Alright, sounds good then.

What will be your solution for 2.4?

But as long as there is no way of making the protectors use both active melees and spells usage, they should go to their default mode of an active but efficient melee only.

The "tank behavior" should still be better. The way I see it, the 2 spells of the protectors rather seem to be a hindrance in gameplay instead of being an advantage. It should be thought about if the 2 spells are really worth it and if they are reasonably viable.

I noticed that the Gold Modification "Soul Imbiber" from the Inquisitor actually does not heal the Inquisitor. It is supposed to heal the Inquisitor for 10% each time he collects a soul. But that is not happening. I have installed the CM-Patch 1.60 and the Original Spells EE. You may take a look into that.+ Edit: This might be true only related to some monster types.

Why don't you just focus on English for now? I would assume most are able to read English, even from other countries. It would be great if you provide the test patch. I may give some feedback soon regarding a few things I encountered in the game if you allow.

Any updates when version 2.4 will be available?

I installed the Original Spells. But unfortunately, I cannot see any difference with regards to the Protector. He is still inactive mostly and not attacking. You said it would be fixed in the EE. Can you double-check?

I will let you know. For now, I am trying the Original Spells. Everything looks good so far and I read some parts of the manual already.

Ok, then it is time now to install your Enhanced Edition. I wanted to try that anyway. Great work! Let's hope THQ will take up everything the Sacred 2 community has developed over the years and make a remastered version similar to Titan Quest Anniversary Edition.

With the CM-Patch 1.60, the Dragon Berserk skill of the Dragon Mage now allows the usage of potions, trophies as well as buffs. That is all great, but I noticed a bug related to the buffs. If you activate the Familiar buff while in Dragon Berserk form, the bonus to Intelligence and Willpower remains even after the Dragon Berserk form expires. If you then activate the Familiar buff again, the Dragon Mage actually gets twice the bonus, which is clearly a bug and unintended. I would suggest removing the buffs from the Dragon Berserk. The Dragon Berserk should focus on potions and trophies, which suits his style more. The buffs should remain with the Dragon Mage (normal form) alone.

In CM-Patch 1.60, the protectors from the Dragon Mage gained 2 new innate skills. However, I noticed that the protectors are far less aggressive in combat than before. Most of the time they are inactive, standing around and don't attack much. Additionally, they often need a longer time to cast the new heal spell, even if they lost only a little amount of health. The cast animation takes somewhat long and prevents them from attacking at that time. In short: The new AI of the protectors is not good for combat. Before they attacked quickly and frequently. Since that is not the case anymore now, I would suggest removing the skills again and letting the protectors get back to their original more combat-oriented AI. Because right now I find the protectors pretty ineffective.

But if they are supposed to have those spells, and if it was intended to be like that by the original developers, then this would be within the range of tasks of the CM-Patch, or not? I mean, it is not illegitimate to activate those dormant spells again with the next CM-Patch, and not instead with a separate Mod. You could even consider that to be a bug fix, which is clearly a task of the CM-Patch.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I assumed that. I also don't know how to test that best. For me, however, the Regeneration Mod would only be a possibility if it improved the regeneration ​in combat​.

Does anyone know if the Bronze Mod "Regeneration" of the Protector, which gives a 700% increase in hitpoint regeneration according to sacredwiki, is also active while in combat? Or is it just active while out of combat? I hope someone knows, since it is not stated clearly on the sacredwiki page.

Short question: Is the next CM-Patch 1.60 still being worked on? I am asking because quite some time has passed now since the last patch.

Yes, but then it means the changes do not work as intended and should be reviewed. Looks like it is a bug, or someone missed something in the patch. So maybe Marcus or anyone responsible can check this.

I am not sure why no one replies. It seems to me that this is a problem. According to the CM-Patch notes the enemies should level up in Bronze, to level 60, but they don't. I just want to enjoy Bronze a bit longer than just rushing through. I checked several areas, and in every area there are severe level caps still. No enemy reached level 60. I have properly installed CM-Patch 150. Has someone else also recognized this?

Will this be included in the next CM-Patch?

I see. Alright. Yeah, I noticed there are some misspellings and grammar mistakes in some texts (I am playing the english version). So any corrections of that would be surely welcomed.

Are there plans to include this Mod into any future CM-Patch?

The enemies in the beginning swamp area don't rise above level 27. So when are the enemies on the map finally able to rise to level 60 in Bronze? And in what areas?

The max levels of the enemies in the Orc zone near the Octagolamus and on the first parts of the Sraphim island seem to be around 21-23. So I am not sure when to expect the enemies to actually increase up to level 60 in Bronze.

Just a short question. According to the CM-Patch notes the regional level caps have been removed. But when I started in Bronze difficulty I recognized that the creatures in the early region were outleveled fast by me. For example, the Kobolds were level 2 when I was level 5. Aren't they supposed to level up with me until level 60, which is the difficulty level cap for Bronze? Or did I misunderstand anything?

Is this the last and final patch now? Would be nice if someone could answer that clearly. Thanks!
