here is my theory on this patch business week one, make it lovely so people who can't control their wallets throw money at game week two, make it slightly less lovely so people who hated the first week are more likely to be thankful and throw money at screen

Thanks. The patcher is ridiculously inaccurate at estimating size remaining.

I did the link-redeem thing on the site but a friend is saying I also need to download the game and play it to get the weapons/character slots/cosmetic unlocks. I'd rather wait for the Steam release to see if this gets un-hosed but I can't afford to miss this poo poo. Anyone have confirmation?

AFAIK you simply need to have an account with a TSW key for it to work in SWL. You login to SWL with the same credentials so it should work fine.

If bandwidth isn't an issue you might want to just hop in once to make a character in case they gently caress up and give out free stuff again.

What counts as a "Main Quest" for the challenge log thing? Seems arbitrary what gets counted and what doesn't.

Main quests are the red main missions or (I think) yellow sabotage missions. Not sure what the investigation missions count as. Also, dungeons count as main missions which is loving awesome.

If it doesn't have the little side mission green icon, it's a Main.

Do multiple alacrity weapons stack? I feel like this game's easy enough that +5% against an enemy below 10% health or whatever is less valuable than annoying people by zooming around in fights.

Do weapons have to be the same type (i.e. Shotgun of Restoration Mk 1 and Shotgun of Restoration Mk 1) to be combined, or will any old shotgun do?

ANy old. You really want to have a 3 star as the main by the time you raise to purple though.

You need to play and get to the first zone (kingsmouth) to be able to claim the items. There is a time limit for when you can link the accounts, but I don't know if you're only "safe" after you claim the items to your characters. Anyway, don't quote me on this but I heard the limit is in August.

I was having an okay time with this game until I realized contacts were level limited. I dunno, maybe it opens up later, but being shuttled around to each contact in kingsmouth one at a time infuriates me, and I'm not sure why. I guess it's another loss of choice on top of the rest. edit: yegods posted:Even the skill system is better, since it is not made for sperglords. I could never make heads or tails of the old skill system, and had to look up a "proper" build on the internet -- not a great thing to have to do. It's you. You're the lowest common denominator developers are talking about when they simplify for "accessibility." You are the reason everything ends up like yet another warcraft clone. You honestly couldn't understand the skill system? really? You're not just being hyperbolic? Are you just trolling? It was literally "mash a key until you build up a resource and then hit the ability that uses the resource." With the added complexity of "some weapons can use the status effects other weapons generate for additional bonuses." I'm not a big fan of number crunchy theory-craft and optimal builds and poo poo, I tend towards "abilities that do cool things" rather than worry too much about whether or not my build is achieving maximum dps- but even I managed to figure out the loving skill wheel.

I'm also one of those who gets put off completely when the hard sperg numbercrunching comes out. I will admit that the skill wheel along with knowing there's no traditional leveling is overwhelming at first. But there were deck build guidelines right there and while some of those might not be great, they were still at least something to work off of to get an idea of how the wheel worked. If my usually clueless rear end could figure it out pretty quick, anyone can figure it out.

Kingsmouth is more restrict on quests. You can't do Kings many of the quests in Kingsmouth until you progress through the story. The same goes of any mission later on that is required for the story. The first time you do it has to be when the story wants you to.

That being said, i'm actually enjoying the story so dont mind. Event he dungeons are ok, though the limit of 10 keys per day sucks balls. Are the dungeon loots worth it? I have a tailsman from both the 1st and 2nd, (and a weapon from the 1st i cant use) should i bother to lvl them up? Been rocking pistols and shotgun, and pulling aggro from tanks in dungeons. I seriously think im still using only the starter skills too.

Dungeons won't be worth it until after the patch on the 5th. The patch fixes a lot of the issues with Dungeon xp and loot. Depending on the affixed and pips on the loot, they might be good. The weapons are generally good (assuming they don't have a complete poo poo affix) and some of the talismans are very good.
