I'm still playing actively, but I am rapidly losing the patience needed to grind alone for long periods of time. If I do end up going to Open, I don't know if I will be able to control the urge to run builds I've wanted to, but didn't have the equipment for (eg. dual kal'durs) and I am concerned that after the initial surge of fun, it will ruin the game experience completely.

Aww.. must have missed you :S

Press the triangle/arrow button in the top right corner.

Hi Debbie, welcome to Darkmatters. Great to see new faces Do you have the Ice & Blood expansion? Are you planning to play online? Let us know if you have any questions.

Don't get too far away from me My elf hit 75 yesterday.

Hooray! Now I just need a custom title

As much as I want to play the CM Patch, this idea concerns me. Are we simply trusting that there has been no foul play? Chests full of Kal'dur's and the like... I worry that if people start playing in 'clan only' locked servers, we aren't being very inviting to new players. I suppose the details could be posted on the forum, but that negates the point of locking them. In the end, I only see Furian on a regular basis anymore.. so whatever he does, I'll follow

Dobs is on the money. It's for the materials you don't see. Not to mention the beer for after! Blacksmithing is hot work.

Hey Steve, Welcome to the forums! Great to have you here.

I'm here, where are you? Server: [D.a.r.k] Seventy-Five

Sumply put, widescreen monitors are not the norm. 1024x768 is only just becoming the base level. A design maximized for a wide monitor will look terrible on a smaller one but the reverse is not so traumatic for the user. I do agree that a variable width layout generally works better on a forum, but it wouldn't be possibly with this design.

Looks excellent Schot incredibly detailed theme.

What was that you said about not pushing the limits?

Is anyone around? The grind is sooo much more apparent when alone.

It's almost lunch time here and that looks awesome!

I must say, as an Australian, I have no idea how American football works. But they certainly wear a lot of protection

Well, we will start by figuring out which characters won't work. Inquisitor can take bargaining, but not EP. SW can take EP, but not bargaining. So they're out. There are plenty of Seraphim builds that would do what you're after. My suggestion would be the Queen of Blades or a BFG build. If you have the equipment, you could give Dob's new Leech killer a go. For High Elf I'd go with either Gogo's Secret Agent Ice Elf or Katran's impressive (and well loved) Pyro Elf. For a Dryad, I'd probably go with the Staff Bug build (assuming you're playing Ice and Blood). I have one as a shopper at roughly 100 and she destroys everything. Alternatively, check out Unipuma's guide. There are many choices for the Temple Guardian, mine would be Dobri's Utility Guide or Woody's 200 Club Utility Build. As for the poor Dragon Mage, I have no suggestions. I am not a fan of the class, but I am sure someone can provide some insight. Most of these will probably need a little tweaking to include barganing/EP, but it should definitely be possible. If you've emassed a bunch of gear for any one class, perhaps that would be the place to start.

Hey Dobs.. Being that Barri is hoarding the Kal'durs, what (if any) changes would you make if you were going to run this build with a LL% star and shield. If I somehow come across a pair of Kal'durs (or if I can bribe Barri ), it'd be nice to be able to switch to DW, so I would want to keep that in the build.

Elwin, you might want to specify that you are looking for ClosedNet

Thank you guys, your support is appreciated. The water has stopped rising and is slowly receding. Massive amounts of damage to many homes, businesses and roads. My parents house rose to within 2-3 inches of the floor boards for the living level. Everything was moved off the lower level, so only minor losses. Very lucky. 15 dead, 61 missing at this stage. 30,000 properties affected. The river rose about 15 feet total. The cleanup process is going to take forever.

Unfortunately the addon will never be released for consoles. When Ascaron went bust, Deep Silver bought the intellectual property for the game, but they have no intention of continuing development. Instead of attempting to decipher and unravel the current code, they began work on Sacred 3. It's a shame that it happened this way, but it is out of their control.

Ah, I follow. Catchment area is a term I understand. http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/water/monitoring/current_data/map_qld.php

There are some maps around of the flooding, but I can't find anything quite as detailed as what you have there. This page has some links to flood modeling: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/

Hey guys, just a quick update. 75% of Queensland has now been declared a natural disaster zone. Massive flooding in the CBD, power has been switched off and most staff told to stay away. My parent's place has taken on about 2' of water in their lower level and it's supposed to get higher. We moved a lot of their stuff out yesterday, so hopefully the damage has been minimised, but we will need to wait until the water recedes to see. Fingers crossed. Here is a photo out the front of their house about 3pm yesterday. Everything that is water should be road, beyond the trees you can see the river. The water has risen about 2m since this shot.
