Oh, and for the Anniversary Event, anyone who has ever played a Funcom title can play TSW for free (w/o client purchase) for a week. Regarding the bosses...what I'm interested in is why we're supposed to "bring down" the Guardians of Gaia. I'm just hoping the world won't be as borked as with the Winter event.

...so, did anyone manage to get the Vampires Aren't Forever achievement from killing Janos Dragosani in 5 minutes? If so, anyone have suggestions? Its not a matter of being able to kill him (since I can do that well enough - and quickly enough if I didn't get killed first), as much as connection errors (losing connection to server), getting glitched inside a wall, getting stuck on geometry (not being able to jump over a railing or move across the floor), or lagging and I get hit with an invisible clotting mire. I don't even know what to do anymore. Is there any way to make this quicker and easier? Waiting 3 days every single bloody time is getting really, really old.

Indeed - getting to Janos has not been a problem. Nor has killing him if everything goes well - but something always seems to glitch (as a note, I use a sword/ele build for soloing, so I have purges and flicker available to me anyway + Exposed to kill him quicker). You would recommend the whip w/debuff as aux weapon though? Hmm, maybe I'll try that. Either that, or I'd be willing to work with someone on it and kill him together.

I figured that when I saw the mission pop up. But while the devs may have said one thing, people have been reporting that they are indeed getting the achievement in groups, so, eh. Hmm, maybe Anima Charge would be helpful. Can the dot be cleansed, BTW?

Update on Janos Draogani! After much effort (and finding a geometry glitch in the mission that can get you stuck), I have managed to get the achievement. Here's what I learned from the experience: it is indeed doable in a group and dying does NOT disqualify you from the achievement (at least as long as one of the party members stays alive).

Zephonith posted:Nah, Marya Fighter or something, from the little barricade near the trucks between the two outposts. I think it might have been something buggy with the flamethrower, because I was setting a whole bunch of cultists on fire in that area earlier. She was showing up as Friendly so I couldn't offensive target her, but she kept hitting me with her shotgun so I had to run away till she stopped chasing me. There are times when using AOE skills will aggros the friendlies in Egypt. I've seen this happen when using Stunning Swirl to intervene in a melee between the Maryas and Atenists near the East camp.

Kumo posted:I'm talking about Offensive/Defensive stats like Hit, Evade, Defence, etc. Are there some that I should try to put more or less points in because some are more or less useful? Or should I just try to put a bunch in everything in trying to create a well-rounded character? Well, given your specialty, your most important stats are probably Penetration, Block, and Hit, with some for Magical/Physical Protection. Many of your abilities in those weapon trees will proc off of Penetrations, after all - and as a tank, you do NOT want to receive a bad penetrating hit. Block counters Penetration Defense counters Hit Glance/Evade tanks don't work all that well in late game, due to the spike damage you may receive - its usually better to be able to control the amount of damage you're getting so the healer isn't *too* stressed. quote:Also, how do you contact goons in game? I've tried the /join awful chat a number of times, but no one seems to be on when I'm playing. Have you tried using the Mumble? A number of goons hang out there.

Couple quick things - there's going to be a new persistent ARG, if all goes well. This one will touch on events prior to those of TSW, though: http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/03/27/chaos-theory-grand-plans-for-the-secret-worlds-black-watchmen/ There was a mini-ARG these last two weeks called Division66, a prequel to this, though it just ended tonight.

Blood and Elementalism can be a very viable endgame build, and should give you some range, since a number of those mobs hit pretty drat hard. Afflicts work nicely in Tokyo - just be sure not to pull too many things with your chain abilities.

Like guppy said, you don't absolutely have to (and there are elite versions for when you are at QL10 - and even Nightmare versions for when you've beaten all the elites), but they are nice for the story. Compared to dungeons from many games, a lot less trash and better design (with the exception of a few unfortunate glitches every once in a while)

Not a bad choice. Do pick up the Hammer passive Cal, Cool and a collected - it synergizes well with Elementalisms crits! Also if you want a third weapon, which you may want for later, Fist is good too, as it also synergizes well with crits.

Bombogenesis posted:Solved all of my Blue Mountain problems by basically totally changing up my build. Switched from fist/blood to fist/chaos using the Executioner deck as a framework and now I'm pretty easily tearing things apart. The one issue I'm having is a lack of AoE damage but I do enough single target that it doesn't seem to be a huge issue. Feels like I need a stupid amount of hit to keep it going though later down the line, though. Any feed back is much appreciated. I'd like to finish the storyline before Funcom winds up collapsing after their next project blows up terribly. Made some edits to what you have. Hopefully they help - applying Exposed is always useful if you have Chaos, and who doesn't like a bit of DOT?

Just thought you'd all like to know. The Enhanced Player Experience pack is now available to existing accounts. Just login on the portal, go to Account Offers and Upgrades, and choose The Secret World - Enhanced Player Experience Pack (still $20). TL;DR: Issues 5-8 for $20 if returning player, or TSW + 5-8 for $20 if new player. alfheimwanderer fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Mar 23, 2015 |
