When I interviewed Phoenix Labs' Jesse Houston at PAX South last year, he told me Dauntless would be going into open beta in the fall of 2017.

The focus of the article is the "seven chambers," which represent "seven elements of Dauntless that we’re focusing our efforts toward in the lead up to Open Beta." These are:
Admittedly, there's not a whole lot of granularity on the list when it comes to things like "improving combat," but Phoenix Labs promises lots more detailed dev blogs as the year goes on.
