i have been playing Grim Dawn for a little while now and this games literally reconciles me with the fact that diablo 3 sucked so much compared to D2... this game is insanely good and i was wondering why is it not played more ?

Because it's actually not insanely good. At all.

Everyone who would be playing it now already played it on release. Game sadly had no potential and died really really fast.

RNG, open trade market, limits on the stats items can have.

Content that cannot be edited by the user, making their char 10000x stronger than required.


These are what did it for me, whats the point in playing a game for stuff, when u can just create whatever item u want and be the best?

Grim Dawn is fun, much fun actually.

I am having a blast playing it. Trading with friends and random folks is great. Haven't ran into a single modder and I don't intend on modding my gear.

Open Bnet was optional as is modding in this game. IMO modding will only improve the long-term stability of this game. Specifically around custom challenges, maps, and viable gear (not OP) for creating new classes. Content rules.

A section for Grim Dawn can be warranted, but I think we need to start with a thread first and gain traction.

I don't think it's overlooked.

It's fairly popular and the recent patch brought a lot of streamers to play it too.
It had a few thousand viewers which is pretty solid.

I had no trouble finding people to play with and the game has fun pvm.

If you're wondering why it isn't as popular as other arpgs like POE, there's zero competitiveness in Grim Dawn.
I'm sure there's other aspects as well, but that was primarily my problem with it.
