Figured it out, forgot I had to go to a super obscure SPECIFIC login page for the old TSW. Used to be able to get there from multiple paths but now just seems to be one.

https://massivelyop.com/2020/07/14/tencent-now-completely-owns-funcom-purveyor-of-conan-exiles-and-secret-world-legends/ “Following the completion of the voluntary offer, Tencent became the owner of 77,365,864 shares in the company, representing approximately 95.11% of the shares and votes in the company,” Funcom posted to its shareholders. It went on to say that Tencent will be purchasing the remaining shares and delisting Funcom on the Oslo stock exchange. Nothing more to be said really.

The big balance patch arrives on tuesday  tl:dr notes here: https://forums.funcom.com/t/dungeon-and-raids-rebalance-september-29/139820 full notes here: https://forums.funcom.com/t/dungeon-and-raids-rebalance-full-patch-notes/139814 The full notes are 9000 words but there's some good stuff in there: Funcom posted:Made changes to reduce the chance of getting invisible Filth. This does not 100% resolve the problem, but makes it less likely to happen.  I joke but I'm actually pretty hyped to see player builds diversify from just "sustain tank" and "rifle/crystallised flame"

Hello Sailor posted:Only thing that will bring me back is new content. Yup. Secret World is too awesome to leave in maintenance mode, but it's not worth sticking around for if there's nothing new. Please get us to Congo so I can reinstall!

Somehow AoC is getting yet another (minor) content update, so Funcom hasn't fully gone maintenance mode on their MMOs. Maybe we'll get the Congo in the form of a horde mode scenario or two.

Is it possible to go full healer? I chose fist/blood magic as my class and I feel like I'm not healing enough, even in the starting zone with all the zombies. Is there a weapon combo where I'm doing viable healing but can still solo content?

You probably want to start out with the damage abilities for each weapon - dungeons below level 50 don't require roles because they're trivially easy. I think the first healing ability in the row heals for a big bonus when used on yourself, so the best bet is probably use your main hand for damage and save your off hand for just that heal and maybe a cleanse. Damage and healing can be done with pretty much one set of gear but you won't need to spec full healing until elites at 50.

Are healers viable again? Last time I dipped in the role I had gear for wasn't a thing anymore

Yes, that big patch we were all talking about a month ago rebalanced everything so healers are needed and there's more than one viable dps spec

Healers exist, dps specs are more varied, tanks no longer die instantly if they gently caress up their ability rotation by a second, loot from chests is free and dungeons are easier and give better loot so the gear grind is way less obnoxious. There's more (the notes for that patch were a mile or so long) but that's the main stuff

I will likely never play this again, I feel the rework of the mechanics ruined the game for me. Is there a cool place I can read the story? It was good but I never made it to Tokyo and it's been so long that I don't remember what happened at all in the game at this point. They found a thing and brought it back and some guy stabbed the planet and then she's flexible?

I was always hoping for a really thorough let's play. I made it through the original storyline up to Tokyo, but didn't do the dungeons beyond the first two. Then I came back and did part of Tokyo and got up to the part where you had to grind a bit to get access to the next part and fell off again. Then they reset everything with Legends and that was that. I liked it enough I intended to come back but never did.

Funny, I just finally uninstalled this yesterday after not playing it for over a year. It looks like South Africa really is the end of the game. Secret World did so much right, yet so much wrong. It had the best writing and the best cutscenes I've ever seen in a game. The dungeons were really well done. But some of the design decisions were just so loving bad.

What they done right is make lore so deep. It was interesting to ponder and old TSW lore subforum was full of insane conspiracy theories, cross-checks with the Bible, shumer myths, kabbalah, Dictionnaire Infernal etc. The most amazing part was that it was mostly worth it and offered a glimpse into what writers meant.

The only reason FFXIV is my favorite MMO instead of Secret World is because FFXIV keeps getting constant content updates. I will never love a dungeon the way I loved Ankh, though. It is the best MMORPG dungeon ever in the history of MMOs.

TSW's dungeons will always occupy a special place in my heart, even more so because of the goon NM runs back in the day (AKA the Klein Appreciation Station). Good times... miss that game and that crew  On that note, after coming back to SWL a few months ago post-patch I finally got around to finishing Tokyo after all these years. Thematically, it was everything it was hyped up to be and more. Loved it! Some bad news, though: FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH KLEIN, NOW JOHN IS MY BEST FRIEND.

I just came back to finish Tokyo and did it today. Is the South Africa any good? After the end of the Orochi skyscraper a cult camp in a desert is kinda bleh.

South Africa has a couple of neat moments, but for the most part it's just real perfunctory and feels tremendously unsatisfying because it has sort of a nonending that's more of a hook for additional content that will never, ever come.

Also, every South Africa boss has way more hp than it needs to, in lieu of being challenging in any way.
