GD2 - Crate should stay silent or not?

I don’t think they should rush GD2. Let Diablo 4 and PoE2 release, see what they have to offer, and then try to do your own thing. It worked with GD, it should work similarly with GD2.

And since they would have a lot of work with engine update, or acquiring new engine, it could take a while.

I think GD1 is great for now but end game content should polish because at the end of the story, I didn’t know what to do next. Dungeon has nothing to attract to waste much time with it.

Join the theorycrafting club. It’s awesome.

And we have @nery - the forum’s sweetheart.

I don’t know what to say :blush: Thanks, guys!

But really creating builds and participating in discussions is what kept in game for many hours and it’s definitely end game. So the question is how much the players interest can be sustained after the last patch? Cause new patches, items, changes, added QoL and such is great way to keep some of the players in the game.

I don’t think it can be sustained for more than 6 - 12 months. Though Imma hunt you fools down on steam/fb and add the lot of you.

So maybe is good idea to not give you personal information then :smile:

Cause you might show up 10 years after with rage message, why Nery is not making builds anymore?

Well, if Grim dawn does not offer more than POE 2 and Diablo 4 I will just not skip grim dawn. :unamused:

now I hope Crate wakes up! and play their cards right by promoting GD1 properly . Dev threads are good but they need to step out of it NOW!!! GD2 will never happen until Crate gets a butload of cold cash by selling at least 5m copies and MOAR much more.!!! So they need to stop being quiet, promote the game. offer it on steam for free again or create a billboard somewhere out there?! Create GD memes attack Blizzard or GOG and just attract attention!!! … Now that many are hyped for ARPG’s now is time to strike and let people know GD1 exists as 2m sales is quite low!!!

Compared to…what exactly?

quite high for an indie company like Crate but quite low if we want GD2 to become a full fledge ARPG exp with brand new engine to match other brands. Moar money is needed for gd 2, we cant be happy using same reskinned engine and animations all over again. sigh we can only hope this town builder helps them

Which brands? Compete with PoE/Diablo?
Why should they even try this?

Let´s wait if there is any ARPG in the next years which gets the attention of players and why it gets it. At the moment, I don´t see another “star” on the heaven.

Hey guys if i can give my opinion too :).Crate should definitly keep up the good work and start thinking about GD 2.GD is a product the is PERFECT on many lvls and i dont think things should stop here.I know it will not be close but when you are good at making something that people love you should continue to give them MOAR of it :).I know it will take some time its normal but dont pls dont stop here…Its not about the competition… Its about the great thing that GD is.And what is better than Grim dawn? 2 Grim dawns :slight_smile:

So you want them to waste money on advertising that could be spent on GD2 in the future? Great logic there. I expect they may do another free to play weekend at some point and Zantai’s said that he thinks Medierra will do a bundle of the game some time in the future as well. Plus there will continue to be sales. Also, don’t forgot the Xbox angle. And then there are those possible GD related games Medierra mentioned a while back as well, they could make one or two of those in the coming years.

As for memes attacking other companies, this from November last year:

So it’s not a full fledged ARPG now? Could have fooled me.

sorry wrongly worded. I mean modern arpg experience cause let’s admit GD is already showing signs of aging.

ok let’s wait for xbox and hello kitty project to fund GD2 which will prolly take at least 5 years to even start in development because of them not being aggressive smh

Can you just chill out for two freaking seconds and stop flooding the forum with your crappy advice to Crate

Modern ARPG experience like what? D3/4 and PoE? Always online? Microtransations for stuff? GD was partly sold on being an old school ARPG. Not saying that things can’t change, Zantai’s said himself it might depend on whether they go for a different engine or keep upgrading this one. Medierra had this to say in another thread too:

"The only thing really limiting us from replacing all of the engine components over time is that it has to support the art we’ve already created and we’re sort of obligated to support older versions of directX because we supported them with the initial release and people running older systems wouldn’t be able to play if we didn’t.

Another issue is that a lot of what people interpret as being the look of the engine is actually the look of the art itself and how it was made."

it may be crappy but I aint flooding mate? I haven’t even posted that much anymore smh. Are praetorians this harsh? :sob:ok fair enough medea your pretty much like Cratespokes person so you are probably right. Now back to playing, I probably wont speak my crappy mind anymore since this forum aint friendly at all. Back to watching crappy dragonball i guess
