Build 29: And Grim Dawn is Content Complete!

[SDN]

Congratulations, Crate!

After extensive deliberation and observation of the Community, we have decided that the best course of action for the longterm health and balance of the game is to remove Completion Bonuses from Components. The ramifications of this change are significant: Components now stack up to 1000, freeing up storage space previously taken up by countless variations of the same Components; Crafting no longer requires you to place items in the UI. Crafting materials are now automatically grabbed from your inventory, personal stash and transfer stash, in that order; With the discrepancy of Completion Bonuses removed, we can more accurately account for player power and balance the game accordingly; We can add more Components in future content without feeling like they are going to take up obscene amounts of player storage. Many Components have been buffed in light of this change.

I often see Grim Dawn talked about on other web sites and this was one of the things that came up every time. I’m sure this will pay off.

Awesome :). Especially the changes to item stacking and crafting are very good. Less cumbersome = more time for playing = more fun.

Merry Xmas Crate and all players out there!

Thank you so much! With the completion bonus removal I have now have no reservations about recommending GD to absolutely everyone.

Does removing completion bonuses include skills?

[Croc]

Yes!!! Finally something to do!

Does removing completion bonuses include skills?

No, components with completion bonuses with skills are now just on the component when it is completed.

Thanks for the ruined holidays from my family, thanks for the awesome christmas present from me. ;D

So many changes, so much to take in - and plenty of time to get right to it.

You guys are awesome, Merry Christmas to all of Crate.

Wow! 1 (!) day before Christmas! You guys are completely retarded! Sorry, but this is the first thing that came to my mind. What a nice Christmas present for us! Also many thanks for the sale. I got another copy as a christmas present for a good friend!

I wish you all a merry Christmas!

Yeah - they are retarted -.- now i have to see how to balance my gametime, because of Holidays incl. Family, Star Wars The Old Republic, because thanks to the Movie i’m addicted to Star Wars again and now also Grim Dawn…

But @Crate: Thank you very much, merry christmas and happy new year!

Is it just me, or was the music… huh… touched up a bit? It sounds different, and by different, I mean much better!

[durruti]

fuck yeah! muchas gracias crate.

happy holidays for the team and their families.

[Ricardeaux]

At first I was so happy at all the new items and skill that can be ranged, but then I saw the component change and all I can say is f**k you guys at crate I rage quit :p. I kid so happy you guys pushed out this update and I’m sure all the new legandarys and the like will make up for the comp bonus loss. Hope you guys have a happy holiday and try to get some rest.

[Sano]

Congratulations.

Now, it’s gaming time!

[Garfunkel]

YES!! Hurray! Merry Christmas to all!

Lol, removal of completion bonuses… SO SMART THO But some exotic resistances will be harder to obtain now. Or will require targeted components that may not be in-sync with the build the player is running.
Anyway, good choice.
I look forward to having fun with my Shaman.
