Happy B-day Ari!

Hello and welcome Hornet!

Welcome to Dark Matters mate! Hope you have a great time here on the forum as well as in game!

You are right. Our members even the best behaved ones do tend to go crazy over there. When I remember what kind of topics they where starting and the work load we had better keep the vacation spot hidden.

There is always a chance Schot will get the holiday house up and running. So we may have a place to visit while the main site is down.

Damn this is a real shock. I remember Penny from back in the old S1 days and even in Sacred 2. She was such a nice person always pleasant to talk to. Had no clue she was fighting cancer. She will be dearly missed.

So no one got to 200 how sad.

Sorry to get this answer a bit late. I have been playing Star Trek Online like mad and didnt see this before. Glad you like the build and you are having fun with it. Let me answer some of this questions of yours. Before I do keep in mind I am not one of the players that has a calculator in hand and tests out numbers of how things should work. I play games for fun and create things and field test everything so everything I right is field tested why it works or how it works I may not know. I think that with Ice and Blood out DeathBlow no longer works for the caster HE. So you can ignore deathblow you wont get any help from it as fare as I know. Not sure never used it myself. It may work with casters but I never want to have my regen time linked with chance to hit something. Not sure if I understand what you ask here but Inc Skin main role in this build is to help cut down the regen time of your Pyromancer spells. DAL is here just for me and no one else LOL. I started the game then I found everything new and I liked to test out. So I took the lore as well. From time to time I used DA Combat Arts to give me a change of game play pace. But as a build you dont need it here you can take something that you like more. So you can take it out freely. Barg. is very very important in this game. If you are new that means you dont have a brag. toon so the HE may be that one for you. In your game time you will need to change and upgrade your gear and the +skills stuff doesnt come from monster drops(well it does but the chances of getting what you need are very low). You will need to shop a lot to get the rings and amulets you like. On this forum you will find many topics that talk about barg. and how important it works. Simply put you have a barg. Gear set with a lot of +Barg. in it and you go from shop to shop(most people go human outpost - swamp - start isle) and check to get the stuff you need. High Barg. makes better gear show up in the shops. I dont know at what level it will happen. Not good with the math. But once you have all the mods in place start reading the runes till the penalty for reading to much doesnt get to high. I dont know what level you are but in the early game around levels 30 I used mostly GI for regen cut. Hope some of this answers helped out. Its been a some time since I was playing Sacred 2.

I love Mass Effect. I like Mass Effect 2 less then the original but still its a great game. I dont have a problem with scanning all the planets for resources in a way that part was a relaxing aspect for me. But I did have other problems with the game. 1. No ground APC. How can they kick the APC out of the second game I have no clue. It was so much fun to drive around in it and explore planets and when you run into a base take out the defenses with the APC weapons before going on foot. 2. No hot key or way to get the helmet off. Whos dumb idea was to get that part out of the second game. To people that havnt played mass effect this may look funny but a couple of things people need to know. First helmet provides bonuses so you need to use it. But if you have a helmet on you cant see your face and cant see the expression your character makes. And in a game like Mass Effect where the face is so developed its nice to be able to see it. 3. The downloadable content armors have fixed helmets so you cant take them off its the armor or nothing at all. 4. Cant give what ever weapon I like to the NPC companions only limited to what the can "use" by default like gun and riffle. So you can only pick from them. 5. Cant change armors on the companions. Whats up with this part this is such a big turn off. They got there fixed armor and you can only change there armor color or skin once you finish there personal quest. The strange thing is that all of the things I said above Mass Effect had but for some reason Mass Effect 2 doesnt have. So so strange that they would chose to take out a big depth part of the game. As for the story its solid and a nice continuation of the original Mass Effect.

Thats a good question. Plus if you take a look at his post count there is something botish like there. But the answer is no gogo is not a bot he is a human bot hybrid.

I'm right with ya there Knuckles. I was about to provide a nice warm welcome, when I saw gogo's massive BOT YOU SHALL NOT PASS! lol You know what you just did? I have a picture of pantless Gogo with a Gandalf staff in his hand saying BOT YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Welcome to Dark Matters levis888! Hope you have a great time here on the forum. We do love to talk here and only nice talking so you should feel right at home. So where you from mate? Oh and not to forget see you in the bar!

Well I have been playing the game for 2 days now, so I think its time to give my start thoughts on it. First of this is my first MMO so anything I write is based on how I so this game. About the PC demand I will say that my average PC runs it like a charm. Graphics look great so that will be about the hardware as I see it. No lag runs great. Character creations. There are a LOT of options here you can play around for hours making your avatar just the way you like it. But this doesnt end with your own look. The game has the Starship aspect which mean youi can spend a lot of time creating the ideal ship you like. So if you thought that was it you must not forget your bridge crew. You can design them in detail almost as much as you can design your own avatar. Now about skill points and everything else. This is a very original game. I really cant say I have played a game like this before. This in a way comes from the games dual avatar nature(your character for ground missions and your ships for space combat). So you are building your character to be able to fight on the ground with weapons/hand to hand and to be a space commander at the same time. This means you have to think about every point you spend. Will you spend it on a space skill or on a ground skill. Now I will say something about the other original thing. Thats your bridge crew. You can have a tactical, science and engineering officer at any given time. And you spend bridge crew points to level them. Every time you do that you get better options on them when you use them in space or ground. Example a tactical officer can use photon bombs on ground missions or in space he has the skill lets say in my case to fire more photon torpedoes. One more thing is the gear you find and shop for. This is gear you can have on your character like phasors shields armor and a lot more. And theres gear you have for your ship like canons torpedoes engines shields and many more. Simple put the complexity of making the perfect character will take some time for me to get used to. Now about quests(they are called episodes here like in the tv show, how cool is that ). I have doen some so fare and they are very fun. I love the fact that they are complex even at the start and that they are not just go kill this or that. They have that star trek feel. You need to listen to what the NPCs say even answer correctly to resolve problems. A great feature which I came to experience first hand was the auto team up system. This means that the episode you are doing if others are at the same stage as you they will auto join you so you can all complete it together. Normally you can turn it of but in a way this really helps when you start a quest that is more then you can handle on your own. Well time to go back in game. I am having a blast time to sink some birds of prey. New info coming soon.

Welcome to Dark Matters!

I bought the game 2 hours ago. Am torrent downloading the game so I can start playing it. Went over the manual and so far it look super super cool. Cant wait to try the dual avatar concept and play a game in which you command a squad. So I will keep you all up to date with how it starts and how it goes. Hope other of you Star Trek fans plan to jump in. This game looks to be something special!

Welcome to Dark Matters!

Split the request for gear from the guide and here it is as a stand alone topic in the console game version. Here you can get more response. Changed capital letters to normal.

Welcome to Dark Matters!

Its our local Sun God himself.

keyser soze the guide is made for the toon to progress to this high levels of HP and Armor. Setting up the proper gear helps you get that large numbers. They get even higher later on. infamousNSA Oh sure. You can see that Dea. Lore was just something I took for my self as a personal choice. So since you have barg. all ready you can drop ether one Barg. or DL.

To get does last levels was: Starting with the easter egg quest. then jumped in grunwald and start the magic shield quest and in the process of doing the easter/magic shield do all the mini quests near by. Once I finished the magic shield quest jump to desert better said in Khorum do the basement quest take around 1min in total. Then jump to El-Darrag do the chain quest that out starts there for more experience. Its been almost a year so I dot recall how much experience in total it gave me when I did all of them but I know I got the elapse time down to 20min. Before restarting the server. The key thing is to have a good time of people that will play with you over and over again when you go for 200 and they should be talking a LOT lots of Jokes so you will have something to read and keep your spirits up or you will surely start to get the feeling of how stupid the final aspect of Sacred 2 is when getting to 200 and how limiting your options are.

Grats Barris! It was about time Dark got a new level 200 toon. What boss did you kill for the 200?

Its a new year and on the movie scene it will be a great one. There will be some great movies to look forward to. Heres what I have found so far. CLASH OF THE TITANS - March 26 A remake of the classic movie, it may end up to be as good as the original. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - April 30 Another blast from the past, remake on this legendary horror movie. Freddy will be back in april IRON MAN 2 - May 7 This is something I cant wait to see and I will probably be watching it over and over and did I say it over again. ROBIN HOOD - May 14 I always loved robin hood but I somehow cant get the fact that Russell Crowe will be with a bow and not a sword. PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME - May 28 A famous game inspired movie. It looks great should be a great thing to watch. THE A-TEAM - June 11 Go figure another remake should be a memory trip for some people this year. JONAH HEX - June 18 A western DC comic gets its big screen time. No trailer for this one yet sorry. THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE - June 30 This one doest have a trailer yet but it will cash in a lot at the box office for sure. THE LAST AIRBENDER - July 2 Its a remake of a tv show for the big screen I think it was called avatar but it needed a new name since some one stole it. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOW: PART 1 - November 19 Hmmm what to say. Gogo will go nuts over this one? THE GREEN HORNET - December 17 One more super hero movie for the end of the year Christmas time. TRON LEGACY - December 17 This one should be something special for the end of the year. It looks like a great movie year. There are other movies as well but couldnt find trailers for everything. So made this pick.

I used the names that are listed in my game version. I dont really know what the other names are and no one had any problem with finding out which is which. As for the wiki I dont know what is going on there and if they have changed the names or not. At the time when I was writing the guide all the links were valid and pointing correctly. As for the Fire ball not being used later you can read next to each Combat Art in the guide more about it. It says next to AF that it is only for early levels and that BT will be used 99% of the time. Plus as you pointed out later in the discussions not just me everyone agrees that you can do what ever you like with it. In my guide its as I used it.
