Add to this the fact that the public was watching us play (and undoubtable scrutinizing our every move!), and it was a pretty heady experience. I took the vanguard, throwing out repulsion waves and party absorption bubbles while Nick worked his firey death magic from the heavens. Together, Nick and I mowed down the enemies like butter. As we leveled up, I elected to go down the sword-and-board route primarily, with a little bit of heal-bot action. We started from the very beginning with Nick on an Embermage and me on an Engineer. As some of you probably know, Nick was streaming our play session and giving out beta keys for the game via the stream. The game that Nick fired up for our TWIC play session was actually the first time I’d gotten to play Torchlight II in its blessed, co-op form. From just comparing the two betas, I’m actually anticipating it more than Diablo 3 (blasphemy, I know). After actually getting to play it, I’m now rabidly awaiting the game’s release so I can play it with more of my friends. And then Nick got his hands on beta keys for several of us staff members. Yet about a month ago when it finally became clear that it would release sometime relatively soon(ish), I began to check out more videos for it and read some dev diaries. It was a persistent dot on my future video game radar, always there yet no brighter than the other dots. Throughout it all I’ve been thinking in the back of my mind: yeah, Torchlight II - I’ll grab that when it comes out. Enter Torchlight II: the improved Torchlight, now with co-op! We’ve been kicking around stories about this game for a long time, and it’s had its share of delays (heck, I think Nick has gone hands-on with it several times at all different sorts of conventions).



The reason I only put 13 hours into it, and not 130, was because it was a single-player game. The artstyle was great, I loved the pet system, and it just felt like a high quality dungeon crawler. It was a damn good game, and according to Steam I put about 13 hours into it. My feelings about Torchlight 1 were similar to how I imagine most of you felt. Schultz - I quoted your message into my reply because I was curious about the "quick boots" spell you mentioned.were you perhaps referring to Haste? It speeds up your movement and attack speed, I lucked into a Haste II scroll when I was playing earlier, and it's awesome for my warrior guy, as I always use a slow / slowest weapon in his right hand and an average or faster in his left hand - almost all of the special attacks are based on right hand weapon damage, not dps but actual damage range as I understand it, so the attacks hit a ton harder with a slow weapon with high top end damage, but having the Haste II spell running makes my normal button tap attacks quite a bit faster and boosts my dps by a pretty large margin.This Week in Co-Op, Tally and Nick take you on an epic journey into the Torchlight 2 beta and their live streaming of the event from last week. I'll have to see if I can find the heal all spell for my pet. Thank you all for answering my question, as well as the excellent information regarding the heal spells vs potions. Regarding spells, the Quick Boots (whatever the speed boost is called) is really nice when you have to backtrack around a dungeon. It throws it out constantly, immobilizing enemies so I hit them from afar with my Vanquisher. The other spell I taught my pet was the Spider Web one. It's nice to have that HP boost in battle. Thanks in advance to anyone that might be able to shed some light on this for me.

I even came across a heal self scroll, so I don't have to worry about my stock of potions, just cast that and wait ten seconds for it to heal me from nearly empty to full and for my mana to recharge, so far it's working very well.ĭoes anyone know if the pet getting the deathblow or just hitting enemies reduces the xp that would normally go to my warrior? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind him doing that, unless the pet takes away from the experience I would be getting for killing the enemies myself, which ksmeasy enough to do. I set it to aggressive to see how that worked, now he's definitely aggressive, he goes running at enemies that I haven't seen on my screen yet.

I turned mine into the troll thing with the unusual fish, but he was just kind of standing around on defensive mode doing nothing that I noticed.I would expect that it would attack anything that came after me, but it didn't.

I'm currently just fooling around with the warrior class, I didn't try the demo as I had played this one a bit on pc and enjoyed it, I heard that achievements and characters can bug out when you upgrade to full version, and as I was 99.9% sure I wanted the game I just bought it.
