No one plays it and from my experience it's just terrible. Stay far far away from Grim Dawn has done with their online. Are you going to be hosting the servers like Path of Exile? Is it going to be more diablo 2 esque where you can join created games from a list? I highly recommend following diablo 2's style of online lobbying (trade rooms, duel rooms, questing rooms) or Path of Exile with a universal chat function. Being an ONLINE ONLY game, this raises a few questions.I do like the hardcore option, all ARPG's should have a option to make their characters hardcore.Everyone should start out on the same difficulty and the game should progressively get more difficult as you quest and get gear. I don't see the reason for the three difficulty settings from the get-go (normal - masochist).My very first initial reaction to entering the game was obviously most of the graphics/animations are placeholder so I won't comment on them as I'm sure these will be improved as the game continues its developmental cycle.

Very attentive to feedback those devs were and Chris is an awesome guy. I constantly wrote feedback (Back when I had the luxury of all the extra time) and they ended up incorporating a lot of the feedback that I suggested, such as monsters having auras, special events where spiders would climb up the wall as a triggered event and the monkey’s climbing down the trees. I just happened to stumble upon this game reading the Grim Dawn steam forums and it lit a spark in me that I haven’t experienced since Path of Exile was first announced (I was part of the alpha/beta there as well surprise surprise). This is just so you are aware of my biases. I’ve been playing diablo 2 for almost 18 years now which is astounding. I will continue to update this as I play the game.īackground on me: I’ve been a ARPG fan since the release of the first diablo, with diablo 2 being my all time favorite game.

This post encapsulates nothing but my honest opinions regarding my experience with the pre-alpha version of this game and what I feel should be the direction this game should take for optimal success.
