Gonna start playing this tonight - hit me up if you wanna play! (there are 3 of us who come as a package deal though)

If anyone wants to play with someone that just started (still downloading) add me to play

I really enjoyed Torchlight 2. How similar is it to tl2? People say Torchlight 2 is Diablo 3 except it's actually good.

It's what Diablo 3 should have been like. It's really fun. The skill system is a lot different from D3/T2 - your active skills are from gems which you can place into sockets on your items and level them up through repeated use. There is also a more traditional skill tree for passive attributes. It's fucking huge, someone linked it on the first page if you haven't seen it.

Seconding the Steam group thing.

go for it, won't do anything. maybe make a hardcore/softcore list

AoE makes this game so much easier. Just realized that after having played only melee characters so far, lol.

Agreed, I'm playing shadow and got a frost spell for one of my first quest rewards and it makes things really really easy

me and winter just got assblasted by some miniboss after barely managing to kill the vacuum cleaner at the end of act 2
I like this more than torchlight 2

Was that the guy with bear traps in the first part of act 3?

Act III is amazing. First playthrough is way harder than first playthrough on Diablo III Inferno. :)

Crashes and kicks you out often

It's a beta, what'd you expect? Pretty sure their servers are overloaded.

Vaal being able to oneshot is dumb :(. I soloed him with my first dead HC character and thought he was pretty easy. Then I tried on HC and he desynced position to1shot my newer HC character while in a party. So saddening, especially since I went for a tankier build.

Nothing, I was only pointing it out. I like the game, it's just annoying when you're almost beating a boss and you get kicked.

At least you don't die when you get kicked. Pretty funny how you can alt+f4 and spawn in town if you're about to die. Though walking back to where you were is really annoying (if the instance saved, which it usually does).

question for anyone who has played it yet, what do they mean by no gold? What's the currency thing in game?

There is no real currency. You get fragments of useful consumable items that eventually complete it (ie, upgrade a normal item into a magic item, change sockets, improve quality). Those completed items can be used to get equipment from the shop (which is generally horrible). The game is centered around drops and trading them around. The consumables can make a good weapon out of anything if you're lucky.

here is a rough guide to the exchange rates and stuff

this game is sick

I think I spend more time theory crafting in this game than actually playing it

All of my friends crash while playing ;_;

Now there's queue to start playing. RIP too popular too fast.

The queue isn't too bad, and it only just happened because the servers crashed.

My problem is that it boots me out periodically. Sucks if I'm in middle of a dungeon or something

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T STOP PLAYING
anyone who wants to play with a level 3 shitlord like myself add me on steam and we can get in mumble
