  1. You are welcome, might see you online at some point.
  2. I don't disagree with the statements made or opinions given. Ascaron made alot of errors. My main point is that Sacred 3 would do better on as many platforms as is possible.
  3. Lag issues for the xbox360 are common and infamous. The game is designed for HD TV and the computer coding is not very good. You need a very fast connection to reduce this problem and so does everyone you play with. Ways to reduce lag are the following: (1) Turn off all your damage details. You don't need to know how much experience you get or damage you or the enemy are doing. (2) Pretty magical effects create massive lag from all classes, the High Elf is the worst. Melee and ranged weapon attacks cause the least amount of problems. Cast magic slower to allow the engine to manage the data. (3) Turn off your buff effects. This doesn't mean don't use your buffs, just get rid of the graphic effect. (4) Turn off the targeting circle. (5) People using Mods in your game, so close the room and start a new one. (6) Avoid activating alot of side quests all at once. There are likely to be more ways, I just don't remember all of them. The first suggestion will make a huge difference. Good Luck.
  4. Rectify, I don't think Sacred 2 on the xbox360 and PS3 bankrupt Ascaron. With the PC lossing the sales battle with the consoles, the error was releasing the game on the PC first. The sale of consoles hardware and games is growing as the PC market shrinks. Consoles are cheaper, simple and are easy to hook into large screens. The growing market for games is the consoles.
  5. The only way I could see the print on sacred 2 was to get a HD tv.
  6. Ignore the message I sent you, you appear to be on the Xbox, but your profile says PC. Just a bit of confusion, not big deal.
  7. I've been off the online game for about one month, but hope to play a bit more. Just hard to find players on the xbox. Tag name gasbomb129.
  8. My tag name is gasbomb129. I have about 50 characters from level 1 to 200.
  9. I tend to find that I get more set pieces from killing lots of enemies or doing quests rather than bosses. I'm sure people assume that killing a boss should give you a good item and check their invemtory every time after killing a boss, so when one drops they assume it was because they fought a boss. I usually have no idea what got me a good item because I don't check my inventory straight after killing a minion or completing a quest. It could have come from a chest, minion or quest.
  10. I run 2 warriors with: sharpened blades, tower shields and improved armour. They never die or get in the way and kill bosses faster than my shadow warrior. They have become more powerful then my shadow warrior and I'm playing on Niob with a level 199 character. The game lags and locks up less with just the two warriors also. The only draw-back is sometimes the second one gets lazy if the enemy isn't likely to threaten your character and just stands there. I'll never do four warriors after seeing the hassles some people get into.
  11. I play on the xbox360. Things I do to reduce lag are: turn off the damage details and experience counters, turn off buff effects under the display section and keep gore off. A lot of my character builds use very few spells, magic area effects are a pain with a few people in a room.
  12. I'll have to pass this on to my friends playing Sacred, nice to hear that date of 2012.
  13. Welcome, I've spent 9 months learning to play the game and still discover stuff I didn't know. I can play it no matter how tired I am, so watch those late nights, lol. I'm online with xbox also.
  14. The side quests can be a little silly, but here are some good ones. The 'Secret Chamber' quest is a massive dungeon that will score you a Temple you might be looking for. At higher levels side quests will level you up much faster than grinding.
  15. Not at all, Concentration is a must and Buffs are good. Warding Energy on the xbox version has no life bar so you don't know when it's going to drop. The shield gets better over time and you need to be loaded with runes, but don't rely on it totally. I haven't completed work on a Celestial Seraphim, so not sure about power output; but you can take all three buffs and not have the focus for the other aspects.
  16. I use this quest to get everyone in a room to work together. So glad the patch made it playable before interest in supporting the xbox game died.
  17. Try taking Toughness for a damage mitigation that doesn't rely on a buff, I have used it to replace armour lore when I'm not using armour at all. That's not to say that Constitution should not be a selected skill. Toughness and Constitution work well together.
  18. I'm not expecting much from Deep Silver and a browser game looks like a cheap easy disappointment.
  19. I would seriously not worry about dying on the xbox version. You could easily take the character to bronze and leave the character next to one wolf or kobold and leave the machine on while you do your house work. The survival bonus will return, but it's not that high at level 29 anyway. The leader boards a joke so having a few deaths on your character just makes you look like an honest player.
  20. Ok, I'm at level 17 and holding my own on silver with minions. Took me a while to get toughness closer to my character level as I needed to unlock the skill with Combat Reflexes to access it. Damage output is the tough issue, so taking a combat focus (exalted warrior focus) for combat arts is helping now. I have shifted to a Seraphim character. All my attribute points are going into strength, to improve damage and hit chance. I'm not sure that bosses will be possible for a long time. I'm really not sure what the character is able to do without armour or weapons. Toughness is a good replacement for armour, but no weapons is the tricky problem.
  21. If you want the attack value to increase, Speed lore and any other weapon skill will stack. So you can have duel wield and speed lore and hit often. Speed lore is a highly overlooked skill, you get a higher run speed and a boost to your defense value. I would be inclined to take damage lore over sword weapons to get the additional effects that you want like: freeze, wound, death blow, burn, etc.
  22. I've got a Seriphim and Shadow Warrior to level 8 sofar. The Shadow warrior has the better (as in longer and cooler) melee combat chains. Damage seems to be about the same, but the Shadow Warrior might get better high hits over time. Tactics Lore is vital at level 2, you do so little damage with Melee attacks. Picking up Toughness (five points in Combat reflexes or Constitution first) is the next priority as it gives me time to hit the potion button. I'm going to continue testing over the week-end, when my other buddies are online.
  23. Head North West from the archaeologist camp till you find a resurrection monolith next to a path leading into the mountains. Follow the path till you get to a tunnel opening and go inside. Just follow the marker till you get to the scorpion who is underground, that's why the marker in in the middle of the mountain range.
  24. I'm on the xbox and use three memory sticks, so can have about forty characters and 4 hero chests. This works well for me.
