Hey everyone! I haven't been here in a long time, but decided to drop by to let you know that now's the best time to get Sacred 2 Gold on the cheap or on steam if that's all you care about. It's also a great opportunity to gift it to friends to have more people to play with. It is currently in a humble bundle over here: https://www.humblebundle.com/ enjoy

Thanks for the addition and sorry for the late reply. It's not a pure mmo per se, it falls in the same subcategory of mmo as games like world of tanks, and from what I read so far there won't be a monthly fee, just a low-ish purchase price and additional vanity/convenience cash shop stuff. There are currently events being held multiple days a week during which various devs and other staff from Muse Games(the dev company) play the game with the players and answer questions and hand out keys to whoever needs more for friends. Those events can be a lot of fun as some of the devs offer a nice challenge and most of them are willing to use the ingame voice chat to communicate, often resulting in memorable matches.

I've played a bunch of the original Guns of Icarus with my friends in the past, but for a couple days now, I've been playing its multiplayer sequel, Guns of Icarus Online and thought that it would be nice to get the game a bit more publicity as it is a mostly unknown, but great game. Don't hesitate to give this awesome title a try. Home Page: http://www.gunsoficarus.com/ So, What is Guns of Icarus Online? Quoted from the devs: You basically play matches in which two teams of multiple airships fight for objectives which differ based on the match mode. Matches get pretty intense as your small group of 4 players frantically tries to outmaneuver and destroy enemy crafts while doing everything they can to keep theirs flying. You might be firing a flak turret one moment, trying to put out a fire the next, while running all over trying to repair the failing engines your captain is pushing beyond their limits to keep you out of enemy weapons' range. You can go to this thread to request beta keys, I got some for my roommates within minutes. http://www.gunsofica...equests#Item_62 If you end up liking the game or cant wait for a free key, you can pre-order the game on steam at a 25% discounted 15$ and start playing now. http://store.steampo...com/app/209080/ Edit: stupid typos

I guess nobody knows then. We'll run some tests and add the results to the wiki.

If you're looking at the 500 series you'd probably be better off grabbing a GTX 550 Ti. It's the card I switched to when my old one burnt out and it's pretty powerful considering the price tag. It doesn't seem to have any issues running Sacred 2, just remember to turn off antialiasing and physx as even with my old card the game tended to crash randomly with those options on.

My friend wants to make a dryad that relies heavily on burn and poison damage for dps. I looked through the wiki and nothing was mentioning how much damage elemental secondary effects do and what the damage is based on aside from Damage Lore boosting it once mastered. Does anyone have extra info on this?

Thanks for the info and that link. Now to try to find all of those sigils.

While playing I found an item called "Em" with nothing but "KithEmAl" as a description. It has a lv10 requirement and has 34 combined physical and magical armor. I'm posting here because I'm guessing this was added by the CM Patch. Is this some sort of easter egg? I haven't found any other items like it yet. Are there other and if there are can you do interesting stuff with them?

I've recently come back to Sacred2 and have had a bunch of fun with my roommates over LAN. If you're looking for someone to start a campaign with, let me know.

Update: I haven't found anymore daggers with a chance to disregard armor at 8%, which leads me to believe that dagger just had an extra bonus that got merged with the sword weapon mod. All the 3.5% daggers now show 3.9 at lv13 sword weapons. At at character lv25 and lv6 sword weapons the chance to disregard armor remains 3.5%, but if I equip a single +1 all skills ring to make it lv7, it suddenly jumps from 3.5% to 3.7%. It seems to remain unchanged at 3.7% up to lv12 swords weapons, adding another point to make it lv13 makes it jump up another 0.2% for a total of 3.9%. I cant be sure if the effect of the skill loses effectiveness as the character's level rises yet, I'll have to test it some more. My current hypothesis is that the value for the chance to disregard armor mod on the daggers is following this equation 3.5+(X-1)/30 where X is the level of the sword weapons skill while only going up in steps of 0.2 (lv7, lv13, lv19, lv25...) If this equation is right and mastery of the skill doesn't modify it, sword weapons at lv200 would make daggers each have a 10% chance to disregard armor for a whopping 20% when dual-wielding, not bad. Edit: Scratch that equation, at lv16 sword weapons it went up by 0.1 for a total of 4.0%

For a while I've been wondering about the unlockable modifiers on armors and weapons, and how their value works. I come here hoping someone can shed some light on them. Lets take daggers' chance to disregard armor for example. At low levels all my daggers have a 3.5% chance to disregard armor. 1. Is that a set value for that weapon type(both a lv1 and a lv200 dagger will have 3.5%)? 2. Will I find higher values on the items dropped or in shops as I level up? 3. Is it affected by the skill used to unlock the modifier, in this case sword weapons, and if so is it just a very small amount or does it work in steps at certain skill levels? I've tried equipping a few sword weapons+ pieces and the value remained at 3.5%. 4. Do they stack? If I dual Wield 2 daggers with 3.5% each, do I get 7% chance to disregard armor? 5. Do different unlockable modifiers have their value work differently? So many questions . The wiki doesn't always cover them all, although I'll be adding anything new I figure out or learn to it so others don't have to look too far. Edit: Using a bunch of +all skills I've upped Sword Weapons and found a dagger with a value of 8% chance to disregard armor in the store, later on the same dagger showed me 7.9%. I might be wrong, but I'm guessing the mod gets a base value based on item level and/or quality and is modified by the related skill based on its level compared to your character's level. If anyone knows for sure let me know.

Will start my first HC toon on the UK gold version I just bought. I'll be found in silver for the next few hours.

Ah, I thought that thread was only for HC characters.

So I finally, after some issues with ordering and installing the game, made the jump from my US Sacred 2 to a EU Ice & Blood version. I've also installed the community patch, and will probably be messing around with it in open net for the next few hours. I'll see you guys online. Is there a specific board or thread in which people post when they'll be online? I've seen one for closed HC, but what about other ones?

Just another quick question. Do more people play with the CM patch in open, or is the majority still on closed?
