TL2 supports steam workshop? When did this happen?
Joined the group also. I need to check out the skill trees to see if there is a potential necromancer build.
that was announced months ago
from reading around the Runic forums it sounds like they plan to do a decent amount of of mod support themselves. For example one of the guys talked about adding a cursed weapons mod... not sure how it would work but it was an idea the guy pushed hard to get into the actual game but since the majority didn't want it he is hoping to at least push it out as a mod.
I am hoping that with the steamworks support we get alot of mod support. I know the original game got some new classes via mods, I wouldn't mind getting a bunch of new classes with mods this time. Depending on how easy the mod tools are to use I might attempt to make some mods. If the tools are there I might work on a Sweeny Todd Quest
(I thought about trying to do like a Master Sword quest with the reward being a unique item called the master sword of the mod tools allowed but i figured someone else would pump one of those out much faster than I could so I moved to Sweeny Todd as my wife would love that and I doubt anyone else will do that lol)
that is of course only if the mod tools they launch will support custom quests
Either way next weekend should be fun. It will be nice to actually play a loot game this year for fun. i have a number of hours logged into D3 but I mostly consider those work hours as I was just farming to get items to sell for real money.
Is this really the case?? How do they prevent character hacks/editing with this kind of system then?
I'm not talking about account hacks, I mean like players editing their characters to make them super powerful or hacked items, etc... as far as I understand, any offline game is prone to that?
With the mod support I imagine it won't even be a case of you need to hack or edit you will be able to openly mod them. If you don't want to play with people who have modded/hacked characters then just get a group of friends who don't do that that you play with. With a game like this really if 90% of the community hacks their character it's not a big deal, as if you don't like it then don't play with them. I will just be playing with my friends which is how I go about playing most games online as I usually don't have good luck with random allies lol.
Gah can't wait for this. So glad it got steam workshop support! Going Engineer, enjoyed the hell out of mine during the beta.
Healbot for the win. I am likely going to start with an engineer as well though I am curious with gear and what not if by the end of game something like the healbot will be as awesome... but in the beta the healbot made the engineer a beast lol.
