I enjoyed the little bit I played over the free weekend.
If I want to continue, do I have to buy the game, or can I just sign up for a monthly subscription as I already have it installed?
And in typical Funcom fashion, they list that TXAA is supported now, put in a lovely blurb about how TSW is the first game to ever fully-support TXAA, and how great it is...Originally Posted by triggercut
...and then forget to enable it. You still can't select TXAA rendering in the game.
Love these guys, but it really is like watching your dad and grampa fix an old car sometimes.
You have to buy it.
anyone explain to me in terms a stupid person can understand, how crafting works?
Especially would like to have health potions (or whatever they are called in this game). Also, where can I buy the potions for health?
I am a Templar, btw....and I have been to London, but cannot buy anything from the guys at our HQ, or so it seems. So, I have been at the mercy of drops for health potions, and that is not working out all that great....
Thanks
Chris
Find a trash item
Press Y
Drag it into the Dissasembly area of the window
Notice how the layout is, for example
(0 = blanks, # used)
000#000
00###00

Using DUST.
Then, when you want to craft a similar item.
Use dust, make it into that shape, and use a Toolkit for the item-level you want to create.
Note the tooltips for the toolkit what quality level crafting reagent you need to use.
To get higher quality level crafting materials put the crafting material in the crafting window in stacks of 5 or higher, and receive bacon.
This is a good general crafting resource:

Okay, got TXAA 4x working. Wow!
Firstly, it can only be set once you're in game from the options there. Someone at Funcom forgot to enable the tick box/pulldown from the game launch screen's options. Oh well. Also, obviously, have to have a 600-level nVidia card (with the Kepler chip), and beta drivers 304.79.
I'm loving it, but it might not be for everyone. Egypt and the desert look great. Solomon Island is really hazy with visible mist and sea-spray everywhere. It might be a little overdone to some tastes. The soft-focus nature of a lot of TXAA is also going to leave a few folks in the cold, I imagine. It'll be a "personal tastes" kind of thing, but I'd love to see it in other DX 11 capable games.
Yeah getting 30 black marks per hour was awesome!
Even at 14 per hour getting a full set of purple gear is retarded easy.
A comparison shot with FXAA HQ and TXAA 4x. I put them under spoiler tags so as not to ruin everyone's horizontal scroll. Please don't point and laugh at my lame character.
Spoiler: FXAA HQ no tesselation
Spoiler: TXAA 4x, tesselation
Can we get regular old FSAA please? Last I checked, you can't even force it through Catalyst.
TXAA 4X looks like shit.
Maybe I am missing something.

Cant believe I missed out on lots of marks during the weekend... Did they reduce the cooldown on the Quest or something?
And now it has been broken forever? Used to be 7 marks per capture of a facility, with a 30 minute cooldown, then 10 minutes of "/Illuminati Lets take West Fac!" before people are assembled and ready to go.. hoping that the Terran Republic... or Dragon or whatever they are called wont attack us and spoil the PvE fun.
You are, or you're just crazy. Was just coming to post that I think TXAA is about the coolest-looking goddamned thing I've ever seen in a game, at least in a while.
Maybe it was just the screenshot then, have not checked in game yet, but it looked very blury compared to your other picture.
Turns out I dont have a 6xx NVIDIA so I can not enable it. So you'll have to take some more pictures to show the various settings..

Some of the writing in this game is top notch, both in NPC monologues and in text. It feels like the writers were really flying when they were involved, really into what they were doing (again, contrasting with SWTOR, much of the writing of which feels professional enough, but stiff and perfunctory in comparison - "phoned in").
I've never played an MMO that's made me so into lore collecting, each time I see one of those orange squares in the distance I get a happy feeling, knowing there's going to be another little well-written piece of puzzle coming together.
And I wouldn't dream of clicking through a cutscene because I just know that the character is going to be interesting and the puppet show (while using more primitive graphics in some ways) very expressive.
Would I be mistaken in thinking that some of the digital puppetry is motion-capture driven? I mean some of the nuances in the facial/body expressions of some of the characters are so subtle, yet so apt.
So, I tried to use my bonus points to buy an outfit. Ended up with a different outfit, which was strange. Opened a petition - surely this is an easy for for a GM, right? No. Policy is that they won't exchange, reimburse, etc. Basically, if you bought it from the store, they won't help you and they won't touch it. I'm glad it was bonus points and not my own money.
Also, apparently item store purchases are per-character, so make real sure you have the right one picked in the drop down. Apparently they won't fix that, either.
No, you were right to begin with and you aren't crazy...it looks like shit. In TSW it blurs everything to the point where you feel like you need glasses. Nvidia has been claiming TXAA wouldn't have this issue, but in this game the blur is worse than even FXAA, which is quite a bit.

Yeah, I'm amazed to see an AA method being pushed that's actually worse than FXAA in terms blur. It's as if I've just woken up and can't quite focus my eyes.
The game is now on steam.
Should be nice for their sales, I'm sure. Personally, I dislike having to start Steam in order to play an MMO that starts another launcher to start the game.Ragnar Tørnquist @RagnarTornquist Fantastic news! From @steam_games: The Secret World now available on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/215280/ #TSW
I cannot use TXAA on my 670.
the blur and lack of detail is apalling, it seems to apply AA to the texture detail and thus makes all textures seem blurred and low res like in their appearance. It DOES remove all jaggies and shimmering, however the blurred low res side affect is unacceptable.
On the plus side is makes FXAA look good!
It hasn't been my experience that you have to use Steam at all to actually -play- MMOs you purchase and install through them. But I guess I personally always have Steam at least running in the background.
DDO turns on Steam first, if you installed it through them. I cant remember if Rift did the same? AION did as well.
Can you just get a key from Steam? I already have the game installed from the free weekend. I don't need to download it again.
Yes.
Just dont select to install it. should be possible to view your keys.
"Our policy is, if for any reason you're not satisfied with our service, I hate you."
But seriously, their customer service policies are appallingly bad. It's rather clearly an organizational failing, in that anyone running a division that poorly and setting their policies should have been walked out by security long ago. They're actively harming their company.

I have a bad feeling towards Funcom because I tried to cancel my Age of Conan account, thought that I had done that, and then found out a few months later that according to Funcom I hadn't. I emailed support and was told they wouldn't refund me the money, even though a quick check on their part would have shown them that I hadn't logged in and played during the months in question.
So I don't really trust them. It's game cards or a Paypal account with limited funds from now on.
Still, I do plan on buying Secret World. I'm just going to be smart about it.
According to the latest business update from Funcom, sales of TSW have so far failed to meet projections. Perhaps the investors who bombed the stocks a few weeks ago were not too far off the mark after all.
Disappointing, if not totally surprising. From the conversations I witnessed post-launch, the game seemed to have developed some really bad word of mouth, like one of those games that is popular to hate. That is, if you're knowledgeable about the industry, then you're expected to be down on the game.
Personally, this was one of the most pleasantly surprising MMO experiences I've had in a long time. The low sales seem like a poor reward for the excellent writing and atmosphere that were delivered.
where do I find my game key (if I got it via digital download), so I can add it to steam?
I don't think MMO bought by Steam have the Steam DRM. Once are installed, you can run the launcher withouth Steam, then have the luancher load the game.
Thats it: MMO run over special rules on Steam.
(NOTE: I can be wrong).
MMOS, of course, self update and everything else. So probably wen you buy a MMO in Steam, what you buy is a cd-key, and the right to download the launcher.
