Not really, I've already had way more replies on this thread than on their tech forums. On the TSW forums I just get totally ignored.

Did you try the installation on a different machine? Theoretically you don't have to buy the game to install it, so i would just see if it patches ok and then buy it.

Did you change your machine since the trouble with AoC/beta TSW, or is it the same?

Yes I have tried installing it on another machine and it didn't work. I didn't change machines only got a extra machine(macbook) and tried it on there, no luck. 

I remember when I first installed TSW my anti-virus program caused the same issue. Used Kaspersky back then and had to turn it off when patching the game.

If it didn't gain popularity from going B2P than Funcom might as well close the doors.  It's a shame that the TSW community has so many bad apples, there are a ton of people that would never try the game just because of the perception shown by it's more vocal members.

Yeah, but they still aren't as bad (at least around here) as the GW2 fans.  

Agree and GW2 fanboi bashing TSW community in a TSW thread just proves that point.

I don't want to bash the game but if you want to know why I consider GW2 to be shallow I can give a few points: 

1) Bad story written for 7 years olds (or at least so simple that every 7 yo understands it) coming with the worst voiceovers I've heard myself

2) Each zone is the same except the mob difficulty. Snow or not snow they look like copy paste at least for me. Disclaimer: I have not had any desire to level any of my chars up to 80 so I may be very wrong here. Also, I think that GW2 cities are great.

3) Lack of grouping, lack of everything that even remotdely resembles socializing. Rift did dynamic events ten times better imho. At least people had/have to somewhat communicate there.

Btw, I think that GW2 is a decent game, just I don't think it was worth bashing and trolling every other MMO. With a monhtly sub it would have been dead by now. Rolled a ranger yesterday and gonna level him during the holidays. Hope I can get to 80 with this class.

It's official. Funcom and TSW have the fastest content delivery in the industry.

 

Well done Funcom. 

Although being a TSW fanboi I think that Trion was and probably is (don't know exactly because I stopped playing last year) faster updating Rift. Still, FC does really good job with TSW. Playing since headstart and still having lot of fun.

Back up this argument please. I'm a lifetimer and believe it is fair and I support it.

I'm a lifetimer too and I like the changes so far.

I have a lifetime account and I feel the compensation is adequate.    I was spending money each month on buying clothing in the store and now I don't  have to.  I'm actually saving money now that they went this route.

 

True. Got free points, went to CS and bought some hefty goggles and "the Brain" title right away. CS is pure convinience if you have most of the skills already but I like to be able to shop for funny things. As a lifetimer I feel that the compensation is very adequate.

New player of TSW here.

Let me get this straight, it is possible for a single character to learn all skill from all weapons?  So you can be a healer,and if you like switch to a tank or dps class if you want, without re-rolling?

Yes and everything between those roles. You can choose skills you want and match with appropriate gear. You can play either dps, tank or healer or have s rurvival build to fight with a bunch of hard mobs. I know it takes some time to dig into all those skills but there are many sites with viable builds so I would suggest to check some of those.

After years of seeing what game companies have done to screw over their customers I gotta say shame on you for ever putting in for a lifetime sub.

Why? This is my first lifetime sub after playing MMOs over 10 years and I don't regret this purchase. There are some apparently annoyed by this move and there are people like me who like the change.

See, it is for this very reason that lifetime subs are worthless.

TSW life time isn't worthless. Inform yourself please. I ended up buying GM pack yesterday because it is a great deal. Infact life time subscribers got even a better deal with new changes.

Cannot predict the future but so far I can agree. At least for me it does not look like a bad deal.

So it's finally here. About damn time. Will definately pick this game up now. I must say though, it's sad to see all the TSW fanbois all of a sudden accepting this model. Accepting xp boost items among other things, the usual double standard...

 

We are starting to see the GW2 effect everywhere now.

I'm ok with this and so what? Why so bitter? I have at least 10 xp potions I got with lifetime sub and I never used them. Simply no need. As I don't mind DLCs as long as montly points cover the price. But if they start selling viable end game gear in CS I'm out and done with the game. Until that I cannot see what's teh problem.

My post was incorrect. I said "all TSW fanbois" when I ment to say "some". I don't know your case and don't have time to look at post histories.

 

But, we know there were many fanbois posting what a horrible business model was b2p and how horrible the xp boost items are(which btw, expect more things like that to come). Not to mention how an idea of having to pay for DLC(which you will have to if you are not subbed) would be also frowned upon. Now, everything is ok. It's the double standard that I dislike, I'm actually ok with b2p and encouraged it from the start.

I prefer P2P MMOs any time but as I really like TSW I don't mind it's new pricing model. Until they start selling P2W and game breaking items like end game gear in CS ofc. XP pots are not one of those and like I said I had already forgotten about them just until today. B2P like GW2 is absolutely fine by me.
