Honestly, you should give it a try. 

Yeah, they seem to be doing well.  We have this to look forward to and also the new city builder project which I hope Medierra's going to tell us more about soon.  I'm hyped for both. 

Just found out - and my reaction was the same.  Holy ...    And out later this year all being well.  Given Crate's tendency to expand on their original plan I think they've been working on this for quite a long while.

Better progress with Hyone, my Haruspex.  She's been to Chang'an, up to the Jade Palace and back to Chang'an again.  Some Djinn heroes got close to killing her, her health bar was shrinking and I was trying to hit the health potion button, wondering why nothing was happening (duh! no potions toon remember!), then switched the hotkey bar over and managed to switch off Herbal Remedy and Trance of Convalescence as well.    Had to retreat to gain some health again before bringing the last Djinn down.  Realised my idiotic mistake, fired everything back up again and carried on.

Never realised what a dearth of heroes there are that you can take screenshots of in that area.  Bandari (no), Bull heroes (no) so I've just done a couple showing that the main quest has updated.  Kill count: 37,728.





Also, anyone managed to do the Three Sisters side quest with this version of Xmax?  Iirc over on TQ.net there was mention that the heroes for that don't spawn so not worth picking the quest up.  I tried it a couple of times, but they didn't spawn for me so I moved on.

Oh yes, all the masteries can be mixed - no problem there.  Also has staves and spears too, as well as some of the other TQ gear. 

Yeah, I'm annoyed - Zantai's teased us with a MAJOR announcement which I won't find out about until tomorrow evening at the earliest since I'm about 6 hours ahead of the US East Coast.  That means I've got to wait ALL DAY to find out!    Zantai wouldn't have written MAJOR if it wasn't major.  Much as he likes to drive us crazy, he does choose his words carefully.

And blew it with Valdis.  Tried going after the healing Gorgon Sisters first to get them out of the way and I assume got stunned (or stuck not sure) and then just watched the health bar expire without being able to do anything about it.  So he's out of the challenge at L19.  Should have stuck with patience and a bow.  Final kill count: 11,529.

Is this with cloud saving or local saves?  If local, then they're stored in My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest Immortal Throne\SaveData and won't disappear unless you delete that folder too.  It's pretty easy to make a backup of it as well - just put it on an external drive of some kind.  I use a UBS key for mine.  Both Steam and GOG access the same local saves so even if you uninstall Steam the file will still be there.  The only way to delete it is if the uninstallation asks if you want to delete that folder or if you do it manually.

Welcome to the forum. 

Tried another Ranger for the no kill challenge and got as far as L9 when, during game nightime, managed to inadvertently shoot a satyr.  Started again, transferred all the stuff over from the first Ranger and then again managed to inadvertently kill a skeleton at L5 while I was looking at my character's stats.    It's not my day today.
