DarkWolfNine... I'm really sorry Im late getting to this, but I'm happy were here now, with your shiny new badge affixed... looking goldy! Thanks for the support and the awesome community you bring to our family. Clan DA is actually older than us and I'd love to get online and play hours with its members. Happy you've settled into your awesome new digs here and once again thank you for supporting the sites!

Thanks gogo! Looking good! - I appreciate it. (I've gone through some of my old Fraps recordings and I had a very short clip with knuckles (on voice too) funny but in Sacred 2 . I might re-encode it for laughs.
And I'm glad you had a fun and safe trip.

DarkWolf...this is absolutely brilliant!. IN fact, I believe your work is so strong it could stand alone on its own merits a a video compilation...what do you think? This way the original thread would still be here and yours could act as your own video guide listing.
ITs great work and more importantly is quite thrilling for new players to see the monsters they are up against!
If you'd like I can split off your first post and you can add to it or add more sections as you wish.
As well, does the Wiki have videos of these battles upon its pages? if you're interested I can give you access and you add your content there as well

Thank you gogo! I'm so glad I can contribute to help other community members. - I can move this into a new post (or if you want to split it into a new one, that'd be great, as I don't think I can delete my existing comment above).
I won't be back on a computer until this evening (or tomorrow for sure), but I'm more than happy to help put it on the wiki with you (to get the best structure).
Thank you for the compliments and feedback, I greatly appreciate it!!

I made videos of my battles with all (in vanilla Sacred 2) the mini-bosses. At the end, there is also a zip file of images for all of these bosses (pictures, stats, locations)
(I have re-uploaded the 800x600 videos that I made back in '08 of all of these mini-bosses. Enjoy!) - I was able to re-encode 8 of the 13 with the best quality I could (based on the original Fraps settings I had back then.).
Spoiler Warning: I should mention that at the end of each video it shows the stats of the mini-boss as well as the map of where the mini-boss is located. (except no map for The White Griffon. I decided to do this after I fought him). So if you don't want to see those, just stop the video right after I kill him.

EDIT: Those that are looking for these guys, you can find most of them on the French map, or I've also included a map location for each in this ZIP. (There are also other pics in there, like the Stats for the slain mini-boss, etc. If you're bored. )

I agree with many of this.
Even though I have yet to try out the Sacred 2 modifications (Although I did finish getting dimitrius154's (among other devs) CM 0.160, the trimmed enhanced textures, and Flix' EE with regular skills)
I have always had the mind set that these people (Dax too!) have put in a lot of time and effort and are giving something back to the community. I respect that. I tend to commend them for thier efforts when I try them out and use them. If there is a bug (if I know the game well) I will mention it to the devs, or even offer constructive criticism with suggestions to alternate ideas.That said, I know I am in the minority. Anyone who spends time giving back to their community deserves a thousand "thank you's". I know how much work and effort goes into making mods (At least for doing a couple total conversion mods back for Unreal Tournament and UT 2003).
It ultimately comes down to how the devs react to fan feedback.
I know this is an abbreviated list but you have people that tend to:
enjoy the mod/work, but are silent (majority)
enjoy it, but offer constructive notes, or praise for the devs (a minority in the sense of being positive vocally)
generally enjoy it, but there are this one or two items that HAVE TO BE CHANGED, and are very vocal about it. (often turning completely negative when they don't get their way)
hate it or don't care for it, but are silent (usually just removing/not using it)
hate it, and are very vocal about it and are nothing but toxic to the community (at least with respect to the mod/project). (this is, unfortunately, the majority of what gets to the devs, forum posts, word out)
I've either experienced them (in my personal outlook) or in feedback while I was on the two teams during those total conversion mods back in the day.
It does come down to the dev community members (of said mod/project) and how they are able to handle/ignore/respect criticism or compliments. You'll never please 100%. But we know this.
I know I'm probably "preaching to the choir" but I just wanted to give my personal thanks for everyone that has put in tireless effort in making these games better (or worse. heh.).
Thank you guys,
- DarkWolfNine
P.S. And thank you Flix for compiling that into a single document/location. I am finding that very useful.-

Sometimes, the internet is a tiny place. I hope you stay with us for a while DarkWolfNine, we shall meet again.
Cheers!
Thank you Dax! That means a lot!
- A lot of fond memories. I agree. - Yes, life is a bit busier than they were back then, but I do plan to stay a while. Worst case if I have to take a short break for some unknown reason, I will make sure I am able to be contacted and will always stay in touch. I'm not planning to become a ghost of the past, like I once had.
I plan to stay a part of this community (as long as everyone will have me.
- But I'm not worried about that. Everyone in our Sacred community is amazing! - I'm glad to see that it hasn't disappeared or become toxic)
Proud to be here and be back!

The Garema Ghost Warriors... ! lol I remember the first time encountering them when playing HC... almost invisible and impossible to hit as our toon started to flash while taking damage and quickly redlining then screaming and rushing to make the mouse get the toon out of their way and into safely...
nasty!!
gogo
Seriously! That was so terrifying to get to them your first HC run and see your health start to dwindle and wonder why? Poison, what? Then see those faint things and desperately try to get your toon to safety.
Seeing that huge flash of red that your health bar makes right before your about to make your grave and you see all of your toons experiences flash before your eyes.
So scary.
Then when your out of there and you catch your breath, realize your safe (for now), you grin with the adrenaline not yet dissipated, what a rush!
HC changed my outlook on how incredible games can be.

Such a great classic movie! - I haven't read the book either. I might have to check it out one day (when I get back into my reading phase! But I'm not letting it derail my Sacred phase!!!!!!!!!! Tho I can multitask! hahahaha)
