The best TSW moves were in order

black hole
Eruption
That hammer move that makes you big

Black hole was great because it's visual effect was based on the size of the model. Cast it on a golem in a golem event? Big circle

Eruption because you could launch anything* into the air. Fuckin nerd golem

Hammer move get big because it was fun to just get big


*As long as they weren't on an incline. The column didn't go up or down slopes just straight

Is this a game worth playing if you play mostly solo and want to experience the story?

Definitely. If you like modern Lovecraftian horror it's great. Do the dungeons once to get the lore because they're all great

Given the "5E compatible" on the mockup cover art, unfortunately yes.

They understandably went with 5e since that's what's popular but there's hope it'll get converted to a good system like PBTA

Don't forget in the original game when issue 6 dropped and the game just broke for a couple months. That was when we lost a bunch of the goon crew since they just couldn't even launch the game anymore.

They had Veteran Points for a couple months which were supposed to be a currency you got for having a sub and would give you exclusive access to even more costumes

Also don't forget that every outfit in the shop had to be unlocked account wide not once but twice if you wanted to have both male and female characters

I just want a MMO with a modern setting to come out and not immediately die. Everything about the setting of TSW/SWL is very much my jam

Fantasy settings are probably the most boring settings imaginable and that's what the majority of MMOs use

Aux weapons were such a disappointment. I joined just after the quantum brace (?) was added and it sounded like a cool concept and looked cool but was very specifically a healing weapon and a complete trap that early in my TSW career when AP still mattered. And the terrible balance just meant every tank used chainsaw, every DPS used rocket launcher.

could you even do facility nightmare without the rocket jump?

I have a dream that if this shuts down they'll do a matrix online style end event.

But that would require a budget

Golems, imo.

Or Super Jack-o-Lantern.

Bring back the harbingers, only I don't think the new system can properly handle that

Also put they should harbinger that uses Wayebxuls model in savage coast. The thing flying over an amusement park was part of the launch trailer and on the back of the retail box yet when they had him wandering the world it was in one of the Transylvania zones

As someone who's played an unreasonable number of MMOs, no game has dungeons as good as Secret World.

i keep asking things like "does this fight have mechanics?" and the answer has always been "no"

even polaris, babys first dungeon, had mechanics in the fights

also there's a story behind the dungeon other than "hey so there's some bad guys in here and they look pretty much like very other thing in the dungeon go kill them i guess"

FFXIV dungeons probably come closest to Secret World dungeons in that most of them tie into the main story and bosses have mechanics but they're still not nearly as cool. The Ankh will forever be my favorite dungeon, period, and all the Hell Dungeons and the Facility hold a special place in my heart.

Hell fallen is the only dungeon I remember hating

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
