Grim Dawn - What's New in The B22 Beta
This weeks Grim Dawn Misadventures post from Crate Entertainment talks about what to expect in the next Beta release. As usual here are some of the details.
Grim Misadventure #56: What's New in B22
Another Grim Misadventure is upon us! Today, we would like to preview some of the quality of life features coming your way with our next update.
Build 22 is very much a fulfillment on many highly requested and beneficial features. The devs are listening!
Here are the features you can look forward to in the coming weeks:Instanced Loot
A major update for Multiplayer fans out there, starting with B22, you will be able to enable Instanced Loot when you host a game session. Instanced Loot will treat all item drops as if you were playing in a solo session, which means less time spent figuring out what belongs to who and no more stress over players taking your hard-earned loot.
Auto-Combine Components
Odds are good that you have all come upon a Component or two in your travels through Cairn. In fact, some of you have collected quite a few. Some would say a whole lot of them. We understand the frustration in manually combining all those Components yourself, so we have introduced a new button to the inventory UI which will automatically combine all of the Partial Components in the respective inventory bag.
Expanded Storage
Additional storage has been a highly requested feature here at the forums. With B22, you will be able to purchase additional tabs in the Transfer Stash for your characters. Purchasing one of these extra tabs will unlock it for all of your characters.
DPS Comparisons
In B22, you will be able to compare a weapon’s effective DPS to your currently equipped weapon directly through the tooltip. You can also hold Ctrl to have it compare the two items without the attached components.
Bug Fixes!
Did you know that the guards in Devil’s Crossing occasionally lose their weapons? Neither did we, that is until someone noticed one of our valiant defenders firing an invisible rifle. Mind over matter I suppose.
On the order of more serious bug fixes, we pinpointed the cause of some crafting recipes generating items with no affixes, an unintended result. This fix is not retroactive however.
We have also received reports of Sphere of Protection and other shield spells creating excessively bright visuals when cast together. This has been significantly improved.
The bottom line is: keep on reporting issues as you see them. You are helping make the game the best it can be!
All this and more is coming with Build 22. We expect the release to come your way by early November. Grim Misadventures will return with more on the game’s development on 10/27/2014.
