Ah, ok. I hadn't understood it. I'm still suddenly interested in this. I've never been excited about early access stuff and excited to see this is nearly out. Finally burned out on Diablo 3 after all these years. Really would like another loot game to get into.
For the people who are into it, how's the flow feel? I love the shit out of Diablo 3 because it just feels so damn good. I played Path of Exile and couldn't get into it because it felt really stiff. This is despite Path of Exile clearly having the better overall progression design at the time. For me I preferred that moment to moment fluidity over the better progression. Anyways, does it feel good? I remember Titan Quest also feeling like a pretty stiff sort of experience.

It feels a lot better than Titan Quest, while not quite as good as Diablo 3 on consoles. Unlike D3 PC & PoE, you can play Grim Dawn offline so no need to worry about lag unless you're playing multiplayer.
Bought. Now that it's feature complete I don't care if there are odd bugs here and there.
Literally the only thing I didn't really like about Titan Quest was the boring setting, a gothic horror take on the formula? Fuck yeah.
Performance is kinda odd, getting locked 60 everywhere but towns/settlements, where it drops to 55ish, it's a beta and all but still. Other than that it looks and runs great, really impressive given the small size of the team, I hope it does well for them.
At first I was like "I want to have a build that can do melee but summoning demons seems fun what do I do" and then I went "Ohh, right" and then I remebered how you can choose two different paths.
Also, don't Alt+F4 out of this game. Ended up having to hard reset my computer because my screen went black

I get massive drops in FPS when opening boces and picking ups stuff.
From 150 to 10 and back up.
Anybody else exp. the same problems?

No not really, just a general tiny drop whenever I transition between areas.

Are you maxing out the game?
What settings do you use?
I have an 970 so it should not be any problem i think..
I'm using a mix, but pretty much maxed at 1440p on a 280X. Game runs very well, either it's a driver issue or something else. Is your HDD getting full? I noticed stuff like that in other games until I cleaned it out a bit'
Edit: Oh, maybe me running it in 1440p is what causes the odd drops to the 50s

Drivers are up to date and HDD is nearly empty a side from a couple of games.
I tryed every video setting. V sync on/off. Nothing that reduces the hit when opening boxes.
I do hope they do some more optimization when the game get's an official release in 2016.

Actually kind of enjoying not having completion bonuses on components because I'm not holding out for the 'perfect' bonuses anymore.
Hmm, maybe a CPU issue? Never seen this before though.
See, there you go, institutional intervention.

I was having this issue when I had cloud saves turned on. Wasn't an issue at all once I turned it off.

My main build is still ruined but it's probably more likely due to the change to Squad Tactics. Fortunately for me I enjoy the game enough that that doesn't really matter because my plan is to just start a whole new character anyway. And it's been nice not having to pollute my inventory with a bajillion components.

Yep, it seems to be the cloud saves.
I don't like playing with cloud saves off though. It so easy and i always feel safe as to not loose progress in the game if it crashes. Loosing a character or some legendaries to a crash would be annoying as hell.
I hope they find a solution for it.

This feature in the game now or when it leaves early access ?

The game is 'content complete' now meaning all the features are present. The only thing planned between now and release (I believe in march?) is bug fixes and some re-balancing. So basically yes, whatever feature you're asking about is in the game now.
All the features (including Devotion) are in the build currently available. They're just going to do some more balancing and polishing before the final release.

The official release will be Q1 2016
The game is now content complete as they say.
So everything you need to enjoy the game is there.
Edit: beaten
It's like Diablo 2, all your character progression and items get autosaved, the world gets reset when you exit. So try to stop when you reach riftgates and not in the middle of dugeons.
Thanks,figured this is what was happening hehe,just wanted to make sure...liking the game so far,going Demolitionist for now.
