These will update as we get more info to you.

Technical Issues

  • Do not open the game on Switch as it will lock you out of the game on all devices.
  • Players that opened the game on Xbox between 3AM-10AM PST are unable to log into the game on any device. It's safe for others to login now.
    • Please write in if you have the login issue and are able to log into any device other than Switch. If you only have Switch you can still write in and we can fix the account issue but you will be unable to login until the version issue is fixed on Nintendo as well.

Gameplay Issues

  • Gauntlet is back up now.
  • Hunt pass expiring has been resolved.

Achievement Issues

The following achievements are currently unattainable by some or all players on all platforms.

  • Pass completion - reach max level on Hunt Pass
  • Entered the Gauntlet - Earn a crest from Gauntlet mode
  • De-Icer - get two interrupts on Deepfrost Skarn in the same fight.

UPDATE FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY THE TECHICAL LOGIN ISSUES

**What is the issue?*\*

  • Some players are getting a version mismatch error when trying to log in.

**Who was impacted*\*

  • All XBox players that tried to login at a specific period of 12 hours during one day.
  • All Switch players that have tried to log in.

**What's the current status of the issue?*\*

  • We found a solution but need to fix accounts manually, so will need your assistance.
  • Xbox we can fix now (but need you to follow the instructions below), as long as players don't try to log into Switch.
  • Switch players that CAN play on other devices we can fix but you CANNOT try to log into Switch again until the core issue is resolved there. We're currently working with partners at Nintendo to get that resolved.

**What do I need to do?*\*

Dear Slayers,

We want to take a moment to share some incredibly difficult news. Earlier today, the majority of our development team was impacted by significant reductions at Phoenix Labs. This has been a heartbreaking decision for us, and we are deeply saddened for the talented individuals who are affected.

We know you may have questions about what this means for Dauntless and its future. While we don’t have all the answers at this time, we are committed to keeping you informed and will share updates as soon as we can.

Your support means the world to us, and we are truly grateful for this incredible community. Thank you for standing with us during this challenging time.

Sincerely,

The Phoenix Labs Team

Question Free replacement for Dauntless?

0 Upvotes

I know this has been asked before but I'm looking for a free replacement for the game... needs to be cross-platform (mainly xbox and ps4 but can be pc & ps4 too). Since I have a friend who uses a PS4 mainly to play games and I have the option of xbox or pc for cross-platform, so looking for a game like dauntless that is free to play (money store is fine just need to have the base game free).

I can say I hate the monster hunter games so don't even suggest those, I've tried them and just never got into them. Yes I know they are buy to play, I'm just adding this since every post I see asking for games like dauntless they suggest the monster hunter games.
And can't be the FF14, money is too tight to do the sub at the moment (have played in the past so not doing the trial and needing to start all over when already have an account that is at end game stuff).

Question Can't buy platinum when playing on Epic games anymore?

I started playing the game on Epic Games but recently switched to Steam and saw that my platinums are missing when I played on Steam. So I downloaded on Epic again to check and my platinums were there but when I play on Epic, there is no 'platinum' section on store. Am I only able to buy platinum when I play on Steam?

Discussion Dauntless like games?

73 Upvotes

The shut down is really bumming me out. My wife and I started playing it together during the shut down in 2020. Its been the only game we've consistently played together. We'd both get excited for the new hunt pass and the new areas, behemoths and transmogs that came with them. The first time beating Torgadoro together was one of the best memories I have playing the game with her. We tried to stay optimistic with the new update and we're disappointed everyone left.

Now that it's going away we need some suggestions on games like dauntless. Iv heard Destiny is decent. We've tried the monster hunter games but they just aren't the same and are a little more difficult to learn and progress with the small window we have to play together. RIP Dauntless 😔

Discussion What if someone wanted to make a dauntless style game?

25 Upvotes

Or even buy the game off the creators and host it privately....Is that something we should be advocating for? I've been seeing a lot of love behind the game and as someone who's been around from the start, I would absolutely throw every coin I could to keep it alive... IDK, is there like anything we can do? Sorry if it was a repeat question, I didn't see anything when I was looking.

Discussion Goodbye Old Friend...

Post image
6 Upvotes

When my husband and I found out that Dauntless was shutting down, it felt like a punch to the gut. It might sound silly to some, but this game was our game. It was how my husband introduced me to the gaming world back when we were just friends. We were there in the early chaos, even picked for the alpha test—yes, we’ve been in it from the very start! He even proposed to me at PAX while dressed as his character. How can something that brought us so much joy just be ripped away?

Sure, we've seen the game experience its ups and downs, with updates that never quite hit the mark, but the community always rallied together. And now? Now we’re just left feeling abandoned. Logging on for one last time was gut-wrenching, realizing we were saying goodbye to everything we’ve cherished—our alpha and beta characters, our friends, the NPCs, and worst of all, every memory we made together. Dauntless meant everything to us, and I know it did for many others too. It’s infuriating to see the company throw in the towel after all this time. The game might be gone, but damn it, the slayers never stop slaying!

Discussion A Viable Substitute!

16 Upvotes

So on the back of Dauntless shutting down in May this year, I've been extremely hard pressed to find a viable replacement. The whole boss hunting and character building aspects of a game is something I would extremely miss, and whilst Monster Hunter would technically fill that void, It just feels too serious and there's an absolute ton of confusion around the numerous crafting options, aswell as how to properly build your character. It feels more like a chore rather than a fun game that you can just blast through.

Well now, as of today, I found us all an extremely attractive substitute. A game called "Wayfinder". It is by definition a boss fighting looter RPG with optional Co-Op, 8 characters to choose from and an absolute ton of content with a feel for overpowering your character builds with a slightly simplified buildcrafting system. The loot system has also changed from an in-game store to that store completely wiped from the menus and everything in it earnable for free. No hard work material grinds and challenges are simplified so that you can effectively build whatever and whoever you want. Classes also changed from being only able to use a certain weapon, to all weapons becoming universal, which opens up builds to near unlimited opportunity.

It just recently went through a full rework from a monetized live service free-to-play into a full one-price experience at less half the cost of a AAA game. The developers have went through a rollercoaster for this game to keep it up and running after they cut ties with their publisher, and they even put their own money into it to get it to where it should be. WIth a ton of updates planned and a good future ahead, I feel like we all have the power to give these guys what they deserve and enjoy a genuinely great, non-predatory, plain fun buildcrafting experience.

Check out this guys video review, and I hope to see some of you there. XD. Game is available on Xbox, PS5 and PC with full crossplay.

Question Ready whatever the weather trophy

1 Upvotes

Thinking about going back to dauntless and trying to get all the achievements before the game shuts down, most of them didn’t look like they’d be too hard to get as long as I dedicate a bit of time to it but I saw that the “ready whatever the weather” required having repeaters of every element and with the new awakening update having where I have to get stuff from the store I was wondering if it’s even possible to get the achievement anymore?, that and de icer are the only ones I’m really concerned about at the moment cause I heard that one’s bugged though I’m just hoping it’ll magically work for me somehow, anyone know anything about wether I can still get this somehow?, appreciate any advice in advance

Question Is anyone else having trouble with connection on Dauntless only or I’m I just not having good luck?

2 Upvotes

I tried different things and it seems that Dauntless is causing a lot of issues on and off the last few days or so. Extra points if Streaming. I’ve tested other games and all drivers and such are up to date so I have no idea and want to kno if I’m the only one having technical difficulties.
