S2FA FAQs

[Night Ω Wolfe]

First I would like to apologize to everyone, my current computer (a laptop) isn't quite good enough to play S2. I hope that I will be able to scrape the money together to repair my broken desktop computer soon, but it could be a few months before I am able to do that. Therefore, I am really depending on all of you to help out with information/screenshots to create FAQs for everyone....

That being said...

What types of FAQs does everyone want ASAP?
What kinds of FAQs do you all think are important to have specifically located on the Official Forum's FAQ Board as well as at Wolfe's Lair (where I can use an unlimited amount of images)?

Also, I have a number of things in mind that I would like to create or improve upon but I need your guys help on that....

I would like:

• Info. on the different modifications you can apply to all the different characters CAs and more info. on how modification actually works.

[/s]
[/li][li]Info. and screenshots for socketing (unless Gogo doesn't mind if I steal his great guide and images).[/s]
[/li][li]The same for the Combo Master and his rune exchange.
[/li][li]Screenshots and details for all the Special Mounts and their quests.[/s]
[/li][li]Screenshots and details of any Easter Eggs anyone comes across.
[/li][li]Screenshots for all set items, legendary items and uniques people find.
[/li][li]Explanations for the mount CAs.
[/li][li]Names of all the locations on the map.
[/li][li]Information on leveling your character, like THIS guide.
[/li][li]What kinds of gear can be equipped by each character, like THIS guide.[/s]
[/li][li]Any information people have so far on item modifiers.
[/li][li]Anything else you all might come across and think should be included in a FAQ.

Screenshots can be emailed to me at [e-mail].

Must include a section to warn people about the DRM scheme used. Sacred2 uses SecureROM and has an installation limit of 2.

[Night Ω Wolfe]

Isn't that detail right in the game manual though?

[kcwong]

Not everyone reads all those tiny text on the box... esp. when you are so excited about a new game...

I thought I bought a game, now I found I only rented it.

I swear Sacred2 is the first and last game I'll buy with such draconian DRM. *Gaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh*

What the hell do Ascaron need DRM for anyway... it won't stop anyone from adding a few branch codes into the executable to bypass it all, but it will definitely make the customers uncomfortable.

And on top of it all, one of Sacred's main point is to play online in the closed servers, where you must have a valid serial number to play.

So to boost sales all they needed is to add more exclusive features in closed MP, just the way Blizzard does with Diablo.

Why, why this DRM from hell?!

I posted this in the SIF and apparently I wasn't the only goose that got caught.

If you use Fraps when playing S2 DONT hit the F9 key to save in SP without first turning off the default video recording key in Fraps, which happens to be F9.

My 50Gig C drive quickly became full with useless S2 in game videos.

[Night Ω Wolfe]

LOL, thanks for the hint stubbie!

I did the same thing too for a week or so until I found the random 30 gigs or so of videos hiding in the FRAPS folder, so you are not alone.

Sorry, I know this is most likely old news, however I just found this out.
Only 1 usage of your 2 license's are allowed online.
That was a let down
