Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025

[djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Damn, another one down. I thought it was a perfectly adequate Monster Hunter competitor, but I guess people looking for that are fully satisfied by Monster Hunter

[ampersandrew@lemmy.world]

Even if it was perfectly adequate, the game may have been doomed anyway. Such is live service.

Not when they're built this way, no.

If I can't play a game offline, OR host my own dedicated server..i just don't buy them anymore.

Damn this sucks. This game was pretty decent in the beginning. I had fun leveling couple different weapons. I bailed when they reworked the progression system to be more confusing and less rewarding. I've been meaning to check it out for nostalgia sake even though recent rework got a horrific reviews and now I don't even have to bother. RIP

[kitnaht@lemmy.world]

They "rebooted" it by wiping everyone's progress and then making paid transactions the way to progress. It was doomed from the rework.

Dauntless was F2P if I remember correctly

[hyphlosion@lemm.ee]

I think you know what they meant.

[eronth@lemmy.world]

Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it's still sad to see.

While I personally wasn’t a fan of Dauntless, I respected it and I’m sad to see it go. I’m a huge Monster Hunter fan but understand the importance of competition and how it benefits gamers.
