Release: CB 0.3.7

Evolving Wilds shows that the Shattered Isles are an ever-changing place where Behemoths are constantly adapting to the challenges brought by the Slayers of Ramsgate. If Slayers want to continue to drive them back, they will need to use every tool at their disposal and learn new, punishing attacks. In order to combat the new onslaught from Shrike, Skraev, and Moonreaver, Slayers will have Behemoth-specific war pikes, powerful and repeatable axe attacks, and all new ways to explore and adventure when visiting the Shattered Isles.

Coming with Evolving Wilds is an Unreal Engine upgrade and some backend changes that will allow us to add new features and more quickly iterate in the future. This may bring with it some unforeseen bugs, but we are committed to identifying and fixing them as quickly as possible.

Sharpen Your Axe

New axe attacks and combos

High stakes axe users will now have multiple new combos at their disposal that end with punishing, repeatable attacks. If they are brave enough to go for tier three charges, they will now gain Resolve, which allows them to power through any damage or interruptions and deal a mighty blow. Read about all the specific changes here.

Hooting Intensifies

Shrike and Moonreaver updates and improvements

Shrike and Moonreaver are the first Behemoths to receive reworks. We have overhauled their behaviours and attacks in an effort to make them less predictable and punishing, and more exciting and effervescent. There are more Behemoth reworks coming to the Shattered Isles, so be sure to let us know what you think about the changes so far!

Shrike

More ways to Slay

Adding Warpikes for all current Behemoths

Enhance your arsenal with the new addition of warpikes for every Behemoth in Dauntless. With the addition of these, we will have officially replaced all placeholder weapons and armours! Slayers will now have many more weapon choices as they take on more challenging Behemoths that stalk the Shattered Isles.

Warpikes

Started off on the island

New island gameplay

Exploring the Shattered Isles will feel brand new. Use aether vents and improved traversal to explore areas unvisited by any Slayer. Read more about the changes to island gameplay here.

Patch Notes

Weapons and Armour

  • The axe has been revamped and will now have multiple new combos and combo variations to use.
  • Axe players will now gain Resolve when unleashing a tier three charged axe hit on every charge except for the moving axe charge. Unleashing a special attack will also grant Resolve from the moment the attack starts. This will allow them to power through any damage and complete the attack.
  • Axe users will travel a little further at the beginning of the secondary attack to allow Slayers to more easily and reliably string together combos.
  • Added new war pikes for all current Behemoths.
  • War pikes will now animate and open up as they fire their special attack.
  • Players can now upgrade Gnasher, Shrike, and Quillshot weapons and armor into Ragetail, Moonreaver, and Deadeye gear. This will transfer all cells and dyes to new items.
  • War Pike users will be able to perform dodge attacks more easily and reliably.
  • Horizontal hammer attacks can now hit multiple times if Slayers are able to get close enough to the Behemoth.
  • Players will see a bonus visual effect play when they get a level 3 charge on the axe to let them know their Resolve is ready.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused hammer reload and blasts to not work consistently. This will also have fixed some other combat and movement aspects that may not have been working reliably.
  • Fixed bugs where lantern visual and audio effects sometimes didn’t play.

Behemoths

  • Shrike, Skraev, and Moonreaver have been reworked and will have multiple new attacks and combinations they can use.
  • Shrike’s windcutter attack will now be more accurate and will continue moving through players that it hits.
  • When enraged, Shrike’s windcutter is slightly more damaging, travels faster, and has a wider range than the regular attack.
  • Players can now get knocked back and take damage from Shrike/Skraev’s rage entry animation.
  • Players can now target Shrike, Skraev, and Moonreaver Shrike’s tails for additional part breaks.
  • Skraev’s jumpslam attack now has the ability to freeze players who get hit by it. Frostyyyy.

  • Updated damage visibility on Behemoths to more easily show when they are wounded and scarred.
  • Ragetail Gnasher has a new look to better differentiate it from regular Gnasher.
  • Improved visual appearance of Charrogg’s exposed effects on it’s flame sacs.
  • Reduced the size of Skarn’s body hitbox to be more accurate to the model. This will reduce the chance for accidental hits to body when targeting limbs.
  • Behemoths should no longer foot slide as they begin to charge the player.
  • Rogue Embermane has undergone some grooming and has become orange instead of blue. *Wonder what the reasoning for this could be… *🤔
  • Slight damage tuning for Kharabak, this leads to reduced damage on the scissorcut and blade toss attacks.
  • Embermane’s arc flame projectile will spawn at a more consistent height and follow the ground a little tighter.
  • Reduced size of Charrogg’s tail slam area of effect damage to better match visuals.
  • Players are now able to interrupt Quillshot’s rage entrance.
  • Added new custom music for Rezakiri. Na na na na na na.
  • Stormclaw’s ball lightning attack will now spawn at a more consistent height in order to better let players reflect it.
  • Fixed a bug that potentially caused Charrogg’s flame ring to repeatedly hit and stun players.
  • Fixed a bug to help reduce frequency of players getting stuck in Quillshot during it’s swipe attack.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some Behemoth heads to require an incorrect amount of damage before breaking.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Rezakiri’s backhand attack to not deal damage from it’s claw.

Quality of Life

  • Upgraded Unreal Engine version to 4.17, this will better allow us to iterate on features and eliminate some engine related bugs that have been sticking around. Also included with this is a massive increase in both server and client performance and a reduction in the number of crashes that players will experience.
  • Projectiles now have much more accurate hit detection. Nonreg begone!
  • Reworked wounded status so that it now causes more damage to Slayer and if they use up all their stamina, they will take a chunk of damage. This can be cleared by waiting out the duration or by remaining stationary for 6 seconds.
  • Replaced all placeholders status effect icons with stylish new ones.
  • Improved the dynamic music system to better transition between songs and play the same tune less frequently.
  • Replaced and improved the marker showing when you can and cannot revive Slayers that have been downed.
  • Added new audio effects to better inform a player when they take damage.
  • Reworked the health and stamina bars to remove placeholder assets.

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused players to get stuck in running animation when sprinting and unsheathing their weapon by pressing and releasing the primary attack.

Known Issues

  • Slayers will be unable to back out of the weapon cell UI without infusing or closing the game. We are looking into the cause and working on a fix.
  • Island Arrival emotes may not play when dropping into a hunt, we are investigating this and working on a solution.
  • Shrowd weapons, as well as anything equipped with the the Umbral Hunger cell, will completely prevent Slayers from being staggered, we are aware and looking into the cause of this.
  • Menus, icons, and controller support are a continued work in progress. Please use a mouse and keyboard where a controller is not fully supported.
  • Do not log into Dauntless from multiple places at the same time. It will lead to account data corruption.
  • Some Behemoths may not drop style cores, we are currently looking into why this is.
  • Behemoths may occasionally walk in irregular patterns. Fix this by slaying them.
