There are two or three screenshots in which we can see (is it?) soldier class. In one of them, the level 35 (I think) character has ~15000 HP. On another, level 43 or something, has only ~5000. Is this a bug or an active/passive skill or something else?
They are both soldier classes and one has more life but less energy while the other is completely opposite. So probably a more caster soldier or something.
Edit: you can also notice that the caster soldier has more health potions and energy potions so I’m assuming that, being a caster, one of the abilities might add a significant buff to defense or survival and is probably quite costly to maintain. Just a guess lol.
Still, that is a lot of HP at that lvl. Most likely there will be some balancing involved throughout the development stages.
How much HP the character has is only relevant to how much damage enemies do. What I mean is, pointing out how much HP a character has without knowledge in how the other mechanics work really doesn’t make sense. If a character has 1,000,000 hp and enemies do 250,000 damage per hit it’s not really an issue.
I’m sure there’s going to be balancing of course, but there isn’t really anything functionally wrong with a character having ~15K hp at level 35 by itself…at least not without knowing all the other variables.
Me too, now I’m just waiting to see it in motion.
Good show!
I don’t know why but it kind of reminds me of Titan Quest. Just kidding.
I would like the health bar a little thinner, but that’s nitpicking.
Anyway, I think it would be a great idea to release some cool Grim Dawn wallpapers.
Great job!
Girl model looks awesome badass coolness!
Keep up da great work! Smash bugz tireless!
I need this game in my life…
Jesus it looks so beautiful!..I just wish I could like the font
The occultist is a totally legit character but the two soldiers are not. The one with 15k hp is wearing my cheat-ring that gives 10k hp and some ridiculous amount of damage. I it use when I just want to run through the world and test certain things. Both him and 5k dude are artificially leveled and they may even have additional skill / attribute points for their level. They’re basically just junk test-characters that I pulled out to show off some higher level gear because I didn’t have a real soldier that high level.
I think the highest I’ve played with a legit character was to around 25 and that was a long time ago. They kept becoming invalid as we made changes to the game or I changed around the skill trees. That and, of course, it is a big time investment to keep leveling characters. I play legit when I really want to accurately test overall balance / feel but when I’m just looking to test out higher level skills or some other thing, I cheat up test-characters.
Without the ring, Drinkn Lincoln only has a little over 3500hp. By that level it would probably be possible for a pure soldier to get around 6-8k if they went for all our +life, +% life affixes, dumped a lot of points into physique and maxed out the soldier military conditioning skill.
By that level enemies can dish out a lot of damage too though and you need higher hp if you’re going melee.
I love leaving for months at a time to come back and see Delicious new screens, keep up the amazing work guys! i cant wait.
I think you should have gone with a rampaging will-o-wisp.
From looking at the Screen Shots the only thing that I can see that will let Grim Dawn down is the font.:undecided::o
Any update about that?
I didn’t know there was a screenshot page, cool.
but
honestly, it just makes the wait worse. I need the game for my commute and occasional chance to play at work. the forum only helps me kill 15-20 minutes of my day. it’s a matter of need, not want.
buuut, I can wait.
♪───O(≧∇≦)O────♪
STOP TAUNTING US!
…
Don’t stop.
Looks freaking awesome. Thanks got the update, can’t wait for alpha!
I definitely second this. It just doesn’t really wow me that much and looks kinda boring. Maybe intermingle some other free fonts? or make the font really high resolution?(not even sure if that’s a thing haha)
Lovely screenshots. I think it’s good that the lady is fully armoured. I don’t mind scantily-clad ladies, but they don’t belong in Grim Dawn.
The game should have a joke item called “The Cheat-Ring”. It won’t actually be that OP, but must have some flavour text regarding its origin.
Beautiful screenshots!
Thanks for the update Medierra!
Very nice, I have no real complaints to give about the images, they are all perfect.
