    Finding Act3 on Veteran a bit of a pain. My lvl40 outlander has suddenly become super squishy.

    there are loads of easter eggs in this game. Did anyone suss the one where you get the enchanter in act1?
    There's a bottle of lotion, and a basket..

    then another random dungeon which has One-Eyed-Willy from the goonies
    :D

    edit: Canis Lupus - same happened my embermage at around the same level, i had to stack loads of points into vitality and regem some armour to have +physical damage reduction

    Be a man and go max out your damage but die in 1 hit if they hit you! :D

    You actually need some focus to buff the damage of your skills, like i just glaive through everything and use my normal attack to mana/life steal back and glaive again. I am lvl58 now with 2800hp, 200+ str/dex, 100focus/vit, beat the game when i was around 50+.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    have you tried game+ yet? am just after clearing act 1 and dinged 65, it's pretty rough on certain packs, but the loot and gems are awesome!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    not yet, wanted to get the diamond sword but the damn dungeon wont show up lol had a blast earlier playing with randomers, the screen literally exploded by 6 of us lol the 'endgame' is awesomer than i thought!

    the loots are crazy good from the map portal haha

    Yeah I use the glaive and am putting points in it but it seems.... boring to just spam it :) In fairness I wasted about 5 skill points which would have been better spent in Stone pact etc... I'll wait to see if a respec mod shows up so I can redo them.

    I enjoy the mapworks very much :D

    The huge point of playing a diablo-like game is to feel your OPness! And then there is always an epic boss in the end will kill you many times before you killed him xD

    Somehow i got myself a respec potion may be i'll do a respec soon^^

    Got a chance to put in a few hours tonight. Only level 30 but taking my time with it exploring every area in full.

    Funny thing. I was in the level 30 area in Act2 just farming XP to hit 30 before I logged and found my damage was finally not cutting it. I had been hoarding the majority of my gold so said I'd try the gamble merchant for a laugh.

    First item I bought was a 2 handed mace and it turned into a legendary. :eek: So I then tried my luck again on a greatsword and it also turned into a legendary!!! :p

    I assume this is not normal ha. Anyone else find anything similar?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    rofl are you kidding me!!!! so lucky you!!! xD legendary in TL2 is extremely rare but they are really good, are those around lvl30 gears?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    i've a shedload of uniques and set pieces, but not seen a legendary yet
    I even got that uber rare scroll to summon "boon" the vendor and he didnt have any when i used the scroll.

    ye sure it's not uniques you're getting from the gambler?

    Whoops it was two uniques apologies, being the colourblind fool that I am I thought they were legendaries!! :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    i did too in the original, the colour scheme in the game is almost identical to wow :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    ha ya i was thinking gambler is impossible to get legendary iirc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox


    Man I've been playing co-op Borderlands the last few nights and it's too much fun but every night I'm secretly hoping my mate doesn't come on so I can get in a few hours of Torchlight goodness!! :pac:

    I don't think there's been two games as good out at the same time in years. Good times!! ;)

    How are people finding this compared to diablo 3? Is it going to have much lasting appeal? Does it increase in difficulty like D3 or does it go by a different system

    thats the great thing about the steam community you never can tell but its getting full mod support on the 24th/10 as far as i know, ive only played the d3 trial upto level 10 but t2 is just so much more fun i even stopped playing guild wars 2 for it lol

    I've played a hell of alot of Diablo3 and will play more once the Infernal Machine patch comes out but to be honest it's more because of my loyalty to the series rather than the game itself.

    Torchlight2 is the game D3 should have been. Better loot system, better skill handling /skill trees (D2 style), better handling of the games difficulty, better bosses etc.

    One thing it doesn't have is D3's budget and scope but at the end of the day in an ARPG, gameplay, character customisation and the loot system is what is really important and Torchlight does it all better than D3. And the most important thing, it doesn't have the utter utter garbage AH.

    Having said that in my opinion the king still is Diablo2 but Torchlight3 comes very close!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    I downloaded the demo from steam last night, really wish I hadn't...... It's bloody brilliant but I don't have the time or the money for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    ok i got this :pac:
    Hsjk9l.jpg

    What i heard is that the vendor will sell different gears to different characters who opened it, and the uniques are expensive, expect 40k+ per piece if you are above lvl50.

    What I am going to do is i will post here when i opened the portal so please save up your gold from now on :P
    I am in NG+ and I will probably afk my char for a few hours (the vendor won't go away if i keep the sell window opens) so people can join the game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭danthefan


    Is there any particularly decent way to make money in this game?

    You'll love Path of Exile then when it gets released. I've been in a beta for ages and I have never seen such in-depth character customisation, an innovative leveling system and such varied loot. Also, it doesn't even have any gold for anything like an AH...it's a pure barter system that actually works quite well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    Guys i opened my unique vendor scroll!

    Search for 'Boon' (game name is Boon Vendor for awhile) you should be able to find it (or sort lvl in Veteran difficulty find me at lvl85) , pw is tltl2. I opened the scroll in a lvl105 map, i did not click on him so he wouldn't disappear. This is NG+ btw. Happy shopping guys!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    I got one of those scrolls also. Level 40 something I think. I'm waiting until I have a lot more gold before summoning him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    sorry to be bringing up an old thread but i was just wondering is there a way to compare items on the ground to the items i have equipped like you can in Diablo 3? iv looked a bit online but cant really get a definitive answer.thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    Not sure if you hold alt or shift while mousing over the item or if that's for diablo

    Haven't played in a while, think i might give it another whirl :)

    While im currently enjoying Path OF Exile this mod for T2 looks amazing.

    That does look good. Hopefully the offical Modding tools will get release soon and we can look forward to more great mods.


  • Registered Users Posts: 171 ✭✭civilnug


    Having burned out on XCom and Far Cry 3, I finally went back and finished my first play thru of TL2 on normal with a dual pistol outlander over the weekend.
    Re-rolled an Engineer with a big hammer for a second playthru on Veteran and I'm enjoying the game way more.

    I think I just prefer the up close melee play style.

    Looks great. Is it worth installing if you haven't reached L100 with any existing characters? (PoE has been taking up all my time!!)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,716 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Yeah definitely,im nowhere near high lvl and still seeing the benefits of it.
    3 new classes included aswell.
    Its a very small download too.
    Im hopping between T2,POE and D3 constantly,its amazing how different each game is.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,716 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Got to lvl 50 on my Engineer , speced as two handed DPS.
    Now that im 50 i can access most of what synergies mod is about and wow there is a lot.
    Started doing some Mapworks and a bit of NG+ , so much to do @ endgame in this game.
    Brilliant game and brilliant mod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Trying out the new classes with the Synergies mod, but the skill descriptions are a bit vague in some cases. E.G...I think "Death & Decay" heals you whenever a minion dies, but I'm not entirely sure. I did't notice the heal, but it does start off fairly small.
    Some other abilities seem very very underpowered, like the Ninja skill that shoots a Fireball.

    Overall though, it's a good mod and certainly makes the game a lot harder.

    Yeah i played the Paladin for a bit and found the skills ui a bit wonky but the classes are really work in progress.

    I created a Ninja with the intent of finally creating a melee character to reach L100. But after 10 mins, I found that the Ninja is actually an extremely powerful ranged caster. Level 50 now, and certainly my strongest character at that level....even beats a Prismastic Bolt Embermage for shear damage output.

    I've a level 40 Necromancer as well, but stopped playing as it's just too easy and boring. I just run around in circles whilst my army of minions kills everything, including bosses. And it's annoying that I can't see HP bars for my minions, or even distinguish most of them from actually enemy mobs.

    Just bought it. I know what other 2 boys have to offer, now I need to see what does Torchlight 2 has to offer! :D

    That mod Dcully linked interested me a lot. It has my favourite class of all times in any game - NECROMANCER! Will play with no mods first though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Well, it's great. I am only level 8 now, but damn game is great. The style and the "feel" is great. And did they directly imported music from Diablo 1 Tristram? Because it is like sex toy ears! :D

    Anyway. It looks like the mash up of Diablo 1 and 2. The scroll bit is quite interesting way of having spells.

    So got few questions now:
    How does difficulty and progression working here? I am playing on veteran fom start. Assuming you can choose difficulty before even playing, then progression goes different way?
    I made a character and gone online. Made a server with password and playing solo. Though I notice I can play single player with same character too. So you can play same character single player and online? Those are not separate?
    Classes are a bit weird... I love paladin/barb type of classes in my hacks and slashes, though all classes here are... Weird... I started a berserker. Is that the closest I can get to barb?


  • Registered Users Posts: 990 ✭✭✭_Puma_


    Just bought this last night and was hooked after 2 hours. Already a level 10 outlander and just killed that general Grell guy. What is the best way to spec my Outlander, current weapon favourite are the shotugun and dual pistols.

    Really has a Diablo 2 feel to it, spent a lot of time on that game! Cant really comment on Diablo 3 cause I never got it, but from commentaries online it seems this is the game Diablo 3 should have been. The mod support looks fantastic too!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,235 ✭✭✭returnNull


    got it in the steam sale.Great little game,especially after diablo 3 left a bad taste in mouth.

    Gonna give it a play through with out any mods before pricking about with it:D

    I was only playing vanilla but I found the game on veteran was uber easy till I think the third chapter when the difficulty really ramps up specially if you've spent unwisely in the char build.

    Regarding on/offline your char stays the same but if you jump on someone elses game when you revert back to offline you'll be playing their map (including it being undiscovered and all enemies respawned).

    Synergies is pretty good and I had another one installed that re-did the lighting which made it a lot more gloomy, but I'm jiggered if I can remember the name of it off the top of my head.
