I've tried this a few times but always seem to burn out in the blue mountain area. Would love to see what I've missed. I always kinda wish they'd release a single player rpg set in the world since the lore is so neat.

Is Africa that much more difficult than Tokyo? I've only done it on characters that had been spinning their wheels in dungeons for years so I've never gone straight through but having said that, it's not as if the content changes when you swap characters.

Huh, had no idea they actually added new content for once. That's nice.

The enemies (especially the bosses) are giant hp sponges compared to Tokyo.

Did they add more beyond South Africa?

I thought South Africa was alright but if you play through to South Africa you're probably already a bit too fond of the Secret World already.

As of right now it's still just South Africa busywork.

The desert is soooo much fun until you realize you're still there. I still hold that The Ankh is worth any pain, one of the best dungeons lore/fun wise out there.

The best part of The Ankh is when people who haven't turned off "double tap to dodge roll" yeet themselves off the bridge :allears:

Edit: I'm lying of course, the best part is Klein :v:

I used to play Secret World with my brother until Scorched Desert sapped his remaining willpower and I also gave up. Can't wait to see the next area.

Transylvania rocks at least! It has slightly more variety. The lore of City of the Sun God is fantastically sad and beautiful in a way but it is not a high quality zone.

Necroing the hell out of this thread, but it is quite telling that it died in the City of the Sun God. It is the shittiest (and the most depressing) part of the game and Funcom cramming the Solomon's ring DLC into the main quest didn't help any. If Mycroft finds it in him to power through this content, it gets better. Transylvania is a much better zone, than small detour into Venice and finally Tokyo which is also quite good IMO where you finally start to get some answers into WTF is going on.
