[:1]I'm essentially looking for some listing/site that lists the differences between sword types.
For example:
broadsaber:
type of damage: physical direct and splash
slots that can spawn: 2-4
speed: normal attack rate
equip cost: 16 str, 26 will
Etc. etc.
Thanks for any help.

Newbie questions :)
[:1]Hey people, i just got this game today and im currently a lvl 10 summoner.
Im playing on the default difficulty ofc, and Solo. I have noticed that the game seems a little repetitive in the sense that i go in somewhere, kill a load of stuff and then do the same somewhere else, do quests grow beyond the 'kill x' or 'collect x hides from z'.
Also, being a summoner seems very easy, i appreciate that its early lvls for me, but would you say that things get more challenging later on? (from a summoners perspective)?
One last question, i got a legendary weapon at lvl 6, was that lucky or the norm? cos im still practically 1 shotting things (got a legendary ammo upgrade on the same run as the weapon).|||Quote:

It doesn't change, that's pretty much how it is right now. Future patches may change things.

I've never played a Summoner, but that pattern applies to all characters. My Blademaster could one-shot pretty much everything in the early game, but it gets steadily more difficult the further you progress.

Anyone can get lucky. Just keep in mind that a level 6 legendary is only powerful in comparison to other level 6 items. It won't remain powerful throughout the game.|||Thank your for the reply, i didnt mean to sound coy when i said i got lucky with a legendary drop and i know that it will soon be replaced, however, 4 lvls later its still better than what i can currently get (or have had drop) plus the ammo upgrade gives me (not 100% correct, but very similar) +44%damage to demons and +54%damage to undead (i think its undead, ill check next time i log in)
to me, that upgrade seems very good and worth the cost to remove it once i upgrade weapons.|||I didn't mean to sound condescending regarding the legendary drop. Sorry if it came off that way.
I just mean that everyone will get lucky now and then. Not everyone will find legendary items at level 6, but everyone will probably find a few of them during their demonhunting career.|||The quests are all the same. Most of the areas look the same as well. There only seem to be about 5 or 6 different area types. And yes, Summoners are wholly overpowered.|||if you have the truble plz come to LINK REMOVED--DACAR

Mods Engineer Weapons, Drones, and Armor
[:1]Bro,
Need your advise how to mods Engineer Weapons, Drones, and Armor and at them moment my character just reached level 6.
A lot thanks for the advice|||You can drag and drop mods onto your weaponry if it has the appropriate mod slots available.
You can't mod armour at all.
You can't add armour or weaponry to your drone until you put a point into the appropriate skill. Which you won't be able to do at level 6, you need to be 10, from memory, to be able to add a gun.|||Quote:

Dear Mythor,
At the moment my character is already reached level 13 but I do still can't mods my drone. Can you advice me the appropriate skill so I can mods the drone ? And how / when i can get the appropriate mod slots available ?
Really appreciated for the assistance.|||I can't recall off the top of my head, but if you read the descriptions of the skill it should be obvious which one grants the ability to put a gun on your drone.|||You also can't equip your drone unless he is summoned. Once summoned in an instance, you hold ALT and click on the drone's picture, then select Inventory. That is where your drone's equipment is shown, based on teh skills you have invested in - as Mythor mentioned. Also (and I didnt know this for my first engineer till about lvl 20) your drone also gets stat points. They are on the same Inventory screen.
HTH

Patch 1.3a - Introduction of Lag?
[:1]On Europe I'm noticing that lag is occurring a lot. I've never noticed it before but since 1.3a it's given me enough cause for concern that I've had to use the /ping command to monitor it. It's the first time since October that I've even noticed lag as been an issue. I usually have around 73ms - 100ms as standard but every now and again it spikes into the 4000s.
There are no other processes on my machine running that would cause this behaviour and other online games do not appear to be affected.
Is anyone else experiencing the same?
The reason this has got my back up is that I lost a Level 17 hardcore elite summoner when attempting to down the exospector. I was happily shooting away at the bile lords with full health aware of them moving in, then all of a sudden I was surrounded by a bile lord and a few orbiles and was zapped, that was that. No time to react properly.
Thank goodness for the shared stash as I make sure my characters only have in their personal stash items I am happy to lose with regular money payments emailed to the mule.
I've had a couple of near misses too with lag. I'm going to suspend my hardcore play for a bit to see if this a temporary issue.
How's it been for everyone else on Europe?|||I was having some bad lag recently... but it corresponds with my using the internet at home instead of the dorms (the latter is a superior connection, I believe). I had even worse lag earlier this week when I was using a wireless connection.
My symptoms have been where monsters freeze and skills do nothing. Also I've had where I can move around, but I can't even use my skills (i.e. the keys do nothing). Jumping works sometimes, I think.... I forget.
I need to use the /ping command, though.
I'm in the US, though.|||The lag is still there for me and worringly is that nobody else has posted to say they are experiencing the same! Other online games are fine. It's not as bad as it was but there's a few instances where monsters have suddenly changed position and health bars not dropping when they should be.
I have applied a firmware update to my router but I doubt very much that it would make a difference as it fixes some DNS relay issues but it's worth a shot.
As a side issue I've also installed XP SP3 and whilst it does not make any difference to games performance on my PC , it does boot up a lot faster which is always a good thing.

Scrub The Deck Help
[:1]I somehow lost the "Cleanser" that Ser Sing gave me for clearing the way to Angel passage and would appreciate any guidance on how to retrive this weapon in order to carry on with the quest.
Thanks in advance, Drewster|||I stupidly discarded mine thinking it was just another reward for completing a mission. So now I am stuck. I haven't managed to find a way to continue in the game
Does anyone have any idea what can be done??|||Moved to the Community forum =)|||Have you tried abandoning the quest and going back to Ser Sing and re-accepting it? Dunno if she'll give it to you again but its worth a shot.|||Yeah if she wont give it to you again from just asking her, abandon it and start over.

New Game Content
[:1]Patch 1.0, with Stonehenge. was pretty cool.
I'm thinking of dipping my toe into HGL once again. Is there any new content due in the not-too-distant future or is that wishful thinking on my part?|||Bypassed the news page.

Hellgate Comic - Flamer!
[:1]The Hellgate comic created by Legends Guild recently received a negative response on the offical forums. Such comments as "badly drawn" and "Not funny" we're used.
Needless to say we we're shocked and hurt. We would like to reply by saying... (and it made us laugh)
We can be found at www.legendsguild.co.uk, drop by and say hello!|||Not funny huh? Makes me smile!

cant come back to life!
[:1]well i start another char, a marksman after hitting lvl50 rank 13 with the guardian. but after installing patch 1.3 i cant come back to life, i got to run though number of levels to get back where i was. is this a problem with this new patch?|||It's a feature of playing Elite.|||Yeah if you made yours a elite character they cant. Good way around that though is to open a portal you can use to get back there if you die.
Invincible Moloch!!! (well, almost)
[:1]Ok, so me and some buddies all decided we were gonna go kill Moloch in normal, since we were all at stonehenge in nightmare with our chars...
Thought it'd be fun for a larf and that.
Boy were we wrong!
We had:
1) lvl50 Guardian
1) lvl48 Marksman
1) lvl40 Guardian
1) lvl31 Engineer (awwww, bless 'im)
We were in Master's Court for over 45 minutes and never got the b�$%rd below more than a sliver taken off his life!!!
Here's one of the short vids I did with Moloch at lvl53 and neigh-on invincible (btw, this was after over 30 minutes of pounding on him and you can see he's still at full health)!!
This one's a little better... we sent the lower-level char in first this time and so drew a lvl35 Moloch. It was still a struggle though!!
|||BTW, that automatic rifle I'm using is Lee's Lightlance pushing out 512 damage with 600 rounds per minute.
I just noticed too, that the lvl40 Guardian had left by this point and come back in with his lower level engineer in order to try some ranged attacks... which you can see was pretty pointless. lol!|||Were people dying? Moloch gains life whenver someone dies in the Court.|||Yeah, we finally figured that out about 20 minutes in... We all started trying to be a lot more careful in there after one of us made the connection, but still, even after that, he was impossible.
We did get his life down about 1/4 once, then he spawned a shed-load of hight-level priests, who promptly regen'd him back to full health again.|||hes got a max of 12 demon priests, so its a real battle after everyone figures out how to not die and when the demon priests cant be summoned anymore.|||Very very very cool information, thanks!
I was wondering how many priests he could end up summoning. It was just silly after a while with the high-level moloch. lol

Hi,
It's my second post on this forum, I'm currently doing the quest in 314's mind with a friend, we explored his mind but couldn't find the boss.(explored 2 times)
We asked in the channel what we must do, and 3 people said that we needed "buttsecks", but after they log out or go kill some monsters and didn't explain more, we're both french and playing on Shulgoth because the ambiance is quite horrible on Sydonai, with almost no one wanting to party, insults everywhere ...
I tried to search on this forum but only found 2 topics with this word, one was for a game of "the person after me" or something like that and the second was about Murmur being the oops i'm gonna spoil something, and that was reminding this guy of "buttsecks" so maybe this thing exist and is quite hard to achieve/obtain.
I googled it to but only found stupid cats pictures.
My friend think that "buttsecks" is only available for subscribers, but if you need it to finish the game I think he's wrong, because even free players can finish the multiplayer mode, I think it's stupid if you need to pay for "buttsecks" in order to finish the game.
So any of you know how to have "buttsecks" ?
Or maybe it's a prerequisted quest or a boss to kill ?|||hahaha, thats just hilarious.. :P|||Poor guy. Needs to get a grip on real life it seems.|||Pure gold.|||That's awesome

Getting back from the trash
[:1]Hello:
I have searched the forum and I didn't find a thread of "how to get back (recover) an item from the trash". I have search also faqs, guides, etc. I'm getting a little crazy!
I throw it accidentally in the garbage can and I want it back (I don't know what I was thinking when I confirm it 
). I spoke with the guy (Technoherrero 314) who gave me the mission but he says something like he is not ungry with me, just with the world (nothing more happens)... but the mission still is in the quest list. 
Act 5 > Finsbury Square:
The item is from a secondary quest in Mark Square. You have to find something like a wonderful chair (silla magn�fica) to use on it a demon claw (garra de demonio). I deleted this "demon claw".
What can I do? The chair is waiting for me
PD: Excuse my English, I'm Spanish. Thanks for reading.|||Abandon the quest and get it from the Techsmith again. I'm surprised it even let you trash it...

Hellgate London on a scale of 1 to 10
[:1]My wife and I are looking for a fun new game with exciting graphics, a great story, and an immersive world. Is Hellgate: London our new next game?
We're hoping to hear from you. On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being a total bomb and ten being the greatest MMO of all time, please reply with a rating. If it's the best/worst game you've ever played and feel compelled to post why you feel that way, please share! We really want to hear from the people playing it to help us decide if it's worth it to purchase two copies and get started.
Thank you in advance for any feedback!|||There's a demo available from most good gaming websites. Download it, install it and get an idea for yourself of whether it's something that will interest you.
The graphics are decent, the story blows and I guess the world is somewhat immersive. Most people's main issue with it was the staggering number of bugs and poor performance when the game was released. Both have improved since then, of course.
I'd probably rate it a 6 or 7. It's fun for a while and it's fun to come back to every now and then, but I've resubscribed to WoW and have barely played Hellgate since.|||At release it was pretty buggy and missing to many key features to appeal to many, but most of the bugs are gone now and they added most of the stuff they should of started with. Is it a game most would play 12 hours a day? Probably not, but as a whole I think its a enjoyable game and worth the money. Ratings wise I would say it was a 4 at release and would give it a 8 now. If you were into Diablo 2 you will most likely be into it, otherwise try a demo first.|||Agree with Shadow. If you liked D2 you'll like this, I'm pretty sure. The demo is good as a taster but there is a lot more to the game than the demo provides (as you would expect).
The game now is a huge improvement than the disaster what came out at the end of October. Each new patch is adding new content and improvements.
If you enjoy the demo then get the game.
Personally, I'd give it an 8.|||It has become a great game (with patches and content added) definately an 8, as time go's on will be a 9.
Now it has me and my eldest as subscribers, long may it improve|||It's a 2-star game. Out of ten, I would give it a three.
Maybe in two years it won't be, but people are overly generous to be honest.|||I doubt it will be around in 2 years.|||I know they purged some bugs and added content. I didn't have much issues with bugs at all during the beta run so my main questions is: did the play experience itself change/improve? The areas used to be very linear and and the surroundings dull (imo ofcourse).
I am still keeping an eye on this game I was so crazy about before release but I will need something really convincing to give it another try.|||I'd give it a 7. It's also somewhat addictive, though I find myself almost exclusively attracted to just the Evoker and Summoner classes.
I think it'll still be online in two years... but there will be even fewer players by then, unless FFS pulls a successful re-release stunt.|||i bought it on release dat, then chucked it to remote corner of my room, hoping never to unearth it again. there were just too many problems that I couldn't deal with.
now that all patches are in, it seems more playable, and yes, quite fun too.
its a break from WoW and D2 anyway...

If you were into Diablo 2 you will most likely be into it, otherwise try a demo first.|||Agree with Shadow. If you liked D2 you'll like this, I'm pretty sure. The demo is good as a taster but there is a lot more to the game than the demo provides (as you would expect).
The game now is a huge improvement than the disaster what came out at the end of October. Each new patch is adding new content and improvements.
If you enjoy the demo then get the game.
Personally, I'd give it an 8.|||It has become a great game (with patches and content added) definately an 8, as time go's on will be a 9.
Now it has me and my eldest as subscribers, long may it improve
|||It's a 2-star game. Out of ten, I would give it a three.Maybe in two years it won't be, but people are overly generous to be honest.|||I doubt it will be around in 2 years.|||I know they purged some bugs and added content. I didn't have much issues with bugs at all during the beta run so my main questions is: did the play experience itself change/improve? The areas used to be very linear and and the surroundings dull (imo ofcourse).
I am still keeping an eye on this game I was so crazy about before release but I will need something really convincing to give it another try.|||I'd give it a 7. It's also somewhat addictive, though I find myself almost exclusively attracted to just the Evoker and Summoner classes.
I think it'll still be online in two years... but there will be even fewer players by then, unless FFS pulls a successful re-release stunt.|||i bought it on release dat, then chucked it to remote corner of my room, hoping never to unearth it again. there were just too many problems that I couldn't deal with.
now that all patches are in, it seems more playable, and yes, quite fun too.
its a break from WoW and D2 anyway...
Most Poweful PvE Build?
[:1]Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me find the more powerful PvE (non-party) classes and builds in the game, cookie-cutters allowed. I had a search on the forum but it seemed pretty fruitless unless you knew what build you were looking for...
I just started playing the game. The first character I'd created is a BM but I soon (lvl 12+) found it to be pretty dire, to the point where i'm now using surgecasters(?) to get anywhere and thus my skills are worthless...
So I thought I'd create a new character and as it'll be my first proper play-through of the game I would like one that'll make it rather easy.
So does anyone have recommendations? Any specific guides I should look at?
I'm just looking for a class and build that is really powerful to the point of being overpowered.
Thanks very much,
Pimothy|||Guardian + Shield Turn = Trivializing 95% of the game. If you just want to cheese your way through, that's a pretty easy way.
Or used to be. I'll admit I haven't played my Guardian in months. But the final boss in the game hit me about 4 times in total.
Your only weakness will be flying things. Get Heaven's Arc or a decent gun to combat that.
Anything that walks around on the ground, Shield Turn will probably stun and you can hack them to death with your sword.|||Summoners are really nice I am now lv.21 and have only died twice I think both those times were due to extreme lag though. Summoners are good since they can simply back out of combat,resummon minions and elementals, and then go back in. You rarely take damage and if you invest your skill points right are basically unbeatable. The vast majority of people beliave that the summoner class is overpowered and I agree. ^_^

Weapon damage questions
[:1]Hi,
I have a couple questions regarding weapon damage in HGL:
1) Is there a difference between "Attack strength" and "Damage".
I noticed that mods can have for instance "adds X% toxic damage" or "adds X toxic attack strength". Would these both just add toxic damage or is the one damage and the other something like an ability to overcome a monster's resistance to the toxic.
2) This infers another question: Does a "adds X ... attack strength" mod do anything for a weapon that does not already do damage of the ... kind? (e.g. a toxic attack strength mod in a fire based weapon)
3) Shields have a damage value on them (at least when playing as a Blademaster, dunno about the other classes). How does this damage value affect you, if at all, when the shield is not used as a weapon but only as a shield?
4) With area of effect weapons such as the surgecasters (electricity fields) and grenade launchers, how do damage mods and auras affect damage. Does the damage get added onto the entire field, just the projectile (making it necessary to hit the target itself rather than the ground around it to get the added benefits) or does the damage mod or aura do nothing?
Thanks for any and all help
Pimothy|||1) Attack strength is related to the chance to inflict the associated status effect - in the case of fire, the chance to ignite your target. I believe it's compared to the defense of the target and that modifies your chance to set them alight.
X% Y damage simply adds more damage to the weapon.
2) If you're not doing damage of the type you have an increased attack strength for, no it won't help.
It might if you're dual wielding and you have the increased attack strength on your right hand gun with the corresponding damage on the left. But I'm not sure if that's the case.
3) If you're not hitting things with the shield, the damage number is irrelevant.
4) Damage mods (not sure about auras) affect both the initial damage from any impact, plus the damage over time. Or at least the numbers on the weapons will change accordingly.
Either way, unless you have a better mod to put in the slot that offers some other good bonus, it'd be worth putting a damage increasing mod in your weapon. More damage is always good!|||Thanks very very much!!! Makes it all a bit clearer now. Must say I would've appreciated these things being in the game booklet...

Lol! I've been running around for ages with the a surgecaster weapon with poison and ignite attack strength mods in it. Oops.

New 1.3 Patch Emotes
[:1]This seems to be a bit timely, as word on the street is that the servers are patching to 1.3 as I type this (!), but I make a quick movie of the new emotes...
It can be found here
The only one I couldn't get to work was /wave... but the rest are looking pretty cool methinks!
|||Good work. I've not had a chance to play 1.3 yet as I'm ill. Looking forward to it. It's the little things like that I find amusing.|||May I ask what program is used to record those actions in game?|||Sure thing! I used Fraps in-game, then Adobe Flash to do post production.

Dii.net down the drain...
[:1]Well my hatred is pending, as is a lot of this, but honestly, if nothing else...

Update: And it's done. We have received inside confirmation that everyone has been laid off and the studio is closing. I hate to resort to an emoticon in a news post, but...
No. No source, no hints, no nothing. How can someone lose there job over revealing a source if the studio is done?
Give us some info, or say "sources say that it's closing".
It's done is wrong.
It's done is stupid.
This is a little unbelievable. I always saw IncGamers as a pretty reliable site, and like the communities surrounding the games, especially D2.
Well I hope you guys are right, and I might be around here for D3. But even if you are that's not the way to present it.|||What I don't understand is, if it's true that Flagship is closing down, why is there nothing here about it?|||There is, check the top page.|||They can't lose their FSS job but they could miss out on a job in the future if it's known they're leak-prone.
Regardless, either it's going to be true or it's not going to be true. Does it really matter who said it either way?
Also "sources say" is the same as "inside confirmation". ;)|||It sucks. That's all.
...and what's with the title of this thread?|||Quote:

We never reveal details of inside sources (unless they want us to). We didn't when we reported D3 was being unveiled at WWI either. When you're asked not to name them you don't, it's as simple as that. The reader either takes our word for it or decides we've taken to talking out our ears all of a sudden.
It's up to you if you think it's stupid and wrong but that's how we do it and we'll not have it any other way.|||Touche. I was more upset and unclear. I was trying to make it clear that I don't think the way it is presented unless you can present at least a little bit of factual evidence that other news sites reporting are not citing.
If it's the same source as Ve3d, then I hope you're kidding. If it's not, clearly state that, and state that you cannot reveal the source at this time. It just seems very strange that you guys have a "special" source no one else has. I don't understand what's going on any better than anyone else, but I'm sick of the way this is being handled.|||I don't understand what you're sick of. They posted that D3 would be unveiled on Saturday. They said that inside sources had told them. What's wrong with that?|||It's in reference to the "inside confirmation" that FSS is closing, Dacar, not the D3 thing.
I already explained why they didn't say "Person X confirmed it" and Elly explained in more detail.
Either you choose to believe that Flux really got confirmation from someone inside, or you do not. Getting your panties in a bunch over it seems a waste of energy to me. But then, I believe Flux. Maybe I would feel different if I didn't.
Tiggs has posted that there'll be official word on Monday. Pretty weak that they're going to wait the whole weekend to address a major issue affecting the game, but... what can you do.
By the time the official announcement comes out I'll be engrossed in the Too Human demo (hopefully) and won't care anyway.|||Quote:

how long before the announcement at WW1 did you guys know that D3 was blizzard's next game? i had suspicions that you might have been given a heads up when rush and flux started to hang out more often at dii.net.

You also have in-game chat if you get an xfire account. You can add the username and password in the option menu. Once you have that set up you can use a headset icon to activate in-game chat.
Also you can use xfire (the app) and avoid using the in-game chat. Some people say vent or TS has better quality and the guild I am in uses vent.
