@gogoblender , @Flix , and whoever else is involved, I just wanted to say, thank you very much for this new forum design and reboot, and for your prompt and friendly moderation. The color scheme and design look very nice, and I've always appreciated how friendly and cheerful you guys are, even when people are complaining or having problems. If I recall correctly, the old site had some problems with attacks on security, and I see the efforts being made to keep this new site safe. So thank you all very much for your hard work and time, and for your continued efforts through all these years to keep a great old game like Sacred 2 alive and well.

Chattius, I'm heart broken... I dont know what happened to that guide I'll check and see on the Wiki if there's a copy there for you ...it was on the first post of that thread here on DarkMatters? And RetsReds, happy that you got an expert here on this thread helping you out... when it comes to mechanics, Chattius pretty much wrote the book gogo

Thanks Belgarathmth!! You've put a lot of heart and joy into the community today. Thanks for this wonderful topic of appreciation. I dont know what we'd do without knowing that we could wake up in the morning to a happy place like this. And we've always been very grateful that this community is not just filled with the most talented modderss but also the kindest moderators and especially a community that keeps posting in our game threads, gaming threads and Wiki. It's that last part about the world's kindest gaming community I think that's kept DarkMatters here on the map in the universe for more than a decade, specially with food topics Not bad for a small game released so many years ago in far off Germany that's found a cult following! We await the next step in Sacred's road gogo

You are most certainly welcome, Belgarathmth. Your expression of thanks is truly appreciated. I am sure that many others feel the way that you do; the fact that you took the time to post here in that regard, I am certain, means a lot to the staff here.

I'm also what you'd call a "lazy" player. I like to have pretty much one combo to spam over and over to handle the whole game. My go-to build is a Shadow Warrior with Malevolent Champion Focus. My combo is fully modded Belligerent Vault followed by fully modded Frenzied Rampage. Every once in a while I drop one of those banners that increases attack and defense - I can't remember what it's called right now. I keep Grim Determination and Reflective Emanation up at all times. My usually chosen skills are Malevolent Champion Focus, Concentration, Tactics Lore, Armor Lore, Evasion (can't remember the real name), Constitution, one Weapon Focus depending on what I want to use, and the rest are optional. I like to pump Stamina as my main stat because it gives percentage improvements to recharge times instead of merely adding fixed small amounts like Strength and Vitality, plus the Shadow Warrior gets a lot of points in Strength and Vitality just for leveling. I tried the infamous invisible Shadow Warrior Astral Lord build once, and I didn't find it fun, at all. It felt like I was just standing there watching my skeletons and Skeletal Fortification play the game for me. I thought it was really boring, and never did that again.

I think that CM 1.60 was a big help to those numbers as there's an influx of old and new players alike that are re-experiencing the game again with Elite Textures and without the constant crashes. Can't say I'm surprised as that was one of the factors that I stressed out the most during the development of the patch, and I guess it played out as I predicted it. Nice to see the game still catching fire and people still enjoying it.

hmmm...just saw the new trailer of the new Anno 1800, which will be published in Feb 2019...this could collide! Solution:disable family, enable playing time!
