The grim atmosphere tiring lame jokes

It’s totally normal ,actually:p

This thread is a joke and so is the actual game. Time to play something else:eek:

I just love those things in Grim Dawn. :slight_smile:

Easy fix, just discard those pants and pretend like you never saw them. Just because you have an opinion on something does not mean Crate will just suddenly change it for you.

(This text is kinda long, so I would say TL;DR the pretty great pants fit well in the story)

Mh, I have to disagree. From a standpoint of the erulan citizen, imagine you live in a world that is getting face slapped by animal-deforming spirits, and buttslapped by bloodsippers. Everywhere are criminals, cannibals, eldritch beings that for some lore reasons are your enemies, and you sit there in your lil shit cabin waiting for the day that one of em will knock on yer doors. Or you are with the black legion bombarding those dicks. Or with the malmouth resistence who probably won’t get rid of their sewer smell. Or the old hags (some call them witches), barrowholm maniacs, people who pray to the sun or people who dig up corpses and pretend they can actually do shit. Would you just sit there all day being pissed, sad, angry, full of despair? Or would you do your faction a favor and make some jokes to survive the grim dawn at least mentally.
If we look at Milton Hart (a dead human from the first act). He drops a monster infrequent helmet with a description. The description says “A notch for every taken he has killed”. Pretty badass, got respect for this guy. He loved his sister who is now lonely, and probably the last person to remember this guy who killed so many taken. Now we take a look at the pretty great pants, and why they fit into the story. We will take Ugdenbog for example cause it’s so marshy. A young guy named… Idk, let’s call him Mummon (Just because it fits your name). Mummon came from malmouth, and when the grim dawn broke out he ran with a group of survivors down all the way to ugdenbog and other marshy shit. He saw a few people that were about to be eaten by wendigo’s or just normal cannibals, and Mummon saves these people. However, they are badly hurt and cannot walk, so Mummon just takes them all on their shoulders (Let’s say two people, else it gets unrealistic for grim dawn standarts). He walks through ugdenbog, climbs around trees, through thorny plants and shit, but his pants don’t even get a scratch, or get dirty, while all of his less important armament gets a bit of damage here and there. Then he finally made it to the Coven of the witches, both humans save on his shoulders and asks the witches to take care of them. Now the witches notices the magical ability of the pants who helped it’s wearer to make his way through this dark and foggy marsh. One of the witches then says “Wow, you made it all the way here with those two people? You got scratches everywhere, but your pants just look too fine. They must be PRETTY GREAT PANTS” and Mummon is like “Nay, there just ok” and then they part ways with a nice chuckle. Ofcourse this story is totally made up, far too long and stupid in general, but I like to think about funny items this way. It somehow helped people to survive, even if they sound stupid. Aside from the soiled trousers, there is no hero story to that one. Have a good day!

Gotta respect the effort you put in that story. I know nothing about the stuff from the DLC’s since I don’t own them yet, got so much to do and new things to try in the original game.

I have to admit I smiled at the part where Mummon (which means grandma btw) carried people trough the mess and survived with clean pants.

I got your point, but the joke is just bad in general. They could be lets say YOLO-pants and that would be as fun as what they are now. Milton Hart’s helmets description is fun in style that still fits the world of Grim Dawn. I still think these pants should be renamed and description changed.

Today I’ve just got this Miss Gazer Man (https://www.grimtools.com/db/items/13729) from SR and I think it is the best gear I’ve found so far in this game, although I don’t understand why it is not Miss Gazer Woman. And I hope someday they will also add more gears like sir Gazer Man and madame Gazer Man :smiley:

That item looks pretty sick. Wanna trade >:D? Though I only have legendary items below level 100.

Would you like the find a Gazer Man (sans the Miss)? Too bad you can’t dual wield them. It’s a lot tougher to get than the Miss Gazer Man.

lol. You’ll be standing mostly alone on that then**. I can probably go on a limb here and tell you there is a 99.9% chance they will not be renaming anything to do with it. If anything the only result you’ll find is they make more jokes instead.

**And congrats. I’m also fairly certain you are the first in all these years to ever make a thread like this. Spectacular.

Why so salty? If my thread has effect you proposed; someone from Crate reads this and decides to trample me down by making more lame jokes, then I would be playing on your team.

I will still put my money on the remaining 0,1%. Thank you for attention though.

Each to their own. There is an item in grim dawn I absolutely dislike due to it’s name. it’s the fettan mask. It’s a star wars reference, and putting sci fi references into grim dawn (At least from famous sci fi movies) really destroys the feel for me. When I first found it I had to equip it because it’s quite good, but I immediately searched the first decorative vendor to change that look, lol. But as I said, each to their own.

Can´t say it´s bothering me. There is so much “Grim” in this game (just read all the notes…) that some break from it is really appreciated.

And we´re talking about an ARPG, not a pure RPG. And even there, some funny eastereggs are always welcome.

@Nin-Sama:
If you need a Ms. Gazer Man, tell me. I have spare ones. :wink:

What are you talking about, TQ had a very serious tone.

My pain is never-ending.

Thanks, I’ve already got that piece. DW Gazer Man + Miss Gazer Man AAR spellbinder sounds pretty broken, no wonder why they didn’t implement them as weapons.

Left to right, The Texan, Rainment of the Baker Street Sage, Bucaneer’s Garb and Santa’s Garb - all obtainable from the Secret Passage in TQ. :smiley:

Blackbeard’s set is the best, imo. I always try to get it on any damage-focused build. :smiley:

Gonna send you a message, yer my hero in need!

Never salty. Just calling it like it is after years of experience talking with Crate (or more specifically, Zantai). After awhile you can pretty much tell (with a reasonable amount of certainty) what’s gunna fly and what’s not and something tells me he isn’t going to be overly concerned that you don’t “get” some of their jokes in the game.

You can rest well knowing that someone from Crate has been aware of your thread from not long after the time you made it. They read most everything that passes thru this forum, whether they respond or not is a different matter.
