I played it about 2 iterations ago. I did not go very far into it, just because of all the whipes. I am looking forward to playing the finally released game though, so pretty excited for the week before the 13th (6th) to start playing again, knowing my progress will not get whiped.

I paid the R225 - For me that isnt to bad - and its Torchlight even if it sucks I am a sucker and will support them

I also haven’t played since the initial public beta / early access.
However, there are probably two major things that are still a concern as it was part of the core of the game:
- Torchlight III’s interface looks like a mobile game. For an ARPG die-hard it is immediately off-putting and is a bad omen of what kind of game to expect.
- Character customisation was pretty shallow compared to the many other ARPGs currently in development.

We started this last night just to check it out. I don’t get the hate, I am enjoying this so much already!

It is a lot of fun. I think most of the hate comes from the look and the simplicity compared to TL2. Will have to see how it plays out.
I sure enjoyed what I did play. I was trying to make a pet based class and it is possible.
I need to decide if I am going to play an online or offline game. I am leaning towards online since it will not be very long until someone works out a third party trading system. That always cuts down the grind for specific items a lot.
There is no definite word on modding but I am hoping that they allow it the full modding treatment that TL had.

I think a few things do need clarification - I had to google how to put items in pets inventory, I still need to google builds. I love the Dark Mage so far - aka level 6. The look is so pretty dammit - it feels smoother and the multiplayer is so much better than TL2. The only thing thusfar I want fixed is shared quest hand ins and doing - its not all shared at all.

Played a bit. They have toned down the difficulty a bit, it is pretty easy now. Not sure if I am just imagining things but the graphics are a little sharper.
Playing a railmaster, wow but this is a NOISY class. Different though.
Finally planning the decorations on my fort, didn’t bother before since it would have been whiped.

I have a question with regards to the fort - can I sell the crap I dont want? Or break it down to its building blocks.
We started again last night as well, got to level 6 - playing on hard because normal is waaaaaay to easy, hard is better, we just wanted to check it before maybe going higher leveled.
I agree on the graphics - they are def sharper. I also scored a pet from the one boss and now the mess of Wyv collecting all pets starts all over again - as long as I do not get to the mode of WoW where I sat up watching the auction house.

No idea about the fort, also going to change to hard. Normal is way too easy.

Getting a dusk mage to 10 along with my railmaster. I am hard pressed to choose between them. I might also get a pet based archer to 10 and then choose.
Or I wont choose at all and just play them side by side ;-P. I don’t want to get to end game anytime soon.
They play so different! I have no interest in playing The forged though.

Gave up on the duskmage, the class is SO weak, I spent 5 minutes fighting one boss while the railmaster and archer took less than half that.
