Fangs of Asterkarn approximate date

[21's bitch]

Quick question about the new expansion's release date.

I know it's supposed to release this year, but do we know whether it's expected to be early or potentially very late in the year? Thanks.

Edit: just to clarify this was a genuine question as i don't keep up with news and am not currently an active player, should've checked around first since this seems to be a frequent question. Thanks to the developer that commented directly!

Ah. So that's why over 14 thousand people in the gaming industry lost their jobs last year, why so many studios shut down and even Ubisoft - one of the big AAA Dev studios is close to bankruptcy. Because the game Devs are tired of playing nice :D

Personally I like your game, spent a good time (197 hours) playing it, moved on to newer titles. I'm only here because I was checking on the update that just dropped but this petty argument caught my attention by having an actual game Dev respond. Very novel approach to PR tbh.

Take as much time as you need to finish the DLC, I'll take as much time as I need to buy it at a discount that matches my expectations of the final product.
Cheers!

You'd think these people in the industry would have learned their lesson after the numerous failures in the last 5-8 years(Concord, veilguard etc), but no, they still look down and despise gamers. pathetic really.

Are you trying to say those tens of thousands of developers lost their jobs because they weren't nice to players?

Are we really go down this rabbit hole in this random thread? I mean, I can give you some insight into the matter if you'd like.

I prefer popping into threads over regurgitating PR lines and big fake smiles. Remind people that we are in fact humans behind those company logos.

And, as it turns out, people on the forums enjoy watching bad arguments/logic get shut down.

I know why developers lost their jobs, corporate bloat, incompetent c-suite execs and useless dead-weight DEI Hires. Besides I was replying to Tyr, I have no interest in discussing crap with you. I only care about how good the games are and being treated with respect from companies I buy from. I don't care about dev sob stories.

This was my fault for accusing Zantai of being the best.

Truth be told, I stole major thunder away from Last Epoch launch with a meme on reddit, in favor of Zantai, and I got a little impatient as of late with the delay of Fangs.

With all due respect to Grim Dawn, let's end it here.

P.S. Grim Dawn is not a "single core" game and never has been.

Out of curiosity, can we get some clarification on this?

I just checked, and while it does seem like GD may be using multiple cores, it still also maxes out Core 0. You disable and re-enable Core 0 to get it to spread out a bit more, but when left alone with Core 0 maxed, performance is noticeably lost in graphically intense situations, just like with TQ.

Has the team done some work to mitigate this that I just forgot about? Between how long GD's been around and how many hardware changes I've gone through, I honestly can't remember if it used to be worse.

Grim Dawn does push the first core hard and depending on how powerful your CPU is, it can max it out, which is why this myth persists to this day. We're talking about an engine that was first developed when the majority of processors were still single-core and dual/quad core processors were only starting to enter the market.

Our programmers did off-load various processes to other cores though, so I can say confidently that the game does not rely solely on a single core.

Probably for the best.
