Hey Dobs, why don't you put points into PR instead for casters? 'Cause PR gives health regen as well as health (same amount of health per stat point as strength).
Hey mate, I was under the impression that strength gave more HP than phys regen, not sure where I got that from though
If they give the same boost to HP then yes PR would be a much better choice, thnx mate

I was talking with Knuckles tonight about this intersting find he made. I never did see a huge benefit of investing all Att points on MR in a magic toon as it never really seemed to do very much but without his research I couldn't be sure:). The figure shown in the toons stats is not a true reflection as it shows all the bonuses from items that have no effect on spell damage. I now put all attribute points into strength when playing pure magic toons
It may sound crazy but pure magic toons will get the most damage boost form magic lore and all there regen from MED and there specific regen magic. At higher level's the damage/regen boost from points investsed into MR would be very small. Most pure magic toons are very weak and would be better off with more hit points, this is why I started to invest all att points into strength as it gives a good HP boost when used with constitution. I've not tested it past gold but wondered what you guys thought of this? Could strength be the BM's new best friend

Eh, the DA thread says it doesn't stretch with Nvidia cards... But somehow I'm not that sure about that? I'll go test tomorrow... lol
I think it does stretch Tim but with nvidia there is a way of stopping it afaik

Hi all
I posted this over at the DA forum but thought I'd share it here to.
If your an ATI user who has found that since you bought a shiny new widescreen monitor your toons all look short and fat, then a fix is now available by downloading the latest drivers.
Check this thread over at DA widescreen fix
After playing sacred for ages being streched, it's really cool to see it as it should be seen
Stubbie should be pleased

I'm sure you will be a great member of Dark just as you have been of DA mate :cha (18):
I've only played in sacred and GW a few times with you but you are one of those people that it's always a pleasure to bump into.
Look after him, he is definatley one of the good guys :cha (18):

I only have 1 invite left now, given out 4 in the last few days.
Look out for some more DA'ers, how knows you may even bump into the big cheeses

Prefer the right side schot. I agree with you mate, never liked his slick back style either. Somehow it never looked right on the Glad. Great work on the pics by the way

Thats the thing I really miss from closed:(
I did ask the question why on the SIF before as to why the main quest was removed and I think someone said it was to do with there being exploits that could be used in closed as part of the main quest. Nobody could remember exactly what they were though. It's a shame that they could not be fixed and the quest brought back with a later patch but now it seems it will never happen.

My question is still this: Can anything drop from Orc Chieftain? Skeleton Mage? Mounted Shaddar Rim?
Ages ago someone said that, for instance, Meg-Anid's Blizzard items dropped more on snow-covered ground than elsewhere. Is this true for Greedy Dwarves? Or is this "it happened to me so it must be true!" (too small a sample size) location variation?
I've always wondered the same frosty. Even though the drops are the best in those areas, it did seem to be the same group of drops over and over with the occasional different one thrown in.
Suddenly changing area would seem to yeild different drops or...... could this just be my imagination
err sorry for the double post. I tried to edit the first post but for some reason it just posted the same message again

I tested plus last night and got it working:)
I'd definatley be interested in starting a new toon in plus

Hehe, nice drops there Schot
The one thing I noticed about the greedy dwarf is that in some place he gets amazing drops and in others he gets almost nothing. VOT was great for levelling but the drops never seemed good.
I have an early niob greedy dwarf with max greed and realativley high MF. After lots of testing and exlploring to find the best areas, he still seemed to get the best/most drops in the same 3 places. These were the dry river run to the east of Khorad with the skelly-mage mobs, the shaddars and DE mobs in Zhurag and to a lesser extent the mobs in purgatory. Out of the 3 though, it would have to be the dry river run for the best drops closley followed by Zhurag.
Anyone else find some others that give lots of drops?

Oops! Could a mod please change the title
"The history of Scared" doesn't sound right lol

Most of the older Sacred players will know this but its still interesting to the newer sacred players.
Check out this link for the history of the game we all love

I did use low level trader dwarfs for a while but found it took way to long and took the fun away from building new toons. It made nearly all of the drops from the first 30-40 level's pretty much useless. It's much more fun to do it the old fashioned way

I remember playing the demo over and over. Must have been back in about march 04, so long ago now.
As gogo said, it is a great demo. Good enough that I rushed to the shops and bought Sacred on release day
-
I was just talking about Mythos with Voided and Masteff last night and sent them an invite to try it out.
I have a few invites left if anyone wants to try it out, send me a PM with your email and I'll give you an invite.
Must admit to not playing it for a while as it had bad lag issues the last time I tried.

Demo/game is terrible just plain terrible.
Crappy animation, gfx and sound wont buy it.
It does feel a bit old-school in the graphics and physics department but I have to disagree about it being terrible. I would take pure gameplay over fancy graphics anyday, Sacred still rocks with very dated graphics.
It won't be to everyones taste but it's definately worth a try to see if it floats your boat.
The specs are not that high gogo but it does seem to have memory issues, even with 2 gigs of corsiar ram it gave up and CTD'd once until I turned a setting down.
If your a fan of FPS, love collecting rare items and like taking on big bosses then this is worth a try
-
I've been playing the Beta for a while now gogo and yes, it is very good:)
I can't say much about it but think of it as a cross between Diablo and Doom and your somewhere close. I did see someone in the chat window call it " Diablo on steriods"
-
Last night was great fun, after a month of no Sacred it was a great way to come back
Thanks to everyone for a great party, maybe see you again next weekend:)

Hey gogo and Claire
Thnx for the welcome. It's great to see you back on the servers. It's good to meet Schot for the first time to
I hope the bug gets you bad gogo and you come back for good, schot seemed to be loving it
@Claire, I have 3 bits of bronze ammaris and a kite shield you can have which will help lots to get past the hard early bits for the BM.
P.S. Dark Sun is a great and very friendly player as you found Claire.

Sorry to hear about your mage Claire
I have some decent starter stuff for your new mage if you need, next time you see me in game gimme a shout and its yours:)
Regen Gone Mental
in Sacred General Discussion

Thnx for clearing that up:)
So what do people think about this?
For a spellcaster s it better to have some extra spell damage and regen OR have more HP and health regeneration?
I've played quite a few pure spellcasters of differnet types to niob and found that there spells do more than enough damage that the points I invested into MR could have been put into PR. If I get the time I'll try a PR battlemage and see how he gets on:)
