Grim Misadventure #189 - Fashion and Function

THQ: doesn’t even announce the latest expenasion for Titan Quest, just randomly drops it on Steam

Crate: Announces Fangs of Asterkarn in August 2023, no release date or even ETA on Feb 2025.

Don’t get me wrong I love you guys to death but CMON. Both of these strategies are… questionable lol

I’m guessing that ~July won’t happen because POE2 comes out of early access around that time so it’s either ~May or end of 2025

And sadly I suspect the latter

Grim dawn is the best single player aRPG on the market hands down
POE2 will probably be the best online/multiplayer one

in this case i’d say Crate is doing the better approach
not having a set release date, but also indicating what it means
(aside from not having a fixed date to get disappointed about when that wasn’t met), since they directly told us what the postponement was, because they ended up adding moar stuff, it’s then delayed for our feature/content addition benefit :yum: - ie instead of getting the expansion list with 5-10 things, we’re getting 15+ things (or whatever list number)

I don’t think Crate cares. When do we usually see waves of new GD players? Soon after a new Diablo or PoE update disappoints them and they scramble for a better alternative.

All the stats are good on a conduit aside the skill they modify:

  • +1 to all skills in Nightblade.
  • Pierce to vitality conversion helping with Blade Spirit and Bone Harvest.
  • 3% max resistances is equivalent to 17% more health.

There already are. It’s the aetherials and the voidfiends, respectively.

haha he thinks he’s here to command or decide something without even wanting to be a crate employee, and gets frustrated when the changes don’t go the way he wants, it’s unfortunate to see people wanting to command what doesn’t belong to them.

“…that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

“Elude” means to avoid or escape someone/something. The word you want here is “allude” which means to refer to something, or to imply or infer meaning that is somewhat obscured.

At least baby sharks.

These look sooo fun. I love the depth and breadth of new itemization in FoA, and the visuals feel so fresh too! #hypetrain

NO!! No baby sharks! I already can’t get that d**n song outta my head! I don’t wanna be hearing it in my head for the rest of my life. But sharks would be cool if we could actually get into any water deeper than our ankles. They’d also be cool as land sharks. New mob FTW!

All the rest outside of baby sharks has my official approval (for what that’s worth, lol).

Lately, every time I have a two-hander equipped it always seems to do more (a lot more) damage than anything I can equip as a one-hander and a shield.

I’ve been using a weapon and an off-hand or shield only when they can surpass the damage of the two-hander. That’s somehow a bit rare for me. It didn’t used to be like this. I like it.

I see all the great information and I very much appreciate it. One small detail seems incorrect… Your last sentence says to check back on March 17th…which is the date this update was published. I think maybe you guys are working a bit too hard.
