Grim Misadventure #133: Announcing...

[Hipshot]

Very much looking forward to this. Pure desert environments has always been the best biomes in gaming, especially rpgs (example in no order, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege, Sacred, Torchlight 2, Titan Quest, among many).

I still have a tiny bit of hope we will finally see BOWS in this game, but I think it is very unlikely Please make it happen.

Forget it. Doesn't fit the GD mythos and Zantai said no new weapon types in last Friday's stream as well.

I heard that before, but bows make much more sense in an apocalyptic world with very low resources than guns do.

Also guns and crossbows are not fun

Nevertheless, still ain't happening no matter how many times you ask for it. Zantai's explained the reasons why several times over the years.

Bows aren't happening because they will require their own custom animation set for Male and Female, so really 2 animation sets. That is a crap-ton of work for no actual gameplay gain beyond aesthetic. For reference, we have one animator on staff, and we already end up outsourcing at times so he doesn't shrivel up and die under the constant demand of new monsters/skills/equipment/environment assets.

This could be neutralized though, if they raised the skill cap levels for some or all skills. So e.g. Cadence has 22 levels instead of 16, and Possession 16 instead of 12, or something like that.

What if we get TRIPLE class characters?

With 2-3 class required uber skills?

That'd melt a whole lot of decades from more than a handful of the player base in here.

And the true top tier might never actually be found for years.

...even in China.

As long as we get machine gun crossbows that shoot rockets, there shall be zero regrets in this grimdark life.
