There's a respec mod here: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2132
But it only respecs skills, not stats. Not sure if anyone's managed to mod that in yet or not. Also, if you check that thread someone posted another respec mod that's cheaper (apparently the original is 15k gold)

There is an official mod that adds a respec potion to the pots vendor in town. Runic felt it wasn't something they wanted in the main game and I see why having used it. My character is pretty min/maxed now because I used it after reaching a high enough level that I could use my points in any tier.scoobs said:

I think this might be the "merchant thief exploit" that they mention fixing in the patch notes, but I haven't tested it yet.ToxicAdam said:

I think, once you've learned the spell, it's likely to turn up at the vendor. I know that both the Identity and Town Portals hadn't appeared at the vendor, but as soon as they dropped randomly they were both available to buy after that. It's not 100% guaranteed, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to get it.tirminyl said:

Broke down and bought the game, this game is so fuck awesome. The diablo gameplay is nailed down perfectly, the music is spot on, and the loot.... THE LOOT :lol Absolutely love it.
Before knowing about the bad post-patch situation of the enchanter I had time to see my Unique Boots and my Unique Shoulder Armor wiped of all their bonuses, even if it isn't really the fault of the patch considering that both had 2% or 4% of probability of such a thing happening. Also my Unique Staff now has 8% probability of disenchanting without having gained basically anything from it and losing its bonuses would be a disaster 'cause half of my equipment depends on those so I don't know if I'll risk it even when the fix for the enchanting will arrive. In the meantime the 30th floor is kicking my ass.

Changing it to 5 makes the potion cost 3Javaman said:
But if you already played once with the mod installed, to make the change take effect you have to delete some files because when you modify an existing mod the game doesn't check it again.
In the official forums you can find the files to delete

And no, doing so doesn't label you a cheater, at least I didn't notice such a thing happening.

what are you waiting for
Ok, I can't seem to figure this out.
How exactly do you change the difficulty for a character you've already started? I know the ability was added in the last patch, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this?
Does anyone else have a better idea of this that I do?

Just started the game with an alchemist and it's awesome so far. I encountered the following situation and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I just haven't progressed far enough yet:
Edit: Okay, never mind. Things seemed to resolve themselves two levels down. Thanks anyway.
I got the "Aid Brink" quest, where Syl tells me to find and help Brink. I find Brink on level 2, kill all the stuff around him, then I talk to him and he says something like "You alright, Syl? You rest here, and I'll go on ahead." I clear the level and he says the same thing. Obviously I'm not Syl. Did something screw up, or do I have to wait to find him on a subsequent level?

Argh, I still need to load this up. Between Dragon Age, Demon's Soul, Borderlands, and this, I probably won't need another RPGish game until like next June.
1 bit of concern: Borderlands is basically a big ol sleeping pill in SP. I'm a bit concerned that the same might go for Torchlight. I only really put time into Mythos in MP. I did like Fate, though.

I'm enjoying playing this singleplayer much more than borderlands SP. I think a lot of that is due to to the simplistic nature of the game, and the platform I'm playing it on (ability to tab in and out of IMing, browsing, gaffing, etc.). Maybe I'd like borderlands better on PC? Who knows. I definitely was one of those people who played through diablo 1 and 2 in single player before going onto battlenet.
Its so easy to lose time to this game. I just lost 2 hours in pure dungeon crawling bliss.
Overall I just think its a more fun experience than Borderlands. Diablo nostalgia goes a long way and the additions they've added to the genre are very much appreciated. The soundtrack and art style alone should get ya to poke your head in for $20.

I finally took a Torchlight break to play some Borderlands and it's not even close. Both games have a lot in common, but the thing that makes Torchlight so good is that the gameplay is actually fun. Not to devolve into a whole bitch-session about how a shooter with shitty AI and NPC levels is neither a good shooter nor a good RPG, but suffice to say that the core of Torchlight is a really fun game.

I own both Torchlight and Borderlands on PC, and Torchlight has consumed me, while Borderlands I gave up on after about an hour. At its most fundamental core, Torchlight is just a more enjoyable, compelling game. They're both trying to achieve similar goals, but Torchlight is more immediate and responsive and well-designed to me.White Man said:
There's also the entire second dungeon, the Shadow Vault.scoobs said:
Can anyone confirm if the dual wielding skill and the martial weapon skill does not boost the damage of special attacks? It feels like both of those skills only boost regular attacks, but it's pretty hard to tell.
Since I never use regular attacks (at this point) I'm thinking of ditching those skills.

i gotta thank you chris remo, your torchlight-boosting on the podcast made me try it, and it really is the next best thing to diablo III i could imagine getting. it's just so beautifully crafted and it FEELS perfect.
(i tried titan quest, but really wasn't interested in playing after a bit, torchlight on the other hand is starting to make me wish i had tomorrow off...)

Wow even Valve is hooked on Torchlight. I got done playing Dragon Age and this was in their update section that pops up:
Thanks Runic, you guys just delayed Episode 3 another year. :lol I really need to pick this game up.
Valve's latest obsession: Torchlight - a really solid action RPG with a strong heritage. Because the game is single-player, here at Valve we have to do our trash-talking offline. The hallways have been full of exaggerated claims about buffed-out Torchlight player-characters, so we decided to collect screenshots and see whether any of that boasting was justified.
Here are a dozen of them - you be the judge:

This reminded me how awesome it would be to take the trash-talk online and have tracked character profiles on torchlight.com... Probably only a matter of time!Mrbob said:
D'oh! Just determined that 4 greens transmute to dull gems, 4 blues to gems. In early levels, much better than selling crappy greens for 10 or 15gp. The type of gem depends on the combinations of armor and weapons of the 4. It's nice adding health recov and armor damage with socketing.
, I has no computer no more. All I can hope for is someone thinking of us lonely console users, that or winning the lottery *laughs*.Here's the interview I talked about last week.

Thanks given to GAF of course, for some of the questions.
Sadly, the wrapper's audio quality is a bit crappy thanks to my sickness, but the interview sounds just fine.

How many levels do the spells have? I'd love to have an advanced Haste spell, but I haven't seen anything higher than a Haste III on either of my two characters, while I've seen other spells go up to VI pretty regularly. Maybe Haste is just rarer than the others?
Only downside is that I'm making a lot more frequent trips to town, instead of just sending my crappy greens back with the dog.
Yeah, it seems to be the best way to get gems. I can't figure out which items correspond to which gems, though -- I've had greens give me cracked and dull, blues give me dull, and golds give me regular gems. It must have something to do with the player or item level, or maybe there's just a random element to it.troushers said:

Where did you buy it? The Steam version has been updated for sure, but I'm not sure about the others.bogg said:
How great would it be if VALVE just decided to invest some time into with TorchED when it gets released to add Multiplayer? Just so they can play MP in the office and as well released to the public.
Company A mods Company B's game. Fans go nuts.
This is a dream to dream. I like dreams.

Ah, so they do exist, good. I'm only 20-something on my current character, so I guess it's just a matter of progressing some more.No45 said:
You should be good then. The current version is 1.12, but they all say 1.11 anyway. I think the official site was the first to update.bogg said:
An easy check would be to see if there's a Vsync option in the settings menu -- only the patched version has that setting.
