Launcher downloading ! that's nice to see :o

[Adnor]

Hell yeah, downloading! :D

[fna84]

Weird, the launcher says complete but when I click on play, nothing happens and the launcher closes.

The servers are over-saturated, you will have to try again (or like fifteen times) to start downloading. Or just wait some time to try again.

[anaron]

97.00 MB remaining!

I happened to obtain another key and decided to do a giveaway based on those that were unsuccessful in the thread.

^^ It was done fairly.

and the winner is... FXP, check your PM for a key. If by chance you manage to get another key FXP, then please consider passing it onto a fellow GAF member.

[Ikuu]

Servers must be getting destroyed, can't download at all now.

[anaron]

Our web servers are experiencing heavy load and slow response times at the moment, so beta downloads may be rough. We're working on it!

Once we offload some of the beta/patch download traffic our forums and other web sites should become more responsive as well.

If you're having trouble downloading restart the launcher and set it to P2P mode.

I'm being gracious and using my business to seed all night (5.2 MB/S upload)

[Balehead]

Servers must be getting destroyed, can't download at all now.

Keep trying, it was failing on me as well but I got it to work via Options -> Verify. It's still a slow download though.

[Zefah]

Wow... so this is like really, really good. I vastly prefer the "feel" of it to that of Diablo III (which I'm still very excited about). I have a feeling this beta is going to eat a lot of my time.

[FieryBalrog]

downloading at a pretty decent clip now
just started though

[Dragonzord]

Of course they give away 900 keys while I'm asleep.

[Kuro Madoushi]

Damn Runic's eyes.

Got TL1 full price. Preordered TL2 full price. No beta invite...

Thanks man, I really appreciate this :) If I'll get extra key, it will be given to another lucky NeoGAF member.

[Dragonzord]

Seriously. Could have used some of those 900 for the first set of preorders rather than selling them to a site where any bot can snatch up hundreds of them and sell them on ebay.

[Baha]

If I get a key via email from signing up earlier, it's yours.

[anaron]

Who else is in now? Game is already addicting as EDIT: hell. lol

You're welcome, have fun!

I wish, I started downloading at 18:00 ish and still have 372MB to go. :[

[saelz8]

Finished downloading, but at the very end it said it says 'unable to download metafile'.

[FieryBalrog]

I finished the big DL and started on the patches and then I got "unable to DL metafile"!!!! Anyone else get this?

[TheExecutive]

Signed up and praying for some love!

[MiloFoxburr]

Anyone wanna play together? Level 6 Embermage playing on Veteran. Add me as a friend. My account name is MiloFoxburr.

-edit- FieryBalrog, close the Launcher and just run Torchlight2.exe in your install folder. Worked for me.

[SnakeswithLasers]

Signed up and praying for some love!

Same here. I still haven't ordered D3, so getting into the TL2 beta might delay that even more. Really enjoyed the first (and I weep for poor Mythos).

[Lain]

Wish I saw the MMORPG thing earlier. Signed up at Runic, hoping for some luck.

[reggieandTFE]

For people having trouble with the launcher, mine seemed to get hung up with the progress bar about halfway filled. I closed it, restarted it and the game was ready to play 2 minutes later.

[yoshizzle]

Thanks, signed up. Hoping to get in like the rest ;)

[bengraven]

Ugh, been registered for years, own both games, no invite. Bastards.

[Mihku]

Not a fan of the user interface. It's been too long since I played the original, but I can't remember it was this messy. Way too many buttons and icons plastered all over the screen.

Graphical style is nice, but I can't see a thing when the heat is on. I just spam stuff with my embermage hoping to hit something. It looks like everything just blends together in combat.

[Ikuu]

Can't believe it's taken 4 hours to download 700MB and now their site is dead, all because of a 1000 keys?

[saelz8]

Game is sex, as expected.

[FieryBalrog]

Fantastic game so far. My main annoyance, which I can't really hold against them, is ye olde school D2 skill point system complete with too many passives. After playing D3 it's just a step backwards, and it seems to me the main reason people like it is just that they're comfortable and familiar with it. Anyway they're obviously not going to change this so this isn't very useful feedback.

Still, apart from that which is just a design choice, everything else is spot on. Graphics are crisp, spell effects are good, enemies are good, feedback on all your actions is amazing.

Some more useful feedback would be: 1) the hitbox on enemies could be a little larger 2) mana regeneration could be a bit higher for my low level Berserker, it's no fun running out of mana all the time.

[Carm]

Yea.. this is why they should have went with Steamworks and did the beta on Steam. Started downloading at roughly 1:30cst and the download says it will be done in an hour and a half.

[Moaradin]

NOOO I missed the giveaway =(

Anyone got an extra key? /sigh

[Jasoneyu]

If people are following IGN on facebook they are releasing keys on there. They posted a few but they might add more on the comments.

Just got back to the computer, download stopped at 1mb. Sonofa....

Managed to snag a key from IGN, glad I was following them on fb. Should pass time before D3.

[Houston3000]

That site is totally hammered right now

[Moaradin]

God damn.. Their dumb website was down the whole time so I couldn't get one from IGN.

[epmode]

I'd trade a Firefall invite for a Torchlight 2 key, if anyone's interested.

[Twinduct]

Man waiting for that key! Well I'm bored as hell :<
Anyone want a Path Of Exile key?

both keys gone

[spirity]

Just finished the first quest.

This is really good. If you've played TL1 you'll be right at home here. And it's far better imo. Runs smooth as silk, nice animations, the music is awesome. Not got many skills yet as a Berkerker, but going down the.. umm.. can't think of the name of the tree, but its the feral one. Turn into a big ass wolf and run through mobs with crit+ and also pick up 6% health. Lotta fun. Voice acting is ok, nothing special. I love the interface. Playing on 2nd hardest difficulty which feels about right.

Runic have really upped their game. Unless things take a noseive later tonight, this went from a "I'll get it when i can" to day 1.

[Jasoneyu]

After TL2, I am extremely interested on what they could do with a MMORPG given that they have such a solid gameplay base already. Can't wait to try TL2 online.

They could not make one. That would be the best option.

They only have 30 employees, an MMO would require them to get a publisher to fund it which I don't think they like.

Weren't they working with some chinese mmorpg publisher to get this going?

[Teknopathetic]

"Weren't they working with some chinese mmorpg publisher to get this going?"


IIRC, Perfect World more or less bought them out.

[Toma]

Does anyone know whether sharing the Beta access with a friend would be bannable or something? (IP Check or whatever)

[PaulLFC]

Gamespy is giving out more keys on Twitter at 4:45PM PST - I think that's in 45 minutes?

[Ceebs]

Yeah not liking the odds of me getting one of these.

At least the game is only a month or two away.
