Hello Grim Dawn team and community,
Was wondering since there will be the last chance of a possibility for this. Since there’s likely enough content in the game now to go from level 1 to 100 in one campaign play through and I’m not a fan of repeating content–doesn’t it make sense to make a mode where monsters/bosses scale quite brutally with level to accommodate leveling 1-100 on one full hard play through of the campaign? Perhaps Roguelike dungeons could gain the benefits that would otherwise be granted by ascendent mode in this brutal experience. Make resistances harder to stack…hard to be ridiculously powerful…make it all brutal…a real grim dawn…call the mode grim dusk… it would be a glorious gamer feat if you clear the whole thing on stream without cheating to 100 on hardcore… that brutal, would get lots of streamers and attention…
I feel like the three difficulties were originally necessary for a 1-100 play through because there was not enough content to get to 100 in the early days of the game, but now it seems there is more than enough content with the new expansion coming if there wasn’t already. As someone who loves brutally challenging survival games, I would love to play a mode like this on hardcore and it would keep me entertained for at least another decade… Thanks for hearing me out, been here since the beginning.
