Since no one seems to follow updates to GD. Crate said that due to expansion numbers they gone back to work on GD from "service" mode. What does that mean ? Updates since start of 2019 (i list only major features since there are fuckton of smaller stuff):

Patch 1.1.0 March 2019

A surprise patch has appeared!
As we push towards the Forgotten Gods release (just 2 more days as of this post!), we are throwing every improvement we can at you.
Today’s patch has some pretty exciting changes to the animation system that we are thrilled to get into your hands.
We hope you enjoy this pre-release patch! For the full list of changes, see below:

[Major New Features]

Melee combat animations have been updated to feel more responsive and snappy. In some cases, the hit call occurs slightly faster than before, but overall animation timings remain the same as before and this change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
Improved blending on ranged combat animations. This change has no impact on the speed of attacks.
Improved weapon trails visible during weapon attacks, particularly with magic weapons.

Patch 1.2.0 May 2019

The latest patch is now live!
The updated spell effects bring a fresh coat of paint to the game and we are very pleased with how they turned out. You can also look forward to many item skill modifiers visually changing your skills where they previously did not!
Enjoy!

[Major New Features]

The Shattered Realm continues to destabilize with the introduction of 5 new levels!
Several older skill spell FX have been updated to meet our modern standards. See the Art Section for details!
Many Item Skills Modifiers with 100% Damage Conversion have been updated with new spell FX.
Some older item sets have fallen behind their more modern brethren. We took this patch as an opportunity to redesign them and bring a new life to their gameplay. We hope you enjoy the following revised sets:
Bloodrager’s Frenzy
Bloodrager’s Endless Frenzy
Iskandra’s Unity
Iskandra’s Unification
The Clairvoyant
The Clairvoyant’s Focus
Ulzuin’s Avatar
Ulzuin’s Infernal Avatar

Patch 1.3.0 June 2019

The latest major content update is now live for Grim Dawn!
With this update, your loot hunt continues with 5 all-new Legendary quality sets awaiting discovery. Explore deeper into the Shattered Realm with all new anomalies, and of course enjoy a whole collection of great features and balancing.

This update also coincides with the release of Loyalist Item Pack #2 548, which is a gorgeous collection of vanity items you can purchase in support of development at Crate!

[Major New Features]

The loot hunt continues with Twenty new items across five Legendary sets to open up new playstyles!
The Shattered Realm continues to crumble with 4 twisted new anomaly levels to surprise you along the way!
The Coven of Ugdenbog now sells Invisible Helm and Shoulder illusions at their Quartermaster.
Loyalist Item Pack #2 is now available for purchase. Claim your new collection of awesome illusions and companions and support Crate Entertainment!
Additional Totally Normal objects have been discovered in the world of Cairn.

Patch 1.4.0 July 2019

[Deferred Rendering]
With this patch, you can now toggle Deferred Rendering under the Video Options.

Deferred Rendering utilizes additional graphics memory to reduce total draw calls per frame by around 30% or more. This should result in a decent performance increase, especially at high video settings. Complex scenes, such as Devil’s Crossing and parts of Fort Ikon, should see the largest gains.

With Deferred Rendering also come additional video setting levels: Very High for Reflections and Particles. With Particles set to Very High, you can enjoy awesome lighting effects on various spells and abilities that will make combat at night and in undergrounds especially dynamic!

Note: Deferred Renderring does require DirectX 11, so if you are running DirectX 9, you will not be able to toggle this setting. Deferred Rendering also uses FXAA Anti-Aliasing, so that option becomes a toggle rather than a drop-down when the new renderer is enabled.

[Update to Game Difficulty]
With this patch, the base game has received a substantial balancing overhaul of Normal/Veteran and Elite difficulties, over 1800 database records in all!

We felt that, over time, the base game’s difficulty has waned significantly relative to the power growth of player characters, and even compared to the Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods expansions.

We’ve narrowed the gap between the expansion content and the base game content, meaning that the lower levels should feel more exhilarating to play and the jump between difficulties will be much smoother.

Does this mean the endgame has gotten more difficult? Well, yes and no. No because we focused balancing on the early game (roughly levels 1-60), but yes because we’ve updated old monster and boss encounters to deal damage in line with expansion enemies. All in all, the challenge should feel more consistent!

[Major New Features]

Auto-Loot for Components, Consumables and Crafting Materials is now available! Simply toggle the option in in the Game Options!
Partial Components that are looted are now automatically merged with other Partial Components in your inventory.
Monster Health Bars are now available! To enable them, open the Game Options menu and select your desired settings under the HUD tab.
Monster HUD has been overhauled with updated visuals.
Game Options menu has been updated with a new tab. The General tab has been split into Gameplay and Interface for better organization, and also cause General was ready to explode with options.
The Crafting UI now has a Search Bar to filter through your blueprints based on name or specific stats, similar to the Devotion search.
Owners of the Ashes of Malmouth expansion now have a Search Bar within the Stash, which will highlight items based on your parameters.

Patch 1.5.0 November 2019

The moment has arrived at last. Grim Dawn’s largest free content update ever is here!
With v1.1.5.0, Grim Dawn has received a staggering update to itemization, over 6000 database changes. If that alone were not enough, v1.1.5.0 also features the Tomb of the Heretic roguelike dungeon for Forgotten Gods and a series of smaller dungeons that will lead you on a quest to uncovering its entrance. The claim that this is Grim Dawn’s largest update ever is no exaggeration. For just a taste of all that’s in store for you, you can read the changelog below.

We are beyond proud to get the culmination of many months work into your hands today and hope you all enjoy!

With this update, we have made significant changes to Epic items. Epics did not receive as much balancing love as Legendary items over the years, and that changes with v1.1.5.0.

We went through hundreds of items to make them more exciting to discover and to make them more interesting for builds. While Epics are not intended to compete with Legendaries for endgame purposes, we felt that it wouldn’t hurt to give them a bit of a bump!

As with Rare Affixes, these changes were done for all levels, so that getting unique items even while you level feels awesome and exciting!

As almost every Epic item in the game has been updated in some way, there were far too many to list in the patch notes. Check out the items in game and enjoy!

Another major balancing pass of this patch involves Rare Affixes. We went through every Rare Affix in the game and made some degree of adjustments to most of them.

Sometimes it was as simple as increasing the values on certain attributes, but many saw entirely new stats added that should make more affixes not only viable but also more exciting to find.

These changes were done for all levels of play, not just endgame, so that discovering new gear as you level up is that much more enticing.

As almost every Rare affix in the game has been updated in some way, there were far too many to list in the patch notes. Check out the items in game and enjoy!

The last portion of our balancing pass was for common weapons to have an improved sense of progression between tiers. In the process, a couple lower level tiers were removed entirely (any unused appearances are now available at the Fort Ikon Vendor that sells Commonly Good Looks).

Any items from the removed tiers in your inventory will remain, but are tagged as “Obsolete”.

You will find that almost all common weapons have had their damage increased and the gap in base damage between common weapons and Legendaries is now gone by max level.

[Major New Features]

Riggs at the Conclave of the Three is ready to collect on his debt. If you’ve taken him up on his offer and completed the main story of Forgotten Gods, you may wish to speak with him again to avoid…unfortunate consequences of not repaying your debt!
The path to a new roguelike dungeon, the Tomb of the Heretic, has been discovered within the Korvan lands. Getting inside, however, may not be so simple!
The Tomb of the Heretic content update features 12 new bosses and mini-bosses, 4 new Monster Infrequents, 8 new Epic items and a staggering 18 new Legendary items, most of which are found only within the new roguelike dungeon!
The Coven of Ugdenbog now sells an Invisible Medal illusion at their Quartermaster.
Loyalty has its dividends! Owners of the Loyalist Item Pack #2 should stop by Lancel the Knight to claim a ferocious new look: armor and weapons of the Great Wolf!

Patch 1.6.0 February 2020

[Major New Features]

Monster Totems now spawn randomly around the world. Activate them to trigger waves of dangerous spawns. Vanquish all the foes to be showered with rewards!
Ten new Legendary quality weapons have been added to the game. These weapons can rarely drop from any source, but are more likely to appear from Monster Totems.
Ilgorr the Eternal, from the Steps of Torment, and Lagoth’Ak Harbinger of Blood, from the Bastion of Chaos, have been rummaging through their possessions and discovered 4 new Monster Infrequent medals for you to collect.
This update includes numerous backend changes that should result in improved performance in certain situations (ex. when there are many monsters on the screen).
Only Show Double Rares loot filter has been replaced with Always Show Double Rares. This filter functions similarly to the Always Show Uniques filter. You can retain the original functionality by unchecking Rare and Monster Infrequent filters and checking Always Show Double Rare.

Patch 1.7.0 June 2020

The Monster Infrequent update is upon us!

Featuring the largest changelog Grim Dawn’s seen yet (the old forum post character limit was 48000, had to raise it to 64000 to make this post), it’s sure to have changes that will strike your fancy. Among them are over 30 new Monster Infrequents, most of which are available even if you only own the base game!

All these Monster Infrequents will require farming of course, which is why we made some major changes to affix tables to make the experience much more enjoyable. Your chances of getting appropriate affixes will be greater than ever!

We are thrilled to have this latest collection of awesome changes in your hands and hope you enjoy an ever more polished experience.

[Major New Features]

Many bosses in the base game that previously had no unique loot have received the Monster Infrequent treatment. 30 new Monster Infrequents have been added to the base game and an additional 5 added to Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods.
Monster Infrequents now feature Item Skill modifiers in the base game and no longer require Ashes of Malmouth (Legendary item modifiers remain exclusive to expansions).
The Crucible DLC has been updated with four new maps for owners of Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods, two for each expansion: Crucible of the Bog, Crucible of the Woods, Crucible of the Stars and Crucible of the Crags, featuring new layouts and environments from the expansions to spice up your Crucible experience!
Many Epic items from the base game that previously had no Mythical version have had Mythical versions added to the Forgotten Gods loot pool. For more details, see below.

I don't know what else they can do with Grim Dawn tbh, the game is bursting at the seams with content already, and there's content for basically everyone and every build imaginable (campaign, Crucible, Shattered Realms, roguelikes, Nemesis hunting, build testing). Probably the only gap in the masteries is an acid-focused ranged character. Maybe they could add an alchemist mastery? My biggest criticism has always been the map and the story being wobbly. If they do another expansion, they should focus more on the big picture and moving the story forward, however that may be. That can also be done with a few quests in a free update, I guess, if they are planning on developing Grim Dawn 2.

deama · Sep 21, 2020

I'm surprised it still is going, I thought they'd be done with it by now and working on something new.

I tried to come up with a cool and satisfying necro-themed melee char and couldn't. Death knight doesn't cut it and other options are even worse. Do expansion on that and I'm sold. Although, alchemist class sounds p kewl as well now that I think of it.

Lacrymas · Sep 21, 2020

What are you looking for in a Necro-themed melee char? My Nightblade + Necro is pretty cool, zipping around and decimating legions of enemies with Bone Harvest. If you are looking for a melee + skeletons/pets, I think you are out of luck with the way itemization for pets works. You could try to play around with the Devotions that summon pets, but the skeletons don't work with a melee build because the necro melee chars are usually cold-based, while the skeletons are vitality/aether.

Zboj Lamignat · Sep 21, 2020

Pure, melee, necro-themed coolness. Primary attack replacement skill tree focused on that would be a good start. I was really, really disappointed when I saw that necro class doesn't have one.

With Titan Quest (I know, a different dev at this point) they went and added a new tier to all of the masteries. At this point I think that's a smarter option than adding new masteries. I'd focus on rounding out the class combinations that are a bit underpowered and without much synergy

Lacrymas · Sep 21, 2020

Eeeh, like I said I'm not sure what they should do if they decide to continue on with GD. The only thing that stuck out to me as missing was a ranged acid-based build. You can kinda make one with a specific legendary gun, but it requires you have 2 of them. Some skills maaaybe need a redesign, like Dreeg's Evil Eye and Panetti's Missiles. I feel like Occultist needs a bit of a redesign entirely tbh, it's kind of all over the place and some skills are kinda lame or never used. Like Sigil of Consumption, DEE, Raven, Doom Bolt, I think the doggy's Infernal Breath reduces its DPS. They could also polish up or create new animations for the PC, some spellcasting animations are goofy and clunky (like DEE and Panetti's, funnily enough) along with caster orb off-hands being unnaturally handled by the model. That's all polish however and could be done in a patch.

OA is too low. Uncapped bleed resistance will get you in trouble in places (Kubacabra will fuck you up). Uncapped cold and electrical will get you murked in a goddamn hurry with some bosses IIRC (I wouldn't try fucking with Moosilauke without capped cold, and Valdaran can demolish you without overcapped electrical),

Perkel · Sep 22, 2020

What i wish the most rn for GD is for them to add double mastery. Meaning i can play for example pure necro, since you won't be using some combos from other classes then all skills should get 1,5 multiplayer to their max level (or whatever it requires).

Basically on lvl10 you would pick second time your class again.

Patch 1.8.0 up now on Steam.
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/grim-dawn-version-1-1-8-0/103853

V1.1.8.0

[Major New Features]

The world of Cairn has expanded. Areas previously inaccessible can now be explored. With them come new dangers, and rewards!

New foes means new treasures. Seven new Monster Infrequents have been added alongside new minibosses.

Three new Legendary weapons have been added to the game. Where they are found, that’s a mystery for you to solve!

A new power rises in the world of Cairn. Discover Celestial Monster Totems, offering fresh challenges.

Namadea, the Wendigo Ancient beneath Barrowholm, now has two Monster Infrequents unique to her rather than dropping a selection of Monster Infrequents from Wendigo enemies. Forgotten Gods expansion is not required to acquire these items.

What i wish the most rn for GD is for them to add double mastery. Meaning i can play for example pure necro, since you won't be using some combos from other classes then all skills should get 1,5 multiplayer to their max level (or whatever it requires).

Basically on lvl10 you would pick second time your class again.

You can actually go quite a long ways as a single-class Soldier. Might say something about Crate's bias towards builds that RIP AND TEAR instead of shoot or nuke. I don't think it was a coincidence that for quite a while the Physical Witchblade bordered on being a "fuck you, I win" button and might have been the only class combo that could reliably handle the full Crucible run (before they added the extra few waves of "fuck you, tough guy" stuff anyway). My most successful character for the longest time was a Bloodrager Warder which is basically the Grim Dawn incarnation of RIP AND TEAR. If the enemy did not have blood and guts to remove he gave them blood and guts and then removed them accordingly.

Patch 1.8.0 up now on Steam.
https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/grim-dawn-version-1-1-8-0/103853

V1.1.8.0

[Major New Features]

The world of Cairn has expanded. Areas previously inaccessible can now be explored. With them come new dangers, and rewards!

New foes means new treasures. Seven new Monster Infrequents have been added alongside new minibosses.

Three new Legendary weapons have been added to the game. Where they are found, that’s a mystery for you to solve!

A new power rises in the world of Cairn. Discover Celestial Monster Totems, offering fresh challenges.

Namadea, the Wendigo Ancient beneath Barrowholm, now has two Monster Infrequents unique to her rather than dropping a selection of Monster Infrequents from Wendigo enemies. Forgotten Gods expansion is not required to acquire these items.

Anasteria, now has two Monster Infrequents unique to her, in addition to her Legendary helmet.

[Shattered Realm]

Nemesis bosses now give more progress towards completing a chunk at higher shards (up to 100% more at shards 60+)

Outcast’s Secret can no longer drop in the Shattered Realm

[Crucible]

Outcast’s Secret can no longer drop in the Crucible

[Animation]

Increased Animation Speed on Leap, Disengage, Teleport and Rush type movement skills by 30%

[Tech]

All summoned pets are now unsummoned if equipment affecting their skill level is removed. Previously, this only affected invincible player-scaling pets (ex. Blade Spirits).

Fixed an issue where Disengage type movement skills would clip excessively on pathing. Its behavior is now consistent with Teleport and Leap.

Increased number of sound slots to 128 to alleviate rare situations where certain game sounds would not play because the previous limit of 64 had been reached.

Fixed skills such as Ravenous Earth sometimes appearing in non playable space when using a controller.

[Game]

Reduced All monster resists by ~5% on Elite and Ultimate difficulties in Singleplayer (monster resists continue to scale up with additional players). This change is compensated by an across the board adjustment to Resist Reduction skills in all masteries.

The Barrowholm dungeon now has additional hero types in its spawn pools and spawns more heroes in general.

[Itemization]

You can actually go quite a long ways as a single-class Soldier. Might say something about Crate's bias towards builds that RIP AND TEAR instead of shoot or nuke.

Damage was never the problem. It is HP that is the problem when you go with single class as you have 50 mastery skills per class which is basically double amount of base life.

Oh it won't hold up beyond a certain point in Elite, no argument there (and after Ashes of Malmouth dropped you absolutely did not have a prayer of making it through Elite AoM single classed). That said, Soldier mastery pumps the hell out of Physique, which is the stat you need to wear good armor and swing big chodesmashers (well, as big as they really get in Veteran and early Elite) at people. Your Spirit will SUCK, though, so good luck wearing decent jewelry. I remember seeing a pre-AoM single class Soldier run done by someone on Crate's forums and they... got pretty far, given they were gimping themselves. AoM put serious nails in the single class coffin.

The biggest issue I'd have with the "double up on a single Mastery" thing is that some masteries have a decent selection of tools that sort of stand alone. Others, it gets harder. Occultist really has fuck-all for defensive tools, pets are something you have to build around in pretty much every aspect and they do NOT hold aggro for shit (Curse of Frailty will piss off mobs way worse than a hellhound or raven possibly can). Star signs can help some, but I don't think anyone who wants to keep their sanity tries single classing for long with Occ. Demo has one very nice actual defensive tool (Blast Shield) and then everything else is pretty much the same story as Occ. Debuffs, damage, and not much of a great way to cover up the fact that you're kind of squishy.

This is probably why the Phys Witchblade works so well. You basically have a solid backbone (Soldier) with good HP growth and decent tools for smearing mobs/not getting smeared by mobs and you add some really complimentary stuff from Occ to just make Soldier soldier better. It also helps that of the resistances monsters usually have, Physical doesn't show up in huge amounts, and CoF's phys resist nuke turns that mace into the fist of an angry fucking Witch God.

Lacrymas · Sep 22, 2020

There's usually little reason to remain single-class because the skills don't synergize very well with each other, I suspect on purpose. You also aren't forced to pick any skills in the second mastery, so just choose the one which gives the desired stats from pumping the mastery alone and spend your other points in your original mastery. That's the same thing in practice as being single-class but choosing the mastery twice. As for Occultist, yeah, like I said I think it's all over the place and feels support-y even if your main focus is pets. I don't think the other 3 original masteries suffer so much from that, but the Occultist feels dated and in need of an update. Maybe it was because it was the original caster and they felt the need to spread the abilities thin to cover all caster-y needs.

Regarding pumping stats via mastery: Physique is king. Soldier/Shaman, Soldier/Occ, Soldier/Necro and possibly Soldier/Oathkeeper (I haven't really screwed much with Oathkeeper and don't remember its mastery yields) are going to give that in spades. Soldier/Occ and Soldier/Necro will also get you some Spirit for jewelry. Physique > Spirit > Cunning. Cunning is pretty much the universal dumpstat unless you're big on sharp objects or shooty stuff, and even then you usually just pump it high enough to equip things. There is one notable Cunning-focused Blademaster build that can do insane damage but you're not particularly sturdy.

Well, there is hoping for Grim Dawn 2 in a new engine

Lacrymas · Sep 22, 2020

I doubt they'll change the engine, they managed to make a lot of improvements to it (being able to blink was a huge milestone for example) and they know their way around it, so adding content will be as painless as possible. We'll see I guess but I somehow doubt they'll jump into another hack and slasher. Aren't they working on a city building game?

Perkel · Sep 22, 2020

yeah i don't see why they should change engine. They already moved it to 64bit, deffered rendering (modern) and DX11. They just need to add PBR some GI and you have nice ARPG engine.

I really do hope that if they will make ever GD2 they would focus on tag like system which will give them ability to modify a lot more how certain things work on different things.
