V1.3.0.0

[Major New Features]

  • Grim Dawn has received back-end changes to accommodate the release of the Fangs of Asterkarn Expansion.
  • The game’s UI has received a complete visual overhaul. A new Health Orb design HUD is now the default, while the classic Health Bar design can be enabled in the game options, under Interface.
  • The Stash has been overhauled with new dedicated Component and Crafting Materials shared pages and +5% additional space per tab. In addition, stash pages can now be customized and labeled.
  • New functionality has been added to the player inventory to instantly deposit all Components and Crafting Materials in their shared tabs from anywhere in the world. To support this, objects that ask for crafting materials (ex. Treasure Troves), can now also access the stash instead of just the inventory.
  • New accessibility control schemes have been added under Keybindings: Keyboard Movement and Keyboard Only, enabling WASD-based controls with and without the mouse. You can set keybinds for WASD movement independently of the default controls and switch between them at any time. WASD controls mimic the controller and do not enable run and gun gameplay.
  • Detailed tooltips now display stat roll ranges (ex. 12 Fire damage [8-14] indicates that the damage could have rolled as low as 8 or as high as 14).
  • A new Video Option has been added: HDR Lighting, as an alternate visual style for the game.
  • Monster Infrequents now always drop at the highest possible level (ex. if an MI drops, and possible variations in your level range are level 84 and 94, it will always drop the level 94 version).

[Shattered Realm]

  • Clearing Shards by hunting down Nemesis spawns has become a too dominant strategy, reducing the viability of AoE builds in favor of single target burst, which is already favored in the boss arenas. To address this, Shard Progress from gathering a Nemesis soul has been reduced by 25%. Progress gained from Hero souls has been increased by 33%, and by 50% from Common and Champion souls. Chance of Champion monsters dropping souls has been increased by 18%.
  • The Shattered Realm timer has been rebalanced to be more challenging and now becomes shorter at higher shards. Timer penalty from deaths is now lower, but bonus from kill streaks is now also lower and kill streaks now require a minimum of 25 kills, up from 15.
  • Shattered Realm shrines no longer take crafting materials and activate immediately upon interaction.

[Crucible]

  • Unlocking the next Crucible difficulty now also triggers at Wave 110 and Wave 160, rather than requiring clearing the Crucible Waves 1-100.
  • Failing the Crucible on the same tier as a checkpoint no longer awards Tribute.

[Tech]

  • Fixed an issue where converted dot damage from a single source would not stack (ex. converting dot damage on Scourge Strike so the damage types match).
  • Fixed an issue where UI scaling could cause monster and pet health bars to break.
  • Skill modifiers are now always loaded in a fixed order, rather than equip order. This is relevant particularly for how skill FX and pet swap modifiers function so the visual overrides always happen in a predictable order.

[Modding]

  • A new template has been added: Skill_WPAttack_Radius. This skill type generates a radius eruption around the target when the WPS triggers, similar to how Shattering Smash for Oathkeeper generates a wave.
  • New attributes have been added: % Total Resist and % Crowd Control Resist. These increase all the respective resists, similar to how % Total damage increments all damage types.
  • Channeled skills (ex. Albrecht’s Aether Ray) now apply Defensive Attributes in their data to the player while the skill is channeling. Defensive attributes have been added to their respective templates.
  • A new tDyn field has been added: forceHighestLevel. Setting this to True will cause the loot table to always drop the highest level valid item it can within the level range.
  • Skill modifiers assigned to SkillSecondary effects now display the SkillSecondary’s name and icon instead of the base skill.

[Game]

  • Menu UI windows now scale with UI scaling. UI now automatically scales down to fit the screen at lower resolutions, enabling controller UI compatibility at any resolution.
  • Increased Health per point of Spirit to 12, up from 8.
  • Treasure Troves now correctly have a guaranteed chance to drop a crafting material with a 30-50% (based on difficulty) chance to drop an additional material and have significant chance to drop blueprints. Previously, the chance to drop a second material was 100% across all difficulties and the chance to drop a blueprint was halved.
  • Aether Crystal enemies now have an additional chance to drop a second Aether Crystal/Shard/Cluster.
  • Increased all Boss Health scaling with level, by ~32% at level 100 (~15% for superbosses). Some bosses with lower health pools received larger increases. These changes do not apply to the Crucible.
  • Many older boss encounters have received tuning passes to bring their damage up to modern standards, as was commonly done in past updates.
  • Reduced Monster Armor by 17% on Champion+ enemies and reduced Monster % Armor Absorption by 20% on all enemies. This reduces monster resistance to Physical damage, particularly for small fast attacks (ex. dual wielding or Eye of Reckoning).
  • Reduced Monster % Life Leech Resist on Ultimate difficulty. This makes % Attack damage Converted to Health roughly 16% more effective against an average boss.
  • In-game search has been updated to work with unicode (ie. non-English) characters.
  • Reduced infamy gained from killing Beast heroes and bosses and increased kills required to spawn their Nemesis.
  • Increased infamy gained from killing Cronley’s Gang heroes and bosses and reduced kills required to spawn their Nemesis.
  • Enemies that do not grant experience (ex. summons or Kubacabra’s clones) no longer count towards achievement progress.
  • Valdaran and Archmage Aleksander now share their animosity towards you and will spawn in each other’s faction areas.

As someone who recently got back into Grim Dawn and who doesn’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game, classes and mastery skills, it would be very helpful if each time a value in the changes is presented, you’d follow it with the old value. To fully understand the impact of some of the changes in these notes I have to open a 3rd party app, configure it to show an older version of the game, and cross-reference each change.

For example, it’s really cool that Devouring Swarm has doubled its duration, but I did not learn this from the patch notes. These are cool changes and they’re enough to excite someone to try a Devouring Swarm build for their next character maybe. But without context it sounds like whatever.

To be fair tho, i think the people who @Gnomish_Inquisition mock don’t care about that, they see raw ‘nerf-numbers’ and cry out loud, even if 95% of the rest is buffing and the 5% is nerfing of actual overpowered/overtuned stuff. That’s the people who cry dead build and killed viability because their sub 6 min / 6:30 min crucible runs take 30 seconds longer.

Not gonna lie, still not too happy with the MI Change, but the rest looks rock solid. Can’t wait for the new HUD (esp. Orbs) plus Stash.

By the way - about the stash, maybe other people can answer that (who playtested/played it alread):
A. Should you pre-patch do all the material in your inventory to not risking any potential bug or is it completly safe?
B. Theoretically … can you still put mats / components in private/shared stash separated from the new Mats/Comp-Stash?

9

Which one?

10

That it drops at the highest lv possible… which we already had in a different topic (which i think maska opened) because of the impact on leveling. Post lv 94 or as an Altar-Feature it would have been top, but otherwise…

as long as you don’t have multiple different expansion stashes from actively running nogdx1-2, (which causes duping), you should be fine
During ptr i wiped or replaced save folder many items and didn’t encounter any comp/mat glitch from just have rando mats in the regular tabs for the game to automove. (besides the duping from nogdx1-2 file versions)

private yes, shared no. If you attempt to manually click a comp/mat in the regular shared stash it will give an error msg similar to quest items “this doesn’t go here” and you need to drop it in one of the reagent tabs
I had no issue separating mats in private stash tho

there was atleast 2 different ways to alleviate that issue that didn’t necessitate the change while levelling chars 1-84, modders did that years ago to fix gollus/mogara for themselves :sweat_smile:

Nah don’t think so, could try start into each character, but it was pretty long ago when i was using nogdx1-2. Still could maybe move the mats quickly into inventory (or private stash) to be safe, since i’m playing the PC Version on GFN currently so who knows how that could fiddle around with that.

Gotcha, that’s good enough. Just was thinking about what if you fill the max-stack size, or if you are someone like me, who prefers to keep an overview of mats sometimes if you wanna craft something specifically (like bundle in private stash the comps/relics/mats together). Wouldn’t 've been a dealbreaker either way, was just wondering…

I think if I try to read all of this I won’t be done before it drops! :sweat_smile:

Am I missing something here? I was playing a pierce infiltrator with the behead component skill now the bonuses have been replaced with useless dual wielding and wps skill bonuses on my 2h gun?

Little sad to see this change but oh well it also doesn’t work for pierce chillspikes which I liked to play too :frowning:

Very happy about everything else though don’t mean to whine keep up the great work will be buying the xpac off rip for sure!

16

The presence of the Dual Blades modifiers means that the equipment allows you to override the dual-wielding requirement and use Dual Blades and WPS skills on your 2H gun. It’s the same principle as Stormrend allowing you to use Primal Strike with a 1H axe despite it being a 2H skill.

Yes you missed something. This means that those skills will work for 2H ranged weapons. Or why did you think they are useless?

-4 night chill is like what 4% RR removed? Now you can ditch points in dual blades and get flat pierce and use a bonkers wps with passtru
