Title: Torchlight
Post by: Cysma on July 08, 2010, 07:35:23 pm
Has anyone else heard of this fine Diablo clone? (Made by the same people, in fact!) You can buy it on Steam for a mere $20 last time I checked.

For those that have it: I've been having a problem recently: The monsters in the Shadow Vault are normally supposed to be around the same level as your character, but in my game they are only going up level per floor, as in the main dungeon. I've asked about this problem on several other forums and no one has given me a solution to this.

And what does this have to do with Torchlight? Or would you rather post insults not directed at anyone in particular that will just get modded?

So what's your favorite class? Destroyer, Alchemist, or Vanquisher? I've played through the game once with each of them. I think I may like the Vanquisher for the effectiveness of Explosive Shot.

isn't torchlight some series on WB
Title: Torchlight
Post by: The Penguin on July 09, 2010, 09:24:35 pm
Don't worry about everyone else, they are just playing around.

Anyway, I only played through the game as an Alchemist (twice), first time using mainly destruction spells (and focusing on the lightning bolt spell, which was insane at higher levels).
The second playthrough I went an all minion build, and the first 10 to 20 levels were pretty tough, but once I had 5 imps, both golems, my pet, and then three spells that could summon, plus a heal all spell, I was basically invincible.

Also, I don't know if that is a glitch or not with the shadow vault.  I believe you have to beat the last boss for the floors to take into account your actual level.  It has been awhile (6 months), so I can't remember all that clearly though, I could be completely wrong.

Don't listen to this!  By not working this game is saving you from the misery and boredom that is torchlight.

When I played through as an Alchemist I specialized in minions and Ember Lance, a spell which was quite effective for both single targets and large swarms. However, keeping track of your pet, two golems, and six imps was a pain, and I struggled to beat the final boss with this kind of setup, dying about a dozen times before he finally went down.

I'd like to play more games like this one. The only one I've played that was similar to this was Alien Syndrome on the Wii and PSP.

If you like Diablo clones, then Diablo 3 is coming out in the next year or so, and the Dungeon Siege series (albeit a bit old) are also pretty good.

Roman, the meaning of Torchlife... begins with discussion of the metaphysical world that we live in.  You see, by guiding our spirits to the edge of reality, we can find our special "torch" and begin anew with a new life.  I feel like we all have a special connection to one another that will never be dissipated unless the world comes crashing upon itself.

Torchlight isn't very grind-heavy, especially compared to most MMOs. I can gain one or two levels easily by clearing out a single floor. You would know this if you actually played the game.

Of course, EVERY RPG ever made by definition has level grinding.

most of that stuff is on youtube. a couple of my friends are pretty competitive about starcraft so i've seen a couple tournament rounds and the korean announcers are even crazier than like spanish futbol announcers.

There making an MMO and useing the concept of Torchlight hence Torchlight MMORPG.

what's the difference

Agreed there almost the same they both take starcraft to the next Level.

The story in Torchlight is "almost nonexistant" because no one bothers to read the story in Diablo and Diablo-esque games in the first place, so why should they even bother?

that's exactly what they're doing. and in higher level comptetitive games it would almost require the player to be omnipotent and be present everywhere wherever any of his units are on the map - every second. that's hardcore micromanagement.
