Torchlight II

Much prefer TL1 to this.

TL1 had a better structure for single player enjoyment, TL2 feels too biased towards the multiplayer experience for my liking.

I'm playing TL2 solo but it doesn't feel as good to play as TL1, maybe if I actually knew some people with this game then I could play coop and maybe I'd prefer TL2 then.

As it stands, I couldn't reccomend TL2 to solo players.

You'll probably need Preview SweetFX 1.2 http://dropcanvas.com/l46x9

and these settings for 1.2

I'd agree with this, I've put in about 16 hours and am around level 45 but have had my fill already so a bit disappointed. I found that later on I just came to rely on spamming one skill as it was so much more powerful than anything else I had.

I've probably just about had my money's worth out of it but wouldn't rush to recommend it and I much prefer the skill system in D3 which isn't something I expected to be saying.

Maybe if I hadn't put in 100+ hours into D3 I'd be a bit more up for playing this longer but I don't expect to return to it.
 
Still loving this personally. Got equipment and Execute up to 77% chance now so I basically execute every attack and critical hit every other attack. Big damage! :p Never get anything good off the gambler though. :(

I got a decent Shield off of him, considering my level. Never get any decent weapons from him though. I have got quite a few good items for my pet through fishing.

I am taking it slowly, just playing when I feel like it. I have played a little bit practically every day since release and I am only level 29 atm(got sidetracked by Borderlands that I am playing co-op with a mate). As a beserker, I recently switched from sword/Shield(which I started as) to dual-wielding, but I was getting murdered occasionally and burning through potions, so since getting that decent shield I have gone back to it.

There's a trick with that. If its got a cross on it and its for your class then its very likely something good.
 
Have done this today and respecced my mage, if you do use this be sure to backup your torchlight 2 file from my doc's in case anything go's bad. Also remove any stuff you want to keep from the shared stash in game and store it on a character before you overwrite the file.
I know not being able to respec add's replay value, but in all honesty I don't think I would play 4 different characters to 100 and then play the same classes again to 100 only with a slightly different build.

I got this off of the steam news page for the game.
 
Been playing this for an hour or so now, up to Level 12. Couple of questions:

1) Is there any way to get a "world" map? All I seem to be able to get is either a top-right minimap, or a translucent overlay on my screen.

2) Are "outside" areas meant to respawn? I can understand that dungeons respawn, but why the outside areas? I'm thinking of Temple Steppes which is where I've just gone through.

Enjoying it though, good hack and slash fun with plenty of cartoon gibs!
 
Patch 1.12.X.7 Notes

This patch increments the save version, and we restructured some of the boss rooms, so random levels will clear and repopulate their monsters and events

FUNCTIONAL
*Shared stash now creates a backup of itself
*You can no longer 'steal' items from your buyback tab by closing the window with Spacebar

*Gambler does not show 'can't equip' X
*CTRL-M will instantly toggle map visibility
*Pet equipment cannot get sockets from enchantment
*Fixed rare crash related to Charming a monster
*Multiplayer logging is reduced, and can be disabled with the NEVERLOG commandline argument (may improve performance for some clients)
*Creating a player in a difficulty other than Normal, directly joining a game, and then exiting, won't revert your stored difficulty to Normal

*Fixed a few rare hardware related crashes
*Particle update optimizations
*Various rendering optimizations

GAMEPLAY
*Fixed an issue in multiplayer where non-killing MP players did not receive appropriate XP falloff due to level delta

*Zero walkspeed monsters won't attempt to jump down
*Fixed some display issues with Fame level progress
*Wandering (non-town-based) Enchanters have a slightly better range of enchantment strengths. They also now have an approximately 20% chance to get a 'powerful enchantment', which are about 50% better than normal. This is represented by a sound and text message in game
*Swamp Flier scream debuff will show an appropriate name on debuff icon
*Creep squish blood now has a censored version
*Fixed a few areas where loot from a specific event spawned publicly

*Skill cycle keys can now be bound to mouse buttons
*Transmuted items are no longer destroyed if an inventory is full with no place to accept them

SKILLS
*Berserkers are still targetable while performing Savage Rush
*Bramble walls and Ice Prison will properly die offscreen, and if the originator leaves the zone
*Battle Standard's properties are properly exclusive (they don't stack)
*Fixed charged versions of Fire Bash from levels 9-15 using the incorrect effects (weaker when charged!)
*Howl duration fixed (Extended)
*Berserker Wolf Shade master healing property was reduced from 5%+5% per rank to 5% + 2% per rank - and the first rank properly provides healing
*Vortex Hex won't target smashables
*Fixed two ranks of Seismic Slam incorrectly doing electrical damage
*Glaive Throw has had a damage nerf (25% reduction in max damage and decreased growth per rank ) with less additional bounces per tier
*Elemental attunement properly benefits from owners level
*Elemental Boon should properly speed up cast time on last rank
*Shadowbind should properly rank up duration
*Blast Cannons armor reduction effect no longer stacks and works for both fire and physical damage
*Fixed sped up hitframe for male shield skill anim so that it is never skipped when a subsequent skill is queued
*Outlander Long Range Mastery should now affect wands as well

SCRIPTING
*Fixed some issues with Grom's arena in multiplayer when another player speaks to the NPC while the main area is completed
*Several boss rooms have had structural changes to make it more difficult to cheese them with certain skills
*Various minor level scripting or layout repairs
*Fixed farmable Gel phasebeast room so that XP gain isn't overblown
*Fixed various other farmable phasebeast unitspawners which incorrectly granted XP
*Fixed a few areas where the player could get stuck

NETWORKING
*Fixed a case where backlog of messages for resend would escalate and disconnect the client
*Friends-only games are fixed to synch correctly across lobbies
*Fixes for various serverside issues
*Erroneous Connection Failed messages should be fixed
*Games can now be filtered near your level

GRAPHICAL
*Many wardrobe tweaks and fixes

BORING
*Various alterations were made to better support translated versions of the game, and to detect and deal with other language items during trading

Struggling on multiplayer games - I seem to get dumped to the desktop a lot. Single player is absolutely rock solid. Any ideas?
