Forgot to mention this: Had a problem in a multi-player game the other night. 3 of us playing with our low-level characters. 13, 7 and 8. The host was getting almost NOTHING from the drops (LV7). No money, no items etc. His Loot options were all default. The other person and I (13 and 8) were getting everything split evenly. In 3 hours he ended up getting $500 and like 2 items... not even potions (I had to keep giving him some since I wasn't using any). I've seen people say the online loot distribution was really good. Didn't seem so to us.
We were all in the same party and he was getting XP correctly...
Edit: Hammer... was wondering if that was you. I'll OK it this evening.

Did he adjust his Collect settings under the Gameplay tab (start -> RT)?Cahill said:

Dude, don't get frustrated. Plan out your build before you start. With my HE , I took Delphic Arcana Lore and Focus - When I should have just taken Focus, I was pissed. With this next build read a guide and plan it out.

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
Wat?
Is this the small blurry text that is keeping me from the game?
The font seems to have an appropiate size I doubt it would be unreadable in my Sony Wega Trinitron whatever SD tv

Thanks!Hammer24 said:Wow, this lad looks badass!Nice sword.
Edit: how did you die 4 times with this baddy?!
When I first started my character, I somehow created an online game I guess...not knowing what I was doing, I promptly died several times. :lol I've since figured out how to survive, but it will be a permanent blemish on my record.Mik2121: sure man, add me (or anybody else for that matter)

I won't be on much today, but I definitely will be in the coming days.
The font for quest text and loot drops is a lot smaller, so thats probably where the complaints of readability on sd tvs comes from. Other than that, it should be readable for most other things.dgenx said:
Speaking of deaths. The very first time I started the game up I made my Inquisitor.. appeared in the world and immediately hit up and the d-pad to see my special ability. This in turn summoned the giant evil demon (sorry don't remember the name) that proceeded to walk around for a few seconds before kicking the shit outta me in one hit. Then it did it again and again and again as it followed me around... finally I just ran like a little girl until it lost me.
Is there any way to make that thing actually do something usable? I summoned him on a boss and he followed me around completely ignoring the boss - even kept bumping into him just to get at me... asshole.

Damn. You have sick armor. My armor sucks for my guy :/
I'm using a rather weak Guitar sword because it supposedly increases my chances of getting rare loot. This game is awesome though. Now I want a new build since I know I screwed up alot of stuff. I just don't want to part with a guy I put so many hours into :/

IMO that is the worst Divine ability in the game and I've never even taken it. I was reading the desription and I'm like "the demon frickin turns on you after a bit...what help!" :lol
Uggggh, My girlfriend keeps getting 2 and 3 star items, and I am lucky to find 1 star items. She has bargaining and some equip that gives her +12% or so to finding valuables, so that probably accounts for that (I pretty much never buy anything off of vendors anymore, she continiously finds good stuff).
I am considering picking up enhanced perception my next level, as I am 17, next one gives me a new skill slot. I could still maybe pick up some more combat skills (speed or damage lore for example), but other than that I have pretty much everything that is essential that I need for my shadow warrior build. Oh no wait I just remembered as I was typing this, I need to have 5 points in a general skill before I can get enhanced perception. Well I did want to pick up blacksmithing... but is it worth it picking up TWO general skills? So torn.

This is the divine ability my Inquisitor has and I love it. Mainly just because it is really entertaining to pull on a group of friends. :lol
We actually killed him once. It took forever and he doesn't even give you XP.

Nah, doesn't look bad. I got a dryad only a couple of levels higher, 26 or so. She's got comparable attack, but better defense, i'm guessing due to high dex. The fire defense isn't a problem. You should be rolling in all sort of relics by this point, just equip fire ones if you need fire protection.Duke Togo said:

Are their any deals for this game out this? PC version
Digital download would be ideal.

The key to increasing your chance to find valuables is a high enhanced perception and a high survival bonus. Equip a bunch of runes to get your EP as high as possible. The higher both of those are, the more valuable loot you will find.
I took enhanced perception with my High Elf, along with bargaining, so two general skills, and I've found both to be incredibly useful so far. Most especially EP.
It also helps to equip some items that have the chance to find valuables bonus, obviously.
I think this bears repeating:
The ONLY way to permanently mess up a build is to make a poor choice when choosing a skill. EVERYTHING else (mainly regen times, which everyone is very concerned with) can be fixed, over time.
If you have the SKILLS you want, but you accidentally learned too many runes, there is absolutely no need to re-roll.
Also, I think only putting one rune into a skill is a mistake. I have ~7 runes in my buffs and other most useful combat arts, but the regens are still reasonable if you Gem your weapons to reduce regen, if you put points in Stam, if you have armor lore, etc.

This is mah boy as of right now:
He looks alright I guess, and he has a weapon that seems pretty good (not the one he is using on the pic), it has a gold and a silver slots, but I'm not sure what should I use.
Also, I don't know much about the runes and all that... I've seen some people that has like 600 of armor on level 24 (Duke), but I'm level 19 and I have like 200 at most
I guess it's all about the runes and all that stuff, right? I will need to check some sacredwiki because I'm a bit lost

Mik, check out the official forums. Great resource there. Here is a link to the Shadow Warrior section: http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/forumdisplay.php?f=121. Lot's of great info that has helped me a lot.
Also, for all you Shadow Warriors, here is a pretty good template to follow or get some ideas from. This was posted by r00ster on the official forum and it's been a great help to me.
I've been following this template so far and I'm crushing mobs with ease.
Edit: This build is for those who don't use the Astral Lord aspect. If you check out the official forums there's some great tips for those who want to do a tank/summoner build.

All I want to say is that I've been following and posting in this thread since it started basically and it absolutely thrills me to see so many people posting and enjoying this game. Ive managed to basically get 3 other people to buy this game and we have been having a blast.
Keep up all the good work with tip sharing and helping out other players with questions. You guys rock!

As Duke said, quest and loot text is a lot smaller so it's harder to read. After searching through YouTube I managed to find a HQ clip of a guy playing on "a crappy TV" which has to be displaying in SD. Check it out and see if the text size is good enough for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUSnptbj5W0&fmt=18dgenx said:

Can you put two buffs in a combo? Could I then pick Combat Discipline to reduce all of my regens for my other CA's, or does it not work that way?
I'm trying to pick the next skill for my dryad. I have Tactics Lore, Nature Weaver Lore, Capricious Hunter Focus, Concentration, and Ranged already. Probably going for either Combat Discipline (if I can figure out a way to use that effectively) or Combat Reflexes next. I guess Nature Weaver Focus would be another option.
EDIT: Oh wait, I guess I could just put Darting Assault and Ravaged Impact into combos by themselves and take advantage of the combo regen reduction.

Man. Shadow Warrior armor looks bad ass. All the armor for the Dryad looks goofy.

The posters Qwalen and r00ster on the official boards are a good start to learning more about the game. They seem to know what they are talking about. Searching for their posts has been a great help.

That link explains the blacksmith process.
I don't know about that if you like to forge a lot of stuff. I've read on the official forums that some of the high end weapons can cost near $1,000,000 to forge one slot. A high blacksmith skill probably reduces that greatly.Loudninja said:

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
The game looks pretty fucking awesome and it completely slipped under my radar. I'm going to try the demo, let's see if it runs decently on my 8400gshit.
So is it normal that on Silver,with a level 18 Temple Guardian that I can't beat the Kobold Chief Boss yet?...I barely damage him,I tried everything and he just regens too fast for now to try it,the fight would last forever...if I press the left Stick(L3)on the 360,it shows some icons...the ones on the left are the weakness and the right his strenght?...I see he is storng against fire so I use my ice spell but that doesnt do much damage as well...
Ricker said:
HAHA welcome to my world. I have a level 19 high elf though. You can't use fire against him pretty much, and he has a buff that regens his health. I spammed Ice spells and a ton of health potions to finally beat him. I'm not sure what your class has unique to it to help you out.

Okay question: I started a Dryad and started with ranged weapons, but when I hit level 2 I went through and leveled up my character and chose to buy a sword skill. When I came across a merchant, all of the swords were red, but my dumb ass bought one anyway, and I can't use it.
What gives? If i can purchase a sword skill, shouldn't I, y'know, be able to use a sword?
