Okey , this is a small impression.

First of i use to keep track on all MMO comming, this wasent on my radar at all, allthought i recall seeing a Trailer a few years ago , more than that i havent seen.

So i basicly bought the game without knowing what it was, ive heard bad things and good things.

The bad things where about the grafics and the gameplay and that the combat sucked.

IM A TERA kind of guy who like ninja spells and annimation.

So i was a little dull about this.

But i bought the game

After 2 hours of gameplay i bought the lifetime sub for 199Euro and the other pack for 14.99

Its just hat good game.

The good things about the game

Grafics are stunning "ONLY" if you have a DX11 card" minimum a 560TI and a Quad core I5 or i7 and 6 gb ram.

Combat are so fun , its a new thing when you fire of Dual Berettas or a G36 AssuoltRiffle.

Other great things are the community,

This isent a Kids game, its a mature game, i guess for the audience 30+ and upp.

You have hard puzzels and YOU need to use your brain.

And you get to fire off weapons.

Everquest players should like this game.

My Link to Youtube where i just play randomly for 2 min "Early gameplay"

No replies =) ???

i have to agree and came pretty close to upgrading the lifetime sub myself, but with gw2 on the horizon and the lack of reply's to a few petions i decided against it, but the game is great so far.......

Its a great game targetting at a less action oriented group of gamers, presumably 30+ in age..

If the game will keep people interested over the long run, totally depends on how fast funcom can add new stories and lore.  After all its story based and exactly the group of players interested in this game is the group that does not want to repeat it over and over again.

Okey...

I realy , for once enjoy a mmo.

I havent had this feeling to a MMO since the very first MMO i liked, "lineage2"

I have got the feeling back.

But gw2 can that realy compete with The Secret World?

Ineed...

But its is as every other games out there,

it got

Instances/raids

Killing

Quests

and so on.

You spend as much time killing stuff that you doing puzzels wich in a possetive way ment, its a 100% killing game, but its also a story/puzzle game 100%

For me its a mix of

Everquest2/World Of WarCraft/and SWtors story gengre.

it prob has more hype then swotor did, and prob a bigger budget...

oh yeah and everyone still remembers AoC, good ole funcom

I really like the game but it doesn't feel like an MMO to me. The PvP feels tacked on like in many MMO's.

I feel like I am playing a single player game that has a global chat channel and some dungeons that you can do co op.

It will be interesting to see where it goes after month 1. As far as this new breed of story based MMO goes though this game is light years ahead of SWTOR so if that game can keep its head above water then TSW should do pretty well.

It's beautiful game with proper gaming rig.

Conclusion of "Dawning of an Endless Night" (first 18 part story mission) was most epic experience I had during beta, and definitely purchase-worthy content.

Performance dropped horribly for me in Egypt, but my processor is borderline min spec.  Hoping to hear some news of further optimizations for low-end systems before I take the full plunge.

Both are fundamentally differenent games, they dont have to compete.

As you said TSW is aiming at the mature gamers, that like story and depth.

GW2 is aiming more at the younger typical MMO gamer that does not want to read questtexts and such. But it has other means of creating interesting background stories.  On top of that, GW2 has the better PvP setting.

Both are great games, and with GW2 having no sub, i can immagine many people playing both over a very long time, because game developers can never create enough content to keep everyone bussy, so certain people might switch between these 2 games regularly, which is only possible because GW2 has no SUB fee.

Well....

If you play solo, its a singelplayer game, as in all other games.

I play Tera aswell, but none of my friends does, so Tera got Singelplayer, for me , so i quit tera and took up where all my friends are.

And we are having a blast,

But the feeling i have of this game , most like its EverQuest 2 , i meen that the game,is simmular to EverQuest 2 but with diffrent moster/location/weapons

I think this describes every themepark nowadays.

Regarding GW2, 2 completly different games targeting diffrerent audiences. Now, what i do want, is both of them combined.

You said it, GW2 and TSW does not have to compete at all, both are different games and both cater to a different crowd, but for players like me I can enjoy both of them for a very very long time.

Can't wait for GW2 as well hehe

I managed to talk a friend into buying it just in time for early access, I had played all the beta weekends but he hadnt done anything in the game prior to buying it. We played together for hours friday night going round solving the puzzles, as I had already done some of these before I let my friend do all the solving this time round. We both had a great time and hopefully this game has a great future too it.

At the moment the only thing that seems to let the game down is some of the community just cant be bothered to put in the effort to work things out themselves. Im sick of seeing spam in chat asking whats the password for this or whats the code for that when all they have to do is read everything about the mission and just do a bit of thinking.

Im hoping this isnt going to spoil my enjoyment going forwards as at the moment all of the spam is about missions i have already done but later in the game I dont want to see mission spoilers about the stuff i havent done yet.

not all quests can be solved wiithout looking for outside help.  1723 Music of the Seasons for example, there is no answer anywhere in game, which made use of the in game browser awesome, not to just find the quest answer but to do your own research

I have to agree that this game really seem to attract the older mmo players with lots of experience who want those "old experiences back"

Im a lifetimer as well in this game! :)

Now I just hope to see all the good people I played with in the past in this game... Now that would be awesome ;)

Some of us are educated enough to know the answers though even if it does take some thinking and remembering. but the thing I object too most is when the answers are put in general chat for everyone to see I mean just PM the guy asking for the answer.

And the mission where you need to find the code for the datapad in the church yard it even hints at where the code is if people actually read what it says on the phone.

its just that the WOW generation have to be spoon fed  every step of the way unable to figure things out themselves, and I truely hope this isnt going to be the downfall of TSW where they eventually have to dumb down the game to attract more players

I think we players need to adjust us to this game hehe ;)

I know I had to when I first started playing beta. 

I think it will be better after the first zone. In Kingsmouth people simply need to learn how to play this game, how to read, how to understand... Its not easy to learn how to eat with a knife and fork when all you have been spoonfeed all your life!
