Played about 1 hour of the beta...my god I didn't expect it to be so much better compared to the first one. I was trying to finish Torchlight before the sequel, but it's gonna be hard after this... I played as a Berserker on Veteran, immediately ditched the default skill and got the charge/lifedrain in the Shadow tree...SO. MUCH. CARNAGE. I also already found 2 uniques that I can use, the loot in general seems way better balanced (although some of the requirements are a bit steep). Where are the 4-packs guys? I need a cheap copy NOW. So that I can...stare at it on Steam, or something.

I got my key, downloading now... crawling slow :-/

Signed up yesterday and just got my key. :)

[jim-jam bongs]

Fingers crossed

[subversus]

it doesn't recognize my Runic account username when I try to connect online in-game. Does anyone has the same problem?

[kami_sama]

Anyone has a extra key? I just registered in their website :( If I knew this before...

[Moaradin]

I really like the gear in this game. Early level and I already like my set.

There is a thread in the beta forum about that. Looks like they fixed it but it went flaky over night/this morning. You have to link your forum name with the runic account then wait for it to be verified (only took ~30 mins for me) to gain access.


Signed up on their site yesterday and got my key this morning. Download is going slow and it won't connect to P2P. Just pulling it down via HTTP.

[Sarcasm]

I am playing this. Wow what an improvement. Anybody wanna team up?

[Gowans]

Lovely got my key, i'll take a 90mn Diablo 3 break tonight and give it a good go.

[rCIZZLE]

Can't wait. Preordered it a couple weeks ago to get the free copy of TL 1 since I never played it. What would you guys in the beta say is the biggest improvements over TL 1? Besides co-op of course.

[fresquito]

I gave it a first go with some random people. It's a lot more crazy than Torchlight 1. I went with the Berserk and had fun.

I noticed I was levelling like crazy. I had to spend points, pick up loot, decide, even more than killing things! All in all, it was very fun and, except for a moment when there were a lot of enemies and things going on, it was fairly smooth and didn't notice any problem (I was playing with someone from US, I think, and I live in Europe).

It's looking really good. TL1 in comparision looks a bit empty now.

[The_Monk]

I'm just curious, will this game be getting a Physical release? I have the first one on Steam but I think it was also released in physical form?

Yes and yes.

[The_Monk]

Yes and yes.

Thanks for answering, kind sir.

[SteveWD40]

So far, is there more variety of armour in the beta? In TL1 there was about 4 sets for each class and all armours were just re-skinned versions of them, I am hoping TL2 has more variety in looks.

There has been a ton of variety so far.

Of course I get into the beta the first weekend after diablo 3 :D

That's exactly what I was thinking. Wake up this morning, and suddenly I find a Beta key in my mailbox? Choices, choices!

[SteveWD40]

Cool.

I woke up to a beta invite as well.

Shame it was CS:GO.

[K.Jack]

I signed up yesterday, just on a bored whim. Today I wake up and BOOM, beta key in my mail box.

Downloading...

[wwm0nkey]

Movement speed in games like this make such a big difference. One thing I dont like about D3, everything just feels too stiff and slow.

[zbarron]

I just signed up. Hope it's not too late.

[IblisGinjo]

Got mine just took some patience. *edit* kami_sama pm sent.

[Felix Lighter]

I just played for an hour and a half. Feels good. I'll definitely be picking the game up at some point.

One question, has anyone else noticed some jittering, even when the framerate is constantly 60 fps? I'm noticing this in more and more in games lately and the fix that seems to work the majority of time is fullscreen windowed mode, which is a rare feature without the need of some 3rd party utility.

Edit: Windowed mode does smooth out the jitters. Hopefully there is a fullscreen windowed mode when the game launches or there's a mod at some point.

[Patryn]

Yeah, that's something I noticed immediately. It's a lot faster than Diablo 3, and not just in movement speed. I played maybe 45 minutes and I was already level 6.

Regardless, I liked it a lot. I'd say that I'm definitely going to pick it up when it comes out, but I already pre-ordered it on Steam.

[Dragonzord]

I just can't go back to not having an adorable pet in these kind of games.

[Brettison]

Dang still haven't gotten my key yet. LAME!

[K.Jack]

Download froze 30 minutes ago, with just 18.20 MB left. My life in a nutshell.

[Hauk]

A bit late to the weekend beta-party but yea, just signed up and hopefully I get in today. Really interesting to see how this compares to Diablo.

[Zihark]

Signed up yesterday got a key today, excited for this. Really liked the first one and these kinds of games. Was unable to participate in recent POE stress test cause of school, but now I'm free.

Stoopit boss one-hitted me.

[desu]

Well since diablo 3 release the game has been totally dead. Not really surprised by the sudden release of tons of keys ...

Anyway I got an extra key: edit: apparently taken by someone....

Please say if you used it.

For anyone looking for a faster client download:

if anybody is still stuck on the download or having slow speeds heres mediafire links Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 just extract and open tl2.beta.launcher.exe

[SteveWD40]

Anyone got a key they fancy trading for a CS:GO beta invite? (I am in the UK if Runic have region locked it). Assume it's an on-going closed beta and not just a weekend thing?

PM me if so.

[epmode]

Wait, no respecs after level 10? Yuck.

[IblisGinjo]

Will any progress be saved for the full game or reset? Played a little bit, feels solid! I know this is a dirty, dirty question but you think they would implement a controller set-up for this. Somewhere down the line. I think it would work well. Basic twin stick shooter controls like Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

Ah, bummer. Thanks for letting me know.

[BlazingDarkness]

Played a couple hours of this just now, my first impressions are actually better than Diablo 3, I think the improvement from the first Torchlight is a big part of why

Hit level 12 on Elite mode, and found my first Unique drop

Everything runs super smoothly, and looks very nice (models are better than D3 IMO)

I'm not a big fan of limiting skills to just a selection of two, is there some sort of hotkey config so I can rotate between them easier?

The progression is also a billion times better than Torchlight 1, I was never a fan of the dungeon in the original

[DisenLedZep]

Ok, I played it yesterday for about two hours. Here's my quick impressions with it:

- It excels everything done in the previous game. And I mean this. The ambience. The gameplay. UI. The quests. Pet System. Items. Classes. Everything is just better done.

- Side Quest are really good now. You may be doing a main quest and encounter people with problems that need to be dealt with. Once, I had 5 quest at a time, and belive me, that's a good thing. I must check wheter if they are randomly generated or simply they put them "there" all the time. Also, choosing the reward from 3 different ones, is great.

- Classes are good. They are very different and offers distinct gameplay from each one. The skills are... ok. They feel bland, not as the first game bland, but I still feel that they lack something. An extra punch factor.

- The graphic an aestetic style are great. Movements are very fluid. Sometimes it feels like there's a drop in the fps, but that's expected from Beta release. I like how they introduce you to each zone you enter EVERYTIME, and the fact that tells you when you're leaving it. I encounter two boss fights, and the "introduction" for the fight was amazing and rewarding.

- The option to play LAN is great. SO great that it should be remarked.

- If I had to say something bad about this Beta is that it feels WAY unbalanced. I mean, I'm level 9... and already doing 150 Avg on my hits. Almost everything is a one click kill. I'm not too fond of this. But I really hoped they could check on this.

Glad to pre-order it. Glad to be playing it in July.

You can put up to 10 skills on the hotbar at the bottom. The two skills you can put on your right click aren't the only skills you can use at a time. Just click on a slot on the hotbar and you can set any skill you have.

[Dineren]

Figured I'd be too late since I didn't make my account until last night, but I'm in! Download speeds are pretty good right now too, can't wait to play I loved the first Torchlight.

[Sarcasm]

....so does STR stat affect my outlander guns/bows/ranged?

[VandalD]

....so does STR stat affect my outlander guns/bows/ranged?

Strength affects all physical weapon damage, so yes. It may also affect magical weapon damage, but I don't think so. They want every stat to be at least somewhat useful for every class. There's not meant to be a no-brainer stat, like endlessly pumping Dex on an Outlander.

Not a fan of the fishing mechanic. No sir I do not like it.

[DrBaalzamon]

I received a beta invite last night, however it seems the installer/downloader gets stuck at the applying patch state right before it finishes claiming it has 10.28mb left to download or patch not sure. Anyone else getting this kinda error? Thanks!

[Xane]

Buy dynamite then. They thought of everything.
Then, when you're fishing, click on the dynamite icon to blow that shit up, revealing fishes to collect.
