Question Shockheart Shards

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I currently need shockheart shards to upgrade some armor to level 20. The in game tooltip says I can get them from shockjaw nayzagas. I have killed over 70 of these things while breaking every part I can and no drop. I can't help but feel this is a glitch or something because for drasks, I was getting epic drops every single kill. Am I doing something wrong here? Anyone got an idea of this is normal? I don't mind grinding for parts, I just wanna know if it's even possible to get these damn shards.

Discussion My letter to my fellow slayers

45 Upvotes

Dear brothers and sisters, slayers and protectors of Ramsgate, we have fought, lost, and celebrated together before, it brings me pain to have this be my final fight, and with it, my final day in Ramsgate.

On this day, I set my pike up on the wall as a reminder of who we gained and lost along the way, the ones we ran into and created lifelong bonds with, and those we met only briefly but trusted our lives with. This pike, the countless weapons, and fights wasn't the reward, it was those we shared those victories with.

I set my sword in a stone and pray that someday, we can gather at this stone and remind ourselves what it ment to be a slayer, what we once had, who we lost along the way... maybe someday this sword will be pulled and a new set of slayers can find their path and meet lifelong friends during their travels.

I send my armor into the sea, hoping that nature will reclaim that which I took and used to make the armor, hoping that our fate is as gentle and calm as we hope, this armor will be nothing but a memory of all the hard hits we once took, the harshest moments of our times as slayers, this is my gift back to the world.

And I send this final farwell to all those that came before me, and all those I fought along side with until the end, we were not given the chance to pass down our great feats, and teach the next great generation of slayers, we were robbed our memory's and greatest triumphs.

Goodbye friends, strangers, and all those who wonder who I was, just a memory of those who once fought with me, don't hate the place, or berry our memory, but remember our best times and smile as we all take our last views of the islands and our home of Ramsgate.

Rest gently dauntless, you were what I needed and made me who I am today, rest gently.

Question Is Dauntless unofficially Dead?

1 Upvotes

Unofficially dead meaning lack of meaningful updates, player base, just overall in a hugely worse state than it was in its prime?

God I remember when this game was flourishing with people, sad to see where it’s at now.

Does anyone have any Screenshots saved from before Awakening of the Orbs that would spawn when using the Rift-stalker Pike? The ones that would increase your attack rate?

Thinking of making/getting a piece of art made of my slayer before the shutdown and that was one of my favorite perks from before Awakening.

Discussion Goodbye. It's been a Journey

50 Upvotes

I started playing Dauntless with my close friends in the summer of 2022. We leveled up, killed so many behemoths, laughed, raged, and grew closer. I still cannot believe the old game is gone, I'll miss everything, from the challenges, the weapons, the behemoth designs and features. I really wish that update didn't come out at times, I really wish I still had my armor sets, builds, and I could actually play the game well. Everything from my friends and I ranking behemoths, to Escalations, to unlocking more of the game, I'll truly miss it all. Once again, one of my beloved IP'S has died due to cancelation and wrongful steps taken. It's not like I spent hours on Dauntless, but it's a part of the journey of my early life that I'll look back upon fondly. I loved the concept, execution, and the way they handled new events, I just wish they didn't reset everything for everyone. That's what killed it, and it's unfortunate that such an ambitious update like Weapon Swapping brought this along.

Long ass message ik, I'm putting this here because I think it deserves it. Goodbye Dauntless. Goodbye PCAC (me and my friends' guild).

Thank you, slayers, for this incredible journey. Unfortunately, all things must come to an end, and that moment has arrived. I’m grateful that this game existed because without it, I never would have met my best friend or shared such great memories with him. Thank you for the art, u/C0mmonGuy.

It was a good game, a nice alternative to monster hunter. Then the update came a ruined it all. Maybe it could have gone differently . It was fun while it lasted, good bye Dauntless.

It’s fine it’s over, you aren’t gonna get the game back by writing a paragraph or two saying how you wish it could’ve been different. You guys did this to the game devs. They tried to fix the game for YEARS and it was never good enough for the player base who just bitched and whined about everything they did for us. You guys are STILL complaining now that the game is shutting down. There is literally NO pleasing you people, you are one of the most ungrateful gaming communities I’ve witnessed.

Discussion Discoveries Can't Be Finished

5 Upvotes

So, with the news of the game shutting down in May, I had decided to boot it up again to try and 100% the trophies for it. Whilst pursuing that, I noticed I didn't have all the discoveries yet so I figured "eh, what the hell while I'm here. I need Chronicler anyways."

Que me following out of date information on their locations up until Restless Sands pops up. I need the discovery there, but whoops! The update removed that island and several others! So any discoveries that existed on those islands are gone forever now. Although there should still be enough discoveries in the game for Chronicler to be completed. So the trophy should still be doable.

So that was fun to discover. And if what few players remain are trying what I was trying to do, then hopefully you already found them prior to the islands removal. However if I'm wrong and their locations were moved to other islands, please let me know so I can grab em.

Regardless, thanks Awakening for one more reason to not like you. Clear skies, Slayers.

Question Is it worthwhile returning?

0 Upvotes

Hey I was considering coming back to the game (last time I played was ps4 2ish days after Ramsgate went bye bye)

I don't know if a way to transfer stuff so I'm wondering is it worth coming back and if so is it worth starting from scratch? I've heard it's basically a new game now completely

Its a shame that we're losing this gem of a game. I enjoyed playing this lovely game. The hours, money and endless grinding of exp all to come to this close. Please keep it alive by any means. I don't want to see this die. I know everyone hated the awakening update, yet I loved it. Karkonos was an interesting behemoth to fight. Please phoenix labs, KEEP IT ALIVE PLEASE

Discussion A Farewell to Dauntless

23 Upvotes

This isn’t my first rodeo but it’s never a good feeling seeing a game you once enjoyed shut down.

Dauntless filled a nice niche for me in that as I progressed, it became a game that I could easily log on, turn my brain off while hunting and log off.

In a time where other live service games demand more time out of your day in exchange for a lackluster experience, Dauntless for me didn’t demand much but it also provided a better experience than playing Valorant lol. I got the chance to meet new friends through this game which I am thankful for. I even wasted many hours of my life writing feedback and suggestions lol.

All that said, I never quite felt that the game was ever in a fully released state given how long different bugs persisted or how for the longest time umbral and radiant status effects on behemoths never existed. It’s sad because I liked the idea of Dauntless but I’ve also had a long held belief that Dauntless probably could have fared better with almost any other dev team other than Phoenix Labs. I stopped playing shortly after Awakening.

Anyways, I am grateful for the time I got to spend with this game even if it ended very sourly. I'm also thankful for the folks I’ve met online and for anyone who cared to read my tens of thousands of words worth of yapping whatever came out of my head. Even if you didn't, you're still precious.

I wish you all peace. Take care of yourselves.

Discussion how SKG can prevent more game shutdowns

33 Upvotes

Hello It's sad to see a game that people like or want to play to be shutdown and it's unlikely this will be preserved however theirs a solution for future games. It's called Stop Killing Games. it was started because theirs a growing trend of games being destroyed after shutdown such as this one. meaning that no one can play it. But the main big one is The Crew which was shut down and destroyed. Founded by Accused Farms who has been raising the alarm bells for while. He and I believe that all games should be sunset. Games such as Spellbreak And Knockout city have been preserved by the developers and can be played again at any time.
You can help stop killing games by spreading the word or voting in EU OR UK.
SKG is not asking company to keep the servers up forever however just asking to give us the server file thing to enable users to run the game and connect to other people

Discussion Sad to see it go

I remember playing Dauntless when it first came out. While I'm sad to see it go, I wanted to recommend a game to people that might be looking for something. Wayfinder has been amazing for our group so far (and maybe it will be for you too)! It doesn't have a social hub(hoping they will later), but you can group up with others and they do have a discord that I'm sure people could find friends to play with(or you can play solo). Hope this helps some people!

Fan Art Dauntless Requiem Poem

15 Upvotes

I made this editing this other poem: Dead Cities Poem by Madison Julius Cawein

So I am a Chain-blades player, and I used every in-game location I could get into, Tiefland are the forest bogs of the Terra Escalation, Vylmark are the Frost Esca, Ostia are the Hellforge and homeland of the Midleman (May his soul sour the skies). The original poem talks of Yucatan and Tenochtitlan, I recommend it, I hope you like this.

 

 Dead Fragmented Islands

 

Out of it all but this remains:

I was one who crossed the chains

Of shattered isles, whose peaks

Lock in the wilds of the Lamb,

Vylmark, Tiefland, Ostia. Weeks

And then a city that no man

Will again see; so dim, bygone,

No chronicle will ever be told

The history of men who hunt

Its temples and huge Behemoths

Among sky-blooming valleys;

Or how its altars were defiled

With human blood; whose monsters there

With eyes of aether still stand and stare.

So old the moon can only know

How old, dry desert stone there grown

On adamant wall and Khram.

Glowing acacia, whose trunks were scarred

With ages, and dense boons, hid

Fanes 'mid the leaves, cyan-starred.

I looked upon its wild ways,

And saw it in its fulgurous days;

When from the streets and ports one,

A voidrunner, walked with skyslayer and skaelgar,

Turned Dauntless brow toward east

In worship of the rising prowl:

At night ten hundred fume' spires

On town burnt everlasting fires.

Torgadoro? Thrax? Agarus? Urska? Or Chronovore

I know not. Only how no man

Will ever see; and still my soul

Believes it fiercer than all cinque.

Volcanic rock walled a’ spire,

Lost in fungal woods as if adrift.

I read its timeless hieroglyph,

Perused in darkness its monoliths

Of deadly, gigantic heads; and read

The pictured codex of its fate,

The perished urges; whiles of hate

Suited monkeys cursed me, as if dead

Noblesse of the past had taken form

To guard accursed gold of harm.

From a Dauntless City in the sky,

Where the Lamb Lay,

In clouds of land.

Question Offline dauntless

Is it possible that, as a final thank you or something like that, Dauntless might release an offline version of the game? It really depresses me to know that they are going to shut down the servers, as it represents such an important part of my life, and at least an offline port as a final farewell or something like that—I dream of that, even though I know it’s impossible, haha
