Torchlight 2 release date announced - 20 September 2012

After noticing the difference in release dates for Europe (SA) it looks like I will be playing TL2 before BL2. BL2 release date is 18 Sept for US, but only 21 Sept for UK and we normally follow UK / Europe.
 
Be good to see how far runic has come after bill roper flaggshipped them. TL1 already showed good promise, I think TL2 is going to be awesome.

Just sad they could keep mythos...
 
Awesomesauce! Looking forward to finally playing this after pre-ordering it ages ago. What class are you thinking of playing Wyzak?

I'm not 100% sure yet. I always end up playing a mage, so I'm trying really really hard not to start with the mage this time round. However we are LANing TL2 on Sunday, so I'll decide on the day what class I'll play depending on what the other people are playing.

I'm very keen on trying the engineer, but apparently so are several others :) And I recently finished TL1 with the outlander type class, so I will probably create an outlander last.

What class are you thinking of?
 
I'm leaning towards the Engineer at the moment as well, played as an Alchemist in the first one so I'm thinking of going for a melee character this time, but I'll also see what the guys in our group are going to play as. Sadly it looks like our plans for a LAN this weekend may not come together but at least we've got the option of online :D

It's definitely nice having options :) Even with the online option your latency is only limited to the time it takes between you and your friend, and not between you some server somewhere and your friend :D

Overall – 5/5 stars—Highly Recommended
Torchlight II is better than the original and an outstanding game in its own right—and at only twenty bucks delivers some of the best value for your money in PC gaming. In addition, it has relatively low system specs, so you don't need a cutting edge PC to play it. Go out now and buy it already.

What initially stuck out to me about Torchlight 2 was the combat, it feels really really good like really fluid. I don't really understand why, I couldn't understand why it felt better than Diablo 3 but I realized it's because it's not server sided and that makes a huuuggge difference!
 
Just bought my copy! currently pre-loading it for tonight:)

Let me know if any of you guys are keen on trying online? maybe we can share steam id's or something?
