Optimizations Coming in the New Season

Greetings, Hunters of Torchlight!

We are now working on the next season of the game. We expect to introduce new content to you in the following month, which includes new skills, new heroes, season themes, and seasonal gameplay. On top of the new content, we have also focused on optimizing existing features, all with the hope to bring you a better gaming experience.

This blog will cover some of the optimizations we have been working on, most of which will go live in the new season if everything goes well.

Controller Support

We’ve been offering a PC version of the game since the third closed beta test. We know that everyone is keen to play the game with a controller, so we have added controller support in the upcoming season. You can choose your preferred mode of operation, whether on PC or mobile. However, there may still be some adaptation problems in the game. We’d very much welcome your feedback on the experience, and we will continue to optimize the game!

Robot Training: Invincible No.2

Training robots is quite a popular feature among Hunters. We have noticed from some recent community posts that many Hunters are wondering why we have attached limits to the maximum DPS they can record. Here, we’d like to share our views on that.

The last thing we want is for people to take DPS as the only standard to measure a battle style. It would be much preferred if you don’t take it as the only goal in the game, either. We encourage everyone to focus on exploring the game mechanics and character growth while forming a style, and we hope that you will look at a battle style from different angles, e.g., the controls, the smoothness of battles, the survivability, the ability to make AoE attacks and the cost of the builds.

We will continue to optimize and iterate this function. In future planning, we hope that Invincible No.2 will have more detailed recording functions, such as which skill is the specific source of damage and the exact type of damage of a particular attack… Only in this way can the optimizations help hunters grow. Of course, suppose our assessment indicates that the new season’s gameplay has higher requirements for DPS. In that case, we will also assess the upper limit of the record and make adjustments accordingly.

Info Panel

We have been striving to make all kinds of information in the game clearly presented to the Hunters, including the hunter’s attributes. So we are optimizing the calculation of DPS to bring a more detailed display to the hunter’s information panel:

  – Added the display of information on Damage Over Time

  – Added the display of Summon Skills

The old information panel mainly calculates hit damage. Now it will show more detailed information about the each builds. Though it may not be 100% accurate, we still hope this could help our hunters visualize your growth.

Others

Besides the key updates mentioned above, there are also optimizations that can greatly improve your gaming experience in details:

1. When high-tier affixes appear in the gear crafting process, you will be asked to double-confirm. That will prevent people from accidentally missing out the better crafting results;

2. If the random energy happens to be full during gear empowerment, the energy will no longer be further empowered, and the best energy result will be automatically reserved;

3. Mini-maps can now be displayed semi-transparent in the center of the screen, which will not get in the way of battles, and the Hunters will not need to open and close them from time to time for navigation;

4. Previously, if you saw a great piece of legendary gear in the Trade house, you would need to find out where it came from. The sources of drops will be available for all base items and legendary gear on the Display Panel.

5. And finally, for better eye care, you can now customize the brightness of skill effects;

These are some of the recent optimizations we have been working on, and they will all be available to you in the new season if everything goes well. Please feel free to share your opinions and feedback about the game via the community!

We will share more information about the new season with you in December, stay tuned!

Dark Surge & Next Season News

New Season

Now let’s talk about something everyone is probably more interested in — the new season. We’re working hard on the next season’s content, and the theme is “pirates” and “plunder” related. We will launch at least one new hero and two new traits for existing heroes, as well as a batch of new skills and Legendary gears.

At the same time, we’ll also bring many optimizations to the game. We’ve received a lot of feedback about the UI of the PC version and have heard everyone’s strong desire for the support of controllers. We’ll do our best to implement these two improvements in the next season. However, about adding a multiplayer mode, it will still take some time for us to develop.

Q: When will S1 end? What will happen to the account data after the season ends?

A: S1 is expected to end in January, and the new season is also scheduled to start in January. All your unlocked heroes, hero traits, Pactspirits, and appearances will carry over to the next season. They count as the shared assets of your account, so they can be used by all characters you create in the same account. However, this only applies when they are on the same server. For example, all characters created on the US server can only use assets of the account that are on the US server. Other things like Season Passes and Auction Booth Tabs will expire at the end of the season and will need to be repurchased in the new season. The characters of the Incoming Dark Surge season will be transferred to the permanent server after the new season starts. Hunters will need to create a new character to participate in the challenges of the new season.

Q: Lethal Flash and Frostbitten Heart can be exchanged with Hero Emblems in the next season. Then how can we get Thea, who is unlocked in the Season Pass, in the next season?

A: In the next season, Thea can be purchased with Primocryst. And in the season after that, Thea will be able to be exchanged with Hero Emblems.

That’s all for this developer’s log. We encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback with us through our communities, especially Discord. Torchlight: Infinite is still in the open beta phase, and we will continue to optimize and improve the game based on your suggestions and feedback. Please help us make it a better ARPG and witness the transformation of Torchlight: Infinite.

Shutdown Maintenance – November 10

Dear Torchlight Hunter:

Ember’s Rest Hideout is scheduled to undergo maintenance from 10:00 to 12:00（UTC+8） on November 10. This update will fix bugs and optimize the game, as detailed below.

Optimizations

1. Reduced HP of all monsters in Chapter 1 by 30%

2. Optimized the display effect of some card pools

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed some multilingual translation issues

2. Fixed the issue where the client would crash in some special cases

3. Fixed the issue where Youga’s Slow would take effect on Bosses that are immune to slowing effects. The purpose of this modification is to resolve the issue where Youga would die while hiding under the Barrier during the battle with Keegan

4. Fixed the issue where players could not claim sign-in rewards in some special cases

5. Fixed the issue where gears could not be found due to the incorrect positioning of some affix parameters in the Advanced Search

6. Fixed the issue where the legendary gear Corrupted Marrow could not increase Movement Speed

7. Fixed the issue where the legendary gear Last Barrier would lose all buffs when its last affix is corroded

8. Fixed the abnormal stats of the legendary gear Oversight in some special cases

That was all the update coming to Torchlight: Infinite on November 10. Thank you for your patience.

Update Principles

After the launching of Torchlight: Infinite, we’ve followed three principles with regard to the update frequency:

1. We roll out major updates on a seasonal basis, mainly to balance and adjust important systems such as skills, gear, heroes, talents, and drops.

2. We fix general bugs and errors on a weekly basis, which is why we usually have routine weekly maintenance.

3. We locate and fix urgent errors as soon as possible. For example, there was an error with the Ignite-related affixes earlier, which allowed Hunters to enter an abnormal invincible state. After locating the cause of such issues and making sufficient preparations, we will take down the server and implement a solution immediately to avoid giving everyone a bad gaming experience.

These three update principles should help you understand why updates were implemented so frequently around October 21.

On October 19, we carried out the routine weekly maintenance.

The event, Savage Shadows, started on October 20.

An emergency server maintenance was implemented on October 20 to fix the invincibility issue caused by the problems with the Ignite affixes.

An emergency server maintenance was implemented on October 21 to fix the invincibility issue caused by the problems with the Wilt affixes (similar to the Ignite affix the day before). However, when the maintenance was almost over, we realized that an art resource of the Savage Shadows event had been accidentally lost due to the update. As this would cause the game to crash abnormally, we extended the maintenance time to solve this issue.

On October 22, some PC players were unable to enter the game. we managed to fix this issue with a 1-hour hotfix.

Upon reviewing the situation, we noted that the routine maintenance and several emergency maintenance events had collided. The frequent server shutdowns and maintenance during this time have obviously affected everyone’s gaming experience to a certain extent. In the future, we will devise better plans to fix issues with abnormal affixes and try to implement such fixes in routine maintenance.

With regard to the build balance issues that everyone has reported, we have started working on the adjustments, but we will not implement any changes until the next season when everyone restarts because we don’t want to affect the stability of the trading ecosystem in this season and don’t want all your efforts so far to be in vain. Of course, we’ll verify and tweak all changes internally and in a small beta server first.

Shutdown Maintenance – November 3

Dear Torchlight Hunter:

Ember’s Rest Hideout is scheduled to undergo maintenance from 10:00 to 12:00 (UTC+8) on November 3. This update will fix bugs and optimize the game, as detailed below.

Optimizations

1. Optimized the color of the icons of Flame Dust, Flame Sand, and Flame Elementium to make it easier to differentiate between them.

2. Optimized some localized descriptions

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed a bug where it is impossible to trade some skills.

2. Fixed a bug that caused the game to lag when tapping a skill while it is on cooldown in certain special situations.

Events

1. The 7-day Sign In event will be suspended for now and will be resumed after the maintenance.

That was all the update coming to Torchlight: Infinite on November 3. Thank you for your patience.
