 Hello, this is Buona from Buona.TV and today I want to talk about Torchlight Frontiers. Formerly known as Runic Games, which made Torchlight 1 and 2, they have formed a new company called Extra which is under perfect world entertainment. Torchlight Frontiers is currently in closed alpha and it's in the third round of closed alpha and the good news is that it's no longer under NDA so we can share gameplay footage and talk about it at the same time. The differences between Torchlight 2 and Torchlight Frontiers is that Torchlight Frontiers is going to be a full MMORPG or should I say MMOARPG. Marvel Heroes, anyone? Anyone? The closed alpha consists of two different classes. The first is called a Dusk Mage and the other is called a Forge, Forgeda with a D. Dusk Mage essentially is a mage class as you probably guessed but it has dark and lightness powers. I've never used this class yet but I'm probably going to play it next. But the one I'm going to be playing in the video or that you're watching right now is the Forge class. It is a robot race if you will that builds up steam power and has a bunch of physical and ranged attacks and explosions. Sounds pretty good. Given that this game is an MMORPG you can expect to have a lot of quests and a lot of co-op capabilities to partner with others. As you travel throughout the world you'll see people doing things and you know accomplishing tasks much like you did in other MMORPGs. I think what's going to separate this game from previous torchlights is the Fort system. The Fort is your own personal area if you will that you can customize, add items, remove items, purchase items, set up shops and do a bunch of the things that you did, things like Albion Online and other games where you can set up private islands, Crowfall comes to mind as well, Ultima Online, all kinds of things. You can build these custom vendors and it's a pretty cool system that allows you a lot of freedom. You can essentially go into your fort and remove everything that they have in the pre-built and just start over and build whatever you want. Naturally in a grindy game like this there's going to be a lot of items that you can grind in the actual world that will make up this fort in order to upgrade it. Now there's a bunch of things you can also do with the tables that you craft items or upgrade abilities with based on your class and these are also tied to items that you find in the world which are called skill points and they're not necessarily points that are one-to-one mapped to a skill unlocked. Some of these skills may require hundreds of skill points to unlock in your fort. So given that an already beautiful loot system that was in torchlight 2 with the different classes and the stats and your pets which you can go to town and sell items for you, I can't tell you how many times I've played an action RPG and I'm like man I wish I had a torchlight pet which could take all these items back to town and salvage or sell them. And now the good ol' doze is back, the dog is back, you could also have an owl palka or a owl or an owl and you can send those pets back to town to sell your items and they come back and fight with you. They have their own gear. It's just really cool stuff from torchlight. Now the beautiful thing about torchlight frontiers is that this closed alpha doesn't have an end date. It's going to continue straight through to beta so if you get access you can play this game all day every day which is quite possible. It's a very addicting formula that anyone who has played torchlight 1 or 2 can attest to and tell you that yeah basically this game can consume your life if you let it. Sign up today at torchlightfrontiers.com for the alpha and if you get in like I said you can just keep playing until your fingers fall off.
