I figured out a way to bypass the Dauntless queue. It's rather simple.

So navigate to your install folder. Open up the folder Data and open the file configuration.json in a text program. Find the line that says userToken and copy all the random text in between the quotes. Close that out.
Now open the folder Dauntless within the Data folder. Create a shortcut to Dauntless.exenew text file and name it whatever you want. Paste this into the text file quotes included.

"Dauntless.exe -culture=en -authtoken=[yourID]"


Now where it says [yourid] replace that with the userToken you copied from the config file. Save it as a .bat file and close it. Now double click it and it will launch the game and get you in.
Oh and you have to already have the launcher up, logged in and in queue for this to work
