  1. Yes, after that first screenshot I recognized the item. http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Light_of_Day Community Patch is a mod. When troubleshooting stuff like this it's pretty important that you let us know whether or not you tried to install it. In this case it looks like the patch wasn't installed properly before.

  3. Well...Ill be damned... something must have gone wrong during the first install... so I did what I always do...uninstalled...turned off computer...turned it on...install and... now it says: v.265.2, build 1837, en-UK, CM1 Patch 0160 The difference is big...interface is black...graphics way better and smoother...details sharper...on default settings all.... below is exactly the same printscreen but after reinstall - the difference is obvious and the invisible items changed names and now display properly

  4. Do you have the Community Patch? Any mods installed? Did these items drop or did you download them? I also don't understand why you're describing this item as green, because green items are set items, and should have proper names, not "Leather Vest of Wealth." By the looks of it you're using some kind of set item for which you don't actually have the icons and textures installed. Also, what do you have texture quality set to? Minimal? Elite?

  5. Small update. I've played this build through Silver and managed to enter Gold at an early level 35. I have to say that Mentalism with +All Skills is a real killer! Anyway, I had never played a DM before so I basically adapted the build as I went on and as I discovered that some things worked and others didn't. I dropped Dragon Magic in favour of a single aspect Mentalist, just with the added second buff in Familiar (unmodified). I also noticed how weak the DM is when in melee so I switched the order of Toughness and Ancient Magic, since I can already cause a lot of damage and with Bargaining there are sweet rings to cover the gaps. I dropped Dragon Magic Focus in favour of Speed Lore, as to improve the melee efficiency by reaping the bonuses of the skill. Right now it's like this, at level 36 (Toughness will be at level 50 and Ancient Magic at level 65): 2 Bargaining 36 3 Armor Lore 5 5 Mentalism Lore 34 8 Concentration 1 12 Mentalism Focus 34 18 Pole Arms 5 25 Speed Lore 1 35 Constitution 1 I have the early level 2 toon parked in Silver with 16 points in Bargaining and the level 35 parked in Gold with 84 points in Bargaining (added bonuses via gear), and they both do good shopping. The idea now is to keep moving on and reach Platinum to repeat the procedure, as to be able to purchase better equipment with each iteration of this build. Right now it's looking good, as my level 65 Platinum Blacksmith enjoyed the added bonuses of having a shared chest of +All Skills jewelry. Now I need to take a break from the DM and keep levelling the SW smith as Bargaining is a goddamn gold sink!

  6. It's in the patch notes: "Autocollect pickup range increased. To make the graphical circle match the new coded pickup radius, change the line "autoCollectRadius" to a value of "230" in options.txt (not required, but recommended)."

  8. Yes, I can hear the time-gaining argument (a little bit); on the other hand, the excuse 'your game your fun' is not receivable for me (I've heard it many time don't worry). There are rules and they, for me, have to be respected. Cheating is just killing the game. But I know, I'm very pernickety on this (one may surely say 'killjoy'). I don't want to re-debate, play like you wish; my wish was not to re-open a debate. BTW, it's normal that you don't find much loot on Silver; expect them on harder difficulties.

  9. Well... I like balance. I like grinding. I know its all RNG but with limited time on my hands these day I would love to see a drop every now and then... And with regular balance file untill clvl 30 on silver I got maybe 3 - 4 drops, mostly lousy With this adjusted .txt file - I do not know exactly what was changed - now I can see a drop approx. every 2 hrs. And vendours also have slightly better offer. Btw, when I say "a drop" I mean some good stuff I can actually use This brought back The Spark to my Sacred 2 gaming and grinding....esp mow that I might have even less time. Grinding aside....I remember back in the DILoD Day farming mephisto for a month straight only NOT to see the drop I wanted. I know , I know now ... but when it would finally drop it was the reward...ultimate reward but again I have little time these days and WITHOUT changed balance it was just frustration and now it is fun again... Of course I still do have to grind but at least rng seems to like me a little better. Then again there is this ongoing eternal discussion about cheating and what it is...changing a single digit in the txt file from 2 to 3 for exampke is cheating even if this might bear no implication on actual gameplay? But otoh....someone mighylt say if u choose to change it why not from 2 to 2000 and get the ultimate drop every time a mob is killed? Where does one draw a line? And again installing community patches fixing some bugs the fevs dud not care about....but maybe they did care and the game was designed like this... Anyway...if this is not for competitive purposes o believe everyone shall play the game they fancy. Lije DIII if u make it to leaderboards with 22hrs of botting a day it is lame and it is cheating... But if u dont compete if its only u vs machine who cares...your game your fun. I know ppl for whom definition of fun is to have the bot running 20 hrs straight and then in the morning with a glass of coffe quickle see what was collected leave for work set the bot running again and repeat ad nausea...but if yhey like it what impact does it have on me? Anyway...I wouldnt even consider it playing but if this is what tickles their fancy..... I like grinding. I like actually playing the game. But I also want it to be a nice relaxing experience and not a frustrating one with all this frustration in everyday life. In the pm when wife daughter are asleep and I have this hr just for myself I want to chill out...and if I happen to play for 2 hrs without any reward it is frustrating. But now I can see a drop a little mor often. Fun and interest in game have been revived I dont know if all of this makes much sense and is very coherent but im on my mobile in bed with a damn flu feeling like...I was grinding for a year without any good drop

  13. You poor soul, what have you gotten yourself into? My computer loads the game so fast that I don't see the silly messages as the game is loading as I used to. One of them says "You did not call in sick just to play this game, now did you?" I believe that they were referring to you specifically, Jacek. All joking aside, we actually consider you to be a part of our community here. You share our love of Sacred 2 and we thank you for your interesting and often humorous posts. As far as your sore butt, get a more cushy chair or a pillow. For your hand it may actually not be carpal tunnel but a misalignment in your metacarpal bones. You may try rolling your palm on a tennis ball or seeing a Doctor of Osteopathy or a chiropractor. For your eyes, take a five minute break once per hour and look far into the horizon (thousand yard stare) for several minutes. That and some saline eye drops should do the trick. Sorry, but I cannot help with the boss. Perhaps you can buy a copy of the game for his next birthday. Yet, he may get addicted too, lose his job and you could get a tougher boss. Perhaps I should stop blathering on so that you can get back to the game, or work, its ultimately your decision. I know that you will make the right one.

  15. Welcome to DarkMatters. Hope you have a wonderful time for many years to come. My Boyfriend and I play a lot of games together on the laptop, mostly Heroes of might and Magic 5 and 7, but also Mortal Kombat XL that I bought him (along with 2 controllers) for his 30th birthday. on my own I play Sacred 2, Civilization 5, Rise of nations, and other games that he does not play...

  16. Welcome My 5 are 12 years apart. The youngest 3 weren't even born when Sacred2 came out. The oldest is working on her master, the second visits a full day school half a state away, the third prefers to make and listen to music above all games and the mixed twins are playing mainly table tennis together. With the oldest I played Sacred 2 a lot. Most often when my wife or me had night readiness. We had Sacred2 installed on the server at our volunteer fire-fighter building and did LAN parties there. But with 5 kids and splitting the time between them there is less and less time for Sacred2

  17. I envy you both. Both my daughters are grown with families of their own. I used to play computer games with them when they were younger, but now the older one is too busy to do much of anything and the younger has moved on to console games. Hmm, my youngest daughter hates being called "The Baby of the Family". My wife is only in her early 70's, perhaps we could create another sibling to share my computer gaming prowess with ...

  19. Welcome to DarkMatters, Jacek. It's a privilege to have you here with us. I think that it's cool that your daughter likes the game too. Perhaps she may enjoy creating her own High Elf character so that she doesn't have to share. Still, there's nothing wrong with sharing, it's actually a good father-daughter bonding thing. I have a daughter too and she's attending a University here in Texas. She has about 100 hours accumulated toward a double major (Biology & Geology) and a perfect 4.0 G.P.A., so I know what it is to be a proud father too. My daughter and I speak Spanish together in the house sometimes, but she's more fluent than am I. I'm an average guy too, just enjoying having my daughter home for Christmas break. Like you, I enjoy playing Sacred 2 until the wee hours of the night sometimes. I look forward to seeing you here, posting in the forums and enjoying the site and the people here. Oh, if your daughter does want to start her own player, I started a thread about giving High Elf characters their own elvish name. She might enjoy that and you can check it out here if you wish.
