Title: A little "hello"; current build list & progress
Post by: Torstein159 on 16 March 2019, 22:33:17: |'>'|//
Hi again, I finally decided to give this forum-thingy a try, mostly to share my chars and ideas :p
"Torstein" works, but feel free to refer to me as "Tor".

I started playing TQ around the time AE came out, and after a long break, and the loss of previous save files, I gave Ragnarok a try in June last year, and continued regularly since then. Standing strong at 2000h+ as of right now. This time around I've tried to be more creative with what I'm making, but there are some exceptions to that ^^;
Haven't used any mods for a long time, but rn I can't live without 6-players difficulty (for both leveling and farming/mp) and occasional use of massbosses.

I'm currently partaking in the creation of WNG's Shadow Champions mastery mod, and I'm really looking forward to showing my progress from there as well, once the project is complete :>

Ah, I'll be sure to update regularly. The plan was actually to have at least one of each class between my friend and I, so if we merge her toons in, then there are only about 13 classes to go. Not sure we'll go through with it, because the thought of making a conqueror or a harbinger gives me an existential crisis.

Haven't updated my progress for a while, but then I'm always changing which characters I'm playing plus been playtesting GD's new expansion since last August. Means I haven't played much TQAE for months.

Seems more like a life-long commitment rather than a challenge heh

Post by: Medea Fleecestealer on 18 March 2019, 06:56:15: Well, yeah it does sort of turn into that. :) But you're a good way on to actually completing it from the looks of things.

Post by: Torstein159 on 23 April 2019, 17:32:32: Tornado the prophet has finished her journey, so I'll get around to making the build post soon, after some more testing/ farming for a better coat of the chosen. Quite an enjoyable toon, although I rarely see ppl play this class for some reason. Not sure how she would compare or be different hmmmm.

Switched the idea for ranger, so instead of being ultra bizarre, I'll make her only use green/MI items, a nice change of pace I guess ^^
It also means the items might change often whenever I stumble upon better mi, welp, that's for later, speedy leveling now.

Who would have thought that Tor is actually... actually..... a Harbinger :')
Coming soon, just finished epic.

I recall your comment about onslaught, since at some point i had plans for using a staff with it, so i must have read it before.

This too, could be more of a for-fun idea, to just look similar to my avatar, but hopefully it will keep doing a good job in legendary too, just as it has been so far.

why all your toons begin with Tor ?
why have you banished to the void ... a champion ?

Good question, uh. I just love making puns with 'tor' and putting/seeing it everywhere, i guess x)
The harbinger is blessed with a beautiful name - Tordemort
And i have a backlog of about 16 more names for the future ;)

About champ... I dont know why it happens, but its my "maze-runner", and after repeating this one area over, and over, and over, the stutter/freeze gets longer and unbearable. In the maze itself there are a few stutter-places, normally its barely distinguishable, but with this one it got to like 3 sec lag on each spot. Talking to npcs - stutter, picking up objects - stutter. I'll try to make a gif/video showing it later.

Actually you can see it a bit in my video on the post here: https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=909.msg10366#msg10366

This I mean, imagine the stutter being 50% longer

Post by: Torstein159 on 30 June 2019, 13:22:27: Harbinger has finished her journey in act 5, not sure if I'll bother with atlantis. It's very satisfying when a silly idea or a themed build actually works, is viable and fun :>

I always look forward to the upgrade quest, the rng is with me today, but I'm not so sure yet what to do with this beauty (volcanic of havoc):

I geared my ranger to legendary, still in the idea of using only green items, she's looking pretty unique, isn't she:

That said I'll try to pump out the harbinger build showcase this upcoming week. Cheers~
