HughGRect posted:/camp or /quit both still work if you fall off the honeycomb. I have also heard that if you complete a path without stepping on the honeycomb it counts towards the final path to the letter without advancing the scene (so you can fall without going to the burning house). I will test the second theory when the mission is off cooldown again. I can confirm this, it's how I did it. Learned the trick from a person's YouTube video. When you see the final platform on any given path form, turn around and go back down. As long as you don't step on the final honeycomb platform, falling will just put you back on the central honeycomb, so you can take your time and get them all without stressing. Highly recommended.

Can we please get enough people on Wednesday to do the raid? I joined a pubbie group and it was so disorganized I left before we even pulled the trash mobs.

Looks like new clothes Tuesday favors the ladies over the fellas. Dudes get some jeans with a skull and cross bones belt buckle, ladies get more dresses.

Jesus even without trying to find bugs I found them. The codes for the ingame shirts from welovefine are in the item shop to redeem. But not under "claim items". They're tucked away in the jackets and shirts section for some dumb gently caress reason. Edit: Looks what's finally live!  But in true Funcompetence, don't wear it with a jacket.

Oh hey, a year later and cabals are being fleshed out finally. The different tiers of membership in cabals can be named whatever, and permissions given to whoever the gently caress wants them. Something about logs working now for bank withdrawals as well now. Only thing worth talking about? Can give more people the ability to invite.

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Windows 7. Praying that this buggy abortion of a still somehow fun game will run without crashing every 10-20 minutes now. There might just be life left in this ol' Space Fixer yet...

Looks like Hugh was right about next month's item: Got this from an email telling me they're doing a 50% discount on memberships bought in the last week of August, which I guess is their response to FF14 coming out. Zephonith fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Aug 22, 2013 |

Who else is expecting TSW to be a bit of a ghost town for the next few weeks? All hail our new moogle overlords. Also, just a reminder, I will not be able to make the raid Sunday or Wednesday, I have switch shifts at work for a week to help work on some international bullshite.

Update on Janos Draogani! After much effort (and finding a geometry glitch in the mission that can get you stuck), I have managed to get the achievement. Here's what I learned from the experience: it is indeed doable in a group and dying does NOT disqualify you from the achievement (at least as long as one of the party members stays alive).

The thing is, how much of a dent in other communities did FFXIV make the first time it released? I certainly didn't see a whole lot of anything there on City of Heroes, which I think I was still playing at the time.

Independent of what the playerbase as a whole is doing, a lot of the active TSW goons are playing FF, so our corner of the Secret World will be quieter.

Well, the first time it was released it was pretty awful, and apparently now it's pretty good, so it's not really comparable.

So for $15 bucks, I decided to give this a try. Played a couple weekends in beta, but didn't have the time or interest to pay $50 at launch. I've been playing it for a while today, and I've finished this 60 point 'starter build' - http://wordpress.tswguides.com/my-first-60-aoe-and-survival-healing-with-bladear/ My question though - is there a good 'newbie guide' reference to help me move forward from here? Things like where should I prioritize my skill points - weapon offense/defense vs. talismans. How to move forward with abilities, and what I should be looking for in gear. I've been disassembling everything, but even doing that 100% of the time, the best stuff I can make in my tool-box crafting is worse than the random QL2 and QL3 drops/rewards I've gotten in every slot, and I've only got enough of the level 1 metal to make 3 of the next level, so it seems fairly impossible to ever be able to craft something useful at this point. I did the /chat join goons, but have never seen any chat, but I may have missed some.

I don't really suggest crafting until you hit end game and even then that's just for your end game glyphs. Crafting in the rest of the game is pretty much made obsolete the second you start running dungeons/doing quests. The goon chat channel is /chat join awful but there really isn't much traffic there. Most of us congregate on mumble. And no you don't need a mic to go there and get our attention for things but it certainly does help.

Square made a pretty vocal mea culpa over it. I'm not going to compare them in terms of content or gameplay, but I think it's fair enough to compare them in terms of potential community, both within the game and its impact on other MMOs. It's 'the same game, but good this time', so it's going to attract the same group. Probably for longer this time, but I think it's fair to estimate the relaunch's impact with the information we have on when it launched the first time.

The Locator posted:So for $15 bucks, I decided to give this a try. Played a couple weekends in beta, but didn't have the time or interest to pay $50 at launch. I don't think there are any newbie guides outside the OP made by goons, the official game forums might have something hidden in that sea of filth. But I will answer your questions: The first 60 builds are a neat idea, but dated, the abilities have changed to much. We can help you with that if you run into issues with that blade/ar build. I believe the best way to spend SP is to initially get your primary weapon to 5, talismans to 2 and keep your secondary weapon as close to the primary after you level everything else. The reasoning I'd that you can get a nice QL 6 weapon for the sequins you earn doing missions (30 I believe). Then with talismans at 2 you can wear anything that drops in Kingsmouth and the Polaris dungeon. As you progress through Savage Coast and Blue Mountain keep raising your Talismans to wear the drops. If you don't mind cheesing content we can always run you (or any undergeared goon) through all the elite dungeons for a nice chunk of xp and Blue ql 10 gear. Sell weapons whole, they are worth more then what you could sell the metal for. Keep some leaching potions for oh poo poo moments. Disassemble everything else and either vendor the crafting runes or sell them on the auction house. There is nothing worth crafting the game until you hit the end game grind. If you need a piece of gear upgraded check the auction house can usually find a full set for pretty cheap. I believe the game is mostly empty of goons for the moment with the lack of new repeatable content and FF 14 launch weekend. Did you look in chat join awful or goon, we hide in awful. You can type /chat list awful to see if anyone is there. Mumble has been pretty dead for the same reasons.

Thanks, that is just the sort of guidance I was looking for. I already restarted as a blade/fist build, I just wasn't getting the timing on blade/ar, although having ranged was nice for pulls. My new character is already better than the old one, and I'll take your advice on the crafting (i.e. not). I didn't even know there was an AH.  Thanks for the guidance on skills as well, I'll work on pushing the blade skill up, as that's my main weapon. I did join awful, I just typed goons for some reason in my post. Didn't know about the /chat list command, that's useful.

Once you know what you're doing re: quests it's relatively quick and easy to try a new play style on an alt, you can get a functional narrow-specced character to the end of the Polaris dungeon in about 2 hours, including the dungeon run, while having enough XP to grab skills on your second ring. Edit: If you play at weird times, stick me on your friends list. IGN iDread

The Locator posted:I already restarted as a blade/fist build, If you have already restarted, its one thing, but there is really never a need to make a new character (beyond seeing the other order's flavor, or maybe PvP). It always takes the same amount of XP to get an AP/SP point. Since any existing character has better access to quests that give higher xp, an existing character is in a better place to start two weapons from scratch than a new character is.

I guess due to the mechanics of this game that makes sense to just re-do your existing character. I'll switch back just because of the better gear I guess, even if I did pick a dumb nickname because I had no idea that it was your nickname that is actually your character name in game. Then again, all my MMO characters have dumb unimaginative games, so it fits right in.
