Spend 500 aurum to make your agent return sooner!
Spend 1000 aurum to unlock a new agent!
Spend 2500 aurum to increase rewards x2 for 30 days!

Patrons, go gently caress yourself nothing for you because we have to continue spiting the lifetimes every chance we get.

And then they only need a couple paragraphs for quest completion text. Boom Johnny the Intern you just earned a free lunch

For basically any video game, if you ask "why don't you just", the answer is "the cost of producing what you want is several orders of magnitude more expensive to produce than they thing that you're getting."

The fun missions for you will be coming when we release the new zone, "an empty field in kansas filled with zombies".

That actually makes a lot of sense. They hired the old writer, right? So, here we go, he'll get cracking writing debriefing blurbs which is like the best (for Funcom) of both worlds, mission rewards + mission debrief without having to make any characters or missions. If you squint your eyes just right, this is almost like new content!

Arguably a better remake? But I think it's still missing Tokyo dungeons and three regular dungeons.

Hey, want to see some of my lame marketing ideas?

NEW ZONE is on the way, and I'm slowly eliminating possible locations for it.

You can see what countries are NOT the new zone here:

I never moved over after TSW became SWL, just kind of stopped playing. Lately though I've been craving to immerse myself in that amazing game again, should I even bother trying with SWL? Or should I just go back to TSW or not bother at all because it's dead? :(

I like the originals opening with the two forces or whatever on the cosmic shore. That poo poo got cut down bad in the new one, but there's YouTube for that. Also all the freaking clothes unlocks from classes that aren't in the new one. I'd only make the jump after new story content is out if you enjoy how the original plays.

I know that I obviously have a bias towards the new game, but I honestly enjoy the combat in SWL more than TSW. I seriously couldn't make myself finish even Savage Coast in the original game because I found it tedious, but I like fighting things in SWL.

Some people feel the opposite, but actually they're wrong and my subjective experience is the correct one

One of my friends gave up on the original in Savage Coast too, after the incident :v:

I liked the combat in TSW but I definitely prefer the combat in SWL.

If you enjoy TSW just move over to SWL as it has the same story, and it stands a chance of getting new content at some point (maybe soon). I had lots of moments of where I remembered how good the story actually was when I played through it again in SWL. There were plenty of quests and cut scenes that I just plain forgot (and others that I wish I could...).

I had to laugh when I saw the video. I never had that happen to me in the original, but it happened to me in SWL when I was just kind of napping through a mission and thought I could mindlessly kill everything.

SWL also has all the issues for free, so if you never got around to buying them switching over is a no-brainer imo

I never could manage to have the patience to get past Savage Coast with TSW either despite many tries, but when I played SWL I enjoyed it enough to get all the way up to halfway through Tokyo. I burned out on the grind to upgrade gear but I think that's been toned down a bit since last year?

I do wish it were easier to build up multiple weapon skills in the new game. Sometimes I just get tired of shooting people with my rifle. :saddowns:

I agree with this and making it easier to change weapons is something we're looking at. No ETA on that, though.

When that's something people have been complaining about since loving beta that's kind on whoever worked out the core gameplay loop and decided to see how much money they could squeeze out of players.

Heck, in the first game, I had to switch to new weapons once I got to Tokyo. I got my rear end kicked so badly, I may not have made it out of the park for a week before finally giving in and getting a sword-based build. :)

Uh, what did you guys do with the launcher? It is stuck in the "unpacking" phase. It moves a few kb, than estimated time goes to 99 hours, than it "unpacks" a few more kb.

Hey all, as some folks have picked up on by now, folks are logging into Agartha with a character that appears as Level 1 with nothing on them. Please do not be alarmed--nothing is actually gone in our database, so you've not actually lost anything. For now, we suggest just getting out of Agartha and wait for the all-clear from us. Sorry for the trouble!

It was literally an overloading of the live database due to increased player activity in Agartha. We could have had QA on it for 6 months and they wouldn't have found this.
