I wish I knew how to quit this dumb game.

I quit a few months or a year ago. All it required was getting bored of the mega-events.

But since I keep skimming the sub-Reddit, I learned about the death of Mom and Dad coming up and used my plethora of splinters to buy them. Seriously, had 2000 and some change from what had to have been massive splinter boxes tied to one of those mega-events.

I think I spent just short of $50 in 1199 hours according to Steam. But I also think I stopped playing like 2 years ago now. Still lurked these threads every 2-4 months.

Suddenly got bored and quit, fell behind, didn't care enough to learn which items were still worth anything and which ones were now useless for endgame.

E: 75g and 1,214 splinters left.

Since it's been a year or so, I've been enjoying the free 1000Gs/day and dicking around with all those boosts I probably mentioned in my last post. Eat an EXP crate, hit the raft, level 60 after I kill the Q36 or whatever prototype early on in the Jersey Docks.

Weird poo poo I don't like: New maps that feel smaller and cramped, story-locked doors so you can't boss hop the story, and that it seems to take a billionty Infinity Points to do anything now with end-game stats.

I've also spent 1000-2000 Gs on various fortune cards (packs of 36 and 72). The event cards seem to drop costumes/pets at a tolerable rate, but the Mk1-6 have loving abysmal rare/epic drop rates if they aren't just broken or had the chase costumes removed in a patch while I was away.

drat, I just wanted to get as many to 60 as fast as possible. Legendary quests don't seem to give massive xp anymore.


With this game dying and presumably this thread dying more where am I going to get the best out of context comic panels now???

I've been powering through the story mode (with +1190% exp and Cyclops passive). Nothing seems to pack any XP anymore except for the story beats. Just ignore most mobs, kill bosses until you hit 10, and then movement power to the locations. I've only got like 65 minutes left of XP at this level, but it's taking me 15-20 minutes per toon for 1-60.

I ran around with X-23 for 90 minutes trying to find bosses and poo poo in the new levels when they first announced the death of MH and it was painfully slow. Just play the story on normal with boosts and the game hands you max level.

so did the game even last a year after they made it all slow and boring?

Was it the Omega patch that made it so awkward?



8 toons left to get to 60. 14-20 minutes each still. Sorta wish this was single/multi like Grim Dawn now instead of a service that's dead, lovely, and unmoddable.

Servers are still up. I'm dicking around with Kitty through the story mode.

I didn't like her moveset leveling, but she actually seems sorta fun to play once you look through the rest of her abilities and try to figure out how they hosed with the powers between the year or two I didn't play.

Back to the story mode, I don't like the new linear maps they created where you snake through visually updated but simplified versions of the older maps with zero backtracking. However they just drown you in XP for playing this boring mode.

Guess I won't be getting that final Sue Storm token now.

I know you're joking, but if you meant ult-upgrade tokens I took the entire Dysfunctional Four family to level 20 ults last night.

Played a whole bunch the past week or two. Kitty Pryde 60 achieve still won't pop, and holy poo poo this game is boring. Random garbage showers down, none of it useful. I don't mean a few lovely drops, I mean the screen is covered in text labels for dog poop in all of the colors of the rainbow. But at least the particles are so over the top I can't see anything anyway (forgot to push the visual obstruction slider back down).

My only regrets are never getting the i69 upgrades for slot 2 and 4, or having any idea what else they upgraded to cosmic+ with red raid points.

Goodbye, sweet price. You were beautiful until you weren't.

For its death throes last night we got another 24K Gs that the entire chat had no idea what to do with, and Monday Madness auto-triggered.

I remember chugging stowed away boosts and farming the poo poo out of The Hood and Taskmaster until I got enough infinity points to quit playing the game (only like 5000).

Then I returned to the new Infinity system and felt like all my characters had been beaten to death with a nerf bat.

Okay, I lied. I put in about 1h50m into Grim Dawn tonight. Shaman (devouring swarm) mixed with Soldier on veteran/hardcore. I actually expected to die 20 minutes into the joke.

Now I'm bored and don't want to play anymore. Just unsold myself on the expansions next sale.

Keep playing vanilla Grim Dawn vet/hardcore--even alt+f4'd to save my character when I trapped myself on accident by walking the wrong way.

It's not bad, but it just doesn't scratch that MH itch. Not even close :negative:

Almost got to Homestead, and then I think a stacking debuff between a normal and a champion killed my chick. I was sizing up how to aim devouring swarm and I was dead from full in the time it took to glance screen right and back.

Useful loot was non-existent, game had no flare for the absurd like MH. At least I see why I shelved Grim Dawn a year or two ago and didn't want to go back.

Well excuse me for not reading all the forums online to have a pre-made build and goofing off because I'm miss a superior game :jerkbag:

You aren't wrong though. Non-soldier builds melt like butter to a heated knife with this game's spike damage.

Venom was pretty alright. Parts without Venom were rather lackluster or outright made no sense, but then Venom shows up and fixes that problem.

I've been playing too much Grim Dawn the past month and the game's progression does seems really weird. To the point that I didn't care about using Defiler to resurrect a hardcore toon I created to mule double-XP potions to others.

Characters never feel supremely powerful, useful loot doesn't drop at a high enough rate, blueprints don't either, and farming Kilrian's Soul fragments is sort of irritating. The game is still fun overall, but I'm not getting the power spike highs from items with useful +skill attributes like in MH . Up near the level cap you'll see evidence of what might be extremely powerful loot, but good luck ever getting it to drop naturally for what classes you're playing today.
