So where you guys at in Grim Dawn?
Stop shilling this fucking game.
Right now I'm playing a 40 Warden spec for Tanking, with Bull, Shield and Turtle completed. Starting the Tower to get more points in Water.
>>332520567
How is it shilling to post a post about a game I'm playing?
I though I would enjoy it as much as TQ, but I've been mistaken. Since I don't have NEET friends to play with and enjoy the game, and this game has shitty story telling I've dropped it for now.
>>332521329
What? I've probably enjoyed this more than Titan Quest, what made you stop? It's a great game with a lot of stuff to do in.
>>332520567
No ones forcing you to come to the thread you fucking faggot
>>332520469
Got to ultimate difficulty and dropped it . Every fucking legendary i was getting was useless for my spec and it got really old really quickly
I'm halfway through Elite on my Conjurer main, I need a 2h lightning weapon so bad, I'm still stuck using a level 58 weapon and I'm level 70
>>332521471
Are you playing single player mainly? I guess I got burned out at the beginning, got bored and cheated like a retard, even though I knew it would kill my interest for a long time.
I'll give it a try again, that's for sure.
Meh, I just can't bring myself to play this for more than half a hour or so. It's just so fucking boring and the soundtrack is putting me to sleep.
>>332522425
I'm solo only. I had no real problem playing long period of times. Even farming reputation is okay.
>>332520567
what else should be talk about on /v/, you fucking retard?
>>332520469
got 2 lvl 85 chars with about every item the game has to offer, after about playing for 150 hours
it's a great game, but only for the first run and maybe the first time you start a different build
most of the high level chars get fucked over because the best items only cater to a fraction of the possible builds, at best there is exactly 1 item for each slot that is good and at worst you have to settle with low level or low quality trash
then again, there is nothing much to do that would actually require gearing up that much
also when it comes to mechanics, having 11 different damage kinds just needlessly bloats up the game when all you have to do is get % reduction to each damage type
also giving +x% of damage type y on each item fucks up the itemization in more than one way
Leveling a spellbreaker after I lost my level 85 elementalist to an unlucky crit from Fabius.
>>332522865
I really cant handle losing a character after hours of play. For me hardcore only really work in short games of 1 hours and half max like Binding of Isaac
BoredomQuest 2.0? No, thank you.
>>332523282
So I take it you didnt like Titan Quest? Did you like Diablo 2?
It's seriously mind-boggling how they only have about 10 max level items for each type that cover about 8 out of ~50 possible builds. There is absolutely no point in searching for items because you know that you can't use 99% of them and you will have seen them all after running each dungeon a couple of times.
>>332523478
What kind of question is that?
>>332523554
They are both similar games. If you liked Diablo 2 and didnt like Titan Quest, I wonder why. If you didnt like Diablo 2 either, then I just think you dont like ARPG.
>>332523502
Well I think the point is not to get the perfect item? I'm Soldier Shaman, and the best item I got so far was +1 in every skill for Soldier and Demolitionist
Is there any way to boost your rep with Undead And Ch'tonians and ect?
>>332523864
Titan Quest is slow, attacks and spells don't sound good, spells effects are very basic. All in all, it is very bland and boring. I liked the Greek setting but I couldn't bring myself further than level 25 or so.
Meanwhile Diablo 2 and its mods is still considered apex of its genre, even after 18 years. Rightfully so, might I add.
Finished the game in veteran and then in the same difficulty.
Pyromancer (Demo + Warlock or whatever the name is)
Didnt have a single active skill through the 40 hours that I spent playing it.
The customization is great at first but like every ARPG, you will always go through the same options to max. your attack or else you will eventually be unable to advance in the game.
The map itself is literally a corridor with little to explore.
The AI is one of the worst I have seen in an ARPG
Still the best game of this genre since Titan Quest.
>>332524535
Weird, I liked Titan Quest. The skill system is interesting, seeing mobs fly across the screen from a crit is great fun and it look amazing.
And the expansion is even better with new types of items.
I wonder if the Grim Dawn expansion will bring as much new content.
I played through normal and had zero desire to play higher difficulties, I felt the game dragged a lot, maybe because it's one big land mass and acts don't feel different at all, very little variety environment wise. I loved TQ with soulvizier mod so I'll wait until mods for GD start rolling out and give it another try.
I'm playing the superior Path of Exile.
>>332524974
Well Path of Exile is Online only and is really different. They are two different games in the same genre.
>>332523142
I don't mind, it keeps the game fresh as long as I keep trying new builds when my best character dies. Probably the reason why I'm still playing after 500 hours.
>>332523864
>the point is not to get the perfect item
The issue is, that there is no perfect item for most slots, because 90% of the items fit only 1 specific build with 1 specfic weapon type, while most builds have nothing.
Soldier Shaman for example, would be perfect for a 2hand phys. damage build. But guess what... the best 2handed weapon is a level 50. Thats right, every high level legendary / epic weapon is ass for this build except for this one low level 50. And that's just weapons, the other slots have similar problems.
Yet if you go lightning you will suddenly find that there is a good lightning item for every slot, which is one of the few build types that has perfect itemization.
So as soldier/shaman you either go 2handed lightning or get rekt.
>>332525231
>Online only
you say that like you're not constantly connected to the internet
>>332525737
I work in a inuit village half the year. I have a 5000 ms ping at home and around 800 ms at work.
I CANT play PoE online. That's a major drawback for me.
>>332525731
There's an armor set for almost every damage type.
>>332525719
Yeah, I get the appeal, it's just that for me I would just quit and never finish the game. I'm a ragequitter type of guy. I have friends who do Hardcore PoE and I cant understand how they dont get angry when they lose a lvl 50-60 they spent like 20 hours on.
>>332525932
>Inuit
Sorry.
>>332525731
>Soldier Shaman for example, would be perfect for a 2hand phys. damage build.
Are you high?
https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/8488-Stormreaver
I am literally atm playing an ultimate 2handed warder this moment
>>332526107
>>332525731
Ok I read that wrong becasue you apparently meant a full 100% physical build? What kind of bullshit is that that makes Shaman nearly worthless apart from like 2 proccs which both do lightning and bleed damage.
>>332526073
It's not that bad. Just really cold. I mostly stay inside and play video games.
>>332525731
https://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/8449-Leviathan
This is the level 75 physical two handed weapon.
>>332520469
Enjoying Human Revolution Director's Cut that I purchased with my refund.
>>332525968
no, they only cater to prominent builds such as lightning warder / trickster, or fire commando etc
yet every class combination has already 2 or 3 possible builds, multiplied with 2 or 3 possible damage and weapon types, so the items they offer are either completely skewed towards one specific build with one specifc weapon and one specific damage type or non existant
>>332526236
>>332526451
the main issue is that you lose a huge percentile of your damage due to useless damage conversions
right now the highest damage build is a 100% pierce damage dual wield melee blademaster (fastest mogdrogen kill on ultimate)
the damage is that high, because it gets rid of all the useless damage types (in this case physical and cold) with a 100% pierce conversion and only leaves a single source of damage that can be combined with a huge amount of resistance reduction
yet the itemization for this build is more than lackluster, because every piece of blademaster armor always gets fucked up with cold damage and other useless crap
at least there are some decent legendary weapons, yet the green lvl 70 dermarapteran claws do just as well
>>332527268
Legendaries start to drop at 50 right? Are they random drops or mostly bosses?
>>332527268
There's no damage conversion on Leviathan, yes it does have a bonus to cold damage but it's all physical except for the proc which is still mostly physical.
>>332527263
>director's cut
>>332528197
Anything above level 50 has a chance to drop a legendary then there are different levels of legendary gear with the highest being 75.
I found the best way to farm them was killing nemeses in Elite, it's so much faster than Ultimate and the droprate isn't that different, plus less risks of getting rekt. I wouldn't recommend farming Ultimate nemeses with a HC char until you are fully geared with the absolute best stuff.
My favorite farming spot is Four Hills, Hanneffy Mine and Cronley's Hideout, it's always full of champions and purple bosses.
>>332528197
Yes. They can drop randomly from any enemy. Drop chances increase with difficulty.
Best sources are challenge dungeons, bosses, one shot chests, treasure troves, hero monsters, cleansing shrines. In that order.
There is also a smith in elite and above that will create random legendaries in exchange for rare materials.
>>332528252
You are right. I never really noticed that. Though I went lightning damage anyway, so I never paid attention to it's stats.
But still, that extra cold damage could have been crit damage or + all damage.
>>332528858
How often do the nemesis spawn? I farmed to nemesis for like an hour and a half, did 3 runs after I reached it and got no spawns.
Resorted to just running the Treasure Trove in Spined cove with the 90 dynamites I got from the mines because it's so much easier and you at least guaranteed to get a crafting material out of it. Had 3 legendaries drops in a row from the chest that way.
There is really no point in farming enemies anymore which is why I can't force myself to continue playing.
>>332529518
A nemesis has a 100% chance to spawn but you won't know where until you check all the spawn locations. That's why Fabius is one of the easiest to farm since he's only in bandit areas.
Treasure troves aren't guaranteed to spawn
Path of Exile is better while being free.
>>332529785
Weird, I ran all the locations except for ones at the beginning of act 2. I can't imagine I got so unlucky.
>Treasure troves aren't guaranteed to spawn
Yes they are. They just spawn in different location in an area. Spined cove has 2 locations up and down from the entrance which is why it's such an easy way to farm. A chest run is about 2-3 minutes even on Ultimate.
>>332529963
Is your game up to date? I'm pretty sure that latest hotfix made the Treasure Troves random, I got plenty of Spined Cove runs without finding any.
>>332530423
I'm on 1.0.0.2. I have the 20000 points to nemesis reduction so I think I have the latest one.
Chests spawn every time for me just in one of the two spots in the area.
>>332529963
>>332529785
Most but not all guaranteed trove spawn locations have been removed. The only remaining one I can think about is at the Shrine of the Forgotten God in the Blood Grove.
>>332520469
Level 50 fire strike commando. Alternate between 2h ranged when I need to clear crowds and sword and board when things get hairy
What is a good class combo/build if I want to be a wizard type class? Needs to be viable since I don't want to hit a brickwall hours into the game. Arcanist is one obviously, not sure about the other.
If I enjoyed Diablo 3 and RoS will I like Grim Dawn?
>>332532270
I think so.
>>332532020
Demolitionist
>>332532525
Are there staves in this game? If not I guess I can go pistols for my wizard build.
>>332533698
There are wands and scepters and off hands.
I'm actually playing Demolitionist/Arcanist dual pistol build but it relies entirely on fire strike+elemental exchange and all the elemental buffs. So it's a glorified elemental aa build.
If you want to cast spells from the arcanist category I think wands or one handed melee weapons are better.
>>332534434
Can you dual wield wands?
>>332520469
lost 2 hc chars in a 2 week time span because of lag-freeze and bugs. Currently unistalling. fuck this game
>>332537170
Weird, have not had this kind of problem really. What is your FPS?
Aхyeннaя игpa ! Bceм coвeтyю.
>>332535926
Yes. I think they count as melee weapons so you need special items to dual wield them like with pistols.
>>332537545
Artyom, go back home you are drunk.
Based upon the few legendaries I have:

http://gracefuldusk.appspot.com/items/7776-The-Peerless-Eye-of-Beronath
What build should my next character be? A few I was interested in have an item or two that might be helpful eventually, like a cold/phys Nightblade or a Poison caster thing or something.
>>332537384
usually above 40-45 at all times but sometimes I get lag spikes and I drop at 20, usually when there are area transitions through rifts or when entering caves/catacombs. Even if I try to use potions, the effect is delayed and I end up dead
Is it worth playing on softcore loot-wise?
>>332538689
I'm playing softcore and it's pleasant.
>>332538376
Poison caster might be cool.
>>332538905
Yeah I think there's a functional build for it on the forums but I'm not sure how gear-intensive it is.
>>332539531
Well it probably require a lot of poison damage gear, but the potential in AOE is pretty great.
>>332522643
only dark souls and bloodborne is that even a question?
>>332537545
don't trust pavel, that fucking commie nigger

this game look nice, is there a necromancer-like class?
What is the point of Fort Haron, is there any quest that make you go there?
>>332540726
Kymons chosen have you go there for a quest and some bounties
>>332540682
Shaman/Arcanist or Ocultist/Nightblade seem pretty good having a lot of minions.
I have a Shaman Soldier and only have 1 pet.
http://grimdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Occultist
>that's not even my true form
>>332538376
Bump for more input or something
>>332520469
I'm at the refunded stage.
Why? No decent pet/summoning class. Get the fuck out of here with that shit and come back with a finished dungeon crawler.
>>332542440
But you do have classes with pets and combining them together make a good summoning class.
>>332542440
The Occulist class is pretty much a summoner class. You wanted Skeletons?
>>332543425
not him but i sure do
>>332543639
I hope that mods make it possible then. They are coming pretty soon.
