Yup, though at higher levels it becomes really expensive to socket stuff. Plus there's rebuying mounts, should yours die. Still, lots of gold with not a lot to spend it on.

Dear god!
Also, a Gheed would be awesome! There's your DLC idea, Ascaron! Give us a gambling hall to blow money in.
Diseased Yak said:
Have you been blacksmithing? That get's crazy expensive. Also, you can put those rings and stuff into your weapons/armor and it will increase the sell price of your items by that much.
Edit after reading other posts: Okay, so I guess money is never an issue? For that matter neither are heath potions, which is why I guess there isn't a pure healer class.
Huh, so the game's framerate is better at 720p than 1080p? I'll have to give that a shot, not that it bothers me much other than some of the CAs seem to cause slowdown if I'm zoomed in.

According to a Sacred 2 dev this makes no difference. The game always renders @1080p. However, when I insert the disc in the ps3 next month I'm expecting a game which has a constant 25FPS at best. Yeah, that's sad considerd how much better this game could shine with more polish.
I'm on the PS3 version 1080p.
Only put about half an hour to an hour into the game thus far but yeah the framerate is noticeably bad right from the start. It seems to hold steady in the mid to high 20s. The screen tearing is horrible as well and this is coming from someone who rarely gets bothered by screen tearing.
I'm thinking of running it in 720p to see if it improves but it's going to be annoying to repeatedly switch my PS3 video settings around just to play a game.
EDIT: Just read Thrakier's remarks so yeah never mind about the settings.

I'm level 53 and have over 20 million gold. I should change my loot settings to only pick up certain things.

All this depends upon your notion of "terribly" and 'badly." The game seems to hover around 30 frames per second, it's easily on par with the average game last gen. It's not smooth as ice, but it is fine and totally playable. I'm not sure what you people who are complaining about the frame rate in this game did last generation when this was the norm.
The game itself is still a blast. Three of my friends have picked it up and all of them are really digging it. In my opinion, it is one of the best co-op games on the 360.

I guess I enjoy it enough to put up with it, but the frame rate is a bit sketchy on PS3. The screen tearing is definitely more annoying, though I've played worse

I'm having trouble remembering, but the tear here is a rather regular vsync issue, without the ugly tear you sometimes get in games that have awful problems with it. It's not that pronounced, but it is obvious.
Level 22, finally made it to Thylysium tonight. This game is massive; it hit me when I realized how many quests were in the city alone.
I got a Temjin-lookalike helmet for my Seraphim tonight to go with her techno future boots. She needs to start blasting some techno or cliqhop to complete the look.

He was just warning you that the monsters beyond that bridge are more powerful than the monsters before it. Relax.Loudninja said:

Is there a blind gaurdian quest bug? I just found the guitar and it says I need to find the sticks. But Im standing on the next quest point which is in an empty camp, but nothing is happening.
edit: whew! Saving and going back fixed it.
BTW running the 360 version in 1080P and framerate is good most of the time. I tried 720 but didn't see any improvement in the fps, just a drop in picture quality. So I switched back.

I apologize for not reading each post, skimming instead, but is there any update about the patching status for
a) the imp, and,
b) the general gameplay issues?
I've had a couple of freeze ups in the last few days, neither of which were too much of a waste of time, but which were annoying nonetheless. Aside from that, I've started 4 characters, all around level 20, and I am as happy as a pig in shit with this game....:lol

A patch has been sent to MS for certification. Just waiting for it to be approved.
Thrakier said:
Did he say it makes no difference on both version or just the PS3 one. If he said it about both, i can tell you he is certifiably full of shit.
Around 25fps is about right for the 360 version at 720p. It's less at 1080p, and generally runs at 30 at 480p, except in the big cities and a few other areas with lots of geometry.
Even at 1080p, it's still playable though. Since it's a top-down perspective, the framerate has very little impact on gameplay. It just makes the game look like crap every time you travel more than a few feet.
EternalGamer said:
has this been confirmed? Last I heard, all that was said was someone from the publisher posted on teamxbox that the patch should be out soon. He never said anything about sending it to MS.
edit - nevermind, I see on the forum that the same guy said it was sent to MS.
Either you're playing with the camera fully zoomed out (which, admittedly, takes a noticeable hit on fps) or else you need new eyes from ebay. I'm playing the 360 version at 1080p, with a static camera and zoomed in at roughly 60%, with very few drops under 30. Believe me, I should know, as I've suffered through Two Worlds from beginning to end. Of course, I also realize that fiddling around with the perspective isn't an option for co-op play.Brashnir said:

I'm torn about it as I got a little better with the PC controls. It runs at full at a buttery 50fps with all effects at full on my pc. It's easier to do everything else with less bugs too.

I went and recreated my character yesterday since I wasnt really loving the shield sword warrior and made a dual wield warrior. He owns shit so quickly now. I have my 2 skeleton soldiers with me as I do frenzied rampage attacks and then a combo of dem. blow and s. sweep and I just own everything. My screen, if there is enough mobs will just fill with XP gained above my head its funny.

Ok, so I took the plunge, and started last night. I'm sure there are plenty of posts like mine sprinkled throughout the thread, but what they hell am I doing? I'm a level 3 seraphim but I haven't picked any skills or done anything to my character, because I have no idea what's going on.
I suppose I need to go spend some quality time with the wiki, but is there a beginner's faq to explain the mechanics anywhere?

These posts bother me a little and I will explain to you why.
If you are going soley by reviews the games metacritic s 75 green and generally favorable. That is about where it is at for me personally it is an extemely fun and deep 8 due to minor bugs.
You also have a shit ton of disclosure from GAF, complete with gameplay, tips, and screenshots.
I think the general consensus here (which I agree with) is that your first character should not be your primary. That is, just pick a class, start a new game and play around with it a bit until you gradually become accustomed to the skill/rune system. It may take an hour or two to figure out what's going on, but it's definitely worth the time investment. Obviously, scouring the wiki helps to familiarize with the terminology, but I had to actually get into the game world and experiment with different skill modifiers before I felt comfortable with a particular strategy.Revengeance said:
Agreed. IGN has admitted to submitting their initial review based on a pre-retail build (the rewrite was a farce), and I would wage that GameTrailers followed suit, considering that they detracted points from many of the same "game killing" bugs. Also, how does one explain away the 90+ scores from 1UP and GA?
As a fan of hack&slash, loot collectathons, I've wholeheartedly recommended S2 to several friends, all of whom have been just as pleased with their purchase as I've been. It's roughly the same quality as Divine Divinity (which is the greatest compliment I can give), and a far cry from garbage like Too Human.

Im paranoid right now so i decided to save on my memory card rather than my hard drive. It was starting to get really slow everytime i saved which makes sense if its loading and saving to the same source.
At least now i get to redo some of those skills choices.
I liked my melee seph but dont want to play my ranged character as another female. Does the shadow warrior get really kick ass looking armor relatively early on?

so i bought the game based on gaf claims (typically horrible idea) but i must say im really liking it. Got it for 360. Everything ive seen of the game has screamed super generic and uninteresting to me, but on my tv screen it is much moire beautiful than i expected. Also, the atmosphere of the game hasnt translated at all in any of the media ive seen for it. I love how i can be in the graveyard hearing moans and crickets at night. Great ambient sounds.
Ive only played for like 30 minutes though so i dont know.
edit: I just read tombstones that said "The cake is a lie!" and "Reserved for critics"
good stuff
