cool :)

Not had any problems myself.
Will have to set some time aside to download patch I guess, pretty massive for a patch :(

It's the entire game. As far as I know one of the main reasons they had to re-build the game was because of the loading issues, however there were loads of other fixes as well.

There is no patch, you basically have to re-download the entire game. In most cases you also have to re-activate (explained below), however you can send them an email to increase your activation limit back to what it should be - I did earlier and they've given me 10 activations back :)

Decided to restart, "Normal" mode was just ridiculously easy - basically just one shot everything except bosses which took about 5 - 10 shots (850 DPS bow). I would highly recommend "Very Hard" for people that are typically good at these games or just want a challenge - the level 1 rats right at the start even took about 4 - 5 shots to take them down, and one of those regular trolls that was level 2 took about 25-30 shots to take it down :) it's just much more challenging and ultimately, fun.

I'd certainly agree with that statement. There have been a few threads on the Runic forums about what the difficulties mean to different people. So 'Normal' was (I believe) intended as a standard difficulty for someone who had never played that type of game before.
 
just got this game. I hope my underclocked 3870 can handle it at 2048x1152 :/

Ok, after a nasty start for an alchemist (on hardest setting) and the patch removed all the scroll stealing (was only low level at that point, I've got to level 28.

Well I've got rank 9 lightning and currently that hits for 397-1622 for each mob it leaps to, also have ember strike at R2 giving 721-1154 per hit (146 magic attrib). Consider these are spammable backed up by a advanced spell casting 5 which gives a mana regen of +6.

I use skellies, zombies, both golems.

I still have crap armour and can be one-shotted but most stuff doesn't reach me :D So it's a sort of D2 necro backed up with blasting power. My play style is to have a mass of minions, then obliterate the place with lightning or fire.

Found one piece of alchemist armour that has 8 pieces to the set ("Trance" something).

I'm playing on an E6600 and X1950 and it runs just fine, tiny bit of slowdown when a huge spell gibs 50 enemies but you should be fine.

Running an X2 4400 not overclocked, 2GB of DDR and an X1950XTX. Very smooth apart from the very off occasion everything goes mental with the number of mobs.
 
Found a post on the Runic Forums which gives instructions on how to change the difficult mid-game without having to restart. Just wanted to mention it since a few people were saying it's kind of easy. I actually re-rolled my character as I didn't know this was possible to do.

No need to restart. Just go back to town. Exit game.

If in Vista, maybe XP, open Run Command in Start Menu, enter %appdata%, look down the tree to runic, go into that, then into torchlight. You should now see the settings.txt file. Open that with Notepad, use the find command to locate the line Console :0 and change that to Console :1, save, and you have turned on the Console.

Start Torchlight. Press Shift ~ to open the console. Type help to see all the stuff.

At console prompt, enter SETDIFFICULTY #, where the # stand for 0 - 4.

SETDIFFICULTY 4 is Very Hard
SETDIFFICULTY 0 is Easy and 1 is Normal and 3 is Hard.

This will not label you as a cheater. But be careful of the other console options, because some of them will label you a cheater.

Ok, got to level 31 with the Alchemist and he's doing over 2K for chain lightning. Only taken 34 hours of play time on very hard but I've still not finished. I have to move a centimetre at a time to stop agroing too many mobs.

On easy my destroyer has just got to level 16. It's stupidly easy one move and the entire screen of mobs dies with 3 hours played.
 
With the sweeping strike? just run in circles while things gather up then sweep them all at once?

Heh. Might crack out the alchemist again.
 
I can't get the console to open, despite making the necessary changes to my settings.

Which is a real pain as I am really enjoying the game, I just think I'd enjoy it more if I wasn't two-shotting the boss mobs :(



edit: Unless, of course, using a UK keyboard it seems to prefer the use of shift-' rather than shift-` to open the console :D

Absolutely loving this game, fired it up last night and before I realised it it was 11pm.

Can't wait to get back into it tonight. Is the latest version 1.1?
