Now you mention it, yeah, I guess they do. Never bothered me, obviously.

Finished both expansions at level 80. No plans to do any endgame stuff, I’m done until the next expansion, if they make one.

I just tried the Diablo 2 full conversion mod for GD, Reign of Terror. It’s pretty impressive stuff, really. Problem is those D2 maps feel so boring, and there’s so much grinding monster after monster. I think there’s some kind of a bug with health scaling on bosses; I ran into a boss with 6 minions, each with like 2500 health, and deleted it. I could beat them by kiting around for half an hour but that didn’t seem like a heck of a lot of fun.

Grim Dawn V1.1.8.0 Changelog

Grim Dawn V1.1.8.0

The latest vast addition to Grim Dawn is upon us!

With v1.1.8.0, we are pleased to introduce all new side areas scattered across the world of Cairn, and with them new challenges and rewards.

As you explore these new locations, you will also stumble upon a new style of Monster Totem, themed after the celestial fiends you may have battled within the Tomb of the Heretic. The power of the hungering darkness, it would seem, can no longer be contained!

As always, you can also look forward to a range of balance changes. For the full list of changes, see below:

V1.1.8.0

[Major New Features]

  • The world of Cairn has expanded. Areas previously inaccessible can now be explored. With them come new dangers, and rewards!

  • New foes means new treasures. Seven new Monster Infrequents have been added alongside new minibosses.

  • Three new Legendary weapons have been added to the game. Where they are found, that’s a mystery for you to solve!

  • A new power rises in the world of Cairn. Discover Celestial Monster Totems, offering fresh challenges.

  • Namadea, the Wendigo Ancient beneath Barrowholm, now has two Monster Infrequents unique to her rather than dropping a selection of Monster Infrequents from Wendigo enemies. Forgotten Gods expansion is not required to acquire these items.

  • Anasteria, now has two Monster Infrequents unique to her, in addition to her Legendary helmet.

[Shattered Realm]

  • Nemesis bosses now give more progress towards completing a chunk at higher shards (up to 100% more at shards 60+)

  • Outcast’s Secret can no longer drop in the Shattered Realm

[Crucible]

  • Outcast’s Secret can no longer drop in the Crucible

[Animation]

  • Increased Animation Speed on Leap, Disengage, Teleport and Rush type movement skills by 30%

[Tech]

  • All summoned pets are now unsummoned if equipment affecting their skill level is removed. Previously, this only affected invincible player-scaling pets (ex. Blade Spirits).

  • Increased number of sound slots to 128 to alleviate rare situations where certain game sounds would not play because the previous limit of 64 had been reached.

  • Fixed skills such as Ravenous Earth sometimes appearing in non playable space when using a controller.

[Game]

  • Reduced All monster resists by ~5% on Elite and Ultimate difficulties in Singleplayer (monster resists continue to scale up with additional players). This change is compensated by an across the board adjustment to Resist Reduction skills in all masteries.

  • The Barrowholm dungeon now has additional hero types in its spawn pools and spawns more heroes in general.

Oh nice!

3388

Yeah, I have no idea if this really adds anything of value, but the fact that they took an update to just take the places in the game that have always looked like they should go somewhere and make them actually go somewhere is pretty cool.

3389

Now I have no excuse not to make a whole new character and run through the entire game + dlc YET AGAIN.

Seriously. These folks know how to support a game. It’s up to #2 on my Steam game time list only a few hours behind Pillars of Eternity and this has me wanting to go another round. I will resist so I can play other games but I’m keeping Grim Dawn installed and available for whenever I have another chance.

Can’t wait for another game from Crate. Hope GD has been good to them.

3391

Same! I think I’m ready for a new game at this point. Love Grim Dawn but I’m ready for a change of scenery and a fresh take.

3392

909 hours currently…probably crack 1k now.

3393

Crate are working on a future game, but there isn’t much out there about it, beyond a screenshot of what is hinted at a medieval town builder. But that was a long time ago now, or so it seems.

3394

Their Future Projects forum section has some artwork posted, if that means anything. As seen in the thumbnail below.

2 Questions dudes:

  1. Are there any particular mod recommendations? I am not thinking of something that adds content or retunes loot or how skills work. Anything that helps with the UI, QoL, and graphics I would be very interested in. I am also considering an experience gain mod, are there ones that are particularly good?

  2. How do you guys minimise RSI risk in action RPGs? I think I am going to have to change over to the control scheme where when you select a skill it autofires to where the mouse is (to avoid that mouse click). But how do I get around the left and right mouse click skills? Is there a way to autoattack or some other scheme that is effective?

Cheers

(EDIT: never mind, decided to give chronicon a go instead of firing up Grim Dawn again)

3396

Gamepad works pretty well.

3397

Honestly I never thought of playing an Action RPG with a gamepad. I’ve tried it in Grim Dawn and Chronicon now and I must say I like it. The only real pain is inventory stuff.

3398

I play at my desk, so I just switch to m+kb when I head back to town.

3399

GD is especially good at switching between M&K and controller. You can also bind a hotkey to movement in GD so you don’t have to mouse click so much. The only thing I use my mouse for in Diablo or GD is direction, I have everything else remapped to a hotkey. But yah, controller is great in GD.

3400

I learned this trick early on for both movement and attack as the incessant clicking while playing in living room drove my wife crazy.

3401

That’s at least as important as not getting an RSI lol.

3402

Once you done with GD there’s always the updated version of their Greek Lore Hack and Slash that I’ve forgotten the name of.
