Len posted:Well they did add the third tier raid boss didn't they? I never did those because gently caress that poo poo. I remember being a very under geared player with trash equipment being carried in many lair boss kills by kind goons. There was gently caress all useful loot that dropped. Rather a turn off so yes, they definitely needed to do something with lair content.

Ah. They probably have some replacement content but it's still conceptual and won't be ready for launch because Funcom is super tight on resources & development time. Just a guess. I'd be happy with a bunch more Dreamfall/Longest Journey references. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 13:30 on May 30, 2017 |

Lawlicaust posted:They've been steadily adding more each phase do the are a decent number of faces now. Females have some good ones. Males not as much especially with how bad beards currently look. Well guess I'm making a Zoe then. Probably wouldn't get Kian's face tattoos right anyway. Kingsmouth and the rest of the island were my favorite zones in the original game with perhaps the exception of the Orochi Tower itself. Loved that place.

Just patiently waiting for the re-launch now. Will buy a sub so I can get that 3rd age power armor costume to wear in the story missions. (assuming that's still in the sub rewards anyway)

Holy poo poo. I just realized I don't even remember where I got my mining helmet in TSW. The mines on Soloman Island or some place in the Egypt city maybe? Well I suppose that apart from a couple missions it's not going to be a big deal. Definitely a big deal in those Roman ruins beneath London though.

Not that fussed, I'll get in whenever. ^ Also yes.

Definitely sounds like the relaunch is happening too soon. Even if things work on a technical level you can't have a good game without tuning the game play & progression.

Lawlicaust posted:Some people on the beta forums did the math for time required to max weapons in SWL. 160 AP not counting capstones. 30k per AP. At a rate of 8 Carpathian Fangs missions that reward around 8k each, it will take 7 months per weapon to max each new weapons actives. Passives take a little longer. You know what? I'm thinking I might give it a couple weeks after launch before I jump in. Just to see if they tune things a bit.

Lawlicaust posted:The only pro I currently see to jumping in a launch is to be able to manipulate the Marks -> Aurum Exchange to make a bunch of Aurum/Marks before it gets too expensive and while people are dumb. That depends on a lot of things though including people actually shelling out money for this garbage which is a big if right now. I was ready to jump in at launch but if the core game play loop is that hosed, forget it. It's not like I'm playing actively now. I'm happy to wait and see.

Amante posted:Surprisingly, Funcom has gotten several rounds of funding from venture capitalists recently... not that it shows in SWL. They're smart enough to only invest in things that make money. Hopefully it's being spent on worthwhile things like more Conan and/or Dreamfall. Sad about TSW being in this state - abandoned limbo or a half stillborn reboot. I guess that's just how things go though. DancingShade fucked around with this message at 08:36 on Jun 16, 2017 |

This has nothing to do with TSW I just think it's awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaeFgSR_DMU However it could easily be TSW if that was the Orochi 950 kitchen appliance.

We can just pretend that roast bird was actually crafted from the "special meat source" in Orochi Tower. It's a real shame that location is so endgame because there are a lot of great things going on inside it that I think a lot of players never saw.

Still can't play because I didn't log on for too long, thus I have to wait for general release. But I didn't log on because I was waiting for a new expansion and then the relaunch  ^ That sucks. I reckon they did something Funcom-like and made it such that the reserved names won't kick in until the 26th or so.

Made the right call picking trickster to start with. Pretty sure I have no intention of changing weapons ever. Wasn't convinced initially but the more I play the more I enjoy the combat changes & adjustments to the gameplay loop. Haven't gone hard at it though so I haven't seen the later grind yet.

Also I could be wrong but I think I could only claim all my Old TSW cosmetics and stuff around the same time I met Boone at the Kingsmouth entrance. Can't go back and check how I did it, just remember going "what do these buttons I can't access do?" for a while at first.

Hell if I know. I don't even know how to rotate the cylinders in my magic pistols. The game did explain them to me at some point but can I find that explanation again? Nope.

Sjonkel posted:If I want to be able to heal dungeons, which weapons should I choose? I started a trickster and liking it so far, but there doesn't seem to be any healing skills for pistols. Should I just buy/pick up a different weapon that would work better? There is a healing skill in the middle active tree. It's more a team support heal though. (unless I'm mixing up the trees from memory and its some passive, but there is definitely a heal in there somewhere)

Just thinking. So I didn't buy lifetime in TSW back in the day nor did I buy a sub in Legends. I did play a lot on the first couple days when I had time and basically did everything possible in Kingsmouth & most of Sword Coast. That got me level 20 gear in every slot, blue pistols and a blue belt. Everything was fine. Problem is then I was faced with needing extra level 20 gear to blue the rest of my stuff so without pushing forward into higher level content with slog fights I needed to repeat missions for the rewards in order to upgrade compatible trash to level 20. Ok that's fine, I get it. Missions instead of using (apparently non existent) trash loot. Except the mission cool downs are still things like 72 hours or so. I haven't bothered to log in the past couple days because I was waiting for everything to come off timers. Obviously if you have an active sub you can repeat whatever you like after 8 hours so you can basically consume content as much as you like. I'm not sure I feel positive about the new player experience past the first couple days unless they are super casual and don't hit that "well now what?" point when the time gate kicks in.

A. Beaverhausen posted:If anything but "half baked" comes to mind when you're playing you're giving funcom far too much credit. What do you mean sticking around? I enjoyed my first couple days of SWL a lot. Lots of fun. But now I have experienced the new game play loop I don't really have much motivation to push on because I played all the later zone missions so many times already. Once some new content comes out in a year or three I'll care more. (insert what new content lol post here)

Morglon posted:Honestly I've played the original and I've never had any of the problems I'm having now. Also I'm really loving tempted to just get my own cabal for the extra bank space because the size of your inventory is just insultingly small. It's particularly obnoxious when you lose a dozen inventory slots to quest items. Later on when you're trying to level up duplicates of every single item equipped I can see those 25 base inventory slots being comically inadequate.

Mandatory viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiEKJ0_K9nY I have 529 hours in Old TSW and I really want Legends to reinvigorate new player interest otherwise it's just going to be a game in stasis again. But I have to agree with everything being said in that video.
