I was just wondering if anyone here played Titan Quest?

Yes I do. Got a level 52 oracle - this char rocks. :D

i play titan quest from time to time...but no big deal. its nice but nothing special....nothing can beat diablo :twisted:

nice graphics anyway...

Nope. It killed an X1900XT (at least, Titan Quest is the only thing I can pin it down to) when I tried it out, so I've left that game alone. :(

Tried my best to play it a few times, but never got anywhere seeing as everything just screwed up after a few minutes, not being able to complete quests, graphics dissapearing etc.

Sold it again.

the game is highly unstable , to the extent where if you dont patch it , the game is near unplayable D:

Fortunately I never discovered any bugs and crashes. Everything worked perfect. Although I know that many people had serious problems with Titan Quest. I just like it yet. :)

How wierd. I havn't had any issues at all with it. I just can't wait to test it out on my new computer that I'm getting tomarrow!

Same here, Wife and I have both played since release and never had an issue with any of the patches. I have several characters but my highest level, 51, is a Druid. Specializes in Ice Shard spamming :)

My wife and I play a pretty nice duo. She's an Spellbinder (Defense/Spirit) and I'm a Summoner (Nature/Earth). I have Heart of Oak and Fire Enhancement, and she uses Deathchill and Battle Awareness. She summons the Lich and I have the Core Dweller. Her char is the "boss killer" she summons The Outsider and goes into Colossus while I sit back and use Healing spells mostly. I'm more useful getting to the bosses since I have a very high level Volcanic orb. Suffice to say Normal mode was no match for us:) Still fun to play though.

I was definitely more into Diablo 2 but only because the overall theme of Titan Quest doesn't capture me as much. Half the fun for me is finding cool items in games like this and I'm definitely more into Medieval styling then this "toga" type equipment. I much prefered the fully armored look of the Diablo 2 characters. I do think TQ's dual class system is much more interesting though. Allows for a lot of customization and with the ability to changes your skills (for a price) at any time it makes sure you don't outright nerf your char, which was possible in Diablo 2.

Fun game, I definitely tell anyone I know who was into Diablo 2 to pick it up... now if only I could stop playing Company of Heroes long enough to finish Legendary with my Druid :P

Yeah it's really fun. Only thing that sucks is my old computer crashed and so I lost all my characters. I gotta start all over again... :cry:

Yeah, I've been playing it and I've had a pretty good luck with no crashes. I'm only 1/3 the way through the whole game (just finished it on novice)

I just started another Attack / Defence charatcher.

played it for about 2 hours and then got bored with it.

My oracle char at lvl 51. My equipment is not very good, but this ghost/storm combo is quite good to play. :)

ho ho ho....it starts with screenshots and at the end, everyones want to be the best and thread closed :twisted:

Sorry, I just wanted to show my favourite char. I've tested six different chars and this one was the easiest to handle throughout the game. This may strongly depend on your way of playing but in genereal I think mages die not so often as melee chars.

Titan Quest is heavily biased towards mages. The new patch (1.2) made things a bit easier for melee and toned down the power of the Spirit Ternion (spelling) attack. I started an Oracle when I first started playing but was just too easy, that's when I switched to Druid (not much better but wasn't as bad as the Oracle). Mages in TQ though have a BIG advantage in not being so heavily reliant on equipment as you can continually boost your power by dropping points into INT and grabbing gear that augments your main attack spells.

Melee chars have it a bit rougher as they need to constantly find new gear to stay in the fight. I've only been successful with melee by supplying them with gear found by my higher level mages. Trying to do it on my own just got too frustrating.

gosh , you guys are lucky.
i got about 20 mins into the game and crashed , reloaded and crashed again , reloaded and my char had been deleted.
=/

after i installed the patch it was fine tho.

Thats exactly what my impression was. The most playable melee char for me was the hunter/nature combo with specialisation on spear/healing. I tried a fighter/defender too but wasn't sucessful. The char died too often since he was to slow and had to stay in close combat against overwhelming majorities....and ranged fighters. :(

My highest level melee char is a Summoner build. I play a Mage Based Summoner with my wife and thought the skills would translate well to Melee so I made another one. I've focused all my stat points in STR and mainly use a Mace or Axe since I don't have much dex. I have Heart of Oak and Fire Enhancement on at all times. I also summon the Core Dweller, 3 Wolves (I have the Warden set giving me enough +1 to call for an additional wolf) and the Nymph. Hard to deny that type of fire power and since I dive into the battle with the summons they are always getting the benefits of the Fire Enhancement. Works well.

I've also played an Assasin whom I had to re-spec and get rid of dual wield in favor of some crowd control skills. My fav char who is still low level though is a dual wielding Thane (Warfare/Storm). I plan on using the Energy ball to stun and then diving in with two swords.

I love/hate this game. I loved it when it was working, but then it crashed and I lost my level 30 something character. I was almost done with the Orient too.

I plan on returning to it, but I just haven't had the drive to play it after the last debacle.
