Just bought the game and my engineer is comming along nicely. It feels like a mix of D2 and Titan Quest, with the best from both.

I never managed to get all the items to any set. Most was about 2 maybe 3. :roll:

I've completed the Clovenhoof set simply because they're usually quest rewards. :laugh:

I've never finished a big set, only smaller ones, and ones that are pretty commonly occuring.

Oh I forgot those "2/3-item" sets (almost always rings or amulets) like the Hunter set, whose set items have a wide range of levels.

Just wondering, what is "Map Works" in this game? Is this some sort of extention to the game and/or did I finish the game and now I am playing this Map Works extra thingy :confused:

Either way Map Works is difficult, just how I like it, so I will continue to build my Character. Currently I am level 55 closing onto 56.

Mapworks is just that, full of several maps that you buy and you try to clear.

i just got it for my b-day!, and yea like Frick said, i've never seen so many 'set' items before. I too am an engineer. my in-game name is Big-Huggins if anyone wants to play. i just started tonight. lvl 11 i believe.

One issue i have is i'm gaming on my laptop(desktop is long gone, saving for a new one) and for intel hd graphics its glitches like my laptop is on acid. there's a fix in the works but its still a bummer. i also ran into what i believe is a bug with my spells for right mouse click. i could summon my engineer's healer bot, but could cast any dmg spells. Anyone else have that issue with engi?

I haven't put much time into TL 2 as i've been on a BF 3/LoL kick lately. I intend to get some playtime in this week as a few friends have bought the game and I would really like to try MP :D

Melvis, the TL1 Multiplayer is pretty weak, as it's an addon that works... "ok", is the best way to describe it... Play TL1 when you want to see where it came from. Grab TL2, some friends, and have a blast! :)

Hm v1.15.2.2 is out but I still didn't try the original. C&C series so addictive. Will go back to TL2 later ...

Yea i know, ive only just tested it the once to see if it worked and it did, got 3 players working with it but we will see how it goes at a later date.

Thats the plan, play 1 to get an idea of the game, then play number 2 :)

I've been having quite a bit of fun playing this lately. I'm only level 9, so the game still seems fresh and not such a click fest. I haven't played this genre of game since the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance series back on the original Xbox.

Dead Thread, and all that, but for those that prefer their gaming DRM free, you can claim Torchlight and Torchlight 2 on GOG connect now. Steam versions can be "connected" until the 14th of Oct, those directly from Runic can be claimed indefinitely. Check out https://www.gog.com/reclaim for more options :)

(GOG Connect is a service where you link your Steam account to your GOG account, and for a small number of games {here}, about 100 or so, you can claim them on GOG, eliminating the DRM mess of Steam, while still providing a stable, cloud method of saving your game installs.)

*edit, misread number of currently available games.
