that with the expansion intact, that the campaign is far too long now? I feel that the game is running into the same issue Path of Exile once did before it recently introduced 10 acts and one difficulty curve with the removal of cruel and merc. I personally hope that down the line, if sales surpass expectations, and if there is a 2nd xpac, that they do away with the outdated 3 difficulty system.
Besides that, the necro journey thus far has been really fun, and the new zones are gorgeous.
You can skip the expansion in Normal and Elite. Also no, i don’t think the 3 difficulty campaign will never change without some massive restructuring, which would be too much work just for some people who find this “outdated”.
Long? No way. I personally not only playing GD for the building autism and gameplay… I’m playing it for the story and rich lore. And so far, nothing’s resolved in terms of the actual plot.
Big Z mentioned that the story can have an open-like ending, i.e. we can keep fighting Aetherials and the cult forever. I absolutely don’t agree with this. Judging by what our characters did during their journey, they 100% can at least quell the threat.
Having an open ending for ARPG that thrives on it’s lore is simply nonsencical, I think.
I am personally of the opinion that, if you have a couple or six maxed out toons, that you ought to be able to farm an ultra rare item or two that let you auto-level a new toon to either 50, or 75.
The grind between 55-75 is the true drudge, in my opinion.
But this is perhaps a loot issue, because I swear the gap between 50 kit and 75 kit is rather lacking in interesting stuff between.
Lmao I got bored after 30 hrs or so grinding in Ultimate Grim Dawn really need MOARRR content. Irdk wut the fk r u thinking really aint more = better? Why the heck do u want less anyways??? U wanna pay 17 bucks for 3 hrs or 30 hrs? Seriously dude if u find it hard go download the cheat program Grim tool or sth like that?
Running once of twice trough, sure. But the last playtrough is a bit tedious. Not sure how it works out for others here but every toon I build, the core of it (all skills, devotions) I get between 50-55. Meaning everything past that is just making the build better with no drastic gameplay changes. Running two more times trough all the areas… I’d rather run veteran again with a new toon
do you go to your boss and say “I make too much money, please pay me less” or to a restaurant say “wow this is really too much food for me to eat, please take it back and give me less.” wtf dude you make no sense.
this makes no sense as it has nothing to do with what he is asking. He’s not asking for less content. He’s asking to not have to grind the same content 3 times. You could easily get rid of Elite difficulty and it would have almost zero effect on the amount of time it takes to grind to 100. Just would get you to ultimate faster which is where the game is at it’s funnest.
Taking Elite away would be a nightmare for the devs to balance the game properly to make it work, and it would be HELL for new players as well, due to the difficulty progression from one difficulty to another being lost…
What could’ve done at most in this case, is if they make so that you unlock both Elite and Ultimate at once when you beat Normal, then you could just rush Elite to do the Kasparov/Hidden Path quests, then move to Ultimate.
That’s actually something I wished was present. Not sure whether it’s possible to implement it now but it would be really great. Playing the same stuffs thrice is too much but having the normal/veteran for intro/beginning and then moving to elite/ultimate would be much better. If someone wants to play casually, they can play on Elite and when he/she wants more challenge, they could simply opt for Ultimate and continue with the progress of Elite. The current model is quite outdated and tiresome in most cases.
