Why? Weren't you enjoying it? It's really fun.Ogs said:So, i downloaded the demo seing as those tits at Valve cant get a demo release on time, and instantly thought FUCK YEAH, the music is Diablo awesome, gameplay just like it, this game pretty much is DiabloThen i found out, no multiplayer, the fuck ? Even worse, they say it could be upto 2 years away. As awesome as the game is, its something i would have to play co-op no matter what

Awesome game. Normal is a tad easy. But I don't want to start over. If it get to easy I'll just make it harder buy running around "naked" or something :lol
Anyways. Anyone knows where the save file is? I´m going to play this on both my laptop and my regular PC and want to move the save file between them.
Bought it over Steam if that matters. Does Steam Cloud transfer save files? and if it does, where do I get it?

Yes
Go to Start -> Run -> %appdata%
Open Runic Games -> Torchlight -> settings.txt
There are lots of things to tweak in here, including VSync.

"Game is fuck awesome. I'm on Hard and currently level 7 and I think it's a tad bit easy. The devs on the boards say it gets a lot harder once you are out of the crypts though."
It's true. There is a noticeable bump in difficulty once you get out of the crypts.
"What about Iron Lore and Ascaron?"
Neither.

seems pretty easy so farZeliard said:

Game is an absolute blast. I never played Diablo, though, and am basically brand new to this genre. A few questions: (i) should I ever buy gear from merchants or should I basically be able to find what I need? (ii) how frequently should I go back to town and 'bank' my gold and stuff I find that I don't have equipped? (iii) should I have some kind of strategy when leveling up? Im' blindly using skill points willy-nilly right now.

finding some pretty nice unique stuff now
So, I downloaded the demo from one of their partners (WildTangent), installed it (and the crap client of one of those partners), started the demo.... which closed itself and I was greeted by said partner client telling me to buy the game.
I wasn't amused.
I was hoping to play the demo since I wont be able to buy the game for at least another 5 days.
Guess I'll wait a couple of days for them to put up the demo on their website.

1) If you see something that is an obvious upgrade, go for it. You should always check the merchant just in case, because sometimes there will be decent stuff in there.
2) Whenever you run out of space, really. Or need to take a trip back to town for something else. Don't forget your pet has an inventory of its own and can go to town on its own and sell things for you.

There would appear to be a demo on steam.

I like the game a lot, and have already purchased. I was on the fence but the demo was quite convincing. I do wish you could rotate the camera but oh well. The art style works better in motion than screens, IMO, and I like it a lot now.
The game is very much Diablo, but this is not a bad thing. I've liked the other games in this genre as well, unlike some of the other posters, and only played D2 after some of the others, so that may impact my viewpoint. I think Torchlight clicks more with many people because it plays SO MUCH like Diablo that it feels "right". The other games do some things differently, and for me that's fine (even appreciated) but then again I don't hold the Diablo games up as the golden pinnacle of this genre and get annoyed when other games deviate from the exact methods it uses.

Click the little sack next to it's name. Just found an orange and purple item in the same chest, shame they both suck.
Check the vendors often I've found loads of awesome items from them, I'm finding stuff around 100DPS just now and I just bought a 300DPS 1h from a vendor.

You have tons of space for stuff in this game. You and your pet both have a mobile inventory, then you have a big stash in town, then you have yet another big stash in town that's shared between all your characters. I don't really think they need much more than that.DMPrince said:

Backlogged, but can't wait to play when I can. Unless I break free, maybe there'll be a few patches and such by then. Editor isn't due to come out until like Friday or Mondayish...so there's time!

Diablo 2.5 indeed, the game + mods SHOULD tide us over till diablo 3, good stuff, and man im gonna miss not hearing uelmen's score with diablo 3, just an hour of torchlight had me feeling like i was back in christmas 1996 all over again.

Yep, same here. It's amazing just how much a great soundtrack can add to a game. They're rare these days.

Bought!
I think I'll start on Very Hard, hopefully I'll die many gruesome deaths.
Looking forward to it!

Very Hard is a viable option too, maybe.Max said:
Wow, I wonder how long the demo goes. Feels pretty long, I'm on floor 3 right now. Combat is very, very awesome. Everything has impact. So good. And yeah, started out on normal but once I have money to buy the game I'll restart on hard.
Oh, and the graphics are really nicely done and run smooth as butter. Going from the logfile 138 fps
And yeah, demo is up on Steam, grab it and play it. I'm certain you'll love it.

I got to the third floor in the demo and immediately stopped. It was enough to know that I like the game, now I'm just not sure if I want to spend 20$ on it right now when there's so much more I want to play. I'll either wait to see how the mods look and, if compelling enough buy it then, or wait until my backlog clears up.
As for why I stopped? I don't want to get pissed off if I end up having to start over after buying the full version if I find some great loot :lol
