Holy shit, looks like Rena needs to stop screwing around and get her unique mount already! That thing's awesome!

Gotcha! Thought it might be a different color on the list or something. Thanks!
It is on the PC, no idea why it was removed for the console versions.

On the issue of colour, there have been a tonne of complaints about the loot drops no longer being colour-coded. On the PC version loot items are written in a colour according to rarity, so for example the rarest items are written in yellow so if you suddenly saw yellow loot flash on screen after killing an enemy you'd have a heart attack. Pretty stupid that they removed it as it actually meant going out of their way to change it to something with no benefits at all. Everyone's been calling for it to be changed back so who knows what a future patch will bring.
 
GT's review was kinda harsh, but, man... those bugs are starting to put me off too. I can live with NPCs stuck to their knees in the floor, or the equipment list not updating when i sell shit. But i'm getting sick and tired of my character getting stuck in geometry for no apparent reason.
 
Rolled through a few more levels tonight. My dryad is finally starting to come around.

I still crack up whenever I hear some random guy singing "This land is sacred!" in town. :lol

Heres a tip when fighting the Kobolt Chieftan (captain?) don't summon the Kar dragon, it makes the whole fight a bit harder. I summoned it for the first time in the game, thinking it would help med fight it, but after a couple of seconds I was fighting two monsters, died three times and shrunk my light potions collection from 48 to 2 :(

But is there any reason I shouldn't put as many runes I can into buffs?

Just a heads up. A cdv official over at teamxbox forums has confirmed a patch that addresses certain issues such as the Imp pre-order bonus, save file corruptions and player-trading on single consoles among other things. They've submitted the patch to Microsoft and are waiting for it to be approved. Looks like we should have it real soon.

when using a buff, it slows the regen time of all combat arts. If you have Concentration and multiple buffs up, they both slow all combat arts regen times.

Like with the other CAs, look at the details on the next level before committing.
 
My girlfriend and I just finished silver difficulty. We were about to start a gold game only to find that her character corrupted after the credits.

Fuck this game.

So I cant buy more than one horse?How do I get rid of the other one?

Edit:nvm :lol


Speaking of regular mounts,where the hell can I find/buy one?? i'm level 20 now and I never saw a horse place yet...well I did once but it was on an escort mission so I couldn't stop and didn't go back right away after and now I can't remember where...was it north of Thylisium or Sloeford?? I have 2 quests now that are way East on the map,getting there with a ride would be much faster.

They are marked with a horseshoe on the minimap. A lot of small villages have them (elven camps in the start).

I am doing everything! 26 hours, Level 32 - just started Chapter 2. In case anybody was wondering how big the game is. :lol

I think we must be going at about the same pace! I think I'm a couple of levels above you (I think I hit 35 last night) and I just now crossed that Dragonsden Gate (I can't remember the exact name--I don't think that's right). I couldn't believe how long I had played when I looked at the timer; it didn't feel that long at all. This game really sucks away the time.

I thought it was funny last night, but it's not quite as amusing this morning since I still have the song stuck in my head.

I'm at about 18 hrs, Level 28. Seems like most people are still a bit ahead of me, but I have been playing co-op with some people's alt accounts. I need to post some pics when I have a chance, though my dryad armor is kinda lame.

What aspect are you? I found the sleeves for Daerwain's Revenge but I'm Capricious Hunter and not Cabalistic Voodoo.

Capricious Hunter mostly. I don't really use any of the Cabalistic Voodoo aspect yet, though I might start monkeying around with Malicious Totem if it doesn't kill my regens to have the 3rd buff running. I found the Bark of the Forest chest piece last night when we were cruising around in the desert, but I can't use it yet. It's lvl 35.

After reading this thread i bought this game. Since i love Diablo esque games i thought it would be fun ride..

I kinda regret it now. It's kinda choppy. Frame rate is terrible and it never gets smooth. I am still too early in the game to judge the gameplay but so far (i am level 14) i have this basic sword and keep slashing whatever comes to my path except bosses. I am not playing the bronze mode btw. I havent read a single quest description yet lol and i don't need it i guess.. Thanks to markers on map i can finish quests without much effort..I wish it had more atmospehere like diablo 2.

ANNND what are those silly npcs following me all the time!?!?!?!?!?

A small bear and a zombie soldier is walking with me all the time and all they do is just tag along with me.. Are they supposed to help me?!?!?!
 
I have armor that has a stat "Selling Price +71.3%."

What does this mean? I can sell it for more, or can I sell anything in my inventory for more, or what?

It can get choppy at times, but I found that setting the camera to fixed helps with the frame rate a bit. Also, it seems that the more I play, the less I either notice the frame dips, or the game is installing the places I visit so they load better the next time you visit them.

Those NPC's are likely part of an escort quest. I had a zombie soldier follow me for a long time, until I found where he was supposed to be going. Have a look at your quest log, and it should give you an indication of where to bring them.

They major technical complaint throughout this entire thread has been the games inconsistant framerate. So you did see that one coming, you had to.

The people tagging along are incomplete quests you have yet to finish.

I hate this game. I can never seem to set aside just two hours in the evening to explore the map and complete a few quests, without it becoming an overnight marathon. I've neglected so many things around the house (including a very important work project), that it's making me seriously contemplate returning/selling my copy before it turns into an MMO addiction.

My eyes are bloodshot today, and I have a long list of things to do this weekend
that I was supposed to do earlier this week.

Put the camera on static, I havn't had any trouble with the stuff you are mentioning. Tried the follow (the default camera) and noticed much more problems with the frame rate.

I'm sorry, that really sucks, I'm hoping there's going to be a patch soon to fix that bug. I'm actually hoping we can look forward to continued support for a while since this game can definitely benefit from a little more time in the oven.

Have the devs ever mentioned anything about possible DLC expansion content?

Yes they have. They've already finished the game's first patch which fixes the save corruption bug and also readies the game for future DLC content, among other things. The patch was submitted to Microsoft and is just waiting to be approved for release.

Yes. Despite the financial situation at Ascaron they talked about Sacred 3 and possible DLC for Sacred 2 in a Press Release not that long ago.

It means just that one item is boosted in selling price. I was confused by this at first, too. Really wish it applied to everything you sell when you have something like that equip'd hah!

Then again, I have 2 million+ gold and nothing to spend it on, so maybe not...
