[Hello]

Hello, hope you'll have a good time here

[Sacred worth trying? If so, which class?]

This is not the case that Daemon has something like enhanced drops. The only one built in mechanic for a single class to have a higher chance of dropping valuable items is Dwarf's CA Greed. Keep in mind that there are 2 more stats to increase your chance - modifier Chance of finding special items and Survival Bonus. Don't forget about one additional factor - your luck

I highly recommend levelling your characters more (if it's possible of course). I feel like most characters are most powerful after at least level 100 and it's more satisfaction in having 2 150lv chars than 8 50lv.

[Sacred worth trying? If so, which class?]

Because Sacred 1 isn't about making hybrids using 2/3 of class' CAs. You can do it, it can be fun, but it isn't that effective. Probably the best builds are high-Area of Effect-unavoidable damage ones, focused on 1-2 CA of one "aspect". You keep them on low regeneration and use over and over, don't mix magic with melee and so on.

Wood Elf using bows would be like this: Multiple Shot (18lv - 6 arrows), Penetrating Arrow (Regen 1,0-1,2s) and Quick as a Flash (1lv, she is sooooo slow). No sense to level anything else, penetrating arrow has a regen about 1s so it will be the only CA to use.

I always thought that Seraphim just does low damage. Most popular build is magic one. Maxing Rotating Blades of Light as much as you can. What would help very well is full Fadalmar + full Icon sets.

The advantage of non-hybrid builds is of course no wasting skills and skill points. When you focus on both melee and magic attacks you should have points in Magic Lore, Weapon Lore, Meditation, Constitution, Concentration, Heavenly Magic/Moon Magic... Already 6 out of 8.

[New Sacred 3 Game play review in Spanish!]

@SX255 Still thinking about pre-ordering Sacred 3 but I will be away from home for first 2 weeks of August so my review/thoughts would be little bit late. This isn't the game what Sacred used to be but seems enough for me to buy.

[Hiii]

Hello! Hope you'll have a good time here

[Sacred worth trying? If so, which class?]

Firstly, I want to refer to Sliver_fox's post. Silver said that runes in S1 are pretty rare. I haven't played Sacred 2 so I don't have any comparision but yes, runes are pretty valuable. It all depends on your character management because the more runes your char eats the less runes drop for you (dunno if there is same system in Sacred 2). Therefore, it's adviced to max ~2 skills.

But of course some builds may require more rune investment. Some players have their rune factories. Rune factory is a character which ate as least runes as possible. The most popular one is Vampiress with only one rune eaten.

Silver also mentioned that items boosting your CA (level I guess) are high-valued. Well, on lower levels it's actually true but wen you reach higher level there is more need in items that boost type of damage you mostly deal. Poison damage modifier will amplify Poison DE's damage more than levelling his skill, Poison Mist. It also won't increase its regeneration time, while boosting its level would do so.

 

Many possible builds are available for each class but to tell the truth most effective ones are huge Area of Effect damage ones. They are most popular but some people find them boring. For example, magic Daemon (with Blazing Discs) is just walking by while discs are killing everyone in your sight.

[Preview article about Sacred 3 gameplay features]

While all these complainments are completely true the obvious fact is that using "Sacred" trademark helps very much to reach a lot of more people who would be definitely not interested in brand new game like that. Right now you can see some posts on Steam like "Sacred 2 was awesome, gonna buy Sacred 3 100%". So it depicts how big is the influence of that one word: Sacred whereas lack of it would consequent in less interest. More interest = more money. Understandable.

They have to know what they are doing and I don't believe that they didn't expect negative feedback from Sacred fans. Maybe they faced a choice like "Use Sacred trademark, make somehow another game, say goodbye to old fans and make Sacred a trilogy, end the franchise and earn some money or don't focus on that game". Maybe they had that game already planned and just added the Seraphim. Maybe not.

Of course I don't find that twist enjoyable but kind of understand it.

[Hello guys, time for someone from Poland]

Everything I've done was extracting all this sound files from the .pak, but can't find the way to make it readable for the game.

[Hello guys, time for someone from Poland]

Well, as I said everything I did up till now is simple as ****. Of course I can share them with You and I will probably do so

Now when I have an access to all text in game I will focus on changing it. I want to change this idealistic world where everyone is so grateful and kind to something we know from for example The Witcher world with all bad language and things like that. Sounds pretty simple, gonna do this in Polish only (sorry, don't know much vulgarisms in English and none in German tho) but simply looking at those masses of text it should take me not that little time.

Then I will try to think about using modding stuff that guys from SacredVault left. Maybe some new items?

Another use of global.res that comes to my mind is of course changing the story which is a pretty big project...

 

Just reminding, don't expect any revolution like Thorium did. I don't to be under pressure

[Hello guys, time for someone from Poland]

Hi!

Thanks for sharing with me this app! Personallly, I can't even imagine how grateful I am. However, it doesn't work for me for some reason, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I located global.res file in the app directory and ran console in admin mode. Also tried some other variations, maybe still not correct ones and with english demo .res as well.

Sorry for posting it here, unfortunately Silver_fox has full mailbox and I couldn't send a PM.

 

EDIT

Ok, I found a solution. My computer thinks that I don't have enough permissions as an admin to access other folder than my Documents.

[Hello guys, time for someone from Poland]

It would be great to join your modding community

Nevertheless, my knowledge is pretty low to be honest. I've managed to create some skins for chars, weapons, change HUD a bit, switch models but there was not that much work as with for example new patch or even changing game code.

However, I'm not gonna give up about opening this global.res file and I hope that I can be somehow useful to anyone here.

[Hello guys, time for someone from Poland]

Hi everyone! It looks like you have not so many people from Poland so here I come.

I'm 19 and started playing Sacred in 2007. Sadly, my interest in modding Sacred grown about 2 yrs ago while only a year ago I found PhilRogal videos and thanks to them I could create some skins, but that's all. Still trying to find the way to edit global.res when the link form this site is down.

Anyway, my Sacred adventure began when I was visiting my friend. He showed me a game where you kill monsters and what multiplied my positive expression was definitely the fact that he was exploring Tyr-Haddar. Ice elves with lightsabers, what can be more enjoyable for 12 years old guy? Then I've come up with an idea of playing together. Although we didn't do so I fell in love with the game, bought Underworld expansion, started to play multiplayer and entered the polish multiplayer community, majority of them was www.sacred.pl users (biggest site about Sacred in Poland).

Then we had dark times of Sacred with servers being shut down and also some quarrel on the forum. Now the situation looks like: "Sacred is a really good game" - this is what actually a lot of people say. However, very little of them plays it and community is almost non-existant, I would say that there are some very small groups that still play Sacred and the number of them is certainly not high.

I actually kind of dream of reviving Sacred 1 somehow... However, people on sacred.pl don't seem to enjoy all that cool stuff about modding so maybe I should find another solution. Really great move was creating a guide to setup a server on LAN and play with other guys using Hamachi or Tunngle but it's too little.

What you probably see is the fact that I'm writing only about Sacred 1. Well, I got my Sacred 2 copy even installed for quite a long time (2 yrs?) as well as Sacred 2 Gold on my steam acc but haven't played it yet. Something on my to-do list. Well, to be honest it's because I was (or I am) leading a let's play channel on YouTube with my friend and some time ago we decided that "We will present EVERYTHING we know and can about Sacred 1 and then switch to Sacred 2" but yeah... After finishing Ancarian campaign we did very little to even keep our channel alive, not to mention more advanced stuff.

[Missing Town NPC Multiplayer]

For me it's all about the type of connection you selected in your options. As far as I know using the ISDN one comes with being marked as a "slow connection" user. Therefore, on multiplayer only NPCs you will encounter are these who are related to quests. Changing it to DSL somehow allows game to show You all villagers, animals and so on. However, as it stands for me, I can't connect to any server while using DSL option except the one I host.
