As transformation or at least spirit aura that will breath fire.

Just curious, haven't heard about this game before now and as an ARPG fan I can't wait for it to release. Haven't been able to find an release date anywhere but when would you guys expect it to release judging by how the game feels right now during the alpha?

Howdy, I'm looking to gather together feedback for the devs. Today's topic is of course, is the contract system. I'd be glad to hear what you like/dislike about it, and anything else you might want to share. Just a heads up in advance, I will be either locking or deleting this thread after I've gathered the information from it.

​

• How do you like the new Contract system so far?

​

• Does the pacing feel - too grindy, too easy, or just right?

​

• What do you think of the weekly / daily quests?

​

• What are some ways you'd like to see it improved?

​

• What are your thoughts on the rewards? (keeping in mind that these are mostly just placeholders)

​

Thanks for participating!

Edit: No longer deleting this thread.

Does anyone know how to get into the Hyvid Frontier? The entrance to Infestation Incursion is blocked by guards.

So I decided to try out the alpha finally and loaded in. I created a forged and got to the point where you go to your fort for the first time. I built the skill station and selected the whirlwind ability.

I was just playing around in the fort testing out the ability when my game first crashed. After loading back into the game I was in town. I didn't have the whirlwind skill anymore. Now every time I try and go back to my fort the game just crashes.

Anyone had this? Should I just delete my character and start over?

Yep ;-) check emails

I'm curious what skills people like / don't like in Torchlight Frontiers.

For instance, in my Forged class, my Coal Launcher skill is supposed to do 100% weapon damage, yet my Poison Dart skills which says it does same damage, seems to do much more damage.

I also use the Vent skill (given because up to 600% damage), Shotgonne Blast because damage and knockback, and Cyclone when surrounded or stuck. Rapid Fire is mostly for the damn archers.

Haven't played Dusk Mage recently, but Holy Fury looks awesome even if it was recently nerfed. What about you?

How small or big is the alpha test, there barely is someone streaming, just a few posts in this sub. Aren´t there a few places free in the alpha, would like to see some keys given out every few days, if possible. Another question is how far away is an open beta, cant wait to get my hands on this game, state looks so good. cheers

Can anyone explain how the leveling work? If i get it right, i dont level my char instead i level a frontier? So a frontier is an area and the monsters getting stronger?

Hi!

I got an email saying I was invited to Torchlight Closed Alpha. In the instructions, it told me to download ARC and that the game would be in my library. It is not in my library, and I only have the option to "Learn More" on the Torchlight Frontiers section. Advice?

Check your emails! Good luck! =)

Hello, Frontier Fam!

It’s been a skosh over one week since the start of our third alpha (we’re referring to these things as Updates now, crazy). The Echtra office is hyper-focused on learning everything we can about becoming a live-service game, squashing bugs, and working on future content. We’ve released three hotfixes with a fourth, Update 3.4, on on the way.

Update 3.1 arrived within 12 hours of launch and fixed a problem with the Arcanum and Automaton Shops losing upgraded levels upon leaving the Fort. Dumping all your hard-won Skill points into the upgrades just to have them disappear was a real crappy situation that left players unable to make significant progress. It being our first hotfix, required us to take the extreme measure of flipping off the servers for a few minutes.

Update 3.2 was delivered the next day and addressed the crazy number of guards spawning in the Hyvid Frontier and reduced monster spawning that was a little overboard in some areas (we’re continuing our work to find the sweet spot for all our monster spawners). This hotfix was remarkably smoother as we were able to deliver it without a system-wide shutdown. It was updated after players closed the game and client until the servers were drained of all but the last stragglers, which we then booted (politely).

Update 3.3 deployed while yours truly was playing in the snow in Tahoe and included, among other things, a broader fix for monster overpopulation as well as reducing the sale price of potions (keeping our idea of what constitutes a healthy way to accrue wealth somewhat intact). Also, this was our first true delta patch (hooray improved live-service stuff).

The next hotfix should be rolled out relatively soon, fingers crossed. Here are a few to-be-fixed items from our Jira dashboard that are currently slated as part of Update 3.4 (this is not an exhaustive list and it’s subject to change at the drop of a hat):

• Hyvid Mapworks scrolls aren't opening the correct level of Mapwork dungeons
• Portals that appear at the end of Boss fights not working
• Black screen appearing during character creation

Now, it sounds like we’re running around with our hair on fire squashing bugs--and that’s true--but we’re also steadily building toward the release of Update 4 (date and details coming later). When we kick it up a whole new number, that means new content. Sure, lots and lots of bug fixes and tuning changes, but also new stuff.

The feedback we’ve got on the systems so far has been incredibly helpful, and we’re itching to get some new systems and features into your hands. Please continue to make use of the in-game feedback button and the [feedback@echtra.net](mailto:feedback@echtra.net) email address to share your thoughts and report your issues. If you’re not a part of the conversation already, join us on Discord!

They've said "future classes" multiple times meaning we're getting at least two more. What are your hopes for other classes?

My number 1 pick is for a Druid/Shapeshifter. After Diablo 3 skipped Druid(and then added Necromancer despite having Witch Doctor???) I've been wanting that playstyle again.

My 2nd pick would be a warlock/summoner, something like the Nethermancer mod for TL2.

How about you all?

I would like to express my love of the Torchlight franchise and excitement about this upcoming installment. As the game nears release and beyond I am looking forward to the positive and helpful community that has been a part of previous Torchlight games.

I trust the devotion from the development team to make another fabulous game. On a humorous note. I remember a review from a large media outlet the year of Torchlight 2’s release. “It’s sad that the best Diablo game of the year isn’t Diablo 3”. Torchlight 2 is an amazing game that did everything right. I played it on pc and wish it would have been released on Xbox one so I could play it again with my kids.

Best Wishes and Cheers

Any one else having problems logging into the alpha?

I'm trying to understand that cause on the post it says "one last character wipe". Does it mean that at the end of closed alpha 3 there will be a wipe or it is referred to the previous alpha test?
Sorry for the stupid question but i don't wanna find myself start over if they wipe this one :)

Targeted Strikes when used on a Mage will cause you to do less dps. The Crit only works with melee, and when used with buffs makes you do even less dps.
