belgarathmth 21 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I just lost an 80% survival bonus on my 60th level inquisitor against the cursed Fourth Nameless Guardian. All the way through silver without a single death, and I die right at the end, on the very last fight! I made the mistake of trying to activate my so-called "god power" instead of sitting on the potion button and keeping my eye glued to my health bar. Now I get to play gold with everybody yellow and at my level, instead of red and nine levels above me like they should be. As the Peanuts say, AUGH! Link to comment
gogoblender 3,042 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 A devastating loss. My sympathies for the SB level thrown down. Painful gogo Link to comment

My TG got killed in Falitia's cave - my keyboard inputs suddenly stopped working entirely. I couldn't do much of anything to even teleport myself to safety. I managed to rebuild my SB by using an Officer's Saber to like 86%- and when I got to Gold, the baddies were still only yellow. Link to comment

lujate 572 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 That 4th Guardian is a tricky (insert explicative of your choice). Link to comment
cider_steve 26 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sorry to hear that friend. I have just done a similar thing. I had my sb% at over 80 for the first time ever for Sacred 2 and was taking on the Ice Phoenix...............it kicked my butt ! I tried another four times and died every time..................I've taken a mini break to recover my pride, lol ! Steve. Link to comment
Elwin 2 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just be happy you werent in hardcore mode. That hurts more thabn just loosing sb bonus. As my lv84 dragonmage did on platinum 4th guardian. Link to comment
belgarathmth 21 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for the tea and sympathy, everybody. @Elwin, yeah, I don't care to play hardcore, because having a character file erased and destroyed after having spent tens or even hundreds of hours working on the build and the equipment strikes me as just too devastating. I bet it really gets the adrenaline pumping when you know you're about to face a boss, though - for those who are thrillseekers, I guess that intense fear is what it's all about. But still, the game manages to penalize you very heavily for death through the survival bonus. Tonight, I decided I wanted to play an old shadow warrior save (hammer build), so I could feel strong again. I was running around the desert on silver at about level 42 or so, one-shotting every creature and not even taking any damage. Got overconfident, went up against Garganthropod, dead shadow warrior, back to level 0 SB. <sigh>. Oh well, I was fast tracking this guy to gold and not taking any side-quests or anything, so I guess I'll just go on to gold without caring about the SB, give myself a fresh start in gold, and take some time to "smell the flowers" and do sidequests and stuff.
