Torchlight Frontiers 'Beast Buddies Update' Coming on July 16th

The Torchlight Frontiers team is hard at work on the next major update to the game. Called "Beast Buddies", the patch will include pet companions.

Torchlight Frontiers: The Adept's Path is the Right One

The most recent patch to the Torchlight Frontiers Alpha fixes what could likely be the biggest problem I’ve had with the Action RPG MMO – character progression. While it’s still a work in progress (it is Alpha), the new and more traditional skill trees and levels prove that Torchlight Frontiers doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel to make an impact.

Torchlight Frontiers – An MMO We Always Wanted

Torchlight has been a fan favorite around here for years. It was an RPG launched in 2009 and quickly became a success on PC. The scope of the world seemed endless, especially for steampunk fantasy fans. As the years moved forward, we were treated to Torchlight II which was an excellent follow up to the original RPG. It offered more classes and options and a more in-depth storyline. Now, almost ten years later we are looking at the launch of the original goal which was a Torchlight MMO.

Torchlight Frontiers: What I Think So Far

I’ve seen two schools of thought with Torchlight Frontiers so far: one that loves the core of the game, even with its rough edges - and one that thinks it’s lacking the fun of the original two. Me? I’m somewhere in between. On one hand, I love what Torchlight Frontiers is aiming to become, and on the other I know this is Alpha and that the game is missing a lot of content and features are in flux.

Torchlight Frontiers to Offer You Wardrobes So You Can Always Sport the Right Gear

The Torchlight Frontiers site has been updated with a new developer diary that outlines a new feature called Wardrobes. As the name implies, "players need a place to store and swap entire sets of equipment when adventuring on the Frontier". The decision to add a wardrobe system to the game came from feedback from testers during Alpha 1 and Alpha 2. Rather than just a cosmetic storage, however, it is more utilitarian in that players can create and store "the right tools for the job".

Leveling a Frontier Will Determine What Gear You Can Wear in Torchlight Frontiers

During alpha test events in late 2018, Torchlight Frontiers players expressed concern with the horizontal progression system. The development team has listened to in order to make adjustments going forward. Previously, when a player earned Skill Points, the choice had to be made whether to buy combat skills or to upgrade weapon and armor levels. However, this went over poorly and adjustments have been made to smooth out the process.
