We are slowly but surely increasing our capacity!
Queue times have dropped a bit, and we're continuing to work on getting them lower. Thanks for your continued patience — especially if you're waiting at 10k+.
Dauntless is now at zero-queue!
Our thanks to every Slayer that played, waited, and shared their feedback. We couldn't have done it without you.
You can learn more about what's next here:
We will also have a summary next week.
🛠️ Service Returning 🛠️
We are turning our servers back on SLOWLY. Please know that you may encounter long queues as we gets things back up to speed. We're continuing to monitor matchmaking and performance and will update (as always) if anything changes.
// Service Restored //
Good news: Servers are coming back online!
Less-good news: We've had to limit the number of people that can play at once, which means that queues will be longer (for now).
Good news: Matchmaking times should be shorter.

This weekend's goals: Continue to raise the cap while keeping things stable.
Clear skies!
🛠️ Emergency Maintenance 🛠️
We've put
#Dauntless
into maintenance mode in order to better focus on matchmaking, capacity, and other service issues you've likely encountered. We'll update with more info once we have it. Thanks as always for your patience.
☕️ AM Update ☕️
⌚️Queue Times: We increased our capacity, but demand remains high. We'll continue to work to get more Slayers in.
🔗Matchmaking: Can take a while, but should resolve if you wait it out.
🧯Crashes: Please @ us with details. We are actively investigating.
// Entering Maintenance //
We will be taking
#Dauntless
down for maintenance while we work on some persistent issues. Slayers will not be able to log in during this time. No ETA for a resolution just yet, but we'll keep you updated.
This doesn't mean our work is done.
We will continue to monitor issues, work on increasing our capacity, and figure out how to crush that crash bug that we mentioned above. Thanks again for bearing with us, and Clear Skies. 🌄

🍵 Mid-Morning Update 🍵
We've managed to increase the number of Slayers we can let in at once, but we're still seeing matchmaking issues. If you're getting disconnected after trying to matchmake or experiencing long matchmaking times — we're aware and actively working on it. ⚔️
🛠️ Patch OB 0.8.1 🛠️
Tomorrow, May 31, we'll be doing a zero downtime patch to zap some bugs discovered pre-launch. We are also working on a second patch (release date TBD) that will address performance and post-launch bugs.
Patch Notes:
Good morning, Slayers!
Our engineering team has worked through the night and continues to push toward getting queues to 💪 zero 💪
To the thousands of Slayers playing and those circling Ramsgate waiting for their chance, thank you.
We honor and appreciate your passion!
// Matchmaking Update //
We know some Slayers are having trouble with matchmaking. Thank you all for the reports!

If it looks like you're missing quests, crafted items, or other progression pieces, don't panic — it will resolve on its own. Nothing is lost, though you may need to relog in order to see things return to normal.

"We were ready for Behemoths, as always. But no one expected the Nayzaga we encountered to tear rifts into the Void or throw umbral clones at us. I recommend sending only well-prepared Slayers to conduct further research."

If you are currently:
- Matchmaking forever
- Not loading into Ramsgate after a hunt
- Experiencing low FPS in the tutorial
- Crashing after the tutorial
You are not alone! Thanks for hanging in there while we work on solutions.
Alright Slayers - We're BACK!
The Shrike making its nest in our server room has been vanquished, and the Shattered Isles are calling.
Let us know if you experience any aether fluctuations - We'll be watching and listening!
// Queue Lengths //
If you're in a long queue right now, please know that it's temporary. We reduced our regular capacity this morning in order to work on some issues with the progression system. Once things are stable, we'll return to a higher cap (and shorter queues).
// Service Update //
Some Slayers are having a hard time connecting or staying connected to the game.
The team is aware and working on a fix. Check back here for updates.
// Service Update Part II //
We’ve identified the issue. Our Hosting Provider is experiencing a worldwide outage.
Both teams are working hard to get you back to those Behemoths.
Fight a brand new Behemoth in the latest Dauntless update. New Escalation, story quests, missions, and more arrive with Untamed Wilds on September 17, 2020.

"The corrupting effect of umbral aether is undeniable, and within the Umbral Deeps it bleeds into the core of any Behemoth trapped there. Slayers call them Shadowtouched—and I fear even the Sovereign of Thorns is not immune."
