Dauntless is an action role-playing game where players team up to hunt down powerful monsters called Behemoths. The developers have released Update 1.9.1, which brought several bug fixes and some balancing changes.
Island Event Balance
The developers are balancing island events to make them more fun for players. This is achieved by reducing the time taken to complete events, reducing the amount of chaos going around, and keeping the narrative cohesive. For the first stage, they removed Danger Zones and added an additional Embermane behemoth.
To make it easier, the developers have also removed styxians in stage three. Styxians are notorious creatures who like to hunt in groups, so now players will no longer encounter them in that stage.
Exploit Fixed
The developers also found that some players are exploiting the sword’s special meter. Players were able to keep it even after changing weapons. This exploit has been resolved in the latest update.
