Grim Dawn - Fangs of Asterkarn

累计游玩将近4500小时，一直纯单人游玩，曾经非常热爱《恐怖黎明》。但是新DLC《阿斯特坎之牙》飞升机制设计极其失败，彻底抛弃单人玩家！ 想要刷装备飞升所需的灵魂碎片、灵魂回响，只能进入飞升难度，还得献祭稀有材料激活飞升祭坛的掉落加成。这套增益不只是提高爆率，还会疯狂抬高怪物血量与伤害。加成一开，怪物强度直接失控，单人进图频繁被瞬秒，根本没办法稳定刷材料。 更离谱的是祭坛所有buff仅限当前对局生效，一旦退回主菜单全部清空，每次上线刷材料就要重复消耗珍贵稀有素材，资源持续白白浪费。 整套机制明显在变相逼迫玩家组队，完全无视大量长期单人游玩的老玩家。深耕数千小时，如今单人路线彻底走不通，单人实在玩不了，不玩了，非常失望，差评！

Shi tty DLC crashes every time you try reload game. Locations are too big, OMG so empty and boring. Like every other DLC it brakes totally progression in game - finish normal and you got almost all devotion points. In devotion nothing changes - no new point no new constellations, no new mechanics (was so hard to add empowering or sth...?). Components are even more obsolete - they drop like crazy so it makes all mechanic not fun. Most of enemies are reskin of already introduced. Music is at best ok. Overall money and sentiment grab DLC - if it wasn't in game you wouldn't miss anything. Even cliche desert FG was better than this crap.

到底是谁做的游戏?新dlc的粪怪和伤害跟之前有的比吗?你们设计出来之前有测试吗? 制作组除了恶心玩家 那个原始打击都是什么垃圾了 然后当bug修复了补正呢?真以为修复之后会有若智玩那个b无cd原打?

They cooked with this dlc. I have about 3,500 hrs into the game already. Time to put another 3,500+ into it

This expansion is GREAT for end-game optimization, the new mastery (Berserker) absolutely rules and it looks and sounds great. The new areas are very big and atmospheric, but lack a bit in depth - denser mobs and a few additional caves or mini dungeons to explore would be very welcome. The balancing is still a bit iffy, but nothing that can't be polished. Not my fave expansion but worth it for Berserker alone!

Для меня это худшее дополнение, особенно великолепного второго дополнения. Здесь хуже все - крайне скучный и однообразный дизайн локаций, сюжет, дизайн врагов и даже финального босса. Особенно глупо то, что не добавили новые уровни и очки набожности, то есть ты по факту уже уперся в прокачку и в целом новое тупо пробегаешь без особого интереса. В целом дополнение не вызывает прям негативных эмоций - оно не вызывает никаких кроме разочарования. Для стольких лет разработки и после двух классных дополнений, в особенности Forgotten Gods, тут два шага назад во всех аспектах. И в целом оно прям не заслуживает красного пальца, но вкупе с тем что для работы дополнения требуют наличие двух предыдущих длс, куда просто засунули один квест на пару минут и вместе с этим подняли на них цены - отдельный позор.

The claim "biggest expansion so far" is not true at all. It may "look" big because the areas are huge, but it doesn't have half the depth, the immersion, and the polish of Ashes of Malmouth or Forgotten Gods. Ascendant difficulty is not exciting and doesn't add anything new. I would have expected the progression to be somewhat linear with item upgrades needed to finish the questline, No, I simply picked a lvl 100 character and finished it straight away, didn't see any interesting new item drop either. The currency to ascend is extremely scarce and the new region lacks replayabilty value: (It's huge and there's no totems and no multi-floor dungeon) And there's the altar, easily the most hyped addition to the game. All it does is adding some extra chances of mechanics/drops (negligible percentages mostly) at the cost of sacrificing reagents and adding substantial buffs to the monsters hp and dmg. It's nothing groundbreaking but everyone likes rogue-like kind of challenges right? No. The buffs are EXCLUSIVE to the session you are currently playing, so you got to pay the price for activating them EVERY TIME. How they managed to not make it ON-OFF toggle with permanent unlocks, is beyond me, I don't want to be feel forced to play very long sessions to make the most out of the reagents costs. Simply ramp up the cost to unlock altar perks by 10x and make them permanently available. This is really bad design, and disrespectful towards people time. (Not to mention some altar options requires MUCH rarer reagents. penalizing builds that want to activate them) This DLC would have been Ok-ish if it released sooner and without so much hype. As I sad, Ashes or FGD is VASTLY superior in every compartment. I believe it's easily fixable by reworking the altar and drop rate in Ascendant, untl then i cannot reccomend it.

Overall I had a really good time with the dlc. the new areas are really nice, lots to do, some interesting fights and stories if you are into lore. If you played the original game and like that it is well worth getting the dlc. There were some bugs and balance issues when the dlc launched but most (if not all) of that has been patched so the game playes really well now.
