Already fucked

Y E S S S

Probabaly, but we'll still play it.

What's that? They're doing something new with The Secret World?

A more story-focused action RPG take on it, using Agartha as the meet-up hub and outer locations are instanced to your group.

They are going the A Realm Reborn route

?

But it's just a large patch, not something entirely new, right? This actually sounds nice. Maybe I'll finally be able to convince my broke ass friends to play it with me so I won't have to group with some random Germans

TSW is being placed on life support with no more updates, while SWL is the main platform.

Not sure on how they're going to sustain it if any future issues are going to be free.

I hope they allow players to transfer cosmetics they gained in game and not just the store. Spent way too much time hoarding all my shit just to have to get it again

When is this happening anyways?

Beta started last night so who knows

Will they make /bestgirl/ even cuter tho

So they will be making entirely new story for this, right? I hope so since,I stil haven't finished Solomon Island and don't want to start it all over again with my friends lured by f2p

No, it's the same story. They've put too many hours into it to just can the whole thing.

I still think Solomon Island is the best part, too. Egypt was okay but a complete slog, Transylvania is fucking comfy though.

Did any of you got in? how is it?

It's not like they can fuck it up worse than the original game.

What a load of barely playable horseshit that was.

Everybody new to it thinks that, but once you get a proper build going that synergises well with all your skills, it's perfectly serviceable.

The real pain is trying to find a group to do the normal dungeons while still in the early game, I've been in queues for up to six hours before it pops.

I mean, combat is shit, but I really dig the atmosphere, the exploration is very enjoyable and it has probably the best dialogues and (some) quests out of all MMOs out there, so I suffer through it.

I only played through the first zone before dropping it so maybe you're right and it gets better later on, but for a game that's 90% combat it's really inexcusable to have generic tab-targeting combat that's somehow even less responsive than normal tab-targeting MMOs.

Is Said /ourguy/

the combat and the different builds isnt bad

it's the shit culture from world of warcraft where any kind of depth = bad. "wat do u mean I cant just shoot ice bolts???"

remember star wars galaxies pre-world of warcraft? now that was a good MMO. then they did their patch and forever ruined it. now funcom is ruining TSW.

>the combat and the different builds isnt bad

>it's the shit culture from world of warcraft where any kind of depth = bad.

I guess that's why everyone shits on the combat and praises the depth of the missions and the story.

The combat is utterly terrible. The systems are fine but it plays like ass.

An effort was made with the combat, but it IS bad. Much as I love the rest of the game so far.

Templars is the best faction, Dragon has the best female outfits though.

>They're gonna fuck it up, aren't they

I'm going to play it.

You have to fucking deal with it.

Healing in this game was so fun for me, best healing system i've played in any mmo.

I'm hyped, hope I get into the beta.

Templars are best, but it's really a shame that other factions Hubs aren't as fleshed out as London.

>wat do u mean I cant just shoot ice bolts???

I never saw shit like this ingame, then again I treat TSW as a Single Player more than a Multiplayer game.

I'm gonna play it, too. If an invite hits me.
Chances aren't bad, they send out new invites every day and expand the potential list of invites every week for server stress testing.

Can you somehow register for beta, or are they sending invites randomly? Or only for subscribers?

That, and Sonnac is unexpectedly pretty bro-tier.
Spend a little time in Kingsmouth proper after a sale, and you'll see a lot of whinging.

sweet, would love to see some SW threads again, it was comfy af back when we all tried the ARG together.

They also set this to the fucking homepage in the in-game browser, with no easy access to a search bar. Driving me up the wall.

>and you'll see a lot of whinging.

Really?

I never saw any whining, like at all.

Sweet, thanks.
I rarely use ingame browser anyway since it's pretty uncomfortable to use compared to a proper one. And alt-tabing in and out of game only takes like one second, so whatever.

Anyone in the Beta? Hows the "new" combat?

>LETS DO A F2P
>BUT INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE UPDATED COMBAT, GRAPHICS, XP SYSTEM AND STREAMLINED CORE SYSTEMS (LIKE US DROPPING THE AEGIS SYSTEM FROM TOKYO AND SHIT) IN THE GAME AND JUST RELAUNCHING IT
>WE'RE GONNA LAUNCH A /SECOND/ VERSION OF THE GAME
>CONTENT WISE, ITS THE SAME EXACT FUCKING GAME
>NO ONE CAN TRANSFER CHARACTERS
>NO ONE CAN TRANSFER ITEMS
>NO ONE CAN TRANSFER CONTENT
>EVERYONE IS AT LVL 1 AND HAS TO BUY ALL ISSUES AGAIN
>ALL FUTURE CONTENT WILL COME TO TO LEGENDS ONLY
>BUT DONT WORRY GUYS! THE OLD TSW WILL STILL BE RUNNING ALONG SIDE THE EXACT SAME (ABIT UPDATED) GAME, SO WE TECHNICALLY DIDNT STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!
They already fucked it up and its just announced.
Whoever OK'd this should have been beaten as soon as it left his mouth.

I can not fathom why they thought this was a good fucking idea.

>>EVERYONE IS AT LVL 1 AND HAS TO BUY ALL ISSUES AGAIN
Didn't they already say that all current issues are free, but going to be released over time?

Nope. Its going to launch with all issues, but only 1-5 will be free. Same as last time.

Yeah it's bullshit that they're keeping the original game online. It just costs them money and splits the playerbase in half since many players will not want to abandon their characters.

They really need to shut the old servers down the same time the new game goes live, to ensure that the new game at least has a chance of surviving with a decent amount of players.

Well, if it's literally the same as TSW but with updated core systems I'm not bothered. I kept holding off on buying the new issues because fucking hell it's expensive.

Hmhmm...

Funcom also said tokyo would be 1 issue and the core part would be free.

Funcom also sold a complete tokyo pack and said the fall of tokyo would complete the tokyo expansion. 2 months later they released a new tokyo issue and told the complete tokyo owners "too bad"

Funcom says a lot of things.

I dont see why they cant just update the game and go forward. we dont need 2 separate games and 2 separate communities.

>Funcom says a lot of things.
I'd still trust their official announcement over the completely unfounded words of a random nigger on Sup Forums though.

i still had a lot of funcom currency (forgot what its called) for their cashshop, but i've not played in a very long time.

any chance that is still around waiting for me?

They're probably trying to attract as many new players as they can, pretending they're doing something almost completely new when in reality they could have just made a major patch out of it.

It probably does, why would it get deleted?

want an example of a recent lie? fine.
They LITERALLY said conan exiles was running on 2 engines. Unreal 4 for graphics and physics only, and the ENTIRE BACKEND system was their MMO engine. Turns out their engine is literally a 45kb plugin so they can claim it, despite the entire game being unreal 4.

Lies upon lies man. Its all funcom does.

It'll still be there, but I'd get to spending it if you want to swap to SWL. Cosmetic purchases will be carried over.

You have no proof of your claim whatsoever and demand that I take your word for it that their official announcement is a lie.

The burden of proof is on you. Just saying "b-but they lied before" isn't proof. After all, Anonymous morons have lied a lot more before, so that only works against you.

Either present proof of your claim or stop whining about shit that obviously and demonstrably isn't true.

thank you sir will do

wasnt sure is all, it has been over two years since i logged in (friends ditched me and it was hard to play solo at times)

I dont think ive seen someone shill so fucking hard for known liars before. This is some ubisoft levels of shit here

So, taking the deity's bargain does nothing, right?

Anyone in beta?

>tfw friends went back to TSW and grinded all the way to 10.9
>asked me to join
>said nah ill wait for this spring announcement
>Its a whole new game that will start you at level 1 again
>tfw didnt waste my time

So its basically making The Secret World single player and improving combat?

Sounds good. The Secret World's setting / lore / quest types (excluding stealth ones...investigation ones could be annoying but were still great) were fucking awesome with meh combat. Was also more into it for the story anyway

Not entirely singleplayer, but more or less improving the singleplayer option. When people still played, you'd often reach your quest target to find someone just about done with killing it.

Its gonna be more like warframe in a sense that youre solo storywise, you group up with few other people for important stuff, and theres hubs where you can see others.

It's a new game in itself. You can have old tsw and new tsw installed on your pc. The release won't affect your progress or the world in old tsw.

its just old tsw won't have any updates I believe

Its a new engine and new combat new leveling system new UI. The only thing staying the same is the story and zones. The old TSW will be in maintenance mode, meaning its not gonna go away but it wont get any content updates.
