Retaliation builds blah - no good

[malawiglenn]

@mad_lee the majority of players do not care about crucible and GDstashing builds etc either…

[Superfluff]

I said it based on Russian GD discord where quite a few players and prominent builders dwell. It’s also common sense: retaliation builds are the least popular ones so it’s not hard to deduce that very few players are excited about retaliation stuff.

Idk, i was very excited, and so were others on the forum when the mechanic was first announced. The retal concept is popular, just not the current execution. That is why they made this new mechanic and i have to say the implications run deep with it to make it work for quite a few classes and dmg types

How about everyone stop “discussing” retaliation builds and get on with some theorycrafting. Grimtools is updated! Get at it folks.

It’s like “OH BOY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A NEW RETALIATION SET” - said noone ever.

more like “said noone in the angry russian discord”

I frequent these forums and of all the threads in Ideas and Feedback I almost never see retaliation threads. Same goes to builds, I think I saw one AOM retaliation build posted there.

The forum and your angry russian discord isn’t everything. Just because no one posts retal builds doesn’t mean no one is playing them. I guess you are probably a bunch of hardcore players who can’t imagine that many average players out there are having fun playing retal builds right now.

Anyway, after seeing this Misadventure, I’m really looking forward to creating new retal builds and updating my old ones
Also I really like the look of the new items. Even if some of them are just simple recolors of old items, they are still looking very good.

Exactly, the current retaliation mechanic is not that popular. This misadventure was not about the current retaliation mechanic but the new and overhauled retaliation. It’s therefore completely unfair to slam the misadventure for having info on retal.

What an unnecessary quarrel in this thread.

To me also, as a concept, retaliation is not interesting at all. But I don’t really know how it works in FG, so I can’t say right now that I won’t like it.

What I can say, after looking at the Sentinel set is that tbe armor is way too similar to Devil’s Cage Hauberk. Doesn’t look like a new model at all. Shame.

Your opinion is valued and I agree that current Retaliation in Grim Dawn is rather niche.

Hopefully this perspective will change for many upon release of Forgotten Gods.

Woof!

Wait, are you actually suggesting that new/changed things might actually be coming with the new expansion? And that we shouldn’t limit the future to current state?

My comment is merely me being nice on the forums while trying to lessen the intense discussion with a nice smiley face and barking like one of the ravaging canine monstrosities that I am apparently disguised as.

Speaking of which I shall now proceed to poke a certain individual with malicious intent. Muahahaha!

Let us behave, children, in this place of games and loot.

Well, to be fair, we wanted to give players a legitimate means to wear the Sentinel boss’s gear, so here it is. Allminoxy still touched things up though. The shoulders are actually much cooler in practice cause the texture shimmers and moves, which the original did not.
