Welcome back stormyboy.  Yeah, a lot of people seem to be disappointed with D4 and are coming back to TQ and GD.

Did you see the news?  We're getting Titan Quest II!

Hey happy to see this announcement from TQII, I can't wait for the release of this game. Do you know Medea If there will be a real hardcore challenge implemented like it is done in other similar games ? apparently , there is a community here.

Besides, I think I will do one last try in the Xmax challenge before the release of TQII. I deleted all my geared characters for a fresh start. Usually my runs were twinked. Thus, I have a question about your untwinked rules: since a single Typhon is okish for self-found farming runs, if I decide to farm Typhon without Xmax to find decent gear, before doing it with X-max with the same char, does it fall into the twinked or untwinked category ? I don't mind either one, I just want to fit with the challenge rules.

I think they did say there would be.  Certainly you'll be able to adjust the difficulty.

"Info: The game will have adjustable difficulty settings.
Follow-up: We have an in-game ritual system that will allow you to manipulate the level of enemies (and thus the loot they drop). This will give you a greater challenge and also more reward via higher level item drops. You can also revisit prior areas and get valuable loot exclusive to those areas, so long as you opt in to increase the difficulty, or to raise the minimum level to your own."

That's good to know. I've seen some videos of TQII and it already looks very advanced. It seems that an early access is planned for this winter. As for me, I won't participate because I prefer to taste the magic of the story in a polished game. But I would happily read feedbacks from experienced players on this forum
