@tqFan @medea_fleecestealer Normally I really like to say ‘‘I told you so’’ but this time, I’m sorry to be right this time, really…

Finally game is gonna be completed! Records will hold, builds will last, no more worrying about build becomes ded. Content mods can now flourish and not have to step back and adjust to GD patches etc.

Was always going to happen @fordprefect, we knew that. It was just a question of when. Having been there for the first GM, I have to say a big thank you to Zantai for doing them. Reading what the team have been doing over the years as the game’s developed has been both insightful and a pleasure to me. I still enjoy going back and reading them once more and every time I do I’m amazed all over again at what the team have accomplished.

Well, then DON’T WAIT! GIVE! :rofl:

I very much doubt about that.
Thing is, modding is a lot of work, especially if we’re talking about something bigger than just rolling back the nerfs. Big mods like Nydiamar and Lord of Terror are literally being made for years at this point. I can expect their further development, but it’s very unlikely for something new of that caliber to show up.

The last misadventure, the end of an era…

I might have exaggerated, what I meant is that now these mods can also become finalized and stabilized. Is Lord of Terror = Reign of Terror btw?

Don’t remember the correct name, but I meant that one massive overhaul mod that converts GD into diablo 3.5 :smiley:.

I don’t think patches had been affecting content mods much tbh, only for rebalancing kind of mods.

If it was anything like the “supposed” outcry of the new shattered realm sets, it ought to be epic.

@Zantai, don’t suppose there will be like one last push to ask the community what last few things they would like to see, at any point? Regardless, this is/continues to be the best ride ever. No matter which ARPG, be it PoE, D3, TL, all other indie arpgs…this one continues to be the only one in which holds my true attention. :+1::clap:

yeah Diablo 2 in GD format :slight_smile: I have been dying to playing that mod forever. When I am get burned out of Grim Dawn that mod is what I will play next hopefully

I’ve been playing GD since 2014. Pretty sad to see it end but I’m also glad to say it’s one favourite games of all time. Now though, its time to look forward to the next patch, Final Frontier (also hopefully a grim dawn CRPG one day. Please crate make it happen, I would literally, figuratively die!) and whatever else you guys have got in store.

Any updates on GD for XBOX?

Very happy to have been a part of this family. And think fondly of a Grim Dawn 2 or something with an unreal engine 5 would be just fantastic.

Thank you for making this one of the best games in life

It has recently faced yet another hurdle. Microsoft has changed requirements for certification to also include passing certification on the Xbox Series X, for compatibility across the entire Xbox ecosystem.

On a related note, Xbox Series X dev kits are in short supply for some reason.

I know you probably don’t want to comment on this, but I thought I’d ask anyway, is it possible for GD on Xbox to come out in 2021?

I hope Farthest Frontier will also be available DRM-free on GOG? You guys have been great and well-supporting of GOG [and vice versa] with Grim Dawn and hope you can continue with your next game. I look forward to Farthest Frontier!
