Common Questions and Issues!

[UnD3RD0G]

Some questions i have :

GAME related
- When finding a weapon, is the DPS indication calculated on ALL theextra damage the item has? ( ex. +16 fire damage , +7 ice damage ) or just on the main damage types?
- When dualwielding, lets say i have 2 weapons of 100 DPS - my DPS would be 150 dps ( 100% main hand - 50% offhand? ) lets say my offhand has a +10% attack speed - does this apply to both weapons?
- whats with the attackspeed when dualwielding? It just keeps the same but u use the other hand - there is no advantage in dualwielding then since u want to fast hit with a damage penalty on the offhand
- how does the damage calculation works in the overview sheet ( pressing C ) - where you see ur damage ( physical / ranged / magic )?
- on the Destroyer , when using the first skill u get ( the AOE in-front-of-you skill ) does it addup the dual wield damage or only the main hand damage?
- is there a way when setting ur statpoints to raise your HP? or is the HP & Mana ammount just determined by lvl - class - items?
- Will there be a way to 'order' the dropped items, instead of all items overlapping eachother.
- Is there / will there be a way to see the cumulated amount of damage you do? ( now u see physical / ranged / magic seperate ) sometimes making it hard to decide what items are best.
- further on the above question : in the overviesheet where u see the 3 types and amounts of damage - do these hold te speed modifier? - a 'slowest' 2hander with 90-100 damage or a 'fastest' 1 hander wit 60-70 will most likely display misleading numbers? as the fast one hander will have more damage output.
- when dualwielding a Gun & a Sword ( where gun is mainhand ) : u are unable as a destroyer to use your skills., when wielding Sword & Gun ( sword main hand ) its OK.
- when dualwielding sword and gun - when attacking an enemy - u will stop at ranged range and start shooting, but never go into melee - where i would prefer to go melee wih sword and shoot also in melee range.
- Does the difficulty setting influences the loot quality ( better damageon weapons, more armor on amor, ... ) and related to it - is the stash shared over chars with a different difficulty setting?

GENERAL
- are there any options to expand the inventory as it is really small - seeing that for example Gems take a full slot and dont stack, tyou quickly run out of space.
- is there in any way a possibility to create a HighDefinition version of TL ( using the torchEd or something else? )
- what are the possibilities to create a COOP mode? ( using torchED or something else? )
- I am unable to enable AntiAliasing , when doing so and applying - game restarts, but when going to options, the checkbox remains unchecked.
- Will there be Blooming effect available sometime? i love blooming effect as it increases the fantasy setting and adds color and depth to the atmoshpere.
- is it possible to ( ingame or trough a notepad-edit of a file ) to boost TL graphiclly even more?
- I have a laptop and a desktop : generally i play on my desktop, at nightfall, i take my laptop and get in beb to paly a little more - but im forced to play a seperate game. is there a way to 'import' a savegame from one client to another? so i can copy that file ( or more ) to my laptop TL game, and continue m char, then , copy from laptop to desktop again, and continue there etc etc... ( also in addition - desktop is steam version - laptop is not - will this be a problem? ) - or as mentioned somewhere on the forum : make a sort of portable version? ( on USB stick, and just play from there? Would be awesome)
- Whats with the long loading times? even on massive machine i get a boot time for TL around 30-45 secs, and a floorload around 15-20 secs?




a whole lot of small questions / remarks
but Runic Games, double thumbs up for the great game, the tight deadline, the short develop time, the low price ( wich in these days imo is a very nice gesture to the players ) and a fantastic atmosphere and fun ingame!

Q: Can you reset skills / stats ?

[UnD3RD0G]

Q: Can you reset skills / stats ?

if I recall correctly, in the vanilla version there is no option.
They implemented it tho as a potion ( a reset potion ) but they put the drop chance and vendor chance on zero ( nihil )
so with a slight modification, or just dropping the object in a vendor in torchED should fix that problem so you either will be able to buy a reset potion at a vendor, or it will occasionally drop from monsters.

answer in short :
TL vanilla : no reset
with a tiny easy mod : yes ( drop or vendor )

Q) I bought from Torchlightgame.com - good lord, the download is slow! What can I do!

A) Here's a new download location for you! http://www.torchlightgame.com/download - additionally, e-junkie will be upgrading the bandwith available for their downloads as well. Hopefully the net effect will be released pressure and download speeds for everybody. You have our apologies for the snail's pace at which you've been downloading.

Note that the Perfect World version (which is what the link gives you) will not work with keys bought through torchlightgame.com

Hi guys, first of all, thanks for your work about Torchlight. I was waiting you since Mythos has been closed.

Q: i've spend all my first points into first Lore talent tree of my wizard : summuning minions. But when i summun one or more, i didn't see them anywhere in my interface. There is no pictures with the current number of minions alive. Will you change this ? Or did i miss something in the interface ?

Ehm, I heard something about starting a new character with bonusses from an old character? Is this Implented and ifso, how does it work

Q. I've been playing a vanquisher up to 24 so far, and found a few items with leech life and mana on them. They only seem to work with normal attack. Is this intended? Seems odd that I can't leech mana with my skills when it's the skills that drain my mana.

Q2. This is just pure laziness on my part, but I've gotten up to cut gem quality...is there a quality higher than that?

Q3. If this game does become an MMO in the future, will I have to purchase another game or will I be able to upgrade for free?

Good morning--

I purchased this game from Steam last night. I played for 90 minutes, then went to town and exited the game. This morning, I came back and my character is still there. Hooray!

My friend did the same thing last night with his own copy of the game. However, this morning his character is gone. As a test, he created a new character, then exited the game, came back, and that character is still there-- but his character from last night is still gone.

Is there any way he can recover his original character? Thanks!

Still don't understand the save system.

Q1) Can I start more then one character at a time? Or will it override my last save?

Q2) Why aren't there save slots and a quick-save button(to help keep track of all this)?

Q2) Why aren't there save slots and a quick-save button(to help keep track of all this)?

A1) I have multiple characters. It doesn't override. It saves just fine.

Q2) To me, the save system is like Diablo 2, and unlike PC-FPS's. Where it auto-saves and you can start right where you sort of left off. If you've played Diablo 2, you're just fine. If you haven't, then get used to the save system.

1) Do you get better loot on harder difficulties? What about hardcore mode?

2) If you retire a character on easy/normal can you make the descendant on a harder difficulty?

UnD3RD0G, I think some of your questions may be unrelated to the game:

- When finding a weapon, is the DPS indication calculated on ALL theextra damage the item has? ( ex. +16 fire damage , +7 ice damage ) or just on the main damage types?

This one isn't unrelated, but iirc the manual stated that yes, the DPS is calculated by taking everything into account (I'll double check next time I boot up Steam.)

- is there in any way a possibility to create a HighDefinition version of TL ( using the torchEd or something else? )

Define "High Definition." Mine goes all the way up to the max my TV will display: 1366x768, and manual states the res is 1920x1200 which is a good resolution for *most* LCDs and is slightly beyond what is currently being called "high definition." Perhaps your video card is limiting you? What kind do you have?

- I am unable to enable AntiAliasing , when doing so and applying - game restarts, but when going to options, the checkbox remains unchecked.

Again, might be a problem with your GPU, as I have no problem enabling it.

- is it possible to ( ingame or trough a notepad-edit of a file ) to boost TL graphiclly even more?

If you're using XP, got to C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\runic games\torchlight and browse through the Settings.txt file. You might be able to manually kick up a few things in there. As far as saved games go, I *think* all the save data you would need to transfer is located in (for XP, not sure for Vista):
C:\Documents and Settings\[name]\Application Data\runic games\torchlight\save

Don't know if it works, you'll have to try it, but you might just be able to copy the files out of that folder and paste them into the same folder on your other machine.

1) Do you get better loot on harder difficulties? What about hardcore mode?

2) If you retire a character on easy/normal can you make the descendant on a harder difficulty?

1.) No. The quality of loot remains the same on all difficulties. The deeper you delve, the better it gets.
2.) Yes.

Currently, no. There was an un-retire applet for Fate that someone produced that would do just this, but at this time there is no way to do this that I know of.

Hi friends, newbie here hoping she is posting in the correct section.

You are supposed to be able to send your pet back to town with your loot by means of clicking a green arrow in the pet interface. When I open the pet inventory there is no green arrow. Could anyone tell me exactly what I am meant to click and where?

Thanks to all in advance!

[Shardz]

The "green arrow" they are probably talking about is in the hot bar up in the upper left corner. You don't need your pet inventory open to do this. You can mouse-over the hot bar up in the left corner and it will tell you what the buttons do (if you have that option on in Settings). I hope this helps!

[Bigolet]

the questions in this thread could be answered by some runic member with time (if any lol)... please?

[Masterson]

Far too easy to get stuck, without the use of a town scroll, this looks to be a major issue.

[SimonPegg]

This may be unrelated but.....Do you guys get more ladies because you use swagger, or cause this game is awesome?
