I just want to know which version of the game to play if I just want to play through the content solo. I was always interested in the game and got a key on sale a while ago. Never got around to giving it a go.

You forget how we legit had players needing build guides and videos to clear the gatekeeper. I for one look forward to going into mumble and listening to people trying to understand why the Orachi have gently caress with everything they find. There is also the dungeon runs with bosses that are aware of your immortality and make fun of you for wiping and coming back for more. The game was a great single player game that happened to be multiplayer. I am a huge fan of the writing. Game was fun and dead. Fiddling with the corpse can only produce an entertaining Frankenstein at this point. Which appears appropriate given the game's story and setting. The only real issue is did they put enough time into the revamp like FFXIV did or is this totally a two man mod crew bastardization style.

I have a lifetime sub to TSW and got my 200 dollars of enjoyment in the form of playing the drat game for about two years. Everything past this is just bonus. Can't wait for posts like this gem in here.

I love the super sperg attitude going on. It's like people are pretending the secret world wasn't a lovely mmo. You guys need to pull your heads out of your asses cause there was nothing amazingly phenomenal about the gameplay they're replacing. It's just a bad game that's being replaced with a bad game. What horror.

TSW thread has always been for making fun of how bad Funcom has hosed up this game. The only people ever defending TSW were the ones that Drinkfist was making fun of literally 3 posts ago.

I played this game at launch for a bit and then forgot about it. This video popped up today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvHvcF0-pk0. Do you guys in the beta feel thats fairly accurate? I'll probably check it out regardless.

He spins a lot of things as positive when they aren't really great changes or are halfway to decent changes. A few posts ago someone said that this isn't really a relaunch as it is a content patch. That's pretty accurate. I just finished updating so I'll have some info and pictures soon.

I get the impression part of the reason they're calling this a relaunch and a separate product from TSW is so that Funcom doesn't have to split publisher royalties with EA any more.

It seems like this thread is just for bitching for the sake of bitching really. Which of course is fine that is a key part of the MMORPG experience but as someone whose not really part of the games community it does seem a little absurd at times. Being upset that Funcom is trying to fix its product to appeal to more people so it can continue to operate it is a tad much. Oh, and its being called a relaunched because they are transitioning to new servers including a reset of the game world. Calling everyone starting over from the beginning a relaunch seems appropriate.

I don't think people are bitching because Funcom is trying to fix the game. That's a bit disingenuous. Like, I was really excited when I first heard about the relaunch, but a lot of the "fixes" evaporated that enthusiasm, by both the revamp being kind of lazy, and the freemium model originally being weirdly punishing. I am not exactly sure what would be the draw for any new players to be brought in, aside from the story which was always there. Emberfox fucked around with this message at 03:44 on May 27, 2017 |

The thing that most turns me off is that they're making us restart and then slowing down progress substantially. I don't mind starting over because at this point it's been what four years since I've finished the non-Tokyo story? But what I do mind is having to grind levels in order to experience it.

It's an old game. Too much excitement all at once isn't healthy for it.

the best case scenario is that funcom ensnares enough whales with this update that they can afford to get some actual story out for this game, but even then someone is liable to go "finally more money to make more conan games!!!!!" and we'll get playerunknown's conan: battlegrounds

Regarding lairs:quote:

I can dig it. Lairs are a cool idea with poor execution right now maybe making them better has been on the to-do list for awhile

I wonder if they're going to test the rebalance as well as they did the dungeons.
