Any Sacred 2 players?

[DanishDevil]

After doing all of the Microsoft updates, and changing the grass and PhysX settings, it seems to be okay, but I only played for a little bit.

I just hit level 20, and I've got about 11hrs of gameplay on it so far.

 

[DanishDevil]

I played a tad more, and beat that gigantic rock guy by myself (it took forEVER at level 20...I had to stand in front of him using a t-energy move that had a slight life steal and pop potions like M&Ms for about 10 minutes to finally kill him) and got a few nice set items.

I'm more than a little color-uncoordinated, but I love my new helm, and the particular set items that I have right now are from the T-Energy set, particularly my right arm and legs

Seems like you may have found the problem (one of the updates). Sacred 2 can be quite finicky and wants everything to be just perfect. I too was seeing strange stuff in saves until I got the crashes fixed. It was a crap shoot as to whether you would still have newly found items in your inventory on re-start, even though I was saving the game after every fight.

Just remember gents that while you are working out the crach issues, the F9 (Save Game)key is your best friend.

Colorful toon you got there DD !! (The helm is cool)

Damn nice toon man. I just made a Temple Guardian in Open, except I keep on crashing

I did all the fixes mentioned above and I am still having issues. Maybe I'll turn Physx off completely when i get home and test it again.

Your TG looks cool. What skill is your main focus? Lost fusion?

I am up for a game.

 

[DanishDevil]

Yep, I'm going all out Lost Fusion, and I have both buffs available for TG's. I was stupid enough to put 9 skill points into the shield skills though because I thought it helped out my shield buff, but since I only have 1 arm available to me, I can't use shields! Oh well. I've got around 350 armor and I've been putting everything into Vitality for more HP's. I've got a few points in Hafted Weapons and Armor Lore, and lots in Lost Fusion Lore and...whatever the other word is besides "Lore" that relates to Lost Fusion.

How exactly do we play together? One of us has to host the game, right? We should all share IM's or have somebody with an extra machine host at least a TeamSpeak for us if not a game

 

[Mike0409]

Got my Xfire down on the bottom of my sig! Add me!

Dont use any really big IM software cept Steam and such.

 

[DanishDevil]

I never use XFire, but check to the left for my IM's. Steam is also under DanishDevil.

 

[DanishDevil]

I lied. Warding Energy Lore (what I thought did physical equipped shields) does help the shield that Temple Guardians and Seraphims get.

Added ya to steam DD.

Another update on DanishDog:

Got this sick helm after defeating the Easter Egg Bunnies and talking to the rabbit that came out of the giant easter egg

All silliless aside, here I am with a truly better helm:

While I'm casting my Untouchable Force buff. Fucking cool to say the least.

Man, I just spent the last half hour fighting the water boss. I had him down to like 30% health, then he regenned the shit out of himself back to 2/3 and I couldn't do anything to him!

One thing I realized. I need to stop bumping Vitality and start bumping Stamina, which decreases the regen time of combat arts. My Archimedes Beam does 213 damage in 3 seconds, but its regen time of 14 seconds is killing me. Looks like it's side quests for a while. Maybe I'll find a few more set items

 

[phanbuey]

this game actually looks pretty cool... i played the original and it was mildly addicting. thinking about trying it out.

 

[DanishDevil]

If you're not sure, grab the demo. I wasn't sure, so I got the demo, and that sealed the deal for me

You mean the big squid thingy? He was pretty tough. My two helper skellies would rush in and then get beat down in about 5 seconds (fortunately they regen automatically and rejoin the fight). I was getting virtually no where with him until I started using "Demonic Blow" which does a sick amount of damage.

For my SW I keep putting his points into strength. If I remember correctly he is at around 165 strength, about 800 armor and somewhere around 1850 hitpoints.

I started a new Seraphim on Silver. It's definitely harder. A lot less health potions drop and the spells seem much harder to resist.

Been busy the last comple days. I think I will need to feed my Sacred addiction tonight.

 

[Mike0409]

Anyone ever have their Open Char's reset? Like I made a single player char, which is transferable VIA LAN/Open I thought..But some reason it has reset back to level 1?

Maybe one of those random crash's did it.. =/

 

[DanishDevil]

BTW, that is on Silver. I started my Temple Guardian on Silver and have been playing nothing but it.

I have no idea about that Mike. I made the character on open net in my own server, and have been playing it in there. I tried to play him in SP, but it said it wouldn't save quest progress, so I just kept playing online.

Is it reset to level 1 on SP as well? If so, that sucks man My luck's been a lot better since I updated all the Microsoft junk. Have you tried that yet?

Yeah I started my Char on silver as well but as a SP game. Game crashed said forget it then boom back to Level 1. It doesn't save quest progress as a LAN game, I am unable to host Open Net games for myself, say's something about the Port not found, and it's been forwarded on my firewall/router. But I can join games no problem. Closed net I can create/join no problem either.

I did all the Microsoft updates, and turned of Physx and I think that did it for me, I just finished playing for a good hour without any crash's. So I think I'm golden. *Crosses fingers*

EDIT: I crashed..Spoke to soon..

 

[DanishDevil]

Grass at 50% too. You don't notice it "growing" unless you zoom all the way in and look ahead.

There's an F key for saving. Somebody posted it in here a couple of times, but I'm at work so I can't spend too much time looking for it right now.

Also, Open Net is hosted off of your machine. Make sure you're port forwarding 7011, not the 6009(I think) port, and I think it's still "sacred.exe" Closed net is hosted off of their servers, so that's why you don't have a problem joining them. Luckily, I got away with keeping a dynamic IP since I'm wired.

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

I am going to be hosting a game on open net...right after I post this. I have a couple of friends that may join, 1 for sure.

so the server name is "1H1K" and the password is "TPU"

See you there if you make it, should be online for many hours.

 

[DanishDevil]

I won't be able to I'd love to, but I've got my exam tomorrow. That, and I'm in class for 3.5hrs starting now

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

luckily i had the day off.

Trying to make 36th today for my ice mage. currently 32 i think.

 

[DanishDevil]

Good luck It takes me long enough to level at level 22ish LOL.

 

[DanishDevil]

I just wanted to share this screenshot I found on the Sacred 2 forums of a very nicely dressed Temple Guardian:

He needs a better waistband IMO.

 

[DanishDevil]

Can someone please explain the gems to me? I still have no idea what they're for, but I know that monsters have colors on the thing under them when targeted, and above and below their health bar, and that you can use them against certain "types" of enemies to your benefit.
