I would also love to try this game before I commit to buying it. Does anyone have a trial code they can spare? e- VVV Thank you Vorik fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Apr 15, 2014 |

It says a free year subscription though, does this mean that that ARG will require a sub fee?

I'm curious if the quality of a paid ARG will be noticably different from a free one. Sidenote: Hugh you should get on tonight so Sapefa and I can join the new cabal. IGNs are Sapefa and Velox.

I know it's an ARG and it's supposed to be mysterious and stuff, but they better drop some more details before they expect me to actually purchase it.

I bought this game on sale last year to try it out with a friend, an hour into it he decided that he hated it and I haven't touched it since. Giving it another go.  How populated are the servers right now, is the game still pretty active?

So I went ahead and got this game the other week through phoneSteam, not realizing I just got the base game. Should I just wait for the Massive edition to go on sale again?

Nah, a bunch of the Massive edition stuff is baked in now, namely the first four DLCs. The rest are cool, but not necessary until you've finished the story stuff anyway, so you may as well see if you like the game rather than dump more money on it. The rest of the free stuff is basically the usual collector's edition cruft and junk, i.e. the free potions and starter weapons that you'll be replacing quickly anyway.

Loving the game still, just started Transylvania. I'm stubbornly insisting on a blood/not-ele build for dps, which is going to be awkward - I might force myself to go AR-Blood for healing, because I really like leech healing in every game. Are there people on Mumble these days, or is the limited population on awfulchat as good as it gets?

The stat requirements for effective leech healing will make most of the blood abilities not worth the effort, outside of some gimmick fight requirements like HR6 for a cold blooded to help with life burn and Laughter House 4 to help with the insta-gib grenades. A common suggested pairing is AR/pistols for the support pistols brings like deadly aim and those healing boost clickies. I was doing an AR/ele leech so I could bring in short fuse and that passive that pushes it to 25%, plus totems so I can give people a damage boost with that skill level boost thing. I was also using the special Venice signet from Egpyt to give me 20% chance to gain a resource for the secondary weapon. I sure other people will have their own words to add to mine. As far as chat goes, mumble has been dead the past few weeks I have poked my head in. I still see some of the old regulars on Steam playing other things. So I guess #awful and pubbies are the hold over until Tokyo drops and goons come back for a month before leaving again.

Patch 1.9 is on Testlive now, but it's the boring not-Tokyo part. Apparently they're nerfing ele force and doing something with afflictions.

Glad I didn't reglyph around that. Here's hoping Affliction gets buffed even more.

Honestly, I'm okay with that. The current 'Ele force to 6, consumer 1, focus consumer 2' meta thing is really, really boring and it means I can go back to doing Pistol/Shotgun or AR/Shotgun and not feel bad about not taking Elemental Force. Also liking the changes to afflictions since maybe there'll be alternatives to straight raw damage now.

As someone completely incapable at making a decent build that doesn't center around afflictions, I approve of these changes.

I'm not a subscriber, so I can't go on testlive to check the impact of AEGIS on the actual game. A friend of mine is, though, so I'll have to find out from him how good the additional effects are: the 'don't even bother' of low-grade augments, the 'nice if you get it' of good augments/low-grade signets, or the 'get this and learn how to use it' of good signets/aux weapons/a decent passive. Also, evades are now going to actually appear in the combat log. I'm not sure how much this affects things, but I do know that a huge part of why evade tanks aren't well-liked is because their whole focus didn't turn up in the combat log, so you have no loving clue how good they actually are.

I'm pretty sure there isn't any real difference between defense and evade. I started loving around with it on live and didn't have any noticeable difference at staying alive. It would have been nice to have that raid bracelet that buffs evade though. gently caress you Cheston. You don't even tank.

Hey. gently caress all of you guys. Especially Cheston. "Oh only Roxor could use this? Well I'll roll on it too because I want it." And then goon raids stopped so giving me rights to the next one meant nothing! Edit: I love reading the patch notes after new content. Just fixes for poo poo that was broken on launch of the content.

I did a Flappy raid last night where the pubbies were arguing about whether or not EA was to blame for all the bugs and lovely ideas/content in TSW. It was magical.

Though EA has done some lovely things and Valve has done some nice ones. I don't think EA is EAvil or that Valve are gaming's saviors, but SimCity v. DotA2 for extreme arguments' sake.

How alive is this game anymore? I have a copy from ages ago, but I never got very far into it because of budget reasons. I hear there's no sub fee anymore, so I'm considering reinstalling.

Tokyo is supposedly soon which if that's true I would expect a returning population for a couple weeks. If you haven't done the main story and investigations though you should reinstall because those are good and worth the cost of admission.

I know I say a lot of negative things in this thread but the actual missions that come out are incredibly fun. Some of them are less amazing than other but the majority are winners and if you paid money for the base game you should definitely check them out. As for the DLC content, I haven't done the newest investigations but I like issue 7 the most. It continues the base story and leads right into Tokyo. Issue 6 kind of connects up revealing that Saiid was behind giving someone a bomb to blow up Tokyo. Issue 5 kind of wraps up the Solomon Island arc. Tldr; if you buy one DLC buy Issue 7 but ONLY after finishing the story.
