  1. Amazon Combat Arts are done. Each of her 15 combat arts now has its own Wiki page with detailed info about it, as well as pictures and videos of them in action. This is the first time you'll be able to see a lot of this info outside of the game, such as all the modifications for each CA, what skills and attributes affect them, as well as some basic strategies on using them. So check out Poison Javelin, Charged Strike and all the rest. New aspect skills like Storm Combat Lore also have their own pages now too. Hope you enjoy, and find it useful! I especially enjoyed making the little videos. Reviewing all the modifications and spell properties also helped me make some tweaks to improve the next version. New D2F videos on SacredWiki's youtube channel support up to 1080p resolution:
  2. Almost every day someone complains on the forums about friendly fire from their auras. Team mates sometimes die from damage caused by your auras. This is one reason why I would not want to play multiplayer.
  3. Softcore! I died like 40 times fighting the Log in Elite, before I realized I could just hang back and fight his tentacles and summons and still wear him down. Before that I had only died twice (fighting first Steps of Torment boss and then Log in Normal) and only two or three times after (Herald of Destruction and Log again in Ultimate). I was mainly a weapon/shield Soldier, with Arcanist skills as backup. So Cadence on LMB and Force Wave on RMB. Maiven's Sphere, Iskandra's Elemental Exchange, Menhir's Bulwark and various buffs from component in weapon (Aether Aura). The two passive Soldier weapon procs, and various passive skills to keep me alive mostly. I also used the temp buffs Overguard and that pierce buff you get from a shield component (forget). Finally to keep foes disabled I made light use of Flash Freeze and Callidor's Tempest (for knockdown). I forget all the Devotions but I had a fair number of Celestial Powers active that saved my butt more than a few times. I was mostly Order and Primordial, so all the ones in the upper left section.
  4. Manga is drawn on the page. We'd call them comic books in the west. Anime is animated video, I think it's a loanword that comes from the English "animated" actually. Oftentimes a popular Manga will be adapted into Anime. Hentai means "pervert" in Japanese. It's the adult stuff. Usually refers to Manga but I guess you could apply the term to Anime as well to indicate that it's X-rated.
  5. Well I did it, something I've never ever done in a game like this: I took my first character (from official release) and took him all the way to max level, through all the content, without switching to a new character and restarting. I think it's because they did such a good job with having the building of your character go on and on through each difficulty. You really don't run out of devotion points or skill points until halfway through Ultimate, meaning there's always a reason to keep pushing on instead of starting a new character. I absolutely loved getting my Battlemage to level 85, and had tons of fun. Now I can return to Sacred-related things refreshed.
  6. I watched the One Punch Man anime last month. Best anime I saw in a long long time. I thought I needed something even more grim but it turns out something funny was just the right thing. I wonder how many people are trying Saitama's fitness regiment?
  7. D2F has its own page on SacredWiki now, and it will serve as a hub for all the D2F info I plan to put on the Wiki. Right now the page is an overview of the mod. There are also links to new pages I made for all the character classes. For example, you can see that the Amazon has a character page now. Although I haven't made pages for the individual combat arts yet, you may still find the character pages useful. This is the first time, outside of the game, that you can see the lists of skills each character can access, complete with the new icons and descriptions. I'll add pages for the new aspect skills and what they do as I make the combat art pages. Then I'll work on the new equipment and elite mounts, and finally I'll see about making a bestiary and any other miscellaneous things to catalogue.
  8. Item Update Ethereal Weapons This weapons exist only partially in the physical dimension, giving them unearthly powers. Due to their ghostly nature, they cannot have runes, jewelry, or blacksmith arts forged into them. Ethereal Shortsword Ethereal Greatsword Ethereal Axe Ethereal Maul Ethereal Bow All Ethereal Weapons have high ice damage, Chance to Bypass Armor, +All Skills, and Leech life from opponents X% , as well as an unlockable bonus based on weapon mastery of the weapon's type. The two swords have Chance for Mortal Wounds, the two hafted weapons have Chance for Crushing Blow, and the bow gets Chance to Pierce.
  9. AHAHA! You got me! This is the one and only April Fool's prank that I actually fell for. Well done.
  10. I have no clue how the math works. From what I can see, there are two factors at play: drop quality and drop quantity, both of which are improved by Enhanced Perception. I changed the line in balance.txt "SkillMagicFindFactor" which at the very least should improve the unlockable Magic Find bonuses on items. For me, it seems to improve overall drop quality in my D2F playthroughs to a noticeable extent. New bosses in D2F have the same settings as normal bosses and should drop legendary items at about the same rate. I have no idea. I don't believe it's true because it doesn't make any sense, but I don't have any hard proof ether way.
  11. Anti virus programs sometimes flag the current CM as a virus. Is that what you're seeing? Have you tried turning off your anti virus just long enough to install the CM? It could also be the download didn't finish properly. You can check the file size and see if the download aborted prematurely. It should be: 266 MB (279,672,816 bytes). If it's less than that you should probably re-download it. I just downloaded it from the downloads section and it extracted ok for me.
  12. OK I see, the bonuses are labeled with names like "Belt Normal" but I guess they added them to various armor pieces.
  13. I just checked the scripts and these are the minimum requirements for +All Skills modifier to appear: Item level 15 or above Rare quality or better Any difficulty level For +General Skills: Item level 10 or above Magic quality or better Any difficulty level +Bargaining has no minimum constraints. I also checked the item types it appears on: Helmets, Belts, Boots, Amulets and Relics only. Sorry I missed that your character was only level 2.
  14. Yeah, you're better off looking for +General Skills or +All Skills. You'll usually only find Bargaining bonuses on Relics.
  15. Here are some upcoming changes to Druid armor. I grew to dislike how mismatched many of Wardust's armor textures were, so I adjusted them to match and still look like "sets." Cloth Armor Leather Armor Iron Armor Magic Armor I'll update the Druid's character design overview above when the next version is released.
  16. Some upcoming changes for the Barbarian's armor. These were adapted from Wardust's serious textures. Exxo Armor 4th pic: Dendaran's Tactical Genius Crypt Armor 4th pic: Lucretis' Stars Iron Armor I'll update the Barbarian's character design overview above when the next version is released.
  17. Doesn't Charisma increase Poison damage? I thought Dex boosted Fire damage.
  18. Whenever I scroll around the map, anything beyond the borders shows a strange grid. Also the icons for bosses and portals used to be visible no matter the zoom level. They would resize dynamically as you zoomed in and out, it was like they were overlaid on top of the base map. Now you must zoom in all the way to spot them. As far as I know the Sacred 2 Map in the downloads section is the most recent correct map. Likewise I picked up the dungeon map from the link on the wiki page. Though as Knuckles said the achievement only activates if 100 dungeons are entered in 1 game session. I've done it myself.
  19. Something doesn't look quite right with the Sacred 2 Map. The dynamically resizing icons are gone, and I'm getting broken image placeholders all around the map. It might just be something on my end, but I thought it might be related to the new servers.
  20. This kind of opened my eyes in how to make better use of the Daemon's forms and her special abilities that the forms unlock. My last Daemon kept dying and I couldn't figure out what I could have done differently. This may be the key.
  21. Have you tried? If you visit a horse trader or special mount dealer there's a sell button.
  22. You're gonna 3D print a Temple Guardian figure!
