Hacked Multiplayer server?

I was looking for a game to join and saw this (below); is it a hacked server? Odd multi-coloured lettering and look at the guys avatar - never seen anything like him before (weird orange head and scarred torso).

Didn’t join just in case.

Am I right to be cautious? I recall playing with hacked players before the game was released properly (Characters with 2348234987239 health etc).

That looks more modded than hacked.

What’s interesting is that I can see the weird skins ‘Joel’ has on, does that mean they exist in the game somewhere, or does the server screen load a sample of what people look like? EG so anyone can see modded content.

There are no dedicated servers for Grim Dawn.
Every game listed is being hosted by a player.
GD is fully modable.

Lvl 85 character with an average item level of 13? Pft. :stuck_out_tongue:
So yeah, if you wanna play legit without hacks, stay away from such games.
Also: the server name kinda gave it away anyway …

That torso is used in the Hidden Path.

Looks like the Pitmaster’s torso.
