Yea I'm really enjoying this. Took my time and only just finished the prologue around level 7. Looks and feels like Titan Quest so that's good. Can't wait to play more.

The game is only the prologue for now?

 

[DavidGzz]

Anyone try on deck?

Yeah, first attempt was an immediate close and send report, second time I changed the video settings(default is epic) to medium, turned on frame gen, and it's fine.

No that's only as far as I got before lunch.

Oh nice! Price is pretty cheap then that's surprising

You have to make use of that dodge early on. Wolves pwned me.

Being able to play offline is a huge plus. Easy purchase boys. They deserve it.

Edit: Ok, Steam Deck only people, buy at own risk. The more I play the more I realize it's not optimized for it yet. Pretty much no matter what settings I use, it is 15-20 fps. It's tolerable for me on such a small screen so I am making do at work, but if it's your only way to play, you may want to think about it. Also, don't try FSR, it adds a lot of input lag.

Resuming my run now!

 

[Yoshichan]

Okay so map progression was saved since I quit the game yesterday, but enemies have respawned and even hidden treasures etc.

Kinda makes me unsure why there's a button at the shrine to "reset all monsters"

 

[geary]

Is good the the genre to have more competition. Now we have PoE1, PoE2, D4, D2R, LE, TI, TQ2....

 

[Yoshichan]

Alright so just to be absolutely clear (this is insane), just outside of the boss room there's a shrine that I can activate over and over again to fight the boss (and gain its loot + exp)

 

[Yoshichan]

Hard resistance cap (at least in the early access so far) is 60% (thanks to this insane passive, I could try it out)

 

[amigastar]

I've read the game has 20 hours of playtime but it's completed in 4-5 hours rather. i wonder what is true.
Also very important, how is the loot? Do i get a good chunk of rare loot or even uniques (although uniques is a bit much of asking for)

So far no uniques, but "sets" (green) and epics (purple).

Loot itemization is fine! You're looking for the usual movement speed on boots, increases attack speed on gloves, resistances on rings etc.

Have the Dev's given an ETA or timeline to 1.0.?

Already have POE2 and Witchfire on the go in EA. If its a year or more out I think I'll wait a while.

I remember hearing end of 2026 for 1.0.

Fextralife said they've got info directly from the devs that the 1.0 eta is late 2026, with major updates every quarter on the way.

Cheers chaps. Looks really nice. Think i'll give it a few updates before jumping in. Stuck it on the wishlist.

 

[dreamstation]

Anyone tried the multiplayer? It says you can enable it via test branch on steam. Wondering how it works with progression states, exp and drop rates, etc.

 

[Yoshichan]

That was fantastic!

I did everything imaginable, farmed all bosses multiple times on +5 difficulty and completed all quests (including the hidden side quests with no marker).

Took me around 11 hours.

If you guys got any questions let me know!

Wanna ask, how is the loot. Is there +1 to ability or rather just movement speed, attack speed, critical hit chance, etc.?

 

[Yoshichan]

Wanna ask again, how is the loot. Is there +1 to ability or rather just movement speed, attack speed etc.?

No +1 to ability in the game from what I know! Here's a taste of my gear that I've gotten by farming lvl 25 bosses over and over again:

I see, hmm too bad. Maybe they will implement better loot later down the road. I mean this is EA at it's earliest.

 

[Yoshichan]

Aight so I just payed the shrine to scale all enemies to my level (25) and then added the +5 thingie so now bosses are lvl 30 and drop lvl 30 loot. They're insanely good items hahaha, same type of stats but just plenty of them

 

[Yoshichan]

Ooooh, big find! Gambling gear gives you access to the item level of the world so if my world level is 29 and I gamble, I get ilvl 29 stuff

 

[Yoshichan]

100k XP per hour farm by yours truly (can do anytime you want, no need to be high level)



Basically a level every 10 minutes

And just like that, I ruined the early access lol

 

[amigastar]

Although the game sounds great, i will wait with purchasing an Early Access title. I'll rather play Grim Dawn again.

 

[Yoshichan]

worth the money imo!
