Has Funcom talked about their roadmap for this yet?

Jfc the hype train has left the station. A lot of that is existing content (Tokyo, raids, lair bosses) but still, secret agent snowmobile chases? And this part:


quote:

Explore the dark corners of Agartha and meet some of its oldest residents. Push forward against dangerous enemies and collect great rewards.

Now that you’ve been going up through the ranks of your faction, it is time to get yourself a team of rookie agents and send them on adventures of their own.

As a results of the events that ended at the top of the Orochi Tower, continue the main story mission and follow up on a lead which will send you on your way to a brand new country.

Also, just got my key for the arg weapons.

E: not to fellate them too hard, but funcom said we'd get a road map by the end of the week and they did it. Good job.

Heh, well the roadmap is what we have in TSW right now (looking forward to see how they fail Haloween somehow) except for the last part (end of 17/beginning 18) and frankly didn't beleive a single word of what they wrote there :D At least not at the listed date.

When it comes to watchmen hoodies and assorted other goodies for the Funcompetent game The Secret World

There's probably a cutoff and the access codes are shutoff though you can surely try if you are bleak and bored

The main thing I got from the road map is that they will make this even more like a mobile game with the "agent" system. I'm sure they'll release a companion app with it too so you can send your agents on missions from your phone. And probably find a way to sell you agent boosters and agent mission reducers, etc.

But hey, if it keeps really lovely monetization out of the main game, I'd be all for it.

I don't think funcom has the development time to make a mobile app. I think it'll look like the squadron system from FFXIV and WOW

I think it will look like those as well, I just wouldn't be surprised if they put it in mobile as well.

I'm a bit iffy on the weapons too for my main since at this point she's packing better save for the Revenant thing. Anyone know offhand if the ARG weapons can be upgraded like the rest or no?

Hmmm. So how would it work with the specialty power if anyone knows that yet? Because I'd be all for pumping up my Of Destruction pistols to also be able to proc out a Revenant on occasion.

Space Skeleton

Without actually doing the math I guess the theory would be for bossfights the revenant proc should add up to a good chunk of extra damage over time. The questions would be: How much damage does it do at the different quality levels? Can it glance? Can it crit? Does it your use stats for those kinds of things or is it an autohit that can't glance or crit?

It appears to summon an actual creature you can target which then winds up and smacks your target so I guess maybe it does not use your stats at all and I hope it autohits without being able to glance.

It procs basically on cooldown if you're using any multihit abilities so it's very reliable at least.

Granted that I still have my ARG weapons in the waiting to be claimed window and haven't really looked them over, when I look at this pic:



It looks like it attaches on a weapon's appellation. Am I misinterpreting it or no one knows yet?

I guess someone's hosting a community TSW board and there's a busy theorycrafting thread over there: https://www.swl-forums.com/index.php/topic,411.0.html

most important takeaway I saw is that you want to start out with two hit glyphs, one three-pip and one two, and then in the end merging those into one top-grade hit will be enough for all content. I'm thinking it oughta go on a minor? the value of a glyph's bonuses doesn't vary by major/minor/head anymore and that will be the least opportunity cost-y to keep wearing when tanking or leech healing [if that's even still a thing]

long-term it appears everyone wants to wear 100% only their own stat, dps or tank or heal, tanks and healers aren't as mixy as they used to be unless doing content they outgear

A big hit every ~15 seconds using all your own stats could potentially be really good for any fight going long enough to proc it a few times. Sounds promising.

Easy way to tell is to go to Shambala and check if the damage changes.
