http://forums.thesecretworld.com/showpost.php?p=1684616&postcount=61 I will push so many people under the bus if Funcom is willing to back this threat. Kind of curious how this pans out.

All my achievements and gear were done legit. Hooray for having the moral high ground! But my account is currently banned because Funcom suddenly decided my credit card wasn't good enough for them, so there's that I suppose.

I came in way too late to exploit the Lurker or get the Warchitect/Karma Curio, so it does kind of suck that the one thing I did get to do (and had a bit of fun with) got rolled back.

The name of the game has always been "exploit early, exploit often". Which, honestly, is one of th ose albatrosses it will never divest itself from.

Len posted:Just got an email for a new Golden Weekend. Riveting content. I want to be pissed that we're getting more awful loving golden robots, but that's clearly what this community wants. I've never seen a community be so consistently wrong about objectively bad design elements. From my perspective, there is quite simply no arguing the fact that the golem megabosses are bad. They're boring to fight, require (and get) a concentration of players so high that the framerate quite simply can't handle it, give completely random rewards so you can't even reliably get anything, and I'd say the worst part is that they stop you from actually playing the game. I remember the first time I met their precursors from the Mayan Apocalypse event, because this fuckoff-huge lagtastic megafight was right on top of my mission objective. I believe later the same day, one spawned directly on top of me while I was traveling through the zone on my way to another mission. And yet, no, somehow these are well-received. Despite every single part of the fight and the event being a horrible and unfun idea, directly spawned from a horrible decision. EDIT: I'm taking a break from the game right now to recover from RP, because it's hard to constantly roleplay a character with severe depression and no self-esteem. I kept wondering now that she's getting some time off, why is she still like that? It's clearly detrimental to both me and her, nobody likes it, and quite frankly things are going pretty well for her. ...But then stuff like this happens, and I realize that she continues to be like that because everyone around her is lovely and wrong and have bad opinions, and somehow the world bends to cater to them.

And yes the community is ecstatic from what I can tell. They're pumped for more AP (like it's hard to get to begin with  ) and more bags or whatever? I dunno. I could potentially see myself signing in to let pubbies kill golems for me if they drop augments randomly. But unless that happens I won't waste my time.

I was going to make a very encouraging post here and then I ran into the loving Padurii boss again. The last boss is what actually drops stuff now, and it's still a loving padurii and I have to do it with pubbies most of the time! They don't get "walk it away until the mote is about to move." They don't even get "pull the motes away." Jesus loving christ gently caress you game how was this boss a good idea

The Secret World: I was going to make a very encouraging post here and then Funcom So devs don't have to read and respond on their forums, but if they encounter negative comments, that's wasting their time. Also, I bet like not having to read their forums, their stance on game design is the same - they are working hard, but don't expect them to make the game mechanically good (and especially don't make posts about it!). orcane fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Nov 27, 2013 |

Don't let our butt hurt ramblings about a broken niche corner of unimportant gameplay deter you. If you have not finished the story or other single player content, chances are you wouldn't be disappointed by playing those.

I was just about to post and say how my first few days with this game have been fun  but now it sounds like everyone hates it! What's the story with this game then as we keep going? Is the endgame stuff bad? Is it just the leveling content that is fun? Does that even remain fun as get deeper? Anyway I'll probably buy it and I'm excited to keep exploring! Though these investigation missions are tough so I cheat. Don't tell anyone.

Gene Simmons posted:I was just about to post and say how my first few days with this game have been fun The main storyline and missions are great, and when they release new issues with new missions those are great too. The endgame, which used to just be Nightmare dungeons but which now includes the Scenario and Augment systems, are horribly designed and increasingly grindy and stupid. Do the fun parts, don't grind unless you hate yourself.

Gene Simmons posted:I was just about to post and say how my first few days with this game have been fun There's a contingent of long-time TSW goons who expect that Funcom will make compelling new content on their shoestring budget, despite zero evidence that would support this position. Funcom took the problem of "No endgame" and rectified it in a way they had the resources and leadership to implement: an endgame grind for skill modifiers. As TSW was originally touted to be "non-grindy" this of course wouldn't sit well with anyone who bought into the game when Funcom had actual staff and actual money. Several regulars from the Mumble server have recently said they are leaving due to their disappointment with 1.8, and they are venting their frustrations in here as well. tl;dr : there may be slightly fewer folks in mumble in the short term and it will be slightly more difficult to get Nightmare goon groups, especially ones where 4 other 10.4/5 players carry you through. Otherwise, the game is still good (even great in many places) but the end-game right now is a bit of a grind. If you enjoy what you've experienced so far, stick with it and get on mumble.
