0.5.5 Believers
Well I just want something to do until December
Grim Dawn.
Was the DLC good? Seen mixed reviews
I love it. I deleted all my saves and progress for a fresh start. I like the new UI and the graphics seems better.
I can see more casual fans not liking it. The overall increase in difficulty and boring new area/story make for a poor experience of what most people look for in DLC. If you came just to play through that you’ll be disappointed.
If you like to make your own janky builds and really push the limits of the game then it is phenomenal. The core system improvements are all great. Tons of new itemization, a new class, new mechanics like onslaught stacks and potion buffs, an extra difficulty setting, etc…
Personally I think it’s better than PoE2 now if you like to do ssf homebrewed builds, push them to their limits, and hunt for loot. To really enjoy it though I think you need to have a solid understanding of game mechanics and like to spend time in grim tools making builds and looking up items to hunt for. If you’re just going to follow a build guide and do the new area you’ll be underwhelmed.
It’s pretty good, if you already didn’t like grim dawn it probably won’t change your mind…. But if you do like grim dawn, it’s worth revisiting for a playthrough
The UI improvements alone make it worth it. Plus how can you say no to a game that has ragdolls?
Did they ever fix the combat which is the worst of any aRPG I’ve ever played. Couldn’t even make it through act 2 it was so bad.
Grim Dawn relies heavily on classic, mechanical ARPG combat build synergy and positioning matter far more than flashy action. If that core rhythm didn’t click for you in Act 1, the genre style just isn’t your match.
I played Titan’s Quest (original one), Diablo, Diablo 2 etc. None of them felt as bad as Grim Dawn feels.
So in other words no they didn’t fix it.
They literally added a built-in dodge mechanics, WASD controls, and overhauled game pacing. But if you expected them to turn a classic engine-driven ARPG into Devil May Cry, then no, they didn’t ‘fix’ your inability to play it.
What’s fixing here? The game deliberately uses a specific system, there was no fixing involved, it’s working as intended.
You can ask the person who asked if it was fixed or not.
Legit could keep playing this until December as long as there are new things to play with.
I’ve tried every ascendancy and skill out
I challenge you to make a build out of the “his foul emergence” skill from the lich staff. I’ve been trying to think of ways to make it viable because I like the big purple face that comes out of the ground but I’m not creative enough.
8 second cooldown and unscalable added cast time of 1 second. I don’t think it can be anything more than a boss killer. It does have very high flat damage and high crit chance. Maybe some kind of massive single poison bonk.
So it would have to be tandem with cast on crit or something then. Bummer.
Chrononamcer sorcerer used to be able to to fun stuff with it, I had seen somebody spamming it in the past with echoes of it as well that had done pretty decently
With a remnant chayula monk that gets cdr from remnants from the lineage support i want to get the hidden anoint that makes wither reduce enemy damage. With his foul emergence with persistent ground support you can get to like 60% wither
Gears of War Zelda and GTA VI can keep me out of the game starting in October. If anything major changes happen in mid league aka duelist and sword, I’m quickly bored doing only maps.
Sorry I’m way out of the loop - is there a new Zelda coming out?
Not really a new it’s a remake of Ocarina of Tilme.
Witcher 3 remaster free if you already own the game! That’ll keep me occupied
Why play it now instead of waiting for the expansion. It’s not like I’ll do 2 witcher 3 playthroughs in a year
I mean we’re talking about the Witcher 3… I could easily log like 100 hours between the normal story and the existing DLCs. I’ve played it before so it’s more of a nostalgia and stop gap between PoE leagues. I’ll just come back to it when the expansion comes out.
Everytime I try to play this game, the character movement and fighting is just so bad I cannot play throught it. I decided to watch some playthrough and watched the whole game. Great game to watch, but playing it is really outdated now. On top of it, rpg elements are very bad. Almost no character progression, skills are very lackluster and it makes it very repetetive. Im glad I just watched someone else play it, because of it I could enjoy good parts of that that game which is music, lore, voice acting etc, and avoided whole game loop that is more annoying than fun for me.
Might be a good time to try again after the remaster, if you’re still interested in playing it after watching it. They revamped the movement.
Yeah, im gonna give it a look after they release gameplay. If it’s just minor changes, I won’t even bother. I expect some really different modern combat system.
I talked with many people about it, and even at release it was already outdated system. But hey, im not gonna gatekeep fun, I like some things other likes other. I hope they will pull it off, but knowing red team, and lately their reputation, im not so sure.
0.5.5 will drop before the remaster…
I just picked up Darkest Dungeon and all the DLC’s for like $20. I’m set and ready for the wait
Terraria update just dropped and tmodloader should be updating to 1.4.5 any second
Grug play other game
Valheim 1.0 in a week or 2
There is an upcoming remaster for The Witcher 3 👌
There’s a bajillion games coming up in September and October before the release of GTA6 (literally nothing is coming out in November because everyone is avoiding GTA lol). If not PoE2, you should be covered, whatever your tastes are, really!
Valheim, Enshrouded, Wardogs, Star Wars XCom, Star Wars racing game (they both look surprisingly good!), and so many others, it’s hard to list.
we’ll know more about 0.5.5 in like 48 hours.
1.0 is so hype tho
Can you save your what is 0.5.5 ?
Probably just an economy reset with a twist
Lots of balance changes and new uniques is supposed to be the big part
Balance changes means nerfs and 1.0 will likely have ever more nerfs. So not even that useful to prepare for 1.0 (things good in 0.5 could be nerfed again).
If there is no new content, I’ll probably skip and wait for release.
I’d expect them to overnerf so that they have the ability to bring the power back up for release to generate hype.
balance changes will include nerfs sure, but it should also be buffing/reworking underperforming skills. “Balance” :)
New uniques means nothing
Yeah mageblood did absolutely nothing right
The twist is nerfed twisters
The nerf to twisters should be:
You take 100% more damage from on-ground effects. Id be funny cause you can’t see that shit
I mean there is no way they do whole ass stream for just a reset, there has to be some content. And it’s not like they’re going to blow all their 1.0 teasers here, they’ll save those for exilecon.
They will introduce new characters for testing 109%

Not a reset, think of it as a synchronous fresh start league
Give us revamped trials for 0.5.5!!!
Trial of the Ancestors for Ascendancy 3 would be fun.
didn’t Johnathan say TOTA might not be even part of 1.0?
Yes and it was likely going to have to wait until a Karui themed league to justify working on it.
I think we will get the druid and ranger ascendancies that are missing for 0.5.5. Bottom left area of tree also needs some work so we are either getting that before 1.0 or with 1.0. I still hope we get one more class and weapon, daggers probably makes the most sense as fast, high crit weapons + trap skills.
0.5.5 will be a new economy, most likely with the roa league mechanic, but with some crazy build possibility or temporary modified ascendancies. Or might be some small mechanic that does not impact any skill ascendancy so we “beta” test for 1.0
You’re on one if you think they’re developing anything temporary from here until December.
Eh, I could easily see them setting up(Or having already set up) the framework for the “light” events like we get in PoE1 sometimes, like Mayhem, atlas invasion etc. Not real new content, but just something that somewhat shakes up.
it will be (much needed) nerfs, rebalanced skill tree and new and updated uniques. Maybe an new ascendancy
So what’s the date guys?
Most likely September 4th or 11th due to exilecon and PoE1 league launch dates. Nothing confirmed yet though.
We are waiting for the date :/
I wanted swords so badly…
Good ole jebailey
Patch 0.5.5 will likely be available 04.09. (next Friday), but I hope we got some new stuff that justify the wait. I was hoping sword would already be here but not the new ascendancy of Duelist. Now I hope for a overall improvement of endgame balance at least.
Didnt they say its just econ reset maybe with somethin a lil extra?
I expect nothing
They said to expect balance changes and new unique items.
And they wanted the 2 missing ascendancies in before 1.0.
I want a performance update for ps5, is it too much to ask at this moment???
Where the hell is it LOL
they weren’t gonna talk about an early access patch on the showcase for a big gaming event lol
oh for sure not in gamescom but at least some update tho
yeah, the 27th, as previously stated only 500 times.
Just wait a couple more days for GGG Live.
Release swords And other plan weapons and other plan ascendencies so we players can help balance it before 1.0 pls GGG
Makes much more sense they keep content back so 1.0 feels like a major event.
They already said this with 0.5 as well if I remember correctly. We should be expecting balance shifts and maybe end game tweaks, but not big content drops.
Just to help set expectations.
I don’t mind them keeping swords for 1.0 but I’d like to try Magic Archer
we will be lucky if 0.5.5 will have missing ascendancies and some balance changes. we’re not getting anything major, because marketing wise it’s better to hold all the best content for 1.0
Longshot but I’m praying we can touch duelist in 0.5.5
definitely not going to happen.
I had hope prior to their announcement today but it explicitly was announced alongside 1.0
Duelist isnt happening for 0.5.5
We will get balance changes and light content.
Itd be neat if they did another set of challenge cosmetics as a last hurrah for early access players.
I mean yeah, they have said so that 0.5.5 and anything other than 1.0 is only balance changes and minor adjustments, so :D
yeah me too, they’re gonna use the duelist to hype the 1.0 even more
Longershot, but I’m praying we can get axes and marauder in 0.5.5
Yeah…I thought that too before this trialer, It’s not gonna happen. Best we can hope for is Templar maybe
GGG giving what people want early?? Nah they are just good at showing previews
