Grim dawn future

[medea_fleecestealer]

Once again I showed up late to the party. The last party was Titan Quest. Granted I had WoW and Diablo to keep me occupied, but I had such a blast with TQ that I completely forgot about WoW (still paying the 15 a month lol) and Diablo. Once the party was over, it was back to those two Blizzard games.

Now, Grim Dawn. So much fun. I have 4 characters and I haven’t even gotten into the 60s yet. Before that happens, even playing Ashes of Malmouth content, I want to play a couple of more class ideas, combos, builds. The one thing that got me hooked with TQ was the dual class system. It reminded me a lot of AD&D 2nd. Edition when I was a little kid. So, same with GD here. Besides the old TSR games, I haven’t seen anyone taking advantage of the dual class system, especially coming up with a cool name for the combo too. Commando > Soldier/Demolitionist.

I hope there is still life in GD. The last expansion pack was last year, wasn’t it? 2 years after the first one? The game is only 4 years old. No need to let it vanish like TQ. GD is so much more fun than D3 too. D4 looks like a complete rip off of GD. If GD goes bye bye, I guess I will hop back on the Diablo wagon. Yeah, I can play both. But I like to devote my time to one game at a time and right now that’s GD. Looking into a 2 pistol pew pew character too.

I am feeling a little jelly here of all the players that got to enjoy this game since 2016. Crate, please, do not let this gem of a game die. It’s so much fun. I like the fact that it’s solo first and multiplayer second.

Crate have said they’ll continue to support the game so long as it makes sense to do so. We know they’re working on a new area between Tyrants Hold/Twin Falls and it seems also around Burrwitch/East Marsh.

There’s also this.

“I imagine gd fans will be interested in what I’m working on.” from Zantai in this thread

Possible new Crate project in the works

Zantai joined us briefly on the GD discord today and had a few interesting - if vague as usual - things to say. Zantai: My primary task is not gd these days. It’s also not the town builder. powbam: so what yer really saying is that you are working on a new unknown game and you aren’t going to tell us what it is even tho its GD2. Zantai: Gd2 would require significant ramp up by programmers before I even touch it. I imagine gd fans will be interested in what I’m working on. I’d be up f…

Good games never die, especially not single player ones. While development on them might end, players can and will continue to enjoy them after that point. And the modding community will also keep players interested in the game and having fun with it.

And modders are still adding new mods to TQ. You just can’t keep a good modder down you know.
