ITEMS & GEAR

Fixed a small chance of Scrolls of Unbinding dropping.
Reduced chance of Scrolls of Lifebound dropping from champions, bosses and chests from 1 in 6 to 1 in 12.
Fixed common pet tags spawning without affixes (other than enchanting slots).
Addressed issue with digitus description saying it still limited targets hit.
Fixed a few cases that could cause non-lootable item drops.
Scroll of Lifebound no longer indicates that legendary items are valid targets.
Set the following legendary weapons to only drop at level 60: Herman's Masterwork, Molten Reach, Panoptifist, Head of Blastbutt, Soulflask, The Tenderizer, Berserk Crusher, Wingspan, Firewall, The Holy Icon, Bonerazor, Maestro's Sword.
Fixed a typo in affix data that could lead to helm or shoulders having evasion affixes with upwards of 90%. The evasion trait is hard-capped at 40%.
Fixed issue where skills in the Legendarium are not saved if the player presses escape out of the legendarium menu before hitting equip.
Fixed issue with Dusk Mage Molten Reach tentacles that deformed during the idle animation.
Increased the defense affixes by 10% so you can get better damage mitigation.
Fixed secondary pet gear affix spawning.
Fixed so you can use the Scroll of Lifebound on Pet Collars and Pet Tags.
Fixed pet collars and tags not being able to be disenchanted.
Corrected the valid classes for the rare Goblinstalker pants.
Updated Mapworks portals to properly say Mapworks Dungeon Portal.
Fixed issue where Lifebound items from the stash are displayed on the death screen after the playable character dies.
Lifebound scroll quest rewards no longer display using the wrong material.
Improved a confusing issue where optional/repeatable side quests (specifically "Defense Boost") immediately restarts after completing the quest while still in the area. The quest now requires that you leave the area before it can be restarted again.
Fixed ‘Musketeer Cavalier Hat’ that was named ‘Musketeer Gloves’ when dropped from monsters or chests.
Fixed so that Act 1 monsters reliably drop health potions, Act 2 monsters provide antidote potions and Act 3 monsters provide polarized potions.
Fixed some issues with Snecko Stick's missile targeting.
Replaced the very specific mapworks scroll bundles with bundles that give you one each of Blazing, Venomous and Voltaic map scrolls, but now the positive affixes on those scrolls is rolled from a number of different beneficial affixes.
Low level magic gear should now drop with the terracotta and tan colored gear instead of the bright red.
Addressed issue with Digitus description saying it still limited targets hit.
Quest rewards now deliver random fort decorations from Contracts loot pool, instead of the random fort plans. This will prevent the player from receiving duplicate copies of fort plans as rewards.
Increased the general potion drop project from normal monsters by 20% (which decreased by that amount the gold drops).
Removed the +20% potion luck from Normal and Hard difficulty levels, Reduced the +30$ potion luck on Painful to +10% potion luck, reduced the +40% potion luck on Ridiculous to +20%.
Increased the weighted chance that potion drops from luck will happen at lower levels, flattening out at level 10.
Scaled down all of the focus items in the player's hands.
Legendarium affixes now apply set bonuses correctly.
Wideload's Shield Bag consumable now drops directly into your inventory if there is enough room.
Reduced the chance that Scrolls of Lifebound drop from normal (non-champion, non-boss) monsters to somewhere between 0.25% and 2%, depending on the monster.
Removed the Scroll of Unbinding. This will no longer drop. Be careful with which items you choose to lifebind.
Scroll of Lifebound no longer indicates that legendary items are valid targets.

FORTS

Added Fazeer fort decoration and new Adventuring tab in the Functional fort edit menu.
Returning back to a fort from a mapworks area should now attempt to return you to the same fort that you left.
Fixed issue where Goblin banner is placed too low above the ground.
Fixed up UI for traveling among forts:
- If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to your fort by clicking on "My Fort".
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has your own fort in it, you cannot click on "My Fort".
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has somebody else's fort in it (like a party member), then you can click on "My Fort" to go to your fort in Trevail's Passage.
- If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to the party leader's fort by clicking on "Trevai's Passage".
- If you're in Trevail's Passage with anybody's fort in it, then you cannot click on Trevail's Passage.
- In fact, if you're in ANY place and you click on the place that you're at in the waypoint map, you cannot travel there.
- If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to your own fort
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you cannot create a portal to your fort.
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can create a portal to go to your own fort.
- If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to a party member's fort
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you can create a portal to a party member's fort.
- If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can only create a portal to a party member's fort if the fort doesn't already have that player's fort in it.
Fixed cases where trying to go to your fort would potentially take you to somebody else's fort:
- If you used the waypoint map to travel to Trevail's Passage, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the party leader's fort.
- If you were in town and used the Z portal to travel to a party member's fort, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the specified player's fort.
- If you were in a mapworks area that was generated from the fort and then died and chose to resurrect back in the world, it could have sent you to a random fort.

MONSTERS

Fixed boss despawning/respawning in Corpsefire Crypt when moving out of range.
Ordrak Breath impact damage reduced, Poison Orb damage rebuilt to not stack and instead deal damage based off of Max HP, Shockwave Stomp damage and Flame Wave damage increased.
Fixed an issue with Sadista sometimes no longer performing attacks immediately after switching to her full Netherim form.
Monsters will now react to your hits more often. Smaller, squishier monsters will react more frequently than larger monsters, but large monsters are no longer nearly immune to the hit reaction system.
Fixed an issue where it was possible to trigger Strongtusk's boss intro per player instead of for all partied players in the area.
Fix for Ordrak's dead-but-lingering poison orbs.
Fixed an issue where Nether Well projectiles sometimes exploded at the center of the Nether Well, colliding with the ground before being launched into the air.
Set all the mapworks minibosses to trigger add spawns when first engaged and at 50% health.
Added missing drop and emerge spawn skills to the various stabby goblins, added missing emerge spawn skill to the various shooty goblins.
Fixed an issue where Kronch did not spawn in the Chasm during the Nether Inkling and Tutorial: Relics quests.
Fixed issue where Electric Widow boss and Electric Spider champions were invisible with shadows off.
Fixed Netherim Brute and Netherim Spellbreaker type bosses that were failing to spawn. This also expands the variety of spawn types that these monsters can use, which will lead to them being able to spawn in more levels, potentially with some visible clipping for now, but the increase in variety is preferred.
Fixed fame not dropping from champions or bosses.
Fixed an issue where the player can distinguish a Mimic from a normal chest by using any spell on the chest.
Set the right boss death sequence for the Act 3 random encounter bosses.
Set the death sequence for Krrank, random Challenge Dungeon miniboss.
Gave all of the major bosses, who normally do not have random affixes, a text-only affix under their health bar, moved their titles to that spot.
Fixed the Thunderthighs boss fight in the Archive to have the right add monsters, at the right times.
Fixed issue with Custodian automata in Assembly Line that may stop attacking the player or not attack them at all.
Fixed issue where Clockwork Core's boss area does not have a Pet cage.
Fixed an issue in The Chasm where the Pet Cage is placed in the middle of the Herald boss arena on a specific seed.
Fixed issue where Psora can be defeated without entering boss area after dying in boss area and reviving at the level entrance.
Fixed an issue where Chargerbug enemies can push the player into textures/out of bounds.
Fixed an issue where packs of champions sometimes claim they are massive.
Set Klatz to have the standard miniboss status effect.
Reduced the movement capsule radius of all monsters by 50%.
Fixed issue where Wideload, Chieftain of Snotskins boss is able to target the playable character outside the combat area.
Monsters on Ridiculous and Painful move faster now.
Fixed Carrion Killer, Singedwing and Sarge minibosses not having the correct death VFX, SFX or summoning adds.
Monsters will now react to your hits more often. Smaller, squishier monsters will react more frequently than larger monsters, but large monsters are no longer nearly immune to the hit reaction system.
Increased the damage on zombies. Slightly increased the pack sizes on zombies.
Fixed an issue where Nyx (and presumably other Netherim Spellbreakers) could get stuck on terrain and stay permanently invulnerable while tethering to its spawn position if the player kited it too far away.
Evasion can now appear on Armor! Currently, this is functionally the same as Block, but appears on Armor instead of Shields. In the future, this will not be the case, and these will be differentiated in function. Evasion can appear as both Primary and Secondary affixes, and is capped to 40%.
Fixed an issue where Legendary Armor's Primary affix types were not rolling properly. They now have the same primary affix types as other armor rarities, as intended.

RELICS

Reminder: The relics feature will be changed significantly in the next Mainline patch. The next wave of Relic skill fixes, tuning, and content additions players are looking forward to is bundled into that release.

General

Changed the Relic activation skill slot to be on the regular skill bar and assignable.

Blood Drinker

Fixing Blood Drinker's base activation bleed chance so the activation skill tooltip takes into account the increased bleed chance from points added.

Flaming Destroyer

Fixing broken scaling description.

Coldheart

Fixing broken scaling description.

Bane

Fixed it so all Bane spider summons can be resummoned after the player dies.

PETS

Added Buttercup, Forest, and Toasty Glittersprites. They only drop at the level cap (60). You can get them when you reach the end of a level 60 dungeon, be that a Challenge, Map Scroll, or Phase Beast dungeon.
The Aubergine Cat color variation has also been added. You can get it when you reach the end of a level 60 dungeon, be that a Challenge, Map Scroll, or Phase Beast dungeon.

CLASSES & SKILLS

General

Fixed an issue where head and hair customizations were not appearing correctly for other players.
Removed superfluous rounding numbers from the Fighter's Spirit buff.

Railmaster

Fixed an issue where removing the train while the Shield car active was activated could result in it having permanent uptime.
Disabled errant missile blocking sphere on the Shield Cart for Railmaster that was making it so player missiles were blocked.
Railmaster's Flamethrower Car, Shotgonne Car, and Mortar Car now have much more impactful Endurance Bonus effects. Try them out!
Fixed issue where Railmaster's Slammer skills displays the 'Lineage' tag.
Fixed issue with Railmaster Spike Drive displaying 'charge rate into cooldown' mechanic.

Dusk Mage

Fixed the first few levels of Energy Spike failing to cast the skill.
Fixed an issue with Entropy where the primary missile was moving too slow, and the milestone missile was moving super fast.
Dev Note: This was the reverse of the design intent as the milestones indicated. Furthermore, I increased both the overall speed of the base missile and the milestone missile to make it slightly less powerful.

Sharpshooter

Made some improvements to Sharpshooter skill procs
Changed the description for Sharpshooter's Ghost Visage skill to say that it is interrupted by attacking.
Fixed it so Sharpshooter's Shasta summon can be resummoned after the player dies.

Forged

Fixed a couple of Forged channeling skills visually animating on the client when they were rejected by the server.
Fixed an issue where Forged tails wouldn't animate on other players' machines.
Fixed an issue where Ramming Robot's tier 3 effect would sometimes not be removed.

Mainline Patch - July 21st, 2020 (Part 1)

Torchlight III - Echtra Bean

Check out our Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch to get the latest development news and updates.

Good morning frontier!

Today’s update is extremely exciting! I’ve never been more excited for a Torchlight 3 update! Until the next big one of course...

Not only is Fazeer’s Dun’djinn Challenge now available for everyone, we’re pushing updates that resolve many of the issues which have been widely reported or listed as a priority by the community.

In addition to the new end game experience, which was strongly requested by the community, we’ve updated a few other things that you might find interesting.

We’ve included a fix that should improve the rubberbanding/lag. While this might not be a complete resolution, so far this has been an improvement for many players playing on the Public Test Realm. We’re still interested in specific circumstances (party play, a specific level, skills/effects) if players see rubberbanding in future.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1602

More work has been done to adjust the 4k/UI experience.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/576

Boss not spawning in mapworks: All known locations are fixed. Keep posting (Debug info) Ctrl-D to Nolt or Discord if new locations are found.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1495

Phase Beast Portals Bugged In Act 3 have had known locations that failed to spawn return portals fixed. Keep posting Ctrl-D if new locations are found.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1338

Failed to Login, Please Wait (for crazy long durations): We now prevent excessive login backoff times from occurring.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1105

Fixed various cases where we think players have been Teleporting to different peoples areas. It’s still a bit weird that this ever happened, so continue posting client logs if this comes up after the patch.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623

When the Shadows setting was Off, some monsters did not render. This is fixed.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/298

Fixed resource nodes that stay on minimap.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/61

Massive Champ pack sizes that don’t drop loot/fame: These broken champ packs should no longer spawn.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1491

Duplicate Legendary Fort plans permanently remain in inventory: Quest and Contract rewards had some overlap which is now resolved. Players should not get new duplicates. Old duplicates can be cleaned up by transferring to a new character and deleting that character. Or keep them as a souvenir.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/94

The Fort Travel experience has also been updated. See the patch notes below for all the details.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623

You can now mute chat!
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/431

Changed the Relic activation skill slot to be on the skill bar. The Relic Activation skill defaults into this slot, and players can re-assign to any other active skill if they desire.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/990

Made force move a separate, bindable key. The default key is T. This means both "Force Move Click" and "Force Move Hold" are now available.

Mapworks scrolls have been updated with some pretty cool changes to allow for randomized positive affixes when you run them

There are also 3 new glittersprite pets.

New pets only obtainable once you reach the level 60 cap.

It’s an awesome feeling to be able to get a bunch of these issues archived in our Support Center! We are already scouring the community feedback / bug reports at http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com/ for more things to include in future updates. If you want to send logs to our team you can do so with the following information:

CTRL + D copies your Debug information to your clipboard. Logs can be found in your %localappdata%\Frontiers\Saved\Logs windows folder. Please send logs and debug information to feedback@echtra.net. You can also post logs and details to any new or existing submissions here: http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com

As another general reminder...

Our next big update is scheduled for early August and will drastically change the Relics system, add a bunch of new active and passive skills, and comes with a full account/character wipe. We will preview this update in next week’s State of the Game and Friday Funday stream on Twitch. Until then we are excited to see the community’s progression through Fazeer’s Dun’djinn Challenge and I’ll see you on the frontier again soon!

FAZEER’S DUN’DJINN CHALLENGE

The revealed end game experience has been added to the game.

One of the first questions that players ask about Torchlight 3 has always been: “what kind of endgame does it have?” It is an important question that we have dodged for long enough. Taking cues from the previous two Torchlight games, our initial ideas for endgame revolved around ideas about mapworks runs, endless dungeons, new game plus, things like that. At the same time, feedback from our closed beta players was very clearly “it had better not be just mapworks.” The things that we heard from the players was that they wanted an activity they could play forever, improve at, keep finding more cool loot, face exciting new challenges, and importantly, show off their accomplishments to others.

To meet these goals, we have created Fazeer’s Dun’djinn. For those unfamiliar, Fazeer Shah is an all-powerful djinni from Torchlight 2 that helped you save the Guardian of Mana, in exchange for retrieving the Lamp of Marvels. Doing so unwittingly freed Fazeer, granting him near-limitless power. Now, over a century later, Fazeer tires of touring the world, and wants to settle down somewhere: your fort.

Read the entire reveal for a full background on Fazeer’s lore throughout the Torchlight franchise. Here are all the details you will need to know about this big feature update!

Characters can gain access to the quest that unlocks Fazeer’s Dungeon by completing the game by defeating the last boss on Act 3.
This quest will unlock Fazeer’s throne decoration in your fort. Players can gain access to their end game progression and experience through this throne.
Each character on your account will progress independently through the Challenge levels.
Your experience is shared between all difficulties, meaning you can progress through this experience on any difficulty setting without losing your Challenge Dungeon levels. Keep in mind that your character’s shield will always show the lowest difficulty level that a character has played on.
When entering Fazeer’s Dun’djinn you will be confronted with the Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen and the Challenge Levels at the bottom of your screen.
The Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen will increase in difficulty as you progress through each set of Challenge Level cards.
Each Challenge Level card at the bottom of the screen will provide a set of Challenge Dungeon, each with information as to which elemental affix to expect, which general location/theme the Dungeon will take place in, and a randomly chosen positive and negative effect that will alter the experience for this Dungeon run.
If you fail a Challenge Level before completing the last card in a set, you will lose your progress and need to complete the Challenge Levels again.
Failing a Dungeon Challenge will also provide a new set of randomly generated Challenge Level card options that are presented to you when you choose a Level.
Your progress will be saved each time you complete a set and you can return to these previous Challenge Levels at any time.
During your Challenge Dungeon runs you will come across sets of Boss Challenge cards; completing these Challenges will ensure your progress is saved and provides another way to farm loot and revisit popular storyline villains.
You can invite up to three other people in your group to join you. Fighting with friends in Fazeer’s Dun’djinn is highly recommended as solo runs can end very quickly without an option to revive.
If you are in a group, you can progress together! Progress is saved as long as you have unlocked the end game experience and completed a Challenge Level set. Meaning, if you are in a group, starting from scratch, and decide to run the Challenge Dungeon, all of your progress for everyone in your group will be saved with each set completion. This does not mean you can skip a set of Challenge Levels; you cannot join your friend at Challenge Level 100 and expect to see the same progress in your Challenge Dungeon without completing those Levels at some point previously.
Once you clear a Challenge Level after reaching the level cap (currently 60) you will gain an additional embellishment on your overhead badge to show-off your Challenge Dungeon Level progression.
One final tip! Once you enter a Challenge Dungeon there is no escape out other than death or victory...
Go in prepared; bring friends, buy potions, gear up appropriately (wardrobes in your fort can be used to easily swap gear sets), change up your Legendarium and Pet skills (some of Fazeer’s positive/negative effects are the same ones you might see in the Legendarium, so other Legendarium options may be better suited for that run), and make sure all of your other resources available to you, like fort monuments and equipment enchantments, are as upgraded as they can be!
(Players should not fail Challenge Dungeons if they leave the dungeon - whether by crash, portal, disconnect, or otherwise.)
There are hundreds of Challenge Dungeon Levels and additional updates, rewards, and bug fixes will be coming with future patches.

GENERAL

Fazeer’s Dun’Djinn Challenge added. Players must complete the game by defeating the last boss of Act 3 and follow the steps to unlock the end game experience. See above for more details.
Fixed a somewhat rare crash on the client when a display metrics change callback ends up getting triggered during garbage collection.

State of the Game: Week 5

Torchlight III - Echtra Bean

Check out our Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch to get the latest development news and updates.

Hello Torchlight fam!

It’s officially been over a month since we released Torchlight 3 on Early Access, and while we are always excited to share the latest upcoming news, this week we wanted to take a bit of a break from our usual updates and highlight some of the other heroes that make this game possible.

Without further ado, a photo gallery and tribute of the pets, plants, and people who influence and support Torchlight 3’s development less... directly.

And while that is pawesomely adorable, we wouldn’t leave you without some sort of Torchlight 3 update or news; so in addition to the very important content above, we wanted to provide additional details about the incoming exclusive gifts. While we don’t have a specific date to mention yet, we do plan to release these gifts over the next few weeks/updates! Additionally, for those who had access (or should have) to previous Alpha/Extra Life gifts, those will be mailed out separately within the next few weeks as well.

EARLY ACCESS REWARDS

Players will receive this automatically when the gift / update is live if they purchased Torchlight 3 during Early Access.

Reignited Banner

Thank you gift for participation in Early Access, 2020.

Reliquary

Since Relics are receiving a major update, the Reliquary will no longer be used for
storing Relics. This will now become an exclusive fort decoration for those who
were around before Relics were cool...

A big shout out to all the pets, plants, and people in your life that make long days quicker, video games more fun to play, and in general, make it just a little bit easier for you to breathe each day.

State of the Game: Week 4

Torchlight III - Echtra Bean

Check out our Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch to get the latest development news and updates.

Week 4 of Early Access already!

It seems like there are a million things happening all at once. We’ve delivered the third frontier, the Echonok Mountains, we’re currently revealing our end-game system, Fazeer’s Dun’djnn Challenge, and have a major Relic re-work on the way. Your input is working - we’re responding every way we can to the amazing feedback you’ve given us. It’s not just in these big ticket items, it’s all the way down to minor bugs and tweaks. Last update had 18 internal pages of patch notes, and a lot of it was in direct response to your input. We are not done, so please keep it coming! Aside from these new features, we’re always looking at bugs, balance changes, and quality of life additions. We are aware that there are still some problems with rubber-banding, with portalling issues, and with occasional disconnects. Those are ongoing issues, and while we have fixes being delivered, fixes in QA, and fixes still planned, we know they are issues that are bothering you, so rest assured we are going as fast as we can to keep you playing at full speed. Speaking of full-speed, we are also pleased to tell you that we’ll be implementing a Test Realm, where our new content and features can be tested and proved before they are ready for our live Early Access build. This should actually speed us up, letting us work faster on new content, while also preserving the experience and integrity of the live branch. We have promised you an active and responsive Early Access, and we hope to keep delivering on that promise. You are helping us make Torchlight 3 a worthy successor to our franchise, and our development team appreciates every single one of you!

- Max

Fazeer’s Dun’djinn Challenge

One of the first questions that players ask about Torchlight 3 has always been: “what kind of endgame does it have?” It is an important question that we have dodged for long enough. Taking cues from the previous two Torchlight games, our initial ideas for endgame revolved around ideas about mapworks runs, endless dungeons, new game plus, things like that. At the same time, feedback from our closed beta players was very clearly “it had better not be just mapworks.” The things that we heard from the players was that they wanted an activity they could play forever, improve at, keep finding more cool loot, face exciting new challenges, and importantly, show off their accomplishments to others.

To meet these goals, we have created Fazeer’s Dun’djinn. For those unfamiliar, Fazeer Shah is an all-powerful djinni from Torchlight 2 that helped you save the Guardian of Mana, in exchange for retrieving the Lamp of Marvels. Doing so unwittingly freed Fazeer, empowering him with near-limitless power. Now, over a century later, Fazeer tires of touring the world, and wants to settle down somewhere: your fort.

Fazeer conjures a series of dungeons for you that escalate in difficulty, enchanted with dozens of new arduous and bewildering affixes. Fazeer is a sporting sort and will deal you a hand of challenge choices in the form of cards. From these, you can pick the monsters, elements, detrimental and beneficial affixes you will surmount. At regular intervals you must also complete a challenging boss battle to save your progress. That’s right, if you die in this dungeon, your progress will be reset back to the last checkpoint.

As players progress through each set of cards, Challenge Dungeons will become increasingly more difficult.

Successfully completing milestone Boss battles will allow you to progress to a new tier of Challenge Dungeon cards.

What about fabulous gear and rewards, you ask? The quests, champions and bosses you clear within Fazeer’s Dun’djinn will reward you with fame, which you can use to earn all of the unlimited rewards in our contracts. Fazeer’s Dun’djinn also supports party play, so feel free to grab your friends (since you can’t resurrect yourself when playing solo!) and tackle Fazeer’s challenges as a team.

Invite a group to help you traverse through Fazeer’s Dun’djinn and reap the rewards of extra teamwork.

How far can you go? How about on Painful? Ridiculous? As you delve into Fazeer’s Dun’djinn, other players will be able to see the highest level that you have cleared, at your lowest difficulty played. Just how many levels are there? Who will be the first to reach the end? Is there even an end? Surely Fazeer can just conjure more…

Relic Updates

After a closed community focus group, many chats with our fans in Discord and other channels, and reviewing some of the initial impressions we received surrounding skills during the Early Access launch weekend, we are going to make a big update to our skills - with a big focus on the Relic system. This will come in a future patch.

While we aren’t posting all the details yet (as some of them are still being developed, reviewed, and tested), we did want to provide some insight and a general overview of what we would like to accomplish with the Relic system as we move towards a launch product.

The Relic system has always been designed to be a powerful and unique part of your class build. Currently, when new players login for the first time, not only is there a strong barrier to entry to unlock this third skill tree, but it’s also not very clear that Relics are supposed to be an incredibly important part of your class build. There are also several parts of the current Relic system that cause confusion, can create a broken feel (like deleting a character with your Relic on it), and just don’t feel powerful and unique enough.

We also want Relics to have a more important role in the strategy of a character.

When Early Access began, Relics were all pretty similar, with no real attributes to truly distinguish them from each other. By the time we release this update, each Relic will lean heavily into its own strategy: summoning, healing, crowd control, random damage or consistent damage. There will be purpose and meaning to your choice. It will better define your personal playstyle and class build, and cement Relics as a core component of a character. This update to Relics will include new active skills, a revamp to current skills, and a general reinvention of each Relic to ensure each is useful, unique, and powerful.

With this in mind, we are looking to create an experience with Relics that starts with character creation. You will choose the Relic when you first create your character that will ultimately define your build as you play through the game. Ember Cores will no longer be something players loot and use to craft Relics and they will be removed from the game entirely in this update. Additionally, because of the dramatic change we plan to wipe all data on the Live servers when this update goes out in about two or three weeks. We know wipes aren’t something players generally look forward to and we don’t make this decision lightly.

When we have more specific info for this update, as well as a full account/player data wipe, we will post those details so that you are warned in advance and can be better prepared. In the meantime, we are opening up a Public Test Realm (see details below) so that players can enjoy testing out new features in development, have an alternative place to play if their account breaks during Early Access, and enjoy a more lax/loose place to test things with ‘cheat’ NPCs, more available resources, and random Yapper town battles when our community manager wants to cause trouble. We hope this will help bridge the gap for players when the Live multiplayer server is down, wiped, or otherwise unavailable.

- Tyler

Public Test Realm

Next week we are going to open up a Public Test Realm so that players can test new features in development. This Public Test Realm will only be available to US players to begin with, but we plan to update it over the next few weeks to allow everyone regardless of location. Currently the PTR is only configured with US servers and we don’t want to cause lag/rubberbanding confusion for those who attempt to connect elsewhere, especially as we are working to resolve those issues. If you do happen to find your way onto the PTR outside of the US, please understand that you may experience lag/rubberbanding because currently the PTR is only configured with US servers, we will update everyone when this has been expanded to more locations.

We will announce any updates, the steps to access the PTR, and other details pertaining to the PTR on our Discord server within the #tliii-playtest-realm channel. We plan to unlock Fazeer’s Dun’djinn to the PTR next Tuesday for initial impressions/testing - join Discord and keep tabs on the channel to learn how to gain access.

We will adjust our PTR processes as we get more input and involvement from players, but we believe providing a PTR is beneficial for both our team and the community as a whole; we are excited to see how this may help improve our future releases going forward.

As another fun note - Alpha Tester & Early Access gifts are coming soon!!!

The Early Access gift should be automatically delivered when the update goes live.
The Alpha Gift Codes are planned to get emailed out the week of 7/27 (this is subject to change).

We’ll share those details in another update!

‘Rubberbanding’ and General Lag
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1602

This symptom of spiky lag/rubberbanding, especially when playing in a party, is a problem we've encountered and solved before. With all the logs and debug information sent in, we’ve been able to more aggressively attack the issue as it’s cropped up again. The problem stems from the game sending more information to the server and other players than it should be. There is plenty of connection speed and server capacity to run the game smoothly, but if you over saturate the connection with non-critical data, the critical stuff like "where is the player" doesn't get through the pipe as reliably. So you ‘rubberband’ around. We hotfixed the worst offender for this yesterday, but there are 2-3 other spots to address which require a bit more careful surgery to ensure we're not breaking the game. The lag/rubberbanding is our top issue and priority as we know it’s important to our community and to the gameplay experience to be able to play without lag.
As always, if you continue to experience disconnects, lag, and connection issues, please send your logs and debug information (see above) to feedback@echtra.net with an appropriate title for the problem.
Australian servers are not yet available, but we still plan to bring them online in a future patch.

Luck Tree is still not available to some players who may have deleted it or had their quest break.

Not enough quest items to complete quests.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1568

We have received various reports about players who are unable to obtain the correct amount of items for some quests. While this appears to happen more readily in some seeds/areas than others, this is an issue we are aware of and will require more time to fix.

While trying to travel to or from the Fort, players report continuously DCing until they reboot or use Z to travel.
https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1430

This should no longer be happening on the live servers. The minor hotfix we put out yesterday is a partial solution to the root cause of this problem. The full fix to some of these symptoms will be deployed shortly.
