Thoughts on EA so far?
>What are you playan?
Went for Warfare & Earth full tank as first playthrough

Bump, I can’t be the only EA player

i will wait and see whether or not the devs are committed to finishing the game before bothering to play it.

apparently theres only 3-4hrs or content. won't bother with that paid demo when theres still so much room for them to overhaul everything anyway

>>717087258
you get about 10-15 hours in a single run

>>717085209 (OP)
I've played for 10-12 levels, used lightning strike. It's fine. Gonna wait for release, no point playing right now.

>>717087258
i literally just did my first playthrough of last epoch in 8 hours.

tq2 has 10-15 hours so far and im not done with it.

>>717085209 (OP)
Does tanking actually work in this unlike other games like POE2?

With only 1 act and 4 classes it’s too bare bones for me to try, I’d rather wait. Gameplay looked alright from what I’ve seen

this act 1 map is pretty substantial

>>717089456
With boss fights you’ll still have to get away from telegraphed stuff but you can facetank most what the game throws at you if you build into it.

>can reach 100% crit rate on some skills with rogue mastery literally 1-2 hours into the game
>200% and 300% crit multis at start
I wonder where the game is heading

>>717090410
Nerfs I'd imagine

It's quite pretty looking right off the bat. I miss this old school ARPG feeling.

>>717089681
Yeah the area is way more than I thought it would be
>>717091853
the sense of adventure this one gives is really lacking in other ARPG’s on the market Grim Dawn looks too old now to get back to I’m going to feel content starved once i’m done with the EA

>>717085209 (OP)
my childhood game got fucked by being early access, this is stupid really, the original game took me weeks to get to hades, fuck that demo honestly

>>717094507
it would've been better with two acts out of the gate and being beta, they screwed themselves teasing it so early this EA got delayed from may or something

i'll play it closer to release, this isn't even an alpha yet

please respond how do i get squall spell? is there a squall like spell? I saw a monster use something that looked like it but cold.

how well does it run?

>>717085209 (OP)
defender + hunter

>>717098042
not very well

>>717098042
people with rtx 4080super are happy they get 55fps at medium settings

>>717097893
haven't had one in 20 hours :)

>>717098094
but there’s no hunter

Rogue is so fucking stupid with all the crit multipliers and crit chance increases
what the hell

oh look another arpg that's exactly like every other arpg ever created

i sure cant wait to play it

>>717098308
Wow, so it looks like a PS4 game and requires a 4080 super to get 55 fps at medium settings.

I HATE UE5. I doubt my rx 6600 can even run this then. They should have used Unity instead

I love titan quest but I don't buy EA thanks

>>717085209 (OP)
why doesn't the statue have at least 1 tit out? woke dei bullshit i see

>>717099687
I'm playing TQ1

Just simply not worth playing right now. They never should have EA'd it like this. 4 classes with pretty limited connectivity beyond their multiple snoring build/spend mechanics and general buffs. Also each class only having like an average of 5 abilities total with clear builds defining 1 half the tree is insanely weak. They say it's going to go up in price at launch but that's hard to believe. I see no scenario where this is worth more than $30.

>>717100987

it's trick shot with all crit modifiers
crit aura with crit modifiers
vanish with crit modifiers
then you just want flat damage on rings/weapon
have fun killing bosses and everything else before they spawn under a vanish

Tell me what class to play

I'm using ice shards with max homing and pierce.
They loop around and hit the same target multiple times its pretty neat.

The uninstall wizard.

Should I be upgrading core skills?

Wait it's only 1 act? Damn that sucks, been a blast playing it but i guess i'm already done. Any date on the next update?

>nevermind, heres your ascensions hours later, locking you into a specific playstyle
>look at TQ2 instead
>its EA and only 5 hours long

>>717085209 (OP)
Bad performance, bad ui, bad controller support. limited build options, slow combat, bad dialogue, bad animations

This game could have released in 2008 and it would have been a banger. Now? Literal garbage

>>717085209 (OP)
they really will need to try harder balancing because every zoomer uses AI now and it's way too easy to find the best in slot abilities especially with how little they offer

>>717107606
but enough about poe 2

I'm a brainlet, why use flow instead of overwhelm?

>>717107756
Im not a fan of poe2. This game is pretty similar in pacing, and overall gameplay. Boring, mechanically stifled. Worse animations, worse build options, worse world building

It's a bad game from a washed up dev team. Riding on rose-tinted goggles doesn't make a good game

>>717107749
>cares about best in slot

>>717108001

>muh thin ass lighting strike

>>717108086
As long as you're stylish.

Does increased ailment chance on your core attack only increase the ailment attached to it or is it universal?

They got a good bit deeper into greek mythology in this one.

>ea
>probably will be for the next 5 years
and from my wishlist to my ignore list, fucking sad

>>717107749
>>717108086
The skills all serve different purposes. I mean sure this matters if you are a min-maxer who is going to respec skills as one activates but i leveled with lightning strikes but then when i got lightning bolt it became my builder for rage and flow and lightning strike my orbital nuke.

but yeah ultimately this game doesn't seem like, right now, a game I'd play extensively. just beat for the story and fun greek myth aesthetic, then quit.

also it does seem to be optimized like shit. playing spin2win warrior for some reason hard crashes my computers power. no other game does this and I am on high lel.

>>717085209 (OP)
just finished the EA content, took like 10-11 hours with one restart early on, it is fun, curious about how many classes there will be, items are kinda tame, UE5 stutter included, music slaps, VAs are good

why does it look so ugly? i don't mean graphically
TQ1 was peak soul in ambience and maps
this is another dark misty themed Grim Yawn bullshit

>>717108816
they plan to finish it up by end 2026

>>717109150
im guessing they're not trying to make a long running market defining game. just a small team led project.

>>717108816
animations and skill effects are from 2006. They need to heavily revamp what's there currently. It's basically the same game with updated graphics which just isn't going to cut it in 2025

>>717109150
>dark misty themed Grim Yawn
The fuck? It's vibrant just like TQ1. Are you shitposting?

>>717109296
What if that is exactly what I wanted.

I need my nature + storm.

I need my necromancy + defense.

I need my storm + hunting.

Just going to do a basic bitch Earth + Warefare run for now.

>embracer group early access slop

>>717107749
source on the table?

>>717109682
Yeah, you pretty much need to refund and pirate this garbage.

>>717109454
then just play tq1? It's better by far and and a complete game? Are you so enticed by updated graphics that you turn your brain off and purchase things on a complete whim even if they have no substance?

>>717109797

>>717109996
Nah, I'll play both.

This looks boring.

Surely they won't actually make us wait 3 months for act 2

>>717112939
>>717113295
I think I swaped the item colorization, so this one is Epic (Blue in TQ1).
That's why I'm asking if the next tier (legendaries) come with special effects, compared to the stat sticks they were in the original.

>>717113705
Does it have MIs? It's not worthy of calling itself Titan Quest if it doesn't.

This dodging/evasion shit is fucking stupid and makes this game instantly more trash than PoE 1 and 2. What is up with this "souls-like" dodging everyone is piling onto.

how do you manage to make an ARPG and not have seasonal wipes and leagues every 6 months?
don't the zoomers completely lose interest after 2 weeks?

>payed demo

I've never made it very far in the first game.
I should like that game, but I can't stand it.

>Not playing spin to win
I'm spinning on these fools and they can't stop me

>>717114826
I've tried to play the first game at least a dozen of times over the years but I I've made it to the start of the 2nd act once. It's just so boring and repetitive, it sounds like my kind of game but I always burn out too quickly.

nigga HH

I'll wait until the devs add more content, and see what kind of progress they make and what kind of endgame they add, since right now you just pay to revive bosses from what I know, I already got burned with poe2's slow development pace.

>>717085209 (OP)
>Thoughts on EA so far?

>>717101729
devilish!
>>717104982

>>717085209 (OP)
Rogue because the crit modifiers are stupidly OP and supercrits are a thing. Game was pretty fun, just some mindless ARPG that I will probably play through once or twice and then quit.
Does run like ass though.

>>717103921
It's insane. I did some minor optimizing after finishing act 1 and I was critting for 4.8k during Vanish. Could pump it up higher but then mana becomes an issue. I can already only fire 4 shots before I'm OOM.
And this is with Storm as my second mastery which added fucking nothing to the build other than like 10% energy.

>>717097036
Here you go. Looks like shit because I've never made one before.

>>717113865
It does have MI's

>>717116124
What specs and what level of details are you running for that fps?

Wait so it's not like the rest of the diabloslop where you just spam skills and clutter the map with loot? Is this like PoE2 Soulslike isometric ARPG design?

>>717114337
keep playing poe in the loo jeet

>>717116272
so far yes because this is literally act 1 and nobody showers u with loot in acts 1

>>717087258
If you bumrush the main quest, yeah. If you actually explore, you'll get a minimum of 10hours. And exploring is actually rewarded with hidden events and side quests that give rewards like bonus Attribute and Skill points.

>>717116224
DLSS on Quality, everything else on High(Highest is Epic)
3080 + 9700X3D

FPS goes down to 40s on Epic without DLSS

>>717116462
In D2 it was
Remember countess and Griswold and Andy runs? Don't forget the pit too

>>717116272
It's another ARPG, they are all the same. TQ only had a few differences beyond theme.

Titans' Quest 1 was slow paced up until about when you reach Act 2 in Egypt. I can already spam skills to kill quickly in Act 1 if you modify your skills for high DPS. Titans Quest 1 just put more emphisis on you using your default skills as well as your tabbed skills. That focus is the same in TQ2, because they allow you to modify your default attack, which is a smart idea. But it all boils down to BiS, Movement Speed, Map Clear - it's an ARPG.

which one is the timmy class?
you know, the one that is really bad but has all the flashy/power fantasy skills?
I'm guessing warfare?

>>717116616
in normal mode they drop nothing/trash. and in version 1.0 there was like no good items anyways

>>717117226
Earth probably. It has all of the cool fire/lava skills and when I played it they all did fuck all damage.

>>717116471
why would you explore if you can complete the game without needing to? all those quests you do, items you loot, and minions you kill may as well not even be there.

>>717117032
Diablo 2 as a necromancer on max difficulty in 8 player mode (solo) was kino, grinding down everything slowly with your immovable horde. Spamming teleport and aoeing everything down is the worst iteration of ARPGs. Sadly, no ARPGs have gone towards the D2 nec route, I guess not even D2 did except for with the nec. Sad.

>>717117314
You don't need to kill the demons to complete Doom, so why do it?

is there anything to do with apollo after you set him on the pedestal?

>>717085209 (OP)
Seems less like a sequel to Titan Quest and more like a game branded Titan Quest 2 that pulls more from other ARPGs than it does from its source material.

>>717117865
No idea why you'd say that TQ2 is true to TQ as in more about adventur and less about waveclear

>>717117950
since when was adventure even a focus in TQ when it devolved into the same endless gear chasing as every disablo clone?

>>717118039
Who the fuck was grinding gear in TQ?
You just play through the story, maybe do it a second time and you stop.

>everybody uses Mana
God, thank you. I'm so tired of every class having different resources. Sometimes it's nice to just got back to the basics (D2).

>>717118112
yeah just like most mindless npc casuals play 2 weeks of a poe league and quit for the next 6 months
but that's not the retarded playerbase that matters

Why is Diablo 2 the only game to do the stupid "join a room" thing?
All these ARPGs are boring without friends and Diablo 2 was the only ARPG where I can just join a party without even having to ask or talk to anybody.

>>717118159
well that's because you have to spec into 2 classes and it would be a fucking mess if you picked warfare and rogue and one used energy the other rage

>>717118537
But it isn't the only "ARPG" to do that, cat'tard.

>>717118537
You could do it in Titan Quest, just pick any game without a password. I think Grim Dawn works the same, but I don't remember.

>>717118742
Diablo 3, 4, PoE, PoE2, and this dont, so all the ones that matter dont.

>>717099839
Un*ty is worse than UE5 though. It seems that people forgot how it needed all power of flagship GPUs to render some 2d pixel indie and still had performance issues. A game with visuals like these on un*ty will make your pc combust in under 30 seconds. Shit I'm glad that malware disguised as a game engine decided to commit suicide.

>>717118742
Whyd you put ARPG in quotes as if that's not a real thing

>>717117950
>Play Titan Quest.
Linear but with plenty of open space and side areas. Fight a boss, it's a simple fight without DDR mechanics. You have summons on multiple masteries and a Nature Mastery with multiple minions for people that want to minion master. Bright vibrant colorful world. Simple way to increase stats and increase mastery tiers that lets you access new skills in your mastery.A great variety of enemies who actually use the items gear and weapons they drop. Fun adventurous story that stays out of the way of the player playing the game and having fun. Unique Mastery Skills that overwrite your basic attack adding flavor to your masteries and mastery combos. Has its own unique look. Takes advantage of its ancient greek myth inspired setting. You're an adventurer that starts with nothing. Male or female.

>Play Titan Quest 2
A linear hallway straight to boss. Fight a boss: inflated health DDR mechanics. You don't have summons on masteries that used to have summons in TQ1. Drab colorless gloomy. Convoluted divinity system with the illusion of choice you get six points, here's two masteries that require 6 points to upgrade to the next tier if you put three in both you fuck yourself no tier upgrade until your next divinity points which makes the 6 divinity points pointless because obviously you put six in just one of them. when in the OG Titan Quest you just chose between picking a skill upgrading a skill or advance tier all with the same pool of points you got from progressing levels. Samey copy paste repeat enemies that don't use the items they drop. Annoying story where your master is an old woman that's also a great warrior stronger than all men ever that constantly forces you to pay attention to it and rips you away from gameplay. Everyone uses the same boring basic attack. Looks like Diablo 4 but with none of the optimization. Turns its the greek setting into generic grim dark fantasy land. You're special snowflake already equipped with gear.

>>717085209 (OP)

You can join randoms in poe1 and 2, one of the few advantages of being always online. Of course since you're not a coordinated party you end up getting in each other's way by overriding each other's curses and shit like that.

>>717118927
people aren't complaining because that full price is only $20

>>717118563
Common sense is at an all time low so I wouldn't have been surprised if they tried to mix different resources or some shit. Imagine Demon Hunter in D3:

>Warfare abilities require Rage
>Storm abilities require Mana

>>717119061
This 'overriding curses' thing sounds like something theyd fix for 2, they didnt do that?

Disgusting loot rarity coloring. Makes it look like a mobile game.

It's basically Path of Exile 2 in Greece with less messy hitboxes. It's one hundred percent an isometric Soulslike if you want to call it that.
Don't expect to just spam and tank, dodge is king and you have to walk out of attacks/javelins

>>717120361
it's the modern one you can enable legacy coloring

>>717120361
It has an option for the classic TQ1 colors.

>>717120379
Is it satisfying? As in, are you still whacking each monster 10 times to kill it? Are bosses boring damage sponges? I'm not talking insta-killing whole packs or screens like Path of Excrement.

Can we go back to bullying retards paying to beta test games that potentially will never come out?

>>717120534
Nice

Which classes can you play? This game is based on greek mythology, right? Any mythology type classes

>>717120590
>Is it satisfying?
Yes
>As in, are you still whacking each monster 10 times to kill it?
No, just elites, that are usually with some mobs
>Are bosses boring damage sponges?
No, they go down way faster than PoE2 hitsponges
They are as tanky as you would expect in a Souls game

>>717120997
4 masteries, that are very expensive and have each many builds you can do by customizing attributes and skills through modifiers

>>717120997
thief goy
warrior goy
lighting/ice goy
fire goy

>>717120997
>Any mythology type classes
Nope
Rogue, Warfare, Storm, Earth
They are very generalized for this early release

>>717120997
Titan Quest has a multi-class system. For instance, Warfare mastery is basically Barbarian and Earth mastery is fire+earth mage, and you can mix and match any two Masteries. Pic related is TQ1 and TQ2 currently has Warfare, Rogue, Storm, and Earth.

>>717121871
lighting/ice is a different class from fire?

Anyone tried a poison rogue? Specifically would be interested in how viable the grenade is when specced into poison.

It feels painful to play. I loved titan quest 1, played from a month of release to today constantly like a autist but this game feels nothing like titian quest but more like a diablo 3 + POE2 clone mixed with that awful soulslike dodge shit. I miss spamming "r" and the health potion sound as you tanked bosses in titian quest 1. Titan quest 1 was a good game to play at a office or a day off for hours at a time. I only played two hours so far but the starting map needs to change to be something else, it feels like a beta test zone instead of story map.

I like the new weapon and armor types and the vertically of maps.

>>717107824
How do you even get overwhelm? It says the basic attack skill generates it when "an overwhelm skill is equipped", but I don't see any in the rogue/storm tree (or maybe I'm blind).

Neat, you can get them from the gambler npc too

what is energy drain dmg?
just a dmg type or does it drain energy as in giving you energy when hitting?

>>717107062
>locking you into a specific playstyle
Depends on the ascendancy, though honestly your starting location on the tree has a big impact too. It is very hard for Marauder to be a poison based build. It is very hard for Ranger to be a pure elemental caster.
I do get what you mean, but a lot of the ascendancies are just generically good. At times Juggernaut was used for melee and caster characters. Champion was used for bow and melee characters. They actually took the chance to make Saboteur LESS trap/mine focused and now is generically a decent trigger or projectile class. Ultimately you are right where it is hard to play a particular ascendancy and do anything with it, but it still has far more flexibility than any other ARPG.

>>717118871
Not even remotely true, Unity doesnt have performance issues like Unreal does

>>717123713
>potions on cooldown insead of buying(I hate this the most)
Only energy is on cooldown, health is based on you attacking.

>>717112718
I really do not like this kind of itemization.

For now Im just hoping that Poo2 adds more generically good ascensions for more classes. I dont have enough hours into 1 to feel committed to it anyway, although the wait for 2 to get into a more complete state might kill me.

anyone else hate the story? in TQ1 you spent the game chasing down telkines heroically, in TQ2 you run away form a lesser god like a little bitch whole game

>>717123713
>i like verticality
gah, fucking kys. these unnecessary cahnges made just to make changes are cancer. just like all this gay homo JUMP and CLIMB faggotry that for some reason the last diablo also had. why the fuck is that in there? it serves NO PURPOSE except to waste your time and break the flow of movement. god I fucking hade modern devs.

>>717125896
I already fought a god in act 1, surely Nemesis is just a plot device for someone more threatening (like the Telkines were for Typhoon)

>want to make grenade build
>it deals shit damage
t-thanks

>>717125465
It is legit gonna take 1.5 years at this rate.

>>717126590
Have you tried it with this?

>>717126776
i did the range doesn't even vwork with it

>>717127629
Guess they want you to play it with poison. Haven't really messed with it, I'm throwing daggers with infinite pierce myself.

>>717127629
Grenade is classified as a Projectile so it'
s probably a bug.

>>717127848
its so bad there is not one single video of anyone using it

>>717126094
She will revive Kronos.

The soul TQ had is missing from this that is for sure.

>>717128638
You mean nostalgia.

>>717128709
no you dabbled with more mythological stuff even at the start. in this it's generic animal mobs and fish people.

>>717128838
Then why not say that instead of meaningless meme speak?

>>717116124
Just swapped to this build on my warfare/rogue and I'm critting for 8-11k now

That 250% more crit chance modifier is broken

>>717129037
i just did

>>717129284
After being pressed.

it feels like the spell rage in the storm tree and the warfare do not stack.

>>717129336
it's called discussion that is what boards are for frend

>>717085209 (OP)
I'd rather play tq1 or gd

>>717129438
Meaningless meme speak is not discussion. saying something has/has no soul means literally nothing. You could've just said TQ2 (currently) lacks some of the mythological enemies TQ1 started with, like satyrs or maenads, and I'd agree.

>>717129658
anybody who played the first had a general idea what he meant. you know damn well if he specified with any detail longer than 3 sentences he would be getting tldr replies

>>717129847
>The soul TQ had is missing from this that is for sure.
No, you're just shitposting. Now kindly shut up or try to engage in an actual discussion.

How does the soundtrack compare to the original TQ?

>"fun" is a buzzword -poster has leveled up

>>717130097
i have nothing memorable from the first desu but the 2nd just has bunch of wailing woman baldur's gate-esque shit

*meow*

Stop lying for once.

I'm surprised that I'm enjoying it because looking at the early teasers they released I genuinely thought the game was going to be complete shit. It feels surprisingly nice to play, and they have some interesting ideas for skill interplay, but there are definitely balance issues I'm concerned with right off the bat.
I'm floored with the quality of the first act, though, I think that's what really blew me away. There are a lot of details in the world and walking up to a cliff overlooking an area, and then going down into that area and fighting, feels really cool. It's a bit reminiscent of TQ1 in that respect, but they're actually pulling it off better (so far) in TQ2.
I'm worried that the rest of early access won't be able to keep up with the quality of the first act, and I'm worried we won't ever see the game be completely fleshed out in the way it deserves to be, but I hope I'm just dooming about that and my fears are unfounded. I'm much, much more impressed than I thought I'd be, but I thought the game was going to be complete dogshit.
>>717128638
I disagree, I think they actually did a pretty phenomenal job of capturing the soul of the first game, which took me by complete surprise. I'd say the one big thing lacking in that regard is some of the voice work, the original had such hammy, over the top/cheesy voice acting that is sorely missed here. Otherwise, I'm pleased that this feels like an actual sequel in a lot of respects.

no. having defensive buttons to hit is fun and requires more skin than passive bullshit.

>>717131670
You already have dash and barrier.

>>717131540
