  1. What was wrong with C:\Users\<username>\Documents]\Games\Ascaron Entertainment\Sacred 2? Every other game I install seems to have no problem with putting their save games there? But there's always someone who wants to reinvent the wheel I suppose. I guess I should curse microsoft for not setting their guidelines a little clearer.
  2. Strange I havent seen path of exile mentioned yet. http://www.pathofexile.com/] It will be free to play when it releases. Quite an involved skill system which should get some Sacred junkies interested. Currently they are giving out a beta key every 10 min or so but if you hate waiting for the dice to roll for you you can contribute 10$ and get 100 coins of in game currency and a beta spot.
  3. Ok, sadly I have some pretty bad experiences to relate on this thread. I downloaded from DLGamer, and had a problem right off the bat when the install.exe file didn't download with the batch. An email to DLgamer got that straightened out fast. The install went smoothly enough but when I attempted to register on the eu hardcore server, it errored out. Now my serial number is flagged in use, the name and pw I used to register the first time wont work, the page to change your password isn't being maintained by anyone and all dlgamer and the eu people do is pass me back and forth between them like a tennis ball. Grrrr. I tried mailing the registered domain contact email for the domain where the password maintenance page is and it is dead. The message I've seen the most is Database is down try later. My charge card company tells me I have a legitimate claim to a refund but again the DLgamer folks say it's the eu ppl's fault and they can do nothing so I guess I'm gonna use the charge card company to charge back my purchase to get my money back. While I can appreciate the work the dlgamer guys put into the install change (it's 100X better than the stock ascaron release, this server bs needs to get fixed fast or it isn't gonna be pretty. That's my feedback sorry it couldn't have been better. The buddy I had buy the game so we could play online now wont talk to me either as he had the same bs experience. So be warned their database is appearantly on life support and no one will fix any problems you have. IMO once it became appearant the the eu ppl wouldn't help dlgamer should have offered to supply a new activation code. That would be the professional way of dealing with user problems like this. It shouldn't be that hard to get the old code invalidated at Secure Rom, it's only good for 3 activations anyway. So if you're thinking of trying to join the gang on the eu servers hope like hell you dont get a hiccup when you try to register or you will be fraked. Make sure you document every email you exchange with the company and have screenshots of error messages. And go with Visa I know they will charge back on this kind of bs. Which not only takes your money out of the merchant's pocket, it makes the merchant in danger of losing access to credit cards if they get enough complaints. For an online merchant this is suicide.
  4. At least from my reading that file mainly deals with the hacks needed to convince the uk Ice and Blood onto the us Sacred 2. In DLGamer's case they seem to have made the process trouble free, other than a seemingly undocumented need for patch 1.40uk international. I will check later tonight and refresh my memory of the process. I will also be taking advantage of the email address you supplied. I hope it isn't a big hassle for them to have to provide support for a version they don't even have the rights to sell and profit from.
  5. Both my friend and I seem to be totally screwed by this but it's hard to tell with him because his tolerance for frustration is much lower than mine. I made an initial account. I may have screwed up and used the sacred 2 key rather than the ice and blood. The game appearantly rewrote my name into something more acceptable to it. I wrote down everything but when I try to log in with the name the game gave me and the pass word I chose I get told the account does not exist. Attempting to create a new one gives me an error about the login server being down. And worst of all there's no bloody official support or I haven't found any. I know some of you guys are connected so if you could at least get someone to set me up so I can log in I'd appreciate it. It's either that or try hamachi and I'm having equally bad luck with that. My friend at this point would have pitched his disks out the window if he had any so until I get my problems solved he's unlikely to be interested. Thanks a ton in advance for any help you can offer. To answer your initial questions, we both downloaded the version from dlgamer so I assume they matched. I had to yell at my friend about the light/dark thing but eventually that got organized as did hard core though the colored rings so obvious to us long time players aren't to a genuine newbie. Can't even get in the lobby though I think I may have the first day though no one was there so it is doubtful I was in the lobby.
  6. Well dispite having no problems finding both keys I'm real tempted to grab a refund as well. I've had no end of problems this weekend starting with the fellow I bought 2 copies with being unable to see my games to join, to being unable to log in dispite having written down the information gave me at the time. It's pissing me off. Finally convinced a rl friend to play Sacred 2 with me and the damn thing wont work. Not to mention the appearant complete lack of support.
  7. Ok after a while of playing a non upgradeable Sacred 2 I convinced a friend he was missing out so we both went out and bought Sacred 2 gold from DL Gamer. Now the fun started. After trying without luck to get hamachi to work, we tried logging into the official EU servers cause that's where I hear you guys all hang out. However. After logging in and using my serial number then logging out the server insists no such account exists. When I supplied a username , eg john, it gave me XX2AAjohn. I assume that is the one I should be using. Has support completely vanished for Sacred 2? Is Hamachi our only hope now?
  8. How can a fist weapon be 2handed? Unless you mean 1 weapon slot is the equivalent of 2 weapons, like the gladiator glove weapons in Sacred 1 that looked like a pair of mittens. I wonder if dual wield would work as the weapon lore for them? Chattius have you tested dual wield on any of your kung fu builds to see if it does anything?
  9. I'm not sure about this advice. Tactics lore on the Shadow Warrior gives you mod points in both Death Warrior and Malevolent champion arts so it can be quite an efficient use of points. As well, ih and 2h hafted are the same skill so indeed mastery will be achievable at the same time. Maybe you meant sheild and hafted? While you would have trouble mastering them at the same time, you would still hopefully unlock shield mods for block % with the skill.
  10. Hello and welcome to the forum. Your playing an Inqusitor? you will find the start of the Blue class quest in Sloeford. it is only available in Campaign mode on Console and off-line SP on PC. Also, be aware that "blue" quests for the Inquistor actually have dark red ? over npcs heads. They can be harder to spot when it's dark.
  11. That got it thanks. No legendary, but a nice unique anyway. Hunting Amulet. Dex 15 ranged 7 on platinum.
  12. Hmm. Just checked Ruka. No Master Hunter. No npcs with labels at all.
  13. I heard that the master of the hunt quest in the orc lands gave a legendary amulet reward so I tried it. But, after the 3rd quest in the chain it seems to dead end. The quest text says I should go see the master hunter in the orc capital of Grurag-orc but I have no clue which city is the capital. I tried Zu'Zuruik where you see the clan leader to get the Octagolamus quest but there is no master hunter there. I also tried Sloptok but no luck there either. Has anyone completed this quest?
  14. Any npc companion yes. Summons and charmed ones will give you xp though. The bears won't neither will Hansi and I imagine any other npc that joins you for a quest wont either.
  15. Great guide. One thing that occurred to me is with the mod to share damage with your party the 2 free bear pets in the game just got a whole lot more useful. Though I guess on free play it'd be a bit of a pain to go grab them every time.
