I'm loving this game, only real flaw I think atm is no co-op. But I don't mind really, paid a great price for a great game.

Man, I just cannot decide on a class to stick with. I always get like this with a new RPG, gah!

It doesn't work in my game. And like I mentioned earlier, the file actually reverts back to CONSOLE :0 once I quit the game so something is clearly wrong.
Every other edit that I make to the settings file saves fine and isn't reverted after quitting.
Torchlight just ate six hours of my life. I'm almost level 20 with my Destroyer. Great game so far, I'm loving the shared item chest and the ability to let your pet sell items. After being disappointed in the loot systems in Sacred 2 and Borderlands, it's nice to see a game nail it.
Anyone else having performance issues? I've got a fairly new computer (built it last year) and have tweaked the all the display options and still get random slowdowns. Seems to happen most when large groups of enemies dropping loot. Not a deal a breaker but I'd think it would run better on my system.

How similar is this to Mythos? Loved that little game.

Made by the same dudes. It's like Mythos. But better. In pretty much every way. I urge you to at least try the demo.BrodiemanTTR said:

Just played the demo, game wasn't even on my radar until 2 hours ago.
Incredible, will definitely be picking this gem up. Really wish there was some online co-op though.

Mimics and Cursed Swords are hardcore. Elementals are also hardcore.
Ember Lance is *boss*.

Guess who I stole it from.Shawsie64 said:
simply kickass. I'm level 15 and a melee character with sword and board. I have an army of imps, a golem and my dog who summons skeletons. I then beat on bosses with my electric gauntlet and a buff that gives me at the moment 40% dmg.Dresden said:
I might roll another Alch just to go into the caster tree. This like Mythos has 3 very distinct trees in each class and I love it.
I also really like how they did attribute points. Doesn't feel like I can really screw them up. I just keep a stockpile of them though for equipment requirements.

So unless I'm missing something, there's no way to see how many minions you have out?
As it is now it's really hard to know when things are going south as a summoner.

I'm so jealous that y'all are playing this! I can only hope the Mac version is released in the first quarter of 2010. Oh well, back to Borderlands I go...

Fun game. I'm level 10. What's the max level btw?
Sigh, I need to stop reading threads on games that seem interesting because then I wake up and I realize I've bought said game even though I have plenty new ones to play already. I'm only up to level 7 but I'm loving it so far. This is also a great game to put on my new laptop when I finally pick one to buy.
It certainly has the Diablo feel (Down to some sounds being almost identical) and it is quite fun to play, I like the pet companion. I didn't know that the dungeon was even randomly generated till I started over on a different difficulty setting!

He is AWESOME!! Dual wielding fire wands kicks ass.Dresden said:
Game came out today so its hard to say if there will be a big modding community.
Awesome btw that you can hold Shift + left click to use your regular attack without clicking a target.

Anyone else missing the share stash? I just cleared the library quest and ported back to town to empty my bags(currently lvl 13). When I went to the share stash that is the top of the town, it wasn't there. Am I missing something?

"Quick question, with the spells, how are those upgraded? Is there a way to add points, or do you pick up a new scroll that is simply a level higher?"
That is one way. There are also passive magic skills in each classes skill tree that adds a skill level onto each of the three types of magic. Offensive, Defensive, and Charm.

To me Very Hard feels pretty similar to going through Nightmare in D2 with mediocre (i.e all SP play) gear. It's easy to fuck up and die but still totally manageable. I also feel that a harder difficulty gives more incentive to really build my character "right" and not fuck around. Finding powerful items feels more rewarding since they really help out with the tougher enemies.mavs said:
It's nowhere near as rough as Hell in D2 if you're going through solo.
You either find a higher level scroll or drop points into spell skills in your tree (the Alchemist has a few skills that gives + to spell levels). There may be other ways but those are the ones I've seen.Instro said:

Really fun little game, payday is painfully far away, the demo really sunk its claws in to me.
This game is amazingly fun and ridiculously addictive. I've played for around 3 hours tonight even though I just got Borderlands yesterday. ><
The ONE thing that has been annoying me so far is trying to use the "map overlay" while the Alchemist's 'ember shield' skill is active. Because the shield has a bright, white effect right around your character, it makes it really hard to see exactly where you are, since where your character stands is essentially a blind spot in the map overlay. You can't turn off ember shield once activated either; it only comes off when you've sustained sufficient damage.
It's a minor complaint; perhaps if they gave the option to change the colour of the ember shield it'd make things easier to see.
Not sure about permanent change, but I just found a "big" fish that transforms him into a burrower for 3600 seconds, or one hour. That would last pretty much a whole play session. I'm a wuss though, and like keeping him as a cat.

Look earlier in the thread. Someone posted a console cheat, can't recall who.

There were permanent change fish in Fate, so I'd assume they came over to Torchlight as well. You won't see any until the later parts of the game, if I had to guess.

Is the music guy the same guy from Diablo ?
