Crate Entertainment has clearly been busy lately, as they've already put the finishing touches on Build 31 of Grim Dawn and have announced that the action RPG will leave Early Access and enter official release territory later this week on Thursday, February 25th.  Beyond that good news, they've also released the game's "It's Listening to Us" trailer:

• Reduced the cap on the Loghorrean's summons and increased the cooldown of its Tentacles summon

However, for those that do brave a conflict with the Nightmage, he now has a chance to drop a Monster Infrequent unique to him.
• Reduced the burst potential and high-level scaling on the Loxmere Nightmage. In addition, this boss is now less likely to open up with a Shadow Strike.
• The Outcast now has a chance to drop a Legendary version of her unique hood at level 80+, and an increased chance to drop the Epic version with each tier of her Hostile status.

• Reduced % Current Life resistance on Heroes and Bosses
• Threat generation has been updated: Debuff effects and Damage over Time now only generate threat on their initial application. Rapidly attacking a target now generates reduced threat.
