  1. I'd say neither YAY nor NAY ..

    I like both Sacred 1 and Diablo 3 ,

    although I spent far more time with Sacred,

    had about 18 or 19 characters @ level 216 in underworld.. (not counting those I deleted)

    If a game has instant respec/reskill like Diablo 3 it needs proper end-game content for max level chars, which it has (sort of)

    that's perhaps why both systems can work.

     

    Even a mix is possible: Mythos for instance had respec, but only for low to mid level chars, and each respec got more expensive each time.

    Grim Dawn has limited respec too, you can respec single skills, but not all stats, and it gets more expensive each time too

     

    for unbended, I would have to know what the skill & combat art system is going to be like..

     

    If it is like in Sacred, there will be no real skill tree wich means you can read a few runes and try out all spells anyway, then concentrate on something you like, plus exporting you char to open/SP like Knuckles mentioned..

    personally, in Sacred I didn't miss respec cause you could even make use of broken chars as a mule, or a trader, etc..

    rerolling a new char was fun, and didnt take too long either.

     

    so, in unbended I won't miss respec either I guess, if the rest of the game is built around it in a way to compensate for that missing feature.

     

    there's pro's and con's, somehow I'm glad the devs are going to decide and not me, because I like both options :P

  2. because I got old and lazy over the years :P

    D3 also seemed too 'rubber band-ish' to me when I started it, meaning I would have hated it loosing my chars because of lag spikes or other quirky D3 behaviour.

     

    also, except for Spunky and Barristan, on the EU servers most people started with SC and then stuck with it..

     

    IF however, the majority of the US darkmatters community plays HC, heck - then I'm willing to try and do so aswell too :P

  3. Well,

    once again, in Diablo we have the same dilemma as in Sacred Classic - split ingame communities for EU & US players.

     

    I couldn't be bothered to start on US servers all over from scratch until now, but am willing to finally do so now ;)

     

    It is super boring alone however, and with the new patch, the +50 % experience buff till release of the addon,

    maybe a few other players could be bothered to start a new char aswell?

     

    anyway, so you may want to add poor old Bobcat#2602 , currently still on EU SC servers, but maybe US SC as well soon. :)

  4. Hi all,

     

    Patch 2.0.1 now live! the changelog is really huge, they changed quite a lot, and besides new loot system and paragon level system, it also includes clan support and communities ingame :

     

    http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/12671560/patch-201-now-live-25-02-2014

     

    So, I know I already asked a while ago, but now that the patch went live finally, I may ask again, cause I'm excited ;)

     

    Is there going to be a darkmatters clan or a community page ingame for Diablo 3 ? :)

     

    cheers,

     

    Bob

  5. just reinstalled PoE after months since I last tried it..

     

    is there going to be a D.a.r.k Guild then, and if not, which guild are most D.a.r.k Members playing in (if any) ?

     

    cu around, maybe even in PoE (got tired of D3 for the moment, will see if PoE turns out to be fun or not) :)

     

    €: nvm, didn't see it before.. : http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?/topic/21490-dark-path-of-exile-guild-reserved/?hl=%2Bpath+%2Bexile

  6. just dropping in to say hi,

     

    and wondering if anyone is still playing D3 here on EU SC servers these days ..

    I recently picked D3 up again, even managed to infect my gf with the hack&slash fever, now we're trying to get her a shiny hellfire ring at inferno mp5+ , and maybe I'll even hit at least paragon level 50 some day before the expansion comes out :P

     

    how're you all doing btw, I hope youre fine and all well up,

    wish u the best,

  7. thx for the link collection, Bro :)

     

     

    what I've read so far kinda crushes all hope I had left for a 'real' Sacred or at least a 'pure' A-H&S RPG

     

    R.I.P Sacred ...

     

    edit: read the one over @ gamestar.de :

     

    seems like the regressions from S>Sacred 2 will continue from Sacred 2>S3 , just even more drastical..

     

    or, they try to clone or 'beat' D3, which can't be good..

    (since D3 was a step into the wrong direction too, imho.. not a bad game, but not a really good one either)

     

    have fun with it you guys..

  8. I've read about folk having thier session drop out and when they get back on all thier items and gold have gone. I was wondering if that is down to the servers rather than hackers, not that I'm an expert on the subject.

     

    The main target, I would have thought, for hackers is the r/l cash on the auctions rather than getting items from some-ones account ?

     

     

    ..that's why it will get even more problematic on May 30, which is when I heard they were about to start the RMAH..

     

    also, maybe they're going to try and sell those stolen items.. has each item a unique ID? if so it might be hard, if not, maybe they could get away with it, if the can't backtrace who hacked & stole the stuff (if anyone did, because it's still not sure how items/chars were lost)

    ..I hope they will add new items to the CS and drastically lower costs..

  10. If you log offline when you leave the game will this protect your character?

     

    it might help. there is reports / rumours, that hackers (if there were any) might have been hijacking 'running/active' sessions by trying to take over your current connection. maybe DDos / SQL injection..

     

    just saw this, and posted it over on clan DA as well:

     

    more and more sites are talking and reporting about potential hijacking risks and issues in Diablo 3.

     

    according to the latest report that I read on german's gamestar.de site, and on computerbase.de

     

    they suspect hackers of hijacking a player's Session ID, as the method how they're doing it. It means, that they don't even need to know your battlenet-login or authenticator code..

     

    Maybe they try to hijack your current session, possibly using DDos attacks / SQL injection..

    It would explain in that case, why you lost connection to D3 servers, however you might experience general connection problems with your internet, then..

     

    If your ISP is using dynamic IP adresses for your connection, you could possible reduce the risk of being hijacked or resolve it, by resetting your router/modem once in a while (which should give you a new IP adress)

     

    Also, if you quit D3 and restart it again, this should give you a new session ID as well..

    http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/diablo...7,2568000.html

     

    NOTE:

    this is just sites reporting what's been posted on other sites, and there is afaik no official statement from blizzard, whether there have been any attacks or not..

     

    so, even though it's just 'rumours' and 'assumptions', one should be careful..

  11. We've moved them to our 'members only' section as well.

     

    which is what just made me realize again.. 'I am still not a member - yet' :Just_Cuz_21:

     

    sry to hear that,

     

    so for the time being, if you'd like to add me, just ask me first via PM here or on clan-da.. it's a bit circuitous, but better save then increasing the potential risk of getting hacked..

     

    PS:

     

    do you have a thread listing FDM players on EU SC servers?

     

    ..I could go and ask you via PM then :unsure:

  12. well, I still am playing it :)

     

    still love it, although currently I moved from Mythos Global to Mythos Russia.

     

    Mythos Russia already has the Zone 4 update, a higher level cap, and it's cash shop is much cheaper.

    It's an unlucky love however, it seems me and very few others have the servers all for us alone.. but we would like to share it :P

     

    it's a kind of dilemma/paradoxon..

     

    but I will try to sum up why Mythos is currently still the only - and one of the best- game I'm playing (kind of) frequently.

     

     

    BAD STUFF:

    • new Mythos received a lot of bad press because people were comparing it to the old version, and concentrating on the negative aspects of these changes
    • the new publisher also piffed off a lot of players, because they often announce something, then postpone it, or change it.. the support could also be better
    • there is not much publicity about Mythos, never was, since it's relaunch.. so it's not catching enough attention to attract more players. everyone talks about D3, or other games
    • Mythos is partially bugged, and some parts are still badly balanced..
    • there were only a few patch updates since it's relaunch, and the new dev/publisher doesn't communicate to/with the players very much.
    • inconvenient/circuitous browser-based launcher (game itself is installed to & runs from local HD though)
    • where are all the players?
    • cash shop prices ridiculously high (I hope they adjust it soon)

     

    GOOD STUFF:

    • even the new Mythos can still be a lot of Fun, if you give it a chance:
      doesn't take long to get used to gameplay mechanics & still adequate and fast progression of char development
      • free skill resets up to clvl 40
      • daily quests granting a 2hr 50% experience bonus for every 3rd daily quest you complete
      • with all the various experience buffs, its possible to dungeon grind for levels again, if you prefer that over quest-grinding (used to be the more common way before)

      [*]especially the end game content can be quite challenging > very tough and dangerous maps & bosses

      [*]special end game gear to go for, needs time to find&farm (not everybody has it)

      [*]it has some nice MP specific online features, that were missing in most of the other H&S ARPgs of the past:

      • dungeon master: rewarding players who clear a dungeon the fastest, with +luck buff for the time you're leading, and +cash if you're fastest at the end of each week
      • quick duel: fight against another player directly where you encounter him, if you send him a request
      • battle 'arena': special group-based PvP mode, takes place in the area called 'Ice Horn plateau'.. unlocks special boss fight & chance for extra item reward
      • crystal defense: in each wave, protect the base in your group, against incoming hordes of monsters > grants several buffs for players as a reward
      • guild system: grants global buffs for each guild based on certain rules (guild level, member count, time of guild creation, online times accumulated as a guild..)
      • friend&mail system: see who's online right now and where, what level/class.. send mail to buddies, attach items to mail or link in chat..

      [*]Mythos is free to play, so go ahead, try it out and forge your own, unaffected opinion

     

     

    in end, Mythos is still the second-best H&S ARPG for me,

    after Sacred1 ofc, and followed by Sacred 2 and (presumably) D3..

     

    enjoyed Sacred1 closed HC MP, and had good times over there,

    next best thing to it - in retrospective - is Mythos..

     

    (based after trying out games like Torchlight, Titan Quest, Path of Exile beta, D3 beta, etc etc..)

  13. just wanted to let you know,

     

    Mythos Global OBT is about to start in less than 2 hours ; )

    go to their forum and tell them to add a direct link for the full client and some mirrors as well, if you dont like that pando thing)

    Cya around,

  14. Still... I would like to play it again...

     

    ofc it would be even better to put up Sacred UW HC Closed MP servers again :)

     

    that's exactly what I thought..

     

    I'm also playing PoE recently every now and then but it's just not... well.. donno.

    It's cool to see that PoE has such a great developer who talks a lot to the comm, and that the comm can be such a great part of game development, so to speak.

    their way of running things reminds me a lot about how flagship studios was doing their original mythos beta.

    but anyway, even this just isn't making PoE a better game, at least for me it isnt.. although it's very promising, and I'm curious what it will become and definitely gonna stick around.

     

    If I had the choice :

     

    I would prefer a 2nd addon to Sacred UW closed HC. not gonna happen.

    so, at least standard Sacred UW closed HC would be nice, also never gonna happen.

    original Mythos also won't happen,

     

    so what's left for me right now is, PoE and the altered Mythos Global/EU version.

     

    I would prefer Mythos.

  15. unfortunately,

     

    people from Europe are not allowed to play on Mythos Global servers currently.

     

    T3Fun announced a list of countries that are automatically IP blocked:

     

    http://mythosforum.t3fun.com/index.php?topic=35.0

     

    a good deal if not most of all players are quite unhappy and pi**ed about this, but there's a chance that we might get direct access sooner or later:

     

    The Officials started a poll, and want to know who is interested in allowing European players to play online...

     

    please feel free to comment, and as well vote in the poll at the start of this thread over here on the official forum:

    greetings,

     

    Bob (lets hope they open gates for Europeans soon)

     

     

    PS: does anyone know any (save) methods of changing/cloaking one's IP?

     

    I know it's possible to do so, but not sure about the risks of loosing privacy and how bad the extra-lag from increased ping would be.

  16. It hurt's to see what happened to this game in the past.

     

    the once so promising D2 'successor' failed it's first attempt to go live or finish beta,

    back in 2007 and 2008, when Flagship Studios went bankrupt and had to close doors, after the Hellgate-Fiasco .

     

     

    So, the developers and creators of the Games Diablo and Fate, lost their newest baby they which was about to hatch at that time, back then..

     

    The Koran publisher/dev HanbitON/T3Entertainment bought all the Mythos rights and IP..

     

    ..and promised an US/global to be launched 'soon' .. that was back in about 2009, and it never happened.

     

    Instead, they released it on the Korean market only, before Frogster signed contracts and published Mythos EU in spring 2011..

     

    the first relaunch of Mythos on the western market was a big desaster,

    I believe both for old fans, new players and the involved companies..

     

    Hanbit changed almost every aspect of the game,

    and tried to force Mythos to become a cheap standard 0815 asia grinder MMO with nice H&S ARPG gameplay elements,

    rather than sticking to the originial idea of a pure awesome H&S ARPG online game, with some very useful mmo features.

     

    They kept the game's name, it's graphic's style/engine,

    and at least the essential combat/item system..

    but they altered the entire rules too much, implemented too many new bugs,

    fixed too less old bugs and implemented not enough new useful stuff right in time.

     

    Mythos Europe failed entirely, and had to close it's server - doors just a few months after it's revival over here.

    the service was shut down end of october, 27/28th 2011...

     

    and suddenly, out of nowhere,

    T3Fun announced the relaunch of the game just once more, after it had died, before it really started to live.. :

     

     

    they call it 'MYTHOS GLOBAL' this time,

     

    and according to their info, a short CBT will start on Dec 1st and end on Dec 5th 2011.

    I'm gonna check it out for sure. Don't know why, but I will..

    is it gonna be a 3D shooter this time? will they rename it to Duke Mythem?

     

    will they cripple it even more than it already is? or trying to deliver a changed product, suitable for the western market?
