad with a worse memory than my nan, which may fit this bill
Dude monster hunter world is only 7$ play the real game
This game is literally Walmart version of Monster Hunter… gents play monster hunter world, Rise and older generations of capcom games till monster hunter wilds comes out. It’s gonna be the best yet. Far better than this disgusting game…
At least Monster Hunter Wilds is not too far from releasing, and paying for that game gets you way more content than wasting money in this joke… It is sad to look at how things are because I used to enjoy Dauntless a lot
I keep getting told good stuff is happening and then I see this… I knew it was a downhill slope but wow did it slam down. Over several different updates it already felt like "not the same game" but this is probably the last nail in the coffin, which is weirdly full of nails already
How can you destroy the loop: hunt-craft-hunt, apparently you can…
I genuinely can't believe that this is what it's turned into. Like honestly, this new system is a joke. And I'm certainly not launching the game after the new update. I don't care. I don't log into the new update. They can see that I don't support it.
#REVERT THE CHANGES.
With monster hunter wilds coming in about 2 months, I fear this game has truly died. Sucks too I enjoyed it
they dropped the awakening update to make all the players move to Monster Hunter Wilds, how kind of them
I saw there was a new update so i reinstalled. Seeing everything gone hurt
i've long moved from dauntless and moved to the monster hunter franchise dauntless has been dead for a long time now
i played it a bit on release and i was planning to get into it after the update… nope, i'm good!
Devs really saw what Monster Hunter wilds is doing & thought " well, we can't compete globally with that, so instead of keeping our current player base we will get all the money possible before they leave for wilds" instead of just keeping the game good for players to enjoy the game. Which in turn actually brings in new players
I hadn't kept up any news of dauntless, all i heard was that it came out on steam and my god i got so excited! I opened and saw the reviews, read new "update" and i got so devastated seeing this… Dauntless dying wasnt on my bingo card for the year… and i would love if they just backed off with these changes instead of dobling down on them
i was so excited to play this game again after remembering it, i hop on and have nothing i was confused, i knew there was a update i just didn't know it reset everything. this game is a remnant of what it once was and i'm never touching the child hood game of mine, again.
This vid is such a load of bull
I hated the Reforge update of made a majority of the players leave
I've never played this game, but i vaguely remember seeing it years ago.
AND I STILL FEEL BAD seeing this
At least we have MH Wilds to look forward to.
Guys, just play Monster Hunter
