I was just going to post that botebote77.  I've just been told about it in the GD discord.  Seems Nordic have plans for something to do with the game.  :)

We are very eager to work together with our community on this and cannot wait to see what input YOU have about the new patch and things that we have added/changed.

Not likely.  ;)

Yep, sounds like a big patch, not a new game. Same old game that we love :)

"due to us working on a major new build that is going to change quite a few things..."

"cannot wait to see what input YOU have about the new patch and things that we have added/changed..."


Its not a simple patch, and as i remenber last time they did closed beta was before AE version went live.

What im guessing:

-Improved QOL

-New content ( itens areas ?)

-Skill rebalance

-Iten balance

-New game mode ?

I'm getting mixed feelings about this now.. they might just ruin an already great game

if they're going to add items,
please no guns
no more stupidly OP items (corselet of freyja, giant's tooth)
caster off hand items? yes pls
2 handed melee weapons? yes pls

no additional damage types
i like the simplicity of TQ more than grim dawn's (aether? chaos? what's the difference?)

another act would make it very long

i think I'm fine with the skills as it is now

another mastery would be welcome

duhhhh just make TQ2 pls

Official hardcore mode would be greatly appreciated :)
Offhands + wands as botebote said - a dream come true
Imagine if they add mounts... :D
Edit: I hope my "Enhanced Gameplay" becomes obsolete

This is great news !

I wouldn't bet on a new act though, the game in one difficulty mode is long enough.
On the other hand, beta testers may be needed for a new mastery due to the complicated interactions with other masteries. I hope so.

Hardcore mode, offhands, two-handed weapons, mounts, all good ideas  :D
I cross fingers.

Man, I wish for an advanced item filter.

Especially after seeing the Grim Dawn v1.1.0 preview... ;)

Would be great if it included an item revision, so many rangarok items are op and a lot of the vanlla games items are terrible (but have great artwork). Other than I hope they manage to optimize some of the ragnarok area transitions and fix the minor things like MI's not dropping in legendary some items are in the loot table but don't seemt o drop anywhere, etc. Stoked for this!

One thing I hope they improve is the artwork on the Ragnarok items.

They're OK in game, but when you see them in store, or in the inventory they look, sorry to say that, awful.

An aesthetic improvement overall of the game would be very welcomed, as well as an overhaul of the items. Not to make them overpowered, but fair and balanced.

A new mastery would be great.

Guns, to me, is a no go, mainly because of the thematic of the game. Ancient Mythology.

I wouldn't oppose two-handed weapons. Definitely something a lot of people want to see.

Maybe the will upgrade the maestries tree. Like 32 to 40 point max. And add new skill or modifier for the the old one spreading the skill more. Or they can make something similar to grim dawn but instead of constellation we will have bless from the gods. So you chose to pray to Zeus your skill can add electric/electrical burn damage to your attacks. You chose efestos you will have bonus to armor and shield, Ra give fire/burn damage ecc.

Devotion system is something that dont fit in TQ right now, GD is very diferent then TQ, they need to complety change all game to make more difficult and balanced. Maybe in TQ2.

I personally wouldn't mind something like a talent system, based on greek astrology/constelations. But many people are used to the old way and will complain.

Wish at last they update/improve the maestries. More skill like in the old underlord mod. Just some modifiers will be cool. Like for example warfare, why dont make some modifier for change the damage output? Bleeding dont work on undead , automations ecc so a skill modifier for warwind (for example)  can change the bleeding damage in elemental damage. Or something simpler like minor damage but hit more enemies. Or some totally new skill. For me defense lack a passive/active skill that increase health regeneration flat and %. Spirit will need IMH more minions aside like king. Make some skelly warrior or a skill that let you rise a spectral   versions of a dead monster of that area you are now travel.

Applications are now closed.  They'll let the successful applicants know over the coming week.

Promising news, moreso because of the added application process for testers - not just another balancing patch but something more substantial it seems.

I'd wager QoL features will be added, like auto cast instead of click target to cast :P
2019 is going to be a good year for Titan Quest guys!

Actually,the developer who posted the announcement clearly stated that they are looking for people with experience in the game.If it would have a new game they could have recruited anyone...well,not really,since I imagine they will want the new game to have similar mechanics(and hopefully a similar engine),so they would still need TQ veterans.Nevertheless,this could be a huge patch or a new dlc.
I personally hope that they will add more endgame content,new weapon types(two-handed swords is a popular examle),add more side areas and extend the masteries to 40 or 50(of course,that will mean they would have to increase the level cap to 100).
Title: Re: Closed Beta Program
Post by: sauruz on 11 February 2019, 18:21:13
it will maybe change some things ,not sure if they wil bring a new hit game mechanics like 2nd weapons.. etc

Well, we actually dont know right, maybe we all are wrong :)

We'll just have to wait and see what they come up with.  :)
