I just downloaded Reign of Terror and I followed the instructions and I have the 4 files listed. How come it’s not working? Is there something else I need to do? I have even taken all of the files from the folder and put them in the mods folder, nothing. I got GD from GoG if that matters.
So… I decided to just name the folder “New Folder” and I found it in “Custom Games.” I started a new character and got it to level 2, none of the D2 classes are available to play? Is the game just items?
Sucks that my post was moved, now not too many people will see it and offer help.
Anyone that got GD from GoG able to get this mod to work? Of did is it only viable with the Stean version of GD?
The files go in a folder named ReignOfTerror, when you extracted the files they should have already been in that folder… The ReignOfTerror folder goes in the mod folder. Simple as that, doesnt matter where you bought GD from.
It’s 5 files, not 4. That might be the cause of your problem.
It works on GoG (im on GoG as well).
The steps you need to follow are:
Make sure there is a “mods” folder inside the base Grim Dawn folder.
download all 5 files, and nake sure they’re all inside the same folder for the next step
Open and extract the first (7z.001) into the Grim Dawn/mods folder. (Dont make a ReignOfTerror folder yourself, and do never select the Reignofterror folder for extracting). Use an extracting program of your choice. Just make sure its updated, but i tried both winrar and 7zip. They both can do the job).
this should get you a playable patch 0.7.3.0.
to update, download and extract the 0.7.3.1 update file unto the Grim Dawn/mods folder. Overwrite all files when asked.
I meant the 4 files in the folder. I eventually got it to work. I made a Barbarian and wiped on Andy haha. It was fun for a hot minute, but I move on to the D3 and TQ mods. So much better and the core game isnt changed. That part was a little wonky for me. I was hoping that the core game stayed the same and I could play a Trapassin, but nope.
I dont know why you think you cant play a trapsin in RoT, because you can. (Not if you pick barb though). But yeah its not the original map. For just the D2 classes in vanilla campaign, you’ll want to look at Noble Paladin mod, by DenisMashutikov.
The RoT campaign is more difficult than vanilla GD, so getting into it is more difficult, which can be a turn off for some (for andariel, max poison resists by crafting antivenim salves as soon as you reach lvl15, and poison resist potion from Akara etc).
RoT has much better balance than any D2 mod for any build, since GD is a better balanced game than D2.
GD gameplay being changed is to be expected since RoT is a TC and Grimarillion (D3 mod in it) and those other mods aren’t. They instead add content to the existing formula.
And yes, the D2 mod original work was used in this mod before all the changes. It’s also currently unmodifed in Dawn of Masteries.
I personally prefer the newly created D2 classes more than the GD classes. For a variety of reasons. I never played GD a ton myself. Maybe 3 characters and no serious endgame, one to level 100 before all the DLC’s came out, he was underpowered and could barely clear the content, I didn’t know what I was doing I guess. Then another 5-10 characters with quick playthroughs with high difficulty Grimarillion where you are level 70 before hitting the first main boss in act 1, LOL. So tons of playing but not connecting to the characters as much as I did Diablo. Yet, I like GD more than D2 just because of the gameplay feeling more satisfying and balanced.
First I ever saw a player complain GD being changed…
I’m having some issues with installing this. I downloaded both the torrent for all 5 parts. The first part (001) extracted just fine and was able to be put in my mods folder. All 4 other files however throw an error when trying to extract them using 7-zip. I tried downloading part 2 individually to see if it was an issue with the torrent but I am getting the same error.
“E:\Downloads\ReignOfTerror_v0.7.3.0_standalone\ReignOfTerror_v0.7.3.0_standalone.7z.002
Cannot open file as archive”
I updated my 7-zip to see if that fixed it but unfortunately it did not.
Open the first 7z file, you will see the completed mod. Drag and drop it to the mods folder. Each archive contains a portion of the mod, extracting the first alone will do you no good. Alternatively if you have problems, just highlight them all, right click, pick extract here.
After, grab the hotfix and let it overwrite whatever it needs to.
If you successfully extracted the 1st 7z file, you’ve done it, and you can then apply the hotfix patch.
002-005 don’t need to be individually extracted.
Installing the new version of this mod removed all my skill points from multiple skills with no refund and now my character is broken wtf. Gonna try to install gd defiler or something to get them back. Definitely not safe to install without backing up all your saves.
I should still have the pdf file on one of my drives somewhere. So I could update it, when you got the changes finalized.
I’m just a bit busy at the moment and don’t actively play RoT (or any other game for that matter) currently. So I might only check in on here every other week or so.
Clay Golem is broken for me. I summon him and he just stands there, won’t move or attack or anything.
I’ve tried unsummoning everything else and summoning him by himself to see if that fixes it, and he still just stands still. I can’t even command him to move.
I wonder how the new GD update will affect this mod?
I mean with dodging and no potions being just a small thing in the latest update, I hope my current run in this mod won’t come to an end.
Cause I’m nearing the end of Act 1.
And making YT videos on this mod.
Hey guys i got something weird
I cannot find a level 35 Relic called Endurance
Im looking for all quirt who sell blueprint Relic too
And i play more than 10 character at level 8x 9x but still no drop that Blueprint Endurance
Can someone help me, TY So much!!
Known issue that happens in the first 4 levels, few more points and it will move.
It’s affected quite some. So it’s recommended to keep playing on 9.8, both GoG and steam allow for playing on an older patch. Some people do report that Steams 9.8 still breaks the game.
RoT will get an update to be fully functional again with 1.2
