is anyone else having trouble getting their additional keys from a 4-pack purchase on Steam?
Berserker is definitely still a potion sink, at least at the beginning. Think I'm going to try a different class.
Yeah, that was one of the first mods for TL1. I'm sure it won't be long here, either.
Yes, several people have posted the same issue. Restarting Steam seems to fix it.
Is there any news on when the TorchED 2 will be released?
First thing I'm going to do is work the fonts; at the moment you've got a mix of annoyingly cartoony font and a boring one not to mentionen the size could be reduced a bit. Hopefully we'll get a bit access to the other parts as well this time, the UI modding was a bit limited in TL1.
Also, I wish there was a way to mute sound when the game is in the background.

Same here, and I normally spend them immediately in ARPGs. Then I hit a load screen, and at the top it showed how many unspent stat and skill points I had. Nice touch Runic.

Haha same. I'm usually to heated in combat to spend time upgrading.
Looking at this screenshot makes me happy specifically because there isn't a giant DPS number.First Unique!Good imho. I am an engineer!

I only tried the Berzerker and Engineer but I felt a better affinity for the the Engy.
Played it for a bit (good stuff), but when I closed it Steam still says I'm playing it. What gives? I can't find a related executable in the list of processes. And now I can't run it again. Says 'this game is currently unavailable (application running).
edit: Haha, now it says 'Please close Torchlight 2 before exiting Steam'

4-pack isn't showing up for me as well...
Yeah I was kind of leaning towards trying the Engineer out. Berserker and Outlander seem pretty cool too. I'm kind of burned out on spellcasting because Wizard was my last D3 character.
I quoted you before so are you still looking for the 4th? If so I am interested in purchasing with you guys but as of the moment i am in Steam Mobile.

Finally got registered. Can't register game online. Lame!
Found this on my engineer too.
I've found 2 unique items so far.
When I saw that unspent skill/stat thing it made me happy. It's so easy to forget that you just leveled up, especially with the speed at which you level in TL. Also made me think of a friend who hordes skillpoints for levels until he's ready to spend them. I wonder if he'd be annoyed by the reminder.

Apologies, we've already purchased.
At this moment, however, there are issues with the 4-pack.
He restarted like 3 times already.
I can't see mine either.

I'm only level 6 and I've already got two uniques.
Meh. I don't know what the spell does. Would probably be better at a higher level.
Bitchin staff. Good thing I'm an Embermage. I accidentally socketed it, so I'll remove that and put in the rare health stealing one I found.

You can choose any difficulty from the start. Im sure if you beat the game, new game plus will still be on the same difficulty but monsters scale more. You could play online with your character in a private lobby with any difficulty you want
Havent check the lobby system yet
I notice steam popups for achievements every now and then

This game is awesome. Does anyone want to start a hardcore character with me later? Right now I'm experimenting with the Bezerker on Veteran/Hardcore but I'd like to make an Engineer later.

I see that some of you are getting uniques early on...
Was the first game known to be generous in uniques and legendary drops?

No lobby system from what I can tell. It's just a server list with filters.
Achievements are Steam only.

Demo is on the Torchlight 2 homepage. I know I'm probably part of the problem but I hope there will be "c-word" support.

I like controllers too, at times. But how well do you think a controller would work with a clickety-click game?
No worries I guess i'll spend 20 bucks.

The XBLA version controlled surprisingly good.

Hmm, ok then. I wouldn't have thought that to be the case. I didn't know the first game was on XBLA.

So, I bought a 4-pack and only got my game. No TL2 gifts in my Inventory. What do?

restart steam a couple of times.
Restart Steam. This is happening to a bunch of people who purchased the 4 pack.

Sounds like a few people are having the same problems. Usually restarting Steam sorts it out.

i guess with the steam connection dropping. you probably won't see much popping up until they get the servers fixed.
