Grim Dawn - ARPG

I'm interested in pledging but to be honest the trailer doesn't convince me very much. All I really saw was the same old same old and skeletons and zombies.
 
This looks like it could be good! I'm fed up of dumbed down RPGs with no stats and stuff. I wonder if it'll allow hosting of modules online for multiplayer, or is this just single player (not that SP only is a bad thing at all).

What we really need is a new D&D RPG IMO. I'd love a new NWN and would probably think about running/developing my own server/PW again if one came along.
 
New in game footage. Pre-Alpha.

This video shows a dual-class melee build created by mixing primarily soldier skills with a bit of demolition. Even without changing any skills, this character could also pick up a crossbow or firearm and be rather effective that way as well as the Grim Dawn skills are designed to be even more flexible, in terms of weapon use, than those in Titan Quest.

Still waiting on this and so far, it seems to live upto its hype. I bought into the game within the first week from their own website...totally forgot until recently...
 
Really? I'd almost given up hope one this one. I paid via their website (not kickstarter) years ago!

I assume I'll get an email once alpha comes out?
 
yeah i'm assuming so, also should see something on twitter if you're on there. They did change/modify the reward structure when they went to kickstarter funding but existing funders didn't lose out. It will be worth checking back just to make sure you all still have everything. No Alpha date yet, though it's around now they release some news or a dev posts progress - usually every couple of weeks.
 
Email was sent out via Kickstarter? Though I upgraded my initial backing into a KS one and so was on the KS email list.

Anyway, there's no NDA so the forums have a load of info to read up on. I'm surprised with the quality tbh, given it's an alpha there's surprisingly little wrong with it. There are a few glitches here and there but generally it's really good!

It's much closer to TQ than any recent arpg, loot drops are good, there are a large variety of monsters, environments look good (if a little dark) and are huge. Melee combat is satisfying and takes some strategy to do right, I've not really tried the other 2 classes yet.

well worth checking out.

How does it compare to PoE?

Loved TQ+IT, currently loving PoE, wondering if I should get in on this if I'm able.

not really played a lot of PoE tbh, I tried it ages ago but it didn't grab me at all. melee combat felt weak and i found it a bit dull. GD took a few levels to get going but once it did it is really reminiscent of TQ&IT.
 
Is it possible to get access to the Alpha on this now or do you have to have contributed towards the Kickstarter scheme??

I'm a huge TQ fan and read about this months ago but never got round to contributing! :(

From the Grim Dawn page it appears you have to buy at least the "Patron" pack to get access to the Alpha - is this right??
