Knuckles 904 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 I assumed you died....but seeing as I had no intention of finding out...I ran through mobs to get to exit....just in case

Ryanrocker 201 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Another tip I'd like to add to this thread is adding your spacebar as the secondary potion hotkey or even main hotkey. The spacebar has a much larger surface area than the default 'Q' key, and is much easier to hit when your frantically trying to smash your keyboard for the health button in hardcore. I highly recommend this to you who haven't done this yet, as it might just save your life
lujate 578 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 And the Space Bar might be more familiar to us Sacred players. The default setting of it closing all open windows seems silly to me.
stubbie 22 Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 And the Space Bar might be more familiar to us Sacred players. The default setting of it closing all open windows seems silly to me. I have made the space bar my regen health hotkey ever since I played Sacred HC online, so many years ago. It is the key you are bound to hit when you frantically smash the keyboard.

Couldn't agree more, it was one of the first changes I made

Omnicide 27 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Added everyone's tips so far and added a few more. #16 can be another life saver. Someone should sticky this thread, or at least Knuckles' survival guide. I think it'll be handy for all the new and old forum members here who haven't had a chance to play the game yet, like myself. I wasn't sure if I was gonna buy this game when I heard it would be online only, but you guys have got me pretty worked up since I've been following the Diablo 3 Hardcore thread. My main problem currently is debt among other things. If all goes good, I'll hopefully be buying a copy for both myself and my girlfriend come this summer (July/August). It seems like most of the games I've been playing lately just don't compare to the Diablo 2 (and Diablo 3, from what I've been reading) level of heart-thumping gameplay, especially in Hardcore. Which leads me to eventual boredom. The games are still fun, but at times they feel a little too easy, and not really scary for that matter. Anyway, I really liked the information you've gathered and presented, Knuckles. It's helpful but not overly revealing spoiler-wise. And I wholeheartedly agree with the spacebar for health potions. Ever since I've been playing Torchlight I've been using the spacebar for any sword & sorcery type of games, including both Sacred games, and currently Titan Quest Immortal Throne.
Arperum 5 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Another tip, don't leave the game if your last checkpoint was in a cave. Once you start again, monsters will have respawned, and if you lagg a bit when getting out of the cave, you die horribly. and lagg is kind of expected since it has to load a completely new area.
Knuckles 904 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Good tip (and sorry you found out the hard way ) Added to list
