I didn’t really follow the latest updates so thanks for the write up.
If I remember correctly, a new rogue like dungeon won’t be part of the expansion. Were there hints about a possible rogue like a couple month after the release of Forgotten Gods similar to how they handled it with AoM and the Ancient Grove? An Eldritch based dungeon possibly?
“Pokerkid777 :If Forgotten Gods ends up being the last expansion, how much longer do you expect GD to be supported with balance changes and bug fixes?
As long as it makes sense to. Just because we’re not going to work on a giant expansion doesn’t mean that we’ll just stop developing Forgotten Gods stuff. We have ideas for what we could do for post release stuff, whether that could be some new items or some more floors for end of dungeons, might even do some more story content potentially. We will see. And there’ll be additional balancing needed because there’ll be new items, there’s going to have to be some tweaks to make sure everything’s competitive and build diversity goes up.”
I’ve probably missed this somewhere, but regards the Shattered Realm has anything been said about whether rifts work, or are there going to be merchants to sell loot to at intervals, as just wonder otherwise what to to with all the loot in an “endless” dungeon and limited inv?
Nothing was said Jaknet about either so I don’t know if riftgates will work or not. Considering it’s “free” to start off in SR though I would guess that they will since a skeleton isn’t needed to enter. Since you can also re-enter if (when) you die in there in the same game session that suggests it’s not losing the riftgate connection as the rogue dungeons do. And you’ll be able to use Waystones as starting points for particular floors.
“Pokerkid777 :So opening the portal doesn’t cost anything?
That’s correct. However, if you want to skip to a deeper Shard in the Shatter Realm you can craft Waystones which do cost resources and money. But that’s only if you want to start at a particular floor. But if you’re starting a new fresh run from the first Shard, it doesn’t cost anything at all.”
Maybe the idea is you go with as empty an inv as possible and try to fit just the best items in, still I guess it will all make sense once we get to try to break it
That assumes you think you’ll get through hundreds of floors. I fully expect the Shattered Realm will shatter my builds quite early on. :eek:
I wonder how many players are going to be brave enough to venture in there with a hardcore character. The temptation to keep going just a few more levels versus losing the character and all that loot will probably drive them crazy.
Sorceress and high priestess of Hecate if you don’t mind. Not to mention a princess since my father was King Aeëtes of Colchis as well as being a direct descendant of the sun god Helios. Oh, look - I just did.
