Hello, my name is Mycroft Holmes and alongside my co-commentator Falconier111 and editor Pilchenstein, I'll be doing a let's play of Secret World Legends, an occult based MMO. What is this? This is Secret World Legends, a reboot of The Secret World as a free-to-play MMO. They made combat in this version not terrible! What sort of LP is this? This is an informative LP in which we will be going through all the single-player content of the MMO. Edit: I am doing dungeons. Spoilers? Feel free to discuss lore about places we are in or have been to. By the third area, all spoiler restrictions are lifted. Playlist Mycroft Holmes fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 8, 2021 |

EclecticTastes posted:The website is extremely finicky about your browser, I actually had to download Firefox and that was what finally got the transfer to go through. That said, I'm actually pretty disappointed by what I found when I got into the game. For one thing, it doesn't look like anyone is actually playing aside from Mycroft, I think I encountered maybe five other players while I was scouring the hub areas for lore honeycombs instead of following the story. It's a drat good thing I transferred over all my clothes, too, because now basically everything costs some nonsense currency you only get drip-fed through daily missions (one of like twelve friggin' currencies, only one of which even involves real money, I thought they unified the bullshit currencies in the original TSW to solve this kind of problem). Also, the combat changes are kind of a wash, it's just a different kind of lovely now. Oh, and all the interesting, if kind of hard to find, shops and vendors were replaced with basically a single extremely contrived-feeling mall in the middle of Agartha, making the game feel that much less immersive and more artificial. Maybe it'll improve as I go, but so far it just seems like it's kind of worse in every way compared to the original incarnation (Tokyo notwithstanding). There's an official goon guild, just check the MMO HMO.

Cythereal posted:Edit: The Dragon intro hasn't changed. To wit, the person knocking on your door has had his mouth sewn shut. He zaps you with magic and you fall unconscious, waking up as a van dumps you out the back in a valley in Seoul. After following a trail of glowing butterflies to a cheap motel, a drunk college professor gives you a quick rundown on chaos theory and a prostitute sexually assaults you (the PC's consent is, uh, dubious) and at the moment of orgasm your character has the flashback to the Tokyo incident.

Regallion posted:The fact that you don't talk to people is just regrettable. Just about every quest-giver NPC and a few non-quest-giver NPCs have a bunch of diiialogue if you care to listen and it ranges from character building to worldbuilding to just fun stuff. Consider showing that off? Ah, but the reason I don't talk to people is stated in the LP: so you'll play the game!

Regallion posted:To be fair to hammers, you can also use the dressing room to apply skins to it, some of which are very medieval if you are into that. I might take you up on that with my lvl50 main, so I can get that sweet, sweet lore.

If you're desperate to know what the other factions say on mission complete, there is a wiki. However, you will most likely be tempted to just read everything before I get around to doing it.

The Polaris Quick commentary less run-through of the first dungeon. For some reason the starting cutscene cut off, though.

Regallion posted:For all dungeons - you want to manually take the quest from the relevant quest giver before entering them, as that's how you get the proper introduction to WHY you are going in there. Like, as-is it just seems that you board a helicopter for no reason, big oof. I did, it just failed to start recording until the helicopter for some reason. I pushed the record button before that, though.

If anybody cares, it's the 4th anniversary, so there's a bunch of special events going on. I may put up a video of them later. Mostly, it's 2 special boss fights.

Dark Agartha Dark Agartha is a solo raid requiring you to sacrifice skill points and ability points. If you do it enough, you get a thing that increases items to 4 pips! It's super grindy! I'm only doing it for the lore.

Anniversery Golem Fight Part of the yearly anniversary is fighting a rotating series of golems, then fighting a gatekeeper in Agartha. I'll see if I can get footage of Hatekeeper.

I'm not great at video editing and these videos are so short that I don't bother with commentary. My editor is in the UK and I've just sent him the next main video to edit.

As a side note, I've finished all story content on my main. All that's left is grinding item power for the last two missions and hoping they release new content someday.
