Today is the day that Phoenix Labs has been waiting for. If everything goes according to the indie studio’s plan, Dauntless will emerge into open beta just before the Pacific coast breaks for lunch. At this point, the pathway to Ramsgate will be wide open for players everywhere to experience behemoth slaying for the first time.

    Lol It is pretty sad to see that we live in a day-and-age where no loot boxes has to be a big selling point. Hats off to them....for now.

    I will keep an open mind to this game and give it a chance. As I've stated before, Phoenix Labs' entire future is tied to the success of this one game. It's very much in their best interest to provide long term support. Monster Hunter World is a beautiful, wonderful game that I love, but it is still just one great game in a long running franchise which will eventually be replaced by a sequel. If Dauntless can survive the short term, it can be a viable f2p competitor in the long term.

    Aye, but to a lot of players this is a huge deal. Particularly the 'gamble box' element, and the rationale for didtching them. Yes, you could say that they did it to score points from the crowd, but hats off to them for actually doing something about it.

    It's not so much MHW with WoW graphics as it is MHW Lite. You're not going to spend 30min trying to find the monster. This game is more about the actual fight and not the hunt, which IMO, is a good thing.

    Will the open beta roll into launch? Or are the servers going back down at some point.

    Ouch, hopefully by the time its Asia prime time it won't be so bad. I don't think I'll be getting MHW, but this is looking good.

    So after spending about 3 hours in queue I finally managed to start the game. First of the controlls seemed pretty smooth and combat was definitely not bad BUT I had like 20 fps no matter if I choose high or low settings... on a PC that can run games like Black Desert on high. I really do hope that it was a bug or the overcrowded server that caused such low fps because the game itself kinda surprised me in a positive way.

    IF they don't improve the servers they will lose a lot of players. Queues are above one hour

    This game requires quite good reflexes to play right ? You have to be rather fast I presume.

    Had never played a game of this type so decided to try it out. Combat wasn't too bad but my dodgy wrist took a hiding from spamming the mouse. As far as I can tell it's a lobby based game in which you go out in instanced runs solo or in a group. I went out around half a dozen times and finally the tedium of the wash/rinse/repeat cycle got the better of me and I uninstalled the game. Maybe there's different modes of play later in the development cycle.

    Not really, it's more about learning monsters' attack patterns. Kinda like fighting bams in Tera if you've played that game.

    Very repetitive gets boring very fast, everyone looks the same and got the same stuff. Very dissapointed. feels like a small lobby game. Vindictus was better even 10 years old, Atleast they had some trash mobs and stuff.

    Suprising, they have had alot of time to get their stuff together, Maybe they have thrown in the towel at this point by releasing Open Beta

    Yea i got invited to a alpha test 10-11months ago and so far everything is the same as i remember it except with a cleared up UI which was very very buggy back then. Was expecting them to add something more in that amount of time but seems the exact same for the first 4-5hours of play... and still only a handful of weapons.

    Would be interesting to hear what they did with all that time in founders alpha testing... or maybe they think they had/have a solid first 4-5 hours and didn't see the need to change it any.
