Blasphemy, blasphemy… all might for the Devotion.

Is there a Chance to see a full repaired Devils Crossing or/and Homestead at the end of the Game?

Will Homestead have fresh towels?

Sano · January 19, 2015, 1:26pm

Looks great! And the two on the last picture looks like interesting characters!

Thanks for the update, Homestead is really looking promising.

Aw man! and here I thought dev updates means actual updates being implemented into the game. lol

Guess I’ll have to wait some more.

One quick question though, are we going to have increased level caps with Build 24?

Homestead seems to be an interesting place to visit.

So it is possible one of the effects of devotion could be to improve some stats like health. Interesting !

Good idea. They are the symbol that we uphold civilization despite of the invasion.

To unveil the mystery of 10k+ health:

Some April Screenshots

The occultist is a totally legit character but the two soldiers are not. The one with 15k hp is wearing my cheat-ring that gives 10k hp and some ridiculous amount of damage. I it use when I just want to run through the world and test certain things. Both him and 5k dude are artificially leveled and they may even have additional skill / attribute points for their level. They’re basically just junk test-characters that I pulled out to show off some higher level gear because I didn’t have a real soldier that high level.

I think the highest I’ve played with a legit character was to around 25 and that was a long time ago. They kept becoming invalid as we made changes to the game or I changed around the skill trees. That and, of course, it is a big time investment to keep leveling characters. I play legit when I really want to accurately test overall balance / feel but when I’m just looking to test out higher level skills or some other thing, I cheat up test-characters.

It would be cool if this ring could be an ultra rare drop, like a super duper low probability of dropping. How about this, it could drop in the new “rogue-like” dungeon?

Grim Dawn is slowly but surely envolving into the best Diabloish game in modern time. All good things take time. I can finally start to leave my beloved Diablo 2 that i still play. Diablo 3 is not a Diablo game for me. But it’s still a good game for the new generation. I wis only the best and lot’s of energy, in forming Grim Dawn to the best game ever. Ps POE i also like but also do not like. I don’t know why. Something is missing. But Grim Dawn nails it.

Once it dropped, everyone would have it via trading.

DeMasked · January 19, 2015, 2:59pm

Nice upgrade to the old Homestead for sure.

Could perhaps use a bit more filler when it comes to supplies/crates/ammunition/gattling guns/maps and so on. But I’ll look into that when it’s released.

Torin · January 19, 2015, 3:10pm

Wait, wasn’t Homestead supposed to be some town or city?!

This thing looks smaller than the Prison.

Cavar · January 19, 2015, 3:21pm

You’re joking, right? It’s definitely larger than Devil’s Crossing.

We’ll never get towns that are super huge because it just wouldn’t make sense in an ARPG.

Devourer · January 19, 2015, 3:42pm

Look’s great so far, keep up the good work

Carnage · January 19, 2015, 3:54pm

Whoa! :rolleyes:

Looking super cool! Great job guys.

RizzRustbolt · January 19, 2015, 4:14pm

So when are you guys just going to go ahead and confirm Devotion as a replacement for random shrines?

system · January 19, 2015, 4:16pm

thanks for the update! i havent even explored all of the map released in chapter 1, i have to quit making characters to hold my blues
…and i think one of the “really important people” has the same breastplate as the character your playing with.

Cavar · January 19, 2015, 4:18pm

Hopefully one day soon in a dev update. fingers crossed

system · January 19, 2015, 4:28pm

I agree with DeMasked, make it nice and functional, with the smuggler blacksmith, and vendor in the same area, and then make it believable, with a nice armory and supply crates, probably a large pile of salt bags too

jalex3 · January 19, 2015, 5:44pm

Looks bigger to me. Another village like burrwitch makes little sense, as this is a hub things need to be close to each other.
