Managed to get an hour in a night ago. Still not at all comfortable with things, but slaying a bunch of the undead and some weird bugs was a good bit of fun.
Have to work out how to change equipment and weapons and how to apply skill points and what to do with loot I find. That'll be today's focus for me hopefully.
I must say, going into this as a completely blind newbie to not only the game but the genre is very cool, and totally reinforces the idea behind [MyGame]. Other than keeping an eye on this thread for ideas I'm going to learn as I go. Turns out that it's a brilliant way to get excited and bring the "fun" level back into my gaming life.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear that GregRedd. This is one of my favourite genres and Grim Dawn does it really well. The way to enjoy it most is to anticipate awesome gear. Getting purple or higher items are what it's all about! It's like when your favourite rugby team scores a try.

As is my habit with these kinds of games, I rolled my first character, a Shaman, played until just before the Burrwitch Outskirts and then I got curious about what the other classes play like.
So I rolled a Demolitionist, which subsequently got a massive buff in the patch (woot!), played until Wightmire and now the itch is starting again...
Suddenly I remember why I never finished Titan Quest.

I'm working on a tank build so it can take quite beating but takes forever to kill something. It's only getting better now with some passive AOE buffs

aaaaaaaah makes sense, I have the power, need more energy regen tho, but I can kite and kill stuff now relatively fast.

We cleared it last night at 24, was rather harrowing, and there were a few moments
Spoiler: show
But we did it, so the HC motta continues!

I'm on level 33 now. I cleared the first couple of levels in Steps of Torment before the Skeleton Key door; unfortunately like a nab I clicked the door, forgetting that I get 1 key for the quest completion, so now I had to go in because I didn't want to waste a key.
Unfortunately this was quite late and I was really tired, so nearing the end I started getting hasty and I died
I was so hoping to clear it.

I got to level 20 last night. I was exceptionally lucky with the loot drops last night and my character became super powerful overnight.
[MENTION=6280]Blazzok[/MENTION], this whole key thing that you speak of. If I get a key and use it on a door, does the door not stay open? Do you mean that I only get one chance to clear whatever is behind the door?

There are 2 dungeons in the game that, after reaching a certain level/area within the dungeon, require a Skeleton Key for you to open a locked door. Skeleton Keys have to be crafted and they break once you use them, meaning you can only use them once.
The Steps of Torment will be the first one you encounter, with the sealed door being on level 3. Once you enter the sealed doors, they will close behind you and lock. The only way out is to finish the dungeon or by dying; you cannot use rift gates beyond these doors.
If you die, the run is over. You will need another Skeleton Key to get past the doors again.

Fair Warning: You will get a quest to kill a boss on Level3 of Steps of Torment (before the locked door). The quest reward is 1 Skeleton Key as well as the Skeleton Key recipe. So if you complete the quest and accidentally click the locked door, bye-bye key.
This is what happened to me. Serves me right for gaming when tired.

Mmmm, that might be something to look out for. Are the enemies in there more difficult than the current area they're linked with? or did you just die due to tiredness. Might need to be extra careful when playing on proper-mode
