(MMO) The Secret World | Launch Week + Tips

[Hotfreak]

Okay, I'm in on one of the RP dimensions (Leviathan?) as Illuminati. Character name: Jim "Fertile" Sprout. Just call me "Fertile".

I'm leaning towards the Fist/Chaos first 60 survival build from Triggercut's link.

Got myself to Kingsmouth and did a few quests there. Really enjoying kinda taking my time, clicking through all the dialogue options.

Taking a break for dinner. Should be on tonight.

I still see the "My first 60" page here as a good starting point.

(The 60 part of "my first" is your first 60 action points you earn in the game)

Be sure to post your character name! I'm going to be starting my new character today as well, name will likely be some form of "Triggercut", but not that exactly because I have a guy I may return to who's decently high level by that name.

This is a great starting point. I've been playing one night a week with a few friends since January, and we've been having a good time with the lore and the investigation missions. We've been taking it slowly - listening to all the dialog, reading new lore when it comes in, and it has made the game really enjoyable by focusing on its strengths - the setting, the writing and some (some!) of the voice acting. There are lots of little nods to horror fiction and King in particular, which has been a treat.

I started with : blade/fist survival build, which served me very well through Kingsmouth, only switching to a more tanking focused build when we went through the first Dungeon.

Be on in a few.

After reading this thread, I just had to restart an Illumi: Rae "Yshari" Mincer.

Now the hard part - deciding what build to go with. I loved playing blade/blood. So I'll probably have to find something else that can do PBAoE and healing.

Anyone else had a problem with getting the client to start up? I can get through the login and character screens just fine, but then it just hangs (twice) or crashes (once). It's weird, cuz it worked just a week ago.

No problems here.

Heh. Awesome name. I considered Mincer Ray, myself.

I'll be on after Madmen and join the chat.

Just got home from work. Going to grab dinner and play for a few hours.

Makes me wonder if someone has made an addon to do the "unequip" / re-equip for you ;)

Theoretically you can save your gear in the gear manager which should requip it. But it's a bit buggy

I've been playing for a couple of weeks now, really enjoying the story and missions. Chose Illumi and I went for an AR survival build, doing ok and just getting the first missions done in Blue Mountains

[Hotfreak]

I've been playing for a bit now and often thoroughly enjoying myself. I feel a bit isolated, though, so join #qt3 chat whenever on. Give a holler.

Character name: Jim "Fertile" Sprout. So far I've only run into Malkav.

[triggercut]

I'll be on for quite a bit later today and tonight. Feverishly working to finish up some work so I can have playtime!

[Hotfreak]

Logging in for a few missions. Hope to see you, Trig. What's your character name?

Torision, post your name and I'll friend you.
