Heya, might also wanna check Damage Mitigation. Since you will be facing Ice and Fire HE's they will have no LL%. All damage you can mitigate will come in quite handy. Greetz

Hmmmm...... When I tried, I had no lag whatsoever, but then again I was alone in a locked server. What I understand here Woody, is that Open resembles LAN play alot...apart from the 'Local' that is. For me.... Closed was loads of fun with many Darkies there..... but as we all can see it is slowing down. Playing with the added content from CM would be alot of new fun to me. Is there really no way we could try and convince Deep Silver to allow the patch on Closed Net? Or at least on a dedicated server? On another note.... we could see how this will work tonight Woody, IF it works that is... I will be on around 21.30 I hope At least we would be able to establish an opinion on lag between Netherlands and France.... and make an educated guess on Europe vs. States Greetz

Heya, going back in for a bit! Greetz

4x Gold slots? Mine always have 3 and an elemental slot But anyways, it is the simple fact that it has low base damage and crap mods on it. You can overcome this a bit by socketing, but it still is not that great.... 1-handed alternatives: -Serpent Tongue -Flame Smiter -Ice Flash -Kal'Dur's Legacy -Lots of rares with decent mods and 2 sockets -Tinwora's Curse (Caster) -Arnums Prevalence (Caster) -Methedrin's Scepter (Caster) -Maybe even Ancrids for the double hits There are alot more, but these I would consider using outside the Kal'Dur's which is always great. Greetz

Yep! Port problem is a bit strange. I have yet to join a game, but can create without problems... If we would be able to get together, it really might be fun to consider a move. Greetz

Ok... ok! I wil cut down on Beetlejuice! Greetz

Heya, on my way! Greetz

How bout plain old unlucky...farming for about the same number of runs, finding a legendary relic in silver (so no mf bonus) then finding nothing for 800 more kills and then the toon dies... was a while ago...my legendary farmers since have been more lucky. DB vs. Barri 1-0 Greetz

Yah, real shame DB We don't get to play together much... But this is indeed the reason I openend this thread.... If everybody would agree to start playing Open, we could move as a whole. I am not one for making solo decisions But I do think it might be fun to swap.... there will be no more patches, aside from CM. I think we would have alot of fun collecting all the new stuff. Greetz Edit: Using Closed toons: check CM-patch: Check Seems to work properly.... although I think joining servers is different... I cannot see any, but can create.

Heya, yeah! I am always chasing them beetles Hehe, better drops from Guardians tho! Greetz

Heya, got most of my Closed toons backed up to SP. When starting Open, you can pick from those toons.... I tried, but got a port error, so guess I need to open one. As far as I can see now, it should work... Am fully with you tho on the locked server principle. Could easily be solved by using a common pass. Greetz

Heya, Will keep this short. I would like to know if anyone has considered moving to Open net HC? *afaik; we can export Closed Toons and use them there *afaik, we would be able to play with CM patch, which I find to be a very big pro; there is tons of new stuff; Legendaries/Sets/Uniques..... even quests! Maybe this would even revive interest for Darkies. How much active players are there? I cannot name more than 5 What does everyone have to say about this? Is it worth consideration? Does it even work the way I think it does? Greetz

yeah! But that is because I threaten to kill them if they don't Greetz

So if you figure Ellen's Commitment had a +1 Combat Skills - and the nerf was 50%, that would have made it +1/2 - and I don't think the game would know how to handle that. If it was a +2, then it wouldn't be so bad - it'd only be a +1 afterwards. There are instances where the game does know how to work with decimal skill values. Take a closer look at for instance double skill amulets, or even single for that matter. They all 'seem' to be a rounded displayed number. When you socket, sometimes they will increase due to the bonus from the slot, and sometimes they will not. Given the 15% bonus from a gold socket, there should be no way a +2 Bargaining amulet becomes +3, if it was really +2.0 In this example, the +2 Bargaining would really be around 2.6 Bargaining to be able to increase to +3. I can however really imagine that Sacred uses more than just the one way to calculate stuff After all.... this IS Sacred Greetz

Heya, farming over 200 Guardians for a Legendary and finding one of the many crappy ones! Always consider those unlucky lucky..... at best that is Greetz

Its not that realy easy, the melee damage isnt my only source of damge, the big part is deathly spears damage and since I have triple high level whets in it, damage on deathly spears will drop much without. y Heya, but it is good advice nonetheless. The Officer's Saber is a good trader sword at best. I can give you these at any level, but you really have alot of better options! Greetz

Heya, yah, I thought as much No problem! There are a few one-handers that do spawn with it: -Kal'Dur's Legacy -Rare shurikens -Unlockable Tom Felde's Thunderous Voice Sets that give LL% -CC-10 Combat for TG (Full set) -Detheya for Dryad (full set) -Revelation of the Seraphim (8 pieces) Twohanded - Rare Polearms/swords - Khral's Sceptre (Legendary) - Thunderstrike (Legendary) Maybe 1 or 2 that elude me right now If you ever need such stuff, feel free to ask! Greetz

Heya, 9% I would really like to see a screenshot of that one. Are you sure this is LL%, a brown modifier, instead of a yellow modifier? The yellow mod is not% based, but a fixed number. Besides, 10% would be way over the top, you are even hard pressed to reach that high with a Dual Kals wielding Dryad in Detheya. As Dobri said, LL% is not known to spawn on staffs. Greetz

Heya, in now... where art thou ? Greetz

Heya, trying to log in, but getting no Lobby Anyone else got problems ? Greetz

Heya, zomgod! It is Dmol! Somebody call the fire department! Well hey hey hey! Sure hope your father will get better! Any chance yer loggin in again with some Kamikaze build? Anyways, good to see you around, and very welcome back! Greetz

Heya, a game's greatest strenght is also it's possible greatest weakness. Works that way with people too... For instance: both systems have their pros and cons * Fixed level uniques are nice; but having to attain a certain level to be able to use perfect gear at that level is somewhat lacking. Certainly when you need to get to 85/100. *Scaling uniques allow for greater optimisation at all levels, with increasing boni. Downside is that if you have every piece of gear stashed, building powerhouses is too easy. All in all, my opinion would be: 'Lets keep Sacred Sacred and Diablo Diablo'. Greetz

Heya, as always Gogo, you know I am just kidding. I fully understand what you mean, and stand by that 100%! Good job keeping FDM the cool place it is! Greetz

Heya, Mort.... I generally don't trade. If you ever need some stuff, and you can find me on servers, I'd be happy to see what I have for you. Only Endi's Wings are on my 'keep' list. Got most lvls Holy Protection around too.... Greetz

Heya, how about larger script http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17552 Post #6 Greetz
