I am very impressed with the way your daughter handled herself during the accident, and afterwards.
You should be very proud of her!

Re: knives... if they bend... yikes! Careful! Good luck with the knives!
Hmmm.
Garage Sales for the Win!
We sold a knife block full of knives (sharp ones too) for $1 CDN (about 0.80 cents US) at our garage sale. {Made me cringe considering how much they cost to buy}...
So, my advice to everyone out there is: Garage sales and thrift shops... you never know when you'll find something of amazingly high quality for very little.
My Mom got a mink coat (I kid you not!) for $10. $10 tiny dollars! Mink! (Ok, so it was the 70s... and $10 was about worth $100 is today {judging by how many groceries you can buy with it today}).
I bought 3 ultra-high end golf clubs at a thrift shop for a friend... they wanted $9.99 each (new would cost $450 each IIRC).
Buys like these don't last long in the shops... but think about it: When people divorce, or move, or give up a hobby, ... or... shudder... die... someone who has no connection the items wants to dump them... and a charity shop is a good idea...

I was shopping hard the last couple of days with my level 22 HE (level 37 Bargaining when she started, in Silver, HC, Ice and Blood).
The gradual upgrades have brought her to level 48 or so in Bargaining.
In her quest to find the famous life leech shurikens (and stars) she started seeing lightsabres! She now has 5 lightsabres: a purple, a light blue, a green, and 2 reds.
I've been so fixated on the stars that I haven't properly examined the lightsabres. I just knew I wanted them all! Every chance I have to buy a light sabre... I buy one!
She also has been buying the life leech % shurikens and stars she finds (which almost always seem to crop up with a bunch of LL% polearms) which range for 0.9%, 1.0% and 1.1% LL.
suki helped get my char into Gold... and so now I'm hoping the frequency of lightsabres and shuriken/stars is higher... higher damage or better mods.
Re: pumping your bargaining skill: relics in Silver in Ice and Blood give +2, so +6 there. 3 socked sword (one is elemental ) and 2 shield give a chance for +4 all skills, and armour and rings and pendants allow you to pump the Bargaining skill. yellow "to all skills +X", blue "to all skills +X", blue "General Skills +X", blue "Bargaining +X" are all mods your looking for. The blue "to all skills +1" was a surprise.

Late to the party: But... Perhaps it was a Microsoft O/S patch? If it happens again (and soon) then try rolling back the patches. {I myself haven't got a patch from MS in a while... but people's mileages vary for patches}.
Glad to hear things are on the mend.
Cheers!

As a cyclist I too am angry. Thoughtless people can cause injury for others (by opening their doors without checking).
I wish your daughter a speedy recovery.
For the driver, defensive (abusive) language often follows when the defensive person did something wrong. No surprise there.
Over here, leaving the scene of an accident is a crime too. Probably a lot of charges could be laid that parallel the charges laid in Germany.
As a cyclist, I want that driver punished. I want them to learn to be more careful in future.
Best wishes for you and your family.
A bit of trivia: in China, this would be called a bicycle accident. If a car and a tree had a collision it would be a tree accident. This keeps the car accident rate low(er) in China.

Everyone knew the same thing, everyone shared the same thing... with exponential muti channel processing and forced uber consumption... everyone has so many inputs coming in and is processing/consuming so much resources at once... I'm not even sure if it's even possible for something like "Star Wars" to even happen again.
... how strange
gogo
Very profound gogo. Probably true of a lot of aspects in our life. Scares me to think of Sacred3 inflicted by this reality
Re:Cameron failed. He didn't live up to your expectation. Same thing happened for me with George Lucas. Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope was so awesome it made me think the other parts of the story would be too. Incorrect BINGO!
Re:Shared consumption on a mass scale: Titanic sinking (the real thing), Gone with the Wind, Kennedy Assassination, The Moon Landing (not a movie), Jaws, John Lennon murder, Reagan shooting, Titanic (the movie), 9/11, and now Avatar. All had deep emotional significance. We still have emotions. Things will still get us. Heck, we're still talking today about the sacking of Troy! Some things will never leave the shared consciousness of mankind.

I'm surprised I missed this thread the first time around!
I was a bit adventurist in China. I thought the duck's tendons were actually a vegetable. I thought the pork balls were chicken balls. The pork balls were shattered pork breaded, not boneless chicken breaded. Cut my gums on those...
The fried scorpions were weird... on a bed of tasteless rice puffs (that apparently had a hint of shrimp taste).
So, too, was the fried grasshopper (really gross, the body was full of green guck!)... it was red like a lobster.
I had alligator at Gatorland in Florida. Bland.
The grossest: actually something western: Egg salad sandwich. Rotten texture. Seemed (but wasn't) rotten. Yuck!

Quests usually do it for me. Those people need help! (Even bunny jumpers need help some time!)
-
lol! This makes me laugh!
I wrote that page today!
Thanks Nick. You made me smile after a number of hours of gaming and logging and wiki writing.
(Not meant to undermine anyone's contribution to the wiki or anything like that!, or this site either! I was home sick today, so I decided to tackle the Ancestors' Chambers quest chain that Dobs put me onto a few months ago. I got a round-tuit!) -
My place of terror is anywhere were the Mist of Miasma is. I think the permanent thunderstorm overloads my graphics card.

I just faced the under the Island dragon that goes invisible. My SW had no trouble taking him down with Skeletal Fortification and Spectral Hand. Perhaps he is invisible to melee?
This was fixed in Ice and Blood, you can target them when their Shadow Veil is active now.
So SW are PvP Gods in original S2FA? IE cannot be targeted if veiled?
-
Thanks so much chattius. I'm sure this will helps lots of people!

Why not use both terms. That way when someone searches for it, they'll find it no matter which name you use... the official one or the one people think of.

@belgarathmth: Congrats!
@ryan: thanks for the awesome video man! I had to shout out "Awesome!" when I saw it... then I scroll down to learn I was channeling gogo!
Oh gawds.. Not Lightsabers Anonymous...I can just see a meeting...
Moderator: "Welcome to the Thylsyium branch of Lightsabers Anonymous! Anyone want to share?"
Inquisitor stands up: "Hi.. My name is Bob.. I'm a lightsaber addict."
Crowd: "Hi Bob.."
Bob: I got my first lightsaber in a trade with a merchant in the deserts of Western Bangaresh from this wise old trader named Obitwo something or other... Since then I've been obsessed with getting more and more powerful ones. My personal chest is stuffed full of them I got rid of every other thing of value. My Shared Storage is also clogged with nothing but Lightsabers. I just can't stop collecting them. Every gold piece I've collected has gone into buying them. My armor is the cheapest gray level armor money can buy. I couldn't get enough of them - I even got the dual wield skill so I could have two of them at all times. At first, it was great! I was mowing down enemies left and right. But after a while I got into deep trouble. I invested all my skill points in DW and I find myself getting killed off by level 20 kobolds. Now, I'm stuck in the Orc territories trying to get my act together. It's been rough."
Moderator: "Thanks for sharing Bob..."
Excellent wolfie2kX! lol!

I searched for 'The Ancestors' Chambers' quest (which starts with The Missing Girl) and came up empty.
I'm pretty sure I was able to search for it successfully in the past.
I used :
Ancestors
Chambers
Missing
as my search criteria, and failed to find a quest page for it.
It is a quest chain, so I figured it should be in this list.
It's a tricky quest that Dobster started to show me, and I'd very much like to do, and record for the wiki.

I'm playing Sacred 2 using an XP machine... doing online HC. I went to this same area of the game today and had a problem there. The Tharconians just stood there. They didn't move. I suspected lag... but even though I uncloaked a couple of times my life meter did not flicker, nor did the Tharconians move.
Something seems to be up in that region, though my symptoms were different from his.
I exited the game (after selecting the soul stone so I could get back there easily), and restarted and the Tharconians returned to normal (vicious) responsiveness.
Sacred 2 has some glitches.

The T-Energy = pollution idea leads us to need to get rid of the pollution. Since S1 occurs after Sacred 2... we know everything is OK once the harmful T-Energy is removed. Even the elves stop being snotty! (Well, at least the above ground ones!)
...and... T-Energy is bad for Dwarves... we can't see any in our travels in Sacred 2. And who wouldn't want to have a friendly Dwarf around?
-
I would like to have 2 copies of the 'full game'...complete with discs and extras. Extra copy is the backup.
As others have said, download is a friend (past your first copy).

I have been reading that there is a dragon in my near future who also has the "invulnerable-invisibility-cannot-be-targeted" bug. Can anyone confirm this? I would sure hate to have to fight a dragon with nothing but Reflective Emanation and healing potions! That would take forever, and I might run out of potions, plus, it would become exponentially more difficult on every level after Silver!
I just faced the under the Island dragon that goes invisible. My SW had no trouble taking him down with Skeletal Fortification and Spectral Hand. Perhaps he is invisible to melee?
Each character has 3 aspects and I think it is a stretch to assume one aspect would be sufficient for every challenge the game offers.

Another very exciting video Ryan.
Well done!
-
I liked the top video.
...and I didn't have any distracting grey bars. Neither horizontal nor vertical.
Go Ryan!

Buh-bye! *waves*
See ya later!

5. Run the Camp Runner to Monolith and advance the campaign by at least 1 step. This will temporarily give the Campee a more advanced campaign than the template
7. Start a new Server with the Template again.
in 5: Camp Runner is the high level toon with an almost completed (or can be totally completed) campaign?
in 7: the Template is the starting Silver character? (not the already have it finished character)?
I'm really really confused.
--We tried to do this today and failed. I think we missed a step.--
