Stormwing

Yeah, I wouldn't really want to drop CD, as it adds more variety to the combos, which I very much like meself. I don't even remember, if I ever pulled out a char with Shields... But still, I only ever got around mid-Platinum with my DW-Seraphim, around early 90'es, if memory serves. I'll see how this little experiment works out.

Don't have a thing to add. These fellas know their trade. And thanks, DB, for reminding about the late bloomer- tag on these setups. Started a similar build just today, after a loong, loong time. Recently reinstalled Windows on SSD and also made few other tweaks. So Sacred 2 shall be my little test subject here. *snicker* And it's almost like a fresh start for me. Accidentally forgot to back up my saves. (Curse your Ascaron for putting saves on different place than the norm!) I admit, I will be making few shortcuts here and there. But I won't simply want to twaddle all those hunnerds of hours only for the heck of it. So, it'll be bargaining glory once again. Whee... But to not go totally OT, what's your setup on that variant, DB? If I understood correctly, Ancient Magic somewhere? I guess I should be playing safely, but I guess Shield Lore could be dropped in favor of AM. Noticed with the couple of HE casters that it really is essential if one's to play full caster.

Uhh... Be well all who has to deal with excessive amounts of that white wonder... Luckily we have a comfy -2C and seemingly only little to none snow. Which is really good, as I'm deffo not touching a shovel anytime soon. Got quite nasty flu or something. Mebbe from the cruise and our adventures on the deck. Me, without jacket. Seems like I ain't from the lineage of bears, as one of my friends seems to be...

chattius: Too much of a hassle, at least for me. Haven't been using any of these. Only have experience with Avast and Microsoft Security Essentials. The latter with Window's own firewall has been an adequate protection. I do a lot of questionable browsing every now and then, and sometimes something hits the radar, but I haven't gotten any problems after Blaster and the likes were on rampage. 10 or more years ago, I guess.

A warm welcome. Nice to see more old peeps coming back to our little realm. I'm of the more recent "recruitments", but I remember seeing some vids back in the day. Was lurking around even then.

Nice one, chat. Weather's been kinda meh. Was in Stocholm yesterday. I guess it was around +1C or something. Slush everywhere and more snow raining. We returned Helsinki last night and today was same there, even worse. More snow, more slush... And back home, showeling that same wonderfull white substance. I think I'll pass. Shoveling will have to wait for tomorrow. The cruise took it's toll.

Ahh, brings back sooo much memories. And it's been quite a lot of time since I've played it, so prolly everything after the tutorial house is "new" to me too. Few bits and pieces here and there I can remember, but it'll surely be a nice refresh. Should also add Baldur's Gate: Enchanted Edition to play-queue. I never got into it back in the day and the discs I later bought just collected dust on the shelf. I blame my console for getting me used to all that fancy stuff.

Heck, it's been ages since I've played Monopoly, so I'm not too sure which I used to take. Guess it was the boot, but not too sure about it. Also, the kitten is a great addition. Cats ftw!

Didn't notice, if this was appointed earlier, but it seems there's something funny with the Downloads-section link of the newest patch version. Gives 404-error all the time for me. Though the link on the first post of this thread seems to be working. Just a little heads up.

QFTI liked the options in Titan Quest too. Clocked quite many hours in search of better gear and incredients for artifacts and such.

Hhm. I have a massive backlog of things to watch. Currently watching Game of Thrones too. Rewatch before I get my hands on the second season's blurays. Guess the next one is Dark Angel.

Yay! Guess this could something to get as pre-purchase, if gaming gods are smiling at me. Something to fill the void of Diablo 3, which even Torchlight 2 couldn't completely do. Still awaiting thos with great anticipation.

If only... I've become aspiring Tales-fan after completing Graces f, and delving a bit into 3DS-incarnation of Abyss. They are really abundant games with rich caste of characters, places and lots of other things. I admit while what we know of Sacred 3 is quite little, it seems to me awfully more limited than the afforementioned series. Like I've said in many times before, I'd pretty much hope that I have to eat my words in that regard. Now I've gotten the inpression that S3 would be quite dumbed down and streamlined compated to the predecessors..

Yep. Capsaisin only fools your body that it hurts. There is no actual damage. Well, save straight input to eyes or something like that. And the excessive stimulus could hazardous to some, say, heart disfuctions and such. Not to mention those with allergy to papricas, etc.

Gogo: I think chattius and Wolfie covered all the pointers in there. And the gloves thing; deffo not marketing. I have far too many, too warm memories of handling chiles... And yeah, there are animals which can eat those monsters just fine. Birds for example. They miss the receptors which cause all that misery to us. >_<

Yeah, happy, albeit perhaps late, birthday. Hoping for a great year ahead. And also warm thanks for all the hard work for community. Cookies are in me.

Hmm, I might actually be interested, now that I'll have all preqs for decent experience. For myself, and mates thanks to decent connection. Next weekend is a no-go as we'll be cruising for Stockholm, but otherwise I'll be good to go. Either with Dragon Mage, both sides. Or Celestial Seraphim.

Yeah. Me three, Mr. Gogo, sir! Actually, just for the record, I thought of reinstalling it on SSD, where my OS now resides. Gotta see how it whirls from there, as I always noticed some lagging when running from normal HDD... Loading times should not be an issue this time along. Might actually put a couple others there as well, since free space ain't an issue now. ^^

Gotta agree with that, Wolfie. Though I've been taste testing simiilar sauces, teaspoon at a time. If one has the tolerance, it's not that bad. That's when the stale effect is most obvious. Not anything I would receommend to anyone, but I've noticed that we Finnish chileheads are notoriously known of most stupidest feats around. Reminds me of friend's experiment with Naga Morich and Habanero flavoured 80% vodka. That was pure gasoline, I tell you... Oh, and a link for local forum English thread about certain sauce, spiced up with 6.4m SHU extract. That is quite nasty stuff, especially if one's on the more amateurish side of the hot stuff. >_<

Damn! Even that blade sort of reminds me of those monstrous pods I've seen. Nice one, Scleameth.

Wolfie: Wonder why they used extract into that when such heat level is attainable with the chiles I mentioned. Mind you pure extract will bring somewhat cartoon-boxy, stale flavour... That has always been the problem for those extremely hot sauces and such... Although, truth to be told, at those levels not many care about the flavour, but still. You should try to get your hands some 3 A.M or the likes, it's about thrice as hot as that Habanero stuff. If for nothing else, than curiosity.

Forget about GP, Naga, or the like, AFAIK this babe is even nastier. Though truth to be told. it really doesn't matter after the first million Scovilles. Few years back I did do such a thing, with a burger, also comely named as, Death burger. And man, that was a true fight. I doubt I could do that again. Haven't been eating really hot food recently. Guess I should try a similar thing, if it's still going on Gringos Locos, a local mexican food chain here. But I think I would need a serious training to tame the beast, whatever it might be. Gotta admit, though, Gogo, that The Four Horsemen seems to be a little tougher, being 20 mins instead of 30, as with the Death Burger, or previous Grincos contest, where the time limit was one hour.
