Anyone here play Grim Dawn?

only $5 in steam wallet so nope. maybe next year.

I haven't but I'm still teetering on whether or not I'm buying it.
Not sure if it's worth it.

>>321502123
I will, just the moment you sell me on the game. I'm sitting on the checkout screen, and I can't tell if I want a single player Diablo 2.5 badly enough.

When's the official release? Next week?

>>321502123
I pirated it today and am enjoying the shit out of it so far. Just finished the Warden which I assume is the Act 1 boss.

Is it out of Early Access?

It's a simple yes or no question, that is all that is required to answer that question.

Bought it to play with a friend. I'm enjoying it, rolling as a spellbreaker and enjoying it. Haven't finished the first act yet though.

I've racked up a few hours, mostly in earlier builds though. Planning to start a new HC character soon.

You can host a server or join other peoples' servers through a server list like any other multiplayer game.

I bought it a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it.
I really like how you can customize your class, something that was missing from Diablo 3. World and story aren't nothing new thus far and graphic-wise it's good but not great.
It's a lot of fun if you play it with a friend.

GD, as well as PoE, are solid choices if you want to play this kind of games.

The most important question is, is there a summoner/necromancer class/build where you can have more then 3 minions?
>>
>>321503902
Yep. Occultist/Shaman for maximum pets.
>>
>>321504000
How many pets can I have? And is it a viable build?
>>
>>321504059
Potentially a lot. But for the most viable build you're going to want to take other skills. I'd say 5-6 minions for a decent summoner build.

The game looks fun, is there anything to do after clearing the campaign? End game content like uber dungeons?

Is there a Diablo 2 necromancer equivalent that has like 20 skeletons and 20 revived enemies?

>>321504881
I haven't seen them myself yet but there's supposed to be some sort of "roguelike" dungeons at endgame. Then there's a survival mode coming sometime, i think.

February 2016

They're in the final stages of releasing content and features and another patch for tuning and balancing the game. After that, the game will be out of early access
>>
>>321504881
It's like most Diablolikes where NG+ and NG++ have harder enemies and scaled loot.
>>
>>321504881
There are three difficulties, required to hit every devotion shrine and max your character. it gets pretty hard. you also have bounties and faction rewards to work toward, plus the random dungeons. survival mode is coming in the next patch (it was a kickstarter stretch goal, so they didn't start working on it until recently).

It's not quite as robust as rifts/grifts in D3 or maps in PoE, but there is a lot of content and they have a significantly-large expansion sketched out already.
>>
>>321504881
Yes, there are more difficulties and a "roguelike" dungeon, you have to craft a key each time you want to try it and dying means you have to restart from the top, and mob level is scaled from yours.

>>321504816

Nope, you have occultist and druid which together get you 5 or so pets.

I've played like 30 hours so far. The end game builds look fun as hell but everything leading up to it kinda sucks. I absolutely hate the early game.

It's Diablo 3 with better itemization and characterization but worse action and combat and skills
>>
>>321505604

Welcome to 95% of all ARPGs.
>>
>>321505441
Each pet is actually pretty powerful, with a good amount of skills but yeah you'd have an easier time getting a lot of summons on D3 with witch doctor.
>>
>>321504584

I hate to be that guy, but this looks really slow, movement wise.

Is there a way to make your characters run faster naturally without using some skill or buff?

Like is there a "faster run/walk" mod on items?

Because that runspeed is really slow.
>>
>>321505627
It's especially bad here though. D2 early game still feels somewhate fun to me, this shit is mind numbing.
>>
>>321505441
You get a hellhound that shits fire everywhere, a briarthorn beast that hurts everybody even trying to hit it, a raven that buffs, heals and shoots lightning and a manticore with stuns and poison if you max out your shaman mastery.
All of them except the manticore are permanent summons, the hellhound can be resummoded anytime so that the previous one explodes and blows enemies up. Then you get like 1-3 other summons depending on your gear.
>>
anyone want to play gd or poe?

im kinda experienced in both post steams

>>321505727

Melee in diablo 2, in the beginning, is probably one of the worst experiences ever in video gaming once you've done it a few times.

Seriously, starting a barb is awful, unless you are one of those really weird fucks that enjoy double throw.

My question was simple.

Can I have 30+ minions?

If not, game = trash.

This special snowflake literal who "pet" squad that can fit in a car is shit, I don't give two fucks how special they are and what they do.

If I don't have a legion of them, I don't care.

5 dudes is fucking shit.

>>321505882
Yeah I'm really fucking tired of this stuff. They added one new skill in the new Devotion tree that summons skellies on enemy kill but they die after a short period. I miss pet spam so fucking much.

Endgame is a fucking chore though, but if you want a shitload of minions you get them there. There's the hounds, a spider, slimes, fetishes, the gargantuan that can be split in three. Too bad most of them are timed, you can still get 15 summons on the screen at once tho.

That's because PoE has idiots for developers you can hardly find another ARPG where the balance is so shitty.

You can get 15 fetish sycophants, 8 from legion of daggers with Starmetal Kukri to make them permanent, up to 5 (or 6?) (or 1 superstrong dog if you have the ring) zombie dogs, 1 gargantuan (3 if you have the ring) and a short period hex pet.

There's a spirit guide in the back of the prison in Devil's Crossing that lets you buy back skillpoints/devotion points at a rising cost.

You can't change your classes or refund stat points, however.
>>
>>321507298
There's a set that makes them permanent though only affects the fetishes summoned by your Fetish Army skill. You still have to proc the sycophants summon. You can have as much as 23 fetishes total.

It's mostly contrarians, honestly.

If it came out in the 90's, amongst the greats it calls back to, it might be considered simply "good." But it came out in 2015, and it's an honest labour of love towards the genre.

It's not a great CRPG, but it's a good CRPG. And honestly, it's great that it even exists. Hopefully Obsidian uses the solid foundation that Pillars of Eternity has laid out, and builds something great on top of it for the sequel.
>>
>>321508538
PoE's biggest flaw is the fact that nothing it does is new, which is intentional since it's a big old nostalgia trip. One thing Obsidian mentioned is that PoE II will have a less familiar setting, so that probably means they will break from conventions a little more and try newer things.
>>
>>321508538
But it's not. Everything falls flat in PoE. Combat, story, characters. Nothing was particularly well done.
>>
>>321505882
In Path of Exile you can easily have 30 minions. Summon Raging Spirits is the way to play.

>>321508226
>D3 is actually the only one that lets you summon over 30 pets.

What is PoE?
>>
>>321509021
Personally I think everything is done "well enough."

It's good, flawed, but good. It showed me that there was still a chance for this genre in the modern day industry.

I'd say it's on par with Divinity: Original Sin.

I think we're overly critical of it because it was being heralded as the return of the genre. And while it sort of is, it's not the return of the genre to the heights it once was with the likes of Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Fallout, etc.

You spend points to progress your class. You also spend points for skills. You can refund skill points for a price but not the points you used for class progression.

Most likely not, there's a skill unlockable through devotion that gives you a 25% chance to summon a skeleton when a enemy dies, max two summons at level one but it can be brought up to level ten or twelve I think.

The point is that pets in this game are fucking powerful most of the time, having 20 of them would make it cakewalk, and six is already overkill in the first run.

>>321508320
Grim Dawn is one of the best, if not the best, ARPG to come out since Diablo II. But ARGPs are weird and stilted, and haven't really changed much mechanically since Diablo.

If you want a familiar but really fun ARPG, you'll enjoy Grim Dawn.

If you're looking for something wholly unique and new, while equally fun and significantly more challenging get Darkest Dungeon.

Really though, get both.

Trading all of this shit, need summoner gear.

Also the final boss on Elite is absolute bullshit, with 80% chaos resistance I die in 10 seconds.

I'm "testing for free" the game right now and the one thing that keeps me from buying it is the devotion system.
I've checked some guides, but still keep wondering how flexible it really is. How late are the final constellations available? Do you just begin to scrape on mid-level ones by the end of basic difficulty?
This seems like a really cool idea, but being forced to choose and be stuck with some boring ones for the most of the game just to reach what I really want at the very end-game doesn't feel very enticing.

>loved Titan Quest IT
>cant get myself to play Grim Dawn

I stopped at level 25 or 26, its pretty dull for me, IT had the mythology stuff going for it but this is just ... meh, its pretty much "use AoE damage - the game" which is a shame, considering it has the same devs as IT I expected a bit more.

Is this the sort of game where you have a singplayer campaign where you build up your character for different multiplayer levels or are the single- and multiplayer levels the same?
>>
>>321502123
Have had it in my inventory for a while now and actually wanted to play it a few days ago - but then I saw that the full release will be at the beginning of February so I am waiting for that one now.

Bought it 8 or 10 months ago and played 260 hours. Also Im supposed to hate ARPG. I despise every single one to them even Diablo 2 and Titan Quest. But this game here got me so hooked up I cannot stop playing. In my top 5.

Seems like there's no point in grinding becayse everything scales to your level.

Things scale to your level (within limits), not to your items, devotion points, etc.

So does anybody else get that bug in multi player where melee enemies will attack you from a distance?

On my client the enemy is close to me, on friend's client the enemy is far away and hitting him.

So I just started playing, this game is pretty awesome so far. I made a Shaman and I've just been going HAMMER TIME all over the place with the lightning proc skill.

What's a good secondary to take with a melee Shaman? Soldier seems a bit boring, so I'm thinking Nightblade for melee shenanigans (ignoring the DW tree because dual wielding is for faggots who don't have a giant hammer) or maybe Arcanist for more lightning.
>>
>Buy game
>No summoner class

>>
>>321527767
Soldier works well with Shaman, loads of abilities to make you hammerier.

Nightblade/Shaman has some cool options but more centered towards bleed damage, but you might still be able to get it to work.

If you do go NB, put a point in Phantasmal Blades and Focused Throw, the damage is insane with a 2H.

Okay, I saw that they finally added all the content they wanted.

Question: are there some new +aether damage stuff on higher levels? Any changes to aether ray? I'll probably run it through, bu I'm a little preoccupied right now.

Why did nobody find a 2h Soldier/Shaman weapon yet
Did they forget about the Warder class?
Only Nightblade and Occulist shit is dropping for me
>>
>>321530315
The devs seem to hate 2h weapons.
>>
What's good devotions for a DW Blademaster?
Got the falcon one so far for added AOE procs.
>>
>>321531663
You should start by aiming for one of them 3rd tier constellations, then figure out what you need to get from the lower tiers in terms of bonuses for it.
>>
>>321531663
Everything that gives you more pierce damage, resists and OA
>>
Strongest 2h Shaman set weapon is an axe so go for the axe devotion
>>
>>321530353
Then why make the shaman have such great 2h-only skills?
>>
My biggest gripe about GD is that you only ever need like 2 abilities, and different abilities rarely bring anything to the party but a slightly different way to instagib enemies. There's not much real ability synergy beyond picking the abilities that go with the damage type you're using.
>>
Best dual class with demo?

Is there a way to change your secondary class?

I feel like I've fucked up my dude by picking a secondary that has zero synergy with my first class.

They simply nerfed all build variety, right now you only have a few viable cookie cutter builds where before you had literally countless builds to pick from.

How is the multiplayer in this game?

Titan Quest for example had multiplayer but it really wasn't designed to be played in multiplayer, once a mob had aggro on you they'd NEVER switch targets until they died, because well, you are all alone in the single player game and they didn't bother to include this for multiplayer balance.
>>
>>321535826
>a secondary that has zero synergy with my first class.

No such thing. What did you pick?

You can't change it btw, so just re-roll if you don't like it.
>>
>>321535826
No class has zero synergy with another, but to answer your question, no, you can't.
>>
>tfw went occultist
>it's all pets
>every spell is a slight variation of another
This was blatantly designed as a class to take second

You're retarded.

What PoE devs do is they nerf every single thing that is viable to the ground and what you're left with is a boring and shitty passive tree.

Using the Steam Big Picture, you could try to make it controller compatible.

Path of Exile has a Controller schema, so why not.
