I read the "currently owns" part meaning people who played before the relaunch who are already used to weapon swapping. A little less re-grind. I don't think that should have a negative impact on new players.

Yeah, I mean, who knows, but it sounds like that just means that returning players won't have to start out with the just the one weapon you get from the training room or whatever.

Someone wrote up a summary of that Twitch stream with the Game Director on their forums. I didn't bother to listen to the whole stream but it reads like they have no idea what they're doing. Sure they have all these broad plans but the lack of actual details, a launch date and general :funcompetence: completely kills my interest. Also did Joel get demoted? quote:General edit: ^^^ Kegslayer fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Mar 31, 2017 |

So, has anyone gotten in the actual closed beta for SWL? Supposedly it started on the 28th, but I haven't heard from a single person in it. Edit: Some of those changes sound promising. One bit caught my eye though... Forum Summary posted:Cabals Amante fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Mar 31, 2017 |

All the way from Page 154:Len posted:
Holy poo poo Len, you called it. I just rushed through reading 60 pages (2 years!) of this thread because this news broke. Apparently, we've actually known about it for a month. I was extremely worried about what I would get if I ported my account over but the bullet-pointed lists on this page have really assuaged my concerns away. I know cosmetics were going to carry over but I have none. Instead, I spent money on various issues and was bummed that all that was going to be free by default and I was going to get hosed. Here's hoping they give something relatively comparable but :funcom:. If anything this has made me want to rush through the issues I have (I "just" finished the vanilla game content a few months back with the couple friends I play with) so that I can A) Get my money's worth, 2) See that content in the lovely way it was meant to be seen, and III) Get some sick cheevos/cosmetics that F2P players can't get! I'm actually extremely excited for this. It'll hopefully revive some numbers to the playerbase, I can hopefully talk several people I play games with online to join me in its relaunch, and I can finally switch my main from Templar to Illuminati because sincerely gently caress Sonnac. Also, playing everything over again will refresh me on the story since my group played each major area and then put the game down for months and forgot everything we did. I just hope this "saves" the game, I really want to see them make more content for this, it really is the best MMO I've ever played in my life. I look forward to the F2P release with cautious optimism.

Docahedron posted:Yeah ok. I'll believe it when I see it. I never messed with any items (buff items, crafting, etc) beyond "put better equipment in slot" until I was trying to prepare for Tokyo and just sort of arbitrary bought runes and glyphs that a friend told me to get. There's systems there that a player can get to, essentially, near-endgame without interacting with at all- and then when I do start to put together high level equipment it takes 4 minutes to just buy the items and shuffle them around without knowing any of the mechanics. That's kind of bad as heck. There's still all the weird 10.x itemization that get upgrades in all sorts of arcane ways and I don't understand any of it and don't think it's explicitly spelled out anywhere in the game. I mean, let's be clear: I never put a minute of effort into learning how crafting anything worked, but that's why the game's crafting is bad.

I cannot believe that real human beings with fully formed brains are engaging in an "endgame grind" on 2012 adobe flash based single player adventure game "the secret world." Additionally this reboot is an inspired idea and I am ultra hype that I can play this without having to try to convince myself that it's basically not worse gameplay than a point and click (and being wrong about that)

Capntastic posted:I was gonna mention that as the one actual time it was like "neat!" My main issue with it is you learn all the crafting combinations once in the police station and that's it, you've mastered crafting forever and ever, just use bigger kits. Then the whole thing becomes a game of upgrading materials and collecting them like a hoarder, and thank god you can make your own bags so you can pile all that garbage into a bag and leave it almost entirely off screen.

If the original writers are gone, it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a reboot much as I'd like to. I love TSW but the story and world and characters are the majority of why.

Pilchenstein posted:I don't know what the deal is with the writers but I've not noticed a decline across the issues, to be honest. Supposedly all of season 2 is already written too, they just haven't had the budget to make it. Ragnar wrote the original stuff plus I assume the first three story packs. Then he left to go do Dreamfall and left them with an outline of how the plot was going to go.

I bought this at launch, never made it very far, but I'd been considering coming back for a while but this announcement is kinda throwing me off. Is it worth coming back now, or should I just wait for TSWL? So torn, but I've been feeling in a very paranormal mood lately. Edit: Consensus seems to be wait for open beta. Hope it's soon!
