State of the Game - Week 1
Update from Max about Early Access launch.
Check out our Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch to get the latest development news and updates.
Hello Torchlight adventurers,
Every launch of an online game brings with it the certainty that everything that could go wrong, will. And Torchlight III didn't disappoint! The crowds streaming in had the predictable effect of overwhelming our servers and exposing the breaking points that our Beta didn't touch. But, 36 hours of the heroic effort by our server team restored order and thousands of players are now finding loot and vanquishing monsters left and right. Even though we're in Early Access, where the whole purpose is testing and fixing, we fully understand players’ frustration when they can't play. But, thankfully, we quickly regained our footing and can now do what we are really here for - listening to our players and steering the remaining months of development according to their feedback, desires, and fixing the bugs they find. Going forward, in the coming weeks and months we will be adding our third act, our contracts and fame systems, and our all-new unannounced end game feature. We hope the players enjoy the journey with us, and we thank them for their support and their valued feedback.
With that in mind, we also wanted to update you on the most frequently reported and critical issues. There are other bugs and problems, but here are the few we have heard the loudest and are working to resolve them:
This is an ongoing battle that we will continue to improve upon. If you continue to have major connection issues, please send us the following to feedback@echtra.net:
