Worth noting is that this is the thread for the relaunch Secret World Legends which is similar but different from the one you would have paid for (probably) The Secret World. It has a lot more f2p trappings and I believe if you missed the migration period you have to give them real money to use more than two weapons edit: that spike is before south africa so i have no idea what it could be Len fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Sep 27, 2022 |

They must've read your post and fixed it by removing that part from the launcher splash. Len posted:

been playing this again and still love the drat game. its only been a few years since i did a full story playthrough, and still i ended up starting from the beginning to do it again. told myself "well, i at least don't need to sit and watch every cutscene and listen to every line of npc flavor dialogue, right?" and drat if that isn't exactly what i'm doing anyway. sure wish it were even remotely possible to do the dungeons while levelling though. managed to get groups for polaris and the first hell dungeon after something like a three hour wait in the queue, and nothing since then. "story mode" should really just be a solo affair at this point in the dead game's cycle.

You can do them solo if you out levels them by a little bit. Queue never will work, ask in #Sanctuary channel or in Agartha general, usually someone will help. /chat join #Sanctuary

They're making new secret world content! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-anvil-studios/the-secret-world/ Not for the game, though.

If they do what D&Destiny did and use the system as a base whilst changing a lot of things to suit, it'll be just fine.

They're headed for their third stretch goal already and it looks like all the expensive vanity tiers (get fan art of your character in the book etc) have sold out. The game always had die-hards with money to spend though, just never enough of them

Please note that if investing in tiers with printed items, you will have to pay "at-cost" to actually print things, it is not included in tier pricing, that just buys you a right to print if I understand it correctly.

Just gonna res this to say that I forgot how great the writing and atmosphere were in this game. The turd that is Redfall reminded me a lot about TSW so I jumped back in. Kinda pissed that they limited the old account import so I can't unlock all the weapons now and it looks like they've leaned pretty hard into nickel and diming players for every little thing which would be more tolerable if the game had any support at all or even a functional UI out of the box for high res monitors. It also crashes a lot. I'll see how long I can last until it pisses me off too much. For the time being it's fun and nostalgic enough to keep me playing. The loot drops are pure rear end, though and obviously tuned toward the aforementioned nickel and diming. I'm level 13 and haven't gotten a single upgrade to the gear I started with.

I haven't logged in in like a year but I vaguely remember upgrading equipment by opening the crafting menu and feeding it to existing equipment? Like there aren't a ton of straight upgrades outside of dungeons and stuff, you just feed weak gear to stronger gear to make it stronger I check the SWL website every few weeks to see if there's any updates, any at all, coming for the game and I leave disappointed every time

Ugh, why did this game have such good writing and such terrible terrible support. It could've been beautiful, it never would have been a star but it could've been our MMO Disco Elysium.

If you want a good system, Star Anvil is doing a KS for Secret World in Savage Worlds at the end of the month.

What's the best way to enjoy the story if you have never played before? I have an ancient account that has a game key for the OG TSW active on it, but it seems like everyone is playing the newer version?

If you just want to experience the story, Legends is the way to go. Free to play, much easier to pick up, no fumbling around with DLCs, etc. If you're a vintage MMO sicko who is interested in better gameplay (and ok with having almost no one to play it with) the original has a lot more charm. Either way, worth experiencing for the story and writing for sure. Investigation missions are pretty cool too, if that's your sort of thing.

So even on Legends it can take a while for dungeons to pop, which leads me to ask what level/etc. do I need to be able to solo the story mode ones? I just need the lore.
