Secret World Not to shabby

I bought it...the early start begins on the 29th...full release is july 3rd
 
I didn't get on this beta, I was travelling to Wales.

Will there be multiple servers? Whats everyone think about starting a DP guild? Considering the theme of the game, it might actually work out quite well.

Will there be multiple servers? Whats everyone think about starting a DP guild? Considering the theme of the game, it might actually work out quite well.

At the start there will be 7 Dimensions, they arent called servers. Cerberus and Grim will be the hard core PVP Dimensions.
Funcom states that each of their dimensions will hold many many thousands of players more than other Mmorphs servers. They will add dimensions as needed. These are the Early Access dimensions which starts tomorrow the 29th. Actual Gold date is July 3,
I will be on Cerberus, Templar Faction, Legion, Cabal, cabal being their name for Guild or Clan. My reserved in game name is Krowl.

There are just 3 factions, each with its own story line which all blends together after a short start area. Illuminati, Templar, Dragon. Templar being non religious and not associated with Knights Templar lore.
I was surprised to see the number of Founding Cabals from all over...encompassing most of Europe...Finland...There are some huge MultiGame Cabals and there are some with a very large membership already, I passed on all those and chose a smaller Cabal with more of a social theme than hardcore PVE or RP theme. I do this stuff for fun not to have a full time job :) so I avoid all the drama and intensity.

Cerberus
Grim
Daemon
Huldra
Faerie <RP>

Drac French Dimension
Kobold German..Dimension
 
The early access is up and running since yesterday and my cabal is starting to form...The start wasnt too bad I expected alot longer waits to get on the servers but it wasnt bad...and I havent run into any major bugs as of yet...They havent released the pre order rewards yet...jacket, pet and armor piece...the ingame store hasnt opened.
In game chat needs work and they are on that...and cabal <guild, clan> chat and recruitment needs some refinement...and they are working on that...game is fun so far...and everyone in my cabal seems excited and likeing it alot and all are experienced mmorph guys...they are not real young...the game WHICH I LIKE ABOUT IT ALOT is not oriented for the very young...its more a mature game in content...with adult content...so far its surpassing my expectations....
 
"To shabby" is not a verb, hence the thread title makes no sense.

I usually note when a post title makes no sense. You do know the difference between 'to' and 'too', don't you?

Hiya Aberration....if your getting your ass kicked youve gotten ahead of yourself. You have to be a little disciplined and not just take lore quest lines....Heres what I realized...lore quest lines are the quests that progress you in QUESTS only...they dont progress your abilities and skills and gear making...your allowed to have 3 quests in your log..but only ONE active one...if you begin another the one your doing goes on LONG cooldown some 24 hrs...then you have to start them over again...and you are allowed 3 what they call side quests.
Do side quests they have a different icon at the quest givers its not green its white..usually between the green quest sign and the white dialogue marker. Do them take heed when you take a quest they are labeled...NORMAL...HARD....VERY HARD....you can always go back and get normal quests or hard...and wait for the very hard....Go Explore man...its a huge area Im just taking my time im in no hurry to progress.

What faction are you ? and what server and are you in a cabal yet

I ignore petty trolls such as yourself with a personal agenda against another poster who doesnt care and thinks your fun to laugh a <me>...You obvioiusly have nothing to add to the thread but a cheap attempt at trying to insult me..and again you have Failed and of course I we both know why you have this chip on your shoulder :).
I would appreciate you adding anything to the thread that has some value to the thread about the Game...or that would help anyone that may be interested in the game. Other than that you have a nice day sir and know your weak attempt at smack is insignificant :):2wave::2wave::2wave: lol

There was no insult and no trolling, merely pointing out that it's always best to try to write in intelligible English, whatever your subject matter. I have nothing to contribute on the putative subject; I don't play video games.

Does the phrase "constructive criticism" mean anything to you?

Oh I know how the questing works. It was just the riddles of those 2 that were insane.

I have a character on each faction, but have only played my Illuminati faction so far. On Grim. No Cabal yet! Take a guess at the character name :D
 
Hurray, a spelling and grammar Nazi.

Because everyone who saw to, instead of too, were so totally confused. :roll:

Oh and FYI, the game maxes out all 8 cores of my CPU. That is a first from what I can recall. Finally starting to use all our hard earned gear.

I guess you the phrase constructive criticism doesnt mean anything to you either...see constructive criticism is something I actually appreciate when its about something that ive done wrong that is actually meaningful....anyone that thinks on a public forum that constructive criticism is typing to instead of too or your instead of you're is just as petty as the dip that wants to be a petty and picky troll...:) anyway back to the game..

The Secret world is putting a whooping on my nvidia 570GTX i had mulitple crashs cuz my vid card was overheating...I took it off auto variable and brought the fan speed to a stead 85% and I put a couple of 120mm powerhouse fans in the case and boosted my variable control on my others up a bit and it dropped a whopping 20c see how it holds up...its a good card evga and I dont have it overclocked..

This...

"To shabby" is not a verb, hence the thread title makes no sense.

...is not constructive criticism. So I stopped reading everything else since its irrelevant.


Funcom games have always seemed to be resource heavy. AO when it launched was a nightmare the computers of the time. Same with AoC, until they got the DX10 working, but even then.

I must say, I like the look of the game. It doesn't look as good as some of the FPS's, but it can't really either. I have a 6990m in my laptop, and its doing pretty good. I keep everything on low, otherwise I get too much stuttering. But the FPS stays around 70. And I am happy I do not need a VPN to play from China. And the lag is not that bad from China either.

All in all, I am really happy with the game. But as with everything from Funcom, it will depend on the end game.

I have an 17 950 desktop 12 gig of ram 570gtx and the game looks really good...and I have 3d turned off because nvidia doesnt recommend it for the secret world yet...the drivers need to catch up.

I played wow and never had a heat prob with my card...The secret world blows it up...so high 95c with the fan on 85% ..I have to buy a vid card after market cooler for it....Accelero Xtreme plus 2 is the best out there...but its tough to put on..but it drops the temp amazingly so ive read..
Im liking the game the more I understand it...some cons however....In game chat and cabal chat sucks...they need a Wow like interface for cabal chats...I read on the forum that there will be an upgrade in the future...they are doing a major patch today dont ask whats in it ...I have no clue.
Im just learning the assembly they could have made that easier for old folks lol....So far im having fun...and anyone that played wow in the very beginning knows how many probs they had also...they did alot of tweaking and patching and changing for a year or two..

What sever you on aberration and what faction...im in cerberus...templar...cabal 1st Legion
 
WoW is an actually pretty resource easy game. Which was smart on their end, because far more people could play it smoothly. Once I got to the next zone, the game looks SOOO much better. So much creepier in the woods. Some of the mobs are pretty unique looking.

For assembly, the best way it to just 'test' disassemble something! If you place it in there, it will show you what order and what mats are needed. When you disassemble, you get 1 grade less. So to assemble something better than what you are testing, you would need 2 grades higher!

I didn't see anything major in the patch today. They fixed Men in Black Vans lol, so at least I got my achievement.

I have a toon on all 3 factions, all on Grim. Mostly playing an Illuminati since I played Templar some in beta. Although it doesn't really appear like there is all that much difference this low of level.

Grim and Cerberus and the heavy pvp servers....I was in the next zone, savage coast during the last beta weekend and yes its much much better looking and even running zone...I liked it there alot...ill be there shortly, ive been hanging back in town to help out cabal members that got a later start....the game has a highter learning curve than others to me...im admittedly a very very slow game learner..
I was crashing regularly..I ordered a super duper after market vga cooler...all rating said it was the best....I need to get it below 75 c under stress costly sucker it is..

Well you should have taken a crack at Anarchy Online! You needed a masters in mathematics to play it properly.

My desktop is water cooled :D I haven't checked the temps on this laptop. I will grab a monitor and see what it ramps up to tomorrow.

My CPU is water cooled....but my Vid card was not...now it will be...I have 4 120 mm fans and 180mm....the 180 and a 120 are on the top of the case pulling hot air out...two in the front blowing cold air in...one exhaust in the back and one in the floor blowing up...and one 90 in the side door of the case...exhausting....tons of cooling....and TSW is overheating an evga 570 GTX go figure

That's odd, in a way...

I have a 470 GTX in my comp, no water cooling whatsoever, and I've been playing TSW on what I think are max graphics settings.
