Very nice… 2014 can’t get here soon enough.
So is act 2 just these 3 rift gates and does that mean it is considerably shorter than act 1 (which had about 10 rift gates) ?
We have not clocked the playtime in “Act 2” yet, but the area is fairly comparable to “Act 1”.
has there been any confirmation on the level cap of act 2?
The level cap will be raised to 30.
I hoped for 35 
Only 30? Dang, I was hoping for way more than that. I have level 32 items in my inventory; guess I have to wait until Act 3 before I can use them? 
I am surprised you managed level 3x, I only have 2x… You can always go to the unofficial item trade thread and exchange for something usable 
Actually, they aren’t that great, just a couple of badges that are in the 30s. The database has items in it up to level 50 though. I hope I don’t get any of that stuff; it’s bad enough already with all the items I cannot use…
Hey,
I think this is a real piece of good work. But please - what I liked most on TQ was Immortal Throne - something like the Tower would be just EPIC! I think you have beaten Diablo 3 already - by replayable Alpha version. I have played around 7 chars on HC (6 deaths, lol), and still I can not get enough! Diablo 3 = 20 hours of playing and viola - its in a wardrobe. Somewhere at the bottom. :furious:
Give me something to test, please!
What drops depends in your level and/or monster level, which I haven’t seen beyond 30 yet. That is why I was surprised you got level 32 uniques, level 50 definitely will not drop yet (unless there is a bug)
I though level 25 is the cap? Or did I miss something? Oh I presume its the cap for character level, I found a badge level 26, no more level so far, but currently looking for whole sets. Preparing for war, you know…
Level 25 is current level cap for the Alpha. Act 2 will raise it to level 30. I think the full game will go up to level 50 (?) but the entire system can go up to 250 in which case the devs will add expansions in hope of making Grim Dawn as large (if not larger) as Titan Quest’ world.
Sounds very interesting. TQ was one of the best RPG’s in the world (my opinion) and without any continue it would be a great loss for all the game players. I think replayability of this game is HUGE, so I do not regret 50$ for alpha. In fact, I feel I should bought this game far more earlier than I did. But still, I am happy I kicked it 
I’m really digging that first pic, it’s a nice balance of broad daylight, vegetation and a little spookiness with the fog and dark hole ^^
That dry land is also great. I like how GD has a great variety of environments from the screenshots we’ve seen and yet still makes them seem rather eerie feeling, even if some are in a subtle way.
according to the supposed lvl 50 end game cap, that makes sense. but that means we won’t see many new unique items in Act 2 isn’t it ?
at least for those of us who have farmed Act I for hundred hours^^
27 epics will be available to be used once level 30 is released. Also we don’t have any information on crafting and legendary (should legendary items be able to drop).
I think that is quite a good chunck of epics to find.
If there are only 3 acts in the full game, why such a small level increase for Act 2? That will mean a 20 level jump for the 3rd act in order to get it up to 50. Unless level 50 won’t be seen until the expansions. Only 5 more levels for Act 2 is very disappointing. I will hit that in a very short time. Oh well, at least I will be able to use all those level 26 and higher items that have been piling up…
There are three acts and three difficulties, so you should not reach level 50 at the end of act 3 in normal…
For act 1, the level limit could have been 20 as anything past that you only gain from farming.
I would expect that during a regular play through, you would not reach level 30 at the end of act 2 either.
You forget the 3 difficulty levels as well.
Level 50 is max in which guess I’m thinking that around level 33-35 we’d finish normal and then the next difficulty level would go to around level 43ish and level 50 would be the max for the last difficulty level. Purely speculation.
Although we only get 5 more levels we don’t know what we will also get when it comes to crafting, legendary items, factions, and whatever else that MAY pop up.
