alfheimwanderer posted:More from the Anniversary:http://www.thesecretworld.com/news/the_secret_worlds_first_anniversary Some additional undocumented stuff regarding the event: Possible Spoilers, tagging in case someone cares about surprises still: There is a reward for defeating each boss, which appears to be a loot bag. These bags are called 'Genizah of the X' X being a relation to the boss you kill. One is Genizah of the Flowing Stone, another is the Genizah of the Lunar Metal. There are nine total. The contents of the bags are unknown, but I will make an educated guess on what is inside; 8 black bullions and/or a pet based off the boss. The pets are named similar to the bags, only their title is Shem of the X.
There are 9 pieces of new lore, located near where the bosses spawn at. For the curious with a quick google search, Shem and Genizah appear to be Hebrew in nature. Genizah is a temporary repository. Shem is a little more open ended and could mean a few things, maybe name or descendant here. I think I posted the mission completion texts earlier.

July 5th is going to come around, and, well, I’m not going to be here anymore. That’s right, as of July 5th, I will no longer be working for Funcom or be your Community Manager. Who the gently caress is this? Oh, its a Community Manager with 18 total posts last month.

Cleretic posted:The Dragon are hard to work with both in and out of character. Their methodology is so profoundly hosed up and overly complicated that it's hard to get a read on them in any capacity. I actually consider it a bit fortunate that they just come right out in their introduction and mark themselves as kidnapping rapists, so if all else fails there's some pretty sound evidence to hate them right there. I guess the thing about the Dragon is they're as likely build 100 homeless shelters as they are to murder 100 homeless guys.

orcane posted:The servers are global (actually they're in the US), there's only one game version and I think your billing address/location only determines what currency they charge you for their funbux/subscriptions. Thanks. I got a key and entered it on my account page (I made an account a couple of weeks ago using a buddy key, but haven't been able to play yet). It was accepted fine, but the only thing I want to query is that it says 'Membership No Membership' and 'Membership valid until 2013-08-01 20:07:28'. What does this valid until date mean? What will change on that date? Edit: Oh, right, it's this? - 'New players will get the benefits of a membership for one month. This includes use of The Time Accelerator XP buff item, a 10% discount in the store, an item of the month, and 1200 bonus points (though you will only receive the 1200 bonus points after solving 30 missions). If new users choose not to renew their membership, they will lose ongoing access to these benefits.' Bah, and I'm not ready to start playing yet. I applied the key right away to check if it would work. I guess it's no biggie if I'd lose access to those benefits anyhow (I don't plan to subscribe).

Bursk posted:Subscription Stuffs You should be able to complete 30 missions playing casually on and off during that month, and use those bonus points to pick up either a outfit to start your pretty pretty princess career or one of the issue pack DLC's. The other rewards are kinda meh and wont cause a loss of sleep.

I hadn't realized that Luminata (the girl in the Romany camp) actually says she's been told that so many people with magic powers are showing up because Gaia is protecting herself. It was an ambient line, has that always been there? **Enjoy your single extra bullion.

Pet is totally random. Bag can drop pet... or green signet bag. Or bullion. or blue bag. So... funcompetence. Very pissed. Like I have time to camp 9 bosses over and over within just 5 days? Was thinking I'd be lucky to get them once.

If this is what you're playing TSW for, there really are better games for you. You're basically forgoing what makes it unique and interesting in the name of things that many other games do far better. It's a bizarre choice, to me. Cleretic posted:This is literally exactly how I play it. The Dragon is kind of impossible to roleplay because the Dragon is a plot device. They require information and skills no player character could possibly have to accurately do their thing, which is to say, manipulation on a grand scale by way of events so small as to make their involvement imperceptible. The Dragon are totalitarians, even moreso than the Templars, in a manner of speaking. The difference is the Dragon is determined to achieve complete control in such a way that no one is aware they're being controlled. An illusion of freedom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbinE6bx8xM Edit: I GUESS you could roleplay a Dragon character more along the operative lines, playing up the "forget your own name, ultra zealot for the cause" angle but that's not really...something that would have much reason to interact with people so again, hard to roleplay. But again that's kind of a failing of MMORPG roleplay is you're trying to roleplay in a static environment, so you ultimately pretty much have nothing but "tavern RP" and if your concept doesn't support "tavern RP" it's a no go. Have I mentioned that MMORPG roleplaying is terrible? Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jul 3, 2013 |

Man, has Funcom let ArenaNet design these bosses? There's a lot of 0s on these HP bars, if we didn't have 400-odd folks at every instance they'd be a massive pain.

Nothing really good but eventually who knows. Gold coins are your funcom bux, you can use those to buy things and as a grandmaster you get a monthly stipend. You can use that to buy issues and pretty princess dressup stuff.
