... on the German side of the official Sacred forum. if nothing went wrong with the upload, you should be able to download the zipped files including the new unskilled level 216 dwarf already -and in case you'll find the link to it (linked on SIF, but uploaded on GSF) if not, you have to level your dwarfs the old-fashioned way nah, just kidding - I'll hand it over to you after I found it again (just lost the link, strange.. thought I already had it on my clipboard) oh, btw: it's still too early for a ''Happy X-Mas in advance'' , but take the matured dwarf as a premature(d) ''this years X-Mas present'' anyway Have Fun, Greetings RL edit: back@my bro's flat today, well then here are the links: on SIF (sacred international forum): http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/sho...ead.php?t=41841 (only a collection of links to the files on GSF) on GSF (german sacred forum): http://forum.sacred-game.com/showthread.ph...2464#post462464 (start post has the attached .zip file)

had problems creating a session on open the other day, forgotten access-info to the router/firewall in order to configure it for the english lobby (only inbound/outbound rules for the german lobby already existed so far) however, figured it out now - should work for the next time... (just tried it out now, no probs so far, I'll keep the server up and running for a few hours beginning right now - 13:00 GMT+1)

hmm... think I'll hit the uw-closed hc servers right away, trying to gather some guys for a short, spontaneous open-session, doing some screening work by throwing my unskilled 216 dwarf into the session.. btw, if you haven't got the right niobium char yet - np: http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?sh...ic=6387&hl= if I find some peeps, I may set up a session on open. (servername: U216 PW: dark1)

sry for doublepost.. uploaded five of my old toons, you can use them as support characters (or for anything else) if you want to - they're nothing special, and not even close to perfect.. just boosted them with some LAN-saved stuff. the zip file includes a daemoness, battlemage, seraphim woodelf and a gladiator: http://www.file-upload.net/download-522883...tchars.zip.html for downloadable stuff on GSF you could also just look into the link-collection on SIF : http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/sho...ht=downloadable

hehe, well no... you'll have to improvise, I want it as authentic and real as possible - for a game now I could also say there won't be much text to learn at all if I'd cast (blonde) woodelfes and seraphims only, but uhm.. well. btw, I almost forgotten: sitting @ my bro's PC @ our parent's home atm, so we'll have to shoot weekends.. and first I have to try out if sacred's even running smooth enough on this machine here (it's my old 2nd computer I gave away to my brother when I moved to the other end of the town ~2 years ago.. only 512MB Ram and onboard-gfx) I also have some old highlvl toons left, at least my daemoness , gladi seraphim and perhaps even the mage are suitable for teamplay, however not really optimized (lets see, maybe I can tweak them a bit with some LAN-saved stuff) as already mentioned in the other thread, a group of 5 or 6 players would be nice: 1x unskilled char 2x daemoness (fire-daemon-form +200 and IP ~300 or higher; possible without using combo ) 2x battlemage (shieldwall and stoneskin are important, each one should be higher than 200 as well, if using combos, one mage might be enough>SW) 1x seraphim,woodelf or gladiator for additional support (if only one mage, I'd prefer a gladi with high DS+HC)

uh, oh? well, (cat's and) I prefer meat fresh and raw ^^ but, someday even I may buy one.. but, not for cooking... have some old plastic toys left, and there's so much other stuff one can put into a microwave.. hehe, have to google for it again.. what about crayons, glue, marshmallows, eggs... almost no limits...

I don't use plastic for cooking, I just can't stand the smell it's producing once it get's warm or even hot.. however, I sometimes store prepared food in plastic-ware/dishes.. but I only put stuff into it that's already cold. oh, and btw.. I don't use a microwave neither... pps: sorry, I and my poor english+skillz: I don't recognize the term 'nuking plastic'.. do you really mean you 'burn' plastic in your backyard or somewhere else?^^ or should I think of 'preparing food/dishes' using plastic cookware? I once 'nuked' plastic toys when I was a little young curious boy, secretly in my room... of course I believe that it can't be healthy inhaling those toxic gases that are freed in the process^^ however, I was lucky and no harm was done (except for ruining those toys ofc)

Coming soon: unskilled dwarf, level 216 after I cancelled my previous I-net contract I signed about one year ago, I coincidentally found Silearth's actual thread over here, and Ding! I already got something I could do @ home even without beeing connected ... so, long story short: it's the extended version of my own lvl140 dwarf I previously leveled 'ages' ago - however, after moving to niob I picked his 2 default skills to ease+speed up things a little bit.. but, of course - no points have been distributed yet.. I'm still working on the final 'package', but I think it's gonna include at least these 'essential goodies': no skill- or attribute points used no special-move/combat art higher than 1 all 5 dwarfen sets @ mlvl 179 or higher almost all unique items for the dwarf (except the ancarian hero-medal and sunglasses) a very small but fine selection of various weapons+yewellery 2 LAN-UW-Campaign savegames, incl. 40 runes/per CA all Ancarian&Underworld portals alright, last but not least, 3 fresh Screenshots : edit: one of the reasons why I'm not gonna releasing this tiny, mumbling hairy battle-bowl just now: I want to complete some nice ingame-movies first, and in order to do so, I would need - your help! Movie-Actors wanted, high-profile cast or supporting-actors.. doesn't matter, you all are same important! (however, my dwarf loves strong daemoness-performers best.. his taste, not mine *chuckles* ) no, serious: I recently encountered some major problems when I tried to shoot my first small clip: FRAPS only works with Sacred if played in fullscreen-mode - but on the other side, 1PC-multiinstancing with v.2.29.13GER only works while running sacred in windowed mode. you see? that's where you come into play: pick your favourite supporter toons, and meet me and my dwarf for a PW'ed Open-Session, Niob 3min/6max ... later, we could switch roles and you get your hands on the unskilled one, if you'd like too..

'unarmed' seraphim='boxer' seraphim='ripping claw' seraphim: as much items out of the dreamnettings of gods set as possible (if old school melee only), or full freyas (if hybrid with RBoL/Light..) 3 socket claws or 3 socketed knuckles (look for them @ the braverock double-traders) +attack rings, crit and leech stuff, go for physical dmg, boost phys regen or strg and be careful with niob vot/h-ridge.. better level somewhere else... possible skillz-table of choice for the melee-claw build: (as you see.. at least 2 or even 3 skills free -if you skip par/agil. take trade if you don't have a trader-char yet, pick ranged for socketing ettols/egills rings, for the hybrid choose ML+CM, and skip either PAR or AG for MED if you plan to use RBoL+Light frequently, or even add other spells.. just for RBoL+SoF support, you don't need 2 regen-skillz) Magic Lore Weapon Lore Meditation Concentration Celestial Magic Polearms Sword Lore Constitution Parrying Horse Riding Dual Wield Armor Ranged Combat Agility Trading that's it. seraphims-builds usually don't need long guides, but if you're interested I'm sure you may find what you're looking for somewhere @SIF/GSF...

I'll edid this post with a full list of castable buffs all chars have - once I'm @ home again, and only if I'm not too late, you guys are really busy&fast here as well all I can say is, the essential ones for the unskilled dwarf I once leveled have been: Infernal Power (daem.) >> enables the receiver to kill enemys with l-click standard weapon attack pretty fast >> booster: ''the one ring'' (uni) for higher fire-base dmg given by IP and this seraphim-unique ring that boosts the spell level+decr. regen Shield Wall (mage) >> for elemental res, it gives resistances to all 4 elemental types even though there are only 3 listed in it's tooltip Stone Skin (mage) >> I picked it for it's huge bonus to poison res and a moderate def bonus, it came in handy since I leveld the dwarf in the undead-cave near mascarell.. Light (seraphim) >> a level 400 Light buff? pretty helpful.. (boosted with those seraphim-unique rings, they give +magic dmg, +spell level, +regen ...) RBoL (seraphim) >> same as for light, the seraphim unique ring is also one of the best ways to boost this spell... that's it already, however you may want to have one of these chars twice to team up with: chars like the mage who have more than one really useful aura, might get problems with the regen of their spells if boosted pretty high.. with chars out of the same class you can prevent a possible shortage.. especialy 2 sukkubi are necessary in order to provide IP in all situations - there is a cast-timeout bug, it affects casting IP on teammebers: it's like this - you cast IP to another char which is running around with IP for lets say 60 seconds: then, the aura ends. but even if the daemons IP spell is already recharged, you can't cast it again to the same char, you have to wait for another 30-60 seconds before you can cast it to the same char again, if you experience lag in MP maybe even longer afaik, with a second daemoness you can bypass this strange 'cast-block', if they then support chars with IP in turn...

that's exactly what I said a WE can cast PA on all other toons, not only enemy monsters but also teammembers, hirelings, smiths, merchants... just use the 'ctrl+r-click' method for 'aimed-attack/shot' to cast the PA 'buff' onto teammates, NPC's... once you shot PA at friendly characters, they get targeted by the arrows like any enemy monster would be.. but since friendly players and NPC's can't die by the attack of any other human player, the arrows just keep swirling around and stick to you while moving, killing everything else crossing the arrows paths in the process.

you may want to try this in open, since you could use my unskilled level 140 dwarf I once leveled a long time ago.. I don't have I-net @ home atm, so the sad part is - I wouldn't be able to join you myself. but, after I read this, picked my own dwarf, equipped him with various set-items I found in one of my old saves, socketed about 15 dragon rings giving +17%experience each.. since I do have the german version, I'm quite lucky beeing able to use sacred vault's unofficial 2.29.13 patch this way, I am able to run sacred on one PC simultaneously multiple times, since the patch adds multiinstancing along with quite a bunch of changes preventing sacred to crash all the time (you can even use it on closed net and join v2.28 players, it's fully compatible) however, so I started a LAN session and joined it with the 140 unskilled dwarf as well as with some of my old 216 toons I played years ago: a mage for stoneskin and shieldwall, sukkubus for infernal power, a seraphim for light+RBoL, and a gladi for DS+HC boosting the dwarf this way, he can still kill almost every mob alone, when you cast penetrating arrows on him, he can even go against dragons etc.. long story short: a team supported unskilled char is able to survive, kill and lvlup even in niob.. if you find a nice bunch of players who might be willingly to go for a few sessions quite frequently, it would be also possible maxing out unskilled ones up to 216.. I once tried to find people for this kind of project (long time ago, on the german forum and before 2.29.13 ) unfortunately I never found enough players mad enough for this... some people also may fear just supporting a single player without killing monsters yourself might be boring.. but imho, it's quite funny, if you have 1-2 auras @ low regen to support the unskilled one, you have still plenty of time running around and kill enemies yourself... you can also rotate the order of chars people play with , so everybody get his hands on the unskilled char in the end.. it really would be damn cool if a group of sacred freaks would manage to max out one char this way, and if someone would take a few video clips of the gameplay every now and then.. might be funny too? who knows.. Greetings RL

awww! I met you online a few days ago, but I had not enough time to stay long... atm I can't help you since I'm without inet @ home, have to visit some guys in my family or some friends in order to go online and at least read some boards every now and then.. anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, wishing you good luck and a fast ride to 217.. yes, that's right, technically it's more like 2 levels than 1 what you have left in front of you know, since after max level, you may also want to max out experience completele - it's exactly level 217 minus 1exp point ah, whatever.. 2 or 1 level, that's nothing, not anymore, since you already managed sooo many levels in the past.. go for it, I hope I'll be able to drop in and say hello soon, in a few weeks...

hi, atm I'm sitting in front of my lil bro's PC @ his home... (thehe actually, it's my old 2nd machine I gave him since I'm fine with my 'new' one..) I narrowed down about 3 potential new providers now and I think I already know which one I'm gonna stick with.. today I have to return my old modem, so that I get back the deposit I had to pay one year ago.. whilst I'm not so a big poster around on all those sacred related boards anymore these days, what I'll really miss is just reading them... on the other side, I also enjoy taking a break for a few weeks, it also helps me to better focus on other RL stuff (I'm changing my job in mid of november as well, and had some craftsmen in the house last week, they installed new windows - nooo^^ not vista .. real ones, you know.. those the sun shines through, and you can watch out to see what's going on in the real world..)

met Funkilicious and his Jallina ingame a few days ago, however I'm not sure if I've been recognized... (wrote a PM without error-message, however this doesnt mean the messaging system in Mythos is 100% properly atm ) hmm.. started a new gadgeteer the other day , gonna bring him and a new pyro to ~15 or so today or tomorrow, before I'm gonna be cut off the net and I'll look for a new provider.. whatever.. I'm online right now for a few hours (15:30-20:00 gmt+1), need to chill out for the rest of the day since I've been @ the dentist today... oh, and sry again.. yes, I mean the Mythos Servers, not Sacred..

Aww... well I ran away from the dentist for over one year now, don't know how but I managed to (partly) intentionally 'forget' those last 2 routine-checks, one should allow the doc to make every 6 months.. inherited a certain common and quite good tooth-material from my ancestors - they all had shiny healthy teeth, made of good material - I was always very confident over the years that I wouldn't get into any troubles since I don't have very much bad teeth yet (only a few smaller inlays.. I prefer plastic ones btw.. you always get problems with those metal ones) however, with this in mind, I got more and more careless over the time, stupid me thought I don't need to brush my 28 crunchers 3 times a day, also often forgot to 'flush' my teeth with pure water or tea after eating stuff that contains a lot of sugar.. so, everything went well for quite a long while, but as time passed by, I payed very less attention after a while.. and then, 3 month ago or so, it happened; it had to happen.. my own fault...: I had this strange feeling whenever I was deeply breathing in cold air, drinking hot tea or slurping cold drinks... didn't realyl hurt, but it was this nasty, creepy feeling, quite unpleasant.. hard to describe.. but, you'll know what I mean if you had a small beginning cavity yourself too already.. this should have been already the final warning, but again.. I didn't payed much attention to it, still didn't thought that it might be high-time to pay my dentist of choice a visit.. so, it slowly got worse and 2 weeks ago or so, I finally felt a light pain for the first time, caused by one of my grinders, 7th tooth bottom-right... and finally I realised that I acted really stupid and irresponsible, I really should have payed more attention, should have cared better for one of the most important human 'tools' and - damn it.. should have visited the doctor these 2 times a year for a small and (normally) painless routine-check... so, end of the story is - I have now a provisional inlay, my dentist said I'll have to wait for the permanent filling for a few weeks, giving the tooth enough time to recover so he can see if it's only this one single cavity I felt... if not, then a root canal treatment might be indispensable.. I really hope I'll get away easily without greater complications once more this time, because it would be no fun at all if he had to dissect the tooth's roots in order to treat it (maybe there is some kind of pyic inflammation somewhere) I have a few friends and family-members who had already such treatment in the past, and I was told that these teeth could be real troublemakers then... first, I guess they aren't very strong anymore after that, and if the complete nerve is removed, you don't feel any new potential cavitys, and if it happens, it might affect surrounding teeth as well.. whatever, don't want to think about it anymore now, let's see what I'll get in 5 weeks - surprise !? ^^

playing mythos at the moment, and maybe I'll be online there for an hour or 2 or so.. atm I'm pondering about a new gadgeteer, but maybe I'll just bring my cinderblade pyro to 10..

Happy Birthday Alex! Wow, and I'm right in time, not too late at all?^^ Well it's easy to remember for me, exactly 1month+1day after my own b-day, thehe... congratz, hope you're having a great time this weekend.. don't try to eat the whole cake in one piece

..and haven't found a new one yet well all I only knew is that I didn't wanted to go with the provider I've got for a bit more than one year now, other companies have better conditions for even less money. it has become very popular to change one's provider after every year, since they don't update older products that often as they introduce completely new packages and rates... But, it will take more time than I thought to decide to which one I'll pay my cash in the future and I'm also waiting for any kind of x-mas special offers (there usually are a few in this period of the year) my actual inet-connection will end @ 31.Oct , I'm also monitoring a few new providers already and will make up my mind soon as possible since I need the net also for other things than reading&posting on a forum^^ (which is - as a matter of fact - also very important to me anway, especially the sacred related boards thehe..) I should find something adequate within a month, maxium.. ..so maybe you can expect me beeing back from 1st Dec on, at the latest So long, take care&have fun, RL

but what's the problem if others have also pyro? hmm.. well you could still make a pyro not everyone has, maybe cinderblade instead of flamecaster? hehe.. the reason why my own pyro is still that low is - besides the lack of more time - the fact that I couldn't decide if I'm gonna stick with cinderblade, making him a 2h staff swining melee fighter, or smth more 'mage' alike using flame serpents or this flaming darts (later, with ricochet-improvements bouncing off walls> quite funny looking) too bad that the Tinker build for gatgeteers doesnt work well atm, would be my second char besides the pyro where I'd like to push wis only.. some of his drones,turrets etc are really funny, but I guess we'll have to wait for one of the next updates before they're also usefull again.

Hi, just wanted to point out to this, as a small reminder... it's been quite a long time... ''Will I ever be able to edit own posts&threads I started myself?'' (at least I had forgotten it completely, but recently it came up to my mind again when I tried to edit the Mythos Account&Charname List:

Awwww! well, please change this within the forum's software/settings, it's very nasty: I can't edit my own posts once after someone else replies... however, I have to edit my posts very often, or at least I feel I had to how am I supposed to help a bit and do not let mods&admins do all the work alone, if I can't edit my own junk?^^

for dungeon runners, you also need a playNC account, which is why I don't play dungeon runners any more at all.. it's also complete crap, more than 50% of items you'll find say 'you can only wear this if you subscribe and pay cash blabla' for Mythos, as Arilaftia already said, you'll need nothing more.. just the ~350MB installer, and a valid ingame-account

Hi all, well I've spoken er, written to gogo the other day, and I'll give it a try whoever found his way to the Mythos Beta-Servers, you can list your account&charnames below, I'm sure admins&mods will be so kind and update my starting post from time to time whenever I'm not around to change the list myself ------------------ just in a few words, for those of you who might missed one of the other threads up to now: MYTHOS is still in beta alright, but there are already hundreds of players online these days and they're getting constantly more and more.. most I've seen so far, was a bit more than !700! at the same time.. quite a bunch of guys for a beta.. What is Mythos? An upcoming, hack&slash online action-RPG in the style of diablo 2, FATE, Sacred or other simliar games you might have played in the past How much will it cost? the full game is going to be free, it will not cost a single dime. However, you can change real currency into ingame currency and buy stuff Where do I get it? right now, you'll need a beta-invitation in order to download the game and create a new game+forum account How can I be invited? ask your friends who already play sacred, check for announcements of players on other boards like SIF etc.. What if I still have no invitation? from time to time, new testers are picked randomly by ping0/FSS. sign up >>here How many classes are there? at the moment, there are 3 classes to be combined with 3 races, ingame you can then choose from 3 skilling-trees What does it look like? probably, it will remember the most of you to FATE, WC3 or WoW regarding it's gfx and look, gameplay is much alike Diablo 2 What does it feel like? it's a pure h&s arpg. pure old school 3D ISO cam - fixed angle. diablo 2 alike fighting,char&item system Where can I find more screenies, videos etc.. check for fresh stuff by browsing youtube, or google for it Who is developing Mythos? Flagship Studios, the same studio also works on HGL (afaik, different team though) ping0 is also involved quite much. ------------------ Accountname-Charname Listing [d.a.r.k or SIF accname/Mythos-Accountname]: [Charnames(+class,level,etc)]: Rotluchs/bobcat: Rotluchs(level 20 gdgt) Rufus(level 14 bldl) Lynx(level 2 pyro) bobcat(gdgt) Lince (gtg poison-mister) Arilaftia/Arilaftia: Arilaftia (level 10 pyro) Rowen (level 5 Bloodletter) Dobster/...: erialc/...: tring (level 10 pyromancer) roo (level 6 Bloodletter) epox/Geekster: Xyfang (level 19 Gadgeteer retired atm) Crag_Hack (level 21 Human Bloodletter retired atm ) Nostalgic (level 14 Human Gadgeteer) Annoying_Twin (level 3 Gremlin Gadgeteer) Ike/IkeEsq: Ike (Pyro level 6) Carolyn Hacker/DaGirl: DaGirlA, DaGirlB, DaGirlC Funkilicious/Funkilicious: Jallina: (level 13 Pyro) Kallina:(level 5 Bloodletter) Zallina (level 5 Pyro) Csaszar/Csaszar: Csa (level 26 Gadgeter) Cinderblade (level 22 Pyromancer) Erling/Erling: Erling(level 3 necromancer) Erling'paks(level 12 bloodletter) stubbie/stubbie: stubbie (level 14 pyromancer) Schot/...: DarkSchot (level 13 Bloodletter)

well alright, this nice useful thread was designed for sacred.. what about other games? uh, whatever I'll take the liberty and let you know anyway: playing Mythos.. wait.. alright.. right now, 21:02:56 GTM+1 (gonna go for a few epics with one of my existing chars, either my bloodletter Rufus or Gadgeteer Rotluchs .. or, I'm gonna try out a new Pyro or a Tinkerer, should be named bobcat or Lynx then.... uh, that's too pity you can't just see the account name if not in your buddylist already.. in town and in chat, only the character names are shown) cya, Uld is waiting to be explored...
