I actually wasn’t trying to argue with you. 
For example. They were working on making immunity tougher to break. If they do. I might hate it, LOL. We’ll see!
My point of view: slowing bosses by maybe 20% would be fine, but it’s not easy to limit it by just that small amount. Slowing a boss by 75% like in d2 (its done by just equipping kelpie snare on any merc, dont need to be summoner) so they cannot finish a single attack animation and just stop attacking, seems silly.
The aim/goal/intention if you will, of many bosses is to be difficult. So you have to keep on your toes, on edge etc, always be ready to dodge and not just facetank them because they’re so slow and hp regen keeps up with their damage.
If it would require an entire dedicated setup… perhaps. But it doesnt. Just pick the classes right and you can achieve this. A simple campaign playthrough is your reward but at least focus up on bosses.
Is it not possible to assign skills when using a controller like it is in Grim Dawn?
Ya thanks, Was trying to use the skill bar on the bottom. Haven’t played GD in 2 years and forgot how to assign skills on a controller. 
I can’t seem to get past the underground passage in Act 1. The game crashes every time I approach a certain group of enemies. I don’t have any other mods enabled.

The mod works stably only on windows 64, I had such a problem when I played on Windos 32
The main way to avoid a crash in that area is to not teleport out and try to go back. Crashing with a particular set of monsters hasn’t occurred for me in along time.
I generally stay there as little as possible and find the next waypoint so that if it crashes I can still continue the story without repeating material as much.
The crashes don’t always occur on all playthroughs either. But if you are having the issue with one particular monster pack, I suppose you could continue to have the crash perpetually. All I can say is that it hasn’t been my experience for a good year now to have this problem at all. Generally what would cause a crash is to try to take out the hidden boss on level 2 and die and then attempt to teleport back.

Bonjour, dans le mod ROT je n’ai pas les quêtes. Malgré les dialogues avec les personnages, l’accomplissement des quêtes de mémoire, le panneau des quêtes reste vide. Sans progression
Que faire ?
If you speak in english, im better able to help you out, as i dont spewk,french.
But also make sure you have the mod/game set to english. It doesnt work in other languages
I installed the mod and it works fine, with the official French translation files from this forum. But I don’t have any quests. No matter how much I talk to the characters, it doesn’t trigger anything. What to do ?
It probably does not contain the dialogue text of ROT, You need to add it yourself. Or select English to enter the game.

Hi guys, I only have the base game but I was interested in playing with the UI for the vanilla game? It looks amazing.
I downloaded the mod pack and could only find a UI.arc file - not sure if this alone would work, nor where to place it? Thanks. Enjoying GD and if I grab the DLC i’m deffo playing this!
I installed the texts, it worked. But when I resume the game, I no longer have the quests. I copied the quest files in the save as indicated, but I can’t find the quests and the texts
The probable reason is that you did not copy the archive file to the correct path.
Help, I have to kill the aracna to get kallim’s eye but the boss doesn’t care. I tried several types of spells. Fire, ice, electricity, poison, arcane… But the spider does not lose a single life point. How do I defeat her and advance in the quest?
@Simon_Terracole: Do you have tried to fight against the uber boss (with the skull icon)? That is the wrong monster - nearly all uber bosses in normal mode are too strong (but in Nightmare or Hell they are killable, if you do enough damage).
For Khalim’s Eye you need to kill a unique red spider (normal sized) in one of the spider caves.
@Ram:
I’m the friend of eisprinzessin and I’ve found some bugs:
- the Diablo2 item “Zombie Head” can’t be sold - but can be bought for 0 gold (if sold randomly by vendor).
- Andarial stays the “Greatest Monster killed” through the whole normal mode (instead of the other act bosses)
- the relic “Electroburst” needs 3xOrt and another 1xOrt runes (instead of two different runes like the other relics)
And is it intended that from the Horadric Cube there is no special “+1 to all skills” relic for Assassin and Paladin (the other D2 classes have one - and Classis Necromancer even has 3 relics)?
Aracna is not for the quest. You find the eye in The Spider Cave. Aracna is in Arachnids Lair. Aracna is an optional world boss, scaled to strength of the act5 campaign boss. Unless you’re decked in gear at lower levels, I wouldnt bother attempting these till level 35 at very earliest.
Not intended, but not really a bug either. Lack of inspiration is all. More will most likely be added at some point.
After I ditched my retal pet attempt, since it isn’t even slightly viable in the current state, I decided to continue with my EoR build. I went with 2 GD classes for this, Oathkeeper and Occultist, since I was curious how a build without a D2 class would perform.
To my surprise, it was able to hold its own up to and including endgame. I haven’t beaten the TotA yet, but I should be able to.
This build and probably most other 2xGD builds would be impossible to pull off without heavy use of the MI gear that was added. Like I can’t even fathom how you would otherwise get nearly enough stats to make any of it work at endgame. Since GD skills don’t appear on D2 gear, you have to stick to the few +all skills items and otherwise rely entirely on MIs. Using GD items is pretty much out of the question, since most of those, even set items, provide laughable boni in comparison.
Take a look at these two, I literally could not find better GD items than those on the right. I know those are just some random rares, but I wasn’t able to drop any set with EoR on it. Not one.
The second screenshot shows a lvl 92 item, that gives 2 low %damage modifiers, 1 AR modifier and 1 medium resist. I mean, how is this even meant to compare when you need this specific skill. Eye of Reckoning is hardly found on anything to begin with, so MIs are really your only viable option.
Luckily I had a good selection of those in the stash already, but if you think about starting from scratch it will most likely be a pretty miserable experience. This is my char at 91 with basic buffs up (no procs), but I don’t think getting more levels will really change much at this point:
Damage to dummy (fully buffed and procced):
A couple more observations. Is it possible that you skipped the Tomb of the Horadrim boss when you did your attack/defense readjustment a good while back? Cause he still seems to have crazy high defense, he really is an outlier. On Hell mode I went from hitting Baal with around 140% chance down to 92% on the Horadrim boss, only to jump up again to roughly 135% against D1 diablo. Even against hidden ubers I don’t drop below 125-130%, so putting the Hoadrim boss at 92% seems like a mistake. Now that I think about it, that particular fight always seemed unreasonably tedious on pretty much any char I played. No wonder if you are having almost no chance to crit.
The Gul rune seems to be overpowered when you wield a 2H. The +10% AR when wielding a 2H is not applied once, but to every single equipped rune. So you will get +75% AR when using 3, that is too much in my opinion. Especially since using a 1H+shield/offhand will only give you +60% and you will use up one more rune. Look at these screenshots, it’s not possible to get from 4k to 4.5k AR with just one +10% bonus. This was done without any buffs.
My last complaint for today 
are the Trial mechancis. The arena is so small, that all the boss spawns will immediatley charge at you, even if you stand back as far as you can in one of the spawn points. That removes any sort of strategy from the whole thing and devolves it into a mere gear check. “Can you facetank 3 supercharged ubers?” is really the only question this whole thing asks you. If you can do that for about 15 seconds, you will win. If you can’t, you will die.
Zero strategy is involved as far as I can tell, especially with chars that need to get close to deal damage. I feel bad for being so dismissive about it, but instead of the whole encounter the game could just as well calculate all your stats and give you a printout of whether you made it in the end or not. Most of the ubers move way too fast so splitting them up is next to impossible, kiting as melee will completely destroy your dps so the only realistic way to go about this is tanking. 3 bosses, every single round…and there are a lot of rounds.
The Shattered Realm broke this monotony up by making you traverse a level as fast as you could. TotA has nothing of that sort. You explained the reasoning behind that decision, running out of memory/asset storage and all that. But it just feels so dull and with none of my chars, even those that can semi afk it, have I ever felt the desire to repeatedly run this for the faction grind. Is there any way you could spice this up or make the rounds something else than just “3 big scary monsters charge at you from 10 feet away”?
Edit: So I tried to complete TotA with extra spawn enabled and I forgot how much of a shitshow it becomes towards the end. Certain combinations will just constantly stun/slow/mana drain you, even if you have 80-85% resists, like I do. That means if you use a channeled skill, you will get constantly interrupted and in this onslaught of visual effects it’s very hard to even see if your attack is still going.
I’m not sure what this is supposed to achieve really, just 5 ubers ganging up on you without rhyme or reason. Is the ultimate goal to be decked out in censored (+all res) gear? I get no sense of achievement from beating a round, since it’s only about stats at this point. Beating Brutalus or any of the ubers that have environmental damage/traps in their lairs is infinitely more fun than this. Really disappointing, goes to show how long I haven’t done a full run.
