Originally posted by Demandman overall people really only matters for server stability overall. Has nothing to do with quest bugs, game crashing bugs, features not working ect.. so far haven't had any issues in any major department . I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Very impressed also by that launch. Looks like Funcom redeemed themself with The Secret World. I played all day yesterday, no issues whatsoever. |

Originally posted by Demandman Wow? Tenfolds a day? For years?!?! No wai! Do some of you think anyone takes you remotely serious when you say these types of things? Just curious... Anywho, as for the topic seems like FC finally got there act together for a launch. It is about fucking time and happy for those experiencing it. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by Omnifish Yeah we are either playing different clients or you are just paid shill to spread bull about TSW (see two can play that game). But in all seriousness, you are the first guy to paint this horrible picture of launch which is not even remotely true. Good try though. I knew you were taking BS when you said plenty of quests in kingsmouth are still bugged. RIGHT!!!!!! |

I was a regular tester since the first beta phase began. No not the weekend betas but the full time beta. Seeing how the game grew each patch was impressive. From the content they added to the changes in zones, skills, equipment. A lot of placeholder material swapped for the final versions. How much better optimized the game became. It grew every patch. It was a great thing to experience.
The fact that the game features a 3 faction pvp system will keep pvpers in the game for awhile. The hybrid hotkey action mmo is nice to. Its not really action and mostly hotkey but enough small differences make a big change in combat. I find the combat very similar to guild wars 2 which is a great thing. Most importantly for me is the setting for the game. Modern Day with the supernatural twist and conspiracy theory story. All great points for me.
I have had a few issues with game crashes due to "out of memory" because of memory leaks. Hopefully it gets fixed pretty quickly. At the same time ive only completed about 1/5 of the quests in Kingsmouth so It is hard to judge buggy or not buggy for the entire game. But it has been pretty smooth compared to most mmo releases. I think the three best mmo releases for me have been Rift, Aion, and TSW. Star Wars and AOC being the most buggy.
Sadly TSW isn't going to make a lot of sales and this will cause the game to be a free to play game by the end of the year or Q1 of next year. I love the game so far but I am being a realist.

Originally posted by daydreamerxx No you are not being realistic because FC was never going to target masses like SWTOR and GW2. There goals in terms of subscriptions is different. TSW doesn't need 500K to 1 million subs to survive, it is not that kind of MMO. I am not saying it won't go F2P but not in one year, sorry not happening. TSW was always a niche game and niche games have better chance of survival with small dedicated subscriber base. |

Originally posted by Chrome1980 They had some pretty lofty expectations for this game from what I recall. I remember a poster here putting up some statements they made about it and while I cannot remember specifics they seemed pretty unrealistic to me. I think the game is going to do well but what I would deem a game like this doing. Not so sure they may feel the same way. I do agree that it won't go f2p in less than a year. Really I just hope the game does well enough that they fully support it and add regular updates to the game. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept.

Last I checked in Kingsmouth there are 4-5 broken/weird/buggy quests out of what... 55? 60 quests? People remember the buggy ones but forget that there were tons of other ones without problems.. but that's generally how humans think. I don't include puzzle quests that work perfectly fine that people can't figure out and assume are bugged (Something Wicked is bugged obviously though). The statement of "lots of buggy quests" don't really hold water considering the number of buggy quests in Savage Coast I've seen so far have been 0. So while it's fun to nit pick every game that you like and try to bloat numbers, the ones who are playing know what's up and are busy playing and having fun and not spending all their time trying to counter the negative feedback. |

Only issue, aside from the sometimes broken "something wicked" mission, i've seen is the initial delay in delivery from the cash shop (and due to this on preorder or other bonus items) which has been likely due to everyone trying to claim at the same time. I went in after work and a patch and so far haven't encountered any issue at all, well, at one point lag caused that some zombies hit me before i could see them, but so far it hasn't repeated.
It's not yet launch, officially, but so far, launch has been a success for FC. Technically, economically i have no idea. |

Actually ...I just completed every quest in Kingsmouth except for the Men in Black. It is paused at 4/4. The rest of the quest work fine. Some of then are hard..like the morsecode (had to use an App) but they all work. I didn't experience any bugs. Now there was 2 quest that where disabled in the zone ..that unless you played closed beta you never would know. I just went to go pick them up any they werent there. One of them I was the reason it is disabled because I found a huge exploit that allowed you to get unlimited sequins from it. So glad they closed it or that would of be a major bug. (it was the toilet quest..flushed away)
Savaged coast was flawless. Zero bugs. yes I just zoned into Blue Mountain and Im tired!.
As for TSW and RIFT launch? Theres no comparsion...TSW is a ALOT smoother. While the store was down on the TSW...ENTIRE servers where in 4-6 hour ques. Some servers after the first 10 launched where fine, but those top 5 guilds had HUGE ques for the first 2 days. People where EXTREMELY unhappy. Also ..the aution house was disabled for around 6 hours on launch day because it wasn't giving people money correctly. So in my opinion the secret worlds launch is way smoother.
Also only took me 30 minutes to get a petition response on launch day from Funcom. They answered my question.
Anyone else who says otherwise might just not know how to complete the quest, they were meant to be hard. The devs have also stated (its on the launcher as well..so everyone can see it) that they will have the auction house up before official launch. It is only early access....everyone got the intiate pack anyways...what do we really need to buy:P |

Originally posted by Chrome1980 This is a wee bit premature, isnt it? The Secret World has not officially launched yet....... A creative person is motivated by the desire to achieve, not the desire to beat others. |

Originally posted by Byrhofen And what do you think is going to happen on 3rd? you think those who want to play TSW haven't pre order already and are playing right now? or you think all of a suddenly another 1 to 2 million players will magically appear crashing the servers? |

Originally posted by Wickedjelly Actually, the financial statements show that their target scenario is about 500,000 subs. That's not lofty in my opinion. |

Originally posted by Arixtotle The numbers that stood out to me and god I wish I knew where that was were overall sales and how much they were planning on bringing in from the cash shop. Both seemed very unrealistic. I wann says they were projecting initial sales of 1.5 million. Whatever the number was I almost fell out of my chair when I read them. Maybe the person that posted it before if they come across this can post it again. 500k is reasonable and about where I would put them at. That certainly wasn't the sense I got from them that was their goal. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept.
