So, apparently it's gonna be out some time in September but there's still no release date, and the first one was pretty bad but apparently there's a whole lot MORE in this one even if it still looks like a shitty WoW rip off?

http://www.torchlight2game.com/news/2012/07/20/size-matters-travis-talks-about-scale/

I have, of course, already pre-purchased it on Steam because, you know, LOOT AND SHIT. A September release would be pretty dope but that would put it in direct competition with Borderlands 2 (Sep 18th) which I am holding out hope will fix a lot of the issues with the first one (shitty pc version, crap lewt).

Of course, D3 could make all of this moot by 1.0.4 being awesome and it actually coming out in between now and release. Not holding my breath or anything though, I mean I've put 300 hours or whatever into that game so I definitely think I got my monies worth out of it.

When playing the beta, I liked how the initial area allowed you to wander around a bit. I feel good and bad about TQ's and D3's more corridor-like zones. I do like the ability to get lost once in awhile.

Last I heard, they were improving the talent system and that the release had been delayed until some later time. So maybe September?

Are they planning on resetting the economy?

I could be over my loot fatigue by then, wouldn't mind stuffing around with Torchlight 2.

They're still saying "summer" which officially ends in late September, so that's what I'm hoping.

pilon- no econ reset but at some point they have to do ladder seasons... right? wonder how that would work with the fucking AH's tho

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2012, 03:46:00 AM »

In my opinion, while the first was kind of underwhelming the fact that it's only $20 makes it a no brainer.

You guys (pilon, akala, pd) should probably pm Treesong, looks like there's 2 spots left in the first one.

For anyone who doesn't get in on the first one, I will offer my administrative services FO FREE. Once we've got pack 1 sussed out, if you didn't get in I'll start keeping track of PACK 2 here in this thread. When we get 4 people, you bitches can either paypal someone else in the pack or me $15, they/I will purchase a 4 pack and gift out where appropriate. I'm a pretty trustworthy dude, and I want MOAR PEOPLES to lewt with so I'm not gonna rip you bitches off.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #21 on:** July 26, 2012, 05:27:52 PM »

Okay, I ordered a 4-pack. $15 each (plus PayPal garbage), so the three of you should:

1) Make sure raketemensch is added to your Steam Friends and that I know what your Steam name is.
2) PayPal $16 to my e-mail (PM'd).

PD's version of Torchlight will only drop items from THESE loot tables ... don't worry, the Supreme Court says they have to have identical item ranges. They didn't say anything about the drop rates, however.

I have like a MILLION copies of Torchlight 1 that everyone in this 4-pack already owns, so if you want a free Torchlight hit me up (raketemensch)

I wonder how itemization/drop rate/that sort of shit is gonna work in TL2. So important in these games. But, then again you can just use the mod tools to make whatever broken fucking thing you want so wheeeeeee!

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #43 on:** August 31, 2012, 11:21:41 PM »

They should look at whatever itemization/drop rate D3 has and NOT DO THAT SHIT. Seriously, double that shit or do whatever it takes to make a loot game that actually drops loot I can use.

D3's classes are way, way versatile. It says in Torchlight 2 you can pick whatever skills you want but the same is true for D3, and in fact, that's its appeal.

Maybe I'm skeptical because Torchlight 1 sucked?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #47 on:** September 18, 2012, 12:27:06 AM »

I still think, in the end, that D3 will end up being the better game; however it's obvious now that it really could have benefited from more time in the oven so to speak.

It is refreshing to hear a lot of positive impressions of T2 from people who have been playing advance copies this past weekend, however. I know it's petty, but I still don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to appreciate the game to the fullest because of the atrocious graphical style.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #51 on:** September 18, 2012, 01:28:20 AM »

I'm pretty sure that you can focus on the non-tanky Engineer skill tree to achieve that... I can't find the link, but the Engineer has 3 skill trees, one of which is I'm pretty sure combat focused, one is tanky, and one is all about robot followers, so you can play the Engineer as either a brawler type, tank, or control/pets class I guess, or some combination thereof.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, I will be rolling an Embermage to start. I am nothing if not predictable.

Skill trees: http://www.reddit.com/r/Torchlight2/comments/zinvr/would_reddit_like_the_rest_of_the_talent_trees/

Looks like if you want to play a non-tanky Engineer you'd focus on the Blitz tree. After watching Force's video and checking out the Berserker skill trees, I agree that I'll never be playing one- the game is already embarrassing enough to look at, why make me play as a furry on top of that? smh runic

But D3's skills basically limit you to a handful of builds. The game is more gear dependent than skills or stats. It reminds me of WoW in the sense that the skill tree leads you to specific types of builds, and the game's design sort of demands a particular build; you can't turn your Barbarian into a battle mage or something, for instance.

TL2 looks pretty dope outside of the graphical style.
