Are they giving away "gift" invites to current beta participants? If so, is it okay to trade for them on GAF? I've got a DOTA2 invite that I'm not using. I thought I had one for CS:GO, but it's not showing up in my Steam gifts.

epmode · 11:47 PM

And since we're reposting stuff, I'd like to trade my Firefall invite for a Torchlight beta key!

edit: Those Gamespy keys were gone within 5 seconds. Oh well.

Kod1ak · (05-11-2012, 11:49 PM)

the runic games account page is down now. lol.

I Ctrl-Ced a key and put it in within seconds and I'm getting a webpage not available error on their account site.

evlcookie · (05-11-2012, 11:49 PM)

Yea that didn't go so well haha.

Moaradin · (05-11-2012, 11:49 PM)

FU Gamespy.

I'm so mad that I missed the MMORPG giveaway.

The Grim Heaper · (05-11-2012, 11:49 PM)

Plugged mine in within 7 seconds and it didn't work. Oh well, I guess fate's not on my side! :P

PaulLFC · (05-11-2012, 11:51 PM)

Was constantly refreshing until the keys appeared, put one in straight away and it was taken. Obviously after that all the others were taken too. Great :|

Twinduct · (05-11-2012, 11:51 PM)

LOL I got the second key at the gamespy one =)

The MMO has officially been canned. They're planning on support TL2 for the next few months:

Mod Tools (expect them 2-3 weeks post-release)
Mac Release

Considering:
Linux Release
Steam workshop integration

PaulLFC · (05-11-2012, 11:59 PM)

Are they planning on giving people who've preordered on Steam beta access? Seems strange if they're not considering all the free keys they're giving out today.

Yes I have preordered on Steam :(

Yes I have preordered on Steam :(

They said on the Runic forum they want to keep the beta small and Valve would only agree if every pre-order got a key. : (

Damn :( I registered on Runic's account site anyway, so hopefully I'll get a key eventually.

The Path of Exile and Secret World betas will have to do for now.

bengraven · (05-12-2012, 12:17 AM)

So about 15 minutes and GS is giving away the keys?

moop1167 · (05-12-2012, 12:32 AM)

WTF I click it the second it comes up and paste and I still can't get one. Is someone's internet that much faster than mine?

Kalnos · (05-12-2012, 12:32 AM)

how can someone be this quick? dear lord

Maddog · (05-12-2012, 12:32 AM)

Same here. Literally maybe 3-4 seconds tops to copy and paste it over and it's taken. Grrr.

DyslexicAlucard · (05-12-2012, 12:32 AM)

This is an outstandingly poor way to give out "beta" codes.

bengraven · (05-12-2012, 12:33 AM)

Awesome crashing the site.

Try .005 seconds. I tried all 5 of those codes within 9 seconds.

I don't get how 900 beta keys to one site is 'small'

PaulLFC · (05-12-2012, 12:33 AM)

Didn't get one. Not surprised considering it was just 4 codes for 35,000 followers.Hopefully Gamespot or some other site will do a key giveaway with a decent number of keys.

bengraven · (05-12-2012, 12:34 AM)

Bullshit.

Seriously bullshit.

Valru · (05-12-2012, 12:35 AM)

Few minutes in and my tabby cat can shoot fireballs, yup this is why I love Torchlight.

Peasant Princess-King · (05-12-2012, 12:37 AM)

Just not quick enough :(

Vee_One · (05-12-2012, 12:47 AM)

Missed out as well. Site crashed when I entered
Oh well.

Between this & D3 I will be set

Haeleos · (05-12-2012, 12:49 AM)

I refreshed twitter for 15 mins and predictably didn't get one...

... looked in my junk mail and there's a key sitting in there, 3 days old.

*smh*

tw1164 · (05-12-2012, 12:53 AM)

Does the game seem more difficult then the first one?

First time playing a Torchlight game and I found it more difficult than the Diablo 3 beta.

Woo-Fu · 01:36 AM

I can't even get the installer to download. Giving out more keys than your server can handle is probably not going to generate the PR they wanted.

UPDATE: My ISP has no route to their download server. curious.

spirity · (05-12-2012, 01:29 AM)

Has anyone fought Mordrox? I'm wondering if I either suck or he's a boss I need to lvl up for (I'm 9 atm). I am getting seriously smashed, its not even close. My god.

Doesn't seem like it. Game needs some major balance adjustments though. Every thing was fine till I went into the first dungeon, random mobs were dying fine, then bam elite mob or whatever purple hp bar. They take forever to take down, kiting non stop. Boss in that dungeon same way. Adds lasted longer on him though. This was on the Elite difficulty. Basically it feels exactly like TL1 did on the hard difficulty, very uneven.

Really don't like the draw distance of mobs+darkening of edges of screen in the game, wonder if that can be changed somehow with a mod.

I fought him as level 9 or 10 and didn't have an issue. The next guy is a pain though (or was, until I missed Mordrox, haven't returned yet).

Just killed him, thank god for potions and the healing bot, the boss refused to die.
The game is amazing, so much fun, I'll have to pre-order it the moment I have some money :D

Depends on what difficulty you pick. It's pretty hard on Veteran.

foladar · (05-12-2012, 01:51 AM)

Any ideas how much content there is? Similar length to D3 beta? Seems longer so far, but no clue if it really is.

BrokenFiction · (05-12-2012, 01:58 AM)

Key Acquired!

Download Slow!

Hulk Happy!

From what I watched it was longer. Diablo 3 was only a little taste really.

Kientin · (05-12-2012, 02:29 AM)

Finished the game for the first time on elite earlier today. Was pretty challenging and fun all the way through. Played outlander and had 11 deaths. Moves that have -armor are pretty handy imo, most of my stuff was getting resisted until I placed my hex down especially earlier on.

foladar · (05-12-2012, 02:29 AM)

So far seems quite longer, level 14 already.

edit: Kientin how long was it approx? I think I'm nearing the end of the beta.

Kientin · (05-12-2012, 02:35 AM)

My stats are telling me I played that character for about 10 hours. An hour of that could have been me being afk. I hit the max level for the beta at level 21 but if I could have kept going I bet I could have landed at about level 23-25. Also this playthrough consisted of me trying to explore every nook and cranny I could find. It is a pretty meaty beta imo.
