Diablo clone indeed!I found two pieces of the Imperial Raiment set, the Imperial Armor and Greaves. I found Ramses' Coil, the bracers of the Ramses set. Also, I acquired an epic sword, Wing Chun's Tear; two epic rings, Captain's Signet and Oath Ring; and I used Frostmoon all the way to the end.

It's a little disappointing for someone like me who loves intricate character creators, like City of Heroes's or Soul Calibur III's, but it's really not too bad once you get into it. Maybe it's just because I'm playing Hoplite Bob (well, Lysandros) at the moment, but I've hardly noticed the generic-ness of my dude through that sexy Corinthian-style helm.Stofsk wrote:Before when you said that the appearance isn't customisable, does that mean all your characters look the same?

Where's stark? This sounds like the sort of thing he might bitch about.
Interestingly enough, I got that last night after having played for many hours on end (in addition to general slow ups). I don't think I was overheating, so it may have been the game just being silly.Vympel wrote:I started playing the game, i got a weird video glitch problem where the inventory would sort of white out (the grid would dissapear etc) and the text would go all blocky and unreadable.
After Epic difficulty, there is Legendary difficulty, which is supposed to be incredibly tough. There's no "hardcore" difficulty in the spirit of Diablo II, i.e. "one death and that's it", AFAIK.Stofsk wrote:But is there a HARDCORE difficulty?Darth Quorthon wrote:Just finished the game on Normal difficulty, preparing to try it on Epic difficulty.
There are regular, magical, rare, epic, and legendary items. According to the manual, legendary items begin to appear near the end of epic difficulty. Epic and Legendary items can be both stand-alone and set items. Rare items are usually pretty good, and they drop occasionally, and sometimes merchants have them. The Oath Ring epic item that I acquired was a quest reward. I think the game said I had killed close to 10,000 enemies by the end of the regular campaign, and the only epic items I had were the seven I mentioned, plus two that I didn't want. I remember for sure that one was in a chest, and enemies dropped a few of them. I had to clear out numerous optional dungeons and areas to find some of them. Magical items drop pretty regularly, but I found them to be so random, i.e. a magic staff when I'm a melee fighter, that I was surprised when I found one to be of use.Stofsk wrote:Diablo clone indeed!I found two pieces of the Imperial Raiment set, the Imperial Armor and Greaves.

How common are Awesome level magic items? What is the ratio between Awesome Items to Bullshit Items?
I don't know what the level cap is, if there is one. My character was level 32 when I finished the normal campaign. It's a pretty fast-paced game. There was very little wandering about aimlessly.Stofsk wrote:How bad is the grind? What's the level cap? 1-99 (a la Diablo 2) or what?
My understanding is that SP and MP characters are the same. If noones online you can play SP with an MP character and drop back into MP at any time with that same character. I haven't tested this theory though.Anarchist Bunny wrote:So SP characters can interact online? Such as items I have can be traded to you guys SP characters?
If so I have two falcatas, one that has a 5% chance to reduce targets life 27%, the other that gives +1 to rogue skills plus other effects. Anyone interested?

Im level 7 after 2 hours of play and the action is almost non-stop.
Definitely. Level 1 would probably be ideal, as much as I like my hoplite I have other classes I want to experiment with and otherwise everyone would be different levels and on different quests.Stofsk wrote:We need to get into a party MP thing. But should we start afresh as level 1s? Another thing: do the monsters get harder if more people are in the MP world?
