Dauntless: Awakening - Twin Suns & Living Branch Build

[@larryjeff]

Update: Removed all the weapons, added few new ones in the Store. Each weapon is 100 tokens u get 500. So u get 5 weapons which you have to buy if you want to test, there is no first try then buy. Years in development and this is the result? Steam reviews are absolutely right

[@novAviator01]

You ONLY get 500 if you had almost all weapons power surged or crafted more casual player probably only got 100 or 200

[@rugino3614]

I know the state of the game and by extension, the community may not be at the best state right now, but thanks for uploading a build guid in the middle of all this. I wanted to get a picture of what a proper build would look like in the new update, and also see a relative power level comparision between a good build back then and a good build now. Since I was a new player before the update (Only had 5 reforges total), I was not in a position to get a feel in the difference in power of an endgame build, and I sadly didn't get a chance to play and test things out myself. So this perspective has been very valuable to me to understand things better. Regardless of how the game is doing, thank you for doing what you do, Mr. Rowlet man.

@Blek1703 you can't be defending the game right now, we got nefted and that's facts, I'm not saying we should be 1 shotting, I'm saying we should be able to at least have the option like before to a certain extent

[@Blek1703]

@@Tea_PBH ahh WE need a little buff yea true Look at escalations damage 👍 Killing Monsters in Like 5 seconds ...

[@FadLoop]

​@@Blek1703 I personally agree with the escalation bosses. Back before the update, key behemoths were just to easy to kill even for low-medium skilled players and it was a bit boring...For me, this update has potentiel to bring some interesting features, but they mostly need to fix desync issues tho. I see a lot of people complaining cause they feel "weaker" now, well my only source of challenge and fun before was the heroic escalations so it's not that now I guess

[@bonetodesfall]

Seeing that you've grinded the update quite a bit already, what are your thoughts on the update as a whole as a long time player?

[@Pro_Edgelord]

I've been playing since before malkarion. This is not an update, it's a downgrade. We have way less build freedom. Stacks make everything more complicated than it was before. They took away all my weapons and forced me to buy an axe. There is no progression because you already get all the weapons from the start. I could go on and on but I'll just uninstall

[@wosxq]

The fact that all the enemies are laggy makes me not want to play. bug+bug+bug.

[@seanbruno8396]

Absolutely horrible update, not even a question

[@bok4822]

@Pro_Edgelord I personally believe that over time, due to the more unique weapons they are planning on releasing, we might overall have way more build diversity _in the future_. That is, if the game ever gets to that point after the sheer tragedy this update was.

[@kikstoka4163]

@Pro_EdgelordAs a pretty new player, I agree with this, I probably have about 50 hours total, pre update, and now everything feels so weird, I just hope that they keep adding more weapons to give the game back some resemblance of its original weapon variety

[@lelouchlamperougevibritann5414]

Weapon talents or did I miss something? Sorry just coming back and here they are changing stuff again

[@craigfunk3453]

I think they could've kept more of the cell slots....losing the weapon slots, the lantern slot, AND a slot each on the helm and gloves? We've gone from 11 slots to 6 slots, and some armor just isnt safe to use because of skills with rather nasty negatives (like fire and reduce). If fire damage is still rather nasty (especially in heroic escalations and dauntless trials) than the major nerf to Molten is a severe hit (1 heart every 35 seconds? And you cant even pick it up if you are at your current speed stacks cap?) Heres my hopes for potential decent builds going forward; parasitic builds (looks like kharabak and Karkanos are the options that have parasitic not paired with something negative like reduce) A bastion shields heavy build (great in most escalations once you reach the terra amp unlock at the end of the escalatiom trees for the shrapnel amp) Maybe some other revenant builds? I usually pair it with some shield generation and parasitic (sucks for new players that revenant is in the gauntlet mode shop) but with the issues im running into with most behemoths (laggy, teleporting, even invisible hitboxes that dont match the current animations a behemoth does) revenant is just too dangerous when you cant even see what to dodge in most fights

[@CheesE_BurgeR_MaN__]

I think that even though this update isnt the best, i feel like theyll prolly rework some thing and try to bring back a balance between monetization and the f2p but right now they just dont want people to get EVERY weapon to early which does make sense and the fact that even though i dont agree with many of the chanves, its still getting me back into playing dauntless because its still something new.

[@Ciganzchanova69]

Finaly someone who doesn't crap on the update and actually enjoys it

[@DuskYokai]

I wouldnt expect it tbh. 1 of the devs had a whole yap session in discord about "capitalism bad" as the reason everything cost so much

[@Silver_Salvation]

Why does it make sense to not get the weapons? Its a monster hunting game, without weapons there is no point in it. Also even if we had access to weapons it would take months just to level up a single one to maximum without paying.

[@CheesE_BurgeR_MaN__]

@@Silver_Salvation im not saying i agree with the weapon thing but from a game design perspective if there where only like 3 weapons in a monzter hunting game then there wouldnt be as much of a reason to play, also me and my friend both agree thry need to AT LEAST double the xp gained from things, im fully assuming and hoping that in the future theyll do events where we get a bunch of coins or they start giving platinum and more coins in the hunt pass free

[@craigfunk3453]

He's not anywhere near a capped gearset in this. But players got some recompense for progress made in reforged before the awakening update, up to 500 weapon tokens, 60 peerless aetherite (enough to send a weapon to around lvl 50) and the weapons and armor that were carried over start at lvl 10. So any rams he had along with behemoth parts allowed him to quickly upgrade some armor to lvl 15 (armor cap is 20, weapon cap is 60) to get this basic 'starter build' functioning for returning players

[@-CrySa-]

People are hating but I generally like the concepts in the update. Having less weapons but them being more unique, and having more permanent progression for weapons is great. The buildcrafting system I still need more time with. My only big issue with the update is how many things are bugged in some way and the performance issues. (the weapons being available for real money is also iffy but I'm not too worried as long as they are available for free with a reasonable grind) But yeah after some playtime my biggest takeaway is "omg I actually have things to work towards now I love this", I think way too many people just decided to quit on first impressions.

[@Luke-ek2pd]

So you are happy because now you can "work towards something" you already had before, they took away from your inventory and locked behind a pay wall? You are basically grinding to get to where you were before the update but with way less build options...

[@-CrySa-]

@@Luke-ek2pd In terms of power compared to the behemoths? Yes, I'm working towards where I already was. I really don't mind. The gameplay was already fun, now it's even more fun because of weapon swapping and the new stuff for the weapons.

Its funny most people wanted something to do in Dauntless so a New Update drops and people are mad there is too much grinding to do... Is this update Bad: Yes and No... Its great because it gets rid of the Reforge aspect of the game... any and all Upgrades are permanent until the Devs remake the game again...lol Its Kind of bad in the fact that builds are Strange... the game caters to NOBODY as new players will struggle with surviving with the strange way to make builds... Cells are destroyed so there is no incentive to experiment and players wont want to risk destroying cells...(not the intended effect I'm sure) Veterans will complain as the way to make a build is complex and not intuitive, and we got to unlock all the stuff we had access to a few days ago... Honestly I do not understand Phoenix Labs, you have Content Creators and Players and we have voice out opinions for years... what we want, more weapons, and monsters to fight, Sky fishing, real pets, Mounts, and variety (this Update didn't bring more variety we actually lost some) Before Update most people used Tough/Tenacious Build with ice born... Now I see a lot of Iceborn (because it works) ... what we got a convoluted two weapon system that doesn't even sync with some weapons like Savage Wellspring cancels as soon as you switch weapons. I Feel like so far Its been a single weapon system with a way to level up a weapon type you do not care about... Honestly I just do not understand who this was for Veterans feel cheated, and new players are confused... Not good Phoenix Labs... not good. So yes update has fun aspects to it like the fact there is no more Reforge Thank GOD! but really lackluster in almost every other way... especially monetization.
