I know folks are so-so about the relaunch, but here's a video of the new Combat system, and I'm actually a bit excited to play (as someone who never got out of Blue Mountain, to be fair): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgMWQ1tAJ_g

So, someone has never built an F2P game before, I guess. The whole point of the bigger packages is to offer a bit of a discount so that you're incentivized to buy the biggest one with the best value. This is...not that.

So here's a dumb question, as someone who only played a little bit of the original (and is kind of excited for the relaunch): The "weapon grind" past the first two starting weapons makes it sound like they'd rather you just roll a new character to experience a new class? If the game had launched from scratch using the new systems, wouldn't it just be a standard class-based MMO, with a (very difficult) opportunity to cross-class via a grind? Is there any reason not to just roll a new character in order to play a new class rather than force yourself through that grind? I get (and agree) that this is a completely lovely change compared to what it once was, but as someone who barely played the old version, I'm not sure I understand how this is any different from a standard MMO where you can't cross-class spec.

Lawlicaust posted:2 reason: 1) Each weapon has passives and a capstone in the active tree you unlock that have Stat boosts. A character with multiple weapons maxed will be significantly stronger. 2) You get 1 character slot. Every additional slot costs money. Well. gently caress. (Thanks!)

I thought existing accounts got all weapons unlocked? All my pages say they need to be purchased, and I did the account transfer yesterday

M_Sinistrari posted:I'm not sure if it's a glitch I'm having or not since I haven't bought anything in SWL, but when I logged in a bit ago, my character select screen said I had two more slots to use. https://secretworldlegends.com/news/producers-blog-head-start/ quote:As an additional bonus for the TSW Legacy Transfer system we will be giving out 2 free character slots for everyone that links their SWL account to a valid TSW account. This bonus will only be available during the Legacy Transfer window (ends in August). Please be aware that you cannot have more than 8 character slots on an account!

M_Sinistrari posted:The only reason I've got the three characters in TSW was for the separate faction stuff. Since from what I've seen, stuff like the faction quests are gone so why bother with multiple characters especially if you've found a weapon set that you like and works well for you. No idea. I'd say it's for those who want to 'skip the grind', but these slots are literally only given to people who also get every class unlocked.

https://secretworldlegends.com/news/hotfix-june-25-2017-downtime/quote:As you may have noticed the servers have been down for most of today. I apologize for the extended downtime. Early today we discovered an error that caused the Exchange to break which made quite an impact on the game. When you log in you will find that your character’s Aurum has been reverted to the amount it was at before this occurred. Any valid purchase of Aurum made after this point will also be applied. Marks of Favour / Cache Keys will be also be reset for some players that used the Exchange after it was broken. We have also banned a large number of players that took advantage of the broken Exchange. Sure am glad I didn't find out about the exploit until it was over.

Inverted Sphere posted:Fair enough! So how bad does the grind end up getting, since I noticed the OP mentioning that you pretty much need to pick two weapons and stick with them and if you wanna play with other weapons, you basically have to start paying real cash or taking an alt through the story? That feels like that adds a lot of pressure to not just pick starting weapons willy-nilly. The character creation screen is literally 'pick a class' now. So pick one that sounds cool, and if you don't like it, delete and pick another. No different than any other MMO in that regard (other than having a single character slot... so decide early.)

Double AP/SP gains for Patron is actually really really good. I would consider subbing just for that if it's a blanket "double XP" bonus.

Bruceski posted:Phrases I never used before Secret World: "I thought the Latin was spelled wrong on purpose as part of the puzzle, it took me three tries of the "right" answer before I tried the one they actually gave me." Jumping off the bottom puts you on top? How the gently caress were you supposed to know that from the VO? I kept looking up expecting some magical rope to appear or something.
