Honestly, I think this will probably end up being a fine relaunch. There's some annoying choices they've made with progression and monetization but they will probably be fine once you get through the story once. Whether I play long-term depends on whether 1) the endgame isn't super limited by the monetization or 2) there is a sub which removes a lot of the bullshit limits. Once the next phase hits with hopefully all the major changes final I'll make a new op with all the info. Also, send me a PM on here if you want an invite to the beta cabal. It's cross-faction.

One of the UI devs broke the code of silence and started responding to feedback. Maybe we can hope for small things.

Assuming cabals still work how they did would you be able to check if you can force reset the ranks? In the old game if you changed the government type it would reset everyone who wasn't you to the lowest rank. I posted about it on the exploit forums and was told there was no intention to fix it. Wondering if they bothered

They seem to have made no cabal changes other than cross-faction so far. Once I get some people in, I'll test it.

Does it still have the fun feature where it just keeps downloading well after 100%?

I didn't see that, and am not using Steam. The Funcom patcher is lovely as gently caress.

Nothing too cool from the latest patch and live stream. We definitely have the mobile gaming system of 2x maxed greens = 1 blue, 2x blue = 1 purple, etc. There will be more rarities added so the grind can continue. Maybe that replaces aegis weapons... Buffs and debuffs are just going to be hard to read since the dev solution is to hit alt and mouse over them. Weapon molds (cosmetics) are coming back but as part of some bigger system so we don't know what form they will take. Probably from the cash shop.

That's going to be awesome when you're in a dungeon and get a debuff that kills you in seconds in you don't react immediately

Someone asked on the stream and the answer was just "duh, just hit alt and mouse over, it's fine!" They did say that buffs will be simplified a bit to remove some things like skill buffs you get from doing a thing where you just assume you have the buff running all the time and things of that sort.

The girl is, I think, just a gm they pulled in to have a girl in the room for the twitch viewers. I'd love for then to have an actual dev lead show up and give some info at one point, but they're probably busy driving the game as deep into the earth's mantle as possible.

NM are post-launch content. The higher-level dungeons are a clusterfuck right now for targeting aND managing mechanics. Going to be quite an experience when/if we get NM. We're 1 month out and here's what's not in that are reasonably supposed to be in launch:

There's just really no way they're gonna be able to keep that launch date and push out half of what they've promised in a playable state. The Funcom Questionable Decision Train continues to run.

Delaying the Steam version is basically the same as delaying the whole thing. They'll get a limited set if non-steam user to open beta with from June until July and then release a hopefully more polished product to Steam. It's a way to still meet the unrealistic goal they set without poisoning the well too bad.

You know what never made sense to me? They have a firm belief of "no missable content ever" to the point the 2012 Mayan End of Days is repeatable yet they never brought back the Halloween 2012 cat contest

Why would they not just delay the whole launch? Funcom makes no sense with the decisions they keep making here.

To use the sad pathetic people who are still playing TSW to test SWL (off steam) without tainting the population at large with a broken game. But who am I kidding, it will be broken regardless.

I wonder what Funcom will do when the Steam reviews are mean. They can't really ban Steam users for being negative or censor their posts.

I just want to see all the TSW steam players form a "boycott TSW Legends" group then all play it anyway like the COD:MW2 people did.

I have no idea why Funcom are trying to claim this is anything other than a content patch for the existing game, there's literally nothing new aside from the forced reticle poo poo and how skills work. Ps: the reticle combat is really not fun.

Not true. They also added a traditional level system and level gated content so now you have to more or less drain zones before you can continue the story

Harrow posted:Wait but why Real Answer: To modify their game to appeal to new comers and make things more generic so that new players can follow along. The aim of the relaunch is to attract new players to the game, even at the cost of alienating our older players. Also funcom are not smart (TM) Hot take answer: They are dumbing down their game for the casuals and funcom are idiots.
