I don't know why, but I'm loving the little drone station in Agartha. These little guys are what allow us to remotely get our poo poo from the AH. Every few seconds one will fly out of its box in the Agartha tree. They make me smile.

There are no different servers for EU/US, right? And I would need to post my character name to get an invite to the goon chabal?

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
So at this point, if I'm mostly interested in story stuff, is there a compelling reason to play SWL, or should I keep plugging away at my original flavor TSW character? Things don't sound so great right now on the new version, and I was already in blues mountains.

I'm playing for the story too - I'm here because I'm going to want more story and SWL is the only place to get it. There isn't new content yet, but it's being planned/written so we may as well get comfortable in the new game.

That's pretty much how I feel about it too. I'll still keep playing my TSW characters, but I'll be considering my SWL character the 'trailblazer' so I have a better idea of how to do things in TSW.

i started a new dragon character, killed the gravekeeper in the little dream zone, picked up the lever he dropped & tried to put it on the door, and then the game overheated my laptop and forced it to shutdown. when I loaded it back up, I don't have a lever, it tells me to pick up the lever from the gravekeeper's body which is not there, and there's nothing else to do in the area!

i sure missed you, secret world :glomp:

Same thing happened to my computer during another part of the tutorial. I fixed it by running as far away from where the item was supposed to be (cell phone) and came back to it. If that didn't work, I would have had to do a day 1 support ticket. Good stuff funcom.

Here's some guild stuff to add to the op.

Playing with goons
We have a cross-faction cabal (guild) "Lowtax's Bees" (pending a vote for rename) for general shitposting, dungeon running, and erotic roleplay. You need to be online for an invite. Post your in-game username and someone will invite you. Everyone in the cabal (as of June) can invite, so it shouldn't be a long wait.

Speaking with goons
You can join our Discord channel/server/thing for out-of-game chat and VOIP so we can all hear your spergy voice and laugh at it.

Can Danith get an invite to the cabal?

Requesting an invite as Malrubius por favor.

Also, just how does one play the aurum market? Is it too late, or is there still some profit left?

If the guys who make Dark Souls went and released Dark Souls 4 and it was really dumbed down and easy then this is about how I feel currently with SWL.

It's the ultimate game for people who hated the original but for some reason still wanted to play it. If you actually enjoyed it... go elsewhere, SWL isn't for you.

I like how everything that I actually enjoyed about the bad original TSW has been removed to make this a better overall poo poo game.

Made the right call picking trickster to start with. Pretty sure I have no intention of changing weapons ever.

Wasn't convinced initially but the more I play the more I enjoy the combat changes & adjustments to the gameplay loop. Haven't gone hard at it though so I haven't seen the later grind yet.

The least they could have done was let us roll Phoenicians. The faction quests are out so they just needed to make a single opening cutscene and a tiny rear end hideout zone.

Edit: Doesn't the council of Venice woman in Egypt mention they operate out of the Library of Alexandria. gently caress I would have been sold.

Last night Aurum hit the 300 mark cap. For about 2 minutes it lasted and there was a nice 150+ mark gap between the buy orders and the sell orders. I took my meager starting wallet of 5k marks and turned it into 50k. And then the undercutting started:



I made my profit so I can't really complain, but :ughh:

Since you can only have a single character to start with: How does the initial class you choose matter? As far as I've understood, you get to choose any weapons you want later on? And ditto with faction, is it just for story elements now?

It's very expensive (i.e. time consuming) to level weapons now, so yes, you can choose other weapons later, but you're better off selecting something you actually want to play and sticking with it. Otherwise you're going to spend a lot of time grinding to be able to swap to something else.

I'm not sure if it's a glitch I'm having or not since I haven't bought anything in SWL, but when I logged in a bit ago, my character select screen said I had two more slots to use.

yep. same thing, had a nagging feeling I should maybe change chaos to blood but everything works well.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm actually enjoying the game, maybe because kingsmouth is so good and I wasn't here for a long time

E: what is it about shared world? weren't they supposed to instance it so you have 5-7 people online with you? I'm seeing dozens of dudes

E2: I just realized that Che who the Tokyo dude refers to is actually in Morningligh camp in Kinsmouth. All they need to do now is fix Adrian Zorlescu and it will be perfect

Are Cabals character based or account based? A bunch of friends want to start they own so I'd make an alt to be with them.

Apparently 10 million or something in funny money was created out of thin air because people in chat were talking about exploits, bans and economy patches right before a hotfix.

I'm trying not to be super angsty that of loving course at an unreasonable time I missed the chance to compete for money. Now it's going to be like TSW and the cheapest item is like 100k mof and the little people can get hosed.
