This is absolutely hilarious if true, apparently a streamer streamed himself doing the raid EXP exploit and hasn't been touched.

Clearly, Big Streaming has a hand in this. Funcom really needs the potential revenue from some neckbeard's 50 viewers.

All the bugs and bullshit aside, doing TSW's dungeons with the old goon crew was the most fun I ever had with group content in a MMO, and that's as someone who raided in other games for years.

Part of me is still hoping we can get some version of that old group back together...


I have been Tanking Elilte 1 Dungeons so if you need a tank you can message me "Drinkfist" in game if I am online. You can also find me in my natural habitat in "The Angry Dome" in CTS2.0 mumble. I am not going to be joining the goon guild because Nixon named it "Make Agartha Great Again" and anyone who enjoys that name can go beat the dead horse in a corner on reddit somewhere. Also Nixon cant get a grip and I dislike him. Also Discord is for children and "children enthusiasts".

That group went through many stages. I probably can't get back to having time for a game for another few months at least.

Where are Kilsion and Zephonith?

I spoke to Killson a few days ago and he said the FF14 tentacles have got him hard. There is a slight chance we could convince/trick him that this bad game is still fun.

How many people who built the Dreamworld engine still work in a significant role at Funcom? Are they really so short on cash that it's less painful to integrate an aging engine nobody understands with a modern engine instead of just doing everything in the new engine?

Its free to play so give it a shot. Ignore anything to do with doing dungeon runs or cash boxes and you will avoid the worst of the monetization.

The game has a very good story that dives into the occult, it skirts some horror things but due to being an MMO it can't give you many shock scares.

The game features three different regions each with a different horror/occult themed tone.

The first area is probably the most fleshed out and it's some straight up Stephen King poo poo. Set in Maine it features: zombies, a boarding school with not-Carrie, the League of Monster Slayers (think The Losers), not-Stephen King and some other cool poo poo I don't want to spoil.

The second is Egypt and it's more of a pulpy Raiders if the Lost Ark setting with you going in and out of tombs, fighting mummies, retrieving artifacts all that fun stuff.

The third and as of right now final zone is Transylvania where the vampires are currently on a crusade to murder everyone. It's got the classic things that go bump in the night: vampires, werewolves, communists, vampire communists.

You can't claim until you reach the kingsmouth portal in agartha. Claim it from the tsw vanity button in the item claim window. Make sure you're logging in with your old credentials.

The revenant from the shadow-bound weapons gets targeted by some things. The first boss in The Ankh for example puts an aoe effect on a random party member and if a revenant is out when it does that there is a chance it will be targeted. Anything with a "targets random party member" attack can probably hit those things instead. Not sure if it's worth seriously pursuing this as a strategy because even with a full group using shadow-bound stuff you still won't get 100% revenant uptime but it's amusing.

Just like your posting.
The game sucks worse now, I swear I never had any issues in classic and now a ton of bugs are popping up. Also I can't hit the basic vampires in the last zone for poo poo which is super odd since I rarely if ever miss anything else, even other vampires but the basic dudes three out of four hits will either glance or they evade which makes doing the last hand full of quests I have open super tedious.

If you log in to https://account.secretworldlegends.com do you see this screen:



Or is there a 'link TSW account' or something similar under account services? You have to click that button. If the button isn't there (like in screenshot) then you've either linked it and somehow are bugged, or you're not using the same credentials.

Happens in every MMO. Popular streamers might get a slap on the wrist (if anything) for things that get other people banned.

If you're playing it you're doing it wrong. What you do is after you finish all the daily challenges queue into it, die, and play something else in the background. You get all the rewards with none of the work.

Yeah, although, frankly, less people than ever will complain or do it because the XP awards for Investigation, compared to what they used to be like, are so paltry. It's really weird to me that they cut into them so deeply given that Investigation takes easily three times as much time and effort as most of the normal fetch quests and only a few of the handful I've looked at so far have any sort of interesting bag reward. Real bummer.
