I hope we can register for online play later this afternoon.
I was going for the minion build and even at a low level it was getting pretty micromanagement heavy which was a big turnoff. I am also terrible at judging range in these games.
hopefully you guys can as I need to get my wife registered still
also another update from the runic forums

How? Im still getting 404
You don't think TL2's loot is better?
It's vastly more interesting. Lots of bits and bobs to tweak your gameplay as opposed to just raw stats.
I especially like how each elemental damage type does a different thing. Electric sending out chain lightning, Ice doing -33% movement and attack, etc. It makes for emergent gameplay.
As I said before you just gotta keep trying and eventually you will get through....
aka the answer to your how question "Luck"

weird, I got a message saying that it was happening in the background and I should wait 5 - 10 minutes.
Always like it when devs are so open about issues and what they do to resolve them.
It takes a few minutes, it says.

I want to know who thought spontaneous and infintely respawning adds of an identical composition (kill a fire mage, get a fire mage) was a good idea. I was going along just fine on elite until the difficulty shot straight up in a vertical line because I can't physically hit the boss.
then you will like this as well
We did our best, stuff blew up in our face, and now we'll do our best to make it as right as we can
That's all we can do!

Runic are a bunch of champs.
my thoughts are if this doesn't, then just give it a few months and come back as if you are unhappy, moders will likely be unhappy and work to fix it
Though from what I have played I don't think you will be unhappy if you liked D2 for the whole loot hunting aspect
That is not what I meant at all, I was specifically talking about randomization, meaning that the place actually looks and feels layered in a different way every time you play the game again.
D3's world is merely big open hubs with the only randomized elements being the place where events take place or where dungeons are placed in that big open area.
One can just walk through the first steps of the area and spot the first landmarks and basically have an idea of where everything is, it just kills the very purpose of having some things randomized.
It helps a lot with the replayability.
T2 has his landmarks (mostly being quest related places) but (if you don't use the map since they are marked on it) you usually only know you are close to them when you stumble upon them, what is around is more intricate and has way more variety than what D3 offers.
yeah i know but after 15 min i still have it open in my browser and i don´t see any changes!
I can agree with this.. D3 isn't nearly random enough... I can run through most of the acts and side from a select few parts I always know where to go... which makes the 30th time doing it tedious. I don't remember that in D2, and I didn't experience that with TL2 in the beta
also for anyone still having issues linking
aka it's hit or miss right now, in a bit it will hopefully be fixed
The archers were particularly fun. I won the fight by glitching them against the top of the skeleton fountain thing and kiting the boss along a small section of the fighting area while spamming the potion button. Not really how I wanted to do it but that's how it's gotta be I guess.Dont forget the 3 archers with them

I just managed to link my steam account!
When I was eight and I started playing Diablo online that profile was a really big deal.

Did you try Torchlight on 360? Imho they nailed the controls so much that I actually prefer them over m+kb

Ok so I'm really disliking this game now.
Got up to Level 9 on Outlander.
The controls suck. There is a definite input lag, and the characters seem to get stuck into animations. Click-and-move and click-and-attack seem to not differentiate between small distances from enemies/background.
Its annoying as fuck.
Oh and I'm still running out of mana using the most shitty and basic attack (Rapid Fire/Level 1). What the hell else am I supposed to use? I feel like the stupid charge mechanic is to blame. The bar fills up, attack speed goes up, I run out of mana and then twiddle my thumbs.
Very disappointed so far.

Wait, what.
I wasn't able to play Diablo 3 for a couple of hours, not even SP. I'm playing Torchlight 2.
I had massive lag spikes on D3 because "always online" while their servers were still shit.
I lost a couple of Hardcore chars because the servers would suddenly die out of nowhere (and I was playing SP…
.I don't even know how you can compare all of that with having to wait a couple of hours until you can play TL2 with your friends.
Maybe you're running at a low FPS rate? There's no input lag for me.
Yes, the characters "get stuck" in animations, but that's just the way they designed the game.
About running out of mana, I don't understand what you mean. Did you want to be using Rapid Fire alone? That's not how it works.

Other bullshit I'm annoyed with:
'conveys x of y'.. wtf? can't they use standard/simple language? conveys to who?
The xp bar at the bottom being divided in 6 sections. wtf? Why 6? Why not make a graphical representation harder to understand by making it 17 equally divided sections..?
sigh.

Are you sure it's input lag and not the beginning of the animation? I sense no lag.
Shift is your friend.
That is your most basic special attack. Your most basic attack is "shoot" which requires no mana and happens when you left click on an enemy or hold shift+left click.
If by input lag you mean activating another skill wile you're mashing your left click button and your character keeps attacking and your skill not activating it's not really input lag, some skills will activate, others need an actual small time where you need to stop clicking to activate.
Once you know it it's not really a problem, but this is what I was referring to when I said they could have done a little bit more work on controls.
You're using your basic attack on left click and rapid fire on right click right ?

Next up : Nothing looks like its made from Valve = Dissapointment
you go 1H/shield for weapon 2 and big angry attack with weapon 1 as you can toggle between the weapons with the press of W
or you could go two big angry attacks if you feel like it

Guess I could go 2h weapon / cannon...always forget that you can have 2 weapon sets.
As do I.... I already sold my good shield on my outlander... oh well I will find another one soon enough lol.
i haven't played enough to really form an opinion but I do know that while dual wielding there are times when you will fire both weapons at once, which i believe is the main plus to dual wielding
