I can confirm it's a blacklisted character name dunno about cabals though. That required foresight I doubt they have

Are cabals based on faction? If so, are we going to all pile in one or will there be multiple faction-based cabals?

Never played before so I thought I would ask.

Cabals are now cross-faction. Funcompetence was blocked last time I tested it.

Also beta update just went live. Caches were nerfed for anyone under 50. Ghost was updated. And everyone that was in game before this phase got Patron status.

Edit: They have given Raging Shot for shotgun the worst loving sound effect. It sounds like a dog coughing.

Yay cross-faction. Boo name blocking!

Haven't played a FunCom game since Anarchy Online, and I was there for the "LoL Killer" Bloodline: Champions. Never did play TSW. From the sound of it, some things never change.

Didn't catch onto TSW until it became B2P, and a lot of folks were telling me not to bother at that point.

If you're a grandmaster in TSW it supposedly is, otherwise I'd imagine it's just a renamed subscription.

Correct. Everyone who is in this beta phase that was in previous phases gets Patron though.

Edit: Investigation missions now give bags that have vanity items in them. I've gotten shoes and an eye patch so far.

Who feels like seeing some crazy obsessive beta posts? Or maybe just one crazy post:

quote:

#1 Character creation: Alright Funcom, what's the deal. Why does a Templar character, which is from London, look asian. I don't care if you are an Asian Developer, or that 90%+ of all games come from Asia, at least make character creation realistic if you are going to have characters based in different regions of the world. The only Asian characters in this game should be Dragons...period. Plus, you did a reboot, yet the character creation got WORSE. It went full potato. The options for hair are atrocious. The faces are ridiculous. The fact that everything is Asian is just stupid, and the characters look the same, if not worse than TSW. Plus, you screwed up one of the greatest parts of TSW.
:sad:

quote:

#2 Class System: WTF! Part of what made TSW great was there was no classes and no leveling. Players loved that, and what did you do....you turned the skill system into some jacked up version of the "wheel" which was amazing, and you added leveling into the game. Now 80% of the quests that used to be there don't even show up until your a certain level. Why? This didn't need to be changed, the old system was perfect. If new players are too stupid to read the wheel system skills and figure out what goes good with what then they need to not play the game anyway. So many games screw up the games for their true players by catering to fucktards who have no common sense and no concept of how to actually play a game. Congratulations Funcom, you have now thrown your game into the trash and lost all the true TSW fans. Need an example of how badly you screwed up, look at what happened to Ultima Online and WoW. They sold out, started catering to noobs who don't understand how MMO's should work and don't want to work hard to earn their gear and places in raids.
:smugdon:

quote:

#3 New upgrade system: Okay, I actually was digging this new system. Until I realized a really major flaw with it. It, like the new class system/skill system caters to new players who don't want to work hard. The old system was perfect. You had to get purples from raids/dungeons/and quests, then farm...GRIND out the BB to get it upgrade, plus go farm glyphs and signets until you got the right one just to get the gear good enough. Now, everyone on their dog can get the same level of gear for absolutely no hard work whatsoever. You took the fun and satisfaction out of the game for those of us who worked hard to get our gear up to max and have the best glyphs and signets possible. Just like WoW, who now hands out epics/legendaries like candy to every player who logs in for an hour a week and has ruined the game for all the people who put hard work into getting geared enough to do normal raids just so they could spend months waiting for that perfect drop that would catapult them to heroic level and repeat.

So, if I'm understanding things correctly... current closed beta is just beta and will be wiped; actual game goes live on the 23rd?

The beta is still closed, not sure what distinction you're going for there. We don't know what time on the 23rd it goes live but there will be a wipe and probably some downtime before then.
