The setting isn't my thing but all I really care about is gameplay.

Name your current weapon loadout.

>>180760524
I am almost out of the first area.
I guess if they wipe i'll go with illuminati so i can have the slut as my boss.

>>180761023
>The setting isn't my thing but all I really care about is gameplay
Boy, you are in for disappointments. This game is all setting, all quests, all atmosphere. Combat is now good, and originally the community is very mature, after tomorrow, probably not so much. But this is not the game to go for purely for gameplay.

Pistols with shotgun used only for healing. Much pewpews, seemingly good DPS.

>tfw you remembered about it 7 hours ago and couldn't even download the game or link your account

>>180761023
The strongest part of SWL is the setting and the atmosphere, so I'm not going to lie; if you are not into the setting, you won't enjoy the gameplay either.

>>180761106
Gunslinger. Thinking of switching the shotgun for some melee weapon maybe.

>>180761106
I haven't even started playing yet.
Game went down right as I quit earlier after changing options before starting to play. Th-thanks Funcom.

>>180761023
>The setting isn't my thing but all I really care about is gameplay.
The puzzle gameplay is pretty good but the combat is only ok.If you are not interested in the world this is not a game for you and you are an idiot.When it comes to world building this is one of the best MMOs for it.

>>180761275
>one of the best MMOs for it
If not THE best, even.

Templars are hardly /pol/

The black dude you meet at the beginning basically downplays the god part of it so it can be more inclusive.

Illuminati is /x/ (references to government black ops programs), Dragon is /pol/ (chaos stuff, kek before it got played out), Templar can be whatever since it is the most normal.

>>180763068
>Illuminati is /x/
Nah Memeluminati is /b/

>>180762674
Can't you still use them as appearance molds for better equipment?

>>180763182
Anything is /b/ or reddit if you call it a meme.

>>180763068
Lol it doesn't have anything to do with "being more inclusive".

>>180762651
>>180762807
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus ?

>>180763412
It's not white nationalist nor is the main focus about fighting for good and instead it's about fighting evil and maintaining order. None of these relate to /pol/ at all.

>>180763567
I was talking about the god part.

>>180763531
I was right, that is Rasalhague.

>>180761106

>>180763940
>keep your eyes on the brightest

anon...

>>180763940
Because Ophiucus is the constellation but Rasalhague is the star that shines brightest of all stars in the constellation.

>>180763940
Rasalhague shines on the picture.
Now I am almost out of "charges" and trying to unlock the pistols, how do I do this shit? Not sure I got any clues, nor do I know what happens when I run out of charges.

In retrospect, it does exist to serve the "Church," but those quotes are where my line of thought came from.

Nothing happens when you run out of energy. The red lights indicate you have some of the right symbols, although according to some other folks having red lights just means you have the correct symbols, not the correct order.

https://forums.thesecretworld.com/showthread.php?99164-New-SWL-ARG-Started-by-Black-Watchmen!/page41 Here are the solutions for the weapons. Still unsure how they solved them apart from trial and error.

>>180764141
Red means 1 right symbol in right position.white means 1 right symbol in wrong position.blank means 1 wrong symbol. Symbols can be used multiple times. The color Indicator position is unrelated to its corresponding symnol's position

>>180761106
Using Blade as primary, not decided on secondary yet.

I used to have Blade+Fist as my main solo setup in TSW but none of the old synergies exist anymore so I'm not sure where to go.

>>180764141
The combination for pistols is 1 , 2 , 4 , 3 , 2, clockwise, starting from top.

is there a guild or anything?

>>180761106
Shotgun and Hammer after restarting from my Warlock. AR felt like such crap when I used it.

I really don't feel like I need to use my hammer, ever.

>>180764202
>In retrospect, it does exist to serve the "Church," but those quotes are where my line of thought came from.

Nononononono... Knights Templars was just an experiment by the templar organisation into having a public face. Experiment that got shut down hard when Illuminati plotted the downfall of Knights Templar.

Not got round to playing yet, but considering hammer/fist or hammer/shotgun.

>>180765189
it's one word, not in plural you have it in your post

>>180764304
Finding out how many of each symbol the combination has was easy as just going through each symbol, putting it in 5 times, and then marking down how many red Xs you get per symbol. Then you just had to brute force a combination from the 120 (max for 5 different symbols) possible combinations.

>>180765406
Was afraid to do it, as there were charges to choose from, and was not sure what the penalty was.

Nah, each weapon has one combination.

This thread is going to die before the maintenance end, Mark my word.

>>180766393
can we at least get a cabal going? I'd like to do dungeons when they're still level appropriate.

hey just started downloading
ive never seen this game before
what am i in for? how unique is it? if i invest time into it, will i be rewarded? im a long-time mmo vet and ive played everything from wow to the most obscure f2p korean/japanese mmo

im thinking of going punisher or mercenary. are those good picks?


will we have some sort of group going?

Can you only get one weapon from that ARG?

So whats the difference between the Legends and Classic?
The launcher has both available down at the bottom.

>>180766541
/vg/ guilds always end up in drama, I feel a chat channel to be a more promising start.
Though, if a cabal is made, I will consider joining it, if nothing else, people playing this game are of the more mature kind most of the time.

>>180766656
Classic is dead, and Legends is classic + all DLC issues and a new, way better, combat system.

>>180766609
You're in for the best story/atmosphere/setting in a MMO. Quests are the strength of SWL.

>>180766642
You can get every weapon once per account.

>>180766656
Classic is in maintenance mode, and will not get any more updates. Classic has more complex skill system, maybe even overtly complicated.

>>180766807
thanks didnt know, last time i even looked at this game was years 4+ i think ago and did the free trial setup, i liked it a lot but the big price tag threw me off

I hope they put back in dungeon loot drops, or atleast a small chance to get something from the bosses. 10(18) *dungeon* keys for a chance at distellates is kinda retarded. There is no point or fun factor in running a dungeon at this point once you use up all the keys.

>>180766393
I'm surprised it even has a thread

>>180766657

also is there any trininty at all

>>180767243

>>180767376

try again in 60mins (unless more delays)

Its fun as duck. Don't like how they locked trading behind paywall tho

>>180767376
There is at max level. Hard mode dungeons will require a tank and a healer.

>>180767376
Currently in extended downtime.
Yes, there is absolutely holy trinity. Weapons like Assault Rifle, fist, blood magic, etc. have heal trees (leech, direct heal+hot, absorb shields and some heal), not sure if there are now more. Initial dungeons are in story mode, so a walk in the park, but nightmare mode, if it was like in TSW, will make you sweat.

>>180767559
alright thanks

>>180767620
i got linked something that said the game had classes
im assuming you pick one at the start for your first two weapons but later on you can swap in and out?

im thinking AR + fists

>>180767797
>im assuming you pick one at the start for your first two weapons but later on you can swap in and out?

Nailed it.

>>180767797
You are assuming correct. Classes are the starter options, you mix two weapons together to form your "class", each weapon has three main lines of specialization, + passive skills.
AR + Fist would be a leech+hot healing, maybe some ground target AOE, not sure, have not checked the new AR. I recommend looking around, as even shotgun has group wide heal +debuff clear. None of us are probably so into the new system as to point out the most optimal and/or fun builds. My healer will either go blood magic/pistols, or something similar.

>>180767305
There should be a notice on how to join custom chat channels and functions.
A cabal seems nice but need patron/sub status to make one (though everyone can probably join one sub or no) at the moment. Preferably I'd just keep it to a chat channel and no more than that. Last time (or just in general as of with all MMOs) there was eventually some bad blood/drama between everyone.

>>180768217
Well, I presume like in the old one:
/chat join Sanctuary
Sanctuary is the channel for new players, where veterans hang out to help.
If we pick a name, (veegee?) it should be /chat join <name>

>>180768408
https://forums.thesecretworld.com/showthread.php?76927-Need-help-in-game-Presenting-the-Sanctuary
In case new players need it.

>>180768092
Not him but I want to run something with pistols. Can you go full-on DPS or do you need utility/buff skills if you're going to be a damage dealer?

>>180768408
The old was just "vidya".

>>180768651
Pistols especially are very viable for dps now, you can go dps with any weapon, pistols even more so. For a secondary, consider a blade or a shotgun with specialization on depleted uranium shells. So far this has worked for me, but we don't know yet what will turn out to be "meta" on max level.

yo, does the downtime also affect downloading the game?

Would there be moderation in the /vg/ channel so you can kick memeing retards who shit up the place? The reason these groups fail is because nobody wants to get rid of these guys

>>180768871
It shouldn't. The download speed varies wildly though.

>>180769418

Is there a DPS ranking for weapons? I'm kind of enjoying ARs aright now, are pistols good? Is there a way to reset skill points in the future?

>>180768873
I believe there are functions for that (though I have not used them myself)
The problem is, iirc, if its like the old chat system, then moderation goes to whoever logs into the channel first (unless they changed something in the new version)
In these cases, I'd have a backup channel/plan if shit goes downhill & keep in contact with friends

>>180769842
Yes.

>>180770026
No, yes, no (you can gather infinite points, but cannot reset).

>>180769842
Yes.
>>180770026
Pistols are prolly top single target atm. People haven't really had time to test out everything yet. No info on possible skill point resets. Highly likely won't happen, as you will be unlocking every single weapon tree eventually. Each weapon tree has a "capstone" talent that gives you passive increase to stats, and you need to fill in the tree to unlock it.

Is sword good? In TSW I used to use a sword/chaos build for plowing through pve content and farming xp. Was fun.

Is there any beneffit to having multiple characters? leveling is so slow and there's no alternate progression path. I don't think I can stomach doing it more than once, specially since actives/passives unlocks are character based.

>>180773638
Nothing so far.

>>180773709
I'd really prefer them doing that instead of taking so much time trying to fix things...

>>180773709
I am ok with that, they should just bring the servers up.

>>180773709
Honestly that's what they should do, some faggots getting mega rich should be corrected. I can't believe they were so incompetent, but I've seen worse, it wasn't fixed and game went to shit for a long period. Neverwinter online had an incredibly stupid programming bug, you could bit negative in the auction house, like -20 gold, and it would give you money some shit like that, the bug was there for like a month. Until someone got bored and told everyone in general or the forums, and in 5 hours everyone who was online had unlimited money. They only did a rollback for those 5 hours, and they only removed the money, all the shit people bought during that time frame was still in their inventory.

Compannies should have 0 tolerance for exploits.

>>180773920
Same, I haven't gotten far anyway but at least offer some decent compensation for those who got wiped and not banned.

How did the exploit work anyway?

>>180773797
They're doing pretty badly. Conan's tanking, whatever online lego game they made tanked, and a few years back they were getting investigated in Sweden for financial misconduct.

It's one bug, how it could take so long to fix it?

>>180774646
They're undoing all the exploits and making sure that when they undo it people who paid for jewbux have what they paid for, and that's a lot of shit to go through.

Some of the blame's on Funcom, sure, but if there weren't so many {{{exploiters}}} trying to get {{{shekels}}} for nothing we wouldn't be here.

>>180774646
It's not really a bug, it's the entire transaction algorithm, it's poorly designed as it has no taxes. People can just buy and sell infinitely and fuck the entire economy while they become omega rich.

So not only they have to fix it, they probably need to implement a permanent change, and considering the day and time there might not be someone with enough clearance to implement such a dramatic change.

>>180774818
>>180774871
Some people just couldn't leave it alone? Just report the bug and move on? What the hell they were thinking what was gonna happen? "Oh, they'll totally let me go scott-free, teehee. Aren't I great?"

>>180793249
The grenade mechanic is kind of clunky in that it's not off the GCD and you have to manually target THEN place it, otherwise it's pretty decent.

As for being "OP" I don't know but the damage is really good. I wish this game had a damage meter or something.

Alright, new player here. Help me understand dungeons.

I get 10 dungeons (per day?) that I can use to open the boss chests in a dungeon. When those keys run out, no more loot. Would it be better to skip the first 2 chests of a dungeon to have a better chance at better loot?

I ran Polaris with a friend and a pug. Is it always groups of 3? I was tank, friend was damage, pug was healer. Is it always holy trinity?

I think I read that dungeons give exp only once. Is this true, or is it a once/day thing? It also didn't seem like very good exp either.

Hey /swlg/

I'm looking for a new MMO and was stupidly tempted for Black Desert - but then I heard this game went F2P and relaunching today - ergo I'm now downloading the client. I was a huge fan when TSW was announced and loved all the trailers - sadly I didn't think the beta was worth a monthly subscription so I stopped caring...

but it's F2P now so huzzah! Can someone fill me in on wtf to expect? Also what's this ARG stuff? It won't load for me

>>180804168
Don't power game, 90% of the enjoyment is the story and atmosphere. The flavor text after quest completions can even be well done and enjoyable.

Combat is better but its not a selling point, enjoy the ride and do all the content especially on Solomon Island and Transylvania.

>>180804613
Seeing as the last guild I was in was when GW2 launched and pretty much lost touch with them... I'll be going in alone meeting new people and such

how bad is the grind?

I'm supposed to login with my tsw credentials to get some stuff right ?
Because it doesn't take my old ID/passwd, and I even checked them in the old website.

>>180804840
Not that bad, just have an idea what you want to do and what weapons you like. There was a holy trinity at end game in TSW but TSL may break that depending on what they do with elite/nm dungeons. I hope they go down the route of everyone in the group should be helping the group survive.

My main complain about legends is how easy the fight are and how railroad they made the game. Hope it gets better after kingsmouth

>>180808701
Almost the same with blade/ar.

hell raises

>>180809642
railroad? I finished the main questline and I was still lvl 9, I don't get an update until lvl 12, so I did the investigation missions with the fucking puzzles which are supposed to give a ton of xp, finished those after struggling with them, and I'm still lvl 9.... I have no clue on how to get to 12 now. I mean sure there's a ton of quests scattered around, but it doesn't feel like a railroad to me, if anything is the oposite, they make you walk too fucking much back and fort and waste time because you can't just pick all the quests and clear them, you have to turn in and walk back to pick the ones you had missing or couldn't pick because they had a pre req.

>>180810634
>but it doesn't feel like a railroad to me

For now I can't pick the quest I want and the main "blue" quest force me to do things in a certains order.

>they make you walk too fucking much back and fort and waste time because you can't just pick all the quests and clear them

Already that way in classic, it's part of the appeal of TSW and it add to the atmosphere.

You can use the auction house. There is no point in changing weapons unless they are higher rarity though. Even if they are higher rarity, it just means you have to go back to Kingsmouth to start grinding it back up to higher levels (unless you stockpiled weapons to spam upgrades).

So in other words Templar are traditionalists while Illuminati are Jews?
Think I'll just go Templar then.

>>180831051
Yes, you can play with people on other factions. It has no effect on your playstyle, it's only for story and pvp purposes.

Dragons see themselves as chaos theory personified; by manipulating events in the right way, they can achieve progress towards some higher goal. They never tell you what this goal is though, so they always come across as 'lolsorandum' assholes.

>>180831074
Good choice.

So if i want to be a healer and use a rifle can i do it?
its telling me warlock is 5 skulls in the difficulty aspect of things

>>180832047
you can if you want to. it kind of boggles my mind how an assault rifle could possibly be capable of healing anything - always seemed to me like it was better at the opposite of that

as for difficulty...nothing in SWL is really hard. particularly since the combat system was dumbed down


gotta be honest, only reason im on SWL and not classic is because SWL gives all the issues for free

>>180832047

rifle is mainly a healing weapon anyway i think

the skulls dont really mean shit. every weapon is some dumb flavour of gimmick now, you just pick the flavour of bullshit you'd like to deal with: timed detonations that blow up in your hands if not spent, playing slots, balancing a pendulum bar, etc.

>>180832047
You can, AR are part of a leech build.
Also don't mind the skull as long as you aren't retard enough to jump in aoe everything is easy enough.

Keep the blood weapon as primary otherwise you will lack dps.

>Can't recreate old character
What the fuck is this shit? I wanted to 'continue' playing my old character, so to speak, but they somehow made the character creation worse. How is that even possible?
I know it's superficial of me but this really kills my motivation to play.
Are they cashing in with Occam's Razor and Modern Prometheus? Am I forced to pay for the remaining customization options or did they just fuck up totally?

>>180832047
Also if you don't put a ability that use the grenade in your skill bar you won't generate them, making the gimmick obsolete.

>>180832462
thats a lot of questions to answer, anon.

>what the fuck is this shit?
this is SWL
>how is that even possible
never underestimate human incompetence
>are they cashing in with occams razor and modern prometheus?
unlikely, more probably that it was done entirely to cut costs
>am i forced to pay for the remaining customization options or did they just fuck up totally?
fairly sure they unlock as you play the game

>done entirely to cut costs
How is changing the old system to a new one that has less options cutting costs?
It would have cost them nothing to retain the old system in its entirety.
This seriously makes me upset.
I tried to create my old character but I can't get the features right because you can't any more choose nose, mouth, and face shape separately and the facial hair options simply do not have the one I used.
I came close but it isn't the same and it's just unsightly to me after spending hundreds of hours with the old one. I feel like I'm going to have to change faction and gender to be even able to play but I don't want to leave my old character and unlocked clothing.
Fuck.

>>180831074
Templars got Obama as their head. You dun goofed.

>>180833443
You can scroll down on the hair thingy, just in case you missed that.

So, just read about this shit. Had a lifetime sub, but quit playing years ago. Can I still login to my old account, spend all my free market points on clothes and then do the transfer to SWL?

>>180834018
Sonnac is Nigerian
Not Kenyan

Ok, i transfered my shit, got three character slot so might have worked.
But i just finished the tutorial and i have no pets anymore, neither greater sprint (i thought this was supposed to be transfered too). Will i get them later or am i fucked? I had more than 50 of them god damnit.

>>180834262
Only vanity items acquired through points or in game purchases rather than achievements got transferred.

>>180831074
Illiminati are typical egoists assholes, I wouldn't call them Jew. Maybe cyberpunk corporate, as long as you're a ruthless bastard you're good.

Templars are Lawful Neutral, Illuminati are Neutral Evil.

>>180835072
Templars are lawful stupid, Illuminati are neutral, Dragons are chaotic randumb.
