Grim Misadventure #65: The Battle Continues

[eisprinzessin]

However, thanks to the generous support of our fans, both prior to release and in continued early access sales, we have been able to include additional features, add on more content and significantly expand the game as a whole. […]

we have added the Black Legion faction, which was not originally part of Grim Dawn, with various quests to earn their favor, and two big boss fights.

Cool, we learn something about the KS stretch goals. And from the sound of it, there have been some hidden Early Access stretch goals, too.

great update, what is to come look amazing, and the hints about the changes made during developments are always interesting. i really love the alpine environment too

Sorrow’s Bastion and Blood Grove will follow, potentially in B26 sometime in late spring. Act 4 will begin to roll out in early summer.

Uhm… sorry for asking this but can I please have the literal month version of these seasons? Google is currently failing me right now… thanks guys!

EDIT:
Btw, Crate guys rock! Thank you for your hard work!

[Silversaint]

Thanks for that nice and exciting update, can’t wait to travel into Homestead.
But too bad can’t play the new chapter during this Chinese New Year holiday.

Yo all
Finally i see more divercity! Totally agree with Xss and his happiness. After playing long hours on many many chars… that’ll be like +30 now…after all this nice feelings that i had runing form random hero respawn > 5 hero respawned at once i must tell that my ONLY only fear about this game was lack of many environments…diversed zones.
What was one of many positive sides of TQ…jungles and forests…deserts…babylon gardens…heaven and underworld…here i felt going through nearly the same zones.
What i mean is act 1 one road with side caverns…it was nice but felt a little weird…great refreshment came with Depraved Sanctuary i’ve liked that a lot…Gutworm and other secrets.
Act 2 was greater because of different roads…more types of unworthy mobs to be purged Steps well done we need more of challenges like that but in different setting another dimension or some rotting nest like you showing in coming content
Act 3 even better! this mist on fields… and hitting first time scarecrow that was scary specially when he had second life as that energy ball great time with new caverns and enemys in this chapter.

Im wondering did you have same feelings as i had? with a little repetitiveness in zones ? Id love to see more places snow…lava …forests…this Void you speak of sounds interesting to me
Another thing is Id like to see more city upgrades~repairs in finished game it feels amazing to see destroyed stand of humanity to be restored little by little with materials you bringing from hell of battle. It would be nice to see more look changes in our new stand like walls change lights,steps floor etc…more people and guards on walls too
Im well aware of zones placement in our continent so i understand part of repetitiveness coming from but it’s always nice to see some interesting side area a little different from used pattern.
As always im pleased with your work and efforts you suprised me on many occasions with your inteligent development of game.

Definitely agree! Act 1 seems a bit dull compared to Act 2 and 3, but I guess it is part of its design (a plain swamp).

I’m also really excited to see some mountains with snow. Seriously Crate, you rock

[valaki]

Awesome news, thanks guys.

[Erak]

Very excited, keep up the good work!

Hi there,
i’am quite excited to get an idea about the ammount of content you guys are going to throw at us in the next couple of months, good news !

Be’ing myself quite new to the game (started around christmas last year) i allready played around 300 hours (yeah, thats alot in that short time, but hey I’am old and i have a lot of time to spare and i’am allready addicted ;P) I’d like to come up with some questions.

A) Is there any planned timeframe about raising the levelcap beyond 40 in the next builds ? cause i’ve started to get items that i can’t use because of said cap. wich leads to my next question…

B) can we expect any addition to our storage space in the next builds ?
that is one of my biggest issues atm cause i tend to hoard stuff, be it crafting mats or epic gear, not to mention usefull green stuff.
when i first encountered that problem, i discovered the method of using multiple shared stash copies in the forums, but that feels a bit like cheating to me and infact it can and is easyly used for duping. On top of that its not that convenient at all to copy stuff back and forth and keeping track that you dont dupe and spoil your gaming experience.

thats it for now, keep up the amasing speed and quality in pushing out new builds.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the game

Not in the very next build [B24] I’m sorry to say. I posted this in reply to a similar question in a different thread just to help explain why.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no increase to the level cap with the next build (B24). One of the reasons for this is because of the limit with content players are currently reaching higher levels in the end areas than they would normaly do if playing straight through with all the content available.

For example running a new char and clearing all the content, side quests and all secret areas including SoT complete, and I reach the end of B23 at around level 36 maybe 37 if I stop and farm for a while.

The level cap will increase as enough new content is available to increase it without risking players getting too far ahead of the content and thus giving a distorted view of difficulity.

Sounds amazing! Looking forward for future content updates!

[mamba]

look at A4 in TITAN QUEST

I’ll bet on EXTREMELY small.

TQ only had three acts… the expansion was act 4, which is large

[system]

Guys, you are awesome. And as always can’t waaaaaaaait!

[Matougi]

The upcoming Build 24 marks what would have been the final chapter of Grim Dawn (until the expansion), based on our original plan… With additional story, environments, questing and surprises, an entire Act 4 has taken shape beyond Homestead!

I thank you with surprise and joy!

[system]

Woop! Or something like that.

[Cavar]

Love the look of the snow environment. I hope to see some really badass looking mobs specific to this environment!
