Grim Dawn (i.e. the REAL Diablo 2 sequel)

1.2 is finally out in the wild, I think I’ll keep playing with my current char which is a Warder (and maybe a bit of leveling on my old poopy first char the SpellBreaker) over the weekend and then next week start an Oppressor or a Sentinel char.

I decided to give this a bash (for the 3rd time) and I think I’ve finally gotten in to it!

I always wanted a D2 replacement and tried GD before but I wasn’t feeling it. Last weekend I created a new character and damn, this game feels good to play!

I chose Occultist and Veteran difficulty. My main in D2 was the Necro, so this does make sense. I think I deliberately chose other classes in the past to try something new, but sometimes familiar things are good.

I assume you only have the base version, the Ashes of Malmouth expansion has a Necro class.

I usually burn myself out, and take a massive break. Break has ended…

I started playing but didn’t have the energy to learn classes and such. Maybe I’ll take some time to learn, it does seem pretty fun

Incredible! What does the GD Necro play like? Occultist already feels quite similar. I’ve got curses, summons and poison spells.

I have not played it actually lol. I’m going to start a half necro(coz GD builds are two classes) this week sometime so will see.

Killing Loghorrean on normal (veteran or not) is supposed to unlock elite and ultimate difficulty. But only if you haven’t done it yet. Now I need to go and kill that tentacle porn freak with all my old characters, else I’m going to ultimate difficulty, the long ass way. :man_facepalming:

Don’t you have at least one char on Ultimate? Then you can just use a Merit token from the Forgotten Gods DLC Faction?

Nope, highest is lvl 80, but still Elite :man_facepalming:

Oh well. I’ll just have to take the highest one to ultimate, the old fashioned way, then use those tokens for the others.

Myself and @aldyr recently started a self found game that we play together.
I wonder if we should have a lekke MEW group together and do something similar. I still have a few character types I have in mind to try out, maybe a crossbow type next.

Otherwise I’m always keen to just jump in wherever. I’m no longer confused since I’ve melted many hours since I restarted. Only thing is that my schedule is a little messed up still, generally only available after 10pm.

I think I have characters that are with in 10 levels of any level. So, can join any a higher character if you don’t want to start from absolutely nothing. Though, most of them, I was winging it, so they may not be the strongest :joy:

Your honour, I did indeed see @Dragonic start playing at 01h30.

I don’t open steam too much these days, but I would like to play some Grim Dawn at some point :slight_smile:

Damn those armour sets looks flippen amazing! Especially the floaty ch’thon one.

I was wondering the same thing haha.

Gonna be a challenge with load shedding.

Also, how will level differences work… Like if you’re all level 30 and I rock up with a new character, for example…

I think this is part of the things we would confirm, do we all create new characters, or does everyone just wanna hop in here and there while others are playing. but if you drop in with a new character and others are higher level we can just drag you along and you can level up as long as you are close by, but stay away from the fights at the same time.

Shame, that guy has a hole in his head.

Looking up some crate forum threads on multiplayer scaling, says it becomes easier the higher the difficulty (assuming everyone has a good gear and build). So, I’d like to suggest early characters, so I can run for my life a bit. Anything under 30 is fine by me.

As for scheduling, loadshedding and my general randomness is going to be a pain in the ass. But I will be on tonight, after dinner time. Will drop a chocolate in front of netflix, to lure the wife away.

Woah… All of them?
