Etherian

ahh finally! I used to read these short stories to my nephew in New Mexico before our son was born. For little tikes short stories, I actually really got into the story arc. Lets hope for the best! I remain, Etherian

Welcome to the FDM Dennis. Enjoy your stay! Now perhaps we all have an outlet to discuss the wonderful state of Montana. My family and I have been trying to get over that way for over a decade. I remain, Etherian

^^^ ^^^ apparently I was confused also. Thanks for clearing this up Loco. I remain, enlightened

Vouche. Loco was boosting the two of us. Furian was bored I remember. I was shoping. At the time I thought nothing of it...the Furian says, "hmmm level 111". I was like ok, continued to shop. He tele's back to start island. Successful! This SW is a real tank! I remain, Etherian EDIT after the complete guide was updated: Furian, by far the best build guide I have found here! The amount of detail and explanation is incredible. I hope many more updated build guides come pooring in after this inspiration. The amount of attention to detail is exactly what some of us newer players need, primarly after the Ice and Blood update. 5 stars

No No gogo. Its not you who is crazy. The devs on the other hand "LoL". Electric poo at best would make you jump higher and farther then the real steaming piles. I mean whoa, not only steaming but shocking! Run, Jump & Hide. This pile packs a punch!

Epox, I have read your threads and posts deep in the dusty pages of DM. ~eyes watering from all the dust particules in the air~ Welcome back! I remain, Etherian

Welcome to the FDM, enjoy your stay! I remain, Etherian

In game if you move the mouse cursor to the upper left. Your character avatar is present. Hover over this avatar and hit "F" key. A list of information appears. There is one in particular. A stat called, "collateral damage". What does this stat mean exactly? Does this affect anything in game? How does the stat work? Is it important? Does it benefit or become a malus penalty? Thanks for all the information in advance. I remain, Etherian

Amazing! No stone unturned in this write-up. These type of build guides are much needed here after the Ice and Blood update. Thanks Furian, this is perfect! I remain, Etherian added: Furian and I, well moslty Furian, farmed the Guardains with his build. I thought I saw his damage but apparently this is impossible? Either way, their life span was brought to a hault with this build in game. Instead of their life going down in small slices, massive amounts where being eaten up in 1 fell swoop. Very impressive!

Spunky, Although we have never meet online. I follow your posts often. Very informative! Much appreciated on this end of the screen... CONGRATS...virtual spirits on me! I remain, Etherian

Whoa Loco, that job would certainly keep you on your toes! But also has a taste of fulfillment? You see to it that up to 200k people recieve their important mail. ~daily~ My hats off to you, the true hero's of ground, air and sea parcel communication. gogo, the book your refering to was later made into a movie. This movie is titled: "The Mangler" or "The Manglar", scary ventures. I remain, Etherian

Please try to remember. If this is your first char. the grind from 1-30 is always the hardest part of a build for me. After level 30'ish builds usually just begin to start blooming. Which in turn makes killing a bit easier. If this is your first character. Try doing as many quests as possible for the added experience. While doing these quests youll also get the added experience from killing along the way. Dont be shy with your mentor potions either. Ive found these to be a gift at low levels. If you dont like questing much, which I hope you do, as questing is half the game. Try a free play server completeing the Kobold Cheiftain quest over and over. Kobolds render decent experience. at low lvls with mentors going full. The Cheiftain himself is not all that hard really, even for a weaker build. Can also garnish you some much needed equipment upgrades from drops as well. Another great semi-boss to farm is the Wild Boar. The Boar also drops decent equipment and gives alot of experience with mentor's up and running. Hope this helps! I remain, Etherian

dang Woody. Hunter + Lifeleech level 57 is the real killer! What a tank...hardly touched. Sorry Spunky had to take a beating while running tests. Spunky, if its for science. No beating can hurt to bad my friend. Be proud! Your name is now part of a tested & proven experiment. I remain, drooling

I may just have stumbled upon my new addiction? After I finish my new techbabe. I will sink my teeth into this beauty for certain. This build seems very interesting. I remain, Etherian

WHOA this is totally unexpected...thanks to you all. LoL @ Chris. So you did notice that in the application. I mean honeslty, I thought noone read the Q/A. Even on an official app. I find more and more suprises all the time. Have a great day everyone! I remain, 32

To what purpose? I don't visit the SIF so I couldn't say what they know over there. But anyone is welcome to come visit us here at our home. Well said Chris...^^^ very matter of fact. From reading this informative information. I recall a very similiar scenario while playing diablo. An almost identical ~not exact but very close~ approach to becoming insainly overpowered even at very low levels. Is it fair to offer up: booster suits are the future? I cant imagine why not. These suits will become a virtual credit card. "Never leave home without it." PRICELESS I remain, Etherian P.S.- one quick question on my way out. If boosting buffs to such high lvls and already attaining faster then light kill speeds. Would it really be necessary to boost Combat Arts as well?

Hi Adam, I cannot vouch for there being many console players here. But I can give you a warm welcome. Enjoy grinding and collecting your loot. There is a ton of both in Ancaria, enjoy. I remain, Etherian

Meet up in game today with dreeft. This guy is rock solid. I offered dreeft luck in game, thought I would drop a line within his application thread also. My best wishes are for you my friend. Dreeft for the WIN... I remain, Humbled

I just cant seem to get over this thread. I just finished reading pages 1-9 every post. The amount of support here at the DM still is just blowing me away. I mean really this is amazing! Here's to the HC Graveyard... Honor our fallen... I remain, Etherian

Thats a great looking set for the SW. Reminds me of a Roman foot soldier. Perhaps the SW is trying to remember the glory days of old. When he wasnt an Astral being. Very nice work gentlemen. I remain, Etherian

Hello to my extended family! Before I make my application official. Please allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Jason Musante. My family and I live in Culver, Oregon also refered to as, "Central Oregon" within the high desert. We live on a 147 acre farm in and around farm country. Alas, this farm is not ours. By trade I used to build multi-million dollar custom homes most of us can only dream of...myself included. Once the economy took a turn for the worst, to maintain my families well being, I redurrected my career and now work for a local distribution company. Which currently is maintaining just over 12,000 accounts. Read further for more interesting information... Some time ago, I wrote an Introduction pertaining to my newfound adventure wishing to dwell in Ancaria. If you feel the need please refer here: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14682 It did not take long to realize when I randomly stumbled upon DM, this community has very speacial attributes. These virtues are quite rare within the webverse. Honor, Patience, Dedication, Selflessness, Humor, Inteligence, Comrodary this list continues to grow as my time here also continues to grow. At first I have to admit, all of the above seemed to good to be true. While playing Diablo & Diablo 2 for years. I had not found all of these attributes placed under one roof. True, these virtues are present, but certainly not together. For this reason, I know I have found a permanent home under the DM [D.a.r.k] roof. ~poor analogy, best I can come up with at this time~ I firmly believe, one is only as good as whom one surrounds himself. By this I mean, all of whom I have dealt with here at the DM & online in game are people I will enjoy getting to know and game together for years to come. Q/A Q: Favorite Pizza Topping? A: Italian Salami, no other topping even comes a close second. I prefer Dry. Q: Favorite Drink? A: pale ale spirit named Mirror Pond. Crafted right here locally in Central Oregon by Deschutes Brewery. Earth2O h2o is a close second! Q: Where did you hear about darkmatters.org from? A: Google, is it not the future? Q: Most favorite book ever? A: not 1 but 3. LOTR trilogy. Q: Favorite movie of all time? A: Blade Runner~Director's Cut Q: Current Favorite Game? A: Sacred 2 Ice & Blood, no really! Q: All time best video game ever played? A: Diablo 2 LoD expansion. Only because I have intimate knowledge of this game and its dynamics. Q: Favorite sport or hobby? A: Wood Crafting. Now if only I had $100k to purchase my wood shop! Q: What do you want for your birthday? A: This is a great question, my wife keeps asking this also. My birthday is tomorrow and still have no idea? Q: Do you know anyone from our forum? A: at first Loco was kind enough to take me under his wing. Furian has also been a great friend. I have meet up in game with gogo and in lobby on several occasions. Just last night I was in game with Dragon Brother. Ashley is also another great example of a kind person. Surround yourself with greatness, you also become great! Q: Who can you get and name from this forum that can personally vouch for you as a trusted member? A: gogo gave the thought of applying. But all of the aformentioned, I believe would vouch also...? If not, I would still vouch for them, they are pure greatness! Q: If applying for Fellowship Status do you agree to abide by all the posted Rules of the Fellowship? A: Always. "Raises my right hand, with left hand on LOTR trilogy." I welcome you all, please consider welcoming another member. I remain, Etherian

gogo's pants are right below the primary kobold camp. Refer to the Kobold Chieftain quest within Sloeford. Another clue to finding this particular grave. There is a cave near by...once in the cave, if you venture far enough into it...you will basically be under where you would battle the Cheiftain. P.S.- within Ancaria you will find many graves with the same names associated to a specific person. Personally I have discovered 3x gogo gravesites. And a whopping 4x Schot 6 footers. The question I have to ask myself is: "The stories attached to the name. ie: gogo's pants, schots whiskey." These must be Legendary! But, alas, no mention of the story. Although I know some here know these stories. O' please do share...perhaps over a cup of joe? I remain, Etherian

FDM Welcomes you Rndm! Times are great here at the DM. Friendly crowd! Very helpful! Bounding with ancient knowledge, lost in time. I think of it as the "Library of Alexandria" before it burned down ages ago. The DM has retained this knowlege. One needs only have the time to sift through it all... Have a "fan"tastic time here! I remain, Etherian

Few weeks ago, lost a level 45 DW seraphim to a harpy champion within the Cursed Forest. Just yesterday, lost a level 65 soldats technobabe build to a few fen fires surrounded by blood dryads on Dryad Island. This 1 hurt far more then the DW. Love this build and had tasty gear on her as well. The tinwora's will be the hardest to replace. I read they are a common drop. But alas, I have never found 1 as of yet. This 1 I had gotten from Loco at level 30'ish. I find the level 1-30 grind the hardest to accomplish. Although I have never been over 65 as of now. I truely love playing chars who are just on the brink of blooming. That techno build was really a pleasure to play after level 60. Was romping everything in sight with ease. Till the fen fires got the best of her...as usual when death calls, it seems to happen so fast. Not like the stories you hear. People tend to say life seems to move in slow motion. Recapturing all past events of value as time stands still. I beg to differ! Both these knocks came so fast, hardly had time to react. Space Bar clicking, "G" spell summoned, "F8" alittle to late. So much to accomplish in so little time it seems. I remain, Etherian

The count keeps rising. More and more Sacred 2 gamers are finding our EPIC community. The moderators & general members gotta be loving this fact. The knowledge keeps expounding. <--- pour use of a word O_o... Long live FDM, this fansite deserves immortality! Welcome to DM. I remain, Etherian
