Also two additional difficulties and 2 end game rogue dungeons ( town portal does not work inside these areas). Also to note that you get to choose 2 classes during level up so potential class combinations are 15 + 6 (if you stay just one class).

If you are into competitive part of aRPG and only enjoy playing with friends than PoE is probably better, otherwise GD is a superior aRPG.

I heard grim dawn also has a hardcore mode where if you die ingame you also die in real life

Yes there's hardcore mode, when you die you have to restart from level 1. Also there are 4 difficulties: (1) Normal > (2) Veteran > (3) Elite > (4) Ultimate. Normal and veteran are available from the start and you have to finish the game to unlock Elite ans so on with Ultimate..

Assault_1 is absolutely spot on.

Really great game especially for it's price.

Yep. I picked it up and love it. Thankfully some friendly people already have put a lot of time and thought into it and made detailed guides on the forums that are pretty accessible (even for the current build "B29"). Otherwise it would be too deep for me. Lots of theorycrafting possible Though I really would love the possibility to play as a team via servers. But I guess that won't be coming.

Playing as team can be easily done. Whoever hosts a game puts TL into name of game and some password shared in this topic. Then other TL members can first check the list of available servers and if none from TL exists create their own Host with TL in the name.

Interesting, I'll do that if I find the time =) Though I'm still lurking on normal.

This game released yesterday. I started playing it for the first time today and it actually feels really nice. The combat system feels smoother than PoE and it looks darker than D3 (I'm not a fan of the cartoony style). One thing I havent really experienced yet is how global it is. It appears if you select campaign mode you don't really communicate with the rest of the players playing it. Unless I'm doing something wrong
Anyone else have any feedback so far?

Game is a lot of fun! The skill tree in combination with the Devotion skill tree means you can play a pretty wide variety of builds, so there is a good amount of replay value in terms of making new toons. I haven't experienced any late game content tho, i died a few times around lvl 50 (i play hardcore), but the builds/skills have been fun enough to keep me playin and tryin new stuff, but hopefully i will live passed lvl 50 some day! While the gameplay overall feels slower than PoE/D3, it has a nice 'weight' to it, and the main part of it feels great, ie; killing shit feels pretty awesome.
As someone who has about 400 hrs of D3, and at least 1500 hrs on PoE (PoE being my main aRPG), Grim Dawn is a great addition to those of us who are getting a little bored of our usual grind, i can easily recommend Grim Dawn to anyone interested in a different flavor of aRPG.

Picked it up randomly on Steam today because I needed something to do on my lazy sunday and I'm really impressed. The control feels a little clumsy at first but the atmosphere is really dark and depressing. The music is also very nice kind of reminds me playing diablo 2 the first time when i was a kid. The character builds seem to be quite deep too and i'm loving my pyromancer

Does anyone else have trouble clicking on enemies in this game compared to Diablo 2? I tried turning the auto clicker or whatever it is called on, and it is a little better. However, I still find to be a struggle just to click on the enemy I want to attack. My cursor will be over him but it won't register you wanting to attack that target unless your mouse is a very specific spot on the enemy.

rolling warder.
huge fan of titan quest, best game of this type since diablo 2 easily.
lvl 47 now, playing since 2 days ago. LOVING it.
check out grim dawn froums too.

Great game, feels like Titan Quest except better.
Died with a witchhunter to some random shrine boss at like lvl 25(lol), instant gib by some lighting aoe. Playing a warder now and it's much easier, stuff just dies instantly.

One piece of advice to all new players: farm Manticore eyes before level 50. Else they are never going to drop on a Normal difficulty. You'll need hella lot of them on a next difficulties for crafting.
You can break some expensive items (Rare, Epic quality) into Scrap and Components at a Devil's Crossing Inventor after finishing up the little extra quest instead of farming/buying them out from the merchants in a dire need.
And here are some that may ruin surprise of a (unpleasant) discovery, but would save you a significant amount of (farming) time.
+ Show Spoiler +Tainted Brain Matter is the second most rarest drop in the game, don't give it up for quests unnecessarily.
Before entereing Bastion of Chaos / Steps of Torment with a Skeleton Key, make sure you have at least 30k and at least one or two empty bags for valuable loot in stash. On the last level of each, before the boss there is a merchant (sometimes he didn't spawn for me at BoC, don't know if it's a bug or a feature) who sells random Relic Blueprint (and some monster specific Rares) and his prices aren't consumer friendly, he won't buy any of your goods either.
Don't finish the last boss quest (you can kil the bastard, but don't report it to the authorities) before your character gets level 50 in order to guarantee a random Legendary item prize.
As for the game - fucking love it. Beating it on a Ultimate is quite a challenge (haven't yet overcome it myself due to lack of time). It takes 500 hours on average, it seems.

For a longtime Titans Quest fan like me this is a dream, its more or less TQ 2 with all the improvements one wished while playing the original. Got 4-5 Chars to 20-25 by now because i can never decide what to play and there is always "this variaton of classes & skills sounds fun too, lets try it!" :-)
I am just wondering how much influence do my decisions have ? Like the choice between the 2 smiths in the firsts quests, is it just flavor or any difference?

Many decisions have a consequence, some bigger some lesser. Smith one is a bigger one because one will enchant physical modifiers into weapons while other will enchant magical modifiers.
Later you get to choose which faction to support at cost of another and their vendors are also focused on different types of modifiers and skill builds.
Question for people that finished the game at least on Normal: + Show Spoiler +The witch you save from burning at stake in Act 3, does she show up later? I have not played the game after they introduced Act 4 and beyond and I always saved her because why not :D
|
Been deciding if to get this game for a few days now, the reviews on steam and in general are amazing, if i wasn't so short on cash atm i'd of instantly bought it.
Still gonna pick it up sometime in the near future though, looks great, suprised it isn't more popular on twitch though!
