On my first play of Act one, I chose a female pure Pyromancer character named Rowan as I often do. After my ten hour Titan marathon, I’m sitting at level 15, and sporting some fantastic fireball and earth elemental abilities. The gameplay? Pure joy. Combat takes place in an indescribably stunning environment. Let’s see, we had groups of ten or twenty monsters attacking us, with full real-time lighting and shadowing on everything. Then we laid our Diablo yearning eyes upon visceral rag-doll physics of the oft-flying corpses and moreover, physics laden spell effects. Next, we found ourselves surrounded with fantastically designed trees, wavering in the wind, and nicely fading into transparency when not required. Tree shadows fell onto equally wavery grass and shrub shaders, which parted Moses-style as our party advanced, completely without loading screens. As if this weren’t bounty enough for all, our eyes soon grew accustom to full day/night cycles, complete with shadows stretching out into the distance at digital sunset. I played most of my first ten hours with my mouth hanging wide open.
In second place we have Helios_the_Thane with his entry of Thane's Rule.
We also have quite a few honorable mentions in the wallpaper contest. Pinkfrog submitted his entry of Lost and Rafaman submitted three entries. Those entries are Orthos, Orthos Fire and Giza By Night.
Thank you to everyone who participated in last weeks contest and congratulations to the winners. Don't forget about this weeks contest, "Submit An Idea for A Mod". There is still time to submit your entry. We will accept entries until Midnight tonight!

Google Ad Help Print News | Mail News | Category: Titan Quest - Titan Quest The Vault Network is asking the community to help us preserve our Don't Destroy the Game philosophy and mantra. Our parent company IGN has partnered with the good guys over at Google to run its "Google Ads" across all of IGN's sites, which includes the Vaults. With that comes the chance of Google running a gold seller-type ad that might slip by the existing filter we help set up to ensure these ads are blocked. Because we told Google that these gold farmer type ads suck and don't belong on the Vault Network. They were more than happy to work with us to keep such ads off our sites. So, we will be watching to make sure we remove any that happen to slip through and muck up our stuff!
There is a gold lining to this situation (pun intended!). We have a system in place where any community member can submit an ad they might see via a simple and easy web form. You only need to provide one of two pieces of information: Name of Ad and/or the Link for the Ad -- that's it. Click here to learn more and where to submit.
Use the submission page to submit your entry. On this page, select Wallpaper --> Submit Form --> Fill in this form with you entry. The category should be 'Wallpaper Contest'.
If you have any questions, please ask!
Now for the prizes!
First Place: Autographed (by the devs) Copy of Titan Quest
Second Place: Titan Quest T-Shirt and a Titan Quest Mousepad
Third Place: An Autographed (By Brian Sullivan) Strategy Guide
Down to the wire and very few submissions. You've got a chance of winning a prize almost by default!
Submissions this week include wallpaper, armor, the Spinebreaker, and a really great interview with ... MaDMaN!
