Grim Misadventure #99: Introducing the Crucible

[JohnNamikaze]

I am also in a similar boat whereby, by the time the KS for Grim Dawn had ended, I still had not discovered Kick Starter as a thing. This was unfortunate for a number of reasons, as I would have loved to contribute to the funding of GD, one of my top two favourite games of all time and consequently, as I will not be receiving The Crucible for free.

I sat here, reading your response to constructive feedback regarding this payment model and my respect for you and your team has only increased, Medierra for the respect that you show your community is also unwavering. You go to lengths to provide community members with an insight into the reality and hi’s and low’s of being part of an organisation that develops games and you do so from a considered and informative standpoint.

I only want more content from CRATE and your team and if a further X amount of dollars is going to contribute to that happening, in the grand scheme of things, I am more than happy to play my part.

We see it everywhere, players comparing their monetary investment to the amount of hourly enjoyment they receive from the game they purchased. One could see this as a fair way of weighing up one’s investment. I say, by all means, do so. There are well more than a handful of people that frequent this forum, myself included, that would be happy to show you just how many hours of enjoyment, happiness, sadness, triumph and defeat that Grim Dawn has provided. Ask these people, if they had the opportunity to present X amount more dollars for more of these types of hours trawling through new content, would they do so.

I don’t think I need to answer that question.

Keep doing what you’re doing, Medierra and co. If it’s working for you, that brings me a lot of happiness. I hope that it brings you guys a lot of happiness to hear from one of your faithful, that it certainly is working for me and many others!

I feel the same here, I wish I knew about Grim Dawn a bit sooner. I already said it a couple page back, I actually found about the game around August 2012 in PoE forum when the game was still in closed beta and decided to support the game after watching a couple of their videos and some of early Grim Misadventures a month later.

I have no issues paying for DLC since I already paid for the next expansion, so I will get the Crucible DLC for my birthday. It is just a matter of having money by then and hopefully already have a job as well.

Will it be a game mode completely different from the campaign mode, or will I have to ply the main the campaign to unlock it? I hope it’s the first option because I wanted it to be a game mode I play casually with friends who don’t want to bother with grinding.

It’s separate. You can start it with a new character if you want to or play it with existing characters.

I would like to pre purchase the dlc.

And I bought the Loyalist Edition few days before the alpha release back in 2013. Damn.

Great news ! Thank you !

Why not?

Part of the reason I’m more than ready to pay for Crate DLC is because I don’t want another Ironlore case. It’s more than enough to be hearthbroken once. And I’m more than confident with Arthur design/business handling and reasoning and Crate have a full house of very capable minds now.

I’m sure GD journey is very thrilling for Crate people but it’s also very exciting for us fan who follow along the way.

Will this also work with mastery mods, or will modders have to make it work themselves?

[Old_Bugger]

I bought in for $85 so far back I don’t remember when. When all the squabbling was going on bought again from GOG for $22, and dumped Steam. only play single off line.
I will buy extensions, hopefully. At 86 who knows.
Still want my map.

Bah humbug, installed and now no grim dawn, just a black screen. Have 1.0.0.4 plus hot patch. Tried repair. Shut down computer and restarted. also have admin and set compatibility to 7.
Can I delete it out?
Any way thanks for the help.

[mamba]

You installed boh hotfixes ? I only had issues before HF2 with the GOG version (Steam worked right away).

It nothing else works, download 1.0.0.3 from GOG again and install that.

[Old_Bugger]

Yes both hot fixes. Ok, but was just going to do a recovery back to yesterday before going to humble. Game worked fine with 1.0.0.4 plus patches.
Thank Mamba for your advise.

[Chthon]

Do we have an estimated release date on the DLC?

[OleronSuperstar]

Is that some sort of powdered wig on character’s head in the first screen?

[Old_Bugger]

My problem is hopefully fixed.
Uninstalled Grim Dawn and reinstalled from GOG. Reloaded characters from flash drive. Working at present.
Powdered wig, booze, swash buckler coat and other goodies. Available to early people.

Will players be able to use Custom Campaign or modded characters in Crucible? Or at least be able to make it accessible from within Custom Campaigns?
