Good stuff all around. Really looking forward to the udates and the Halloween Event thats will start this weekend. As Joel and most players agree, The Secret World is a very good game with some faults and despite their subscriber number and layoff situation, they are really delivering on the monthly updates! However, he and Funcom fail to realize and/or admit, that their lack of success is not caused by any shortcomings of the game itself, but mostly caused by the business model they rolled out with. Maybe it doen't take a change as drastic as B2P/F2P to bring in the players, a reduction of the subscription to below 10$ might work wonders.

“which also puts a DoT on characters which can only be healed through.” They seem to have cut him of at the end of that sentence, maybe it was to much of a reveal. :) |

Dont wish for it to go free to play. If it did they would not be able to fund the weekly updates. If you want anything then maybe drop the price a little to the typical 9 pounds :P

If the animation revamp is as bad as the character creation revamp was then theres nothing to see here just more smoke and mirrors . and still not even a height option , so sad . |

Originally posted by Yakamomoto Indeed, he probably has an idiotic agenda to bash TSW and I have the same impression about you! You just have a clear agenda to bash Guild Wars 2, I never read any productive information about the game in your posts, just the same boring, generic shallow criticism about "casual gameplay" and "hype". You see, I have the impression this guy never played TSW, just like I have the impression you never really experienced GW2, but even if you two played these games I still don't understand the repetitive, boring, idiotic, unproductive "criticism". I will never understand negative, obsessive and misinformed behavior towards a game! Real, deep, constructive and productive criticism is always good for everyone, but you know this is not the case. If this guy just don't like TSW, there are many other games he can play and have fun and I can say the same to you. Anyway, the interview is interesting and I am excite to see how TSW will evolve and grow as a game. Funcon always has some nice concepts and creations, I hope they learn from their mistakes with AoC and AO (both games full of nice ideas and atmospheres).

same as always. loads of "will be great/new/exciting" - but once its out, its half assed and bugged. new exciting melee weapon ? ok then pls get rid of cleaving bosses oh and make melee viable vs. ranged. reticule is again nothing that adds to content - a fing waste of time. also loads of people allready have a hard time with the controls and targeting. fix bugs, fix skills, fix pvp, fix dx11, fulfill the promise you made about "play as you want" because atm there is only a few viable ways to play endgame ! |

Originally posted by Elsabolts You obviously don’t play the game or follow it in any meaningful way other than to bash it. TSW is an awesome game, many updates and features incoming including missions, raid, theatre and other rpg stuff, like sitting, smoking cigars etc also reticule aiming for combat and is all in Issue 1.4. THE SECRET WORLD - PAY ONCE PLAY FOREVER - Give it a go! http://www.thesecretworld.com/buy/ |

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. |

One thing has not changed, you want to grind out AA/SP you still have to repeat the some old boring content. Nothing they added with this update fixes that problem. I was hoping for real content, not another aux weapon that adds even more grind. And I hate the pvp in this game so oh well.

If I would like to make a list which games I would NEVER touch, one of top items would be "reticule combat". Just hope this will be in pvp only as i could not care less for pvp then i actually do. If not implemented in pve I will for sure return at some time.

In the UK the subscription costs roughly the equivelent of 18 dollars a month which is far too much for a game that really should have been buy to play .

Originally posted by bluefunk I'm not opposed to F2P, but I'm not sure they will go this route. It hasn't been the miracle drug they were looking for to fix AoC. I don't see it fixing the revenue problem they're facing now. Trion has really set the bar for content updates and patching. I don't see Funcom being able to compete really. Even RIFT isn't worth a sub to me and TSW certainly isn't. They should consider B2P with their cash shop. I think it is a revenue model that would attract more players while still providing a certain revenue stream from purchases. What they should not do is lower the box cost to try and lure subs in. That just won't work and they'll be shooting themselves in the foot in the process. |

TSW should open up for F2P only in PVP new world. this new world should be maked by the players them self like the car game trackmania. then TSW would be the most played MMO in thr world. Hope you read this Joel!! |

Originally posted by Melieza I stand corrected. After some digging on the website (and I do mean digging) I find they are offering a 3 day trial. For someone like me, that works out to about 6-8 hours of gameplay, part of that being eaten up with installation and setup. Oh yeah. That should be plenty of time to decide whether to drop 50 bucks on this game. Really working to draw in those new players, I see. |

Originally posted by tman5 Just so you know, the trial begins first time you log in, not when you register on the website and begin installation/setup.
Also, I'm pretty sure you still have the option to complete 30 missions and have another 2 days added to the trial for a total of 5 days.
I think that's plenty of time to know if you like the game or not, especially after completing 30 missions for the extra 2 days. If after completing 30 missions you are not hooked with the game, then I think it's safe to assume you should just move on and find a game that suits your gaming tastes. |
