What are you supposed to do once you finish Act 1

>>717277703 (OP)
>all advertising features brown people instead of Mediterranean people
pass

>>717277703 (OP)
Try HC

>Do meme ice build
>Do 1.1k damage per cast
Oh yeah, this feels good.

>>717278193
For anyone interested

classic

>>717278632
how does the gameplay feel?
is it slow or fast?

>>717278901
I like it, i'm not mad on this genre personally. Never played POE or anything, but i loved the original Titan Quest and it feels good so far, it needs more content though.

>>717278996
How long is it right now? I was a big fan of the original titan quest but I don't know if I want to buy in on early access if its going to be stuck contentless for the next 3-4 years

>>717279767
Not long, about 6-7 hours.

>>717280036
What a flop, why are major studios even doing early access? Just make a full fucking game

>>717280913
line must go up

>>717278632
This looks a lot like path of exile. Can you modify skills with runes or some item?

wait for a finished product

So this game is good because it's not made by Blizzard, even though it's a piece of shit compared to any Diablo? Did i get it right?

>>717277948
that's because meds are brown

>>717277703 (OP)
Should I buy it if I plan to play it eventually?
There's no way the game will be 24$ at full release, right?

>>717278632

>>717281529
they're not brown like the advertising content.

I really want this game but I am so greedy with my money lol

>>717281832
No it;'ll be like $70 at release kek

>>717282169
Nice, what skills and passives?

>>717281426
>Did i get it right?
Half of it, anyway. That's a passing grade, so don't think too much about it.

Finished this the other day and finally decided to give Grim Dawn a go. Seems fun as fuck so far but also confusing.

>>717281832
They said as they add more content, the entry price will go up.
Originally they were going to charge $70 for EA.

They're trying to bait you into fomo.
If you compare it TQ1 or even Grim Dawn, sure you're paying $24 for the base game, but they're going to charge you for future updates/expansions and in total you will even up spending Hundreds of dollars as a day 1 content player.

It's also a single player game, just pirate it imo.

>>717283760
got a better staff

>>717277703 (OP)
Kill this guy over and over for better loot so you can do it again but slightly faster

>>717283162
I had a lot of fun with a demo/arcanist build. Boost up your fire/elemental damage and go wild

>>717284123

>>717286325
boooo fire..

>>717284612
Sounds based, might try it.

>>717286325
Damn that is some damage, my only worry with the slow act release is that by the time act 2 comes out i'll be so overpowered i'll just one shot everything. Guess i should make a second character and keep them low power.

>>717278901
Its slow. Early on I would even say its plodding, but once you unlock some skills its feels pretty good, Its definitely more methodical, if you like the speed freak aspect of modern arpgs this one isn't for you.

>>717278901
>slow
it really slow, like so slow. i bought it cause they make it sound like it'll only increase in price (we'll see) but i'm not planning on installing it til a big content patch

>>717280913
They need to know how much resources they can devote to this over other projects. It was a niche game on release and they are clearly taking it in a different direction than most modern arpgs. So they'll trickle out content for this, then ape any money or talent for their bigger name titles ie Darksiders.

Any decent place to level to 40 or do i just spam the end boss over and over again?

based

>>717280913
It's about 7-10 hours based upon how you build your character. It's easily digestible and there's a lot of build combinations you can play with.
If they manage to keep their promises with the content releases, it's a good deal.

>>717287012
You are forgetting they will probably nerf everything to the ground

>>717281389
You get modification options for your skills from leveling them up. You get up to 5 separate mods per active skill. You get 1 mod point per level until level 3, then 1 every two levels. Some ability mods cost 2 points. Some require a companion mod to function, some are incompatible with others.
You also level up your basic melee attack now, because it's also considered a "skill." As such it also has the same modification system. Same for your temporary barrier shield, and your dodge skill.
Passives have mods, too. Two choices per passive, usually out of 3-4 options.

All the Masteries synergize with one another very well. A lot of thought was put into dual-classing this time around, since it was added from the start, rather than just tacked on with an expansion pack.

Your skill points are segregated into three types:
Divinity Points which are used only to add more levels to a mastery. Unlike TQ1 there are no stat bonuses from doing so, but that may change later on.
Active Points: These are for your active skills, and auras.
Passive Points: These are for your passives.

You get 1 DP, 2 AP, and 2 PP per level. But you also are granted these points from completing quests or absorbing Titan Ichor.

>>717291865
Yeah probably true, devs do like to ruin any fun anyone is having.

>>717287012
That DPS includes every single fucking shard. The way the game calculates data is a bit Jewy.

>>717278632
>>717278085
what's wrong with character faces?

>>717292091
Not really each shard crit for like 1700 damage

>>717292836
They all look awful like really bad.

my wife is kawaiii dèsu ne

>>717292981
thats a mans face

>>717293018
no its not

I don't know if most of you fuckers are lying about playing the game and there being only six hours of content or if you're just blitzing it. I've been playing for almost twelve hours and still haven't reached the end yet.

>>717277703 (OP)
restart, also how high level do you need to be for that hippo boss? she’s fucking my ass i’m lvl 18

>>717293996
how? do you just un around the map grinding?

>>717293996
both of my chars took around 5-6h for the story, but then i went to clear side quests and farm bosses a while. 15+h on steam now

>>717278632
>>717282169
this is how i did it
i find penetration useless because you fire 18 missiles and most of them apply ailment, and when chill procs you are doing aoe damage with each missile

>>717294268
I'm just going through the whole map unfogging it as I go. Don't tell me you people beeline it for quest markers.

Will they add more skills to the game? I'm really bored of the lacking amount of spells in arpgs nowadays.

homing 1/3 and 2/3 into infused shard*
pic was unfinished

>>717294672
I did everything in the game in 5 hours

>>717294601
This is nice for clear if you have a reliable method of freeze. Unfortunately the tooltip DPS includes the frost explosions, which doesn't do anything against bosses

>>717294686
Yeah there are still more masteries to come

>>717294601

>>717294815
Not different masteries. I mean for the one already implemented. Is that all there is for Storm already for example?

>>717294963
no there will be a final tier with the better skills

how do i know if spell rage is in effect?

>>717295072
Thank god - let me know when so I can pirate it.

>>717277703 (OP)
not being able to rebind alt killed me desire to play further

>>717295343
I bet they don't add them until they made the other masteries

guys i want this game so much is it fun

>>717296229
Yeah it's fun, just needs act 2 and then it'll have a decent amount of content

>>717295129
Look at your spell's DPS, acquire rage, compare whether your spell's DPS has changed or not

we dont need an act 2, we need endless shit to do. only women care about muh stories. its wasted fucking effort. i couldnt give less of a fuck going through some ebin cave to do an ancient ritual and have a witch talk in a retarded greek accent.

I ended up making every class combo, and I'm really enjoying rogue/earth (Ashstalker). Earthquake seems like it can end up doing some crazy high damage

>>717296771
try ice shards and weep at that build

>>717287902
best should be the skeletal spawning boss, Aristomenes

>>717294096
not sure, try turn monster levels to +0 if you got it higher, makes a big difference at bosses

>>717296771
Are Titan Quest games like PoE where you destroy everything on the screen with one ability and builds are focused on some autistic ability that explodes? I prefer when I have to think a bit

>>717296742
TQ is about the adventure, the QUEST, not grinding your life away.

>>717296892
TQ 1 isn't but this currently is. I have no doubt this will be nerfed though.

>>717296916
there was 0 story in TQ. you spent 99% of the time just clicking the right side of your screen to move forward

>>717296892
not really, there is not a lot of enemies to fill the screen (usually). some skills are a bit OP now

>>717296853
Icy Shards is totally brainless and fast at clearing mobs yeah, but I find the boss damage really lacking compared to my war/rogue
>>717296892
It's way slower paced in my experience

>>717297176
chasing telkines all over the world was kino

>>717297319
I killed him in half that time at a lower level with ice shards.

>>717297176
I'm not talking about story. TQ's relentless sprinted marathon over the ancient world 'was' the adventure.

>>717297405
+5?

>>717297462
+5 what? I am on HC

>>717297531
you can use the altar in town to raise the overall level of the world

>>717297608
Oh right not tried that what does +5 do?

>>717297720
Makes the mobs 5 levels higher than you, so they drop much better loot

>>717297720
better drops, more XP, but stronger foes; very standard stuff.

>>717297720
enemies will be X levels higher than they normally are. each area has some min monster lvl.
you can also set that min monster lvl to your lvl.

both for gold. and revert-able

>>717297921
>>717297857
Oh nice can you change it back after? Also whats the max?

>>717297982
+5 is the max and yes you can change it back anytime

>>717297531
>>717297982
bosses will be much harder. maybe dont do it on HC

fucking poison explode spiders are OP on +5

>>717277703 (OP)
Nothing. The game is in early access. You did know that, right? Surely you didn't pay for a game and not check basic information like if it's finished or not, right?

>>717297976
>each area has some min monster lvl.
>you can also set that min monster lvl to your lvl
I pay for this shit then it gets undone somehow.. fucking shit game.

>>717294726
You filled out the map and everything? In five hours?

>>717298841
its really fucking buggy
what i did to not make it fail
1) press reset button, then cancel
2) level it up and stay still for like 3 seconds so the altar animation completes
3) level it up again (it will be free of charge) and stay still so the animation completes
if it fucks up just cheat in some gold to recoup the costs

>>717300749
>cheat in some gold
how

>>717278085
Why are you playing as a girl?

>>717277703 (OP)
>What are you supposed to do once you finish Act 1
Regret your purchase and wait for 0.3 for poe2

I don't like that they dumbed down the mastery system.

>>717301585
At least you actually acknowledge her as one.

>>717277703 (OP)
nothing. wait for more content you stupid zoomer

>never play TQ1 because D2 is perfection
>play GD cuz "it's good"
>GD is garbage
>TQ2 releases with only ONE act
lol lmao
Also, static maps for this genre make the game automatic SHIT

>>717301240
cheat engine
go into a shop, input your gold amount into cheat engine, sell something so the gold amount changes, input new gold amount into cheat engine, you should have like 4 addresses now - copy them to the address list, highlight all, set the value to whatever and enjoy your haxed gold

>>717302387
ahh i didnt think of that

>>717296771
jesus that looks so fucking slow. make a build that doesn't take 5 s to kill a pack of trash mobs.

>>717302387
this didn't work for me at all when i tried it
so i ended up just importing the save file to saveeditonline and changed the value like that instead

>>717302567
Show me your level 9 character that clears trash that fast bwo

>>717299058
yeah try ice shards out

>>717301585
She identifies as a Tyrannosaur, bigot!

>>717302778
worked for me, just now

>>717297110
>TQ1 isn't
you absolutely could aoe oneshot shit for the first 5-10 hours, especially using some of the higher tier abilities that don't scale so well into lategame.

>game wont be final until end of next year
>all the masteries are completely watered down and generic compared to 1
no thank u

Diablo4 status?

>>717277703 (OP)
Shouldn't have bought this early access scam to begin with, I reckon

>>717305286
I mean it's only 20$

>>717294601
Does frost explosion start doing damage? It seems like it does fuck all for me where I'm at.

>>717278632
>>717294601
This is so generic. Titan Quest was awesome because it had all kinds of builds and skills that Diablo didn't, but this is literally identical to Diablo's sorceror ice tree. There's no reason to play it if it doesn't distinguish itself, and it clearly isn't anymore.

>>717305498
Can I play a sorc and convert all my damage to a singular type of damage, say ice, and then proceed to use only spears in diablo 4?

>>717305218
>deluxe edition of expansion is on sale
>regular edition isn't
What is the logic here

>>717305498
>Titan Quest was awesome because it had all kinds of builds and skills that Diablo didn't
i did not
>it did
post some. it was generic shit

>>717301616
Im already doing just that.

>>717305218
Doing really well actually. I enjoy being able to jump into a season, farming 1-2 weeks and then dropping the game - not being forced to no life. It's insanely good looking and really polished, combat is still the best in the genre maybe a little bit less fluid than D3.

No slutborn, no care

>>717307956
the classes look really boring. you're saying they aren't, or they play smoothly enough to make up for it, or what? i still play diablo2 to this day so i'm not trying to talk shit just really curious.

Wow, everyone is just running ice sorc, truly a deep game with a lot of customization and only one correct choice.

>>717309509
Unironic YOU issue. Spirit Born especially is probably the best class I have seen in any ARPG of the last two decades.

>>717310295
i can take that critique. thanks for letting me know. i'll do some research and see what's up.

>>717305498
You haven't played TQ1, TQ2, or any Diablo. Here's the one and only Ice attack in TQ1 with every available upgrade. In TQ2, this is Ice Shards' base effects before any modifiers.

My only gripes with the game so far are
>forced tutorial
>no Charms/Relics
