Contributions - Are we Crazy to Ask?

Answer: No, you’re not crazy.

Absolutely not, all I know is when my credit card finally gets mailed to be from the bank, i know where $50 of it is going :wink:
Keep the awesome work going Crate :smiley:

I hope you are crazy! Being normal equals being boring!

But to prove your craziness you have to come up with something better than this!

You’re net crazy at all.
In my opinion your courage to develop this game without a publisher on your own needs to be rewarded. Your advantage is that you’re free to do what ever comes in your mind without having to justify yourself.
I’m sure that Grim Dawn will be let’s call it “The Next Big Thing”. By ordering the game pre-release many people show their confidence in a great game to you, and so do I.

Today I just bought the Legendary fan edition of this game.

I do really hope you kick Diablo 3’s ass with this game. If this one even gets better than TQ it might happen. It would feel great if such a small studio as you would beat a Blizzard’s game.
But even if it won’t be as good as Diablo 3, I feel good supporting you and your game ideas.

Keep on your good work! :wink:

You’re not crazy at all.
I just ordered the legendary edition and feel prouder than ever.

Why should I throw the money to some gigantic publisher for a game I hardly enjoy for a few hours? I’m better off giving the money to a game I already love even if there are just two videos and some pictures and spend the saved time with TQ (yes I’m still playing it).

I’d be glad to donate. I can’t buy the game though. Damn you, credit cardless country.

No, no, damn the credit card countries!

edit misunderstood thread.

I think if someone wants to be a contributor there should be nothing that stops him.

Maybe some forum users with credit cards can buy the game and send the key to the ones without credit card. This could work as long as he gets his money as well :wink:

debit cards work, if that is of any help. but I do think the ability to gift the game would be nice

edit

better then Diablo 3? that would be good, I know D3 has taken a major turn in art direction, which I’m not keen of, also they seem to have reworked the uses of potions, so yeah, I think this could beat D3, there is also Torchlight 2 another ARPG that I’m interested in, but won’t be released in a while, its been pushed back a lot, and may not be released until September or later, so I think eith that game, D3 has some serious competition on its hands, and for me, I think TL2 and GD will be my first choices of games then D3 afterwards (if they all happen to be released at the same time that is)

Contributions is a good idea, maybe you can put a paypal link?

Here’s the best way to contribute, IMO.

I bought the legendary fan edition because I played Titan Quest and Titan Quest: Immortal Throne for the first time in around 2007 and loved it, but I didn’t buy the game until many years later, something which I am extremely remorseful and shameful for. :frowning:

Since then I’ve bought both Titan Quest and Titan Quest: Immortal Throne twice, both as retail copies and on Steam, but that doesn’t make a difference for the former Iron Lore employees. All I can say is, in 2007 I was very young and I had no money, but that’s no excuse and I’m so so sorry. :undecided:

Like I said I’ve bought the legendary fan edition now, and I’ll buy any and all DLC or hopefully expansions you release for the game after its release. I don’t care if it’s fucking brightly pink colored armor for your raven familiar I would still buy that to make amends. I can’t go back in time, but I apologize for what I did and I’ll do what little I can to support Crate Entertainment. :o

Proud LE owner here! I contributed for several reasons. I’d like to encourage more indie devs to take a stab at the ARPG genre. I’ve never had the privilege to participate as a tester but believe I’d do well and enjoy it. I don’t like the direction most ARPG’s are going these days and want to support a team that is going the opposite direction of titles like Crimson Alliance and Torchlight, depth please, thank you.

Oh, yeah. TBA in-game accessory. No idea what it is, probably a pink cape with turquoise polka dots…whatever, I must have it! :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi. This is my first actual contribution to this forum and I just want to put forward a few things I learned from my experiences in TQ (also considering the fact that Crate has people from Iron Lore). Please I urge you to keep skill tree limited in numbers and more focused unlike TQ. A lot of players came up with brilliant builds and so many skills meant huge room for experimentation but for people like me it was confusing as hell and a lot of characters ended up being never played cuz the build just wasn’t right. This problem was more dire in the beginning 15-20 levels.

I am coming from D2 and Torchlight mainly and the whole choosing from multiple skill trees and stuff was more of a clusterfuck than enjoyable. Maybe it was because I want more into hack and slash (and not uber-customization) games. For me fun in playing also involves being able to do certain things like making my character in a as simple way as possible and not get bogged down by too many details. I’ll end my banter here and consider this my two cents. Thanks :slight_smile:

Actually, I rather want them to go the other way and expand on the skill tree or at least make all skills viable (in TQ some are clearly superior, in essence ‘narrowing’ the skill tree again).

Both D2 and TL are rather boring as far as skill trees go. I certainly would not use either one as an example of what to do, but rather as examples what not to do.

Also, I do not see your problem. So what if you invested in a skill you later on find you do not like / use / is not powerful. You can respec your skill points, so this is not a permanent loss.

Nevermind, its just a difference of opinion. I guess I am so used to D2 and TL type of skill trees now that I just don’t want to go into huge customization. I never found either of them boring or uninteresting for that matter but would not argue with anyone just to prove my point. I said what I experienced, no more no less :slight_smile:

Haha, you should check out Path of Exile’s skill tree. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, from what I heard, the skill trees will be reworked, not in a manner you want them, but it will be better/understandable/meaningful. The only “advice” I can give you is - use forums’ recommended builds when the game comes out, I am sure there will be plenty.

Once i get some extra cash over I will contribute into this game for sure, had such a good time with Titan Quest and still do :slight_smile:

But what really motivates me towards that is the developers, how they interact with us fans and post updates and really involve us into their project even though it might not be very often.
