Titan Quest

[Baked]

From the pics, it looks like Champions of Norrath.

is there any way to rotate the camera? i wanted to do that throughout the entire demo. otherwise, pretty neat game. i like how you can choose different paths, but i wish you didn't have to stick to one (or at least i didn't know how to lvl up in another one)

I'm about done with GREECE so far. I've found some great items, and collected a good number of runes so far.
I have roughly 3-4 'green' items and some 2-3 'blue' items.

Also, I found a purple bow (forget the name of it, Chiton?) which is a quest item but I have no idea who to speak to.

anyways, i'm hooked on it.. I will try the Multiplayer section after I pass the game. I hope it's as addicting as D2's hehe

danny~!

dude, Chiron's bow belongs to that friendly centaur next to the bridge outside of the cave, whose name happens to be Chiron.

get that thing back to him, he gives you 2 stat points as a reward

Not that I know of. You can scroll in and out, but that really messes up your plain of vision and you can't see the monsters that are already aggroing you.

You can change your skills, but you can't change your mastery nor your master points you put in. There is a merchant (mystical?) that charges you to remove skill points on skills. As you remove your skills, the cost grows, almost exponential. Either way, gold isn't hard to come by, so just be sure you know what masteries you want. I selected earth and storm, but I have all my points in storm, and only like 8 on earth mastery.

StevenYoo: Thanks, i've been carrying this thing around all the way up to Egypt, LOL

danny~!

I've got a level 36 spirit character. It's fun to go back to greece in normal difficulty. Everything you kill flies 20'.

 

[Sphexi]

Been playing about 3 hours, pretty fun so far. Just about lvl8, so I'm not sure what I'm going to pick as my second class.

Does anyone else find it weird that when you reload a game that all of the mobs come back? Unlike Diablo where they're all gone, seems you can go after bosses over and over again, like that Centaur near the Spartan camp, I must've killed him about 5 times now, gotten decent loot every time. Seems like you could abuse this to build up decent cash before you're really intended to.


Edit:
Just hit lvl8, got my Wanderer/Warrior going on, love this wolf ...like a 2nd me except a little less damaging. Still pretty useful, since I can tank a lot of guys at once while he picks them off.

 

[pontifex]

i'm in asia now and i'm disappointed with the loot. my character's armor is all blue except for the rings and amulet. my melee weapon is either green or blue, i have a blue and green bow. i have 3 pieces of the ramses set and 2 pieces of the Theban set.

i think i had all this stuff before or shortly after i hit egypt. i have seen maybe one blue item since then and it was worse than what i had. its all yellow crap, even when i kill major bosses and stuff. whats the deal?


i'm also thinking about playing without my pets or maybe with less of them because they all kill everything and i just pick up the items. kinda ruins the fun. I'm a summoner which is earth and nature masteries.

I hadnt seen much about this game till last week. I had heard it was a D2 type game but I didnt realize how much like D2 it was till I actually played it. Like everyone is saying, the gameplay is almost an exact clone. They did do a few things to make it unique though.. like letting you choose two classes, which to me gives it a lot more replay value. Theres also some anoying things, like stuff that was in D2 that i was was in this game (like the storage locker). But overall, Im pretty happy with it. I mean, if your gonna clone a game, might as well clone a really kickass one. I been waiting for a new version of Diablo for a while and looks like this is it, at least until they come out with another actual Diablo game!

 

[duragezic]

Yeah I played the demo and found it pretty fun.

I know this is the next best thing to D2. I suppose I could pick up D2 + LoD AGAIN, but I wasted too much time with that game. Dungeon Siege, Gothic, Sacred, etc never felt anywhere near as good. They say there has been tons of Diablo clones but I think Titans Quest is the best clone yet.

I hope the minor issues will get fixed with patches. I think I may pick this up after its been out for a couple of months to mature, and if the online play is solid, plus it may be a little cheaper by then. Unless Hellgate ever comes out!

 

[Alienwho]

I've been playing a Wanderer/Spirit and so far I haven't had a problem. I just got to Egypt and I have 2 wolf pets, the liche king, and a nymph doing practically all my fighting. I just either use plague and run around for all my pets to kill everyone, or I just hang back and throw out triple damage with my mage staff. My wolves are tough as nails, they don't do the most damage, but they take a beating.

I used to hate picking up items also, but then i figured out that pressing x highlites all the good items/gold/potions for easy selection.

Download the latest DirectX?

I have a lvl 32 spirit/nature (Soothsayer) and i'm in china now.

It's fun, but the lich is starting to take major beatings now. I have to heal him quite often. Those tiger dudes are insane!

I started a warfare/rogue (assassin) recently. It's nice to have the damage-dealing aspect of the rogue with the hit-everyone aspect of the warrior.

I finished up the normal difficulty last week. It was a fun ride but I'm not itching to give it another go at the next difficulty level.....yet.

I also was a soothsayer (barely)....things get a bit more difficult closer to the end but still very manageable. I didn't so squat on the nature side....just one point for regrowth. Everthing else went into my wand and Lich King. Oh and one point on summoning an otherworlder that came and went in about 30 seconds. Y'all really need to see this giant in action. He's fun to watch.

Max out Wraith Shell and he'll be nearly indestructable unless mobbed by spellcasters.

Otherwise, I found TQ to be pretty boring and unchallenging.

yeah, i have 3 points in the heal spell and that's all.

I didn't put any points into staff skills. It was useless for me in the beginning. Maybe i'll invest some points into it.

The big giant dude is AWESOME. He's very useful in big boss battles

 

[DannyLove]

only summon guys I have is a Wisp (storm) and a earth-dude (Earth).. the earth guy doesn't survive at all... so far, I regret not going the assassin way... (rouge)

oh wells.

 

[pontifex]

one thing i don't like about the game is that the dungeons are too small. that and there's too many dungeons with no point and no good items.

i only played earth and nature mastery so far but the skills are very limited. i don't even use half the spells because they seem pretty worthless.

 

[Sphexi]

Well I went with a warrior/wanderer, the wolf is pretty useful, although I dislike him running off all the time. He draws aggro pretty well, but once he gets mobbed by a few guys he goes down fast, since he's still pretty young. On the other hand, with a few heal potions, I can sit there and take damage all day, with two axes and doing about 40dph on average (lvl9, almost 10), I just chew through guys like nothing.

 

[datalink7]

This game is great, if you like mindless Diablo II type games (which I do sometimes... I'm having a lot of fun right now ).

Expect your wolf to be useless later on, and expect to die a ton with that build when(if) you move on to Epic/Legendary.

when you beat normal mode, can you choose to pay another character on the next difficulty or do you have to play with your original character? i definitely want a different skill combo if i'm going to play through again

edit: just beat it. you have to play with your original character. can't change stats or skill masteries. can use a new character in the epic mode.

this sucks. does anyone know of a character editor that i could use to change my combat masteries and stuff? i know there were several for d2 but i don't see any for titan quest yet.

You can buyback your skills and change them by visiting the mystics in town. Can't change your two actual masteries though that I know of without editing (which I don't know how to do).

i meant changing masteries. i did find an editor, but it still doesn't allow you to change masteries. oh well.

 

[Rage187]

I am lvl 43 Warfare/Nature. The wolves are now useless in epic so I unspecced them and put all the points into the +health nature skill, gave me double my health to 6500HP ftw! With this high HP max heals and grand potions only heal for 20%-25% at most.

I also need to work on my range as the Talos guard guy outside Minoan Labrynthe is evil and one shots you.

 

[DannyLove]

I'm barely at lvl 23 Elementalist Storm/Earth.
I'm in Egypt, and barely finished the Quest where I had to find the Hand of Balance and Eye of Chaos.

My earth summon is almost pointless, he dies in a few seconds...
My Wisp is great though, and my Lightning Bolt owns!

I'm not sure where else to spec in. Earth doesn't seem very attractive.
