Then you're missing out because the dungeons are fun and have story.

Polaris: Ties into the story of Solomon Islands and what happened after the Vikings rolled up to beat up the Mayans...bad things

Hell Raised: Part one of the three part liberation of Hell

Darkness War: A dream quest about the time the Mayans invaded in an effort to release The Dreamers

Ankh: An ancient ruin full of mummies, filth, and Orochi

Hell Fallen: Part two of the liberation of Hell also the weakest dungeon IMO

The Facility: An old Cold War bunker where the Soviets tried and succeeded to create a Star Child

Hell Eternal: The last part of the liberation of Hell

Slaughterhouse: A Soviet research facility where they tried to make super soldiers with vampire DNA

The raids only one has any story at all and it's not very good.


What was the tokyo one..

Aegis Dungeon (Orochi tower?): Rampage through an orochi tower and stop John (Filth) from getting at teddy bear chick. Teddy bear chick reveals she can "heal" tokyo somehow using a music box.

I fell out of actively playing between Tokyo expansions, so I never got to do that one. :(

I understand you also get angel wings at some point? :sigh:

Angel wings are great. The wings you get are based off the decisions you made in the story. If you sided with the filth, remained neutral, or listened to Gaia

Getting them is even cooler. Pretty much you are after Lillith who is camped up in the impenetrable orochi tower. So what do you do? You Team up with everyone in tokyo, including JOHN avatar of the filth. You do some things outside the tower and then John brings the towers power out, lighting up the windows to spell out "COME ON IN CHUCK". Then you , demons, samurai and yakuza storm the tower and face lilith. Then you fight lilith and John distracts her by talking and then David Camerons Deus Ex Machina comes down and imprisions her

Say what you will about the game, but the story certainly has some great moments.. Surrounded by the shity Aegis system.

Also if they don't keep the call back to the tutorial I will be angry.

It was some crazy girl in the Lumies guild that talked about keeping cold beers in her vagina on mumble.

I would like to think that the Templars being drama free had something to do with my fantastic leadership. Although Lawlicaust you got some real loving winners over there with Canadian oil magnates to "check your pronouns genderfluid" fun. It was fitting that the Illuminati was a bunch of raving lunatics and the Templars were swirling fine scotch in the sitting room saying "Yes. Quite.". The Dragon all quit after they got their opening scene blow job.

This seems to be the major problem: Argatha cashes, sprints, inventory upgrades, etc. Having the option to still do these things with aurum is fine, but players having to basically click a "I don't want to spend money rn" button every turn is what makes people so angry about the whole thing.

I think you hit the nail on the head. So many times you get the F2P monetization pushed into your face and you have to push it aside.

Any idea why this is greyed out?



The catalyst says it's usable in place of a maximum epic quality or lower talisman when performing fusion. I was not actually planning to fuse with that catalyst since it's better used for epic to mythic but I am curious about why it doesn't work.

Are you lvl 50? At lvl 50 you can start fusing blues into purples i believe.

I'm a blade main right now, have spent no points on elemental secondary. Was thinking of switching ele for shotgun. That way I have a long range for the game proper and could switch to main shotgun for tanking. Are there any recommended abilities to get first for shotgun with a tanking build in mind? Would it be necessary to ALSO build up on hammer and chaos?

Sorry for all the questions but you seem like you know the meta pretty well.

Reinforced Rockets and the Rocket Pod are a good combo, it gives you a lot of protection off of a 3 energy ability

The main thing I got from the road map is that they will make this even more like a mobile game with the "agent" system. I'm sure they'll release a companion app with it too so you can send your agents on missions from your phone. And probably find a way to sell you agent boosters and agent mission reducers, etc.

But hey, if it keeps really lovely monetization out of the main game, I'd be all for it.

I don't think funcom has the development time to make a mobile app. I think it'll look like the squadron system from FFXIV and WOW

Since I'm not particularly liking Egypt so far, I figured I'll just tear through the story quest to get it over and done with. Well, apparently the Black Sun Red Sand questline got some major changes so at this point any of the walkthroughs or hint sites are outdated. Does anyone know of where there might be something more updated or I just accept I'm going to be stuck in this cellar for a while?

If you're posting anything related to the story, maybe add spoiler tags? Hopefully there will be new players coming in to the game and even stuff that seems mundane of unimportant part of the story might be a bit of a spoke for someone. It's not like this game had anything but story going for it, so let's at least make that worthwhile.

Patch for tommorrow is hopefully for Shambala to fix the raid exploit.

Hey I'm on a bit of a horror kick recently, it it worth playing this game?

Its free to play so give it a shot. Ignore anything to do with doing dungeon runs or cash boxes and you will avoid the worst of the monetization.

The game has a very good story that dives into the occult, it skirts some horror things but due to being an MMO it can't give you many shock scares.

Unrelated, but is there any particular "best" way to get anima shares? I'm at the point where I'm actually running out. Should I only be fusing with poo poo that gives the 2.5x bonus?

So it looks as if outlevelling content means being unable to complete missions. I had the 'reasonable man' quest and hadn't gotten round to it (am also going slow), I'm about 25, the 'gutted fishermen' that drop the flares are level 18 so they're giving 1 shard and 8xp, which also means they don't drop the flares you need to loot to complete the quest.

Funcom strikes again

Pause the quest (drop it) and then pick it up again.

The gap between elite 1 and 2 seems annoyingly huge. I started tanking e1 over the weekend with a bearscore of 80 and it was pretty OK. Now I'm at 140 and all it does is become slightly less worrisome that a heart will ignore me for a few seconds while I wait to painfully gear up to 250.

I'd like to see some cabal runs starting up on elites and lairs soon. Do we know what a real baseline item level is for running them? I see ridiculous numbers in lfg but that's not useful at all.

I'm down for elite runs but i play PST, it never seems to sync up that goons want to run elites when I am able to.

Since they mention UTA there is a bit of tokyo content in there

After reading through it ALL the tokyo content is there, so watch out for spoilers.

I've had a few super bad runs as well. People are just poo poo.

What time zone are you playing in? We've seen some elite runs yesterday/today during most of the day, but if you're in eurotime or something, it might be harder. I think some people are just leveling casually or going f2p so it's slower to build gear.

Please, people, we need more healers. So many healers.

I've had the exact opposite experience and the PUGS ive found are fun. Its a quick 15-30 minute run in an elite.

Also I apologize to everyone today for my dungeon runs where my internet crashed, TSW crashed with a black screen and a run where I had to bail on the final boss fight due to work.

On a scale of "you needed bother with money" to "kick you in the nuts every five seconds telling you to subscribe", how does the F2P look for this game? Some friends and I are looking at it for our weekly hangout sessions.

You might hit the level cap in the story quest and have to do an extra mission or two but thats about it. There is a blue weapon and glyph requirement in egypt but by then you should have that and if you dont just ask goons for help
