火炬之光2 Torchlight II Beta Test Open

[Aether]

收到测试邮件，这帮人终于打算要在暗黑3正式测试以前推出火炬之光2的测试版，难道是想乘暴雪没有反悔时间的时候狠狠地给来一下么。

可以娱乐下，不过毕竟不大制作，该玩暗黑的还是玩暗黑，暗黑文化在那。

现在还可以申请测试吗？对火炬之光2很期待

楼上说的有道理，暗黑有非常多忠实的老玩家在那里。或许有一天当我突然连不上战网的时候会去试着玩一下这个山寨版、

TL2 和 D3 区别还是很大的。
Why didn't they release it before Diablo 3 is released and crushes their company?
官方回复
Runic doesn't see Diablo 3 as a problem for Torchlight 2's existence, for multiple reasons. Here are a few:
1. Diablo 3 is online only and costs 60 dollars, while Torchlight 2 has Single player, LAN, and Peer-to-peer connections, and only costs 20 dollars
2. Torchlight 2 supports mods, with the developer's own tools to be released shortly after the game is released. Diablo 3 cannot be altered in any way without getting a ban for battle.net
3. Torchlight 2 has many more traditional systems, with stat points, skill points, identify scrolls, etc. Diablo 3 has no skill or stat points, has a completely different skill system, and multiple other differences from traditional ARPGs. (This is not saying one is better than the other, only that the gameplay styles are different)
4. Torchlight 2 has only been in production for about 2 years of development time, with less than 35 developers to create, while Diablo 3 has taken over a decade and requires huge teams of developers and budget. This means Torchlight 2 doesn't need to make as much money as Diablo 3 to turn a decent profit.
