Popular Post gogoblender 3,070 Posted March 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 Morning folks! Our host was moving all the dbases (darkmatters, wiki, downloads) over to their new and improved servers over the last few days, and our turn was last night. Look like there was a few hiccups in the system, and while the Wiki woke up hale this morning, alas, it's two siblings didn't. After some messagery this morning, looks like everything is back online, and we apologize for any of the downtime, especially if it got in the way of your posting or work. If there's any issues you notice, please pm us and we can document and send it out. thanks for being here, and.... here we GO! gogo 3 Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Something doesn't look quite right with the Sacred 2 Map. The dynamically resizing icons are gone, and I'm getting broken image placeholders all around the map. It might just be something on my end, but I thought it might be related to the new servers. 1 Link to comment
Hooyaah 2,823 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 It seems OK to me; it may have been that the servers had need of time to fully update/republish the map. I seem to recall that the map could be downloaded before. I have a copy of the old map that shows some Bosses in former/incorrect locations and a few other differences that were changed along the way. I would like to have a copy of the map, especially the dungeon map, as I can never figure out why I never snag the achievement for visiting them all. Having the map, I could make note of each as I visit. This worked well for me in the the completion of the Epic Office Quest in the past. 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Knuckles 904 Posted March 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2016 The trick to the dungeon achievement is you have to do it all in the same session....but here's the good part...you can exit/enter the same dungeon/cave 100 times in a row and you'll get achievement 2 Link to comment

lujate 578 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I seem to have slept through this...haven't noticed any issues so far! The site was down when I was having breakfast, NA time. A hour or so later it was back and has been humming along since. 1 Link to comment

I seem to recall that the map could be downloaded before. Whenever I scroll around the map, anything beyond the borders shows a strange grid. Also the icons for bosses and portals used to be visible no matter the zoom level. They would resize dynamically as you zoomed in and out, it was like they were overlaid on top of the base map. Now you must zoom in all the way to spot them. It seems OK to me; it may have been that the servers had need of time to fully update/republish the map.

As far as I know the Sacred 2 Map in the downloads section is the most recent correct map. Likewise I picked up the dungeon map from the link on the wiki page. Though as Knuckles said the achievement only activates if 100 dungeons are entered in 1 game session. I've done it myself. 2 Link to comment
Delta! 987 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I know it is a bit off topic, but I have been meaning to ask this for ages... what does the achievements and the points you earn actually do for you ass a player? can you spend it somewhere? does it unlock certain bonuses? I am trying to get the dungeon master now, and that offers 30 points. but what will I benefit from all those points? Delta! 1 Link to comment

I now notice the differences to which you are referring Flix and although only the mysterious grid that appears is something that I find annoying, it's likely because the old code used in the old map doesn't work with the formatting of the new server. By the way, I made dungeon master for the first time yesterday, via the instructions of The Grand Poobah, Knuckles. Thanks! 1 Link to comment

Not sure on the consoles, but I never found they were used for anything on the pc....I would guess they're only there for progress monitoring/bragging rights 1 Link to comment

On ps3, they show up in your Playstation Network profile. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks everyone for all the feedback! Schot's been looking through options for the changes showing up, looks like some of the settings from the new server could be dif from what we needed before...soon as we're done all eating this Easter Chocolate, he'll be looking at fixes.. gogo Link to comment
