10 days before the expansion releases. How hype are you?

Same day as this:

Quite hype. Want to make a bird man but not currently seeing much synergy between bird man and occultist bird skill but will see how its changed when it releases.

>>743251030
Idk if i can be bother about Grim Dawn anymore, this expansion take too much time to finally release while there too much more different games to care about, and i don't just say exclusively about new games even.
Is the new class at least good in terms of auto-attacks or i just doomed to playing 2-handed forcewave soldier for the 100-th time again?
>>
>>743254181
why do you have to play force wave warrior 100 times anon? are you retarded? surely you know there are other mastery options as well? you can level with almost any active skill in the game if you have a single braincell and know how to itemize and are not playing around someone elses guide like a brainlet
>>
>>743253649
It's available from Fort Ikon as it branches out west/north instead of towards the Necropolis, and I believe timeline wise, it takes place before Forgotten Gods.
>>
>>743254657
Because this game not as balanced as many people trying to make you believe it is. First of all, forcewave is basically really unique skill, since there no skills like this except for Primal Strike, but it's generally weaker in every way than forcewave. Everything else is either forcing you into cooldowns or not have any scaling from weapon damage. It's also one of the easiest skill to build, with shittone of green items that give bonuses to it. Savagery also kinda like this in terms of item abundance, but using normal auto-attack without proper aoe is too tedious experience that too much depends on passive skill activation to work.
>>
Like the game but can't make it out of the starting zone. Same with Titan Quest. Maybe I need to start a different build. Made it further in other arpgs, so I should like this one.

I can't believe how awful malmouth (the city ) is.
I like the game but lots of maps feel ugly and a chore, but malmouth is the worst one
>>
>>743251030
I started replaying it recently and man, the maps are too fucking big for its own good.

>>743254181
Soldier anything is generally the best way to get bored, it's too strong of a class.
Same for pet builds.
Alternatively, if you really want to play Soldier, respec once you hit lvl100 into another build.
>>
Not really. I've played a ton of Grim Dawn recently and my last character made me realize I don't really enjoy the game. It's fun for a playthrough or two but the endgame sucks.
>gearing has mandatory checklist of maxing 8 different resistances
>endgame gear has a level requirement of 94 despite the endgame starting way before that, in fact if you're early into ultimate you can end up finding a ton of shit that you can't even equip yet, super weird design for a primarily single player game
>gearing process is mostly just running totems or pushing SR/crucible levels, maybe do a few runs for crafting materials
>MI items that buff your chosen skills are so strong compared to regular gear that when you find the piece for your class (which is inevitable unless it's from an optional boss) then you will use it for the rest of the difficulty and only replace it with the elite/ultimate variant which will last you until you get your build's BiS legendary item at level 94+
>gameplay falls into two categories: effortlessly deleting entire rooms of trash enemies in the blink of an eye and never being close to dying or going from 100% to 0% in a fraction of a second because you hit by a nuke while your resistances were nulled, and for this reason hardcore also sucks
Don't get me wrong, it's a perfect drip of dopamine if you're listening to a podcast or something but when examined further it's extremely flawed in many ways.
>>743257660
The first district you do as you come out of the sewers sucks, the other two has very simple and straightforward layouts so you can get it over with quickly.

It is strong, but game also have plenty of bosses that can oneshot your ass, or be very close to it, soo Menhir's Will is basically must have if you play on hardcore or just not fan of dying.

That's so fucking gay let me autism max god damnit
>>
>>743259336
I think Grim Dawn specifically suffers from having the mandatory resistance caps and the existence of MIs. I think part of the appeal in these games is finding cool, randomized loot that suits your character or gives you an idea for a cool build. The MIs just ruin that. If you want to play a Blitz soldier then you'll find Milton's Casque like 5 minutes into the game and that helm will be your best in slot until you find Milton's Casque 5 minutes into your elite/ultimate playthrough, and you won't replace it until you get the literally best-best-best in slot helmet at level 94+. It's crazy bad design in a game about random loot that the player are guaranteed to get items that are crazily overtuned for a specific build, because it automatically invalidates all other items for that slot. That design is completely unnecessary.
>>
>>743257914
>endgame gear has a level requirement of 94
is there any kind of pre-endgame gear or just random items?
>>
>>743260971
You'll typically use whatever MI's fit your build and then random gear green that will keep you resistance capped in Ultimate.
>>
Very hype. My fave game in recent years is still going strong. It's great.

Grim Dawn lacks spears unless Asterkhan is adding them.

wow some shit posters sure did show up. You can either bitch about them and give them power like you are or you can discuss the game with others who are interested in it.
Or you can just close the thread and go play a game or something idk not your boss.
I will probably be playing a berserker/soldier for the DLC as I have never actually touched the soldier class.
>>
Voicing criticism for a game in a genre you sincerely like isn't shitposting. I am interested in playing the game again because I only ever played it vanilla before any DLCs came out. Being a fag and hand waving off criticism as shitposting is how you invite actual shitposting intended only to rile you up because you're clearly a sensitive fag. Food for thought.

I played the game when it was freshly released and then gave it another try during one of the DLCs, I don't remember the name but loading screens had this female witch on a green background. It didn't get any better, there was just more bloat. Fundamentally this game cannot and will not change because it's still chugging along on a 2006 engine that's been past its limits since day 1.
Maybe saying the game is shit is too much, but I fail to see how it is anything but average at its best.
>>
>>743256972
I enjoyed Victor Vran, Marvel Heroes, Torchlight 2 was okay, PoE was okay for a few zones, Diablo 3, Diablo Immortal, Dins Curse, Dungeon Runners, Fate, BG Dark Alliance. I don't mind the itemization and skills but I think the gameplay is a little bunk. I still have it installed and try to play it every few months to make sure I am not missing anything though.

>>743264295
It's the only diablo-like made for solo player first and foremost.
Every single other diablo clone out there require you to trade with another player to realistically make your dream build.
Here, you can just farm for it.
Many consider Diablo 2 to be the peak of the genre.
What they don't tell you is that most of the late game runic words are impossible to grind by yourself, you have to fucking trade if you want that shiny Enigma because of how fucking low the rates are.
See the Zod rune? You actually have more chance to win the lottery and never work again than you have to drop one.

>10 days before the expansion releases. How hype are you?
Exactly 0.00000000% hype. This game is fucking shit, and so is Titan Quest. Absolutely un fucking real that you twats prop this studio's dogshit games up over and over again, these are the worst ARPG's I've ever played in my entire fucking life.
>>
>>743265075
That's true. It's also why I had more fun with the Grim Dawn mod of Diablo 2 than Diablo 2 Resurrected. The mod's not trying to funnel you to some weird rune market.
>>
>>743265142
They are building their own engine for GD2, and an RTS set in the Grim Dawn universe. They are using UE5 for a survival game though (not set in the universe)

Wow hold on there cowboy with that opinion, soon you'll be called a zoomer for not liking digital diarrhea like grim yawn.

>>743265075
This is an unironic skill issue. The whole point of chase items being rare is for there to be meaning in acquiring them. If everything were easily acquirable then it has no meaning. The best part of good chase items is that they're build empowering not build enabling. And I say this as someone that likes D2 a lot but certainly doesn't suck it off. You are extremely delusional if you think trading is necessary. It's just for impatient fags like you.

Chasing end game gear for your characters is the norm in the genre, it doesn't matter if you can make do with yellow gear, they will rarely compare with the unique stuff and runic words.
I would even say that it's the logical end of the entire genre being a power trip for the player.

Grim Dawn's design is the polar opposite of PoE's. 100% of the time when someone criticises it they have 450,000 hours in Path of Exile. Conversely, people who fucking hate Path of Exile are the ones with 90 maxed characters in Grim Dawn.

PoE had a huge drama because they nerfed the chance of dropping good loot.
You're also forced to trade if you play ladder.

I played through the game twice.
Once as a super duper giga shaman and the second time using a mix between Cultist and Gunslinger. The game is alright, but it's not anything phenomenal.
>>
>>743251030
I'll probably wait until it's around $10 like the other expansions were when I got them.

Literally every ARPG expects you to have resistances capped in the endgame, retard.

>>743272857
it's one of those games where I pick it up, play through a bit, then get bored and drop it
>git gud
It's not about being gud, it's about having the patience to run a walking simulator with inventory management. i'm bad at lots of games (and gud in some) but I don't even think I've been killed in Grim Dawn yet. I'm just bored

>>
>>743273035
Only time I ever got killed was from random AoE shit at the end when I wasn't looking. On higher difficulties it's easier to die but like any ARPG you just get better loot drops and decimate anything within 5 kilometers. Especially if you play a character like shaman.
>>
>>743273051
As long as you build around a weapon type they all work
Guns get the benefit of a lot of weapon proc skills turning into piercing shots with ranged weapons instead of just a little cleave
I had a Necro/Oathkeeper dual gun build that was all left click and buffs

nice

Literally the only build that exists in grim dawn is autoattack with a million passives, there are no ability builds.

If anything my biggest problem with Grim Dawn is that there's too much pianoing when I much prefer "build an engine" playstyles
>>
I'm deleting my cloud saves, making a fresh file, and playing the classic game of "run campaign until I get a unique that looks fun and then make a whole new alt to run it" ad nauseum.
>>
yeah. the last character i was playing was a dude who was lobbing grenados and spewing fire and bullets and shit constantly. he was fun. PoE is the game where you invest everything in to one single autoattack since PoE1/2 are both developed for braindead streamers who NEED mindless one-button builds since they're playing that shit as their job.

time to bust out my AAR toon and power thru this exp in 2 hours lol

I can tolerate lots of mediocrity in lots of ways, I just wish GD's skills were cool. But instead they feel like lame rehashes of TQ skills. There are way too many "turn buff on and forget" skills and it's fucking gay. Anyways what is this xpac adding, I haven't kept up since it took so fucking long

there's also some world alter that lets you adjust loot drops so you should be able to farm what you want easier. not entirely sure how it works though
>>
>>743251030
I'm hype in that I'm interested to see what they do, but I'm anti-hype because Grim Dawn's campaign already feels massively bloated and I don't really know where and how well another expansion is gonna fit in there. Still most likely going to pick it up since Grim Yawn is a consistently enjoyable clicker and it probably won't make the game WORSE
>>
>>743277881
it adds the ability to reroll an MI affixes. that alone is worth volumes. then add the new ascended mode and it should be a good time regardless

So you're repeating criticisms that are ten years old? And you think this means you're arguing in good faith instead of just parroting "grim yawn" like any other catalog driveby?
>>
>>743251030
omfg make Grim Dawn 2 already

Steam lost my 400+ hour save I am not starting over!
>>
Is GD one of those "/v/ hates it and will get mad at you for playing it" type games? Is it woke or something? Only ever played Torchlight 1 and 2 back in the day seeing this expansion in the upcoming releases list reminded me that it existed.
>>
>>743284116
i bought it during the sale. its a fun game with or without mods. its very customizable to play it exactly how you would like to play 100% offline no need to worry about servers or anything.
>>
>>743283992
>Grim Dawn 2
They are working on a new engine since Unreal or Unity are suboptimal for ARPGs and RTSs and the TQ engine is at its limits.

ggg again backstabs other arpgs by announcing their poe1 league comes out 3 days after this grim dawn dlc
I will obviously focus on seasonal multiplayer game first as single player can wait

what always annoys me in grim dawn is the constellation system
lets say you have some endgame constellation that requite 15x to take but also gives some x itself, if you have 10x you can take +5x node -> take constellation and then when it gives you couple x -> respec original 5x node
now you have endgame constellation and +1 point from not needing that +5x node
it sounds great for autism minmaxing but it just makes me never wanna deal with it it once I set it up for character in endgame
>>
>>743285017
why would it do that?

>>743251030
Fucking keen. I've gotten back into it recently and got my Primal Strike Warder to 100. Haven't looked into expansion previews too much, planning on going into it blind.

Sweet
Wish the controller support was as good as Diablo 2 or Path of Exile, though. If anything Grim Dawn is THE ARPG to play with a controller because of how braindead most builds are
>>

Dog companions? I might finally play this game.

Pre-ordered already. The beta was worth it.

>Nothing upgrade a week after too. Fuck September, end of July is where it's at.
Huh?
>>
>>743283992
go in options and click 'cloud save'.

the game has 2 character saves, completely separate. 1 for cloud saves, 1 without it. I found mine that way.
>>
>>743285116
but all final constellations don't give any boni themselves and will be dependant on all previous constellations to reach their requirements, so at best you might be able to refund one or two points you put into the starting constellation in the middle, if at all

Sure, see how it goes? Pretty good lore and ambient music. Small file size.

Speaking of which, the FoA music just got added to the Soundtrack.

It gives Blitz levels and reduces the cooldown of Blitz, allowing you to cast it more often which significantly increases the DPS and it just nice utility allowing you to zoom between packs. My problem with the design is that it's a guaranteed drop and it's so good that you're almost guaranteed to never replace it with another helmet that isn't the same but a higher tier, all up until the absolute endgame.
>>743272987
Yes, but GD has 8 resistance classes. Once you have a ton of devotion points and maxed out reputation with most factions so you can buy the +res item enchants getting capped isn't terribly hard, but for a long time the item evaluation process isn't "does this item look fun for my build" but rather "does this item have enough resist rolls on it?"

I wish they just removed 95 level legendaries, sets and made them 75 level instead of having 75 version and 95 version. I want some horizontality.
>>
>>743287795
You should be able to opt into a "self found" character just like you can opt into hardcore, and if you're self found then no items should have level requirements.
>>
>>743287795
Don't worry, the Legendaries from AoM and FG don't have lvl 75 versions.

Can't you just transmute them? I got everything but the mace in the Avenger set by just crafting the chest 3 times and transmuting two pieces, zero boss drops involved

You can't transmute monster exclusive Legendaries. You can transmute the Shattered Realm armors, though.

I wish there was some mode indeed. The level grinding ala D2 is outdated mechanic designed more for seasonal content and PoE. The gear max level should be established early so it will be all about the difficulty encounters and unique gear from very hard bosses.
I hope new epic awakening mechanic make blues useful at least

I gotta figure out which of my 10 characters I'm gonna start this new expansion with. Maybe the cabalist and his army of skeletons...

I played it recently for the first time, did a summoner build and got through the first difficulty. It was fun but felt no desire to beat the game on the next difficulty, it was just gonna be more of the exact same standing around while my 15 minions did everything

It literally is running on an old game engine, that's why it's so comfy

Which is odd, as the game is technically a decade old now. Father time waits for no man...
>>
>>743287461
Based anon, I heard they were gonna do that but to do it this early is nice. I bought it when it was on sale to support them adding it for free.

To think that Lonely Moon was just a leftover track from the base game.
Now it's one of the most iconic songs in the game, but that might be due to the way it starts playing.
