Grim Dawn Version 1.1.8.0

[gutten_morgen]

nice update Z. But no one notice that AAR got nerf-again- with remove % dam from Disintegration? sneaky…

[Ungoliath]

Fighting Spirit: Cooldown now scales with rank, starting at 18s, scaling to 12s by rank 12, 10s by max ultimate rank

Now thats a big change, thats 10s CD at 8s Duration at max. Nice, from one pointer mostly to eventually going all in.

Shieldmaiden: increased % Shield Recovery to -25%

from -18% to -25% Block Recovery, quite nice

Dryad’s Blessing: reduced Cooldown by 0.5s

Nice, from 3.2s to 2.7s, but first i read “to” 0.5s lol

Maul: has been redesigned as an AoE debuff that causes Physical damage with Attack damage Converted to Health and Armor Reduction. Maul can now be bound to additional skill types.

Now this intrigues me alot. Armor Reduction? Where do we have such already? I cant remember if there is something like that. I may be wrong certainly.

Blind Fury: can now be bound to additional skill types.

Dont know what this means.

[MBlade]

I like the changes overall. Thanks for the patch!

[mad_lee]

Seems reasonable to me. Wildblood would’ve had a damage buff without wd% reduction. Did it need a buff? Obviously not.

WD reduction to Vines is nothing it’s the duration bonus cut in half that’s really going to hurt.

How do i get access to the new areas? I updated my game and all the changes are live except for the new areas. (skills, items and augments have all been updated)

I have the game on gog and it says it’s updated to version 1.1.8. But i can not get into any of the new areas. They are still blocked off/non existant

[medea_fleecestealer]

Welcome to the forum.

Have you found any yet? If so, which ones are blocked? Try restarting your game session and see if that allows you to enter.

[Vittorio]

Thank you for the patch!

[Fragonar_sh]

Thanks for the update!
It seems that among my 12 characters, i have 4 nerfs (the most obvious & known builds), 3 buffs (all very powerful & exotic builds) and 5 almost unchanged characters.

Reduced All monster resists by ~5% on Elite and Ultimate difficulties in Singleplayer (monster resists continue to scale up with additional players). This change is compensated by an across the board adjustment to Resist Reduction skills in all masteries

I understand the logic. The exotic builds don’t suffer as much from the lack of RR. Unfortunately, the consequences for the other characters, is that they can easily lose 10-15 RR across all skills (auras) & devotions.

Conduit of Night Whispers: added -15% Fire Resist Reduction modifier for Veil of Shadow variant

Clearly pushing for a Fire Nightblade. With two Moltenclaw Slicers, you now have a -35%RR. Nice.

Conduit of Undying Whispers: updated Acid modifier for Ravenous Earth to Aether

A spellbinder with Diviner armor (Reap spirit & Ravenous earth spells) is now a reality!

Mythical Northern Wyrm: increased Defensive Ability to 105 and updated values on the granted skill

Was rather expecting a nerf, so… Thanks!

Nightbringer: removed Health. Added 60 Vitality damage and 100 Vitality Decay / 2s modifiers for Wind Devil. Reduced damage dealt by the skill proc

Nightbringer must still be the best. Hard to beat the 2 conversions, high Skills cooldown & Physical resistance.

Blood Knight Set: reduced… The Blightlord’s Set: removed… Wendigo’s Mark: reduced damage… Will of Rattosh: reduced damage…

i hope the changes are not too hard.
Some offensive bonus on the blood knight Set would be great.

Black Blood of Yugol: increased % Damage Reduction to 16%

A nice bonus for a devotion that’s not that good.

Dryad’s Blessing: reduced Cooldown by 0.5s

Great!

Tip the Scales: reduced Resist Reduction to 20 and reduced damage

That’s a shame. I loved Tip The Scales before it was popular.

Menhir’s Bulwark: can now also be used with two-handed melee weapons

Can we simply use it in all situations? Few people would choose that compared to a 12/12 Oleron’s Rage with 14%OA in a non-retaliation build… But it would give the option to tank a Blademaster.

Blade Spirit: reduced Pierce damage scaling with rank

Ha ha, why?

• Lethal Assault: increased Acid damage and removed Offensive Ability
• Pneumatic Burst: added Offensive Ability

Not very nice for my characters but… some will love that.

• Disintegration: removed % Aether… Overload: reduced Offensive Ability… Elemental Balance: reduced % Crit damage…

:Sad Panda:

Devouring Swarm: increased Projectile Velocity and adjusted Resist Reduction scaling with rank to compensate for monster Resist changes

Make it less boring would be great too.

Inquisitor Seal: increased Duration to 24s

Please, make the same for Wind Devil (… Or give a nice MI Medal that adds 20 seconds to the skill).

… The rest of the changes look good, interesting, or logic.
Waiting for the grim dawn calculator to refresh to see the new items. A 1000 thanks to the guy that takes care of it.

[nanaki]

Thanks

I followed a youtube video to all of them and they are all blocked off. Not a single one of these areas exists in my game.

• i have restarted the game and my computer
• i have used gogs verify/repair function
• i have tried updating the game again

All other changes so far seem to work fine i my game. I have checked various skills, items and augments and all of them are as mentioned in the patch notes. The only thing missing are the new areas.
I dont know if this is a problem with gogs patch 1.1.8. I have tried to find the patch via other sources to try and download it, but no luck. The gog forum isnt exactly active so i have no clue what to do from here. My last resort would be a full reinstall

[medea_fleecestealer]

You have the game and both expansions?

[nanaki]

I have both fallen gods and malmouth expansion on gog. The only thing i dont have is crucible

[Harless]

Great started new man 2 days ago, will delete her and start again, this looks great thanks.

[medea_fleecestealer]

Crucible is separate and doesn’t affect the main campaign. Did you download it via GOG Galaxy? Or was it a manual installation?

[BlackrazorNZ]

• Mythical Wildblood Crusher: removed Vitality damage modifier for Grasping Vines and reduced % Attack damage Converted to Health modifier for Grasping Vines to 10%

Oh man. The Grasping Vines conversion change just completely ruins the core premise of Ritualist I literally just got to a decent gear position

[nanaki]

I use the gog galaxy client and according to the client my game is up to date.

[medea_fleecestealer]

I’d try a clean installation then. Strange though since patches via Galaxy come straight from Crate I think without the need for GOG to do much to get them on Galaxy.

[nanaki]

Guess a full reinstall it is then. Really weird that the rest of the patch works except the new areas.

Checked gog homepage and 1.1.8 isnt aviable for manual download, the newest they have for manual downlad is 1.1.7.2 hotfix

[medea_fleecestealer]

Yeah, GOG has to do some stuff at their end for the manual installations and it takes them a bit longer. As far as I know Crate can upload to Galaxy themselves.

[BB_Shockwave]

There is still beta testing? Who gets invited to that? I used to be in the alpha and beta originally as I purchased the game pre-kickstarter… I guess that no longer gives you beta access?

[voyd]

Great patch. Cheers!
